This lovely skin from Mert & BusenuR is a phenomenal gift.  It includes system layers for classic avatars, and a bunch of specialized appliers, plus the all purpose Omega applier.  Not only that, the package includes no brow and cleavage options.

I love these subtly macabre spider web eyes from LadyBunny. The included appliers work great.  However, it’s also wonderful to know the box contains both mesh and system eyes. Thanks LadyBunny for making a product all avatars can enjoy!

And that’s a wrap.  Until next time, shop happy.

HAIR |SL Marketplace.Alli&Ali Designs Hair.Invincible Hair (FUCTIONAL DEMO) – men's dark brown fade (free)
| OUTFIT |The Free Dove.Suna Design.Kim Outfit – Dress/Heels/Necklace Maitreya/Slink/Belleza/TMP/5 standards(NO alpha) (GG/free)

I love hassle free shopping!  Nothing tickles me more than opening a box packed with a complete outfit.  Yesterday I visited The Free Dove and found the Kim outfit.  Kim comes with a sexy little dress, strappy heels, and a mesh necklace.  If tomato red is one of your colors, then this dress is for you!
Today’s featured hair is the Invincible functional demo from Alli & Ali.  Invincible is actually a rigged mesh man’s hairstyle.  The hairline has a wide widow’s peak that I chose to minimize by wearing a dark hairbase.  From the front Invincible simply looks like a unisex style.  However, when viewed from the back, the gap between a female’s body and the flowing hair is a dead giveaway that it was rigged for men.
That gap is not necessarily a bad thing.  Rigged men’s long hairstyles offer the perfect workaround for females desirous of wearing long hair with bulky coats and hoodies.  I always recommend wearing the bulking item you’d like your hair to flow over, then trying rigged male demos.  This way you’re able to check if the fit will work for you without wasting your Lindens.

I almost forgot to mention that both the dress, and the heels are sized for Maitreya, Slink, Belleza, and TMP mesh bodies.  The heels are sized for high feet only.
Enjoy the quick change!

| EYES |Arata Shouten.Skin Fair 2019 gift – mesh eyes w/6 texture HUD 6DOO/CATWA/Genus/LAQ (free)

Though I’ve assembled six outfits, there is still one last store to visit.  Arata Shouten has generously set out their 2019 Skin Fair mesh eyes gift as a store freebie for all visitors.  These eyes have a captivating quality that enhances the look of any avatar.   The gift includes a  texture HUD plus six sets of mesh eyes sized for 6DOO, Catwa, Genus, and LAQ heads.
If you don’t have any of those mesh heads, but would like to  wear the eyes, it’s not a problem.  Since the mesh eyes are unrigged they’ll work with any mesh head or classic avatar by simply positioning/resizing in edit mode.  Classic avatars will also need to wear an eye alpha.
Until we meet again, shop happy!

I’ve got to admit, I love it when designers package a complete outfit tidily into one gift box.  Don’t get me wrong, finding freebies and creating new looks is definitely an obsession for all of us at All Spiffed Up.  However, every so often it’s simply nice to just open a box, wear its contents, and hit the grid.  For me, it’s the Second Life version of taking a day off from bed making.
Thanks to Nala Designs we can all have a lazy dress day in a brand new outfit.  The box includes the fringe halter, jeans, heels, and necklace.  The skinny jeans are sized for classic, Maitreya, Slink, Belleza, and TMP bodies.  The halter comes with a fitmesh and Slink Physique model, plus 5 standard sizes.  The heels are sized for Slink, Maitreya, and Belleza feet.
This outfit can be found in the far right corner of the store.  It is a gift for Fabulously Free in Second Life group members, so you’ll need to join the free group.  Nala supports many other free shopping groups.  The shopping group gifts are dotted around the store, one in each room.

Today’s sassy hairstyle is a “functional demo”, or more aptly a free sample from the marketplace.  It comes in the one shade, black raspberry, and is yours to wear indefinitely.  Be sure have a lengthy browse through Alli&Ali Design’s other styles, there are lots of interesting freebies in their marketplace store.
Finish off today’s look with another marketplace freebie from Zibska.  This fantastic eyeshadow set can be worn by everyone!  The box is packed with appliers galore and system tattoo layers.
Until next time, shop happy!

Pop over to Sintiklia for these wonderful mesh hair accents.  The hair buns are part of a boxed gift set.  They come with several color HUDs, and an additional color picker HUD.  We paired the buns with the Babyhair gift set also from Sintiklia.   Both of these gifts are free for all store visitors.  Thanks Sintiklia, we love them!
If you’re thinking buns and babyhair don’t make a complete hairstyle, you are correct.  Altamura’s Estephania gift comes with the option to wear a hairbase.  Simply wear the hairbase, and color the buns to match for an instant new hairstyle.  Any avatar, classic or mesh, can make this style by wearing a colored hairbase and coordinating the Sintiklia buns and babyhair to match.
For the earrings, simply drop by the All Spiffed Up headquarters to get a pair for yourself.

Harley

ASU - Harley face
Halloween look #7 is based on Margo Robbie’s portrayal of Harley Quinn in Suicide Squad.  Thanks to the wonderful gifts gathered from several designers we were able to capture the essence of the character.
The smudged Harley Quinn makeup is a freebie from LV Designs.  It’s an applier only set.  Though it was created for the Bimbo mesh head, it’s an Omega applier and worked perfectly on our model’s non-Bimbo head.  To capture Harley’s smile we did make two mods to our mouth shape.  First, we widened the mouth width, and then we increased the corners upward slant.
ASU - Harley fullfront
No Cabide’s Harley Quinn Set is a complete outfit-in-a-box.  The top, shorts, and garters are sized for Maitreya, Slink, and Belleza mesh bodies.  Appliers for the socks are also included.  The collar and shoes are unrigged/resizable.

The body tattoo is a marketplace find from Isuka Tattoos.  This gift comes with both tattoo layers and mesh body appliers.

Completing the look are two great items from Blackburns marketplace store: Spiked bracelets, and the bat.  The bat is unscripted and can be worn on either the right hand or back.  It comes with a Crazy HUD that includes dances and swings.  This is really a fun gift.  Thanks Blackburns!

The Syra turtleneck sweater dress is a complete outfit.  It comes with the sweater dress (5 standard sizes + alpha), boots (sized for Slink + alpha), and a bracelet (not pictured).  Classic avatars take note, this dress is for you.  And, if you classics own slink feet so are the boots thanks to the included alpha.
ASU - Goodbye Summerboottall
Mesh bodied avatars, including wearers of the “gift” classic eBody and Altamura gift bodies can fix most of the fit discrepancies with their alpha system, however to achieve a perfect fit near the hemline you may need to adjust (under the Leg tab) your shape’s butt and saddle bags sizes.  Depending on your shape, you might need to lower the slider for leg muscles to fit into the boots.
