Being Cute, Japan Style... and Scrumptilicious Sanu!

So guess what? I helped name icecreams for Sanu's icecream competition-- and Sanu picked one of my suggestions! I was so excited when I found out! Until I noticed that I did a little boo boo... -_- because the name I suggested 'Peachy Keen' had been already suggested by the lovely Elliandra Parx. Unfortunately, I didn't read the entries prior to posting my own, and I didn't even notice. I'm really sorry about that Elliandra! So, for the record, she thought of it first, though Sanura was generous enough to give us both the prizes. Thanks Sanu!

... and because I'm a sucker for free icecream, I accepted the gift. I couldn't help it! I absolutely loooove icecream! Besides. I figured it'd be a good thing to blog! I'm kinda sad that my favourite suggestion-- for the green and white icream-- didn't win, though. 'Matcha Ado About Nothing', bwa ha ha! It cracks me up! (I guess only me though... ah well).

So anyway, here it is! One of ten of Sanu's new interactive icecreams that I (kinda) helped name; Peachy Keen!

Icecream: Sanu - Triple Scoop: Peachy Keen - $55L - (1 in 10 random chance colors).
Outfit:- Little Britain - English Skater Chick - $0L
Sticky Notes:- Sanu - *Sanu Sticky Notes! (Purple) - $45L - (coloured multi-pack)



So today I noticed a cute lil Japanese store called **Sister Strawberry** -- isn't that name cute? The store is even cuter! It has a few freebies scattered about inside, and the stuff is cute and inexpensive. While I was there, I won the cute purple ensemble from the Lucky Board, and nabbed the freebies on the floor. Furniture lovers take note; it also has some cute inexpensive furniture inside, some for $1L. Very cute indeed! But enough babbling, on to the stuffies!


Outfit:- *Sister Strawberry* - camisole&longcheckskirt - $0L - (lucky board, 10 mins)
Sticky Notes:- Sanu - *Sanu Sticky Notes! (Purple) - $45L - (coloured multi-pack)
Hair:- TekuTeku - March Group Gift - $0L
Pose:- Kuri*Style - K*S Pose Pack 4 'mdlstnd' - $10L - (for 3 poses)

It never rings for me! That's the lucky chair ensemble. There's two belt styles (one without a flower), and two skirt styles-- one with a more bell-like shape. Keep in mind the skirt came with no glitch pants though! I had to make some new pants, and match the color to the top. Which I think worked out pretty well. x3




Dress:- *Sister Strawberry* - Malaga Pink - $0L - (On floor on left of entrance. Includes corsage and pearl necklace & earrings.)
Glasses:- /artilleri/ - Gladys Glasses - $0L - (Part of Subscribe O Matic Gift. Not in notices-- you get it when you join. Also includes hair flower and top-- not shown).
Pose:- Kuri*Style - K*S Pose Pack 3 'Huh?' - $10L - (for 3 poses)

Looks like I forgot my keys! Do'h! Pic taken outside /artilleri/... it's not my car, sadly.


So while I was blogging all the goodies at *Sister Strawberry* I got a notice from Romi Juliesse, giving out some adorable hair to her group members! It's a cute lil half-pigtailed updo, and you can get it by joining her group and checking group notices.


Camisole:- *Sister Strawberry* - Camisole Dot Pink - $0L - (On floor near left side from main entrance)
Hair:- Romi Skin - Lucy Hair 'Black' - $0L - (Group Gift. Check notices.)
Couch: - *Sister Strawberry* - Sofa Long Funny - 40L - (I didn't buy it, I just posed on it).


Camisole:- *Sister Strawberry* - Camisole Dot Pink Black - $0L - (On floor near left side from main entrance)
Hair:- Romi Skin - Lucy Hair 'Black' - $0L - (Group Gift. Check notices.)
Couch: - *Sister Strawberry* - sofa BOX funny - 40L - (I didn't buy it, I just posed on it).

And as usual i'm practically living in the skin from Curio -- the only problem is that it makes me look too good! (If that can be considered a problem?)

Gosh! I wish designers would stop updating while I'm trying to finish my post! Grr! I love it though! Mochi Milena of Pink Fuel lovliness, just sent out a notice today announcing her new releases, so check her store out! Of note, though, she says she felt bad that some people couldn't get the cute Panda Avatar she had on sale for $1L for 24-hours a few weeks ago, so she's put the avatar up in her store for $10L for the rest of the month.


Avatar:- Pink Fuel - Tiny Panda Avatar - $10L - (limited time only. includes 'panda kick' animation. gigantic bunneh not included)

WHEW! I'm done! Go me!

Dunneh!

You know you've 'made it' when...

...You get a few of lovely blogs linking you, some followers, ! and a designer asking you to blog something of theirs. (Even though you've never heard of them before, and get the feeling the notecard they sent you was sent to every blogger out there and they probably have never actually read your blog).

...And by 'made it' I mean you know you're 'slightly above mediocrity' Which suits me fine! So this is an exciting time for me. However, it does bring me to my policy on sending me stuff, which I just added in my my Not So FAQ. Just as a point, designers, if you're asking bloggers to blog your items, actually sending them the items might work better than sending them a link to a lucky board they have to wait for. But that's just my opinion. Needless to say, the item (a tattoo) doesn't really suit Dunneh, so it's going to be missed out. Sorry. =X (Though it was very nice from what I could see).

So anyway, I've been meaning to do this for the longest time! Kuri*Style! Everyone has seen the new stuff kuri Karas has out lately. It's been featured all over the place! But stick around in there and you'll realise her store is a treasure trove of stuff! Near the back entrance you'll find tons of adorable poses, in addition to a freebie pose, there's a wall with poses at $10L -- per set of three. That's right! You get three poses for $10L! I nabbed the cute ones, but she has sexy ones there too.

That's not all, either! Scattered around the store there are bargains galore. I found two dresses for $1L near the main entrance on some hangers, as well as a little grey shelf further in with very cute good quality dresses from $10L-30L!

Dress:- Kuri*Style - K*S ONE-PIECE17pinkDOT hangarBOX - $1L - (on hangers with full price dresses, near entrance).
Pose:- Kuri*Style - K*S Pose Pack 4 'K*S Ctst1' - $10L - (for 3 poses)
Hair:- Magika - Betty II 'Black B' - - (Not free anymore)
Eyes: -Kusshon - Poetic Color Eyes - Liquid Amber - $0L
Skin: - Curio - (Join Group)


Dress:- Kuri*Style - K*S ONE-PIECE6flour - $1L - (on hangers by entrance mixed with other dresses).
Hair:- MIU - 'Okappa!' - (I can't remember how I got this. I think it was a freebie)
Skin:- *YourSkin&YourShape* - *YourSkin* ChiaraReloaded_SpringMakeUp - Past Group Gift -


Bikini:- Kuri*Style - BIKINI"FLEND'S" COLOR - $1L - (On the beach outside the shop, contains more than just the color shown. Also contains a white beach wrap. N.B. All bikini's have the 'woot' tattoo on the leg.)
Pose:- Kuri*Style - K*S Pose Pack 3 'rlxstnd3' - $10L - (for 3 poses)
Skin:- Bebae - Belina - (Past Group Gift)
Hair:- DEJAVU - +++DEJAVU+++2009/OTOSHIDAMA - (Past Group Gift. N.B the store is in limbo for now).


Top & Skirt: Kuri*Style k*S ONE-PIECE33ROSE BOX - $10L - (On a small brown shelf near the back exit, with other $10L stuff)
Hair: - TekuTeku - March Group Gift - $0L
Skin: - Lazolli - Julia005 'love lady' - (Past Freebie)
Eyes: - DP YumYum - Moony Eyes 'Glassy:Pink' - $200L - (Not a freebie. Set of 10)

Unfortunately, I love sitting poses, and I keep using them when I wear skirts. Big fashion faux paux, I know. x_X Sorry! Also, my bod doesn't look half bad in a bikini! (Just wait till you see it from the side. Also, I look like I gotta pee from that angle.) And the last pic, I never adjusted my stocking cuff. I do apologise for my laziness. Sorry!

PHEW! As always, posting for me is a hard slog, what with all the slurls and things. I hope you enjoy. By the way this post was image heavy.

Duns.

Lano Ling is my God!

The title says it all. Lano Ling from Kusshon has a new set of freebie eyes out! I LOVE the poetic eyes series. This one is from his new light shadowed bright eye series. I would recommend you pick up a pair of eyes one day, maybe as a treat; they are a bit steep, ($200L) but they are well worth that. They are simply stunning. The freebie is out for a limited time, so get it, get it quick!

I've paired it here with Magika's new discounted hair! Yes, that's right, Magika has reduced some old hair models to $10L per color pack and $60L per fat pack. I'm super stoked because this time around she reduced two of my favourite styles; Lil Punk and Lime! Raven and I have already swept it all up. Be quick, as with the other discounted hair packs, they are for a limited time.

And lastly, it's been blogged all over the place, but the skin from Curio is the bees knees! It's so rich and detailed. I don't think I will ever, ever, leave the group! Just search the people tab for 'Gala Phoenix' and join her group, 'Gala & Rita Design Annoucements'

Skin: - Curio - (Join Group)
Hair: - Magika - Silky II - Brown D - Discounted Hair (10L per pack or 60L for fatpack)

I forgot a title, dah dah dah~

Hello fearless readers! (All two of you!) Dunneh here, with another awesome post! Okay, so I officially have a crush on Ding Fotherington and I don't care if it's wrong, cuz it feels so right! Dah dah dah~ ♪

Erm, okay... So anyway, onto the goodies. First off, I haven't seen this blogged often (or at all), which is weird, because it's an amazing set. It's a Newbie Assistance Pack-- and is one of three newbie packs Peppermint Blue has out. Two for girls, and one for boys. One has an amazing hoodie, and the other is a cute babydoll set (not blogged). You actually get an entire avatar-- including skins and shapes (not shown)-- yes, even the handbags! The only thing you don't get is the hair in the pictures (my pics or their pics). And keep in mind, I'm not wearing the skins boxed in with the Peppermint Blue set, though. Don't miss out! Peppermint Blue is notorious for having short freebie periods! Go now now now now nao!

Clothing (Entire Set): - Peppermint Blue - Newbie Assistance Pack MU#0 - $0L - (Not shown: Skin, Hair, Shoes)
Skin: - Beauty Avatar -
Flats: - 50Flats - Random Chance Cherry Flats - $35L - (1 in 4 chance of getting these!)
Hair: - Kin - Mika - 100L


So 50Flats has made some new flowered flats available at their (temporary loc) 50Flats store. They also set up a Gatchapon machine! I love Gatchapons, especially when the prizes are as good as this one, and I was squeeing with delight when I got the pair I really wanted, the Cherry Flats! I love them to bits, and $35L is more than reasonable for them in my opinion. It took a bit of time, (and Ding's help) for me to get them on though! Stupidly, when the touch script bugged out, I didn't even think to right-click open it to get my flats out. ~.~ Anyways, thank you Ding for being patient with me. I really appreciate it!

Everyone has to get this cute skin from Beauty Avatar -- I know it's been blogged all over the place, but it's really amazing. Here's a close up of the face, and also, the ring and bracelet that you see in the pic are also part of that Peppermint Blue hoodie set I blogged above. Now you see how amazing it is!?


Skin: - Beauty Avatar - $0L


Back to my new crushes, 50Flats -- they have another pair of freebie flats out that I have been meaning to blog for a few days.They're pink! And have ribbons! And yet, I barely had a chance to think about blogging them when Ding released some more great items for her store!


Flats: - 50Flats - Pink Weave - $0L -

Well, that's it. It's 4am here and I'm pooped.

The Laughing Academy Sale

I haven't posted very often, I'm not online as much as Dunneh, and I'm very particular about what I pick up. However, I do have a soft spot for gowns, and the Freebie Telegraph tipped me off to a moving sale at the Laughing Academy. This is a lovely store with a multitude of period gowns. The sale is random, so the items are set at anything between 25-100L, and changing every day. There are some bargains to be had there, such as the gown I picked up today:

Gown: - The Laughing Academy - Cecily Mourning Gown - $99L - (sale price).

I also picked up some other bits and pieces, hats are 10L, and they have a great range of shoes between 5L - 25L.


Shoes: - The Laughing Academy - $5L


I promise to post more later, I'm just waiting for a lucky chair at the moment and I want to get this post out.

Toodles,

Icecream On Mah Head!

So, Sanu is awesome right? Right. And as usual, she just lavishes the freebies on us. Her fridge died, (RIP Sanu's fridge), and so she's released another melty icecream group gift to commemerate this occasion! This time it's yummy choccy icecream, yay! Furthermore, we get lovely sun earrings because Sanu got hot walking in the sun the other day! Yay! (Well, kind of yay. Yay for the earrings, not that she got hot.) Best of all, the group fee is gone... Sanu has a new system whereby she closes the group when there's special freebies out. Don't despair though, anybody can invite people into the group! So if you want an icecream on your head, you can let me know, and I'll invite you into Sanu's group! I recommend you stay there and not freebie hop because Sanu is extremely generous and it's totally worth being in her group.

Icecream on Mah Head: - Sanu - *Sanu's members icecream (Chocolate - $0L - (group gift)
Earrings: Sanu - Midday Sun - $0L - (group gift)
Ring: - Copain Group [Love Soul] - Smiley Flower Ring - $0L - (group gift, 200L joining fee)


That's not all the great news though. Copain group has opened again! For those who don't know, Copain is an update group for not one store, but four: LoveSoul, JUNwave, Cassis Rose, and PRAY. Now is a great time to join because they tend to close the group down when they have really, really great group gifts. The only thing is that Copain has a joining fee. And it's big-- 200L, though I think it's worth it if you like the cute stylings of the four stores involved. I'm actually drained of money thanks to this group, now. So this months group gift entails the smiley ring you see above, on my hand. It also contains orange prim nails, and smiley flower earrings (not shown). Very cute.

Back to Sanu! She just released a gummi monocle and choker set, on her lucky chair. I'd show it on me, but my letter got snatched while I was blogging this... oh well. Down low too slow and all that!


Choker & Monocole Set: - Sanu - 4 monocle styles and 1 choker style randomly offered on lucky chair -

Lastly, my first reader tip! Thank you for the tip, Nem! Thanks to you, I might blog another freebie before anyone else does again. So, Nem pointed me to So Many Styles -- check it out, the store is great! If you join the group, you can get two group gifts. The first is a cute red babydoll dress. That one didn't suit me (babydolls kinda make chubby ole me look even chubbier), but the blouse-- oh gosh, this blouse! It's SO prettyful! I eet!


Blouse: - { So Many Styles } - Beige Blouse - $0L - (group gift, join group!)

I'm pooped. Blogging is harder than you know. xD

LoveSoul, JUNwave and BINGO love!

*le-gasp!* Moi blogging a freebie no one else has blogged yet? Yes, that's exactly what I'm doing! No, I can't believe it either. And *squee!* strawberries! Strawberries are pretty much my favourite thing ever ever ever, (apart from hawt SL boys and chocolate). So here's what you do to get this spiffy red visor with strawberry deco. Head over to ++Love Soul++, add the place into your picks by right clicking yourself > profile > picks > add. Now wait 24 hours and you too could be the owner of this adorable item. Thank you ++Love Soul++! I'm so glad I had them in my picks already, thanks to a previous pick-gift. (The cute hair I'm sporting, if I recall correctly). Bear with me on this pic, SL was having all sorts of trouble for me today. Pics not rendering, backrounds not rezzing. Blah.

Visor: - [ Love Soul ] - Sun Viser Cap - $0L - (must have LoveSoul in profile picks).
Shirt: - { Bingo } - Strawberry Camisole - $10L - (gashapon machine)
Hair: - JUNwave - (previous freebie)
Skin: - Romi Skin - Romi 3 - (previous freebie)
Choker: - Katat0nik - Locked Heart Choker - $25L - (I Colour-changed to red. On left on entrance with other cheapies).


The shirt I'm wearing is from {Bingo}, and I can't get the slurl right at this moment. But I LOVE {Bingo}, it's one of my favourite stores, and I'm going to give it some bloggy love soon. I promise!

Before I go, girls, don't forget to grab the Romi Skin 7 from the lucky-board, and the new skin, #8, from the box at Romi Skin. Last I checked though, the group was closed. Bummer. But if you're already part of the group, and haven't got them yet, try now because there's a sign at Romi's saying the luckyboards finish on the 21st. I'm actually not wearing 7 or 8, because weirdly, it doesn't suit Dunneh, but 3, does. So go figure. However, they're still awesome skins and more than worth getting. Check out her full price stuff while you're there.

Well, I'm outies.
