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!
xoxo

Now to get bikini ready in RL *winces*. 'Kini love + fashionista kisses to all!
This casual look is built around these gorgeously striped jeans. I kinda have a thing for striped legs (in any life) + these black/white striped ones by So What? come with a nice ripped texture too.
There's a massive closing sale going on at Pacadi Jasha. As an added incentive to TP on by, the subscribo is giving away these lovely bangles for free; check out the angled just-so positioning of these retro square bangles.
Check out the back view of this chunky necklace, which comes free with the bangles. Love the dramatic, double-ropes draping of these large brick-red beads.
The boots, tattoo + poses are also all free; you can see more close-ups of this skin gift on Suri here.
This back tat is one of the three $1L tattoo gifts at HUZ-Tats (I'm showing another one below). I'm fairly picky about angels wings + the intricacy here makes these a total standout. Since I wanted the lacey dress textures to really pop, I kept the accessories to a minimum -- adding only a Noju rose barette + the free new bejeweled bangle gift from Donna Flora. Free shiny icy-pink boots from Mz. Shoes finished this look.
Belleza creator Tricky Boucher has told me that he personally prefers blonde hair, so I'm wearing this pretty light blonde style from Magika with his fantastic skin here. *mwuahs Tricky* This modern, layered bob is part of the free fatpack containing tons of styles near the Magika entryway (+ for each style, you get the color fatpack!) So fun for mixing up your look.
This free MM board minidress by Relentless Couture/Volt is like a visit to my fashion happy place. The bright, colorful "splashes" popping thruout this silvery metallic material is just superfun. This "Cookie" side updo bun hair I'm wearing is one of 2 new styles included in the current free gift at Hairy Situations. -- Now I realize that this style is more than a little Princess Leia retro, but the soft brown color + loose curly tendrils are just so darn cute.
Check out the particularly cheeky bottom on this minidress: the buttie is having a grand day out in this thing. If you don't like quite so much hello to your rear parts, you could slip on a pair of tights or shorts + be good to go. Or just add it to your list of "parade around nakey at home" stuffs.
Yeah yeah, the shamelessly poseur "girl on car" photo. Sometimes you just gotta embrace your inner le cheesy. Right, Sileny? *giggles*
I'm wearing another of the $1L gifties out by HUZ-Tats here. I have to say that I'm living for this imprinted navy blue ink -- both unusual + eye-catchingly pretty. *Note: HUZ-Tats is currently having a 50% off sale so it's a great time for a browse. Their henna + full-body tiger body stripe designs are particularly unique here, for anyone who likes those styles.
These double-wrist, multi-texture gold cuffs are free courtesy of the lucky chair at Dark Mouse. -- A tip for anyone looking to build their jewelry wardrobe: if you add Dark Mouse to your Profile Picks, wait 24-48 hours for it to activate, after which you can come back daily to get a different free jewelry set by tapping the Profile Picks gift giver sign. -- I'm wearing one of these gifts as a necklace here (the gifts rotate out daily). Plus you typically get a whole jewelry ensemble (not just a single piece) -- so generous. Thank you Mouse! *mwuahs*
