I Want Candy

I Want Candy
Craving sweets?  No problem, the marketplace is full of all kinds of free tasty treasures.  Ring pops, lollipops, muffins, cookies, if you can think of it you can probably find at least one freebie.
I Want Candy
Of course, you’ll need an outfit to pair with your sweets.  You wouldn’t want to be banned from your favorite sim for showing up wearing only a lolly.  Luckily FLG & No Cabide have loads of free outfits to pick from.
Our model Lucy is wearing the FLG Rock Girl dress.  The color change HUD offers a very nice variety of color changes perfect for the “back to school” crowd.
I Want Candy
Lucy found a fun selection of accessories in the marketplace.
Unfortunately, the marketplace store, Candy Crunchers,  that actually inspired this post updated their offerings two days ago removing their fabulous whimsical freebies.  When I went to verify the freebie links I got nothing.  I even tried to visit the in-world store and  got nothing but air…literally.  I’m sorry to say the cute plushie, choker, and kitty ribbon bracelets are no longer available.
The moral of today’s post:  WHEN YOU SEE A GREAT FREEBIE SNAP IT UP ASAP!!!!
Don’t put it in your basket and wait to checkout on a later day.   Many stores giving 0L items tend to give the freebie in one color per marketplace listing.  Don’t simply buy the color you intend to wear.  If you like something and it’s free grab it right away in every color.
I Want Candy
Lucy started and finished today’s ensemble with items from The Free DoveSentinus Hair and Marquesse supplied the hair and boots.

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?
Good Day Sunshine
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.

Lucy Does Gacha

The event features over a 100 new gachas and tons of free gifts.  It took poor Lucy 2 days to sort through all the freebies.
Lucy picked her favorites to share with all of you.  Almost all of the gifts pictured here can be resized.  Which is exactly what Lucy did to the Moonicorn and Teddy Bear Rug.
Lucy Does Gacha detail
There is a little something for everyone at the Gacha Garden.  Lucy found several nice hairstyles, a great little dress, a crown, and a sweet necklace on top of all the fun furnishings.
Lucy Does Gacha back
Lucy also found a nice modifiable fox tail in the marketplace, and colored it to match her hair.
Lucy Does Gacha shoe
To complete the outfit Lucy scoured the marketplace and found the perfect boots in a Fizz Bomb & Pom Poms outfit freebie.
TIP:  Keep an open mind when looking at freebie outfits in the marketplace.  The outfit style at first glance may not appeal to you, however the accessories included in the box can turn out to be real gems.

On the Boardwalk


Heels and sand simply don’t mix!  So, instead of Under the Boardwalk let me present On the Boardwalk.

This smart yet casual look is a one stop shopping grab.  Sentinus Designs is a must have landmark for any SL clotheshorse.  Simply teleport over to Sentinus main store, join their free group, and treat yourself to a wonderful outfit, or two, or three.


I first discovered  Sentinus Designs on a visit to The Free Dove. I was so impressed by the gift that I found myself wanting more.  A quick teleport to the main store left me squealing with joy.
The Sentinus team is talented and generous with a capital G.


One thing I especially appreciate is Sentinus‘ attention to detail.  The Violetta Hair pictured above is a fine example.  The hairline looks extremely natural.


As for the shoes, well…I’ll let them speak for themselves.  Thanks for the goodies Sentinus, I love them!

HAIR – Sentinus Design Violetta Hair – Color HUD (group gift 0L/0L to join)
