Amidst the oodles of ongoing hunts, I wanted to mention a smaller one called the Strawberry (ichigo) Hunt, featuring about 20 Asian stores on the J Island SIM. I'm wearing the
Mr. Poet prize here, this
how in tarnation is only $1L? dusty rose oxford + neck scarf, which I paired with the new
"Kaelyn" hair by
Truth that I just can't seem to take off.
*mwuahs Truth Hawks*
Btw this
$1L book tucked under my arm (+ the toppling ice cream cone in the shot below) both hail from the ongoing rebuild of the Drowsy SIM (you can't tell from this pic, but the girl actually "moves" continuously across the page). This
freakin' fantastico Bambi fur purse was another find at the Drowsy library, and the unique
$20L antlers mirror was a cheapie find on Marketplace (the shadows are by me, lol).
Some participating hunt stores are also offering some spectacular non-hunt gifts just sitting in-store, like this
free fuscia brocade jacket also by Mr. Poet (you can find it on a lonely rack by the door). This double strawberry charm necklace is another hunt prize, featuring a pretty blossom charm;
such a great find for
$1L.
So many hunts, so little time.
Grabby looty love + fashionista kisses to all!

Wait, these aren't my Playtex dishwashing gloves.
And now back to 1 of the way funnest things all year for fine jewelry designers: shopping for sparkly gems at the world's largest colored gem show, GJX. Colorful treats love + fashionista kisses to all!
This tousled shortie hair by Elikatira is a sale find at Collabor88; I paired a free mini-pumpkins 'n floral headpiece by BP, a Vive9 sale purse in this delicate tangerine shade + a skin from a designer who's gotten tons of attention this year, Hart Larsson at PXL.
Check out the frex action on this face: as someone who wears a lot of frex skins, these are some of the most realistic I've seen on the grid. The newest Donna Flora black pearls, the latest Tokidoki group gift + some exquisite "leopard" print nails by Je Suis finished this autumnal look.
In other news, Modavia Fashion Week kicks off on the 8th (sorry, not today!), i.e., prime time virtual fashionista central (be on the lookout for 6 new free gifts a day if you join the Modavia Fashion Marketing group for $0L; all gifts will debut with each designer's new released collection). If you haven't seen the catalog yet, it's so worth a click-thru; these layouts are the closest I've seen in-world to "real" fashion mags + the photography work is simply gorge. Click here for a list of participating designers; definitely not an event to be missed.
Sometimes my emo side slips out. -- Gavin's so dreamy. Hehe.
G + I decided to break for the Hamptons early this week, i.e., a good excuse to show off his new driving shoes after our friend Vixanne left a particularly incisive comment on the chatbox recently. -- That hurt nobody's feelings, I might add. -- It's that damn emo side again! Hehe.
The floral shorts I'm wearing here are free by Le Poppycock; this long, flowey "Fiona" hair is also new by Truth (all these recent long styles are so so smex; a better look at this one coming soon).
* NOTE: In honor of Style Academy, Mstyle creator Mikee Mokeev has most graciously agreed to give everyone her brand-new Goshi pumps (in an exclusive hot pink panther color!) free for 24 hours (click the sign instore OR the computer subscribo)! Take a look at these beauties, complete with teeny tiny panther skin print + a deliciously high platform heel. To. Die!
* NOTE to les shopperistas: we've just added a brand-new stores blog section called The Bookstore, featuring some of your fave SL store blogs in 1 place (BEWARE: shopperista danger zone!) Such a great way to get a "1st look" of brand-new goodies. -- And speaking of goodies, I've been getting oodles of questions about this skin I'm wearing; it's the latest "Layla" face by Glam Affair at the Skin & Shape Expo. *mwuahs M4ri1yn Magic*
. . . + stay tuned for more exclusive Style Academy gifts to come! To style is divine love + fashionista kisses to all!
Don't miss hitting Clematis either for a supercute free cardigan; this free adorable bonzai tree (featuring these 2 pretty golden birds) is 1 of the many other gifties there.
Sweet treats love + fashionista kisses to all!
I'm showing the pinstriped shirt + sweater top free gift by Tres Blah, which I paired with the brand-new slim barrette "Tilda" hair by Truth+ these scrunchy knee-hi socks + skirt new by Boom (check the usual yummies texturing). This look might be more fall than winter per se, but it's still good for snuggling. *peeks around for someone to snuggle with*
I wanted to look tres glam for my li'l frugalista scuffle, so I slipped on the new free Asian-American skin you can win for free at the PINKINNIK lucky boards (formerly I Ce Coco); luhs the deep rose blush on these cheeks. A free shoulder teddy cheered me on, while this free pastel striped umbrella by NoiRiLiCiouS helped me fight the elements in style. *mwuahs Noir Gothly*
I met up with my penguin friends while visiting the famed Hotel de Glace (ice hotel) that's built (+ melted) once a year. These li'l flipper dudes are $30L at D-Lab; my fave was this animated backpack guy (who I named Chippie), who actually swivels his head + waves his flippers around nervously. -- I think Chippie was worried about everything melting. There, there Chippie. *pats Chippie on the head + wiggles his flipper*
Speaking of $30L grabs, I'm also showing another $30L Lamb hair steal. The rest of this color pop look features a free Icing bodysuit + more free BP tights, plus the free electric violet Courtisane boots that've flooded the feeds (most def worth a grabbie).
It's brrrr where I'm headed. Glaced love + fashionista kisses to all!
