I was saving the other half of my ISON gift card for a day when nothing free popped up on the radar, and today’s the day 🙂
This dress is sized for Lara, Hourglass, and Physique. It’s L$275 for a single color, and a fatpack is available if that’s your thing. As I only had L$225 left on the card, it cost me L$50, which is a total bargain for a nice semi-formal dress like this.
A while ago, Ison was being very generous handing out L$500 gift cards to all their members. Considering the group was FREE to join at the time, there was quiet a rush on and it was nearly impossible to get into the region, but I managed it finally and picked up the gift. After trying some demos from MP, I settled on this dress to buy with the first half of my card 🙂
It’s sized for Lara, Freya, Isis, Hourglass, and Physique, and it’s L$275 per color, or you can pick up the fatpack of all twelve colors plus three bonus colors for L$1495.
It’s rare that I’ll do two posts with the same dress, but as this version of the Seeya dress is actually a different group gift, and as I just found these nice boots to match, I thought “Why not?”
The boots are a group gift from ISON. They’re sized for Maitreya, Freya, and Legacy and they come with a thirty color HUD, which is awesome! A little bit of a warning though. ISON is currently giving away a L$500 gift card to group members, and the sim has been consistently full since the New Year. The gift card giveaway finishes today, so you can brave the crowd and try and get in, or wait until tomorrow if you just want the boots 🙂
Again, a little bit late, but this Hallowe’en group gift is still available at Ison, and their group is FREE to join.
This harness style top and skirt are separates and both are sized to fit Lara, Legacy, and Freya. There’s an additional size for the top to fit Lara Petite. The skirt also includes a thirty color HUD for the attached panties, including a “hide” option. And there’s another HUD to hide or show the skirt and top.
The outfit is also available to buy in other colors, and includes a pencil skirt option as well.
In case you’ve been hiding under a rock, Second Life turns 15 this month! Happy Birthday!
I made it into the shopping areas today, and here’s an outfit assembled from some of the FREE gifts various creators have on offer.
Firstly, the simple striped summer mini is from Ison and comes in sizes for Lara, Physique, Hourglass, Freya, and Isis, and includes a three color HUD to let you retexture (the other colors are a solid vivid red, and a pretty green floral pattern).
These sandals are by YS&YS, and there are versions for Lara, Slink, and Belleza feet in the package. The texturing is really nice!
This charm bracelet is by Lapointe & Bastchild. It has an amazing HUD with all twelve signs of the Zodiac in gold and silver, along with the twelve classic birthstones. And if that’s not enough, there are six color selections for the stone beads!
Lastly this dog tag style necklace by Petit Chat comes in male and female versions and also has a HUD to let you select one of four colors for the metal. What a wonderful selection of freebies by some super generous creators!
This is the last day of the Shop & Hop event! If you haven’t been there, you should run over as quickly as possible. There are a number of FREE gifts from some of the best designers in SL just waiting for you, five of which I’m showing you today!
First up are these fab thigh boots. They come in fits for Lara, Hourglass, and Physique, and include a four color HUD with two shades in neutral, and a green and a red. The buckles at the back are well done, and you can see them at the end of the post.
Next up, the tied top comes with fitmesh sizes for Lara, Freya, Isis, Venus, Physique, and Hourglass. It also has a HUD to allow color change of the fabric, laces, and metal grommets, with get this! 35 colors for the fabric, 35 colors for the laces, and 7 metals for the grommets! What an awesome gift!
As a redhead, I tend to use neutral makeup options, and since I got my new mesh head, I’ve been looking around for a neutral lippy similar to what I wore with my system head. The ones that came with the mesh head are not quiet dark enough for my liking. So I was happy to find a lippy in neutrals as a gift at the event. It’s a tiny bit too dark, but it’s far better then the ones I’ve been wearing recently. Included in the pack are three shades in the matte shown here, and a gloss version of each too. Also included is the matching eyeshadow. It comes with appliers for Catwa, LeLutka, and Omega, and also on system tattoo layers.
And what can I say about this hairstyle? It’s a fabulously generous gift, with four different rigged mesh options: the normal hair, a “breeze” version where there is some movement in your hair, a materials enabled version that reflects the light, and one with both the breeze and materials enabled (shown). It has two HUDs one offering solid colors and the other ombrés, with 56 colors each ranging from dark as night brunette to silvery white, and all the colors in beween! That’s 112 colors girls! WOW! Now, having said that, it comes with a hair band with two snowflakes on it, but fortunately, the hairstyle is modify. So with some minimal building skills you can hide the hair band and snowflakes by texturing them 100% transparent, letting you wear the hair all year round instead of just for the holidays. Don’t forget to take a backup if you’re going to try this, just in case you mess it up.
Lastly, the necklace I’m wearing is also one of four gifts on offer from this designer. It has fits for Lara, Slink, and classic avatars, which is really nice. It also has a HUD that allows you to select one of four designs for the middle of the coin, and one of six metal textures.
And finally, here’s an over the shoulder shot so you can see the boot buckles.
Whew! I’m pooped after writing all that! See you tomorrow xoxo
Second Life turned 14 the other day! I’ve only been on here for three years or so, but I do remember about four years in when SL really started making news, I looked. I created an account and looked… for about five minutes and went “how silly! why would anyone waste their time on this?” Too bad I didn’t foresee the potential for improvement back then and stick with it.
As usual, LL is throwing a party, and it’s already started! There are lots of things to see, including a showcase shopping event with some of the best designers currently working. And most of the items at the shopping event are heavily discounted. Also, there are free gifts. Yay!
Here, I’m wearing two of them.
Flame! How did you make it into the picture?! Sneaky kitty.
This lovely little loose cropped tanktop is for Maitreya only, and has a three texture HUD. I really like the olive.
And a cropped hairstyle! Woo I love short hairstyles like this! And it comes with four color packs of six colors each! While the hair is mesh, it’s unrigged so can be repositioned and resized. A very generous gift indeed!
OK, Flame. I know I know. Flame turns 1,000 days old today! Happy 1000th, Flame *huggles*
