Gather around guys, this post is for you! In just two teleports you’ll walk away with a new free mesh body and a complete casual outfit.
The Aiden outfit is a January group gift at Lupus Femina. And, as usual joining the Lupus Femina group is free. Aiden is a three piece set that fits both classic and mesh bodies. The set is composed of the jacket, running shoes, and jeans.
After picking up the clothing we recommend you rush over to syhk ASAP to get yourself the free male mesh body 1.2.
Our model Wolfgang is wearing the fabulous syhk 1.2 body and the included shape. This is by far the nicest free mesh body Team All Spiffed Up has encountered to date. There is so much to love about this body that we decided to let the pictures do our heavy lifting.
We have included a picture of the body’s HUD. syhk 1.2 comes with an extensive alpha system, an included tattoo, mesh underwear, and preset skin & nail colors with the additional ability to use a color picker to make your own skin tones.
Since we were unable to find any sort of neck fix option in the box, the color picker is a great feature that allows a patient person to nearly match whatever head option they choose to wear.
Below is the included tattoo which can easily be worn by clicking on the tattoo picture. To remove simply click hide. The same process applies to the underwear. The HUD’s simplicity makes wearing syhk 1.2 a joy.
Wolfgang’s Style Card:
MESH BODY – syhk mesh body 1.2 – HUD controlled (group gift 0L/0L to join)
OUTFIT – Lupus Femina Aiden outfit – classic & mesh (group gift 0L/0L to join)
Location:
Cafe – O @ Austin Island is a scenic city space filled with numerous public spaces that are visually engaging. Austin Island is definitely worth exploring.

In the Dark
Did the holidays leave you feeling like a goth out of black? Have no fear, we can remedy that for you in two teleports!
First stop on our back to black mission is COCO DESIGNS. This store is filled with wonderful items, has a 0L group join fee, and a giant group gift section. The fur scarf, halter gown, and mules Iona is wearing are just a few of the free group gifts currently offered.
The fur scarf comes in three tones: black, grey, and light brown. It’s rigged and can be worn on classic and mesh bodies.
The halter gown is a mesh body only item made for Hourglass, Maitreya, and Slink bodies.
These highly detailed mules come in grey and ivory sized for Maitreya and Slink feet.
Since it is January, today’s post would not be complete without having at least one item from the Womenstuff Hunt included.
Feast your eyes on TAOX TATTOO’s “The Queen” Womenstuff gift! “The Queen” has appliers for: Brazilia Doll, Maitreya, Omega, Omega Face, Signature, Slink, TMP, Vista Hand, Catwa, and Lelutka.

& Stuff…
The ‘stuff Groups SL are kicking off the new year with a flurry of freebies! If you are thinking ‘stuff Groups who, what, huh? Don’t worry you’re not alone. Most likely you’ll recognize this group more readily by the individual hunts they organize: Menstuff, Womenstuff, Kidstuff, Homestuff, & Posestuff.
I know hunts can be annoyingly frustrating, BUT ‘stuff Hunts are in a class of their own. Why we love ‘stuff Hunts:
- The gifts are great!
- The gifts are free (0L)
- The hunt objects are easy to find.
- The hunt runs from January 1st – January 31st
- The hunt hints make sense! (for those of us having a problem finding the object)
- The participating designers tend to be generous. If the hunt gift is not to your liking there is an excellent chance a more interesting freebie is lurking in the store’s group gift or lucky chair area.
- Womenstuff hint page: Store listing, hints, & landmark page
Our first model Lucy is Team All Spiffed Up’s go to gal for hunts and bustling events. She decided to keep today’s post simple and show off the first three items from the Womenstuff hint page plus a free hair from Radex DesiGn.
Lune~Bleue’s Womenstuff gift is this wonderful black and white winter ensemble. The Frosty outfit comes complete with a coat, tank & skirt, and half-boots & socks. The coat and socks are separates, thus can be mixed and matched freely with other items in your inventory.
Best of all, Lune~Bleue has considerately provided the Frosty outfit sized for both classic and mesh avatars. Which explains why we are blogging the same outfit on three different models today. Lucy is a classic avatar wearing an XS tank & skirt combined with a S coat. She advises wearing the coat one size larger than your tank & skirt size to prevent them from poking through the coat when moving.
Everley wears the TMP basic free mesh body. This body is quite lovely, but does have it’s challenges for those of us not willing to spend lindens. The basic free body lacks an alpha system. So, when we find outfits that support or fit TMP we feel compelled to share them with our readers.
Though Lune~Bleue did not include a mesh specifically for TMP, the HourGlass tank & skirt mesh worked perfectly. Unfortunately, none of the coats concealed the TMP arms.
Everley’s necklace is the Womenstuff gift from Zuri Jewelry. The necklace has a color change menu for the metal, gems, and large heart. Zuri Jewelry’s mainstore also has free gifts for members of MLM, SLF&O, FabFree, Maitrya Gifts Sales & News. Simply wear your tags to add a few lovely new pieces to your virtual jewelry box.
The last model is the ever versatile Iona. Iona wears the Maitreya Lara mesh body. The Frosty outfit fits the mesh bodies supported perfectly.
Here is the boot and sock closeup. Both items are non-rigged for easy adjustment.

Happy 2018! It’s a new year filled with fantastic new freebies. So, let’s get down to business.
Today Carla is modeling a matched set from Emerald Couture. This great little number is currently free for the taking. It comes sized to fit Slink & Maitreya along with 5 Fitmesh sizes & an alpha for standard avatars. The stocking/boots are sized for SlinkH, SlinkP, Belleza (Freya, Isis, Venus), and Maitreya. Not only is Emerald Couture’s group free to join, but they also have 4 lucky chairs and Men’s clothing too!
The black chair Carla is posing with is a fun marketplace freebie that can be found in Irrie’s Dollhouse store. The Pose Chair comes with 5 adjustable poses, is copy/mod, and has a LI of 2.
RaDeX DesiGn has put out several new hairstyles on their group gifts wall. Carla is modeling the Juliiet hairstyle. Juliiet comes with a HUD offering several colors. Best of all, the RaDeX DesiGn group is free to join.
The December Necklace is a gift in alba fashion’s marketplace store. This is a fun little necklace that is copy/mod which allows the wearer to put a picture of their choice on the pendant.
Capping off the ensemble is a lovely little faux fur rigged mesh stole. During the photo shoot several members of Team All Spiffed Up felt the outfit needed a little something extra. After a quick session of brainstorming we put together the ASU stole, which can be found at the All Spiffed Up headquarters in-world. Simply drop by and have a little warmth on us. Enjoy!
Here’s a closeup of that fab footwear Emerald Couture.

Golden Years
Happy weekend! Team All Spiffed Up decided to kick off the 2017 holiday season with a whole lot of bling. This outfit can easily take you from a cocktail party directly to your favorite nightclub.
The micro mini dress, sunglasses, ring, heels, phone, and decor items are all free marketplace finds. The necklace, earrings, and bracelet are free gifts from Lazuri’s main and Fashion Island stores.
All of the decor items are copy/mod so recoloring and resizing is always an option. The mirrored frames are actually quite large, to get them into this shot resizing was a must. Keep in mind this particular item cannot be resized simply by grabbing a corner tab and dragging. Resizing requires editing the linked parts.
The wonderful retro clock is both attractive and fully functional. Best of all, the faux fur rug has 9 color choices, one being SKUNK!
Analog Dog styled today’s hair. This glamorous style can be found in the current freeball.
The satin wedges and sunglasses are part of a free outfit in FA Creations marketplace store. These heels are old school, meaning the feet are included in the shoe. Before our mesh body wearing friends turn up their noses at these heels, consider this; they come with an easy to use HUD that allows skin, nails, and main color changes plus resizing. Any avatar, mesh or classic can wear these.

Kyoto On My Mind
Halloween look #2 – The Geisha.
This is a fun look that doesn’t require a single teleport or a single Linden. Simply click the marketplace links in the style card, buy for 0L, and dress. Most of the items are copy/mod so can have fun putting your unique signature on the ensemble.
The Curious Kitties Shop supplied the Kimono & hair. We did modify the hair a bit. First we made the flexi bits invisible. Then we added the wine streaks to jazz up the design.
Next we removed the peachy hue from the orchids.
To create the Geisha powdered skin tone we added a skin tint tattoo layer. Then we layered eyeshadow, eyeliner, and lipstick tattoos. The overall effect created a lovely Geisha look without having to purchase a new specialty skin.
When recreating this makeup be sure to add the lipstick last.
Here’s a closeup of streaks.
We added that same wine hue to the sandal straps.
Now let’s talk socks. These socks are rigged and full perm. So if you want to work on them you’ll need to rez them on the ground, make your modifications, take them back into inventory and then wear them. Since the sock mesh is high above the ankle, the socks were showing through the kimono whenever our model moved.
To solve that problem we added more alpha to the sock texture hiding the top half of the sock mesh. It worked like a charm. Our texture is available at the All Spiffed Up Headquarters.

Yabba Dabba DOO!
Halloween is coming… YIKES! Whether you are new to SL or a seasoned pro one thing holds true: You can never have enough costumes in your virtual closet. To help you never get caught in the same outfit twice, team All Spiffed Up is dedicating this weekend to rounding out your spooky wardrobe.
Our first offering is Drac’s Layla Blue Leopard Dress. It comes sized to fit most mesh bodies and includes an alpha layer for classic avatars. Drac is currently running a store wide Halloween hunt. There are 20 free hunt gifts to be found. The hunt objects are relatively easy to find, so you are guaranteed to leave the sim happy and laden down with boxes to open.
Drac is a large store with lots of merchandise. In addition to the hunt items there are several random freebies dotted around the premises. Best of all, Drac’s upper level has a games room where you can chill while challenging your bestie to a round of Greedy Greedy.
The lovely fur is a gift from Indyra found at the current Tres Chic event.
Gemma’s eyes are a wearable demo/gift from Mayfly.
When Gemma came over for the photo shoot we immediately thought of a grown up Pebbles from the Flintstones. So, to round off the outfit team All Spiffed Up meshed up a set of rock jewely exclusively for our readers. We’ve made the set copy/mod so you can resize and recolor to fit your specific needs. The Yabba Dabba Jewelry Set is available at the All Spiffed Up Headquarters.
Topping off today’s look is a fun and versatile hair from Olive. The HUD driven Wendy hair is currently one of the store’s Lucky Board offerings. It comes rigged and non-rigged with HUDs to control hair and scrunchie colors. Thanks Olive, we love it!

Moving On Up
… to a deluxe CEO Penthouse in the sky! Thanks to Elements Log Homes you can too. Just pop by their marketplace store and pickup one of their four free skyboxes. This photo shoot was staged in the 84 prim CEO Penthouse.
The CEO Penthouse ambiance is great for a wide range of uses i.e. : evening weddings, cocktail parties, music venues, restaurants, and of course the odd photo shoot.
Today’s blog post marks team All Spiffed Up’s first visit to NYNE. NYNE features hair, clothing, accessories, gatchas, and appliers. Best of all, their group is free to join and has a whopping 19 gifts, 18 of which are hair.
Our model Cassie is wearing the dress that was included it NYNE’s clothing gift box. The shoulder dress is sized for several mesh bodies and also the standard fitmesh. NYNE thoughtfully included the dress alpha for everyone using classic avatars. So, if your looking for a new store to check out, definitely boost NYNE to the top of your weekend shopping list.
The Solar Full Body tattoo is a marketplace find boxed with appliers for mesh bodies along with layers for classic avatars.
A quick trip to LeLutka is guaranteed to put a smile on any hair lovers face. The Oops hair is a free wearable color demo that can be found upstairs in the older hair section. The style is nice, and the colors are wonderful. Oops is perfect for all those casual encounters you’re bound to embark on this weekend.
Cassie’s skin, shape, eyes, and eyelashes can all be found in the Dulce Secrets 2017 Free Dove gift box. This box is simply AWESOME! Whether you’re new to Second Life, or simply need a fresh makeover this gift will fit the bill. Thank you Dulce Secrets for your artistry and generosity.
Fingernails are always a bit of a problem for classic avatars. Before the introduction of mesh avatars several of our models parted with large wads of lindens is search of the perfect manicure.
Thanks to the marketplace store Vika Design our readers don’t have to follow in our linden bleeding footsteps. These flashy nails are not only free, but also copy/mod. Once you file away an original copy for safe keeping you’re free to recolor and re-texture to your hearts content.
