Go on a Voyage of Hope, with Elikatira and DeeTaleZ

Go on a Voyage of Hope, with Elikatira and DeeTaleZ

Hi, peeps!

Spring is in the air, at last. The weather’s getting warmer (albeit a lot wetter here in the UK, but we’re used to hefting brollies aloft!) and I was so happy to find this absolutely gorgeous maxi dress from Elikatira out for Fifty Linden Fridays this week! It’s still available today (Saturday) so hopefully it’ll be out all weekend, if you want to run and grab it.

With fits for Maitreya, Legacy, and eBody Reborn, this lovely ‘Voyage’ dress comes with a fabby 24-colour/pattern HUD. You’ve got everything and the kitchen sink on the HUD, from solid colours in bright tones, to both pastel and bright stripes and patterns, and even some darker tones. Perfect for an evening beach party!

Mar’s skin is the ‘Hope’ skin for LeLutka EvoX heads, in the Mixed skintone, from DeeTaleZ. It’s also available in a paler ‘NordCold’ tone, each for L$100, for Saturday Sale, and it has a lovely faint smattering of freckles across the nose and cheeks. As someone who is ‘fairy-kissed’ in real life, I love finding lightly-freckled skins in SL.

Mar’s teamed the outfit with some group gift jewellery from Kunglers – the ‘Tracey Set’. The group is free to join (paste this link into chat, then click it to bring up the group join window). With six tones each for the smaller and larger crystals, and four metal options, you’ll find something that will work with most outfits, and the jewellery is unrigged, so it will work on any head and body!

Mar’s makeup is the ‘Havana Shadow’ (EvoX BoM) in the ‘Tide’ option, by Veechi, her eyes are from the ‘Opal 2’ pack (Lelutka & BoM) by Sequoia, and her hair is the ‘Mystique’ style by Wasabi.

Go out and snag yourself some summery goodness this weekend!

Winter Warmers from Just Because, Riot, and Essenz!

Winter Warmers from Just Because, Riot, and Essenz!

Hi peeps!

This weekend’s snuggly outfit comes courtesy of a gorgeous oversized sweater from Just Because, a huge fatpack of BoM leggings from Riot, and warm suede boots from Essenz.

The Yolande Oversized Top comes in six pretty colours from Just Because, for Saturday Sale (L$75 per colour) and contains fits for Maitreya, Legacy, Legacy Perky, Kupra, and eBody Reborn. It includes an alpha layer for Kupra that will work with any other BoM-enabled body (and will save all that fiddling around with alpha HUDs!)

The leggings are from a humungous 35-colour BoM set from Riot, also for Saturday Sale (L$75 for the fatpack). Mar’s wearing the ‘ghost’ tone with this look. The gorgeous suede Poland Boots are from Essenz, again for Saturday Sale (L$75). Mar opted for the fatpack, which is a bit more spendy at L$650, but the colour shown in this post is in one of the smaller 3-colour packs (the one on the right of the display) for just L$75 and it matches this colour of the oversized top perfectly! They come in fits for Maitreya, Legacy, and eBody Reborn.

Lastly, I’ve shown this jewellery before, but it’s so pretty I’m going to show it again. These are the Nora Choker & Earrings which are group gifts from Orsini Jewelry. The group costs L$150 to join, but there are several gifts at the store, including earrings, necklaces, bracelets, anklets, and belly piercings.

Although most of these items are out for Saturday Sale, a lot of the creators who take part in the weekend sales leave their items out all weekend, so if you can’t grab them today, try tomorrow!

 

New Year Sparkles – A pretty party look from Just Because, Kibitz, Sequoia, and Poppet!

New Year Sparkles – A pretty party look from Just Because, Kibitz, Sequoia, and Poppet!

Hi peeps!

Not only is it weekend sale time, but it’s also a big party weekend. If it’s not already 2023 for you, you can get your virtual glam on before the fireworks by running around in the next few hours and grabbing these lovely cheapies. And hey, even if it is already 2023 for you, you can never have enough glammy stuff; that’s what I say!

The dress is from Just Because, and comes in six pretty shades. It has animated sparkles (choose from several colours!) over the top of the dress, or you can turn off the sparklies if you don’t want them. This is a Saturday Sale item and costs L$75. It contains fits for Maitreya, Legacy & Legacy Perky, Kupra, and eBody Reborn.

Mar’s jewellery is all from Kibitz: the Marla’s Necklace (four metal colours, sold separately for L$75 each, with fits for Maitreya, Legacy, and eBody Reborn) for Saturday Sale, and the Tara’s Earrings (two metal colours, sold separately) which are unrigged and still available from Fifty Linden Friday.

The lipstick is from a BoM set for EvoX heads, by Poppet for So Kawaii Sunday (L$65) and the eyeshadow is a lovely EvoX applier set from Sequoia at The Sales Room (L$75). I’ve still got my Alaskametro sparkly BoM eyeshadow underneath it, to add a little bit of glimmer. Look in the previous posts for that one!

Lastly, the eyes are a stunning LeLutka applier & BoM set from Sequoia for Crafty Weekend Sales (L$75). Sequoia also have quite a few group gifts in their store, and the group join is only L$10. Well worth a peep if you want some new peepers!

Happy New Year, from Mar! x

 

Evening Glam – limited time offers!

Evening Glam – limited time offers!

Hi peeps!

If you need a glamorous look for a New Year party, now’s the time to grab these items! This look is entirely free, with the exception of the mesh body:

I blogged about the free LeLUTKA EvoX mesh head, and the IVES Beauty skin in my previous post. They’re part of the current 54-store Holiday Special giveaway that’s taking place until 30th December 2022.

The hair, by Doux, is also part of the giveaway, as is the matching hairbase from Not Found and the lipstick from Holloway Beauty.

The lovely eyeshadow is from Alaskametro. I have the fatpack, which costs L$125, but Alaska always has a free wearable tester that has no demo markings or anything on it. The wearable tester for this particular makeup just happens to be this pretty pink tone!

The dress is the ‘Pull Me Closer’ gown, from Lurve at The Free Dove. It comes in fits for Maitreya, Slink Physique & Hourglass, Belleza Freya & Isis & Venus, TMP, and standard sizing. And the jewellery is one of the group gifts from Orsini Jewelry. The group is free to join, and you can pick up some lovely gifts here at the in-world store.

Free Dove Feature: Rebel Hope dress – Get your rock chick on!

Free Dove Feature: Rebel Hope dress – Get your rock chick on!

  • Dress fits both mesh and system bodies. Shoes for mesh bodies only.
  • Dress, necklace, eyeshadow all free. Group join fee for hair. 7 seas fishing rod needed for boots & lipstick.

Hi peeps!

Just a quickie Free Dove Feature today, and it’s a rock chick look that I abso-flippin’-lutely LOVE!

The dress is a fantastic freebie from Rebel Hope at The Free Dove. It comes with a 10-colour HUD for the dress and 4 metal options. Including fits for Maitreya, Slink Physique and Hourglass, Belleza Freya, Isis, and Venus, as well as Standard Sizing, this is a hot one for mesh and system bodies alike. (I’ll leave you to discover the stunning back view of it!)

Mar’s eyeshadow is the freebie ‘Wytch’ tester by Alaskametro. You can find it for Catwa and Lelutka heads, as well as system tattoo layers here on Marketplace. Mar’s lipstick is from the current ‘Fish for This’ outfit at Sn@tch. This comes with system tattoos and an omega applier. You’ll need a 7 Seas fishing rod (which you can buy outside the Sn@tch store) to get the entire Fish for This outfit. There’s a new outfit every two weeks, released on a Wednesday.

Speaking of that Fish for This outfit, these are the amazing boots that are also part of it! These come in fits for Maitreya, Slink, Belleza, and Tonic.

Have you bought a mesh body but not yet made the plunge with a mesh head? You might be struggling to match or hide your skin tones at the neck, but I’ve got the perfect solution for you! This lovely little choker from Ezmerelda is absolutely free at The Free Dove, and it can be resized to fit any mesh body. No more visible neck seams!

The pricey item in this look is the hair by Sintiklia. It’s one of the many group gifts on the wall in the store, and it comes with four ways to wear it (via a styling HUD) and a fabby 12-colour HUD. The Sintiklia group costs L$250 to join, but it’s so worth it. Group gifts galore, plus lucky letter boards as well!

Here’s a pic of the current group gifts. They all contain full fatpacks:

And here are the current lucky letter boards:

 

Free Dove Feature: FurtaCor dress & heels

Free Dove Feature: FurtaCor dress & heels

  • Mesh body parts required for the dress & shoes
  • Dress & shoes are free. 50L for skin, group join fees for hair & jewellery

Hi peeps!

Here’s another Free Dove feature for you, with a gorgeous texture-change dress and shoes from FurtaCor. I love this, because there are so many mix-n-match options for plain colours and patterns between the main body of the dress, its drapey section (totally a word, and totally because I can’t think of the proper word!) and the shoes.

You’ll find the dress at The Free Dove. You’ll need to be in the (free-to-join) Free Dove group, and to have the ‘Blessed by a Dove’ group tag active when you click in order to get the item.

The dress is rigged for Maitreya, Slink Physique & Hourglass, and TMP bodies, while the shoes are rigged for Maitreya, Slink, and TMP. Mar’s opted for the pretty red floral option here, but as you can see from the HUD you can chop and change multiple options, so you can have a plain-colour dress, a patterned dress, patterned dress with plain drape, and plain dress with patterned drape. You can also have plain or pattern on the shoes. I love outfits that come with this much customisability! (I’m really doing well with the new words here, aren’t I? lol!)

Gotta just show the fabby shoes as well. I really love this style!

Moving on to the skin, and this gorge ‘Dreams’ Omega applier (for both face and body) is a 50L offer by 7 Deadly Skins. It comes with the red lipstick already on it, and it was initially put out for July 4th, but it’s still on the desk in the mainstore, so if you want it, hurry over there to pick it up! (Guys, you’ll also find a completely FREE shape for the Akeruka ‘Leon’ head that was recently a free gift on the desk, so if you have that head, that’s one you might want to pick up, too.)

Mar’s eyeshadow is another lovely freebie tester by alaskametro. This one’s the ‘Soiree’ version (Marketplace links to: Lelutka, Catwa, and Omega versions). Alaska is so incredibly generous to offer one shade of each of her makeups absolutely free, as wearable testers.

Mar’s hair is the July group gift from Truth. As I’ve mentioned several times before, if you can stump up the L$350 join fee for the Truth VIP group, it is SO worth it! Every month you’ll get a full fatpack – usually including a styling HUD for even more options! – of Truth’s gorgeous hair. This lovely ‘Gwen’ style has options for a braid, flowers, or nothing around the pulled-back loose bun, as well as many different options for the bangs/fringe and little wispy bits.

Finally, another group with a join fee is Kunglers Fashion Design. For the L$50 join fee this month you’ll get this beautiful jewellery set. The ‘Dalva’ rings come with gem options for crystal, topaz, and tourmaline, and the ‘Jeska’ earrings come with gem options for quartz, topaz, tourmaline, and obsidian.

Free Dove Feature: Lurve dress

Free Dove Feature: Lurve dress

  • Mesh feet required for the shoes. The dress is for both mesh and system avatars
  • Mostly free! (50L for necklace, 99L for shoes)

Hi peeps!

The second Free Dove Feature for today is this lovely, leg-revealing dress from Lurve. It comes with fitmesh fits for: Maitreya, Slink (Physique & Hourglass), Belleza, TMP, and Standard Sizing for classic avatars. The ‘partial pants’ have appliers for Maitreya, Slink, and Omega, an installer for TMP, and system clothing pants. The dress also comes with a pretty 4-strand pink pearl necklace, but Mar opted for something a bit different. More on that in a minute!

Mar has teamed it with the stunning ‘Harmony’ hair in platinum from the current Sn@tch ‘Fish for This’ outfit (this round closes on Wednesday 27th June, so if you want it, get busy fishing! Info on how to fish can be found in this post) and the L$99 ‘Giada’ heels from KC Couture (Marketplace link) for Maitreya, Belleza, Slink, and TMP. As with so many KC Couture shoes, you get a huge colour-change HUD for all the different sections of the shoes.

The necklace Mar is wearing is the oh-so-lovely L$50 ‘Heart Charm Necklace’ from Bowtique (Marketplace link). You get a HUD containing 20 colour options each for the ribbon and the heart charm, plus 5 metals. As an added bonus, the whole thing can be edited, so you can select the white options and then tint the ribbon and heart to match your outfit!

Mar is wearing the free ‘Bali’ tester eyeshadow from Alaskametro (Marketplace link for Catwa and Lelutka appliers, plus system tattoo layer) which she’s blended on her Catwa head to show more of the pink and less of the gold, plus the free ‘Nurain’ Catwa lipstick applier from Essences (Marketplace link).

(Check out Alaskametro’s Marketplace store for more fabulous freebie testers! Just put tester in the search once you have her store page open.)

Free Dove Feature: Masoom dress

Free Dove Feature: Masoom dress

  • Mesh body parts required for the clothing and footwear
  • Absolutely free!

Hi peeps!

It’s the weekend, so I can log in and do some more Free Dove Features for you :) First up today is this lovely silky dress from Masoom. It’s available, absolutely free, at Free Dove in this single colour, and it contains fits for: Maitreya, Slink Hourglass, Belleza Isis, and TMP.

Mar has teamed it with some fab shoes from KC Couture (one of my favourite places for cheapie footwear) – the L$99 Calais Heels (Marketplace link). These have a 40-colour customisation HUD for each of the six sections of the shoes, so you have endless possibilities for matching any outfit that you have on!

Mar’s hair is ‘Jordy’ from Sn@tch (not free) and her eyeshadow is from a free tester by !Musa! (which I blogged about here). Her lippy is the big spendy item in this post. I saw these (Catwa-only) Queen Lipsticks from Envious’s ‘Hello Alice’ range at the Holiday Hop and Shop last year, and I fell in love with them. They’re out of the remit of this blog, at L$220, but if you love them as much as I do (the gradients are gorgeous, and they blend really nicely on the Catwa heads) then the Marketplace link is here.

Go Loco for Coco! Tons of fabulous freebies available!

  • Some items are for mesh bodies, others work for classic avatars. Look closely at each ad image to see what’s what!
  • Absolutely free!

Hi peeps!

Have you checked out the Coco group and store yet? Well if you haven’t, you should! Cocoro Lemon is one of SL’s incredibly generous designers who puts out a whole wall full of fabulous freebies in her store. Mar has put together an outfit from just two of them.

This gorgeous backless knit dress has fits for Maitreya and both Slink Physique and Hourglass. It also uses the auto-alpha option of those mesh bodies’ HUDs, which saves a lot of fiddling around and clicking.

Add to that these stunning beige satin mules, with fits for the mid versions of Maitreya, Slink, and Belleza, and you have a lovely ready-to-go outfit from just one store!

Mar has finished her look off with some freebie hair by Charme at The Free Dove. This comes with a 13-colour HUD that lets you change the tone of the main hair as well as the streaks (click at the bottom corner of the HUD’s squares to change the streaks).

Here’s a back view of the dress. It may only come in one colour, but that colour reminds me of toffee. And now I’m flippin’ hungry! ;)

Here’s the full wall of gifts right now at Coco:

The Coco group is free to join, so have your group tag active, make your way to the Coco store, and go shopping for some great freebies!

Free Dove feature: Prism dress

Free Dove feature: Prism dress

  • No mesh body parts required if you don’t have any. The dress and shoes have fits for both mesh bodies and classic avatars!
  • Absolutely free!

Hi peeps!

Today’s Free Dove Feature is this lovely classic dress by Prism.

It comes with a 5-colour HUD, and it’s available in a bewilderingly-humongous number of mesh body fits. Deep breath: standard fitmesh sizing for classic avatars, Belleza Freya, Isis, and Venus, Ebody, Slink Hourglass and Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy and Fine, and Maitreya. So you’re bound to find it will fit on you, no matter whether you’ve got a fully meshed-up bod, or you’re a vintage ‘classic’ gal!

Mar has teamed the dress with a gorgeous set of pumps by Baby Monkey, also at The Free Dove. These come in fits for Maitreya, Slink, Belleza, and for classic avatars. If you’re wearing mesh feet, you’ll need to use the ‘mid’ options for these shoes. The HUD comes with 10 classic autumnal and basic colours, so you’ll find a match to most things you’re wearing

Mar’s hair is another Free Dove item (in fact, everything except her mesh head and body is from there!) This lovely long style is by Firelight, who have several free mesh hairs at Free Dove. The HUD comes with 6 ‘full’ shades and 6 ‘wispy’ shades. And Mar’s earrings are from Lazuri at Free Dove, with 3 colours for the gems, and 5 colours for the metals.
