Make Me Up Before You Go Go…

… take me shopping tonight!
ASU - MakeMeUP cover
Get ready to get your shop on.  Though today’s look is completely free, it will require a bit of assembly and some sim hopping.  So, let’s dive straight into the details.
The lovely denim dress and whimsical high heeled sneakers can be found at Cremosas StoreCremosas gives lots of wonderful freebies.  The store has two groups: a free one, and a fee based VIP group.  Plus, special gifts are available for various freebie groups.  An avatar can walk out of Cremosas with a good weeks worth of outfits.

Dulce Secrets supplied the skin & eyes.  There are currently 4 free skin gifts available along with a Givaway Madness board with the eyes.
Our model Carla is wearing the Azami bare skin.  The picture next to “SKIN” shows the Azami skin as boxed.  Carla however wanted to spruce it up a bit for a night out on the town.  She was able to find several free makeup layers in the marketplace.
Carla transitioned the Azami skin from a daytime finish to a sultry evening look by adding blush, lipstick, and eyeshadow.

All of Carla’s jewelry can be found in the marketplace.

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.

HAIR – Sentinus Hair Christian Hair – Color Hud w/bow @ The Free Dove (0L)

Pump It Up!

Pump It Up! (cover)
A Second Life model’s day isn’t just filled with puppies and posies.  Heck no!  Just ask Team All Spiffed Up’s TMP model.  We caught up with Everley during one of her sculpt workouts and were excited to find she was wearing fantastic freebies.
Pump It Up! (back)
Everley found her great workout tee and shorts at the FLG & No Cabide store.  The Wanda Outfit comes in 5 standard sizes with alphas and sized versions for TMP, Maitreya, Slink (Hourglass & Physique), and Belleza (Isis, Freya, Venus).  Add to that the wonderful color change HUD and you have a perfect freebie
If you’ve never been to FLG & No Cabide then you are seriously missing out.  They have an extensive freebie room filled with gifts for numerous freebie groups like No Cabide, SLF & O, Maitrey Gifts, Sales & News, etc…  All of the groups are free to join so you are pretty much guaranteed to leave the store with a whole new wardrobe.
Pump It Up! (face)
Today’s hair is a free gift you can find at Truth Hair.  It is one of three group gifts available, and comes with a nice color change HUD.
Pump It Up! (asu gift)
For those of you who may be seeing our blog for the first time, our model Everley wears The Mesh Project’s BETA free body (TMP) exclusively.  The free TMP mesh body is great, it comes with tons of skin choices, hands, and three feet (bare/low/mid).
The feet pose the biggest dressing challenge.  The rigged shoes for Slink and Maitreya don’t fit TMP feet.  And, freebies for bare/low/mid feet are very limited which means creative thinking is a must.
Everley was getting a bit frustrated trying to find free sneakers for her outfit, so Team All Spiffed Up decided to intervene and make a custom pair of sneakers.   The ASU sneakers gift is non-rigged which allows you to position to your specifications.  We’ve also included a resizing menu for further versatility.  So pop over to our headquarters and get  a pair of sneakers on us.
Everley’s Style Card:
HAIR – Truth Hair  Kizzy Group Gift – Multi Color Hud (group gift 0L/0L to join)
EYES – Linden Labs Morgan Eyes @ Your SL Inventory (0L)
MESH BODY – The Mesh Project (BETA) Free Body(f)  @ The Shops! (0L)

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.
Up Up and Away back
The sweet jewelry is non-rigged making positioning quite easy.
Up Up and Away detail
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.
Up Up and Away shoe
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.

HAIR – Analog Dog Gabby – Dark Blonde Hud w/ombres found in current freeball (0L)

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.
Good Day Sunshine
These babies are just sooooooooooo yummy!  KC Couture steals our breath away once again with these unique wedge heels.  As always, the HUD included with these babies allows the user to customize the main leather, the wedge, and the metal.  Thank you KC, thank you very much!

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!
