It’s tax season here in the United States, and Daphne and I are both broke! Since we can’t really afford to shop, and we’re sure we’re not the only ones, we’re going to hunt for freebies!
A lot of our favorite stores on the grid have free items.Calla and ETD both have free or very inexpensive hair. Calla has several freebies intended for new residents at its service desk, and ETD has a wall of $1L hair and other very inexpensive items. In addition, Calla also carries the Jack and Jill in a box packages for male and female avies.

If you’re listening to Second Style Stylecast, odds are, you love to shop. Not just in Second Life, but in real life as well. In real life, you can shop online or by catalog while you’re at work. Of course, if you don’t have the money to spend, you can spend your lindens at several websites devoted to SL shopping. Now, when your boss catches you shopping online at work, you’re just as likely to be shopping for the latest from PixelDolls as you are to be visiting JCrew.com. Today, we’re going to talk about your options for satisfying your SL shopping urges when you can’t get in-world. Read more

Daphne and I decided to do another fashion challenge, only this time we chose each other’s item around which to build three unique outfits. For me, Daphne chose SLink Boutique’s Leather Jacket in Blood. For Daphne, I chose Ingenue’s The Pencil Skirt, and she chose the Aubergine one.
Daphne was unaware that I had already blogged SLink’s Leather jacket in Toffee. I chose a semi-office-proper look that paired the jacket with SLink’s own Mid Thigh skirt. I also wore Enkythings‘ Pinson boots; Argyle’s Emily Velvet scarf; Miriel’s Beatrice earrings; Sheer’s Lace Mesh stockings; Fleur’s Vivant Feline skin; and ETD’s Luth hair.
Daphne’s first outfit is a cute date outfit. She paired Ingenue’s skirt with the Crocheted shrug and ANALU Silk top from MG Fashions. She also chose Sheer’s Nylons with Leaves; Maitreya’s Slinky stilettos; Muse’s Dauphine necklace and earrings; ETD’s Davinia II hair; and Layniewear’s skin from Another Fundraiser.
My second outfit was inspired by the shape of the jacket. I figured that since it looked like a biker jacket, I’d go for a chic biker look. I wore LF Fashions‘ Isabeaux Leather pants (on the underwear layer) and Shiny Things‘ Flowered Biker boots (the plain version). I accented my outfit with Dark Eden’s Harness belt; Artilleri’s Funky scarf (in leopard); Eat Me’s Aviator Goggles; Fleur’s gloves; ETD’s Wynn hair; and Tuli’s S5 Rebel skin.
Daphne’s second outfit is a fun party-girl outfit. She wore Hiccup’s Ruffly vest; Simply Spoiled’s Pearl choker and Pearl Knotted string; Maitreya’s Chichi shoes; Diversity’s Emmy hair; and Fleur’s Feline skin.
For my last outfit, I went for a sleek, fashionista look. I took a trip to Armidi for their Rainy Day dress and Kyoto boots. Then, I put on my Fashionably Dead Ultimate Bug Eye glasses that remind me so much of a pair of Chanel sunglasses that I would kill for in real life; my Paper Couture Boulevard bag and Vintage Black earrings; Creamshop’s plain tights; Calla’s Black Poplar hair; and Blowpop’s Mellie3 Dear Brigitte skin (soon to be released).
Finally, Daphne’s last outfit was more of an urban look. She wore Pushbutton Industries‘ Renfield turtleneck; Civvies‘ Wooly Holey socks; Artilleri’s Pyramid belt; Shiny Things’ Oxfords; Cake’s Wish hair; and Chai’s Midnight skin.
Next time we do a Fashion Challenge, we’d like you, our listeners, to get involved! Please suggest items for us to use! You can reach both of us in-world, or reach us by email at daphne.abernathy@gmail.com or tamara.kirshner@gmail.com.
