Hearts ‘n’ boots

This is another of the FREE gifts available at the SLB17 gift area.  Actually, there are three boxes from this creator, each with this dress and boots combination, just in different colors.  The other two color combinations are not very redhead friendly, but green and purple?  Yep, I’m there 🙂

Both the dress and the boots are sized for Lara, Isis, Venus, Freya, Physique, and Hourglass.  The dress also makes a wonderful little nightdress 🙂


Lara 5.2

Just a quick note, so quick, not even a photo!  I just wanted to mention that Maitreya have released version 5.2 of the Lara mesh body.  There are only two changes, and the first is support for the new Petite Chest add-on from Maitreya, which I suspect won’t affect too many people reading this blog.

But the other change is of interest to nearly everyone that uses this body.  For the first time, Lara has rigged feet, which means you can change the foot size via the slider while editing your shape.

For anyone that’s been around pre-mesh bodies, I’m willing to guess that all of you will have your foot size set to zero in your saved shapes.  I know I did, as the system feet are so horrible, I wanted to hide them as much as possible!

So, with the new Lara, you might have a little chore to do.  Wear each of your shapes and edit it and set the foot size to 25.  This is the default size to match the prior version of Lara’s foot size.  If you don’t do this, your feet will certainly look funny on your existing Lara-sized shoes 🙂

Another FREE gift from the SLB17 gifts area today.  This is a stunning gown, and my photos don’t do it justice.  Unfortunately, like most full mesh gowns, it’s fine for walking and photography, but it’s impossible to dance in.

It’s sized for Lara, Legacy and Legacy Perky, Freya, and Hourglass.  The choker is unrigged and fit me out of the box with just a little vertical adjustment.  The gown’s sparkles are animated and it has a HUD that lets you control lighting and glow, and other materials settings including hiding the sparkles entirely.  Additionally, the HUD allows you to hide the flowered sleeves and change the eyelet color at the front waist of the gown.


Vibsy

Hello sweets, this is another FREE gift available at SLB17!

The dress is sized for Lara only, and comes in a variety of colors including army (shown), black, blue, blush, plum, red, white, and wine.  The belly chain is included, with four versions to choose from: gold (shown), onyx, rose gold, and silver.

There’s a tiny clip at the back of this which is impossible to use alphas to deal with (I’ve magically removed it from the photo below hehe) but it hardly detracts from a wonderful little mini dress.  Run and pick up yours today!


Risque

Here’s a sexy FREE gift for members of the FabFree group.  The Fabulously Free in Second Life group is FREE to join.

The outfit includes the fishnet lingerie as Omega, Maitreya, and Slink appliers.  Also included are the system layers for BoM or classic avatars.  The boots are included and come in both rigged and unrigged versions.  And it all comes in ten different colors, so you can match easily!

Just in case you’ve been hiding under a rock, Second Life’s 17th Birthday celebrations are well and truly underway.  There are lots of things to see and do, and there are lots of birthday gifts for all!

This romper is by Naicisse.  It’s only for Lara, and comes in three shades, Florida (shown), Coral, and Nightshade.

I’m sure I’ll have some more things to show you from the huge pile of gifts I have, once I get through sorting them 🙂


Luciana

Here’s a nice FREE gift for members of teleporthub.com group.  The group is L$10 to join, and gives you access to free gifts grid-wide.

Gloss happens to be right next to Enigma Apparel, where I was the other day.  And, as I’m want to do, I was area searching for the teleporthub gift kiosk at Engima, and found Gloss’s one as well 🙂

The dress is sized for Lara, Freya, Isis, Venus, Hourglass, and Physique, and it nicely gauzey and opaque in all the right places.  And its pattern is dark enough so it suits my hair really well!


Maisie

I’ve an affinity for green, have you noticed?  This dress is a FREE group gift for members of FabFree.

The dress is sized for Lara, Hourglass, Physique, and also comes in a one-size-fits-all fitmesh, plus standard mesh sizing for classic avatars.  There’s a little bit of clipping on the left shoulder strap, but the beautiful pattern is just going to make up for it 🙂

A Midsummer Night’s Dream hunt is on presently.  This is a L$3 hunt, and it runs until 21st of July.  This pretty butterfly outfit is one of the hunt items!

The outfit comes with the wings in scripted, unscripted, and a smaller scripted version.  It includes the butterfly decoration, and the crown.  And the scarf wrap is a one-size-fits-all fitmesh.  The scarf wrap leaves little room for underwear options lol.  Overall, a lovely outfit for butterfly lovers.
