Spotlight

Of course, one of the creators giving away store credit at SLB19 is Blueberry.  There’s L$300 credit for all comers!

I went to Blueberry’s main store to look for something to buy with my credit so I could do this post, and how could I go past this bodysuit? It’s part of a new set of clothes called “Spotlight”, which includes jeans, a jacket, and boots.  My L$300 gift was not going to get me very far with the full outfit, but as I liked the bodysuit anyway, and as it’s probably the most versatile piece, the bodysuit it was!

It’s L$250 for a single color (that sneaky L$50 left over again!), but there are fatpacks, mega packs, and tops, jackets, and jeans packs, all available for various prices.

The bodysuit is sized to fit Lara, Lara Petite, Legacy, Legacy Perky, Freya, Isis, Hourglass, and Physique.  It comes with a HUD allowing you to set the fabric to sheer or opaque, and to adjust the waist length.  This last feature makes it super useful, not only as a bodysuit, but also as a top!  And it’s tight fitting enough so that it should easily go under whatever mesh jeans you have, making it suitable for a range of outfits!

You can find Blueberry at SLB19 via the list of direct teleports for all creators at SLB19 Shop & Hop.

I’m a sucker for anything with corset lacing.  When I visited ZK Store armed with a L$300 gift card available at SLB19 and saw this dress, the decision on what to spend my gift on was easily made.

The dress is L$250 for a single color (yes, that sneaky L$50 left over, temping you to top up the card…)

It’s sized to fit Lara, Lara Petite, Legacy, Reborn, Freya, Erika, Erika Petits Seins, Kupra, Kupra Cups, and Kupra Corset.

There’s a HUD included which lets you choose from a range of panty and metal colors, show or hide the panties, and enable or disable materials.  I don’t know why you’d want to disable materials, they look fantastic!

A number of creators at SLB19 are giving gift cards (or store credit) to all comers.  I really like the idea of doing this, because you get a gift you’ll actually enjoy and use, because you pick it yourself.  On a more cynical note, I suspect creators love this idea too, because they get you to their store, and generally the credit is set up so that you have some left over after a purchase, tempting you to top up the card to use the remaining credit 😉

One of the creators giving away credit is vagrant.  Surprisingly, I only have one other thing from them in my inventory, and I can’t remember where I got it from, so this is the first time I’ve actually visited their store.  They have some very well done outfits and their entire store is currently discounted by 50%!

This outfit caught my eye.

The top and the shorts are sold separately, and both are priced at L$200 (with the discount).  Fortunately the gift was L$500, as normally, even with the discount, I’d hesitate before spending L$400 on a single outfit.

Sizes are Lara, Lara Petite, Freya, Legacy, Legacy Perky, and Reborn.  There’s also an unrigged version of the shorts included.

The top has a HUD that lets you select a color for the base fabric.  The shorts HUD has the same fabric selection, plus a whole lot of options.  You can select colors for the panties and pockets, and you can hide or show both (I’m not showing the pockets in these photos, but you can set a bunch of little sayings on them too).  The shorts are also adorned with some sparkly gemstones, which (in my opinion, fortunately) you can hide too.

Just because Hair Fair is open, don’t forget that the SLB19 Shop and Hop event is still going until the 10th of July too!

Here’s another FREE gift from the event.

This top and skirt are separates and are sized to fit Lara, Legacy, and Reborn.  The outfit also comes with a set of puffy elbow sleeves, which I’ve chosen not to wear.

A HUD is included with four denim textures for the top and sleeves, and four solids for the skirt.

Hair Fair 2022

blue Events, LotD

Hair Fair is open today!  It runs until the 10th of July, so there is tons of time to visit.

There is a small number of FREE gifts available, and for me the standout was this updo bun.  It’s only in browns, but it does have a tint HUD, which allowed me to get a dark red.

The hairdo comes in four different styles and includes a variety of differently styled bangs as well.  It’s unrigged and therefore resizable and you can reposition it.  The HUD includes a selection of mostly dark browns, and with the mesh detailing and the ability to turn materials on provided by the HUD, produces a nice realistic look!

As I mentioned, there is a tint HUD included, but the base colors are dark browns, which mostly resist tinting, so if you’re exclusively a blonde, this one’s not for you 🙂

Oh, and Hair Fair supports Wigs For Kids, a worthy charity.  Don’t forget to buy your bandana while you’re at the event!

This is the standout dress from SLB19 today (actually, I shopped yesterday)!  I’ve now done thirteen of the twenty sims that make up the shopping event.

I don’t think I’ve mentioned yet that the theme for the celebration is “steampunk”.  This genre holds no massive appeal for me (although I appreciate some of the decorations that people dream up for it, for example the steampunk sim at the Sci Fi Con recently).  This might be the reason that I’m not noticing so many clothes as gifts… there are not a lot of people creating clothes for steampunk?

This wonderful lacy dress is available to fit Lara, Lara Petite, Legacy, Legacy Perky, and Reborn.  It comes with a multi color HUD to allowing you to choose the color for the main dress and the accents and belt separately.

Hello sweets!  I’ve unfortunately been caught up in RL over the last couple of days and have missed posting something from SLB19.  But here we go!  I’ve now looked at nine sims, only eleven to go!

This gift dress from Alter was the standout for me today.  It’s pretty boho styling is available to fit Lara, Freya, Hourglass, Legacy, and Kupra Bimbo.

The outstanding gift from my shopping escapade at SLB19 today is this corset top and skirt from Blackstone, a new store to me.

The top and skirt are separates, and both fit Lara, Legacy, and Kupra.  A HUD with fifteen color choices for the fabric and four color choices for the metal is included too.  The texture details are very nice!

SLB19 Shop & Hop

The Shop and Hop event for SL’s 19th Birthday celebrations is open today!  There are twenty sims and a lot of creators present!  I’ve read that there are about 400 creators attending the event, and most of them are stocking at least one FREE gift for everyone!

I suspect my best plan will be to do some of the sims each day, so I looked at three today, and these two bikinis from different designers where the standout gifts.

The top, bottoms, and sarong of this bikini are separates.  All three pieces are sized to fit Lara, Lara Petite, Legacy, Legacy Perky, Reborn, Kupra, Kupra Kups, Hourglass, Isis, and Freya.  The detailing and fit is excellent as you’d expect from a huge creator like Lepointe and Bastchild.

A nice feature of the delivery HUD is just unpack the outfits for the bodies you want, instead of unpacking it all and then deleting what you don’t need.

And I found this surprisingly similar bikini from Tori’s Stylez, a far smaller operation that L&B, but the attention to detail is just as good!

For this one, the top and bottoms are one piece and the sarong is separate.  There are sizes to fit Lara, Lara Petite, Legacy, Legacy Perky, Kupra, and Freya.   It comes with a HUD with three color choices for the bikini and wrap.

Glitzz Bodysuit

This was the group gift for members of Glitzz in May.  Glitzz is rather expensive to join at L$300, but they do run free join events occasionally, so keep a look out!

There are sizes to fit Lara, Lara Petite, Legacy, Legacy Perky, Freya, Reborn, Kupra, and Hourglass.  Also included is a choker (not shown) and a HUD to change the choker’s metals.
