The White Rabbit avi on the far left from Coco Designs is a new version of an older gift from DollCoco. A few Christmas’s ago this avi came hopping into our hearts dressed as old saint nick. This new version bounds on in 2 versions, wearing a camo coat for hiding from Alices or if you prefer a more natural look he also comes clothed in nothing at all!

Group Members a bit ago of the original DollCoco received a free ball jointed  doll and set of heads in group for those who didn’t this avi runs $450 for the body and an additional $450 for each head but worth every $L! (Buying the heads separately means it costs only half again the investment to punch up your look with a new head.) Check out the beautiful avi modeled in the middle at the new CocoDoll BJD and pick up the lovely red dress she’s wearing for free!

The braided over bun adorning the center model is the latest gift from Truth Hair’s subscribo “Fernanda”. The gift comes with a 16 variety colour ( and their matching fades) HUD so you can match your own look with ease. If you aren’t in the Truth subscribo yet make sure to head on down and pick up your new favorite hair from Truth and the chance to see the newest from Truth as they’re released.

The adorable Reindeer plushie avatar far right lets the “real SL you” peep out from it’s mouth, making you the cutest holiday stuffie ever! No group join needed just go to either CocoDoll BJD or Coco Designs and take this sweet look home for free.

There are so many more free gifts at the CocoDoll BJD and the original Coco Designs and a special Black Friday weekend 50% off sale. Be sure to drop in and get yours before they disappear but also be sure to say a big thank you to the creator for their generous gifts.

A Slip of a Thing

This sweet slip dress is the newest group gift from Hudsons’s Clothing Co. The deep cobalt colour and fantastic pinched texture detail make it a stunning  addition to any closet. Whether a dinner date or just going barefoot in the park. I especially was impressed by the high-low hemline for a full coverage in the back while keeping the daring mini in the front. The Hudson’s group is free and does occasionally have men’s group gifts as well. Hudson’s has consistently gifted a beautifully and lovingly created gift monthly for this group be sure to say thank you and shop around. Her prices are very reasonable for high quality textures rich in detail.

The Aculo Necklace, Earrings and Bracelet are a group gift from Earthstones. Normally this group is $250L to join but for this weekend, November 29th – December 1rst 2013 only, the fee has been waived. If you miss the free group join time I’d still highly recommend joining. One set from the gifts and you’ve more than gotten your investment back, and for the man in your life there are gifts for them as well! There is also a large tree up in the store right now surrounded by lucky presets filled with goodies AND at Free Dove there is a set for men and women that is always free from Earthstones as well (When you land the gifts are on the left on the bit of the table sticking out toward that outer wall, 2 boxes one male  and one female) . Some of the most beautiful jewelry in SL Free? Make sure to say a thank you to this fabulous and generous creator!

Goodnight, Jane

We will soon be saying Goodnight but not Goodbye to Jane. As of October 27th this Sunday Jane will be temporarily closing in world and retiring all current stock. There was no message as to when we could expect her to reopen.

Jane has been around for quite sometime with many lovely gifts to SL users over the years. When mesh first came out the designs embraced the new medium and stylishly produced line after line of casual to casual dress clothing for everyday SL. Grace, the lovely shift dress above, is still in the subscribo if you haven’t had a chance to snag it. Just join or re-join if you missed it before. In these 3 sweet shades and 5 colours you’ll be sure to be the sweetest dressed at any party. There is a sale going on if you can try to grab a few things before they’re gone forever and be sure to thank the creator of Jane for her wonderful gifts.

A Picnic with Tawny

ZINAS (Zero is Not a Size has 3 gifts up Free to group ($25L group join fee, group members also have their own MM) or $25L per outfit. Including “Tart” blogged in my post “Macy… Saffi… Tart” and “Cruella” still up on my flickr page http://www.flickr.com/photos/lexipediasultimateguide/8732786843/in/photostream/ and the newest addition shown above named “Tawny”.

Over-sized buttons, close-fitting waist and a simple geometric pattern  make Tawny a dress that has stepped straight out of the early 1960’s and straight into your heart. An easily fitted mesh  that flows to just above the knees only 50 copies are available so hurry quickly in to grab yours.I’m also wearing the “Zoe” shape from ZINAS available for FREE through Halloween! I am displaying  the Zoe shape in Curio Petal Angel skin gifted to group members this past Christmas.

I wanted to also feature this gorgeous setting. Garden of Dreams Scenes are the perfect getaway on your own parcel. I have to admit my main has been collecting them all over the years. There are 3 FREE complete scenes as well as many free gift touches to spark imagination in your home or store!  The scene above is called simply “Wood Glade” (there is a Wood Glade PLUS for sale but this version is a perma-free) and my personal favorite of the free scenes. In the center are logs you can sit on individually and a cuddle menu in the blanket to shame most costly mattresses in sl, for friendly chats or a romantic evening with your loved one. All of the scenes are testable so feel free to slip into a bubble and float up into a world like you’ve never seen created in moments for you then tucked away out of sight and out of prim limit when you’re done.

Where are your shoes? I’m going Barefoot in the Park :p

Let’s Get Sassy!

Let’s Get Sassy!, a photo by Lexipedias Ultimate Guide on Flickr.

This is a post I’ve been planning for quite some time but it takes a bit of effort to get this many models in one picture and a bit of editing since a few are duplicate models with fresh new skin, shape, hair etc. Sassy! is one of those incredible stores in SL that continually puts out a lot of new fresh content with beautiful detail and never charges outrageous prices.  Her everyday prices are around the $100 – $200L levels even for brand new meshies. The style of the clothing is flirty without being dirty or in other words lol Sassy!

In addition to their low prices Sassy! participates in Fifty 5 Thursday, Sixty Linden Weekends, many special shows and designer spotlights while still managing to keep the store growing, participating in many hunts and generously showering her group with gifts! Many may know I have a store in SL myself and I have to say on a personal note that I am amazed at the quality, quantity and variety to her work.  From a designer stand point it looks exhausting!

Shown above with one exception are the perma-free group gifts available in her store ALL the time! Just pop on down and join the group for FREE! and start clicking. From older system gifts that haven’t lost their charm or use to meshies and Lola Tango, Lush and eBoobs appliers.

In the back row on the far right I’m wearing one of the 4 current Lucky chair gifts, a cute mesh pink halter top with a sheer babydoll skirt that floats around the midsection perfectly. In this area is an MM board with a flirty burgundy mini dress with appliers for Lola Tango, Lush, eBoobs and BBusty MU. The other 3 lovely latex mini dresses on the lucky chairs in white, pink and burgundy also come with all 4 appliers.

Be sure to shop around for more amazing gifts and deals here and say Thank you to the creator of Sassy! for their generosity.

The Hair Fair is over and the hairs shown above are now on sale at Calico‘s main store.  For more information about Wigs for Kids visit http://wigsforkids.org.

Odile on the left is sporting “Picnic” from  ZINAS (Zero is Not a Size). Zinas has recently completed a full overhaul of her store, providing a much more open floor plan for ease of navigation but she hasn’t stopped having great deals like this one. Picnic comes with not just the cute top and shorts but with sneakers and Lola appliers as well. This design is available in a few more colours in the store including Lei :o) but this one is just $25L for anyone OR FREE for group members joining at just $25L. Group members also can claim any of the other gifts up front that would cost them $25L AND receive a 25% discount off of Zinas already low prices. You better hurry though, these gifts are in limited quantity and sell out fast.

Abbi to her right is wearing a gorgeous gift from Blacklace no longer available at Zenshi a new one has replaced it and it’s going to be shown soon. Worth mentioning in a blog with so many group gifts is the Blacklace group. For just $99L the creators of both Blacklace and Blacklace Beauty have been gifting gorgeous items once a month for well over a year now. I’ve been in this group since day one and the gifts are not the only thing that keeps me coming back. The quality and creativity displayed not only for the store but in the monthly limited edition gift are incredibly generous and well worth the investment. The shoes i’ve paired it with are part of a past group gift from Bitter Bunny Design that is still available in the VIP lounge. The group join here is again $99L but teleport up to the lounge and grab a year’s worth of adorable mesh and neko outfits!

Lexipedia, yes that’s me next in line, is wearing Mina. The latest in a long line of delicious group gifts from Purple Moon sparkles and flows like a black ice cocktail and will definitely turn some heads at the club. Purple Moon does have a group join fee of $50L but not only releases a gorgeous gift at least once a month but frequent amazing hunt items and it’s the best way to hear about the weekly manger specials, outfits for around $55 that will delight you. It’s also worth heading to the store because this store has a random prize gifted every few minutes to anyone in the room, from jewelry to shoes and more it’s always worth visiting the inworld store! This Gift is still available as the creator has been busy making a most adorable RL creation. Congratulations on your new edition!

Last but hardly least, on the far right Ophelia is wearing a gorgeous gown from The White Armory. The Anne Boleyn gown is now on sale and a new weekly gift is up. In addition to the gorgeous gifts you’ll be notified about weekly discounts, they famous $100L sale, the occasional hunt and new creations to drool over. In the past when i’ve gone you have had to notecard the owner to receive a group invitation but this week when i went they had a group inviter right under the gift. Be sure to take some time at The White Armory to wander, the outlets, the newest and the weapons area too.
