A short and sweet post about skins. First off, I love skins, even though I rarely change one for long, having different ones helps with costumes, taking pictures and such.. and they're just fun! Right now there are so many great free or cheap skins out!

I think I run like a lunatic every time someone announces a free skin... I've had to pick through the ones I've gotten and decided to show you 5 of my favorites that I've collected in the past week or so. Hurry over to the LMs I've included incase they're gone soon!

1) YS&YS @ The dressing Room - Adrianna Technicolor (Cheap - I think 70L$) 2) Viv.a Free Skin  (Free)
3) Luxeskins - FATE - Tan - Coral/Cateye (cleavage) (Free - group gift)

I've been watching the fashion feeds lately, and I came across an adorable pair of Flower Pumps in one of the freebie groups. I TP"d over to snatch a pair and found, to my surprise and delight, the entire contents of the store filled with adorable outfits. To my extra joy (GASP) they were having a 50% off sale!!

Said store is S@BBiA and I found them glossed over a bit in the other feeds, so here is their very own spotlight. When you enter the store, be sure to look around. There's an upstairs, downstairs, lucky boards and FREEBIES for group members.

Left to right - S@BBiA - Houndstooth jacket, dark black, Sweater, white, Culottes: Black (75L total)
S@BBiA Blue Dress - Group Gift #13
S@BBiA Pink dress - Group Gift #10
S@BBiA Sunflower shirt and beige shorts - Group Gift #15
S@BBiA shirt dress new: Black (50L)

The 50% off sale is awesome too, but I think its only on until Aug 1, so be sure to get down there ASAP. If you miss the sale though, don't be scared to drop by - their prices are very very very reasonable and the outfits.. completely adorable!!!

This is one update group that I'll sacrifice a much coveted group slot for. I can't wait to see what they come out with next!!

The other things I've sort of haphazardly included in this post is some great poses from  .:Ks2cool: in the Proposers hunt. This is a set of great poses that come with a handy-dandy "use anywhere" pose hud. I freakin' LOVE IT! Also, the skin I'm wearing is a freebie available inside by the fireplace at Russh Lussh. There's a set of a bunch of Jaquelyn skins, so don't click just one - other options are in other bags! Enjoy the finds!

Standing perfectly dressed up in insilico and holding my hand in my face to prevent that anybody could see me.

Lolita fashion was invented in Japan. The girls who are into that style normaly wear kneelength skirts, headdresses and love pretty parasols. On wikipedia there is an article about this style of fashion. Here i like to show some dresses which belong in my opinion to that style and which are available for free in second life.

So here the dress from the first picture. It comes from a store named violent seduction which mainly sells dresses like that. I like the bows around the skirt very much and its amazing how the designer uses a pinstripe pattern, which is normaly conected to business outfits, for a cute dress.

Dress: Violent Seduction - Pinstripe Lolita (0 Linden lucky chair)

This dress comes with a cute headdress and a skirt in two lengthes. Its all a bit sheer so im not sure if its not more lingerie than a dress.

Violent Seduction - La Petite Nosferatu (0 Linden lucky chair)

Here three more dresses from the violent seduction lucky chair. The one on the left is for pirate lolitas. It comes even with a peg leg - its also very useful in roleplay - and a sabre. The head and the eyepatch make the outfit complete. The one in the middle and the right do have skirts which look more like phantoms but both have a giant bow on the backside. The cut of the tops is quite sexy.

Right: Violent Seduction - Ero Lolita (0 Linden lucky chair)

This dress from Ruru@tear might be a bit to short for a gothic lolita but its very cute and at the moment a gift in the unknown hunt. So you only have to search for the hunt item to get it and there is no need to wait for your letter.  It comes with a rosehead dress and also a rose attatchment on the chest. S For the picture i used a pose which will soon be released by no strings attatched.
