Carry on my wayward hunt...

Hello! For the first time in years, I went on a hunt! And I almost finished it. Almost, because some of the items I just couldn't find and since it was late I was about to gauge my eyes out of my head from tiredness. Then came the long task of unpacking, trying on, sorting, and putting together just one outfit to show you. The hunt features over a hundred stores and lasts until may 1st. Since being away from SL for a long time, I'm glad I did that hunt, a vast majority of the stores were unknown to me. Everything you see on the pictures is from the hunt. With very few exceptions : my shape, my hands and feet, my eyelashes and the background. Oh and my eyes, but I'll tell you about them in a minute. As Shayariel was saying on her blog (and darn I just realised I picked the same shoes), the quality of the items offered on that hunt is amazing, and there are things for every taste. I was inspired by the Wallhanging drape from .T O R O., in Morrocan style, and built my whole look around it. With henna on my hands, I could almost smell the scent of mint tea on a hot late afternoon. Look below for the complete credits.

[Start shameless plug] I said I would mention the eyes, they're not out yet (but will be when I'm done procrastinating). They're part of a new series from BananaBanshee, Fly me to the Moon. They'll be available in a few days at the Free*Style store. [End shameless plug]

Hair Fair 2103: Nitty Gritty - The Best Gifts (pt 1)

Hair Fair 2013 is in full swing. The big crowds have dissipated and you can easily navigate the 4 sim wide event. The sims have been split into three parcels, each one is using the non visible attributes of SL so that you cannot see people in the other parcels and the buildings are all phantom so that you can slip in through the walls if the entry to one is crowded.  The hair is fantastic this year, especially mesh styles as they are now so fully integrated into our wardrobes. Today I am going to concentrate on what I thought were some of the best gifts (0 - 1 L) at the fair.  There were lots of gifts this year and the quality varied. Some were very current, while others were older styles with old textures and/or flexis, so there is something there for everyone's taste. I spend a lot of money at Hair Fair every year and see gifts as a chance for me to become acquainted with a designer's work and the good ones are worth the search. 

One of my very favorites is Alison from EMO-tions (Sim 1 - Cloud).  It comes in two colors and includes the hairbase.  It's not mesh nor should it be.  The textures are really great.  My necklace, from HANDverk, is a new release for the final round of Zodiac.  The Zodiac version is available in 5 colors at a discounted price of L$150. They are 100 % original mesh and textures (I watched Daphne make them so I can vouch!) making it a steal for a one of a kind item. 

eep's gift for Hair Fair (Sim 3 - Brickness) is a fantastic mesh style that has optional bows that change color.  This style is mesh and the textures and sculpting is impeccable.  It comes only in green but it's a really fun green that I do not see around a lot.  Just on that point, it's a keeper.  My woodland necklace from Deco is currently available at Collabor88.  Deco is another brand that does all it's own sculpting and textures in-house and I'm fussy, so I like that.  I adored Sn@tch's new Pop Violence Bustiers and you get all colors in the size of your choosing.  Love them, Ivey!

Another fantastic mesh gift is Ann from Due (Sim 2 - Port).  It is a two tone pink style that can be worn with both casual and dressy looks.  I just wanted to note that it is rigged and cannot be resized and I did have to adjust my forehead (losing all my brains) and my ear angle but both were easy fixes.  The lovely jewelry set is a Hair Fair gift from Zibska (also on Sim 2).  Zibb Scaggs' gift was so generous and included a full set of eye shadows in addition to the jewelry.  Thank you!  The top is a hunt gift I recently found at Auxillary for the Fist Pump Hunt and comes in both Sky and Copper (really nice! TY Tyr).  Auxillary also gave a very generous clothing gift at Hair Fair (Sim 4 - Harbour) though I've not gotten around to shooting that yet.  My shorts, though you can barely see them are from Sn@tch and are for the Dark Katz hunt. It includes a fat pack of leopard print mesh shorts in all kinds of colors.  Again, Ivey rocks!

Last on my list for today is Janetta from Miamai (Sim 3 - Brickness) .  Janetta is a nice banded ponytail that is to be worn with a hairbase. It comes in 6 colors (both "normal" and "fun" colors) and includes matching hairbases and a HUD to change the color of the hair bands.  Awesome gift - thank you, Monica!  The Gouchi earrings are a gift from Herve Faenzo (also Sim 3), who had some of my favorite hairs at the event.  The oversized earrings include a hud so that you can change both the metal and stone textures.   My outfit, which shown here does nothing to show how awesome it is is part of a two outfit subscriber gift from Hucci. Ebony Khan has been releasing one sexy mesh item after the next lately and the gift includes special colors of her two newest releases.  A tip about the subscriber - you cannot retrieve previously sent items if you are a new subscriber so my advice is to subscribe and do not leave.  You can get recent gifts for a period of time if you are a current subscriber.

Hair Fair is primarily a fundraiser for Wigs for Kids.  It is not a freebie event and I personally spend generously at the event.  Each designer is required to give at least 15% of the proceeds from each sale to Wigs for Kids, though I saw most designers voluntarily donating higher percentages.  Everything you need to know about the charity, store locations, maps, and so forth can be easily found on the official Hair Fair 2013 website.  I've provided the sim location (above) of each gift to get you started.  Enjoy!

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!

xoxo

Oh My Goodness, It's the Attack of the Eyes!

  I was thinking about how some things just aren't credited or specifically blogged that often.  One thing I thought of was eyes.  I went to the Marketplace and poked around and found two dozen free or cheap eyes to show you. SO MANY!  Some of them I love, some of them I am not particularly fond of, but I thought I should show a bunch in case someone likes the ones I don't.  Anyway, here we go!
