[CheerNo] had a lot of awesome sales recently, and right now (until Dec 11th) everything in the skin department is reduced to merely 99L$!

A taste of SL & a splash of the black market

There are some truly spectacular exclusive creations that have been released recently and I want to share just a few. Firstly I've always been a fan of Dreamscapes creations and I can't be enthusiastic enough about this weeks releases for The Taste of SL event (more details found at HERE) all the furnishings are part of the event so do be quick to bag a bargain! The Fireplace with cage books & candles are on offer but if you wear your TOSL group tag you will get  'Frames & more' free!

Next I want to gush lots about the skirt! I can without any hesitation say that this is the most beautiful, wonder skirt that I've ever owned in SL. I know that mesh can produce such incredible creations however try as I might I just cannot see mesh, regardless of what viewer I use & I was utterly convinced that this skirt by 22769 was mesh. I'm thrilled to say it isn't!! I can wear it! it has such a vintage feel to it with the most fabulous William Morris style print. It also has a high waist band (not best illustrated in my pics I have to say) and what's more is you can detach the bottom prim to make a pretty parachute style knee length skirt ..ahhhhhh fantastic!! It's only available until 13th December though as it's an exclusive design for The Black market event.

[melancholy fall]

The Gallery Gift Shop - an eclectic mixture between art gallery and store - has gone into it's 3rd cycle of releases, and 22769 is once again participating with a mesh-outfit that is perfect for fall. The beige pants are about 7/8 long and have a detailed, wide cuff to show off with your pair of favorite rainproof boots. Cable-knit is the comfortable sweater with the small turtleneck and its rich, dark-brown color, so if you're looking for a nice ensemble to lounge in front of the fireplace and enjoy your hot chocolate while the rain is pouring down outside, I can only recommend to visit the Gallery Gift Shop, grab a demo and then make it yours!

[tunics and maidens]

In the past week I had some more spare time and decided to roam the grid for Lucky Chairs, Midnight Manias and some special events that are running right now, and I got lucky enough to find some nice outfits for free - or a very low price. If you're into medieval roleplay, Gor or working on a Halloween costume already, you might like the following items!



This lovely dress is a Lucky Chair-prize from [knickknack], a store that specializes on authentic medieval clothing and accessories. I really like the lush textures and the variety it can be worn, from a simple, rather revealing tunic to a modest dress reaching down to your ankles. The water yoke is another item you can win at the store's LC and comes in an animated (walk included) and non-animated version. When you're there, take a good look around, since there is 4 chairs in total to be found!



These stunning Celtic tunics are from De la SOUL and unisex, with a special love for detail when it comes to the beautiful embroidery adorning the sleeves and the lower seam. As you can see, it looks also nice worn without the prim attachments, so you can vary the look, and the rust-shaded pants are also included. The golden version is available for 10 L$ at the Marketplace, whereas the aqua-shaded one is only 25 L$ at the Fall Fete-event, which only runs til October 4th - so hurry if you wanna call it your own!

Disco Inferno!

With the Disco hunt well underway what better opportunity than now to be a bit of a disco diva and shake your stuff on the dance floor!  The hunt kicked off on the 15th September and runs for a month -  Slurls and hints can be found HERE.

This hunt has a 70's based disco theme and there are an assortment of items including a dance floor, poses, furniture, jewelry & many 'groovy' (ahem sorry) outfits for men & women. The hunt object to look for is a disco ball. See below for a sample of my favs.

The unknown hunt

The unknown hunt is underway and continues until the 30th September. Each item is only 1L each and there are 36 to choose from, the thing to look for is a small leaf. For slurls, hints of more details click HERE.

The top that I am wearing is one of the hunt prizes it's the hibiscus tube top from dark creations and I particularly like the print. I wanted to mix it with another contrast texture and so decided to team it up with these pretty checked shorts which another one of the monthly 1L offers at Humming.

The skin is from Bare Sensual, I've blogged skins from here before and I have to say that I love the eye make and the lips on this one as they're quite muted tones which make for a fresh not too made up  look. The eyes are part of a 3 pack gift at Bonne Chance with options of brown , blue & green.

Tomboy chic

So I've had bohemian chic, now I'm having tomboy chic if there is even such a thing? I love this look to me it's more kind of tomboy feminine. I say that because tomboy suggest a little bit too masculine for my liking. The outfit from Vero Modero is certainly very feminine and there is such a massive range of colours to choose from that you'll find yourself wanting more than one! I love the halter neck look and this may sound odd but I especially like the detail on the bow at the back, some times those little details really make the difference.

Love the hair too it's certainly one of those must have items, and don't I look just a little bit mischievous wearing my cigarette armbrace & slingshot legbrace great fun unisex free gifts at Iren. Perhaps a little bit Lara Croft but not so energetic, I think my tomboy chic is more about lazing on the grass shooting apples of the trees than leaping into action.
