Vite to Vita's

Creator Vitabela Dubrovna has set out the most gorges red floral dress as a free thank-you to her customers. It's floofy, it's floaty + its the same shimmery sparkle that we've come to know + love from this elegant line. *mwuahs Vitabela Dubrovna*
This pic was taken at Vita's Garden SIM, which has so many pretty spots for an ethereally-vibed pic. Check the Styling Credits below for more fun gifties I'm wearing, like a $1L shimmery wreath by Atelier AM + this ridic honker of a diamond ring that's free by Crystal Line (the sparkly gem actually swirls + moves inside when you wear it, so fun)! A new Truth "Blake" hair (I love the side half-updo) finished this dreamy look.

Floaty florals love + fashionista kisses to all!

Swimwear: The Less Practical, The Better

Sometimes the least practical things are the absolute cutest. This is so the case with these free crochet bikinis by Crochet! (a store that is new to me + maybe new to some of y'all too) that I happened upon this week.
Here's the backside of this daring floral style. This would be right about the time that my Belleza Brazilian waxed skin would come in very handy. *mwuahs Tricky Boucher*
I'm also showing the hot pink strap version of the free clear tote bag by CoCo that Suri first blogged here. Wow I am so lucky that I own an ipad in SL! Now if only my RL would catch up.
Here I'm showing another cute blue + red crochet "Jamaica" 'kini style that you can grab for free here as well. -- I'm also wearing some of my recent Truth hair purchases, i.e. the reason I have no more $L at the mo'. Damn you Truth Hawks. *mwuahs Truth Hawks*
Here's yet another pretty gift to scoop here, this adorable free white crochet tank top.
Gavin is showing the latest free men's swim shorts + tank gift by Zenith. Kowabunga!
Gavin also found this wearable BBQ for free in the Before Dark hunt -- complete with grilled shrimps (and questionable-looking fish)! -- I really appreciate fun stuff like this that you can wear (so you don't have to worry about whether a location will let you rez stuff or not). -- Btw everyone, Gavin just lurves mustard. It's like, his fave to put on hot dogs. *giggles + ducks*
Now to get bikini ready in RL *winces*. 'Kini love + fashionista kisses to all!

British Invasion

A little birdie told me that Sey has a new group gift out, which was reason enough to have my regular look-see at their very generous "front counter" area. Join the group for $0L + then click the glass panels on the entryway desk; scoop away for oodles of free gifts (remember to click both glass panels; I think the newest gift is one of the belts here).
These free British flag jeans, free red goggles + free black flagged T is just 1 ensemble that you can throw together. I particularly thought this colored safety pins necklace was fun + cute. -- I knew I had some British flava when my proud Londoner friend Rene Caerndow told me so. (She loves to go on about London vs. NYC, etc.).

Peace, love & Marmite, baby. *mwuahs Rene, Suri + Creamy*
Gavin is wearing this lovely $1L T-shirt by Furious in honor of a certain tasty beverage (which btw has nothing to do with anything British). This grunge gear store is great (love the bloody tats here) + there's also a particularly rude T-shirt for free here in the Dark Katz hunt (look for a cat head somewhere on the higher stairs).
I will also randomly share that I tried a meat pie the other day for the first time (which Rene later informed me was "peasant food"). Love + fashionista kisses to all!

Blue Bonnet

One of my fave SL costume stores Deviance has a super-romantic new hunt gift that is really worth grabbing. This cornflower blue + gold studded look exudes a sweet girlish innocence with just a smidge of smexeh.
Attention to detail is what makes the Deviance clothing something special. For some reason to me, this outfit was also totally channeling that girl on the Blue Bonnet margarine box.
What? Margarine is bad for you? And I have too many hair accessories on? Double oh noes.
I paired this look with these free sky blue ankle strap stilettos by R2 (love the anklet ribbons on the back), one of my favie finds on the Cupid Heart Hunt (first posted by Anya Ohmai here with a great hint sheet).
The sexy schoolteacher red glasses are another free gift from the Cupid Heart Hunt + come with these unusual red shadows for the face.
This romantic Deviance outfit is a really generous one that includes tons of extras, like a longer full skirt option; single blue, light blue or white roses for the hair; your choice of blue or white ruffles for the arms, collar + skirt; 2 different colored stockings (blue or white); and even these pretty li'l baskets of blue, white, or mixed roses that you can carry.
This lovely gift is free in the Magic & Romance Hunt (you are looking for a red rose). Take the sLURL (and hint) below.

Hey, a li'l romance (or margarine) never killed anybody. Love + fashionista kisses to all!
