Shop Free*Style Fridays - Look 4

This week's Look from Shop Free*Style is here! 

 I have been off on vacation and doing a bunch of Gacha items, but I took the time to get this post up today, even if it is a bit late.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Please Note

The frame-like pose piece is a gacha item, the itels sadly aren't transferable, so please be aware of this when budgeting for play. I think there is about 12 colours of this prop.

  I have to be quick with this because it's like 4:30am and I am trying not to wake my daughter up, haha. But in all seriousness, I am a really loud type-r. I wake people up with my key bashing. It's bad. But anyway, onto the post!
  I rarely leave my SL home these days but when I went to pick up this VIP gift from MINA Hair I ran into my friend Lilyana and figured that was a sign that I needed to blog this. Check it out!
   More details below.
WORN: 
Hair: MINA, VIP Gift (200L join fee.)
Skin: Cupcakes, lucky board skin (I lightened the brows for this picture.  Several other types of skins available.)
Necklace: Lassitude & Ennui, other colors available also.
Shirt: Sn@tch, includes lots of colors and layers.  It's sheer but I wore two layers to make it not see-through.
Eyes: Insufferable Dastard.

No Good Deed Goes Unpunished

I'm about to throw my computer against the wall.  My fab new computer has great speed and memory but a horrible graphics card and what usually takes me about 20 minutes to do has taken me over 2 hours.  What I don't want to do, though, is make my frustration hinder you from some great items. I could start anew but I'm at that "screw it" point so please forgive and focus on the products.   Baby Monkey Shoes has it's free join weekend from now through Sunday evening.  The group normally costs L$250 to join but the fee is waved only this weekend.  Member benefits include lots of exclusive gifts (the 12 Days of Christmas is HUGE, an extra set of lucky chairs to increase your chance of winning, as well as sometimes significant discounts on new releases.  The shoes I am wearing are a brand new group gift, the xxxxxx shoes, in an exclusive fatpack of bright colors.  These will not be available for sale otherwise.  If you like to own lots of shoes in a wide spectrum of colors, this is a group you will want to stay in.  I know few people in SL as generous as owner, Pixieplumb Flanagan.  The cute linen dress I'm wearing is a lucky chair prize in the mesh clothing section.  I love the linen texture.

You can see from my screenshot of the HUD that there are a ton of options, including toe rings, ankle bracelets and colors.  The other tabs open of a slew of toenail options, skin matching (including exact RGB), resizers and heel sounds (I always turn mine off!).

Finally, Baby Monkey is holding a Spring Photo Contest.  The contest is free to enter and you may submit as many entries as you wish.  The clothing and footwear must be from the store but it does not say the items cannot be free, so this is a great chance for photographers on a low or non-existent budget to challenge themselves and win gift card prizes!  All the details are noted above.

I also wanted to show you the gorgeous new skin from Cupcakes, Creampuff.  Rosemary Galbraith and Mimi Coral had a creampuff skin way back when they merged their brands during the Stone Age, which I loved but I love this one more!  They are beginning to phase out their full perm skin lines and have been creating new, beautiful skins.  There are complimenting lipsticks, eyeshadows and even eyes for the skin.  I have been a fan of Cupcakes forever and am thrilled with they are returning their focus to the consumer line.  Love you two!

Jill at Sakide

Sakide has this mesh suit in two colors for the Jack or Jill hunt out right now.  Me gusta!  It comes in the standard sizes so you know what to expect, fit wise.  Follow the hint that the board gives you and it's super easy to find.

My skin is new from Cupcakes and I love it.  It's not free but there is always some kind of good deal happening there.  My necklace is from Hate Me and Eat Me, a store that has mesh releases pretty regular and is quite underrated, in my opinion.  More details below!

Skin: Cupcakes
Necklace: Hate Me and Eat Me @ Couturier's Docks, not free and Limited quantities available!!
Shirt: DCNY (also includes a dress version)
Hair: Alice Project

Cupcakes, anyone?

I've always been a supporter of Cupcakes from way back before Mimi Coral and Rosemary Galbraith merged their two stores many years ago.  They have recently undergone a complete sim rebuild with new shops and every shop has some kind of opening special.  You need to hit it this weekend or all the items will return to full price.  I adore the new Emilia skin, which is a complete steal at 70 Lindens, and each tone includes oodles of makeup layer options.  The mesh scarf is also a great deal at 50 L for 3 pastel colors: blue, pink and lilac.  Both are original creations which I just love.  Also, I've not done justice to the dress but it's from coldLogic who is having a huge 1 year anniversary sale with this entire store half off through February 10.  Santé!

Skin: Cupcakes: Emilia: new line - limited edition at 70 L

Turning Blonde

It seems like I am wearing a lot of blonde hair lately.  A lot of skins I have been buying or getting for free seem to have nice blonde brows or only come with a blonde brow option so I have been getting lots of blonde hair.  I don't mind it because I like blonde, I am just usually wearing black hair so it's weird for me. xD  Anyway, this post has nothing to do with hair (other than I am wearing an adorable not free hair from Clawtooth) but the skin I am wearing is one I got from the Cupcakes group and has a really nice blonde brow and hair base.  If you don't like pale and blonde though there are other gifts in other tones as well.  My dress is one of a bunch of hunt items at Ricielli for 15L a piece.  Since the items are 15L and not free there is a sign in the store that shows pictures of the items so you know what you will get.  Woo!

OK, see ya soon and have a great day!
Worn:
Skin, Eyes, Tattoo Layer Teeth: Cupcakes, group gift.  Couple of gifts in the notices I am not showing here as well, such as other skins with tattoo makeups, eyes, shapes, etc.  Group is currently free to join.
Dress: Ricielli, 15L hunt item, more items available
Hair: Clawtooth by Clawtooth, not free

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!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Some people hate Valentine's Day but I like it because 1.I like pink and red 2.I like those chalky heart candy things and 3.It gives me an excuse to tell my friends I love them without sounding like a creeper.  I put together this outfit with some fun free, cheap and not free things for you today.  My tights, skin and hair are not free but they are from the Back to Black event which is really important to me.  The event is to promote awareness of mental health issues and you can find facts posted all over the venue as well as inside of purchased items.  My dress is from Cupcakes and is one of many lucky chair prizes.  Love this color!  My stockings are from Sleeping Koala and come in a version with fishnet in the open panels as well.

 I want to show a close-up of the contents of the cute little Valentine's gift from Deviant Girls.  Normally I don't like anything with a brand name on it but "Deviant Girls" is such a cool name I like this anyway. My lipstick kiss is a subscriber gift from Izzie's.  It comes in a few shades of pink and red to match your look.  My little mouth heart candy is from RezIpsa Loc and is only 5L per try in the gacha at the Love is in the Air event at the Cupcakes sim.  My hair is from Mina at Back to Black and comes with the matching hair bases as well.

My boots are not free or from Back to Black, lol, but they are a new release from A-Bomb and I adore this store so you get to see them anyway. :P

Finally, I want to say happy Valentine's day to everyone.  I firmly believe we have some of the best people as our readers and I adore you all!  We should all celebrate Valentine's day by spoiling ourselves with yummy treats in RL as well as SL!  Om nom nom.  You can grab this berries and cream set (with rez and wear options as well as a cute cookie I haven't shown) on the lucky board at Circa.  Live it up!

A Diner Dash

I never really liked computer "games" other than like Word Munchers in Kindergarten until I played Diner Dash randomly.  I thought it was fun and so when I saw an article on Yahoo! about free internet games I checked it out.  I saw Second Life was one of the top ten and I was super interested in it since I loved the thought of dressing up my own little avatar "doll."  Well, the rest, as they say, is history.  Today I have my own little diner dame look which hopefully can give you a cheap way to dress up your little pixel dolly!

Dress and Eyes: Cupcakes, lucky chair and lucky dip prizes.  SO MANY PRIZES to win.
