Pinkily Dinkily Doo

I have some feminine goodies for you today! This crop top from Ribbon is only 7L! There is also a black version for sale. I am happy the 90s revival thing is happening because crop tops are fun. The undies are from Grixdale and are free with other colors in the pack too. Who doesn't love polka dots?

Here is a close up of the free eyeshadow from M.O.C.K. There is a group join fee and you may say "Sileny! Why would I pay a group join fee for one eyeshadow!?" Well my friend, don't fret. There are many gifts as is usual with this group. Even in the store the items for sale are really inexpensive!

I also want to share this full face tattoo from Les Petits Details. It's free! I love a tattoo makeup that can work with any skin and this store is super good about that.

I want to mention some of the not free items here as well. My skin is a newer release from JeSyLiLo. I love the nose!! How cute is it!? I want to pinch it. My hair is from Mina at Hair Fair. You can wear it with or without the hair base tattoo and the bangs are optional. Of course I am wearing it with the bangs though because Betty bangs are my all time fave! My necklace is from Lolapop! and I have worn it before but you now get to see Cthulhu in all his glory.

Shirt: *RibboN*Lace short T(white), 7L

Some late Independance Day Gifties!

So sorry that this post is late, I've been busy the last few days in RL and this is something I really wanted to get up before Independence Day, but still these gifts are way cute and still available, so hope you enjoy!

In honour of the special day, Glam Affair sent a gorgeous skin to their update group. It costs' L$30 to join the group, which really is absolutely nothing wen you think about it! This sexy skin has a beautiful blue eyeshadow and deep glossy red lips with loads of pout to boot! To show off this skin in all its glory, I'm wearing Boom's 4th July bikini giftie. As with any Boom item this is a beautifully designed and well crafted item which could be worn together, or simply match the bikini top with your favourite pair of capri's for a more casual, day-time look, any time of the year. Aranel Ah assures me this giftie will be available in store til Saturday so theres' still time to grab it!



Here's a close-up of that luscious skin:



Finally, miel sent out this beautiful bracelet to their subscribo-group this week, which is a perfect match to their FLF necklace from last week. Like the necklace, the beads on the bracelet are customisable.



Worn:

Hair: elikatira (new release, not free),
Eyes: Ibanez (previous MM giftie),
Skin: Glam Affair (inworld group giftie),

Hair Fair Gift Tour: Chapter 1

Greetings from Hair Fair!!! Hair Fair is all about new hair and new hair only!  This year is really special as all hair are donation items, which means that at least 15% of proceeds will benefit Wigs For Kids, though I saw many designers donating up to 50% of the purchase price to charity.  Wigs For Kids has been the charity cause for a few years now and it's purpose is to provide hair replacement for children who have lost their own hair due to chemotherapy, alopecia, burns and other medical conditions.  The official website for Hair Fair '11 is an invaluable resource as it has slurls for all designers and as well as an exhaustive list of suggestions to make the trip more enjoyable and a lot less laggy.   The sims were designed and built this year by the Hair Fair Committee, a dedicated group of folks who have been doing this for years, so they know what does and doesn't work.  It's a beach theme (think The Deck ;) and if you stay on the path you will eventually hit every booth at the fair.

My Free*Style posts are going to show some of my favorite gifts from Hair Fair '11. It isn't an exhaustive showing of everything there; I wasn't crazy about all the gifts and Hair Fair is not about gifts...it's about charity and new hair.  In spite of that there are at least 60 gifts at Hair Fair that are free or 1 L, which is a WOW that deserves a big thank you to the generosity of so many talented designers. Lots more on Sim 1 to find and worth grabbing!

I totally dug this hair gift from Gauze. Gauze has 2 fun, funky styles in their gift as well as this separate hair ornament. Toast Bard of fashionably dead gave this great purple leopard body suit as well as the necklace and earrings AND sunglasses of awesomeness.  I paired them with some denim gauchos from Mocha that are on sale this week. I've been eyeballing these for awhile and was amazed when they weren't already in my inventory and forgotten (but we won't talk about my inventory).

LeLutka had my top gift hairstyle this year.  It's called Pinned and is a wonderful fatpack that shows roots that are so popular this year. It reminds me some of a tamed down version of Rykiel, that is hard to remove from my head.  The barrette is not color change but if you have some texturing talent the hair is mod so you can make changes as needed to this accessory.  The skirt outfit is from pr!tty who also has some great hair feather headbands and accessories, which didn't work with this hair but are awesome!  The cuffs and collar are part of a very large gift from !DERP.

I love great looking retro hair and Pocket Mirrors has an awesome cut in Melinda.  It comes in two colors.  I usually am a blonde in SL but for some reason I seem to prefer dark colors when it comes to retro styles.  The lovely hair bow is a gift from Donna Flora.  It is impeccably textured and detailed with lovely filigree gold detail wrapping the pearls. It's truly a sensational little piece.

Details:  Look at the HF blog for slurls for the stores with HF gifts but you might want to wander as there are so many great ones.

Cute and Silly Things

I know it's been a little while but I have some cute and silly free things to show you today. I don't know if you have heard of Priss, it's an adorable and very affordable little shop. The headband and top are group gifts in the subscribo. Just join and check history (numbers 1 and 6).

The silly thing I have here is the tongue. It's a current group gift from December, which is free to join (search for MandyMandy McMillan in the groups section of search, or join instore). Just check notices after joining. There's two versions of this tongue, one that I'm using below, and another one with the snails in your mouth.

Pink and Such

Just some good free finds in a pink mix for Bubblegum Weekends. :) I got this adorable top by Apatia Hammerer for the Purveyors of Accidental Love group and it made me feel so happy about staying in the group even though it had been inactive for ten thousand years. xD I think it looks fun and summery with the pink shorts from The Sea Hole.

I wanted to do a close up of the Curio gift skin from the Truth District opening. I usually only wear very pale or very dark skins but I'll go tan for a face as sweet as this! My double bubble colored hair is the latest in store group gift from Action.

I was wearing these shoes for the post but then they didn't end up in the first picture. Oh well! Here is a picture anyway!

Worn:

Purrfect Jill

The adorable shop, Jill is back and there is a fantastic new gift out to celebrate.



This pretty ruffled top is available with a couple of options and comes with a few different pearl necklaces (short with bow shown here).



I've shown it with the latest dollarbie from Fifi & Fleur, this pretty red indian inspired skirt.



Purrfect 10 has a new VIP group gift out, these 'picnic' stilettos. It's 500 L to join the group but there are tons of other gifts available so it's well worth it.


They will also have these sharp looking grey and red stilettos out for just 75 L for Lazy Sunday. Don't miss them!



And these aren't free but I had to show them because they are so damned amazing, the latest release from Purrfect 10, the Persephone boot, out in a bunch of colors.
