Dilly Dolls goes Vintage ala Shagadelic!

Between blogging Vintage Fair and trying to find time to work on the new Free*Style store I essentially have no SLife.  I had originally hoped to have the store up and running by late July but I jumped right into covering Vintage Fair literally the evening that Hair Fair ended so now I'm hoping the store can be up and running in September.  I will do an update about it when I can go into detail, but I can say we have some great designers confirmed to participate.

Vintage Fair is 3 sims of awesome.  The builds was designed by Cory Edo of Trompe Loeil and they are mesh.  Also one of the fair sponsors, she has created 72 unique storefronts for the event and they are phantom enabled so if you can't get past the mob at the door just walk on in thru the window (\o/). They are also for sale at her event store. The Fair covers "antique" (pre-20's) to the 80's and with the plethora of events going on at the moment you can actually get in!  It runs through the 29th of this month so there is lots of time to shop.  Oriana Kuhr of Dilly Dolls has made some adorable block print mesh dresses for the fair and the grey version is a gift for visitors.  It comes in  Standard Sizing and includes a HUD so that you can change color tones on both the dress and belt. My boots are also from Dilly Dolls and are in the Midnight Mania at the main store.  Make sure to go hit that first!  For all things Vintage please visit Chic Management's official site.  All stores and their slurls are listed as well information about the amazing Flickr competition with over $L 115,000 in cash and prizes of for grabs!

Happy Independence Day!

Hi all!  Just a quick post so I can get outside and enjoy the holiday!  I wanted to let you know about several great bargains you can find that are American themed and exclusive for the holiday.  I planned on a longer post but in the interest of time I am going to tell you about a few that I think are not to be missed.  Let's begin with the items in the photos.  Two of my favorite stores, Pididdle and Boom, are offering great gifts; Pididdle has a limited edition "Fireworks" set that includes the Hyperlip makeup in both a teeth and no-teeth version and fantastic nails in 2 sizes.  Boom has a special edition of the Ellio bikini.  It has all clothing layers as well as modifiable prim ties and tan line tattoo layers.  Chop Zuey has group gifts for both men and women.  Women get a Home of the Free set of earrings and men get a awesome ring which are adorned with the American Flag.  I personally love Chop Zuey's male jewelry and it works great when resized.  Chop Zuey is a pay to join group but it has weekly gifts for members and so I've recouped my join cost many times over.  Sanu has a special version of her Candy Corn popsicle for only 1 L.  There are 2 versions, one of normies and another for Petites.  It's in a gift box not far from the lucky chair.  I had to pick up Earthstones specially colored version of Bikini Beads.  I have other colors of these and love them.  They are not free but about 100 L less than the other versions!

BARGAIN TIP:  As I noted above I did not get to show all the things I wanted but there are a few that are outstanding deals from really great folks! Cupcakes is having a great sale today only: Special mesh items and bikinis in a special section are only 10 - 25 L as well as all older clothing in red, white or blue is only 10 L.  There are some great items there.   Also the new Emma line of skin has one version marked down to 50 L.  You will find it in all skin tones.  It's a great face and includes a bare version as well as several makeup options, making this a runaway steal.  I've adored Cupcakes for years and this line has to be one of my favorites.  One skin is free!  The trick is you have to find it.  I will give you a hint because I searched all over for it.  It's not boxed like a hunt item and it's right in there amongst the other Emma skins.  Just think a bit outside of the box and you will find it!

Good day! Sorry I've not been posting a lot here but I sure haven't been slacking. In addition to my own blog and other projects, I've been doing a lot of background work for Free*Style, including finding the right place for our new store!  That has been accomplished; and we are starting over from scratch so finding great items will be my next task.  In addition to free items we are including newer items that will be 25 L or less.  I will do an update post on the specifics very soon.  There are great bargains to find all over the grid and I wanted to share of few of my favorites.

Second Life is celebrating it's 9th Birthday and though Linden Labs did not officially sponsor the event this year (hmmmm) a group of lovely people took on the task.  KittyCats has a darling area that includes gifts and a competition for the best KittyCats display.  Do check them out and vote for your favorite.  The gifts are scattered around the area.  Right at the landing point KittyCats is offering a completely free limited edition kitty for SLB.  It comes with a free week of food and other cute decorations.   A.D.D. Andel has a free SLB version of it's kitty bed and it comes in 3 sizes.  Funky*Junk offers a totally adorable cat tree complete with ladder, floating butterflies and a swing.  It's just precious.

Somehow I stumbled upon a cute hunt being sponsored by Rockberry and Twilythula.  The hunt is free and at both stores.  Rockberry has a bunch of skins in the hunt and a huge set of lovely eyes.  Twilythula has lots of goodies, from skins to clothing.  I find that exclusive store hunts can be very charming.  Jane is having a great clearance on all her mesh clothes that predate Standard Sizing and I snagged several fatpacks.  Free demos are available.  I have adjusted my shape for an XS in Standard Sizing and I had no problem getting the two smaller sizes to fit....it all depended on the item.
