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.
This LBD is a prior group gift from Smesh. Their group is FREE to join, and they have a number of group gifts available.
There are sizes for Lara, Legacy, Venus, Freya, Isis, Physique, Hourglass, eBody Curvy, Tonic Fine, Tonic Curvy, and Dragon (I’m assuming the Jomo Dragon). The texturing is very nice, which is why I wanted to show it to you. Unfortunately, at least on the Lara version, the skirt is so tight that you may get a little clipping at the back of the thighs that alpha cuts might have problems with. What’s to lose? It’s FREE 🙂
My friend Kat pointed out a new-to-me store called Patty K.C. Fashion. Of course she did this by turning up to an event an this stunning set of lingerie from the store!
I had to go and grab it. This set is just L$30 and is just to the right of the desk as you enter the store. It consists of the top, skirt, and panties, and all pieces are sized for Lara, Lara Petite, Altamura, Freya, Isis, eBody Curvy, Hourglass, Legacy, Legacy Perky, Tonic Fine, Tonic Curvy, Tonic Minimizer (whew!)
The lingerie comes with a HUD that allows you to color various faces on the pieces. The HUD has ten solid colors and four lace colors, which I think are the standout!
The store also has a huge range of group gifts available once your join their group at a cost of L$10.
Blackbird Lace carries past group gifts, and the group is FREE to join, so here’s a gift from July of last year that I somehow missed.
The strappy panty and skirt are separates and are sized to fit Lara, Erika, Reborn, Kupra, GENX Classic, and GENX Curvy. In addition of those sizes, the top also comes in Lara Petite, and both GENX Classic and Curvy Dainty. Also included is a set of heels that I am choosing not to wear as I refuse to wear platforms over about an inch tall (and these are over 6 inches!), sized for the bodies named previously.
Finally, there is a six color HUD that lets you color the top, top wings, skirt, panty, and heels separately. This is a very nice gift, and as I mentioned, the store carries past group gifts, so what are you waiting for?!?
It’s the last day of this round of the Sense Event today, and if you haven’t been over and grabbed the gifts for their 6th anniversary, you have only a few hours left to do so!
I think this full outfit from Finale Couture is the pick of the gifts. The outfit includes pants, top, boots, and the necklace and bangle. The top and pants are fitted for Lara, Freya, Isis, Venus, Physique, and Hourglass. Both the necklace and the bangle come un-rigged but do have resizer scripts.
The boots are left and right fits for Maitreya, Belleza, and Slink.
The attention to detail with the texturing is what makes this though, right down to the tartan trim at the bottom of the cargo pants that match perfectly with the boots!
I didn’t do any Advent calendars this year… at least not until today when a friend recommended I run to Le’La and grab all twenty four Advent gifts for FREE before they disappear. You don’t even need to join a group!
This is the first outfit I opened, and I’m so glad I listened and grabbed these!
The outfit consists of the top, panties, body/leg wraps (I love how these go right up to my waist!), and heels. The heels are sized for Lara, Slink, Legacy, Kupra, and Belleza. All the other pieces are sized for Lara, Freya, Hourglass, Physique, Kupra, and Kupra Bimbo.
The outfit features a thirty (!) color HUD, which lets you select colors for all pieces separately, with the addition of the belt on the top. This is a wonderful gift! Run and get yours!
Outfit: Mihika Outfit by Le’La (available in their Advent Calendar)
“If you’re an owner of the Maitreya Lara body, and you’ve been reading the news, what Maitreya are calling the “next generation” of the Lara body is now available: Lara X.
You can use the redelivery button in your Lara 5.3 HUD to have the body delivered to you for free. If you own the Petite add-on, you will have to get a redelivery by visiting Maitreya’s main store, also for free.
I’m not going to detail all the changes, you can read them on the Maitreya website if you’re interested.
My initial impression when I first tried on the body was that unless I do extensive shape editing, I won’t be rushing to incorporate it in an outfit soon.
Don’t get me wrong, Lara X has some really nice features, like vastly improved shoulder joints (at the expense of dropping my shoulders by at least 3cm in the name of a “smoother” look). And due to the wrists being slimmed (actually, the entire arm is slimmed), and the ankles also being slimmed (but my thighs and hips got way bigger?!), my SLink hands and feet no longer fit.”
I wrote the above at the end of November, just after Lara X came out, but I didn’t post it. I was having trouble finding the time to do the comparison photos I wanted to post with the comment. And Lara X being just slightly different in height offset from Lara made it difficult enough to get good photos without a lot of fiddling that it made me think it wasn’t worth it.
Since then, I’ve edited a modified shape for Lara X, mostly in an attempt to deal with the above mentioned “way bigger” observation. Looking through the freebies today, I saw the first outfit that made me want to run and make an outfit for the new body.
This dress is Mytra by Madame Noir, a FREE group gift for members, and the group is also FREE to join. There are sizes for Lara X, Legacy, and Reborn. The dress also comes with a three color HUD that also allows you to switch materials on or off.
