Pretty Pretty Princess

What girl doesn't like to feel like a princess every once in a while at least. As the holiday season is fast approaching this is a chance for us to dress up and embrace our inner princess. There are many lovely gowns around the grid that you can score for little or nothing. All the money you save scoring the gown for a great deal can be channeled into a little something to truly make you feel like a Queen.



Sascha Frangilli is one of the best and most generous designers in sl. Specializing in formal gowns and cocktail dresses, she is a favorite among the Freebie Fashionistas. She has a wall full of monthly group member gifts present and past and also other special gowns like the 5000 member gift. Her elegant and classy designs will make you feel like royalty with out making you pay like them. Right now Sascha's is having a big rezz day sale. Sascha put out a dollarbie and has marked down one color of many of her most popular gowns throughout the store. There are big black and white flags in front of the sale dresses. Don't miss out on this deal. This Phenom ball gown was a dollarbie at her newGrafton location and it comes with several options.



Also these lovely gowns from Haute Couture. First up this awesome Candy Cane Gown is in the lucky chair with some other nice holiday wear. Some of my favorite details are the richly textured corseted bodice with just enough skin showing through the laces to peak interest and still leave plenty to the imagination. I also love how the waist is embellished with sweet bows and snowflake accents, that really help to get you in the holiday spirit. This dress is also available for $400L if you just cannot wait.













Also from Haute Couture this gorgeous Winter White Snowflake Gown that would make any girl feel like a true princess. The criss cross cut out bodice with sequined trim is both sexy and sophisticated, the tiered skirt with sheer overlay and snowflakes gives an icy coolness to this dress. The long gloves that button up the back and the snowflake boa are the perfect accents to to wrap up this royal look. On special at Haute Couture for $250L you can afford to get this dress and have a little left over for a little something else.

Now with all the money you saved you will be able to slurge on something that will let all others that see you know that you are a queen. This stunning Azucena Set in platnium from Alienbear's there is a Queen Crown, small crown, Necklace that can be worn in two styles, and a pair of bracelets and 2 different styles of earrings that are available in the store for you to mix and match. Available in gold and soft antique gold finish too . The parts of this set range from $1199-for the jaw dropping Queen crown to $180L for a set of earrings, it is not cheap but a good way to splurge with all the bargains you got on gowns. Looking close you can really appreciate all the care and craftsmanship that she puts into all her work. All of her stuff is transfer so makes a good gift too for the holidays coming up to if you would like to spoil that someone special. Also very generous there is a whole stand of gifts and special pieces that are $10L or less and lucky chairs loaded down with goodies. Be sure to check this place out, she has pieces and prices to suit all taste and budgets.


All pics taken at ARCS, Angel Blue Sky, A wonderful winter place with iceskating, dancing and a cool place to explore, I also want to thank my sweet Justy-Poo for being the ultimate prop. <3 not available in stores... hehe. Well I hope that his helps you to get ready for all the parties you will be going to and let you be the princesses, or Queens that you are!!

Long One for the Frugalistas

All we frugalistas know that even if you have unlimited $L to spend (as if), there's always amazing gifts to be scooped for free or $1L (+ even more $50L sales. Isn't there basically one every day of the week now? Yayers!)
The Dominion/The Vinyl Cafe always hands out such lovely freebies, and so often too. Their newest "Feather BabyDoll" fatpack caughty my eye for its spiky, fluttery "feather" skirt with tons of movement. There's one extremely ass-kicking detail that ramps up this good dress into a great one: the subtle texture contrast between the low-shine top against the flowy matte spikes of the "feather" skirt (which you can see in the pic below).

Here I'm showing the black dress as it comes (attached saucily high). You could easily adorn this geometric-shaped cutout bodice with jewelry, but I thought looked more striking without.
However because I am a RL + SL jewelry glutton, I just couldn't resist adding the stunning LeeZu! free jewelry gift set. This chunky gold rings + metal chain design works so beautifully, + I like all the miniature beads + texture work throughout. I'm wearing the matching earrings too which are a nicely weighty "chunky" drop style.
Here's another shot of those awesome Kalnins open-toe, color-change booties. These are not free but sooo worth the $L. See why these textures, shine, wrinkles + color combos are the smex? See?
Here I'm showing this same babydoll dress in this luscious berry color, edited this time so that the skirt sits slightly lower -- giving this dress more of a daywear look. (See what I mean about the texture contrast between the shiny top vs. the feathery skirt? Delish). I'm also wearing my new favie black feather necklace from Atelier (this necklace is not free, but do scoop the free fur-trimmed handgloves there). These adorable polka dot socks are part of the free socks fatpack gift from S@BBiA and this lovely lime/dark orange hue is yet another color option in the Kalnins shoes.
These pictures were taken in the free photo studio you can grab at Tigerclaw. (There's actually tons of freebies there, from giant striped teddy bears to motorcycle jackets. Look for the rows of boxes you can buy for free inside a large metal container). This was Gavin interrogating me about my latest outfit. Hee.
One of my favorite places in SL, Drowsy, has a new build featuring two vintage railway train cars (one of which has little stores inside). Translation: to-die cuteness everywhere. Here's the inside of one of the old-fashioned train cars. Complete with old-fashioned luggage!
The eye-popping textures and meticulous detail of this SIM are truly spectacular. (Drowsy is kinda a sprawling SIM so to get to the train cars, follow the winding trail from the landing point around the hill). You'll find one of the train cars sunken halfway into some lovely flower-dotted water. There's even deer. Hiding out near a laid-out picnic. This place is like atmospheric mood central.
I had just dragged Gavin to Multiple Personality Designs so I could grab these free fur-trimmed black thigh-high boots + matching Santa hat. While I was there, I scooped their brand-new fur-lined bikini + skirt sets for a frugal $1L per color (for $5L you get the 5-color fatpack). I luh how the shiny, latex-like finish + risque revealing-ness of these Santa's helpers outfits inspires naughty (i.e., not nice) thoughts.
See how a li'l Xmas spirit makes you f'get about any pesky Titanic water leakage issues that might be happening in the background?
All of Gavin's clothes (except his shoes) are from one of his favorite men's stores, Alphamale. (Thanks so much Yelmer!) I love this smoky blue color + Alphamale's clothes are always so classically tailored. The classic look of these pieces is like hey presto, instant polish for menz.

I've actually been dragging my friends all over the grid this week. Everyone knows how reluctant my friend Margaux DuFaux can be about fashion, but I was in a daring mood so I forced her to hit the Zenith Fashion lucky boards anyway. This place quickly became my personal Spot of Angst since I was wildly unsuccessful at winning their supercute "Gossip Girl" dress. (Gavin, however, managed to win it about 8 times. Grrrr).

Here are just some of the looks you can win for free. This "Rock Girl" outfit is so fun with its candy pop colors, complete with long black gloves. My R2 black pumps with red bowties (see pic in the styling credits below) were from last weekend's $50L black sale. And isn't this giant pink snow background crazy? This was actually fellow SLexy Fashionista model Ethan Kanahoe's home, which he has transformed into this brrrr-yootiful Winter Wonderland.
All these musical instruments are freebies we scooped at the Sera Korea store, where you can scoop everything from microwaves to alien heads. (Seriously. Alien heads. See final pic below). It's a little hard to tell here, but these free drums are pink! *dies*
Gavin looked so cute in this "1932" shirt above and I thought that my fur-trimmed leopard dress below was one of the glammiest looks at Zenith (both of these were free lucky board gifts). The boys are showing more free men's gift tops from the Zenith lucky boards below; in particular, Ethan's gray and black striped polo is such a classic men's look.
We tried + tried but we could not get Ethan to stop wearing around his free scholarly teddy bear backpack that he won from the Zenith lucky boards. He and that bear were like bffs. Luckily Ethan's chipmunk friends were the non-jealous type.
One of my fave Zenith lucky board gifts were these Supergirl PJ's. Gavin is wearing the current free men's Zenith group gift (above the lucky boards), this short-sleeved gray argyle sweater. His cute blonde cap hair came from one of the $50L sales at Atomic.
I remembered these free ghostie slippers I won at the W00ty B00ty MM board + slipped them on. They were super comfy.
I received a notice about a hunt at A Piece of Candy (another store which regularly gives free monthly gifts for subscribo members) + I was pleasantly surprised to see that the top floor had been converted to rows upon rows of $1L tops, pants, skirts + dresses. The rich, saturated hues of these clothes is something special. Here are just a few tops that I scooped for $1L each. (I actually got so excited about these dollarbies that I totally forgot about the hunt!)
Isn't this lace edging on these tops fabulous? The capris on the left are part of a current $1L gift at Hyper Culture and the adorable pink sherbety socks are also included in the free S@BBiA socks fatpack gift. The gray shorts + striped socks are not free, but the boots on the right are once again free from N-Core.

Finally, I noted this free red hair from Salon de MA*YO a few weeks ago in my weekly "Better Quality Freebies" shopping list; I returned this week + its still free. All the other hairs there are a very reasonable $100L per color. Definitely worth a demo!

This lovely smokey pink-brown color is so flattering on any skin tone, which really warms this fashionista's heart. Both this top + leggings were just $1L each at A Piece of Candy. This lovely free turquoise + bronze metal loops necklace + earrings set from PERTURB/ation really pops against this feminine hue.
The knit texture on these A Piece of Candy $1L lace-edged leggings are very nice; again the smokey pink-brown color was my fave. I paired these leggings with these unique "treble clef" pasties from Nayar for $1L.
The $50L pink sale at Pink Outfitters thru 11/24 has girlie girls like me in a li'l frenzy. I heart their hand-drawn designs + previously blogged their classically tailored black chiffon blouse here. See the detailed texturing of these shorts? Love the sexy low-rise on them as well. The top + shorts here, and each of the dresses in the next photo, are all on sale for $50L each.
This belted casual dress on the left was such a find -- the print somehow manages to be both modern + retro at the same time. I love the flirtiness of this pink-and-white party dress on the right, especially with its sassy white petticoat just peeking out from underneath.
Now would be a good time to show you my newest non-free boots obsession: the new thigh-high boots from J's. (Listen, I might be a frugalista but unfortunately I also have some serious $pending control issues, so I was forced to scoop the $1600L fatpack. Sigh). The realistic texture is the usual top-notch J's quality, but there's just something about the rounded toe + sleek, long shape that is really stallion-esque. They are. The. Smex.
I recently discovered the Holli Pocket store + it is such a gem. Holli has a naughty sense of whimsy which makes her designs both playful + sexy -- my ultimate favie combination ever.

For us more daring fashionistas, Holli has introduced this fantastic new peek-a-boo buttie minidress, which gives you a sassy peek at that perfect SL butt cleavage. The tiny hearts trim trimming the keyhole edges + just-tucked into the bodice is like a playful li'l fashion slap + tickle. Hee. Hee.
I dressed "down" this yummie "blueberry" version with my SoReal black sneaks + this fabulous back tat. Both the tattoo + these pretty hair butterflies are free from Minajunk. Aren't they cute? The scattered star socks are yet another free gift from Zenith (look for them near the base of the stairs). This gangsta necklace is also free as a profile picks gift from Apple May Designs.
I dressed "up" this lovely beige color of this dress with large black tourmaline oval jewels from House of Hucci. This lovely nude champagne color is my fave + it's 50% off ($75L) until Saturday 12 am SLT. (Be on the lookout for a special red color of this minidress that will be available exclusively as an upcoming hunt gift). Both of the hairstyles shown with this dress are more $100L finds from Salon de MA*YO.
I paired the beige dress with the Stiletto Moodys red patent leather free shoe gift that is available for then-current group members (I believe thru the end of today SLT). Their side-seamed, shiny Gladiator-styled strappiness is such a striking style + the toe shadowing is just fabby.
Finally, just wanted to show you more goodies from the everything $0L Sera Korea store where Gavin + I scooped cool housewares like this washing machine + a refrigerator that opens (fully stocked). Plus there's all kinds of cool ways you can totally go incognito. See how handy this mint-green alien head is? One of these would be so awes in RL.
My dearest fellow frugalistas, thank you so much for all your kind + supportive words on this blog + also for my weekly "Better Quality Freebies" list (if anyone wants this, just drop me a NC in-world). It truly means so much + /me hearts you all.

Love + fashionista kisses to all my frugalistas! Mwuahs!
