A casual look for you today in muted berry tones, to help complement this freakin' fabby inky berry-lipstained "Emma" free skin that's been plowing across the blogs (including here at Free*Style), for both its striking intelligentsia face + sultry makeup that's come to characterize the Essences line.
This free gamine braided hair gift by Truth was originally sent out in December (it's still available via subscribo; see the Styling Credits below for instructions), but it's so enduringly lovely that I just couldn't resist incorporating it into today's gifties look. And since you seemingly can't have an avi in SL (male or female) without owning at least 1 fedora, this one's $1L, mesh + even sports some distinctive white pinstripes.For the more experienced hunters out there, the Grumble SIM is hosting an event that this city girl can appreciate: a hunt with zero hints + imbued with a dry sense of humor, where you're rummaging around in dark subway tunnels to actually seek out the vermin, in the form of white rats (yes, rats!) -- each containing an assortment of fun prizes for both men & women. I was hoping to find the sky blue mustached necklace on chunky pearls prize (never found it, bah) but still felt lucky to find the black & yellow heart ring (that you can see in both the 1st & last photos here) instead. For those less ambitious, there's a gangload of lucky chairs + camping (remember camping?) in the main subway station too. Why not park your avi to get these red suede lucky chair boots + let your more ambitious friends scout out the prize locations? Hey, there are worse ways to fritter away an afternoon.
Speaking of frittering, there's nothing like a li'l virtual home decor styling when you're procrastinating RL work. Hehe.
This is basically a jumble of unrelated things that I threw together; worth noting are these free bowtied ribboned platform heels by G Field (normally for wearing, not decoration; luhs that the contoured heels are nice + high). This $1L wooden shelving unit was 1 of my fave finds on the Grumble subway rat hunt; it's modern yet simple, perfect for showing off some of your nicer tchotchkes, like these free stackable paper boxes in pretty pastel watercolors from BananaN.Hope everyone's new year has kicked off to an unexpectedly fortuitous start! Unexpected finds love + fashionista kisses to all!
xoxo
