Don't Miss Doe's Fantasy Gacha Carnival Hair!

Who loves Gachas? If that's you, then don't miss out on the last day to shop at the Fantasy Gacha Carnival this round on Friday, June 5th! I picked up this Meeka hair from Doe (formerly Ploom), and while I didn't luck out and get a Rare, the Common "Monotone" fatpack has a lot of choices with 6 shades of platinum, 6 shades of black, 8 platinum dipped, and 8 more black dipped dyes in fun fantasy colors. And trust me, there are a lot of great Common fatpacks to be had!

Even for the most enthusiastic freebie hunter, there are jut some things you spend money on, and for me that's hair! And 75L for quality hair is a pretty good deal in my book! Don't worry, I've also included a few freebies for you!

SL Outfit of the Day: Bright Resort at Sunset

This look was inspired by the Resort colored hair by little bones that you can pick up for free over at faMESHed this month! And when I think resort, I think flowy, beachy, comfy, yet classy jumpsuit. I just happened to pick one up just the other day at LaVian&Co for their Spring 2015 group gift. And get yourself over to the Barely Legal Couture closing sale, where I got these shoes, but EVERYTHING is 10L, and I don't know how long that will last!

Now with many color combos with a HUD for both the hair and the jumpsuit, I finally settled on a bright version for today. Now, I am sad to report, that the window is closed to join the LaVian&Co group for free. I do not know if that opportunity will come back around, but if you can afford it, it's actually a pretty good deal considering you get access to hundreds (literally a whole room full!) of beautiful group gifts, so it's something to consider! Otherwise, there are still plenty of freebies and deals here for you to check out!

SL Outfit of the Day: Whispery Light Gold Champagne

It's certainly been a while since I last posted! You know, RL! I hope to be back a little more regularly! I've been dying to post this Outfit of the Day because there are so many great free and 10L or under items here! Even some freebies and group gifts! Unfortunately, I'm still a photography newbie, so it took me a while before I settled on some! I did play with some Photoshop edits on the first two featured photos. What fun!

a little close up of the eyes and makeup...

a collage of unedited closeup and fun photos...

(be sure to click through the photos to see bigger versions on flickr!) A few notes... The hair comes with a fatpack of colors... yay! The necklace gift was supposed to come with earrings, but I didn't get them, so I pulled out some dollarbies I got on the marketplace that went quite nicely. Also keep in mind that my skin has a lot of eyeliner and blue eye makup, so the makeup I added could look quite different on you. But it's free, so it's worth a try!

Hunt Finds: Best of The Dirty Diva Hunt

It's time! My first hunt post! So let me start out by saying, I had lofty intentions with what I was going to do with hunt reviews. I literally tried to to take pictures, and well, not very pretty ones, of me in everything I found on this hunt. With over 50 items, it became a bit too labor intensive. So, I'm changing up my game plan.

In my hunt reviews, I'll, of course, give you a few details about the hunt, but I will feature a favorite item and/or try to put together a look from several different items from the same hunt spread out over a couple of posts! I will try to list the other items that appear in my pics too, in case you like them! And since I am learning photography and think I would find it helpful, I will share with you the location and windlight setting I used. So let get on with it, shall we?!?

So since I mulled over how to go about doing this post for so long, Sweet Thang's The Dirty Diva Hunt is more than half over! But you still have over a week left to find some goods, as it runs through September 9th. And I hope to post a few highlights over the next couple of days.

You'll be looking for a little mascara tube. At a few stops, I just couldn't find it, but I still came away with a slew of items! And luckily, the Sweet Thang website gives you hints for most stops. The best part is that all the items are absolutely free!

So here I am at the first stop, Divalicious Designs, in front of the info sign and in the ensemble you will find at this location. Yes, even the hair, sunglasses, and jewelry are included!

So here's my first favorite find from stop #20, Bump & Co. A cute little red and black flower lace number. Check out that very sexy plunge neckline on this little dress too!

Eyes: Eyes 03 by Solace (no idea where I got this, but probably a freebie or dollarbie)

Hair: V-day Aphrodite Special Edition Valentine's Colors @ Alice Project (L$50)

Makeup: 

Vermelho intenso @ GloSSy (can't find GloSSy anymore! :( )

So Cute Eyeliner (red) @ [ M O N S ]  (I think it was a freebie or dollarbie gift)

Tattoo lashes gift @ { T O X I C } (LM no longer works)

Shape: Summer [ HUSH ] (past free group gift)

Skin: Summer - SeaBlue - Cream @ [ HUSH ] (past free group gift)

Feet: Women's Feet High @ SLink (L$675)

Hands: Women's Hands Elegant1 @ SLink (L$450)

Jewelry: Monica Sport Sexy Clothes Red Bracelets @ Jstyle (past free group gift)

Shoes: Dakota SLink Shoes @ Live Glam K Collection (L$99 at a sale event)

Dress: Cowl Neck Dress - Red Lace @ Bump & Co (free in The Dirty Diva Hunt!)

Location: The Looking Glass (where I rezzed the Enchanted Ballroom)

Windlight: Nacon's Sweet Dawn

Wanting to experiment with the photography, I took another pic of this look, so check it out on my Flickr account! This was also taken at The Looking Glass, but I will be honest, I have no idea what was rezzed there at the time, as I thought it was permanent! But I do know, the Windlight was: AnaLutetia - AvatarOpt2 whiter.

Can't wait to show you more!

love love,
Skyler
