The Free-est Xmas Ever

There's a supercute event happening at the Cheeky Pea SIM that's perfect for us frugalistas wanting a li'l holiday cheer. Precociously named Mr. Scrooge's Christmas Village, these tiny cabins feature nice-quality items that are nearly all free, from gingerbread cookies to snowmen "scenes." (A few items are not; just check everything before hitting "Buy"). -- This entire table of goodies was free, from the flickering "wreathed" candles to the lonely mittens stewn on the corner. Awwws.
This is me bundled up in a "kids" outfit I saw on the feeds that I thought was an absolute steal (this hearts-textiled hat, boots, dress, mittens & scarf are all new + $50L today). This felt fitting 'cuz its uber-cold in my RL neck of the woods. Brrr.
I'm also showing a pretty frex skin that newly debuted this week by I Ce Coco (another free skin gift also awaits you in the group Notices; check my post on Free*Style today for a pic & deets). -- I luhs how glowy Leona's skins are + this one is no exception. *mwuahs Leona Olivieri*

Holiday steals love + fashionista kisses to all!

Miss Frosty

Winter White is one of my fave reasons to break out the white fur + other snuggly wuggliness. Which is why I just died when I saw this drop-dead gorgi white fur collar + minidress free from B&T, scooped by my lovely gf Holli Thespian. (You da best Holls! Mwuah!) This thing totally fit my "Miss Frosty" mood.
This poofy, dramatic fur collar didn't really need any extra accessories, so of course I just had to add some. *giggles* Just to do the whole white fur thing properly, I added the furry wrist cuffs from the current Girls Style free giftie for that li'l extra Miss Frostyness. Free white lace leggings from Daydream ramped up the cute for this look (check out the Styling Details below for a better view of the leggings).
One of my favie jewelry gifts at the mo' are these free "across the hand" rings by U&R Dogs. This meticulous level of detail is like a fashion tickle for the hands: see how these teeny tiny gem beads are "woven" around each finger? Yet there's something so gangsta about the way these fairy-delicate rings drape long + across the entire hand. This stylistic contast is just Deeply. Brill.
Free Christmas booties from Sentou Yousei topped off this look. Luh the white slouchy ankle parts and tiny golden snowflake accents.
I also wanted to show you 2 accessories alternatives in case you felt like dialing down the white fur factor for this Winter white look. Instead of the poofy fur collar, decorate your neckline with this stunning free "swirly globe" necklace from CCD. This round charm actually swirls and glows, adding an eye-poppingly dramatic touch to the neck. (I particularly like how realistically this jewelry store does their metalwork, even when its for a piece as fanciful like this).
Also, in lieu of the white fur wrist cuffs, you could add a touch of color to your wrists instead with these free jingle bells bangles by Apple May Designs. Love the way the red bows drape down towards the hands.

All this posing in the chilly air made me tres hongry for a li'l treat. When you're Miss Frosty, what better than a yummeh free snowflake to hold daintily in your mouth? Tast-eee.
Gavin and I were in a holiday kinda mood, so we hit the Mr. Scrooge store, a holiday store where everything is free. You can go nuts here for all festive fun stuffs (inventory, shminventory). Here's just a few of the things we scooped: this snow angels animation was way fun, and this pretty snow globe came with a cute rotating snowpeople couple inside. There was also reindeer, this snowman family snow scene + my favie, a mysterious "Festivus Pole" (not shown here 'cuz it kept vanishing off this SIM for some reason).
There were surrounding frozen ponds nearby, so I slipped on these free super girlie ice skates, which totally went with my Winter white. These come with the option of "animations off" + a pretty little secret: they leave a trail of small white stars wherever you go! *faints, dies*
See how Gavin "Danger Is My Middle Name" McGinnis + I totally scoff at danger.
What do you do when you feel like a snack, but just wanna snuggle with your food? Why, take a nappie-poo next to your own gingerbread man rug, o' course! This hunky (not tall), dark + handsome man-treat was a freebie from Prim & Pixel Paradise + is one of many to be found there (including a cute low-prim Christmas jukebox that plays holiday music from various radio stations, also for free).
My friend Nikita Weymann of Grimalkin Workshop passed me this lovely wooden writing desk as her lovely gift in the Candy Cane hunt. These little cookies + steaming mug of coffee will so help me get thru my Xmas cards easy this year. I love the little banker's light on top too. This Xmas cards thing is serious bizness.
Speaking of which, I just had to hop on Santa's lap to ask for some fashionista goodies.

"Hi Santy Claus. Miss Frosty has been tres good this year."
"Santy Claus? Who in hell is Santy Claus?"
And now I really must get going on all my RL holiday biznatches! *painfully hauls self away from computer* Love + fashionista kisses to all!

Dreaming of (Free) Lavendar + Pink . . . with Martial Arts

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 tummy 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!
