Southern heat

After the fairytale dream, a beach reverie. A number of items were in the Yabu (mushroom) hunt, from the ever-pretty G Field (note that some mushrooms are very small). Then I followed up a notecard alerting me to a freebie at Donna Flora, and discovered a very interesting southern shopping district. I got a very striking freebie necklace from one shop (I may blog it in future) and also some freebie hair, also very striking, from Pocket Mirrors.

Lilla top and necklace: Donna Flora (5 Linden)

Hibiscus capri jeans, Sunny Tong sandals in peach and hibiscus flower in hair: G Field (hunt items)

Josefine Short Black hair: Pocket Mirrors (freebie in store)

Fairytale

I joined the many people chomping at the Lucky Cupcake at Evie's Closet. I snagged a really sweet sweatshirt set that confirms that I believe in fairies, a little fairy friend that hovers round your face, a couple of storecards (I used one to buy my hair garland) and finally this wonderful Aurora gown. The outfit is completed with the long pendant that was a prize in the Yabu sim hunt. The pictures were taken near the Caverna Obscura shop, a very pretty area.

Colourful

Some quick pictures of recent grabs. There were some very cheap items out on the LVS sim, and the dresses are all from there, as in one of the necklaces. The hair is from the current House of Heart free sampler in two cases, and the other hair is from the RELIC freebie board. Also in the mix are shoes from Baby Monkey, and some DSN jewel gifts.
The first picture shows outfit 1, and also Outfit 1 with one of the extraordinary hairs that were free from Baiastace at the SL 6th Birthday celebrations.

Hair fair

In this post I show off a couple of items that were freebies or dollaries at the Hair Fair, plus some items from the new Fabulously Free HQ on the Car Wash sim. I picked up some nice hair and will be showing it off in future posts, but probably my favourite was this Angelica style from Rock Candy: a dollarbie pack included all colours. Sari's had freebie dreadlocks on her stand, but I'm showing her other Hair Fair gift, the Fringe Bene baby doll dress with beaded hem. The Peacock hair flower (there's a little feather at the top) was also free in the Fuel booth. I wanted some cover up for my legs, so I visited the Fabulously Free HQ and found a nice freebie pack from Malt which included a dress and these Genista jeans. Baby Monkey had been generous as usual, and the pretty red pumps and little red shoulder bag are from BM. To complete the outfit, U&R Dogs had donated pretty Cyprian bangles and matching earrings.
Later on I visited the new Yezibah sim, where Ibizarre has relocated. Although it was a whole 50 Linden, I couldn't resist the beach bag replete with goodies that you see in the second picture!

Sascha style

Sascha has gifted a lovely dress to her group, with a worked bodice and transluscent wrap: the Gaggle dress in Turqoise. Fortunately I discovered this gift from Eolande in my inventory that matches the dress perfectly: Hibiscus Hair Pin in silvermist.
My hair was a DSN gift from JADAStyle: Catherine in black. I am wearing two dollarbie items from PURE: the flowerbracelet and flat necklace.In the picture below I am relaxing in the Life is Good sim.

Gypsy!

A quick post to feature two items from ALB Dreams and two from Duh! The skirt is a group gift from ALB Dreams which you find instore: join the LAMU group and make sure your group tag is activated. Since it does NOT come with glitch pants I kept on the Pizzacato Poppies pants and shirt - the waistband of that outfit seemed to go nicely with the multicolours in the skirt. The hair is also from ALB: a very unusual new style, and this colour was only a few Linden as a special offer.

I visited Duh! to collect the free clogs that everyone had been blogging - I think this pair was free as part of one of the hunts featured instore. However I was even more pleased with the Mosaic necklace - a distinctive design and a nice contrast between the various stones and gems. This was a group gift - I think a Subscribomatic group.

Two items from Earthstones made up the ensemble. The bangle had been free (it is almost an Earthstones logo!) , but it was single strand. It is Copy, so I made a copy, attached it to my hand and edited to place it over the wrist, then I wore the usual forearm-attached bangle too. The earrings (just seen) were a celebration gift last year.

Poppies with pride

I finally snagged the Pizzacato Poppies dress from the Lucky Chair at Icing, and as you can see, it's a dream. I accessorised it simply with the Floria bangles that were in a former GF Field hunt, a Kunstkammer necklace free in a St Patrick's day hunt and Maitreya pumps from the generous Suscribomatic gift pack.

My hair is NOT free: it's the luscious Piper II from Maitreya. My eyes are from Miriel and the skin was Nuclear Boutique (no longer available).

The "flying" picture was taken at the PopFuzz shop. It has a great "healing room" - when you go in and click on the floor, a night sky globe rezzes around you and you can click on a "float" ball.
