Buttoned Down

Hey Gals! Here are some cute new things from some of my favorite SL designers:

 

 

The Pietra skin from [Chloe] is a versitile and beautiful skin for everyday casual wear and even better, it came free from their lucky chair! The Morgan hair in fades from Tameless - Group Gift - flows beautifully around the face, framing it in soft barely-there waves.

 

 

This ladies Red & Tan Suede Button Up Shirt by [dirty.little.secret] is must have cold weather casual piece to top off your favorite pair of jeans. And these faded, comfey jeans from the Womanstuff Lounge gift wall, compliments of Hot Stuff fit the bill- (Phoebe top included in gift, not shown). Loordes of London Windsor Boot in Red coordinate perfectly!

POE5 Part 1 (Most Likely)

Do I have your attention? Gooood... 
Before getting involved in the real subject of this post, I would like to just explain a little what's happening with this blog. Actually, we don't know ourselves... things have just gone pear shaped. Beside the blog now being flagged with warnings that you might explode if you look at it, things are also a bit comical behind the scene as well. I sort of got over 11 000 likes for a post that officially only had 3 views.... Those three must have liked the post VERY much. 
Blogger obviously only have 'Support' in there because it looks good and not for of any real intention to help. Marg has decided to move the blog to Wordpress, which sounds like a good move, and she's busy working with the design. Once there's an all clear, this blog will move permanently and become Freebie Fashionista again. Right now, things are a little in between so please be patient with us during this frustrating time. Marg has actually already started to post on the site so there's stuff there to see. And now... to something completely different...

The Peace On Earth Gridwide Hunt 5 is on... and on... and on... Remove a few stores that hasn't happened and almost 200 generous stores are participating. Need diversion from the christmas shopping? This is it! XD 
I've just been through 1/4 of the hunt so far. My patience for real big hunts is usually in short supply, but I'll see this one through to the end. The quality of the gifts is outstanding. With around 50 stores under my belt, the gender statistics is roughly half of the clothes stores have male gifts besdie the fem ones. Add the many furniture and home decoration places that are involved as well and just under half the stores are of potential interest for guys. With most of the male gifts coming from stores that provides for both genders and the rest are for women in stores for women, I couldn't help wondering where the stores just for men are. It is the name of the hunt that brought this thoughts on. Is peace just for woozies? With aggression being part of the male stereotype, maybe it is. Hopefully the world is a bit more complex than men makes war and women makes peace. Disclaimer: women are no woozies. *Comes back out from behind the sofa*
Whatever the reason... here's a first outfit put together with stuff I found this far. Everything except the gloves comes from this hunt. Focus has been on colour. As much of it as possible XD To be fair on guys, I'll give the info if the store in question is of interest to them. Of course a mesh viewer is required for most of this stuff. Mesh has become so much part of SL now so when it's about unrigged stuff, it's not always easy to tell what's mesh or not.

Credits:
Ear Muffs: Shabby Chick, part of fem gift. There's a male gift as well. Scarf: Pelletteria Morrisay, part of male gift. Cardigan (with top): BoHo HoBo, fem gift. No male gift. Pants and Belt: Asteria Creations, part of male gift. Boots and Leg Warmers: ShuShu, part of fem gift. No male gift.

There's is an excellent list of the SLURLS and hunt hints here => X, BUT it actually doesn't say the name of the store. The system is so obviously designed to make as many hunters visit as many of the stores as possible and not just dive in for the proven goodies. That's fair, really. Sooo... join the hunt?
Ok, so that's the outfit for the sporty outdoors... I hope to be back with something in another genre  before long.

Hiya, just a quickie to say I've done the monthly changing of my poses The Retreat.

Take care and see you soon again :)

This is kinda last minute so let me get to it. The newest round at Stuff in Stock is fantasy themed and there are many dreamy items there for you to enjoy. This wonderful Samantha skin by WOW, shown here with Desdemona lipstick by Pekka. The lipstick perfectly accenting this awesome Siren's Lust corset by Sugar, that comes to just under the bust. This fun Disney Mouse necklace by I <3 Fashion with color change stone and tassel are a nice contrast and finishing touch to this look.

Also from  Stuff in Stock these adorable Rainbow Pony jeans by Evenflow, they have happy little unicorns on the back pockets and some other really nice details. Closing out this fantasy inspired look is this Fairy Light by Tentacio. This cute little jar with fire flies inside have a little friend to ride alone and a pretty flower as well.

Sweet Kitties

I have an addiction to lucky boards/chairs or whatever form they come in. The latest offer for my stalking was LoveCats Designs. It's always fun to collect up a large pile stuff and then put something together from that. Taking into account the 16 possible prizes from the boards, the MMs, group gifts and camping, I got away with about 20 complete outfits plus some other bits and pieces. Yes, I spent many hours there, but what better way to multitask if you're stuck at the computer in FL?
Below is ONE look that little adventure resulted in, just to keep this short and sweet. Go and have a look. Group membership is needed, but that is free. If this is your second nature, the group is well worth hanging around in because of the daily specials chosen from the regular stock.

Ears and Tail: from Demon Kitty Outfit Mens - Lucky Board Piercings (see pic below): Piercing set - Group Gift Jacket: from Snakebite Outfit Mens - MM board (now regular stock) Tattoo: Pawprint Tattoo - Group Gift Belt: Avid Girls - Lucky Board Bracers: from Dark Kat Outfit - Lucky Board Stocking: from Dark Kat Outfit - Lucky Board Pants: from Dark Kat Outfit - Lucky Board Paw Boots: from Dark Kat Outfit - Lucky Board
Below is a closer shot so you can see the piercings and get an idea of the texture of the jacket. I did blog the belonging chaps in an earlier post here. LoveCats at her best has a real flair for textures, some of it makes me drool for sure.

The sombre sim is Virtual Decay, home to Virtual Decay... fancy that...

That's all from me for this time... take care and have fun!!!

The Crystal Hunt Part 2

Hello... I'm back! I just HAVE to finish my postings about The Crystal Hunt that marks the opening of the Petites Kingdom!
The hunt is on to the 20th this month and the prizes are amazing... if you're into petites, of course. If you're not, this really is the time to have a go because you can collect some very impressive stuff for absolute free here.
Beside the central floating castle, there are four themed islands on the sim. All has their own story and offers everything you could dream a petite could need and then some. 31 stores, including names like G Field, Wasabi Pills, Al Vulo  and Rfyre, are participating. All necessary info as well as the list of the participating stores can be picked up at the landing point at the central flying castle. 
It's not a difficult hunt, but I recommend to regard it as a pleasant day out. Some basic knowledge of the sim is needed because the coveted crystals are not necessarily hidden on the same island as the store. The clues that each participating store gives are good, however. A little relaxed exploration while 'hoarding' clues will set you right. In fact, I found this a very pleasurable and colourful change from most other  hunts. A real treasure hunt.

This event has put a huge grin on my face for a few days now. These little guys makes me laugh and puts me in a general good mood. Especially this little merman tail... what else would it be called but a 'minnow'? XD
Anyway, a few more of the impressive prizes... What a merman...ehm.. petite minnow.... would do in the air? *Points at wings* Ever heard of flying fish?
Petite Minnow Tail: Clownfish Merman Yellow, Pacific Sunrise. Includes tails for both genders plus a simple unisex AO. Wings: Insect Wings, KaiAna. Comes with retexture HUD. Wings and veins can be coloured and retextured independently as well as animated. 

Hair: Noriko, Wasabi Pills Dress, including hair corsage and wings: Stella-B, G Field
I hope you notice I'm a bit out of words for this one... She's both topsy and turvy ^^

Alcove with hanging chairs: Garden of Light, Mole End Slippers: Arabian Slippers, Trident Jewelry. Includes pairs for both genders as well as full size avs.
Well... regrettably that's the end of this hunt for me. Where else to enjoy that but in the cool shade with some delightful company. I've found this hunt pretty amazing... and I've only shown you half the gifts! A huge warm thank you to all the involved creators.
I take my farewells for now in a pretty sweet mood. Have fun hunting!

Moon Festival Cart Sale and Hunt

Every year on the fifteenth day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, when the moon is at its maximum brightness for the entire year, the Chinese celebrate "zhong qiu jie." Children are told the story of the moon fairy living in a crystal palace, who comes out to dance on the moon's shadowed surface. The legend surrounding the "lady living in the moon" dates back to ancient times.


Virtual Asia will join the fun of this traditional Asian celebration this year with many fun events hosted here in the city .

The fun will start Sept 30th  with The Moon Festival Cart Sale that will run until Oct 14th. This cart sale will feature designer items and great goodies from over 20 of SL's most talented designers.

The Chinese celebrate The Moon Festival with special mooncakes, that  are regarded as an indispensable delicacy. Mooncakes are offered between friends or at  family gatherings while celebrating the festival. For the duration of the cart sale there will be a Virtual Asia Mooncake Hunt. Guest will be guided around the city hunting for these special treats stuffed with generous gifts  from participating designers all over the city.
