Oktoberfest

Sabine, the wonderful owner of Eden, is from Germany, and this year she wanted to do an Oktoberfest event, so who are we to say no? 🙂

I had a really old dirndl in my wardrobe, but I thought it was time for an update, so I found this little lederhosen style romper on marketplace!

There are fits for Lara, Freya, Isis, Venus, eBody, Ocacin, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Curvy, Fine, and classic mesh sizes.  After I photographed this yesterday, I got a pair of white knee socks to go with it, which is even more in line with what you should be wearing to drink beer and eat pretzels, at least in Baveria 🙂


Sleek

I’ve been added a few dresses to my cheetah’s wardrobe, after all, I can’t run around as a fierce warrior all the time!

This little dress is only L$50 on marketplace, and comes with UV and AO maps so you can do mods for it.  It only fits Fitted Busty Torso, so please be careful and know what you’re buying!

The rigging is pretty nice, and there’s even just enough room under it to wear a pair of Wretch Kemono Panties with no clipping!  Yay!

 


Scandalize hallowe’en tops

Hi sweets, here are a couple of pics of the Hallowe’en group gift from Scandalize.  There are four tops in the pack, and these are my favorite two.

The other two tops are orange on black, and black on orange, typical Hallowe’en non-friendly redhead colors 🙂

Each of the tops is on the same mesh as four separate items (why not use a HUD?)  The sizes for the top are Lara, Freya, Isis, Hourglass, and a one-size-fits-all for classic avatars.  Scandalize is FREE to join, and why wouldn’t you join with dozens of past group gifts available?


Spooky things afoot

Hello all you goblins and ghouls out there preparing for Hallowe’en!  I ran and looked at a couple of stores for the Hunt on Haunted Hill today, and this is the first box I opened!  The hunt items are L$1 each, and the hunt runs until October the 31st (of course!)

This is an absolutely fabulous coat that comes in sizes for Lara (a normal size and a large size), Freya, Venus, Physique, Hourglass, Curvy, Fine, Ocacin, Voluptuous, and classic large, medium, and small.

There is subtle use of materials so you get an occasional highlight of an otherwise dark coat, as you can see below.  The lacing is all model, and is very nicely done.  And the skull-y jester embroidery on the back is just great!

Included is skeleton top and leggings on both system layers and Omega appliers to wear underneath.


Misa

Here’s a really nice MM board win from Glutz.  It’s difficult to find free kemono stuff, particularly things that are made for Fitted Torso, but when this was announced in group chat, I ran to the store to make sure I grabbed it.  Not only that, later that night I had to spruik it to make sure we got the board to lock lol

Not only does this fit the busty torso, but there are fits for the fitted petite version, v-tech, Lara, Hourglass, Physique (normal and petite), and Freya as well!

The bikiki top and bottoms are separates, and there is an included HUD so you can select from one of eight colors, in either latex or soft fabric, and color the top and bottoms separately if you wish.  What a fantastic gift!

 


Bumblebee again

Here’s the second set of lucky letter prizes I managed to snag at Bumblebee the other day!  The boards are fast letter turnover, but are group only.  The good news is that Bumblebee’s group is FREE to join!

The top comes in fits for Lara, Freya, Isis, Physique, Hourglass, and a fitmesh for classic avatars.  Included is a HUD that lets you change the colors of the buttons and straps.  Being a loose top, the fit is really nice, even better than the tank top I showed you yesterday.  The only minor gripe I have is the straps contour to your bod, making them look strange from the front.  Other than that, a lovely piece of original mesh.

And the skirt?  Oh my, this is a really nice piece of work.  Fits are the same as the top, but this time the creator has nailed the fit.  The zipper and stocking tops really deserve to be seen in-world, particularly the zipper, which is a full model, not a texture, and looks super realistic.

Again, it comes with a HUD to let you control the color of the stocking tops, the zipper strip, and the metal of the zipper.

If you run to the store, there is a fifth lucky letter board.  While I was there is had a pair of nice shorts on it, but they were… light pink.  And well, if you’ve been reading along, you know this redhead’s aversion, right? 🙂


Bumblebee

Finding new creators is always fun and today I want to show you some wins off a couple of lucky letter boards I found at Bumblebee, a store new to me.  The boards are group only, but Bumblebee’s group is FREE to join!

Both the leggings and the top come in fitmesh sizes for Lara, Freya, Isis, Venus, Physique, Hourglass, and a one-size-fits-all for classic avatars.  Both come with a basic HUD to change the color of the straps, laces, and eyelets on the top, and the elastic on the leggings.

The fits, especially on the leggings, are excellent, and all this appears to be original mesh, which is really nice to see.  You should go and check the store out!  And oh, there are five LL boards, and they’re on really short timers, so you shouldn’t have to wait too long 🙂


Nina and…

As promised yesterday, here’s the third FREE group gift I picked up while at Mangula the other day, this one for members of teleporthub.com.

But before I show you that in full, it was Aeon’s and my fifth wedding anniversary the other day!  Five years of marriage in SL is a long time, or so I’m told.  I wanted to get us something special to mark a pretty big milestone.  In real life, eternity rings are usually given after a seriously long marriage, but who knows if SL will still be around in 45 more years 🙂

I hunted around and the only ring I could find that actually looked like what my concept of an eternity ring should look like (a plain platinum band encircled all the way around by diamonds), I found at Earthstones as of all things the men’s half of an engagement set.

Here you can see our wedding ring that Aeon made for our first wedding anniversary to the right, and the eternity ring to the left.  I was seriously concerned that a men’s ring wouldn’t size down to fit Slink and Maitreya hands (I favor Slink, while Aeon likes Lara).  So I contacted the owner of Earthstones who assured me that it would, and yay, it did!

Please note we got two of these, one each.  You cannot buy the separate rings on marketplace, you can only buy the His and Hers set.  You must visit the in-world store to be able to buy each ring individually, so take heed if you’re in a similar situation to us!

Also, you’re getting a way too close up view of the top for the day with that photo, so let’s cam back… 🙂

This is a really nice fitting bralette and the lace work is superb.  Just like the gifts I showed you yesterday, it’s sized for Lara, Curvy, Freya, Hourglass, and this time, Isis as well.  Wear it under a loose-fitting shirt or jacket, it’s certainly well fitted enough to work if you search something out that’s a good fit, or just wear it by itself over jeans!

With those serious closeups, I’ll give you a full rundown of everything I’m wearing too, which I don’t usually bother with as you can easily find a previous post like this that lists everything.  So, here’s the latest list, which hasn’t changed since the last time I did this:

  • Top: Nina Set Bralette by Mangula
  • Wedding ring: Our Ring by Aeon (item not for sale)
  • Eternity ring: Bridal – Eternity Wedding Rings – Platinum Engagement Bento by Earthstones
  • Body: Lara by Maitreya
  • Face: Jennifer by GA.EG
  • Hands: Slink Dynamic
  • Hair: Chahong by Monso
  • Skin: Adore Peach by Lumae
  • Eyes: Deep Sky Mesh Eyes – Spring Moss by Mayfly
  • Nailpolish: Sea Deep by MumuHimi Clothing (item unavailable)
  • Lipstick: Yesterday by Stunner Originals

Mangula gifts

I was at Mangula looking for this skirt, which is a FREE group gift for Fab Free members, and right next to it were two more FREE gifts for groups I’m in, including this blouse for members of Maitreya Gifts, Sales & News.  I’ll show you the other gift tomorrow 🙂

The top is dark enough red for me to wear, and it works pretty well with this grey denim skirt!  Both pieces are in sizes for Lara, Curvy, Freya, and Hourglass.

The skirt has some cute embroidered butterflies on the pockets, but if butterflies are not your thing, you can switch them off with the HUD included with the skirt.


Sweet September

It seems I’m coming across a lot of floral prints at the moment!  I love them, and I certainly love this one which is a FREE group gift from BlondeQueen!  BlondeQueen’s group is FREE to join.

The dress comes in sizes for Lara, Freya, Isis, Venus, Hourglass, and Physique.
