Walking it off

After a major Christmas food overload a nice walk in the snow was needed, well at least in SL it was.

I wanted to show a few of the nice things that were given out as group gifts or just seasonal freebies.

SF designs gave us this stylish winter coat in their subscribo. A free fur hat and gloves are also available in store. If you want a well made coat check out SF Designs. Swafette Firefly knows how to put a coat together IMO. Male and Female versions of the coat are included.

To keep our pixel ears warm on all the beautiful snowy sims that are around at the moment, a cute hat is always needed. This hat/hair is one of the instore 'Happy Christmas' gifts from Analog Dog. The hat is texture change. I opted for the 'Red Tweed' to match the coat. Queue Marlowe is the Queen of curly hair textures in SL so if you want soft bouncy curls TP your way to Analog Dog. There are two other free styles also available.

Lastly my patchwork boots which are an instore freebie at Lassitude and Ennui. These are beautifully made boots and come with the alpha foot hider for the V2 viewers.

So if your wallet is looking slightly empty after the Xmas indulgences why not log in and pick up a few freebies.

Asia is wearing:

• Coat- elysium coat - special edition SF Design (subscribo gift)
• Boots-Cupcake Patchwork Boots-lassitude & ennui
• Hair/Hat-washu soft black-Analog Dog

The freebies were still available at the time of writing this post.

Thank you to the SL designers who have given out so many nice free items this year.

Ideal Ison

I have been definitely shopping less than I usually do. Time to change that!

I want to show you two new jackets I picked up yesterday and today.

I finally got to the Vintage Fair. While there I picked up the 'One Button Blazer' from Ison. This is a fabulous jacket both in texture and design. The Vintage Fair is over now. I expect the jacket will be available at Ison stores soon.

I wore the figure hugging cropped pants from Fishy Strawberry. The slim line of the pants worked out great with the fitted jacket. The jacket would also work over a dress or wear with jeans/leather pants for a more edgy look. This is a staple item for your wardrobe Ladies.

The shoes are from G.Field and of course they are amazingly well made (as is everything from that store)

The Angel necklace is from ByKay and was a KittyCat Advent Calendar gift. The gift is only available for one day (and this not the day, sorry) The earrings were also an Advent Calendar gift, this time from Orage Creations.

My second jacket purchase from Ison is the 'Belted Fur Vest' (for Project Themory). This reminded me of something a posh lady would wear while hanging out at some exclusive ski resort. This is a steal at 75L$. I picked it up in black too.

I teamed it with the wedge boots from WOot They are available for 99L$ at the XYRoom event.

 

A pair of cream cropped pants from DCNY and a blouse from Jane and I was ready to be a posh bird in a posh ski resort, actually it was the Kittycat Winter Wonderland Sim, but shuhhh if you don't tell...neither will I.

Works hard for the money

 

I am happy to see the end of Halloween (black overload) So a more colourful post today.

Beautiful Dirty Rich have their November group gift out, the 'Sweet Autumn' dress. The gift includes much more than the dress and hat worn, there are socks and boots included too. The dress comes with a shawl collar but I preferred it without.

I added the Ginger belt in black by Nyte'n'Day and the Platform Stiletto's by JustB.

A simple but cute outfit I think.

..said the spider to the fly

Just in case you have been living in a very deep secluded cave for the last month and didn't know, Halloween is HERE. Bet you're really surprised now huh?

As there has been such great Halloween goodies available it seems kind of ungrateful/lazy not to blog just a few.

I jumped on the vampire theme (who among us doesn't have a vampire 'thing' at the moment?  I know I DO).

I am wearing the Elvira dress by Sassy, this time in black. This is perfect for a sexy vampire look.  Lots of cleavage and even more thigh.

The skin is the Halloween group gift from Glam Affair, it's extremely pale but beautiful. I added a deeper red lipstick layer from Baiastice, a teeth tattoo from Tuli and the free fangs from ni.Ju.
  

The Angelina earrings and necklace are the Virtual Impressions Halloween group gift. This is also a pay to join group but it's worth it as they give out regular group gifts.

The demonic eyes are from BND. I got them from the Marketplace. The pack includes five colours  and costs L$20.

I kept the hair sleek and simple. It's the Amacci hair base2 in Jet Black and a hair knot at the nape of the neck (you can't actually see it in the pics, but take my word..it's there)

The super long nails are from Lovesoul. They are colour change via a menu and are my favorite nails at the moment.

Last but not least are my spider shoes. They are the Halloween group gift from Perfect10 (fee to join this group). The spider is great, although he did bite me Ouchie!

52 Weeks of Colour-Ecru!

Another colour with multiple interpretations.  My inventory search for 'ecru' yielded a big fat zero, I didn't fair much better on the Marketplace.

I widened my search to beige/cream/biscuit, dug deep into my inventory and came up with my contribution to this weeks colour challenge (although I think the colour came out more 'champagne' than ecru *shrugs :)

Using a subscribo gift from L&S SWORDS, an old FLF pair of boots from Slink, part of a gown (old group gift) from Meghindo's. Finishing off with this weeks FLF jewellery from League
,
The pics were taken in the totally amazing freebie from Behaviour Body the 'Photoroom Prop' the curtains, floor and table are texture change and there are 12 pose options, this is a great gift!

Behaviour Body Photoroom Prop (and my kittycat sneaked into the shot too)

Mid writing of this post I went shopping (attention span of a fruit-fly) and found this hair/hat combo from Dura, after making grabby hands at it for a few minutes it was mine.

This is a collaboration between Dura and Arai it's very unique and stylish IMO. The hat is colour change and one option is an ecru-eque colour so decided to include it in this weeks colour challenge post.

Ruby Slippers

I am loving this dress, the texture is so good you can almost feel the satin against your skin and the colour is just perfect.

The detail around the collar is flawless.It's one of the nicest cheongsam I have seen and it's one of the instore group gifts at +Lika Ruby+

 The second dress can be worn as a short dress or by adding the prim attachment a more elegant look (not shown)

I picked up the latest group gift from Ncore, elegant, stylish and dare I say a  whole lot smexy heels. As always there is a feature packed hud to change the skin colour, metal colour, pedicure and even the option to change the foot to match your favorite stockings/hose.

There are lots of goodies to buy including the amazing Chiffon Safari Skirt by The Secret Store (L$50) and the truly beautiful Acid & Mala' Human Eyes' in Moss and Straw. The pack includes different combinations,constricted and dilated pupil, lighter and darker iris and eye prims (not worn in pics) (L$50)

Frugalista Finery

Just the thing to brighten a cold  Monday in January.  'The Fashion Garret' is a new discount shop with more goodies for the frugalistas of SL, read more here.

Of course I tp'd right over and couldn't resist the 'emy' skin from al vulo. I am super impressed with this skin, it is very soft looking, the bright blue liner balances well with the quite neutral lip colour. Emy has a lovely blush to her cheeks too.

I scooped up the 'Sona' Shirt from Zenith also. It looks very summery, in a soft baby pink with ruffles and frills at the chest and hem, very feminine! 

 My curly 'do' is a group gift from .:EMO-tions:.  It comes in just the one colour, head over to .:EMO-tions:.and hit the group joiner.


Asia is wearing:

• Shirt-'Sona'-Zenith@The Fashion Garret-50$L

• Hair-* TERESA * /brown-.:EMO-tions: (Group Gift)
• Earrings-Syrinx Earring-Silq'waggi  (Freebie, not sure if they are still available) 

Brrrr it's so cold here, I need some sunshine.

It's all about the details.

More pretty eye colours for a self confessed SL makeup addict.

Scrub your faces clean and take a stroll over to  *Les Petits Details* hit the group joiner and look for the little gifties on the floor. The eyeshadow group gift has five tattoo shadows in. My favorite being the black below. There are a couple of  other gifts in the same place.

There is also a sweet little pink bag to carry your apple, lipstick and for some reason a vinyl record in.

I tried tonight to use the SL viewer and Kirsten's viewer ( I neeeeed multiple tattoo layers) crashed spectacularly on both, guess I will have to wait for Firestorm viewer.

Little Black Dress

A staple in any girls wardrobe, dress it up, dress it down, or wear as is. Two little black dressed seemed to have made their way into my virtual wardrobe today.

This is Magoa's last contribution to the Super Bargain Saturday Event and wow did they go out on a high note, this dress is just perfect with it's military styling but if you remove the shoulder prims (as I have done in the pic) the dress is just a chic little black number.

The dress was still available as of four hours ago, run on over and see if you can still grab it.

 

The second LBD is a farewell group gift from AnneJoy Paine at aDIVA (paid group). A more elegant dress with it's one shoulder and draping bodice. Check group notice for the dress.

I will miss AnneJoy's designs SL is losing a very talented lady, Good Luck Annejoy.

Asia is also wearing:

• Necklace-Afrika-YS&YS
• Hair- Rhoda ~ Black Coal -Amacci
• Skin-Ice Queen-Acorn-Slush 2-Curio

Run Ladies, 50% off sale at aDIVA and sale at Amacci.

I have my LBD now just missing the handsome man to take me out somewhere fabulous in SL.

Flirty Shirty

A new month brings group gifts and yet more free items flooding into my already severely over weight inventory.

I don't keep all the group gifts and freebs I find, I may incorporate parts of an item or simply delete it, this is not always a reflection of the quality (but shushhhh sometimes it is) but that I know I wont wear it with any regularity.

For example January's group gift from Baiastice the Meredict shirt-bluette and Milva skirt I will keep. I may not wear it as the complete outfit but I like the sweater it would look great with jeans and the skirt would work with a shirt or jacket.

If you wear the outfit 'as is' you run the risk of meeting your thousand twin sisters while out shopping and we don't want that do we?

The Doppelganger Inc Tux dress I probably wont keep, it's a nice dress but too white if that makes any sense (probably not) and it just doesn't work on Asia, I would have worn it as a shirt but there is the bare belly thing going on if you don't wear the pants layer and I don't like that.

All in all it's a nice free item if you like the crisp white dress look or the crisp white belly showing shirt look. So Thank you to Baiastice and Doppleganger.

I teamed it with a belt from Callie Cline and some free tights from Latte, I don't know if these are still available but worth checking to see if they are. 

Asia is wearing: (Pic 1)

• Baiastice January group gift
• Hair- URC519 hair-January Group Gift-Boon
