Happy Saturday!
Team All Spiffed Up thought you might like to kick off your weekend with a little exercise in a lovely setting.  Of course, you’ll need the proper attire, so let’s get dressed.
The t-shirt and running shorts are the August group gift at Vive Nine.  Unlike so many group gifts that have obvious signs in the store, this gift can only be found in Vive Nine’s group notices.  So, join the group (it’s free), click the notices tab in the group, click on the August Group Gift 2018 notice, and open the attachment.  Voila, the Tami outfit is yours.
Tami is sized for mesh bodies, and has 4 color choices for the running shorts.

Here’s a closer look at yet another great hair we snatched off of Olive’s luckyboard wall. The Stephanie Hair Naturals comes sized for regular and bewbies with standard and streak option HUDS.  It’s not easy finding platinum blondes with depth.  Great job Olive on a wonderfully shaded hair!
Eyes up people, we’ve got makeup to discuss.  Our model Carla combines a classic head with a mesh body.  All three of today’s makeups can be found in the marketplace, are tattoo layers, and as an added bonus two of them come with mesh appliers.  Of course to make it into this post they are also free.

Yes there are many “gifts” dotted around the event, however not all are free.  Not to worry, the gifts that are free make UP! SUMMER worth a visit.

Guilty Pleasures

ASU - My Secret2
A funny thing happened in The Hamptons …we lost our model.  At least we thought we did  until  the aroma of her unscheduled break caught our photographer’s attention.  Luckily Gabe is a resourceful shutterbug and got a few fun candid shots.
This is the last weekend to pickup gifts at The Bliss Event.  The official Bliss advert touts 63 gifts ranging from 0L10L.  While there are a lot of “gifts” be advised that very few of them are actually 0L.  That said, there are a few free gifts that are worth a teleport.
ASU - My Secret vest
Team All Spiffed Up’s favorite Bliss freebie is the jean vest from FAFA.  The detailed embroidery is simply great.  Even better, the vest comes sized for both mesh and classic avatars, making it the perfect mix and match garment.  Nina got the vest to work over her mesh top by wearing one of the standard sized vests over her body specific top.  The combination worked like a charm.
ASU - My Secret side3
The top, denim skirt, and heels are group gifts from No CabideNo Cabide’s group is free to join, and chocked-full of wonderful gifts.  There are even more gifts available for members of various different shopping groups.  Bottom line:  No Cabide is one of the most generous stores on the grid, and well worth visiting!
ASU - My Secret back
Today’s lovely long hair is a lucky board gift from OliveOlive’s wall of lucky boards changes quickly and does not require group membership.  It took Nina less than 5 minutes to collect two different hairstyles.
ASU - My Secret Shoes f
Red platforms with lots of  studs and buckles, ooh la la, we love them!  Believe it or not, these fabulous beauties are an added bonus, not the main attraction, in a boxed gift outfit at No Cabide.  They are sized for mesh feet only (Slink, Maitreya, Belleza), and also come in black and white.
When Nina was putting today’s outfit together she almost missed these shoes completely.  Luckily for us the style of the top boxed with these shoes caught her eye.  She liked the top enough that she thought “hmmmm, wonder what the heels will look like?”  Curiosity works for us Nina, thanks for the great finds!
Nina’s Style Card:

Yabba Dabba DOO!

Yabba Dabba DOO! cover
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.
Yabba Dabba DOO! back
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.

What's Up Pussycat?

What's Up Pussycat? cover
Meow!  No your eyes are not deceiving you, we’ve found yet another “hipster cat” outfit for you at FLG & No Cabide.  The backless t-shirt and skirt come boxed together.  They come sized to fit most of the major mesh bodies.  Unfortunately, standard mesh sizes are not included.
Of course, thanks to The Mesh Project the omission of standard mesh sizes and their corresponding alphas is never a problem.  A quick teleport to The Shops will remedy that problem ASAP.  The TMP beta free female body is always just a few clicks away.
Naturally, a system body wearer can always cobble together a few alphas and pull off this ensemble fairly well.  However the backless design of the t-shirt made doing that  quite a challenge.  In the end, it was easier for our model Gabby to simply change over to the TMP body.
What's Up Pussycat? back
Today’s flowing hairstyle is a Lucky Board find from Olive Hair.  It comes with a wonderful HUD loaded with terrific colors and a streak option.  If you are a hair enthusiast a visit to Olive is definitely in order!
