I love it when an advent calendar stays active through the season, allowing for past gift pickup.  So, put on your comfy shoes and grab a trolley, we’ve got serious collecting to do.

Let’s start at eBento.  Their advent calendar features a whopping 70 gifts, and is unlocked for group members.  Simply join eBento’s free group to start clicking your way into gift oblivion.  This round closes December 31st, so time is of the essence.

Fan’s of short and sassy dresses should head over to DM Design next.  Join their free group to collect 24 lovely little dresses from their open advent calendar.  If that isn’t enough for you, visit the group gift area to gather 8 more gifts.

Next, head over to Glitter to raid their unlocked advent calendar.  Glitter’s group is temporarily free to join, so why not indulge?

Queenz‘ group members can still pickup several very nice gifts located under the Christmas tree.  The group is free to join, and features a generously stocked group gift wall.

Legendaire also has several Christmas gifts dotted around the store for its group members.  Normally, Legendaire’s group has a join fee, but the owners have temporarily set the fee to 0L.  Not only does the store give monthy group gifts, but it always maintains a generous group gift area.

The last store on today’s list is Analog Dog.  Today’s featured hairstyle can be found in their recently updated freeball.

Here’s to the holidays, and awesome free shopping!

Look, No Hands!

ASU - Look No Hands Cover
Happy Saturday!  Hope you’ve got a hot evening in Second Life planned because we’ve found a fun little outfit that simply begs for a night out on the town.
In our ongoing quest to find fantastic free footwear we wandered into Gos BoutiqueGos is filled with gorgeous footwear, their group is currently free to join, and the group gifts are simply WOW!
ASU -Look No Hands Dress
Valentina opened the Bardot Sandal gift and squealed in delight when she discovered this lovely ruffled mini included in the box.  All plans for a quiet night-in vanished.
Gos’ creators not only do a wonderful job with their textures, but they are also conscientious of their customer’s individual graphics preferences.  Each of the gifts we opened included regular and advanced lighting models.  The sandals are for Slink, and Maitreya mesh feet.  The dress is sized for Maitreya, Slink, and Physique mesh bodies.

The level of detail on the advanced lighting model is marvelous.  Thanks Gos Boutique for the stunning gifts!

Golden Years

ASU - Golden Years cover
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.
ASU - Golden Years back
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!
ASU - Golden Years face
Analog Dog styled today’s hair.  This glamorous style can be found in the current freeball.
ASU - Golden Years shoes
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.

Up Up and Away

Up Up and Away cover
In a hurry to get out and about in SL?   We’ve got a no-brainer outfit guaranteed to slash your dressing time today!  Simply teleport over to R&R Swag, join their group and grab the Meadow Outfit (white).
The Meadow Outfit comes complete with top, pants, sandals, necklace and bracelet.  Meadow sizes include most of the various mesh bodies along with standard sizes.  The sandals are sized for Slink feet only.
Up Up and Away front
The embroidered details are a charming touch.

The sweet jewelry is non-rigged making positioning quite easy.

Today’s featured hair is a fun throwback to the 80s found in Analog Dog’s current freeball.
The eyes are a great group gift from Avi-Glam.  They come in 8 shades with your choice of either standard system eyes or a mesh set with a color changing HUD.
Up Up and Away face
And…for everyone out there that has yet to change over to a mesh head, we’ve got a nice standard skin from Mother Goose’s.  Yes, Mother Goose’s is still in world!  Better yet, they still have 2 pillars worth of fast changing Lucky Boards.  No group join necessary.
Personally, I love the mesh bodies. But, I have yet to adopt a mesh head.  The nice thing about not using a mesh head is that all of your fun old style skins can be worn with your mesh body.
What?  Wait you say… you can’t put those old skins on your nice new mesh body unless the company makes appliers for you.   Yes that is true, but you don’t need specialty appliers.  Simply wear the skin with the face you like, layer on all the extra makeup you love, and then use your mesh body’s skin hud and match the body’s skin tone to your face.  No one will ever know the difference.
If that sounds like something that appeals to you, then I highly recommend popping over to Mother Goose’s and picking up a bunch of the Lucky Board skins for yourself.  Who knows how long these old skins will be available.

Rounding out our ensemble is a lovely pair of gladiator style sandals that come boxed with the Meadow Outfit.  These sandals are quite nice, and highly detailed.

Good Day Sunshine

Good Day Sunshine
What could be finer than a sunny morning in the tropics?   A sunny morning in the tropics with a Siamese of course!  Iona went to Bipolar Kitty in search of a new outfit and walked away, grinning like a loon, with a new pet accessory.  It’s definitely the little things that keep SL interesting.
Good Day Sunshine
How can you resist that face?… and all of that plush hand tooled Italian leather?

These sweet floral capris are one of many group gifts to be found at WellMade.
Good Day Sunshine
We especially like how the ties and bows detailing adds a bit of flirty charm to the outfit.
Good Day Sunshine
Let’s talk about the t-shirts.  Yes, your eyes are not deceiving you, Iona is modeling 3 different tops.  Blueberry is probably one of team All Spiffed Up’s favorite stores.
The designers at Blueberry know their stuff.  Their texturing is terrific.
Good Day Sunshine
The t-shirts modeled today are actually two separate group gifts.  The green lace t-shirt is packaged with a long and short version.  The pumpkin side-tied t-shirt is the October gift. Best of all, both gifts come with fantastic color changing HUDS.
Though Blueberry’s group has a modest 20L join fee, both of these gifts can be picked up by anyone for free.  Simply stand in front of the group gift wall and hover your mouse over the gifts.  When your mouse changes to the pay icon, those are the gifts anyone can buy for 0L.
Good Day Sunshine
Iona’s hair can be found in the current freeball at Analog Dog.
The necklace and eyes are marketplace finds.
