On the 4th day of Christmas….

UPDATE: Board is back in the store but just for members…

Adiva gave to me!

A swingy rrrrrrrrrrred dress!

Yes, this is gift day four at Adiva and this is what we got!  Beautiful little swingy dress just right for kicking up your heels!  The advent calendar has changed though and it’s no longer up in the store.  To receive the gifts you have to be a group member($250L to join) and you’ll get them each day!  Well worth the cost ladies so just do it.

Malt at LeLook

  

Malt has opened a new store on the LeLook sim and you get the gift!  This very cute $1L outfit also includes a sculpted bolero but since I can’t get the dang thing to fit around my chest I’m going without it here.  You can pick up this only through this weekend and ONLY at the store at LeLook.  Hurry on down!

Alienbear Beautiful

 

Since sl has been a little bratty lately I’m slow on getting the new jewelry from Alienbear posted for you but here it is.  It’s really hard to get the true beauty of the pieces to show up in my pictures since i’m a pretty lousy photographer but trust me, they sparkle! 

The first set is the Azucena.  I had to de-neko to get all the pieces in the shot but it was well worth it.  I’m just sad that I can’t wear the earrings with my neko ears.  I guess that will have to wait until the sl viewer has as many attachment points as Emerald does.  Let’s just say if I use the ear 2 attach points the earrings  show up somewhere below the waist when seen with the sl viewer..not good.  But trust me, the pieces from Alienbear are the highest quality you’ll find in all of Secondlife.

 

The necklace in the third picture is the new Alienbear release “Queen Poseiva”.  At just $400L it’s more than worth a trip to the store!  Also pictured are a free set of earrings that you can pick up while your there called “AlienbearXAgnes”.  Simple, elegant, AND FREE!  Can’t beat that deal!  If you’ve never been to this wonderful designers shop you should take some time to look around.  The whole store is filled with jewelry goodness and there is something for everyone.

Adiva Goodies

I was just getting ready to log off and go to bed when the message came through in group chat that Annejoy Paine, the wonderful owner of Adiva, had just put out an advent calendar with a new freebie every day until Christmas. Todays gift is a gorgeous jeans, sweater and jacket outfit.  You have to join the group and wear the tag to get the gifts every day.  There is a fee to join but it’s well worth it considering the perks.  This gifted designer is always generous with gifts, hunts, a weekly reduced gown, and a rewards vendor.

A friend took me to Thalia’s a few months ago and I went nuts and spent all the cash I had that night.  If you’re looking for something sexy this is THE place to go!  Not only has she brought back some Christmas outfits for $50L there is also one on the MM boards(hurry, it gets filled fast!) and a lucky Santa with yet another great outfit.  The clothing is wonderful and the prices won’t drive ya to bankruptcy!  In addition there is a red tag sale going on!  Every red tagged item is just $55L per color. Can’t beat that deal!

I got one of the beautiful CSRs to model her favorite outfit. A big thank you to Chelse Cooperstone for taking the time to help me out.  Isn’t she sexy in this little number?

Below is a pic of the rest of the Christmas collection.  Surely there’s something here to make your Santa go crazy!

Christmas Freebies

A friend of mine passed me this landmark and after checking this little store out I’m happy to be letting everyone else know about it.   If you’re a little low on Lindens or just want some really nice decorations tp on over to Mr. Scrooge’s Holiday Shop.  All the items in this cute little shop are FREE!  As usual with creators that are this generous with their time and talent please leave a little something in their tip jar.  It’s not free to upload textures and takes time and love to create.  Here’s a few of the items you can pick up.

I Love Christmas!!!!!!!!!!!

Despite Christmas becoming too commercialized I still love it so wanted to show you a few things from a couple of my favorite stores.

Brat is a wonderful place that usually has houses, stores and even some playground equipment(all of which I love!) and they recently opened their Christmas store.  Such cute stuff!  It’s creative and well textured and did I mention cute? Oh yeah, I did but it’s worth saying twice.  They also have a lucky santa and MM board!  The pictures show the current prizes.  I highly recommend this store for some cozy Christmas seating or that perfect little cottage!

Next store is New Trails.  Everyone had their pumpkins around at Halloween for good reason and now they’ve moved on to Christmas! Yay!  The creations here have a unique look and style that is to die for!  I’m hoping to save up enough to get the color change tree for my little skating rink setup but for now i’ve settled for two smaller potted trees..Istill love them!  Go take a look and find your favorites!  It’s also a great sim to just hang around and relax. Very well done.

Last on my must visit list(for now) is MB Creationz.  I wish I could have put in pictures of all their Christmas decor but I’d run out of room.  Again, LOVE THIS PLACE!!!!  How cute are those cats?  Don’t forget to pick up the group gift(pictured below) while your there.  It’s perfect in my little Christmas spot!

I’d be failing a great designer if I didn’t mention her sale going on right now.  Simone has turned FIVE!  That’s like 50 in RL years!  To celebrate Simone is having a color a day sale on both the Style Starts Here and Simone sims.  Today is red day so I’ve got to run and pick up all the red I couldn’t afford last week!  No idea what tomorrows color is but for goodness sake check!  Everything that is the color of the day is 75L on the ssh sim and 150L on Simone!   Not going to admit how much I’ve spent there the last few weeks but……Go just go. Go now!  FYI: The outfit i’m wearing in the picture of the MB Gift is Santa’s Helper.   Can be found near the dance floor on the SSH Sim.

New stuff and freebies at Poetic Eyes and Kusshon

I’m back!  Been gone way too long and don’t really have an excuse other than I’ve been busy with other things.  Life has calmed down a bit so I’m back to the blog!

What better way to start off than some freebies?!

First is the new freebie from Poetic eyes.  Owner Lano Ling has made yet another set of beauties!  I just can’t say enough about these eyes.  Simply the best on the grid.  In celebration of the release of the new Fairy Tail eyes is the Christmas Fairy Eye free in the store right now.  All the sets come in the light and dark versions for the good and evil in you.  Also right outside the door of the store is a pack of eyes for players under 30 days old.

Next is the Christmas freebie from Kusshon.  I love the furniture from this place and am just dying to see what they cook up for christmas!  There are 3 wreaths in the store that are free on a rotating basis so keep going back to get all 3!

That’s all for now folks!  Have a great weekend!
