Spirit of the Season

Hello Pretties, Has been waaaay too long since the last post, but have been so busy with new studio. Be sure to come by M2C Photography and pick up Globe 212 in the POE hunt. The Peace on Earth grid-wide hunt is a fine example of how people from all over the world can come together in the spirit of unity and giving that seems to be almost universal during the holiday season. I for one am truly thankful to all the talented and generous vendors that are participating and also to the lovely ladies of Mode Rage for putting all this together, which was no small feat!! Thanks.

That being said.. on to the goodness..!!! First stop Insolence.. LOVE LOVE LOVE this place, some of the most if not the most beautiful lingerie in all of sl !!! If you do not have at least one set of this stuff you are missing out. For anyone that doubts this they are currently offering a super gift of Jaime Christmas Outfit. Ohhh look!!! Such incrediably rich detail. The lingerie is a fine gift on its own but with the awesome shoes, hot dress and cute necklace it is truly not to be missed.

Next stop and old favorite and some new ones. Who doesn't love a little Sn@tch from time to time? I loves them, 2nd post was on Sn@tch, awesome designs great prices and nice details and the HoHoNo gift from there is not lacking on any of these components. A lovely classic sweater dress and socks. Be sure to get yours and while you are at it be sure to run to Mia Snow and on the coco tray treats abound. There are some skins and yummy treats like cupcakes and for your inner ( for some not so inner :P) dork there are these cute and tasty candy cane antlers. Also if you have not already noticed my J's gift UNISEX Engineer Long Boots are sooo nice. Very generous unisex gift at J's to get them join the group and be sure to take your man friends so that they can enjoy these as well.
I do have somethings I have to get back to but there are a few more things I want to tell you about to I enlisted the help of 2 of the Freebie Fashionista members, Leora Levee and Charity Richez to help get this all done.


First up Charity has on the awesome Son!a Winter Dress Gift. Great shop for elegant gowns and this one does not disappoint. I am wearing PixelDolls Elizabeth Group Gift dress and Leora has on *Alchemy* Snowflake (Christmas 2008 gift). All great gifts from some of the best designers sl has to offer. Let's all be thankful and look fab doing it ... I wish all the best of the season to all of you and yours. Also if you are in the holiday spirit and want to come to Christmas Costume party we will be having one at M2C on Dec 20th. Feel free to stop by will be good time and good company, also will be taking pics with Santa !! What is better than that I ask you? Also before I forget to keep all that Christmas Booty in order use the A&A inventory butler , this nifty little gadget allows you to pack your things into a prim and when you touch it , will list the contents, you put what you want in chat and it give you that item!!!You can pick one up at Alli&Ali Designs Now really, what would be better than that for the new year?Many of us have and the rest of us should have a resolution to get a grip on inventory bulging from all this holiday kindness. ...

Fantasy China Dynasty Land

Hello my lovlies. I have had some rl issues, we all know how that is, that have kept me from being able to post for a while but I was on and found this place and could not miss the chance to post. It is a Chinese role play sim that offers lots to see and do. If you want to read more about that then feel free to check out my other blog Misadventures of Margaux Dufaux. This post is primarily about these yummy and incredibly detailed freebies that they are giving away. They have some beautiful ones for sale and as I could see most were about 1600L so that makes this gift even more special. They are only out for a week so hurry down and get them. They even have some nice things for the guys and we all know that they are often neglected. So that being the case I enlisted the help of my friend Mango Mubble, representing for the guys.

Also they just added a new outfit so if you went there during the initial rush now have a reason to visit this incredible place again. First off on me we have the generous and lovely princess out wear of tang dynasty and on Mango ancient chinese scholar, both very detailed and a true gift created by Stone Ryba. The sencond get up that we put on while we explored this beautiful sim, I have on princess yang of tang dynasty and on Mango another out fit for the guys Ancient Chinese scholars. As Mango enjoys a musical selection by moi. After a little more wandering around we found this nice quite spot and here I have on Feel China-Bena blue cheong and Mango has on Zen Robe.

Ahh what can be much better? How about a dress made from art and also getting the print that it was made from? That is right it is in the store now so pick it up. While you are there be sure to have a look around and the art museum is not to be missed. A little more about the attractions of this unique build on an upcomming post on Misadventures of Margaux Dufaux. Be sure to check it out.. Thanks to all the great artist and generous folks of China Dynasty Land ... Enjoy Bisous..

Free*Style Starlust Shout out

I know that it seems that the post are getting fewer and far between but I do what I can. This time I found a place that was set up by fellow bloggers at Free*Style. If you have not seen this blog I have a link to it on the right of this page. Good Stuff check it out. Anywho's they have a new and bigger shop set up with lots of goodies and an area to take free pics upstairs. I got several things there including this cute !WigWamBam Girlie Black/Red set. Here I have it with Fuel *Poppy* Bella Court Shoes that were a special dollarbie deal not too long ago. Not sure that these are still available but I love mine. to finish the look I have added (Caroline's) Graduated Diamond Set. For this look I am wearing Splendor - Cocoa Cherry Lip Gloss skin and *TRUTH* Berri 1L hair in Black.

If you do not know about the Splendor skins they are available for 1L . Come in 3 skin tones and the templates that were used to make them are available online. You are welcome to download them and use them to make your own skins. If you have ever wanted to make your own skins or just play around with this process here is your chance.

I also got this really cute Lingerie BabyDoll set by Royal Designs there. I love the color and there are some nice details like the clips on the garters and bra. Here I have it with the (JUNWAVE) Party Girl hair and the Tigerlily Koi - (Nude) Jaded ~Another Skin~. I love the softness of this skin and the beauty mark that is has on it. I also picked up these kuri cupcake eyes there. Not sure that these pics do it justice but they have little cupcakes in them, these are the ones in pink but they also have them in brown and blue too.

Last but not least we have the AOHARU BT SpringTurtle for FreeStyle, with winter comming up it will make a good staple to for any fall wardrobe. Here I have it with the Thimbles - Green Plaid Skirt that I picked up at the Starlust ext for 1L. I won these awesome TESLA - 'Jane' -lime- Shoes in the lucky chair at Tesla. The hair is *CMC* Carolyna - Orange, gift from Color Me Couture at the recent hair fair. Also from Free*Style The AOHARU Soft Ice Cream set in Caramel Mix and the .: mela's :. sakura sorceress skin in (natural).

Ravish Summer Spree

Howdy do to everyone!! Miss me? I hope so. In the excitement of all things summer and other various projects I have been working on I have not had the chance to post here as much as I would like, but the good news is I think that I may have a helper soon so you will get to see more. Also I don't know if many of you are aware but there is a freebie fashionista group in-world that you can join and I will be sending out notices about nice things even when I cannot post on them. That way you will never have to miss out on the great things I find and just do not have the time to post on. Also I would like for the chat to be a resource for us to help each other find specific things we might be looking for. Exciting!!

Now onto the goodies. First of all I sure that you will notice that I am looking a little different in this post. The reason being that I am modeling the Allie-shape and skin from Ravish. They have shapes that represent various body types , and many beautiful skins as well to compliment. They offer different packages and are pretty reasonably priced. The skin/shape packages range from 800L-1200L and the skins are 500L each and 1500L for a pack of 4. Be sure to check this place out.

I have found some great places recently and just cannot post on all that I love, but here are a few things to wet your whistles and give you an idea of the incredible generosity of these designers. Thanks to all of you designers for your kindness and for what you do. I would not be here if it were not for you.

First is the Poshy Punk Set in Peppermint by Isabella Esoterica Designs that was offered as a free gift by Callie Cline for Freebie Geebie Week. If you are not a member of the Cal Gal group be sure to join so that you can enjoy great gifts like this one. I have been getting them all week and have some great things I am thrilled to have. This lovely set has several pieces and with capris and a skirt as well as a jacket, this outfit like some others on this post offers a lot of options. This outfit looks like it was made for *JetDoll*'s - Vintage Vixen Black that I picked up at Savior Hair. The KJ- Wood-WHITE-Wedge Pumps came from Kumamoto Japan an amazing place that I discovered and you MUST go there. More about this amazing place later in the post.

The Retrology sim is celebrating 1 year being open, so celebrate with them. Many of the shops there are offing some great free gifts. Not sure how long these will be around but at time of this post the boxes were still there so please treat your self and head on down before it is over. Here I have the
with Rosemar's kelly green Slouchy Boot and ~Bewitched Hair~ Dollarbie~Amy in cake.

Now more about Kumamoto Japan, there are so many great things there. Too many thing to post or list. You have to go and trust me you will be happy that you went. Look at these fantastic sandals!! When I found these KJ-Brown shoes I fell in love. They also come in white with the next dress on this post. These are perfect for all those sexy summer minis, shorts and baby doll dresses. Here I have it with the KJ-BrownDress , KJ-Wood Accessories Set (earrings and 2 necklaces) and KJ-Bracelet. The hair is *booN free hair NMR32 in blonde.

There were many outfits there that came with multiple options like this KJ-WHITEDRESS with mini and baby doll options. Here with the white version of the sandals and the earrings that were with the last dress. The hair is Fuel Laydee hair that I picked up at Savoir Hair. I have also added this sweet cosmos(pearl) bracelet from *sakurako*. It was in a small shop in another area of Kumamoto Japan, so when you are there look around and there are more goodies to be found.

Another versatile set from Kumamoto Japan is this this tank dress that comes with 3 different tanks and 2 skirt options. Shown here with ~Bewitched Hair~ Dollarbie~ Beach Babe in blonde and in brown. Both are worn with KJ- Wood-BROWN-Shoes. I love these shoes and they have them there for free in 4 different colors!! What's not to like? I hope that you all enjoy these and be sure to check out the these great places.

ICEY coolness

Hi all, I have missed you all and am glad to be getting this post out. Sorry again that it has been so long but what can you do?... So without further delay I am going to dive into my latest find... I got a tip about some great freebies at ICEY. ICEY is a project by a Real Life Fashion Designer..cekin Karas. Totally new and only 1 month old shop will refresh its collection Monthly . There are many great casual pieces and the best part is there was nothing I saw in the store that was more than 150L. My kinda place!! They have some nice shoes that start at 60L, and looks like they are setting up to add more things. When I talked to cekin she said that there would soon be hairs and all kinds of goodies so be sure to check back often. Also I found these great pussycat lashes for 65L so I had to pick them up. She has 2o new outfits that will be comming out soon and is planning to have a fashion show sometime in July. This is one to watch out for.

Among some of the goodies I picked up were these knit pants that were 1L , also the shoes were from a box at the door for free. Here I have them with the Torrid wear double strap tank--at 20L for a pack of 5 it is a real steal. All the hair in this post came from a hunt at House of Heart that unfortunately is now over but they have them quite often so keep an eye out. Shown here is the Tuli in berry. Tillie's Spectacular Light Goggles (red) actually came with Tillie pose stand I bought... best pose stand in the world it also comes with a standalone hud that makes it easy to use your poses in places where you cannot rezz a stand. At 600L it is a deal for anyone that has need of a pose stand.

Another great find and my personal favorite from the shop is this awesome retro dress. I love the colors and the detailing around the bewbs. When I got it I put it on immediately. The Strappy T-Straps (brown) shoes from ETD discount section for 25L were perfect for this and also that skirt I got from here. The hair here from the House of Heart hunt is Ginnifer in platinum. When I was at the hunt also picked up these great dollarbie earrings and necklace from Kess Kreations . They are color change and give the options to change both the stone and the metal. So gives you many options to make it a good fit for a lot of outfits.

Last but not least is the spring skirt that was also in a box at the door. The entire skirt is prim. I love the way that it moves. Here I have it with *NB* Relaxed Strappy Tank: Mud (Free Item of the Week) (not available anymore) and Calina The Noble in brown from the House of Heart hunt.
I have on the *Beauty Avatar*SELKIS GIFT - Natural Skin( no longer available) , the pussycat lashes from ICEY 65L and my new eyes Natural Serie hazel acqua 8 from EDDESIGN body shop, 180L. in all pictures. The eyes have several prim options too such as sparkle and natural shine. Also all pics were taken on location at the ICEY store. Definately worth the time to check it out.. Enjoy!!
