Happy Valentine's Day!

Some people hate Valentine's Day but I like it because 1.I like pink and red 2.I like those chalky heart candy things and 3.It gives me an excuse to tell my friends I love them without sounding like a creeper.  I put together this outfit with some fun free, cheap and not free things for you today.  My tights, skin and hair are not free but they are from the Back to Black event which is really important to me.  The event is to promote awareness of mental health issues and you can find facts posted all over the venue as well as inside of purchased items.  My dress is from Cupcakes and is one of many lucky chair prizes.  Love this color!  My stockings are from Sleeping Koala and come in a version with fishnet in the open panels as well.

 I want to show a close-up of the contents of the cute little Valentine's gift from Deviant Girls.  Normally I don't like anything with a brand name on it but "Deviant Girls" is such a cool name I like this anyway. My lipstick kiss is a subscriber gift from Izzie's.  It comes in a few shades of pink and red to match your look.  My little mouth heart candy is from RezIpsa Loc and is only 5L per try in the gacha at the Love is in the Air event at the Cupcakes sim.  My hair is from Mina at Back to Black and comes with the matching hair bases as well.

My boots are not free or from Back to Black, lol, but they are a new release from A-Bomb and I adore this store so you get to see them anyway. :P

Finally, I want to say happy Valentine's day to everyone.  I firmly believe we have some of the best people as our readers and I adore you all!  We should all celebrate Valentine's day by spoiling ourselves with yummy treats in RL as well as SL!  Om nom nom.  You can grab this berries and cream set (with rez and wear options as well as a cute cookie I haven't shown) on the lucky board at Circa.  Live it up!

Snow Bunny

The Lucid sim is having a Snow Bunny event until Friday, February 11.  Five of the sim's stores are participating and it gives you an opportunity to pick up some cute items for few Lindens.

My shop, (census), is offering an adorable new shape, January, that will be available for only 50 L during the event.  After that it will be available at it's normal price.  I'm showing the shape below with (nushru's) Puff Snow Bunny dress.  It comes in 7 yummy colors for only 40 L each or as a fatpack.  I love the asian texture used in the dress.

*RezIpsa Loc* has darling Snow Bunny T-shirts.  They come in a pack with both a pink and blue version and have all the layers you need to wear them either tucked or untucked.  I paired them with the latest freebie from Hoorenbeek.  The lilac snowboots are available as a subscriber gift.  Generally, his gifts require you to be a subscriber for at least 2 weeks, so go slap it and return and touch the vender for these cute boots.  They come in several different version for lots of versatility

Two designers are offering adorable homes for cheap at the event!  buttons. has a charming lil' cottage for only 50 Ls.  It is only 51 prims and modifiable and copiable.  It has 2 floors.

A.D.D. Andel! has offered the first in her series of Seasons Skyboxes.  The winter one comes with tons of options.  It totals 84 completely rezzed and includes a full-moon sphere to provide winder effects. There are options to not rez the tree, planter, snowdrifts and snow particles to keep it very low prim. \ My photos could not do it justice so I taking the liberty of showing her ad.  You can pick it up at the bargain price of 75 L during the event.

While at Lucid you might want to poke around some of the stores for some cute freebies and cheapies from independent designers!  And! Before I forget, the poses I'm using are from Exposeur and are at a very special price of only 50 L over the weekend.  They are called Top Model - Spring 2011 and includes 14 poses!  It's a complete steal so go get them!
