Gifts are rollin' fast + hard on the grid. Between all the superfun holidays stuff, oodles of hunts + the generally festive mood, December already feels like
freebies madness month (and it's only the start of the month!)
Many
free or
$1L gifts in scrumptious pink + lavendar hues offer a welcome departure from the current
Red & Green Bandwagon, like this
free December group gift from
Digit Darkes. This
deee-eeep scoopneck + shimmery lavendar color make this simple dress a standout. (This minidress also comes with a fluttery trailing bustle which I left off here).

I was in a tarty kinda mood, so I paired this look with the big
free hair from
Nouveau Miranda that's been all over the blogs (this "Amber" color is my fave). And check out this awes
$1L Christmas lights hair accessory from
Trixxy's. This thing is like wearing a
Lite Brite headband: miniature holiday lights blink on + off in various pretty colors (including
pink!)

Because these lights are on the petite side, you get a "winking" colored lights effect that is just lovely. Plus unlike most headbands, this one sits
across the forehead, Bohemian-style. Kinda like a hippie Xmas
accoutrement. For hair.
The ongoing
Fri.day sale means the perfect excuse (I mean, reason) to pick up some pretty hairs. Each of these were a reasonable
$75L each (the fatpacks I saw were
$300L). I particularly appreciate the way
Fri.day adds a noticeable
height to even its most basic styles; this seemingly small detail
hugely impacts your hair's
smexeh factor. -- Here I'm showing 2 versions (long + short) of their "Jasmine" style. See how the crown puffs up slightly in the center?


Sweeping, sexy bangs is another look that
Fri.day totally
nails, giving classic updo styles like this "Lucy.2" style that extra
oh-la-la. See what I mean about the height thing?

These
in-your-face bangs in the"Rashelle" style are
The. Smex.
I've been wearing this
free links necklace gift by
CentoPallini with everything. It comes with 2 versions with different attachment points (every jeweler in SL should
please do this!) so you can double up and wear 2 at a time if you like. More importantly, it won't interfere with any spine attachments (like fur collars or other necklaces) that you might wanna layer it with.

If you're like me, your t
ummy always starts rumbling just when you hit your shopping stride. This free mouth nom by /ME is so handy to ward off those inevitable treats cravings. This one comes complete with note
to myself that reads
"Merry Christmas From ME.
" Super clever for a li'l mental pick-me-up.

The
Girls Style store has some pretty
free gifts out right now. This look combines 2 of this store's newest
freebies for a warm, layered look.

It's all about the mix + match. See how the first
free shimmery lavendar
Digit Darkes miniskirt
totally works well here instead, if you wanna ramp up this look into something sexier?

Check out this back detail too. This long lavendar sleeves look with the hot pink cable-knit texture on top is
tres perky for Wintertime.

These
free glittery snowflakes lashes are super pretty. (I had some trouble editing them since as you can see, I didn't get them exactly right). Still, these teeny tiny snowflakes stuck in the lashes are
tres cute. They are
just the thing to channel my Fairyland mood. I paired these with my beloved,
oh-so-liquidy Negaposi "Water" eyes in the icy blue "Azur" color (love that all of their eyes are a very reasonable
$30L).

I'm so living for the new
Curio "Winter" skins series (both 1 + 2) and this "Frost" skin with the angelic icy blue makeups + light pink frosted lips is just
beyond. (FYI
nothing is
free about these exquisite skins, and the fatpacks really are a better deal). Both of the "Winter" series give you these lush, rosy cheeks for that sensual,
I-just-got-me-some face.
To. Die.
One of my go-tos for
smexeh gear,
House of Hucci, had a lovely
free gift out for the recent Glitterati SIM opening (it was still there earlier this week). It's basically a pink sequin party for your body (complete with a luxuriously thick, waist-cinching belt). Plus I am
forever in love with backless style. So so so
smex.

Here was
Gavin showing me how much he liked this dress by demonstrating his
Spiderman-like sense of balance.
These huggable Frosty arm toys (another free Snowflakes Hunt gift) were way fun to play with. At least Gavin seemed to think so.

Since this
smexeh outfit was
purrr-worthy, I totally had to slip on this
free white tiger hat + mittens
Snowflakes Hunt gift from
Cutie Honey. Looky the inside of the tiger ears:
pink!

The mittens are script-resizable too, which is great if you have tiny hands (in both SL + RL!) like
moi.
Gavin preferred the
free Candy Cane Hunt gift also from
Cutie Honey. His candy cane-striped ears + tail kept twitching all night. Here kitty kitty.
"I am the white tiger and therefore your superior genetic forerunner. Recognize." Miao.

The new December
$1L gift from one of my all-time favie stores
The Plastik includes this long-sleeved cutout dress in a rich, purple-brown wine color that is so flattering on
every skin tone (a thoughtful touch that makes
/me heart them even more).

I paired this dress with one of the cutest (and most detailed) fur mufflers I've ever seen. It's by
UchU and this lush,
yummeh peachy-pink color is exceptionally flattering for any skin tone.

You get matching earmuffs + this playful "stars antennae" headband too. (For anyone who has time to browse this supercute store, there's also a
free keychain available + a giant rotating snail with
extremely phallic eyes that's worth a look-see).

Check out the teeny tiny stars embedded inside the fur lining. Aren't they
ahhhdorables? I
luh this level of crazy detail.

This
free "snow grass" gift from the
Snowflake Hunt is one of the coolest hunt gifts ever.
Totally goes with the
free snowflakes emitter you can find in
the I<3> group gift for an ultra-snowy Wintertime effect. See how little these snowflakes are? Its so relaxing to see these tiny guys fluttering all around you.
There's also many ridic cute non-hunts gifts out now. Check out this free low-prim sparkly particles tree from Candy Nail (the particles float down in lavendar + pink!) Notice the lovely detail around the base of this tree -- it's a little bowl made out of lavendar + hot pink mosaic tiles.

These
$1L snowflake globes lights at
!SyDS! were such a find. They come in 2 sizes each in red, green + white colors and are such an awesome touch to any windowsill. The glowy white color is my fave.

It's kinda hard to see, but check out this
free "Winter Breath"
by
Clover (you wear it). Mmmmm my breath is
tres minty-fresh. Either that or
Gavin and I are magically smoking
sans ciggie.

In case you hadn't noticed, martial arts poses are
tres fitting with this girlie lavendar pink stuff. All of the badass poses used thoughout this post are from
Niqotine -- where
all poses fatpacks (and many others too)
are totally + completely free. (No idea how long this
freebie bonanza is gonna last, so any photogs might wanna skip on over to scoop these ASAP). Here's
Gavin demonstrating his roundhouse kick technique. Pretty good huh?

It's also worth noting that these
free poses are some of
the finest martial arts poses around -- you can tell that someone who
actually knows (or has studied) something about RL martial arts created these. Plus you just
gotta love a store that labels its fatpacks names like "Scary Bitch." Hee.
I'm off to dip myself in some lavendar pink frosting to round up this whole girlie color thing properly. Love + fashionista kisses to all!
xoxo
