PXL

Warning!! My pixel boobies ahead!! Still here? Awesome! Hart Larsson of PXL Creations fame has given us a sneak peek of his upcoming line "Grace Fair" in the form of this stunning pick reward.



The gorgeous flower tattoo is part of the skin, hence my nekkidness :P It also has a blonde hair base painted on, something I'm loving from all the SL skinners who are incorporating it into their skins. This amazing skin will be available till Friday. You need to join the PXL subscriber, and also have PXL Creations in your picks. Once that's done, head to the main store to claim your gift. Thank you Hart, Grace really is beautiful. Ash Out.

Retro Chic from Haute Style

One of my best gf's in SL, Elliandra Parx, sends me an IM last night telling me that I can take over as the designated E at Forda Fairlane's Haute Style.  I'm like, OK and took my sweet time getting there. Once I arrived, however, I could not leave until I got these beautiful outfits which are new in the Lucky Chair at Haute Style.  The time went quickly as the letter turns over every 10 minutes and Ashia amused us with a pregnant AO, given to her by a fellow stalker, and one of the hilarious women there gave us a 2 headed baby.  I'm always amazed at how much fun you can have striking up conversation while you stalk chairs. 

The dress is called Marana.  I love the shine on the dotted fabric.  I paired it with jewelry from Deco (Orchid Zenokova is an amazing jewerly creator) and shoes (love the texture change options) from Dilly Dolls.  Neither are free but both places frequently have fantastic sales.
I absolutely love the pantsuit, Skyler.  I don't know if it's named after my friend Skyler John, but it reminds me of her, as she is so sophistocated and stylish.  I end up throwing on dresses a lot so this is a great change for me and is seducing me to expand my pantsuit folder (and tip my inventory completely over the edge). 

Forda also give's a free outfit every month.  Hit the subscriber while you are there to get reminders.  Maybe even buy something!  You won't be disappointed as her clothing is so well made and precise.  Thank you Forda for your generosity!

No Hair for the Hair Designer

HEY! It's me, Helena. Helena Stringer. I'm relatively new here. This is my 6th post. I'm just going to talk a bit more about what I do here on Free*Style, and what I do in sl. You may not care, so those of you that don't, just zippity on down to the bottom. For those of you who asked inworld, I'll explain some things here.

Today I wear no hair in my post. This may shock some of you girls, but when you get back up off the floor I'll let you know why.

I happen to design hair in sl. That's what I do, among designing many other things. That's not why I'm here on Free*Style, to pimp out my wears. I'm here cause I've been a fan for a long time, and someone took a chance on my abilities to make a post, make it fun and exciting. Also the fact I'm a cheap ass, and love my deals. Some things don't change.

But just because I'm here, doesn't mean I'm going to change my business ethics. I've been asked alot recently by Free*Style blog fans in sl(there is a comment box here you know!) why I don't credit everything I wear. Well that's because I wear my own items that I have made, along with all my finds. And for the fact that I'm first and foremost a Hair designer, I ALWAYS wear my own hair. I do this for business reason, not that I don't enjoy other hair. I just find it really bad taste to wear my hair designer tag, and have someone want what I got on, and it not be mine. Plus I'm proud of my designs.

So when I don't credit something, it's simply because I made it. You guys are more then free to ask about any of that stuff in the Comments of the posts. I just don't want you guys thinking I'm turning Free*Style into my own personal shopping channel to my store. This will be the last time I mention any of this. From now on my posts will link back to this one at the bottom, so any new person can find out the reasons why those items are not credited.

I really just don't want to be bald all the time, you know?

*Spatulas people off the floor*

(Look at that primwork! Crazy!)

I've had Alpha and her many alt enjoy my works for so long, I had AlterEgoTrip give me the landmark to Alpha's store, Alpha Tribe(fitting for all those alts!).

Now this girl, she is what NPIRL(not possible in real life) is all about. The imagination that goes into each piece is beyond a level most designers have achieved.



Each work is an art piece, walkable art.

I had to do a close up cause this just struck me. This was built for a custom instillation at the new sim Poetik. It's nifty cause you can wear it an pose with all the manikins there.

Both of these have male versions as well, so guys, you can have some fun too!

She has some sets for sale, but the cool thing is for most of them you can just grab the skin for L$1.

They have a futuristic tribal quality, which I feel goes with the store name so well.

Each skin set has it's own unique style.

There are even a few with Male version included.

So come visit Alpha Tribe to get these wonderful free and dollar items. To get the Avatar in the 3rd pic tp Here. It's there with all the manikins.

Midnight Mania And A Little Something Called Harry

Midnight Mania is relatively new in SL but is proving to be be terribly popular among store owners and shoppers alike. I have found so many new stores because of their MM board (read spent 40,000L in the last week alone oy)



The amazing corset piercing pictured came from a tip in our chatbox from a mysterious anon, as did the skin. Both are breathtaking, and I was so stoked with my new piercing, I kidnapped a wicked pair of boots while I was at Brimstone Creations that went perfectly with an outfit I was about to photo (more on that in a bit). The skin, oh wow, I love the eyeshadow. Doux Petite Dahl is a new to me store, and they have some breathtaking skins at stupidly affordable prices as well as some yummy clothes. I didn't have time to look round properly but I will be back!! (Sounded kinda ominous huh:P)



This landed in my inv a couple of days ago, and resulted in much squeeing in Dare monroes IM box. Apparently the outfit actually begun it's SL as just a skirt, and then as is often the case morphed into something else entirely! As with all outfits from Dare Designs, you get 657988780o options, pieces and ways to wear it. The boots are the ones I mentioned from Brimstone Creations, not free, but they were so perfect I had to have them. Check out my skin dammit! Meet Harry, the gorgeously freckled beautifully scarred new skin from Imagen. Only available at the Harold location, and totes not free. I do have it on good authority that sometime in the not too distant future there could possibly be something free for juuuuu! Join the subscribo for any upcoming info, or let me torture you!!



This next cutey comes from Eden's favie Baby Monkey. It's another Midnight Mania, I also won some shoes on the lucky chair while I was there, but haven't had a chance to unpack em. Stay tuned for those in a later post.



And last but by no means least, the only non MM outfit!! This comes from Glam Couture. I hadn't been there in ages, and was actually looking for an outfit I saw on Welma's blog, but ended up with this instead. Pretty smexy no? The sunnies are part of an outfit from Lunas Boutique, not free, but there was a sale on last I heard. Don't quote me, I'm running so behind on everything, if I died tomorrow, I probably wouldn'nt turn up to my funeral till next year XD. Ash Out.

MinaJunk turned to Gold

I've been waiting for what seems like forever for MinaJunk's creator Mina Jun to come out with something new. This time she's released 5 flower-themed, complete avatar sets (as well as the skins sold on their own) and they are just gorgeous! Check out my post here, for the full review.

The bonus for all you freebie hunters out there is two in store gifts for all of us! This 'Couple's Pose' sofa, which is a yummy cherry red and comes with 7 (SEVEN!) base cushion colors (so in simple talk, you get seven awesome chairs) and a fantastic AO. 

Head on down to the Japan sim to experience the beauty of the new line as well as the goodies!

17 is a lucky number

In the past two days, two friends have alerted me to this ultra cute dress. (ty Nil and V! :D) I take it as a sign I should be posting it, like, NAO. It's adorable! Especially the beautiful headdress that comes with it. Ah, lovely. Now, I guess this dress has been around for a while, although one of the friends that alerted me didn't come up with any bloggings of it. How is this possible?! I dunno... Soooo, if you have seen it before, maybe it's time to pull it out for spring. And the rest of us can 'horray' for the new cuteness. @ No. 17

Avaliable for $1L until the end of March @ Sinuous Shapes.

And a male shape too:

The Sweet Scent Of Spring

Celebrating the change of seasons is something Ravenlynn of LVS fame has become known for. I loved the pirate event she had last year, and her Halloween happenings are always incredible. This spring is no exception.



I present to you the "Spring Fling" event. Running for 3 days, all the outfits shown here are dollarbies you can pick up round the sim. Each outfit has 6 colours to choose from. Above is Spring Fling Cutie in Red.



I love her dollie dresses, and the bright colours make me happy!! Above is Dollie in Tears. The yummy shoes were a subscribe gift from Sweeter Than candy.



Isn't this babydoll the sweetest, shown here in Orange, in honor of our Elvish colleague who is obsessed with all things Orange.



This is probably the most "traditional" spring dress of the ones shown. It comes with a bonnet too, with a choice of 4 hair colours, perfect for the Easter parade!! The dollarbies are really easy to find, head outside the store and look for massive flower pots, you'll find the outfits contained within. The hard part? deciding which colours to get :P Ash Out.

Under the Sea

I have always felt that the mercritters of sl don't get enough play. They don't have enough places to go, tho it has gotten better since the time I first rezzed. There isn't enough items that they can start with, that aren't a fortune.

Well today I'm going to show you what I found on my search!

Ruina Kessel of House of Ruin let my use her new store build for these pics. The new store isn't open yet(neener neener), but in the meantime you can go and join her subscribo and grab some great freebies.

What does she have there, at this magical undersea store? EYES! Some people collect skins, some shoes, some just anything in a certain colour. Me, I collect eyes. I don't even want to tell you how much I have spent on eyes. So the above pic, you get those. But not just those, the whole darn set! and there are 2 other sets too.

This was my fav find of all. When I saw the ad I was sort of iffy. Didn't know how great those primmed parts would work. Well this thing is great, with the ao, it just swishes so nicely. It's also GREEN! The starfish are also really rad, if your not wanting your mer nips all out there for the mer boys to oggle.

The Green set is the only reason why I'm wearing pink again. It totally make me happy enough to forget I'm in this horrid colour. At least I look like I'm going to eat the next diver I see. The redeeming part of this is I like the scale transition to human skin. nifty feature. There is a blue Merman Tail sitting with this one too, so get you man all dressed up, mer role play, ooooo.

I'm in love with the tail on the left. Sad thing is I had already taken all these great photos, to find out that the owner is changing locations. So you'll have to wait a wee bit to get this one.

The goldfish one I thought I'd play up, she looks like she just won a fight with a Betta.

Love

This Staff
Makes me want to make earrings to match(scribbles on project list).

Found this Snarfblat in a mini hunt, It's one of those ongoing type things. The owner of the parcel just wants you to have a bit of fun. Little treasures all about. There is a poster up near the shop to find out what you have to do.

I loved the sparkliness of this tail. I normally don't go for that sort of stuff, but I'm a mercritter now, so sparkles are a must.

The eyes look like they are from the depths of the deepest hole at the bottom of the ocean. Perfect for getting your mer on.

Now it can't be all fun and games. There are still predators in the water.

(The Helena Version of the Jaws theme songs)

These I got when I first found Grendel's. I had to purchase them. But they are now all only L$1. So you lucky people get them for almost nothing.

They have a really unique ao. Sort of slithery.

They come with everything, skin, eyes, shape, ao plus fishy bits. I'm wearing my own shape tho.

This was suppose to be red. NOT PINK! or salmon, whatever. It's so not red. But there are lost of colours and guy versions too. Same as the shark, there is one for the dudes.
