FTLO Scavenger Hunt is ONNN!!!

And it is cute!! Here's some of the gifties I wanted to show you.



Worn:

Hair: Bliensen + MaiTai ~ Blooming Simplicity (FTLO Scanvenger Hunt, available til 18th August),
Bikini: [Sleeping Koala] ~ Fruiti Bikinis (FTLO Scanvenger Hunt),
Mouth Flower: *Epic* ~ (FTLO Scanvenger Hunt),

Skin: :GP: Airhead.

(FYI: surf-board is not a part of the hunt, just a prop I used for the photo).



Worn here:

Bikini: Waffle! ~ Polka Dot Bikini (FTLO Scavenger Hunt),
Hair: *RezIpsa Loc ~ Helen, Bzz Bzz (Hair fair dollarbie, dunno if its still available for L$1, sorry),
Skin: Imabee ~ Stigma - Rory (previous hunt giftie),
Eye-makeup: elegant epiphany ~ queen of nothing make-up (available for L$8 on marketplace here),

Roller Skates: ANA_Mations ~ LoTopRollers (these are not free, but come with fabulous custom-made animations and are completely texture-change),
Pose: With love & squalor.

FYI this hunt is really unique in that it comes as close to a true scavenger hunt as you can possibly get in SL. Instead of hopping from store to store searching for a hunt item, grabbing the giftie then tping onto the next store, for this hunt the gift (and lm and clue to next store) is hidden amongst regular sale items in the stores, but that item is priced at L$1 so not only do you get the super cute hunt gift, but you ALSO get the reduced item too, all for L$1. I do recommend this hunt as there are lots of really good stores in it, and it is FUN to do. The hunt starts at Pestle & Twig, and there is a hunt group you can join too for help if you get stuck!

There are tons more cute stuff in this hunt that I could show you, and maybe I will when I get more of it done, so consider this a taster :)


Happy Hunting!!

This pretty fuschia satin blouse is the latest Vinyl Cafe Addicts group gift.



Find it instore.




The posemaker Dare is sadly going out of business. It's a real shame because the poses are fantastic.




The designer is selling fatpacks of poses for just 10 lindens AND this hot bodysuit from Ohmai is included in some of the packs in a variety of colors.

Holiday In the Sun

I am feeling the bright colors showing up right now! Orange and teal seem to be popping up everywhere and I ain't complaining! "Hey Sileny! Ain't isn't a real word!" "Oh yeah? Fetch me a dictionary." *Grabs dictionary and slaps grammar police on the head* Teehee!

I have to include a close up shot so you can see the nails! Candy Nail never fails to impress me with all of their tiny details!

Worn:
Dress: Jack Spoon @ Marketplace, 15L
Skin: Mother Goose's, Poupee Hunt gift (1 of 2 available. More info. on the Poupee Hunt HERE.)

Eyes: Rozena, Poupee Hunt gift
Nails: Candy Nail, group gift
Purse: Ohmai, The Seasons Hunt gift
Hair: Me-I, group gift in store (group is closing soon so hurry!)
Poses: Status. These poses are AWESOME! The poses are made by bloggers who know exactly what a pose needs to be. They have poses made for nails, for big hips, etc. They aren't free but they are worth it.
*Note about the skirt on the dress: It's a sculpted skirt and like all sculpted skirts you should be prepared to have a skirt shape, a straight-hipped AO or a hip alpha. This is with all close-fitting sculpted skirts, I just thought it would be good to share a reminder for folks.

The Beach is That Way!!!

So I just had to share these adorkable poses I found during The Seasons Hunt. The poses can be found in the shark at Olive Juice. I'm modeling one of the poses, but there are three poses for guys, and three poses for girls total. Here is a picture of the poses at Olive Juice.

Here is location to Olive Juice!

Summer White

In the blistering heat of hot summer days, crisp white is often the freshest color palette of choice.
I paired this free white ruffle dress with some other nice free gifties and sales items that fit my no-fuss, summery mood (see the Styling Credits below for deets). -- A quick word about this pose: this year has seen many fine stores shutter their doors, and sadly, creator Chance Greatrex is now closing DARE, which means that you can scoopie these highly editorial, "look at me, I'm fashionista" poses for a mere $1L each (or $10L a fatpack; I pretty much grabbed the whole store).

A/C is everyone's bff love + fashionista kisses to all!

Hair Fair '11: Last Call on Goodies!

Sadly, Hair Fair '11 ends today.  It is one of my favorite events and I rarely have enough time online durring the summer to spend as much time there as I want.  Luckily the new releases will all move to the main stores, but the gifties might not travel with them.  That means this might be your last chance to pick up some of these awesome styles.  I have covered the first 2 sims in previous posts and I am only showing a small sample here of the gifts on Sims 3 & 4.  Both sims are chocked full of gifts so get over there and I just looked on the map and they are not too full.  

You might see a lot of people today wearing bandanas instead of hair.  Today is Bandana Day and this is to show solidarity and support for the event's charity, Wigs for Kids.  Wigs for Kids provides real hair replacement for children who have lost their hair due to medical conditions.  There are some gorgeous bandanas this year from RP to silly to glam.  They are reasonably priced and only available at the fair.  I've purchased several and I hang on to them... they are particularly handy to have at high lag events to keep my own lag to a minimum.  If you want to see photos of them my suggestion is to visit Sasy Scarborough's blog, Sasypants.  She has provided amazing coverage of the event and was one of the key organizers.  The entire Hair Fair '11 team gets my admiration for their awesome build, hard work and dedication to a worthy cause!  Now hurry up and get over there!

Summer-chic

So its July and there are a ton of new, cute hunts that have started with loads of cute gifties to be had, as well as some new group/ subscribo gifties.



I'm simply loving this fun, cute dress from Circus Noir. This is their gift for the Greedy Hunt, which Tesh already covered some other gifties from here.

I'm absolutely in love with tattoos in Sl right now, I love the versatility of them, being able to change tattoos in SL is awesome, something I kinda wish you could do in RL (I have a couple in RL and have obssessed for yrs over whether to add another or not, lol). So I was always going to love actchios' latest subscribo gift, the realm of the gods leg tattoo. Completing the look is urban republics' tattoo gift for the Cupcake War Hunt, and dollarbie flats from chuculet.

Hair: shag - sweet treat (L$75 for project themeory, dunno how much longer this will be available at this price),
Skin: Glam Affair - Layla (My Second Wardrobe discounted item - this is a new sales event along the lines of The Dressing Room),
Chest tat: Urban Repulic (Cupcake War Hunt gift, this hunt started today and runs til July 31st - thank you!),
Leg tat: actchio - realm of the gods (subscribo gift),
Shoes: chuculet - ballet flats (dollarbie).


Oh, and if you like the cupboard in the background, that is la'licious' Cupcake War Hunt gift.

Hope you are all having a great summer!

Skin...baggies...and more!!

I came across some great finds the past couple of days. The first is the Lavie Skins group gift. There is a small group fee, but well worth it because they have group skins every month.


The second find is the complete outfit I'm wearing from MJ Clubwear. It comes with shoes, baggies, and the shirt. No group needed, just grab the freebie.

The third find is from HoD (Haus of Darcy). The Waffle Fox Hunt starts on July 15th, and HoD has made the Celtic Swirl Dimples exclusively for the Waffle Fox Hunt. Here is a better picture than mine of the exclusive item. Celtic Swirl Dimples

Attack of the Baby Pigs

Hi again everyone, I got two items for you, and both are unisex and totally cute.

The first item is the free roller skates from justB, they come in different sizes and come with skates with roller skating AO and without. Seriously I cruised around the sim looking for a place to take the picture with the animations on!! love it... (I'm a dork, what can I say). You can get the skates at the store, or in the group notices.

The second item is this very cool summer sweats from Connors. They are only available on the lucky board inside the store, and won't be sold in the store. Check out the baby pig (Johnny Jr) along for the ride!! LOL. I only waited like 10 minutes to get the sweats, the board moves fast!

It's free to join both groups, Connors is one of my favorite stores, I think I own every pair of shorts in the store. bestB I checked out yesterday, I also saw a dollarbie dress for the ladies, and most of the clothes are unisex. Go check em out!!

Sweat Suit: Connors - Lucky Board (limited)
Skates: justB - freebie

Hair Fair Gift Tour: Chapter 2 + other Finds

There is no shortage of great finds across the grid.  Hair Fair '11 runs for a few more days.  This post will cover gifts I found on Sim 2 of the Fair.  There were so many gifts on this sim and it would take an entire page to show them so I decided to show you variety vs. quantity.  Most of the clothes and accessories I am showing are also awesome deals you can find whilst grid hopping.

Xplosion Hair has an uber generous gift in the fatpack of Lilli.  It includes two hair sizes.  The hair is adorned with cute barettes and other little decorations. The headband is texture change. There is no resizer in the hair but it is modifiable and all that was required for my fit was some slight stretching on the small size to find the right fit.  It was a great compliment to Sassy's Saucy Lass outfit from the Skull & Bones Hunt.  

I am totally digging Maria, the Alice Project gift for Hair Fair. It comes in 2 options, one with fun colors and another with "normal" colors.  Both hairs are scripted to change color as well as resize so you don't have a folder with a million hairs. The tank is part of a large gift at ChiChickie at Hair Fair.  I have to go on one of my squee rants for a minute to talk about DooDad's reopening on Oh My Stars.  I've long been a follower of Paisley Mizin, both at her old store, Sock Shop and at DooDads.  She has combined the store and there are a whole bunch of dollarbies and other great steals.  Paisley makes her own things, all original and bright as well as a bit strange.  Gotta haves for me!

Nikita Fride's Carnival hair is a bit of departure from my usual frumpy look (I've been called Bea Arthur and Florence Henderson!) but I lovvvve it.  The tat layer hairbase with it's creepy face and the hair is a partial mohawk with dreads and flips; this one will be a keeper for sure.  It looks great with Fishy Strawberry's exclusive items at the new Fashionably Late venue.

I collect hair to wear with kimonos and such so I loved loved EMO-tions' Moon hair, which is also a gift at Hair Fair.

Mina has a darling poofy ponytail style called Antje as it's gift at the Fair.  Not a fat pack or anything fancy but a lovely auburn color that I like.  It was a great compliment to the awesome July dollarbie at JustB who just moved to the new Chic sim.  Darling DooDads has yummy pink poodle for your mouth as another great dollarbie.

You can get slurls to all every booth at Hair Fair by visiting their blog.  Hair Fair's charity this year is Wigs for Kids, which provides hair replacement for children with medical conditions that cause hair loss.   All items contribute at least 15% of their proceeds to this worthy cause, though many stores are donating more than the minimum.  Don't miss it!
