For the Frugalistas

Creator Emychan Aichi reached out to me about her CandyMetal store recently + guess what? She generously offered to assemble some pieces I liked together in a $1L gift for us! *mwuahs Emychan Aichi*
The russet-yellow streaks of this fiery-orange miniskirt instantly caught my eye; a simple dark blue-gray shirt on top provided a dark contrast to really let these striking colors pop. A treacherous "spike" belt (it's mod, yay!) added a fun + random touch (you get another belt with headphones included in the gift too).

Here's a closer look at this skirt; check out the mini flames detail across the front. Le kyoot.
I wanted some tall boots to set off this look + I must say that I fell in lurves with the free riding boots by Nova that my good friend Linda Mensing recently blogged on her wonderful blog here. *mwuahs Linda Mensing* The muted black satin finish lends an elegant feel to this classic long boot; the single ankle loop + rounded toe shape is nice too.
Gavin's black button-down shirt is also by CandyMetal (this was his pick, which Emychan has also graciously set out for $1L). -- Gavin doesn't usually rock the "deep V-neck" look, but this wrinkled 3/4-sleeve shirt, paired with Gavin's fave Aoharu vintage denim, exuded a sexy, casual cool men's look. (There's also a more fitted pair of jeans included in the $1L gift too).
Gavin's accessory of choice here? Mouth condoms! This is 1 of several fun dollarbies at CandyMetal (there's a whole wall in back). There's various shiny "latex leggings" up for $1L grabs too (I never owned any so-called "liquid leggings" during that whole '80s fashion throwback in RL, but the black in particular reminded me of those). This $1L mouth condom, tagged saucily with the word "LOVE" in bright, colorful packaging, is 'specially for all you frisky avis. Safety first!
A huge *muwahs* to Emychan for setting out such lovely gifts for all us frugalistas. Love + fashionista kisses to all!

LP Means Living Pretty

Creator Liberty Shinn has set out a stack of free gift boxes in her LP Design store + I wanted to show you some of these pretty things. Check out the ornate detail on this lustrous, satiny top. *mwuahs Liberty*
The "crinkly" texture of this next free satin cocktail dress makes this simple design pop. I accessorized both of these clean white looks with a bronze, artifact-looking necklace by Alchemy Immortalis that I saw on Karla Scorbal's blog here. (You get the free ring I'm wearing if you complete the in-store short survey too).
This free blue lingerie dress is probably more boudoir then going out; luckily, I don't think Mother Nature minded here. I just luhs the tiny little black ribbon detail in the thigh slit. Living Pretty, indeed.
The 2 free hairs I'm wearing in thruout here come courtesy of Yuzukamiya. There's also another really cute free short braided bob style in the lucky board (in a luscious strawberry blonde color that you can see here).

Happy Monday everyone! Love + fashionista kisses to all!

Raspberry Yum

Quickie post to show you what's new in the LP Design lucky chairs. This free raspberry tank dress is such a luscious color + there's a pretty sequin texture on it that makes this simple design pop. And how fabby are these aqua "hand ropes" bracelets that curl around the fingers? These are the free group gift here (join the group for $0L + grab the square on the ground near the entryway). Such an eye-popping color contrast against the rich hues of this dress.
The back is done in a racerback tank style, so there's a bit of a sporty feel to it.
You can also still scoop the free November socks gift I'm wearing from Mischief (tap the subscribo, History, then 9) which I think are some of the best socks I've seen on the grid. You get an enormous fatpack of supercute stripey colors + the tiny ribbing textures are noticeably well-done. I find myself wearing different colors of these all the time.

There's 2 lucky chairs at LP Design for this dress (when I was there earlier this morning, they were set on 10 minutes flip time each). Grab all your friends with the alphabet names + scoop this raspberry yummieness!

Love + fashionista kisses to all!
