SL Frees and Offers

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we're exploring stores who are part of the SLF&O or Second Life Frees & Offers group, which is free to join. The name explains the group fairly well, as a source of information on sales, new releases, special offers, and of course gifts :) Just have your group tag active and stop by any of their stores, look for the  red and white SLFO logo sign, and enjoy the gift if there is one. I am a huge fan of these multi-designer groups and have learned a great deal from their notices and inworld chats over the years.


My first look of the evening is our Carol's Store F&O Gift, a simply named halter dress with beautiful floral pattern. There are sizes for Erika, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Momma, and Reborn mesh bodies provided via HUD. I'm always drawn to halter style dresses or tops for some reason, and the ruching on this one just adds an extra flirty touch.


.:Bad Rabbit:. has a lovely gift for us called Metalli Dress Peach-Pink. There is something about a strapless dress, and the crinkled satin texture is so fun! In sizes for Altamura, Freya, Isis, eBody Classic, eBody Curvy, Kupra Bimbo, Low, Original, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Signature, Slink Hourglass, Star, Tonic Curvy, Tonic Fine, and Tonic Minim mesh bodies, the gift also includes a HUD with both colors shown here. This gift is on the wall of group gifts, way up top above their store's group (not free to join) by the SLFO sign and with a few other multi-designer group gifts.


I couldn't decide if this dress is meant to be leather or latex, so I chose a color that would represent each :) This is our W.G STORE - Selesty Dress gift, and the W.G stands for WildGirl. There are Erika, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn sizes provided, along with a HUD that offers 10 colors and 4 metals for the clasps on the back of the straps. Both the style and the sheen caught my attention, and the dress looks sizzling hot in every single color option!


Next stop is Telsiope's Couture, where their Manila dress can be found upstairs with lots of other generous goodies for various groups. The pattern on the fabric really caught my eye, as I couldn't decide if it looked embossed or embroidered at first glance. The long sleeves, deep neckline, and short hem all add up to a sexy look for chilly weather like I have right now in RL :) This gift consists of Belleza Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Erika, Khara, Kupra, Kups, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Peach, Prima, Prima Petite, and Reborn mesh body sizing.


My final look for this evening can be found at V8 Underground, and it's called **EMMA LESMY PURPLE RISQUE STYLE COMPLET OUTFIT**. They are another designer who generously offer gifts for many different groups and rotate them fairly regularly, as they were all Christmas themed the last time I checked which was quite recent. Enchanting Emma here includes the bodysuit, belt, and boots, each in Freya, Hourglass, Kupra, Kupra Bimbo, Kups, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn mesh body sizes. The chunky platform boots have a retro feeling to me, yet somehow modernized, which is hard to explain but I'm here for it!

I'm trying to refrain from ranting about the weather, but the farmers market already canceled for this coming Saturday because of another storm headed this way, so I'm not a happy camper. We got about 3" of snow overnight, and the temperatures are plunging (it's 14 degrees here now, yes that's F so below freezing) for about a week with snow again on Friday. That means no dinner with my parents on Friday either, so I'll need to come up with alternate food plans pretty quickly. The Saturday market is where much of my food usually comes from, so that's a problem. I will continue to check my email to make sure my therapy video session doesn't get postponed too, just trying to prepare for any possibility. My girl scout training from a million years ago is showing - be prepared? :) I hope you're all having a safe and cozy day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
