Slapping Boards, Chair Sitting, and Group Gifts...Second Life Fashion Doesn't Have to be Noobishious!

I love to slap boards, sit on Lucky Chairs, and grab Group Gifts (GG)!  But, have you ever felt that most of the stuff you get from them is just crap???

I toss out most stuff, but I do a lot of "Charity Slaps" to help a sister or brother out to lock a Midnight Mania Board.  However, I do get lucky, a lot, with GGs.  Today's outfit is an example!!!


The dress is another from Ricielli and is called Ruched Dress /emerald.  The designer is Fhara K. Ricielli (fhara.acacia).  I picked it up as a GG, I believe.  It has great detail and comes in two color patterns for mesh.  You can check out this dress and other good stuff at http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Ricielli/128/128/2



The shoes are by :Diamante and they are called Armory.  The designer is Alliana Aviatik Morane (alliana.petunia), and these cool shoes can be picked up at http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Dark%20Eternal%20Rose/128/128/0



The hair is another style from Magika called Calm.  It is designed by Sabina Gully and can be found at http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Magika%20Land/128/128/2


The necklace is by Pure Poison and is called Boho Time Necklace.  It was a GG at http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Magika%20Land/128/128/2

Spiked Boobs...Only in Second Life?

I love today's outfit!  Where in the world can you wear a dress with spiked boobs?




The overall look is great, and I would wear this to The Club 
(http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Jai/128/128/2) where I both hang out and work as hostess.  

The dress is made by R.icielli  and is called QUEEN.  The designer is Vliet Ricielli (vliet.troncon). I believe it was a GG when I got it. But, if not, it less than 100L.  You can find this and other great clothes at  https://marketplace.secondlife.com/orders


This is the AMAZING hair that I stumbled upon from my fellow blogger, Leyla.  It is called Serene, created by Salina Gully at Magika Designs.  It isn't free, but for 250L, you can't go wrong.  She has a lot of great designs, and if you are into the elf thing, she has hair for elves and stuff, too.



Get the Hair!

The necklace was a Going Out of Business sale item from ECCO. They closed today, and I am very sad about that, as they were a great jeweler. I have lot of their stuff, and I love it all. The bracelets, cameo rings, and star earrings are also from them.

The shoes complete the outfit because those studs are super cute and catchy!  They were either a Midnight Mania board gift or a Group Gift at Hilly Haalan which can be found at https://marketplace.secondlife.com/stores/141517.

Sweet and Sassy ~ How I Dress my Avatar


When I create an outfit, I first choose my skin and shape.  Usually I default to a few that I like, and this one, below, is my favorite.   The shape is called Prissy For ColdLogic Brown Dress Up for Slink created by my friend ναℓℓαяiє.


Once I pick out my shape, I decide on a skin.  There are several skins that I love, but this one, Sue Gift-Cleavage-Bronze by Ana Smith (anasmith12) can be found at https://marketplace.secondlife.com/pt-BR/stores/116496  When I got it, it was free.


My next step is to pick the clothing I want to wear.  I have lots of outfits, and most of them are free. But, I only pick up nice stuff that isn't leftover from 2008.  I like mesh, and I use SLink.  I do not use Lolas, Tangoes or Phatazz.  

I picked up the mesh outfit below, Mesh_Tess Dress L white/black by MW Boa,  https://marketplace.secondlife.com/stores/67299.  The free gift includes the bracelets and the earrings.


I don't use purses or clutches in SL, but I do love jewelry.  In this gift, there were nice earrings and bracelets.  I added a necklace that I picked up for free at Ecco.  Sadly, they have gone out of business. 




Once I figure out jewelry, I look at my hair.  I almost always wear blonde hair, but sometimes I wear black.  I use mesh hair only.  

Free hair is great, but sometimes free hair can really suck.  So, be careful what you click on!  

I look for hair sales, and the hair I love the most is made by Truth.  It is currently on 99L sale!  The hair pictured below is called "Carrie" and can be found at https://marketplace.secondlife.com/stores/13







Finally, I pick out shoes that match the look.  In this case, I am wearing free glass slippers (BPd Tale of happily everafter SP Fairytale ending glass slipper) that I got at Beyond Persuasion found at https://marketplace.secondlife.com/stores/34749  They have a lot of great designs in their shop, too.  You can find out more about them on Facebook, Flickr, or their Blog.


Oh, one last thing....I wear glasses that I bought in SL when I was a noobie way back in the day. They are my signature "Desi" item that ties together my love of education and my love of fashion.  They are called "Book Worm Glasses 2" and were created by Ninja Petion.
