… I’m hunting leaves!
Or more precisely a leaf that happens to be the hunt object for SL F&O’s 1st Annual Hunt.  So far the gifts in this hunt are fantastic.  There are nearly 100 stores participating, the gifts are high quality, and completely free (0L).
Today’s hunt item feature is the Rush Jumpsuit from ArisArisB&W.  Rush is sized to fit Slink, Maitreya, and Belleza bodies and comes with a 4 texture HUD.  These textures are so nice they leave you wishing for more.

If you’re thinking those lips look familiar, it is only because they are.  Estephania is Altamura’s SL F&O gift, and was featured in the Worth It post yesterday.  Though the Altamura bodies are not as widely supported as other mesh bodies, their classic shaping combined with an awesome alpha HUD make it a snap to fit into clothing sized for other brands.
Pop over to Queenz to pickup this casually sleek hair/hat set.  It comes with separate hat and hair color HUDs.
Lazuri supplied the jewelry.  The Classic Pearl Set is a free gift for all store visitors.

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!

I, Zombie

ASU - ZombieCoverF
Thanks to a couple of great freebies, one each from Bossie and GothiCatz, we’ve assembled a chilling zombie look for you.  WARNING:  Not safe to wear this look around avatars named Rick Grimes, Daryl, or Michonne!
ASU - Zombie frontd
Bossie’s October group gift is this lovely decaying skin and eye applier set.  The appliers support Catwa, and Omega compatible mesh heads & bodies.  Included in the set is a gory, rotting, maggot infested mesh eye that any avatar can wear.  The creepy eye is definitely worth adding to your Halloween makeover tool chest.
Classic avatars don’t despair.  Though you can’t wear the Bossie appliers, you can still use the creepy mesh eye.  And, we looked though the marketplace and put together several tattoo layers to help create your own zombie skin, plus we found a dead eyes freebie.  You can see the classic look under the shoe picture.
ASU - Zombie back
The bloody dress is from GothiCatz.  It is sized to fit mesh and classic avatars, so everyone can commune with their inner zombie properly attired.  Best of all, it’s free for all visitors to the store, no group join required.
