To Market To Market Find Some Cheap Stuff

Happy Saturday everyone! I thought I'd kick off this post with a confession. I'm currently rolling with ABOUT $137 in linden balance and just like regular mortals, I'm broke for a bit. But really what is SLife without a bit of weekend shopping? NOTHING that's what! I decided to raid MP for something fun and fresh and I'm delighted to share with you that if you're savvy, it will NOT disapoint.

First of all I'm still rocking the free head from CATWA - Freya. I actually quite like it on me and am gonna stay here a bit until I decide I'm not. If you didn't pick it up yet wtf are you doing?

Just grab it, you might want it later.

Top and pants today are each 1 linden. The top is from Blueberry - so you know it's nicely made. Both pieces have huds with TONS of options for textures and honestly even if they didn't, wtf do you expect for 1L ? The top has a long version (worn) and a short one which is more like a bra.The pants have many textures also and fit really well. I get cranky when stuff doesn't quite FIT the body. Both these pieces fit Belleza, SLINK or Maitreya bods.

I popped over to FREE DOVE and grabbed the mani and pedi sets that AlaskaMetro has out there. Seriously - it's a TON of nail polish options for free. They work with either Maitreya or Omega so yes that's everybody. FREE. Did I say Free? Just join the Free Dove group.

These shoes are also a great pick up, 1L on MP plus the pedicure for free for AlaskaMetro. The shoes come with a HUD that allows many texture change options on the shoes in a variety of colors and patterns. Very cute.

My hair today is Rezology also a 1L item on MP.

Now - I feel like this was an amazing shopping trip. 4L spent. Got new top, shoes, hair and jeans. Winning.

RUN! Limited Time Gifts!

  There is a new event where each month some designers (awesome designers!) put out Midnight Madness boards for ONE DAY ONLY.  The boards require 175-500 clicks, depending on the store.  Right now many of them are broken (sad!) so no one has entered them yet.  Check them out to make sure to get the items before they fill up because we all know it won't take long!  Some stores have just set the items out for free because of the broken boards so you can just grab those either way. Find the Information, slurls, and item previews HERE.

  If you see one of the designers at the store while you're there make sure to say thanks! :)  Oh and the MM board rules can be found HERE.

MORE GROUP GIFTS AND HAIR FAIR!

Freestyle always promote charity events in SL and one of my favorites is just happening, Hair Fair 2015.

So be aware of a bunch of posts about hair!


Style Card

Free Summer.

Wassup y'all. It's been a minute, eh? Just dropping in to show you a nearly-free look (everything except the Ikon eyes + the $30L gatcha necklace; more on that below), styled with some recent free cuties yours for the taking, courtesy of recent hunts (fair warning: some are ending very soon!) + 1 of SL's most iconic events, Hair Fair 2013 (hopefully y'all have been catching our own Eden Knoller's excellent coverage of it here on Free*Style). 
If you've been reading Eden's posts, you'll already know that the driving point behind Hair Fair 2013 is to actually spend your $L to assist the well-worthy charity this event is helping, Wigs for Kids (i.e., freebies aren't really the point). That being said, some designers have generously donated some notably nice things for the event, some of which were used to style my casual look today: a free 2-tone hair gift by Due, some free texture-change chandelier earrings + a free slouchy tank by AUX; I styled this all matchy-matchy with a  free owl shoulder bag that you can grab at a lucky boards tote bags bonanza, offering a total of 5 free bags in all. (Btw the Clawtooth Hair Fair 2013 dollarbie here is also very much worth grabbing, easily 1 of the cutest gifts at the event; buy the little brown paper bag on the dresser for $1L).

A word about this skin: if you don't already know the Essences store, skinner Inka Mexicola's skins are on my personal go-to list for her knowing, intelligentsia faces that exude a certain je ne sais quoi. This extremely pretty skin I'm wearing here is yours for free if you simply click the Essences subscribo (note the heavy eyeliner-pen makeup)! I paired this look with some free mesh lashes, a free ghettofab "Gamer" necklace, some free pink lemonade (I grabbed mine at Food Fair 2013, which kicks off today) + a supercasual free summery flip-flops standing pose prop. -- I'm also obsessed with this anime dollfaced cell phone lariat necklace that I scoopied for $30L at The Chapter Four (NOTE: the July round ends today; don't miss the exquisitely modern, wood & glass "Rare" gatcha home by Ionic for a crazy $85L price).

Hope everyone's enjoying some cold, slushy drinks, quality time with the waves + these long, lazie days. Free Summer love + fashionista kisses to all!
