Those are not beetles, Duh!

Hey look at that... It's Wednesday again!

Anyhoo... There's a new store open in the Creators pavillion, Beetle Bones. Now I could turn this into a biology class & wonder about this name, because beetles don't have bones, do they? Orrrr I could say, "Hey look! Pretty dresses!" If you don't mind, I will go for option 2 :D
The sneakers I'm wearing with the cute dresses are from Duh! Like with every new release, there's a lucky chair version, a dollarbie in the store & a subscribo gift (this last one is not shown here). All the sneakers are texture change, for maximum mix 'n matching & minimal storage usage in your inventory :-))
In the Ivalde store you can find a new groupgift. Make sure to wear your grouptag to get the dress!

Cherry dress, 0L, Beetle Bones
Brown dress, 0L, Beetle Bones
Unisex skater shoes, 1L, Duh
Primaries sneakers, Lucky chair, Duh

Yummies!

Sh*t Happens is a store with cute clothes -- and they just so happen to have a sale going on at the moment at their Horst location! You can grab some sweet deals, like the running shorts I'm wearing in the pic below (a whopping $15L) for a limited time. While I was browsing around, I grabbed these two dollarbie tees. I paired them with these black & white 'Starry Night' flats (a very reasonable $30L...and they come in a variety of colors) & a yummy strawberry popsicle (pay $1L to the fun random vendor...you may get this or some other yummy treat!), both from With Sugar On Top. The location I'm linking to is a temp locale at a !Doux Petite Dahl flagship store, so don't freak out. Just look around and you'll see the board for WSOT.



Get some sweets.

Speaking of !Doux Petit Dahl, I snagged their in-store freebie: this adorable boho-style shirt!



I also kept playing with the random vendor for more sweets..lol


If you're a member of the Tuli in-world update group ($250L), you might already know about this, but I'll go ahead and post it anyway. Go to the Tuli store, activate your group tag, and go towards the big tree. To the left of the tree is a red & white mushroom. Click it and you'll get the exclusive group gift -- some lovely skins in various tones and a very pretty white blouse.



Tuli is a very generous creator...join her group and you won't be disappointed!


If you're already a member of the Ornamental Life subscribo, you *might* have gotten these cute lingerie freebies, unless, like me, you accidentally declined the offer. Fortunately for you, you can pop over to the store and hit the subscribo and get them! Just touch the SOM board, hit 'messages', then go through the messages until you find the one entitled "Freeeeebies" (or something like that -- haha). Also, the skin I'm wearing in this picture is a freebie from KA Designs' profile pick reward program. Just put them in your picks, wait a few days, go back and touch the sign and bam! You got yourself a new skin!



Five free sets of lingerie! Yippee!

Fabulous, but not free:
Hair: Refuge (pics#1 & 2), Tiny Bird (pics#3 & 4)
Jeans: (pic#3) G*Field
Skin: (pics#1 & 2): Curio

So I had this brilliant idea of doing all of the Slice of Summer hunt in 1 post... Not such a good idea Asthenia! So I'm trying to split it up in 3 posts (or uh... 4... who knows!)...
Btw, if you're not a fan of melons, this hunt probably is not for you! With that said, I bring you the slice of summer hunt, part 1...

Ma Vie En Rose

I was alerted earlier today about a new store called Tards. I popped over and looked over the small, but promising shop. Since it's a new place, the selection is limited, but they definitely have some cute and fun items!

There's a cute $10L rose costume that I really liked as well as the star anklets ($65L) that I'm wearing in all of the pictures in this post.


Pretty in pink.


Kunglers released a new group gift, an eye-catching dress that's perfect for summer! Full of vibrant colors, you're sure to turn some heads in this beauty. Plus, it comes with a bangle! Just join the in-world Kunglers' group! It's worth it, since Ava & Barbara give out lovingly made group gifts regularly as a way to say thank you to their supporters!



Gorgeous, vibrant colors are what make this dress a winner!


I received a DSN gift from a store called *Amaris* that had a very sweet-looking complete outfit (jeans & the top). Very summery. Also, I snagged the watermelon from the Slice of Summer hunt that Off-Brand Furniture is participating in. I was pleasantly surprised to find a cute bench with several poses (including cuddle poses).



Sittin' pretty.

Truly fabuloso, but it ain't free:
-Hair worn throughout the post: Tiny Bird (Girl Anachronism)
-Shoes: ETD


Poses used: Lazy Places, KiiToS, *V*Poses, Reel Expression


**Edit: Thanks Suri for letting me know about the link to Tards! Sorry if it confused anyone!**

Hippity hop & stuffs

In celebration of the opening of the Macos mall at the Hiphop sim, lots of the vendors there have put out gifts for us all, yay! So go & browse around :)
The flipflops I am wearing in this post were all free & I picked them up at the drowsy horror summer festival.
The tiny bikini is a limited time dollarbie from Emjay, if you want it... you better hurry!
And now I will go search for my wit... Bai!

Can you say "yum yum!"?

Good evening (or morning), Cupcakes! Yes, I know that I have been M.I.A. for the past few weeks, but I've been going through some personal stuff (I won't go into it), so I took a wee leave of absence. It feels good to write a post. It feels like home.

It's summer, so that means that there are tons of goodies out there! One of my favorite stores, **DP**yumyum, has a few goodies out. If you join their in-world group, Double Paradox, you can camp on a chair in the store (30 mins) and get this cute Black and White Rose Petal Dress.



Cute dress comes with everything you see here...except the shoes.


Another of **DP** yumyum's offerings is this very summery dollarbie skirt called Lemon Soda. It comes with two options.


One option has lemons, the other doesn't :)


In one of the corners of the store, I discovered a pile of boxes that contained $20L bracelets, among other things. In this pile, there is a $10L box that contains this bracelet and the brown belt that I'm wearing. There's also a black belt ($10L also, not pictured).



Cute belt and bracelet. Look cute for cheap!


I snagged some really pretty (and free) eyes from Poetic Colors. They're participating in the Slice of Summer hunt. Just look for the watermelon! The skins I'm wearing throughout the post are the free group gift from 5th & Oxford (formerly Fleur). It comes in three tones: fair, medium & tan. The hair, while not free, is the cute and newest style (Love Letter to Japan I & II) from Tiny Bird, one of my favorite stores. Autumn Hykova has a knack for whipping up fresh, sweet and lovely styles.



Lovely skin and free, gorgeous eyes are waiting for you!


Finally, MichaMi's DSN offering made me very happy. The Bustier & Cardie sample is sleek, sexy and stylish. I love the black prim belt that comes with it. Hopefully you all are registered with the DSN. If you are, but haven't gotten this yet, don't fret. They don't send it to every single person all at once. You may end up getting it a week or two down the line.



MichaMi makes me swoon!

Not free, but still fabulous:
-Hair: Tiny Bird (Love Letter to Japan I - with side-swept bangs & II - traditional bangs)
-Shoes: ETD
-Jeans: Last Call (no longer available)
-Bikini top: **DP** yumyum

Face is up there

Hello hello hello!

I picked up a nice dollarbie shirt from Salsa, only to notice it was covered in all kinds of stains when I put it on! (And uh yes, that is a condom hanging from the left pocket! Obviously, it's not mine...)
I also went to Emjay, where I found a nice shirt pointing out where my face is in case someone would forget ;-) There's also a cute cupcake shirt & matching boyshirts for free <3

Then I went to the elliott sim to pick up some cute dollarbie dresses from Random fashions, 3 colors and mucho T-shirts (not shown here) all together for only 1L! If you walk around you will find the store Somatica where there's an underwear set & red cardigan available for free. The lovely pose pointing out where the twins are is also included :)

Prelude sent out a new gift through the subscribo & informed us there were different colored versions of the gift at both store locations. So I hopped over to the mainstore & the location at the Malt sim to find the Marguerite dress in two new colors AND I found the Zouzou dress in pink & blue, all gifts for you!

Marguerite dress in blue, pink and violet (subscribo gift), 0L, Prelude

I also parked my lovely derriere on WTW's camping chairs at both the store locations & in return I got two cute lingerie sets. While I was camping I also picked up a dollarbie lingerie set at the Trenza location & adorable eyemasks for free at the Cherry location.
The ruffle bikini is from the lucky board at Chiluchilu.

Some Ibizarre Pixelldolls Djunk

Ohai-o!
Ibizarre has set out some new freebies a few days ago, all for the hot summer days: A striped top & white pants, short and a summery top and a summer dress for warm summer nights :) All available for 0L in different colored bags at Ibizarre's counter.
If you need a new bikini, you can pick up the tintable bikini from Pixeldolls. Tint it to match your every mood! This bikini comes with an untied version *eyebrowwiggle* and tanlines. So to make myself clear, you get 3 bikinis: the regular one, an untied one and the tanlines, all on the shirt/pants layer & the underwear layer.

Sexy Nerd

Okay I don't know about you guys but I am pretty excited about Harry Potter coming out on Wednesday! Go ahead and say it, I am a nerd I don't care! So anyway Brutus Martinek from Pididdle caught my mood perfectly by sending a Harry Potter survival pack to her subscribo members with a tee-shirt, glasses and wand for all of us die hard fans! Have a look at the wand and glasses featured in that picture.

Nr. 700

No, I couldn't come up with a better title... Luckily, this is also post number 700 on this blog (otherwise the title would have been totally lame, riiiiiight?)

First off, I found two free bikinis! An itsy bitsy one with dots, to show off everything you got and a lovely mauve one with a sheer cover up, when you want to leave a few things to the imagination of others :)
I also matched the top and sheer blouse from this bikini with jeans capris i got from a lucky board. The hair (with colorchanging hat) I am wearing with this is available for 1L at kik.

I also followed up on the tip Lanie left on our chatter box and went to pick up the free scene. You rezz the bubble, sit in it & it will fly you up and rezz a whole camping scene! It's rather primmy (about 200-ish), for my place anyways, but verrrry pretty! The logs around the fire all have multiple sit animations in them. If you need to be more intimate with a certain someone, you can sneak into one of the tents. They are all equiped with more cozy animations for two.
You will have to hurry, because this offer will end on July 10th (aka, tomorrow!)

Good-bye Crimson Shadow, thanks for all the dresses

So for those of you that have been following this blog for a while you know that I am a hard core Crimson Shadow lover. So it was to my grand dismay that I learned its sim as well as the Carnival of Doom and other rezzable sims are closing down.

There is however one silver lining to this, they are holding a closing sale! All Crimson Shadow items are 50L$ only! Be careful to check the prices though before purchasing as a lot of items are contributions with other designers and therefore still at their normal price.

So if unlike me you don't owe all of their dresses yet run there!

Both dresses 50L$ each, Crimson Shadow

Still in the sales news Joodle from WigWamBam was nice enough to notify me about a sale she is having on some of her clothes. All items on the second floor are part of it and prices are ranging from 35L$ to 70L$ as far as I saw. Plus to celebrate it she put a new dollarbie next to the entrance of the store, this cute little dress with leggings.
