This is a FREE gift for members of the teleporthub.com group. This group costs L$10 to join, and gives you access to a large number of FREE gifts from creators all over the grid.
This is actually quite an old gift that I must have missed when it came out back in February of last year. Never mind, I’ve found it now!
Sizes include Lara, Lara Petite, Legacy, Legacy Perky, Reborn, Kupra, and Kupra Kups. It’s also probably tight enough to be worn with jeans.
Included is a HUD to texture the bottom and top of the suit separately. There are two types of fishnet for the bottom, or you can choose opaque. All three choices are in both black and white. For the top section, you can choose from eight plains and patterns.
The suit also comes with another HUD to choose from a selection of phrases to be displayed on the turtleneck collar, if that’s your thing.
At the Très Chic event, one of the FREE gifts you can pick up are these rather amazing thigh high boots. The sparkles are animated and you can switch them and the materials on and off via the provided HUD. They come sized for Lara X, Reborn, and Legacy.
I kept them, because, you know, they’re shiny! But I didn’t think I’d even wear them with anything, having seen the matching dresses at another event last week and deciding such, shall we say, “sequined extravagance”? was not worth the asking price for what would probably be a one-off wear.
But! Announced in the creator’s group today, the matching silver dress is on sale on her marketplace store for L$90 but only until Satuday (SLT). This is a significant discount from the price that was asked at the event last week. So I bought it 🙂
There are sizes for Lara X, Legacy, Reborn, and Waifu.
Très Chic is celebrating their 5th Anniversary, with the event opening yesterday, and running until June 10th.
I managed to get in today after only a few attempts. Tip: switch on World->Show Friends Only and cam shop to save yourself from lots of lag. There were approximately 50 avatars present when I visited.
There are lots of FREE gifts which you can pick up just by joining the FREE event group.
This dress and cardigan (the creator calls it a jacket, but I’ve never seen a knit jacket!) are separate pieces, and the dress is quite nice on its own or with the cardigan. Both pieces in this gift come in the one color, and there are fits for Lara, Reborn, Legacy, and Legacy Perky.
Outfit: Milli Dress NUDE by Aurica, available at their booth at the Très Chic event
Here’s a FREE outfit for members of SLF&O from a store new to me: ZEX.
The sweater and skirt are separates, with skirt and sweater sizes for Lara, Lara X, Legacy, and Reborn, and additional sweater sizes for Legacy Perky, and Reborn Waifu.
The store group is also FREE to join and there is at least one group gift available.
I’ve mentioned in passing before that I have a greenhouse on one of my parcels at ground level. I’m not much of a green thumb in RL as I live in an apartment, but I sure can be one in SL 🙂
Owning a greenhouse means that I’m always on the lookout for new plants to display there, and today I noticed a FREE group gift from CJ Creations.
This is one of two colors of a very pretty vase of lily of the valley. You can pick these up from their store for FREE with a FREE group join.
While these are beautiful to photograph, the vase and flowers are very small, and weigh in at five land impact. They have a resizer, but I know the land impact will go up if I resize them, and as object limits are tight at my place, I’ve shelved them for the moment. They may eventually find a place in my house at their original small size.
But the real story here is orange trees! While walking out of CJ Creations store, I noticed these orange trees in planters. Before the greenhouse, I had an orangery, which I made in Blender as one of my first 3d modeling projects. Having an orangery calls for orange trees, and back then I found some and made planters for them, and things looked nice. But! How I wish these had been available back then!
The trees come in three different color pots, and you even get a lazy (static) Siamese cat as a bonus (not shown). The orange trees are four land impact and the pack of three (and the cat) are L$249 at the store.
This teddy is FREE for members of SLF&O, which is also FREE to join. “What goes around comes around” as they say. The mesh for this outfit is quite old, I blogged an outfit based on it way back in 2018!
But, come up with a beautiful lace pattern, and a huge HUD with over seventy colors, and everything old is new again!
The teddy is sized for Lara, Legacy, Legacy Perky, Hourglass, Freya, GenX Classic, GenX Curvy, eBody Reborn, and Kupra.
I put a new furry avatar together for an event! A red panda! Note, this one is not made of free stuff, sometimes you gotta pay to get what you want 🙂
Cute, or what?! As with most furry avis, there’s a lot going on here. You generally can’t just buy a complete furry, you have to put all the right pieces together. Be warned, this means you need building skills, for this one, mostly texturing skills.
This look is dictated by the skin pack, which contains a BoM skin and mods for the head and ear combination, and the tail. I’m using Lara in the photos but the skin would work for any BoM enabled mesh body.
You could use human legs for this, but I don’t think you’re thinking “furry” enough without digitigrade legs, so this avi uses some fennec legs. These are only partially BoM, you have to tint the feet, but with a little bit of patience, it’s not too difficult.
I used some hand paws that I bought for my snow leopard a few years ago. These are similar to the legs in that you have to tint the fingers, so I just used the same color for the fingers and feet.
The head is what makes this one come alive though! It’s fully bento and comes with a range of expressions and animations, and is perfect for a fox (or a panda in this case). This is also a different version of the head in the pack that you can easily use for a feline, hence the name “Foxcat”. There are a set of fennec ears included with the head, but again, the skin mod is dictating the build, and the required ears are only L$50, and come with some cute twitch animations too.
The tail is really the only bento fox tail worth buying in SL, and I already owned this too.
With a little trawl through my huge collection of hair, I found a group gift from ages ago that suits this perfectly! Et voila!
There hasn’t been too much free fashion worth blogging lately. I’ve gone gift hunting at most of the major monthly shopping events (including Cosmopolitan’s 12th Anniversary) and have come away rather underwhelmed by clothing gifts, although there have been some nice deco pieces available!
But this dress popped up in one of my feeds and not only is it standout, it’s also for Lara X!
There are two versions, the normal one I’m wearing here, and a sheer version. It comes with a fourteen color HUD that lets you color the dress and the diamonds separately for some outstanding looks.
Sizes are for Lara X, Legacy, Legacy Perky, Waifu, and Reborn.
