Eternally Yours

This mesmerizing gaze fully captures the beauty of the latest group gift from Ikon - Eternal Eyes in Green.  The subtle variation in hues from gold to green with a glossy sparkle create an appeal that just cannot be denied.  You have only a short time to join the Ikon in-world group (it's free!) and receive these gorgeous eyes. 

Nathalie in Lacey Goldleaf

I love the first weekend of the month, because of all the wonderful group gifts that become available.  Nathalie, with lavender toned eyeshadow, is the November gift from Filthy skins.  She comes with four different tones varying from dark to cream, as well as a shape, which I am not wearing in this photo.  Although this group is not free to join, the monthly gifts are well worth the joining fee.  When you join, there are other gifts available for a small fee including make up, lip gloss and red lips.  In this photo, I have layered Opal LipColor Contessa from Mock Cosmetics and Lipgloss 01 from the Filthy group offer.  My Utopia Eyes in Deep Purple from Ikon are framed with Honoriable Eyeliner in Black from Mock Cosmetics and Mozz tattoo layer lashes.  I love the way my silver tresses from Truth (called Siri) fall in soft waves leaving one shoulder bare.

This stunning outfit called Goldleaf Vanilla-Lace is one of the offerings for Sixty Linden Weekend.  With creamy silk embellished with metallic golden accents that flows with every step, I feel like a goddess in this gown.  Also included, but not shown in this view are matching sandals which have an easy to use HUD so you can customize the tint of the feet.  I was pleasantly surprised to see that I only had to slightly fine-tune the shade of the skin and was able to perfectly match my new Nathalie skin.

Urban Mayhem

Amid the bustling chaos of the city, I'm taking a break in my new Mayhem outfit from T&A Designs.  This Lucky Board prize comes with the shrug, bra, netting, hand warmers, cuffs and suspenders you see here, plus the option of wearing just the bra and short shorts with and without suspenders, too.  Of course, now that it's November, I decided to wear the longer version of the outfit.  While you are at T&A Designs, create a pick for the store, make sure your profile is available in search, then tap to board to get a second gift shown below.  I've decided to wear J's Short Lace Up boots with this outfit.  Although they are not free, I like their rugged style and felt they were a perfect fit. 

Speaking of free, have you joined Ikon's in-world group yet?  Beginning at midnight tonight, the monthly group gift will be set out.  It's only going to be yours for the tapping until Monday night, so don't delay on this one.  My Horizon Eyes in light green were not free, but they are from Ikon.  In my opinion, eyes from Ikon are the best available in SL!  You can be sure I will travel to Ikon myself this weekend and pick up the November gift. 

I am wearing my usual Chloe skin in Tan from Belleza, Funsies Eyeliner in smoked senna from Mock Cosmetics and tattoo layer lashes from Mozz, all of which I have blogged previously.  My hair in these first two pictures is Courtney in espresso from Truth.  I love the spunky, layered bob. 

In this photo you can see Morwyn, the profile picks reward from T&A Designs.  You can wear the shirt and the vest as I have shown, or if you are feeling more daring, just the vest.  The soft gray in the shirt is echoed by the zippers and the frayed section in the jeans included with the outfit.  The pants come with and without a belt, in boot cut and this flared version.

Sweet Golden Caramel

With a delicate floral pattern and soft yellow hue, Sweet Gold Tunic Dress from Victoria Endsleigh Couture is sure to flatter your avatar.  It was one of my fashion finds from FIFTY5 Thursdays this week.  I don't know how much longer it will be available for this bargain price, but even at full cost, this feminine beauty is well worth your linden dollars.

Siren's Song

Mingling musically with the crashing of the waves along the shore and the call of the gulls, he caught a faint echo of the siren's song.  Her golden scales glistening in the sun beckoned him, and he could not resist her enchanting beauty.  Clad in this Nereida Mermaid - Goldfish Edition, you too will possess the alluring appeal of a temptress from the sea.  Included in this gift are the bracelets, belly ornament, mermaid belt and bubbles, as well as a crown I chose not to wear in these pictures. 

I had to show a close up of the flattering mermaid top complete with softly gathered trim and pearls.  Ultra feminine, sheer fins add a touch of grace.

Sultry and Diaphonous Peyton

While browsing the Marketplace, I found an incredible deal on a shape and a skin for you!  Meet the sultry Peyton from *Soulglitter* in light, pink ocean.  For only 10L, you get this stunning skin, Alana shape, physics layer, and Peyton's eyes which I did not wear for this shoot.  I cannot believe this gorgeous shape and skin are just 10L!  Except for adding Honoriable eyeliner in black from Mock Cosmetics, and tattoo layer lashes from Mozz, I have not touched the skin.  You get a ton of shape variations to choose from in this package with small to large cleavage sizes and quite a variety of eyebrow shapers.  Girls, this is certainly a deal you cannot look past!  Here, I am showing Peyton with Horizon eyes in Verdigris from Ikon (formerly Fashism).  These eyes were a group gift, although sadly, they are no longer free.  The good news is that it's almost time for the latest Ikon gift, and you still have a chance to join the group for free.  My tresses are a recent release from Truth called Stevie in beach and they frame my face in a soft, attractive manner.  Another Marketplace find, for just 2L, are my Noir Stilettos in navy.  They echo the blue tones in this sheer, silky Gossamer Peacock gown from Spyralle which I scooped up as part of the Sixty Linden Weekend.  Although it might be too late for you to shop the stores in the weekend event for the end of October, you will have another opportunity to find some bargains next Saturday and Sunday as this is a weekly event.

Unless you have a brave soul.....don't accept an invitation to go exploring a spooky haunted house because THIS is what happens!  Today's post is not mostly about free and inexpensive items....it's just for fun.  Jerry and I went exploring the Spooky Haunted House (http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Solo/171/28/17 ) and snapped these pictures while there.
