Just because I haven’t mentioned the SL F&O Hunt recently doesn’t mean it’s over.  Heads up, you’ve only got two more days to find these fantastic gifts.  The hunt ends on November 25th.
To inspire you to get your hunt on, I’ve brought back Altamura’s gorgeous Estephania gift to model today.  Estephania’s face has that hint of a young Sophia Loren through her eyes and nose.  Estephania is also wearing Ellnique’s SL F&O hunt gift, the pristine black lace heels.  They are sized for Maitreya, Slink, and Belleza feet.
Time is also of the essence for the Black Friday Bazaar which ends on November 27th.  This fun jungle print dress is BlondeQueen’s free gift at the bazaar.  The Moonchild dress is sized for mesh bodies only.

No need to wait until tomorrow to get in on the Black Friday deals.  Teleport over to the Black Friday Bazaar for early gifts.  Over 50 designers are participating in the event, and most have set out a free gift bag for members of the Evil Bunny Productions group.  Yes, the group is also free to join.

Pop over to ADE for this casually fun hairstyle.  Issa is a fully featured fatpack gift with 9 color HUDs, 2 mesh models (rigged & unrigged), and a style HUD with bang & fringe options.
Issa’s bang option features an eyebrow length style which is very cute, but not the look our model was going for, so she went bangless and paired it with Sintiklia’s babyhair v.4.
Concluding today’s look is a charming skin from 7 Deadly Skins.  The oak toned Soya Omega applier is a group gift for members of Maitreya Gifts Sales & News.  You can find this and all the other shopping group gifts in the room directly behind the main desk.  Happy deal hunting!

Gallery Tripping

ASU - Gallery2cover
Are you looking to do a little something different in SL today?  Why not go gallery hopping.  We’ve put together a stylishly smart outfit for you to wear while mingling your way through the galleries.
Let’s start today’s shopping at Le’La. Le’La’s group is NOT free to join.  However, they do offer lots of of gifts to members of shopping groups that are free.  We found Corys Outfit in the section of gifts for MLM Free&Offers members.  The outfit comes in 5 fitmesh sizes, plus meshes for TMP, Curvy & Fine Beauty, eBODY, Slink, Maitreya, and Belleza.
ASU - Galleryback
Our model is wearing the classic eBODY that costs 1L.   We found the mesh for eBODY fit a bit too snugly around the hips for anyone using the thick alpha system to wear.  But, the Maitreya mesh worked very well on the eBODY allowing a free range of motion without any unsightly body flashes.
ASU - Galleryface
Though the jacket is slightly roomy  around the back neckline, it fits great through the chest, back, and waist.
ASU - Galleryjewelry
The Regal jewelry Set is a lovely group gift at EmmaKae.  It comes in gold or silver and has a whopping 30 texture HUD for the stones.

Formal on a Monday

ASU - Formal MONDAY2
Here’s a quick bit of sparkle to start your week off on an positive note.  The Sue Gown by Tiffany Designs is packaged to fit classic avatars and Maitreya, Slink, and eBODY meshes.
The gown can be worn with or without the flexi skirts.  That is especially helpful if your going to an area that requires low avatar complexity.  Simply leave the flexi bits off to keep complexity low.
If you find you’d like a bit more fullness to the flexi skirt (as our model did), simply copy and paste the flexi parts into your  inventory then wear.  Once on,  go into edit mode and position the new pieces.
ASU - Formal Monday
Included with the gown is this lovely Starlight Jewelry set.  The set is easy to adjust and position if needed.   To make this outfit your own, you’ll need to pop over to The Free Dove and raid their formal tables.  Enjoy!
