Second Life Steals, Deals, and Freebies: Free and L$1 Fall and Winter Womenswear from Monomania and the Fallen Leaves and Frost Hunt!

We’re expecting our first snowfall up here in Winnipeg today, so I decided to call upon Vanity Fair to model some seasonal freebies and dollarbies for you!

First up is a L$1 autumn/winter outfit fatpack from Monomania. Just teleport to the in-world store (exact SLURL) and pay the vendor panel shown below a single Linden dollar, and it’s yours!

There are four separate pieces—puffer jacket, top, pants, and shoes—with a HUD to change any of them to one of six different colours (black, white, grey, red, blue, or purple):

This puffer jacket outfit comes in sizes to fit Maitreya Lara; Belleza Freya, Isis, and Venus; Slink Hourglass and Physique; Meshbody Legacy; and Tonic Curvy and Fine mesh bodies. It’s a seasonal staple that should be in everybody’s wardrobe, and you can mix and match the individual pieces in this outfit with other items in your inventory, all for only one Linden dollar!

Now I am going to share with you some FREE hunt prizes from the Fabulously Free in SL group’s Fallen Leaves and Frost Hunt, on now until November 30th, 2021. You are looking for a brightly-coloured rainbow hidden somewhere around the participating stores.

From MoOH! comes this wonderful oversize scarf and earmuffs set, which comes with two HUDs to change the colour and texture of both in many different ways, to match whatever else you’re wearing! The scarf comes in five standard sizes. (Hunt hint: A mouse can fit in this chair.)

Below, Vanity Fair models two hunt gifts worn together: the Everlie autumn dress (the hunt prize from Roped Passions), paired with the brown leather Darcy boots (one of three free hunt prizes from Mosquito’s Way). The knit dress comes in sizes to fit Maitreya Lara; Belleza Freya, Isis, and Venus; Slink Hourglass and Physique; and Tonic Curvy and Fine mesh bodies, plus 3 standard sizes (S, M, and L). The boots fit Maitreya, Slink, and Belleza mesh feet. Check out the wonderful buckle and strap detail on those boots, emblematic of the high quality of all of Mosquito’s Way women’s footwear!

You’re all set for autumn in this outfit! There’s also a second hunt prize, a matching sweater for male avatars, at the Roped Passions store; the hunt hint for both is: Throw a coin, and make a wish. (The hunt hint for the Darcy boots is: Coffee for me!)

So, as you can see, you can pull together a fabulous, fashionable fall or winter look from head to toe, without breaking the bank! Happy freebie shopping and hunting!

Second Life Steals, Deals, and Freebies: Twisted Spring Hunt

The Twisted series of hunts in Second Life are renowned for being the hardest hunts on the grid, and giving you absolutely no clues to work from, unlike other SL hunts. You’d think a spinning golden cube would be easy to find, right? Wrong. And every time around, I always land up tearing my hair out, searching for those goddamn little cubes anyways! This round has a gold-and-white divine god/goddess theme, so I diligently went hunting in a few stores, and I got lucky this time! Here are Twisted main hunt and side hunt items from three stores:

  • Appliqué Chic (a main hunt and 6 items in a side hunt)
  • Dreaming Thicket (a main hunt and 7 items in a side hunt)
  • Roped Passions (a main hunt and 5 items in a side hunt)

Our first look is the Divine gown (the Twisted Hunt gift for women by Appliqué Chic), paired with the Celestial Necklace and gold Laurel Crown by Dreaming Thicket (two side hunt gifts):

This stunning gown can be worn both for fantasy and formal outings. This avatar is wearing:

  • Mesh Head: Giselle Bento head by Altamura (no longer available for free; this was an Altamura gift from Christmas 2017 at the eBENTO event, and you had to join the Altamura group for L$50 to get it).
  • Mesh Body: Jenny Bento body by Altamura (this was a free gift from the 2017 Women Only Hunt, and on this version, you can remove the head and replace it with any other mesh head, as I did here. Note that this free mesh body is now available at the Freebie Megastore at London City (more information here), but you cannot remove the head on the newer free version.
  • Hair: Jessi hair from Sn@tch (free gift at a past event; no longer available)
  • Wings: white Icon angel wings by Blueberry (Bento enabled; I bought these at the Christmas 2017 Shop and Hop event using the free L$500 giftcard, which is no longer available; however, you can pick these up at the Blueberry mainstore)
  • Gown: Divine gown (main Twisted Hunt prize by Appliqué Chic)
  • Necklace: gold Celestial Necklace (side hunt prize at Dreaming Thicket)
  • Laurel: gold Laurel Crown (side hunt prize at Dreaming Thicket)
  • Shoes (not shown): white flats by Garbaggio (part of the free sample pack for Slink feet; available on the SL Marketplace). Altamura mesh avatar bodies have Slink-compatible feet.
  • Halo and hand and body particle effects: Valkyrie silver halo, aura, and hand effects by Cole’s Corner
  • Sword: from the Marcus avatar (one of the Second Life fantasy starter avatars)

Here’s a second look, featuring several more hunt gifts:
