It's getting hot in here...

... so take off all your... erm!

But it is seriously hot in France at the moment, I am melting on my chair! I hope the weather is more viable wherever you guys are.

Anyway one of my favie store, because it has such gorgeous textures, Seldom Blue has a limited offer to celebrate their new release the Francesca Satin dress range. They are offering this delicious little morsel of a dress on the left for only 1L and as an introduction sale they reduced one of the set of the dress for 100L only instead of the usual 465L. You can see me wearing it on the right and it comes with a lot more skirts options believe me!

The reduced dress pack and the 1L one can both be found in the gown section of the store.

In case you haven't heard about it yet the Pro Posers hunt, with only poses stores, started on the 15th of August and goes on until the 30th! Since I don't know if we will end up doing that blogpost with all the prizes as we first intended to do because we are busy (read: lazy) I thought I would at least show you the prize I made for my store Pffiou!.

It's a 5 people group pose that you can use on your own or with others since you can hide the poseballs. And yes the fence comes with the poses.

HoPo gifts :)

Hodgepodge, or HoPo as it's lovingly called, is a new sim. You know what that means: gifts. I only went to a few stores, as I was a little pressed for time, but what I grabbed was wonderful. Don't let me tell you how fab they are, see for yourself! I'll just sit here and eat my Tres Leches ice cream while you browse the pics of the pretties I scored for free and on the cheap.



From Sugarcube & Otaku Designs:

Dress is a group gift from Sugarcube, necklace is a group gift from Otaku Designs in-world group.

Somatica Sweetness.

I went exploring around the Starlust sim, Elliot. Okay, okay, not exploring...hunting for clams (for their Panty Raid hunt), when I ran into a new-to-me place called Somatica. On the wall, they had a fetching freebie: a red cardigan, a blue with black hearts panty & bra set and a pose! I couldn't resist buying the yellow companion bra & panty set right next to the freebie (a steal at $50L), either. I can't turn down a bargain, dudes.



Wear it with or without the cardigan! The free pose the outfit comes with is on the right. :)


The yellow bra & panty set is below. I took this pic at home. I was in a weird, silly mood. I got the stove (1 prim), the frying pan with a Sion egg & the rolling pin (complete with an angry wave animation) from XstreetSL.com for free or cheap.

I love Barb & Ava, those Kunglers girls. They love giving gifts out to their groupies! What's more, if you wear your group tag at their store and purchase a specially marked outfit (there's a gold star with a 'K' on them), you get a special group discount! This week, the ladies have done it again with an outfit that is full of WIN!



Fabulous group gift from Kunglers!


Intricately detailed and made with lovely textures, this outfit is gorgeous. Just join the group! You'll want to stay in their group, since they regularly spoil their devotees with gifts and the aforementioned group discounts.

A quick post before I go back to goofing off in-world. I popped over to this random sim by accident and ended up scoring a really cute freebie from a new-to-me place called Mixx Ethnic Style (the store's sign says "Zest Mixx" also). Their main store is located here, which is where you can snag the group gift (in-world group) on the wall -- just wear your group tag.

It's also worth mentioning that LionSkins has a $10L sale going on at the moment (until the 15th) on all of their "Su" skins, which will be discontinued. If you don't go stock up on these lovely skins, you're crazy!

As usual the lucky board at Belle Belle are set for group members only so wear your tag proudly and stalk that board folks!

Hot stuff.

Whether you're a seasoned freebie hunter or a fashionista flashin' stacks of cash around everytime you shop (or a combination of the two in the case of the Cupcakes), JE*Republic is a must on your list. Not only does this great (and in my opinion, still underrated) store have glamorous couture (dresses that grace Modavia supermodels), everyday wear, jewelry, purses and hair...but they've also got some quality prizes for those lucky enough to win them from their three lucky boards. I previously blogged about some of their lovely past prizes here and here. The dress I'm about to show you, you've seen, albeit, in two different colors. Previously, they were available in a lovely bronze color (from The Most Random Hunt Ever hunt) and 'murk' (still available in one of the lucky boards). This time, however, we see the dress in a deep, alluring green called 'spring'.



This dress comes with two skirt options: with and without the jewels. Strike a pose.


Earlier today, Jungeun Vella, the headmistress of JE*Republic, snuck up on me and let it slip that she had put a new, summery hairdo in the lucky board. This, of course, is what prompted the hasty field trip (which was perfectly timed, as I was able to score the sweet green dress pictured above when I TP'd in). Oh, while you're at it, be sure to grab the pink high heel from the Cinderella's Lost Slipper hunt that's in the store. You'll be able to get a pretty dress (that I previously blogged) and a cute purse with a holding pose (pictured below).



Cute, tomboy-ish style - now in the lucky board at JE*Republic!


I had to wander around the store...I couldn't help myself. I grabbed a few things and darted out before I parted with more Lindens. Yes, going to JE*Republic is detrimental to your Linden account, but trust me: you'll never have buyers' remorse.

Love in White

When you think of V-Fashion, you think of elegant, graceful and sophisticated dresses. VictoriaV McMillan doesn't make an exception for the free gifts she gives out, including the new August gift. It's white, lacey, satiny and gorgeous.



Classy in white.


'How can I get that really pretty dress?' you ask? Just pop over to V-Fashion and grab a Look Book from one of the kiosks. You can either wear it as a hud or drop it on the floor. Whatever you decide to do, open it and boom -- the dress is on the first page. There are two tabs: a yellow one that says 'buy' and a red one that says 'gift'. Touch the 'buy' tab. Soon, you'll get the dress dropped off on you. Simple as that! Enjoy your gift and don't forget to join V-Fashion's subscribo!

A real quick post 'cause I have a bunch of stuff to do that I've been procrastinating on. I know, I know -- bad Pumpkin!!

RockBerry has a gorgeous set of Uma skins for the Dog Days Of Summer hunt/Fusion sim official grand opening. Just grab the delicious hot dog inside of the store. Heather Beebe is always so generous to RockBerry group members and non-members alike. She's one of my favorite creators because of the quality of her skins and the care she puts into them. Thank you Heather, for yet another fabulous gift!

Amerie's Naughty has a really cute brown summer gift skirt for their in-world group members. Flowy and dreamy, totally summery. You can get it either in the group archives or head over to the store with your tag on and get it from behind the counter. If you choose this method, you can also grab two previous group gifts (not shown): suspenders and a coat.
