Shopping can be tiring work! Especially after hiking the 4 sims of this year’s Hair Fair. There are nearly 80 shops to peruse, so put on some comfy shoes, pack a few water bottles in your trusty backpack, and prepare to be dazzled.
Today we’re featuring one of the 6 gifts from Alli&Ali. Alli&Ali generously packed their Hair Fair 2018 gift box with 6 hairstyles.
Thisbe hair brown pink gave our model a pleasant surprise when she tried to resize it. She clicked the hair, a menu popped up with the standard xyz sizing options AND… drum roll… 4 style options. Woohoo a fourfer! Thanks Alli&Ali we love it.
This romantic little t-shirt dress is a repeating Midnight Mania at TRS Designs. It’s easy to get with a 20 click setting so hurry over to get your clicks in. Plus, it is sized for both classic and mesh bodies.
Our model’s tattoo is a gift from Pin Up at the White Nights Event. White Nights is definitely worth a visit, it’s their one year anniversary and the gifts are plentiful!
Navigate over to the marketplace to get this awesome stocking gift from TheVampRealm’s store. There are 2 styles in 4 tones for a total of 8 stocking sets.

Who says you can’t look sexy while during your morning practice? We found the Elisea swimsuit set at LRS. It comes with a color changed HUD, and is sized for most mesh bodies. Simply join the group and proceed upstairs to the freebie area. With all the gifts to choose from, you’re bound to leave happy.
If you need room to practice, but don’t want to leave your own corner of SL, simply open the marketplace and buy this free studio. Since the build is copy/mod adding personal touches is a snap.

Back to School
Joy of joys, we’ve finally assembled a Back-to-School outfit. It has been a process that has left the All Spiffed Up studio littered with torn shopping bags, a few broken nails, and lots of outfits best suited for campus life in the animated series Bible Black. That wasn’t quite the look we wanted to send our model to her first week of school in.
Thanks to the special gift round of On9 we were able to make this post happen. Almost all of the 30 plus designers featured at On9 have put out a completely free (0L) no group required gift. Find your happy place, pop over to On9.
Let’s start with the Sweet Cookie gift from BESHA&Loki. This prop/pose gift is fun, tasty, and calorie free.
The centerpiece of today’s outfit is the Kanatan Backpack/Sweater from KiB Designs. This sweater is sized for Maitreya, Slink, and Belleza mesh bodies only. That being said, this is a large oversized sweater. It easily fit over a standard large mesh skirt which certainly means a classic avatar will have no problem wearing it too. It may be necessary to hide the arms, but any sweatshirt or long sleeved top alpha should solve the problem.
We paired Kanatan with a skirt taken from a great freebie set in EXTAL’s marketplace store.
Here’s a back view showcasing the backpack. Thanks KiB for a great gift!
These funky retro-ish glasses can be found at NYNE’s On9 booth. They don’t come with a HUD, but they are copy/mod so you can easily color them any shade you desire in edit mode.
This gorgeous hairstyle is one of the many fantastic prizes currently available on Olive Hair’s lucky boards. If you decide to do some shopping at Olive, this color is in the Bubble Goth HUD.
NaaNaa’s Accessories supplied the Magic earrings. They are resizable, and come with a 4 color HUD.
Everyone needs a diamond encrusted septum ring! The designers at Dreamlight understand this hunger and thoughtfully packaged one in their On9 gift box.
Quite possibly the most versatile On9 gift is at SLACKGIRL’S booth. The Azzurra Bento Mesh Nails are high quality neutrally toned fingernails that leave the wearer lusting after more color options. Best of all SLACKGIRL has thoughtfully rigged them for Maitreya, Tuty, Belleza, Altamura, Eve, Tonic, Slink, and Vista hands.
For everyone out there wearing any of the gift Altamura bodies, this is your chance to pickup a nice perfectly fitted new manicure.
…exhales a sigh of utter contentment. These boots are just too lovely for words. Thanks MSS for sending us into a freebielicious coma!

Astronomy 101
Is it just me, or do those planets look curiously similar to pressed powder eyeshadow? I have a sneaking suspicion our Iona is deviating from the lesson plan.
Musing aside, we’ve got a few nice finds to brighten up your Monday. So let’s get down to business.
Team All Spiffed Up discovered Safira this weekend. Safira is a wonderful store run by generous owners. Safira’s group gift wall is loaded with great items all of which are free!
Iona chose to model Safira’s Noa dress. Noa comes with a 6 color HUD sized for Slink Physique. If you wear a different mesh body, don’t worry as long as you have a detailed alpha system you’ll be fine. Iona wears Maitreya’s Lara body, and with a little trial and error on the leg alphas she was able to get the perfect fit.
Look at the lovely shading in this eyeshadow! It’s one of 12 great colorways featured in the Paulie gift set in Zibska’s marketplace store. The set is packaged with mesh appliers for Catwa, Lelutka, and Omega systems. Best of all, it’s free!
Under the Paulie eyeshadow applier is the Blair skin from 7 Deadly s[K]ins (7DS). Blair was recently a Midnight Mania gift. Though you won’t be able to pickup Blair today, you can slap both of the free Midnight Mania boards located on the wall behind the main desk.
After you click the Midnight Manias pan left and check out the gift boxes. 7DS supports several shopping groups with nice gifts.
Crowning it all off is Summer, another great Lucky Board gift from Olive Hair. This gift features the blondes HUD, has a streaks option, and comes with rigged and unrigged models.
These yummy espadrilles are still available at C&S. They are sized for Slink/Maitreya feet, and come with a 40 color HUD that allows for overall color changes or separate colored laces. You’ll find these beauties on the second floor.
This fun 3D solar system picture is the September group gift at MUSU. It also comes boxed with a smaller solar system compact. The compact so strongly resembles holiday makeup sets purchased at a cosmetic counter that our poor Iona simply could not believe it wasn’t an actual applier gift. She kept unpacking the original box thinking an applier set would be delivered. Needless to say, that didn’t happen because this wonderfully quirky gift is a DECOR item only.

HAIR – Olive Summer Hair – Blondes + Streaks HUD (lucky board/0L)

Sand, Sun, & BBQ
Looking for someplace to enjoy surf & sand? Team All Spiffed Up’s location scout has you covered. Why not try a visit to Brethren Cove. The sim is filled with lots of great areas to lounge, entertain, and of course – pose.
This beautiful dress is a free gift from LUXE Paris Fashion House for the Swank event. It comes in 5 standard sizes and supports Maitreya, Belleza, TMP, and Slink. You’ll have to hurry to get one for yourself, the Swank Event ends August 31st.
A quick teleport to Firelight will result in several new hairdos. This style is one of three gifts for members of SFL&O (Second Life Frees & Offers). Joining the Firelight group will give access to mania boards and lucky chairs. Plus, Firelight is a participant in the Enchantment Hunt (it ends August 31st), so there are two 0L frogs to find containing cool new styles.
If the sheer number of different hairstyles doesn’t peak your curiosity maybe this will: Most of the gifts we looked at came with a Color Tint HUD. Which is how our model Nina was able to concoct her lovely shade. Thanks Firelight we love your style!
Wear your Free Dove tag to get these highly versatile earrings created by Poeme. They come in two shades, gold and silver. However, since they are copy/mod a quick switch into edit mode means you can recolor them to suit yourself which makes them a perfect accessory.
A few clicks in the marketplace will finish off today’s look with these flirty suede heels.

HAIR – Firelight Mitchel Unisex – Browns + color tint HUD (SFL&O gift/0L)

Hello all, hope you had a great weekend!
Here’s a quick post to get you in on the Grand Re-Opening of Alien Gizmo. They’ve moved, redecorated, and are celebrating with a 200L gift card. Simply, join their group (it’s free) and go shop.
While your there be sure to check out the group gift area. Granted the women’s side has many more gifts then the men’s, but both are worth checking out.
Of course, we did find a few more goodies from other places. Both of our models are wearing the Minato Hair subscriber gift from Argrace. Subscribing is free, and once done you can collect 5 nice gifts. Thanks Argrace!
Iona’s smokey eyeshadow only one shade included in a fabulous gift from Zibska for the Sense Event. Best of all, Zibska thoughtfully included tattoo layers along with the mesh appliers so everyone can share in the glamour.
Mirus Designs is our final stop for this fun white tattoo. Once again, everyone can share the enjoyment thanks to the creators at Mirus Designs for including a tattoo layer in the packaging.

Weekend Retreat
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.
We found this fantastic tied-at-the-waist sweater on COCO Designs’ group gift wall. COCO Designs’ group is free to join with lots of past gifts still available. Thanks COCO, we love this shirt!
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.
This manicure applier set is a gift from Mani Pedi for The Free Dove.
Carla had trouble finding a pair of free sneakers for her outfit, so Team ASU put together an August 2018 sneaker and sock gift for all of our readers. Simply pop over to the All Spiffed Up headquarters at 7th Heaven to get your gift. The set is unrigged for easy positioning, includes an alpha for classic avatars, and has resize menus. Enjoy!

Rest & Relaxation
Several broken nails and countless paper cuts later we’re happy to announce we’ve finally opened all of our Women Only Hunt (WOH) gifts. The WOH runs through August 18th, so you’ve still got time to collect the goodies.
All items in today’s post except for the flip flops are WOH gifts.
The dollfactory’s hunt gift is the Anne shape. The shape was designed for Slink’s Hourglass body and Catwa’s Lona head. If your like our model (Dutch) and don’t own either of those items you can still give the shape a try since it is copy/mod. Dutch was able to use the body portion of the shape “as is”, but did have to make mods to the head/face numbers to get a look that worked for her mesh head.
Though the halter top and the front tied shirt are two separate gifts from different stores, you’d swear they were made as a set. They layer together seamlessly.
7 Deadly Skins gifted the Bali skin in chestnut. The skin is Omega compatible and comes with a no-brow option!
The black flip flops are a nice little marketplace freebie. They come in 4 colors, and though they are packaged for mesh feet they can be worn by classic avatars.
The Mary shorts from Have Unequal have a nice embroidery color change HUD.
Here’s a closer look at the eyes and necklace.

Classic and Proud
Classic Avatars, this post is for you!
Of course all items can also be worn by mesh bodied avatars, you’ll just have to get a bit creative when choosing a dress size since only standard mesh sizes are available.
We found this lovely butterfly dress in Helping Haven’s women’s store. It comes boxed with 5 standard sizes plus an alpha and a HUD with 4 different styles.
Here’s a nice back view.
This fresh faced skin is a group gift from Esode. Zoe comes with two skin options for classic avatars and also includes appliers for Maitreya, Slink, and TMP mesh bodies.
A quick trip to The Free Dove is all that’s needed to make this elegant necklace created by Chop Zuey your own.
The puffed metal earrings and the manicure below are marketplace freebies.
A&J Creations finishes off today’s look with their Samantha heels group gift. These heels are old school, meaning the feet built into the shoe. They come with the foot alpha, and two HUDS. One HUD controls the strap, toenail, and skin coloring. The other HUD controls the shoe sounds. A&J Creations has several group gifts currently available, and is free to join.

Sci-Fi Noir
Fans of futuristic urban noir films are going to love the Hangars Liquides sims. The environment completely immerses the senses, tempting even non-role play enthusiasts to dabble a bit. Fortunately, we managed to hold it together long enough to snap a few pics for today’s post.
Recreating this look will take 6 teleports, 5 free group joins, and one quick marketplace grab. Let’s get this party started!
The simple yet stylish gradient sweatshirt is a group gift from Revelation. It comes with 11 color options sized for mesh bodies only. However, since it’s a sweatshirt it would be easy enough for classic avatars to scare up a suitable alpha from their inventory.
Mission awesome skirt requires a visit to Cremosas Store. It is boxed for mesh bodies only and supports: Altamura, Belleza (Freya, Isis, Venus), Slink (Hourglass, Physique), Eve (Slim, Pulpy), Maitreya, and TMP.
If you’re looking for a bit of protection from sooty city rain this marketplace find will do the job nicely.
Lovesong is another great hairstyle available for members of Lamb’s group. Did we mention Lamb’s group is free to join?
The Fondness bracelet from Osmia is just one of many free gifts to be found at Epiphany’s birthday round.
Need a fresh manicure? Livia is the shop for you! Whether you’re looking for classic subtlety or bling, it’s all here. These are only 2 of the 6 options to choose from in the Calla group gift. Calla includes appliers for Maitreya, Slink, Vista, and Omega.
Now, before you ask why we have gratuitous sexy pics thrown in let us point out that our model is wearing this fabulous thong under her skirt. The thong fits like a glove, and it easily fit under all the bottoms our model was thinking about blogging which could be why Kaithleen’s has called this the Universal Thong. It’s sized for most mesh bodies, including ebody curvy, comes with a 15 color HUD plus two metals.
C&S is today’s final stop. The Joy Sandals fit Maitreya and Slink, have 40 color options plus the ability to change the laces independently. Thanks C&S for this lovely summer gift!
