This may have been blogged before but I didn't have this suit so, you know... new to me.This isn't part of the Steampunk Hunt, although the BlakOpal Burgundy Cutaway Suit could be. It looks to be a permanent freebie from [BlakOpal Designs]. Solid period look to it (although without the tails, it works pretty well as a contemporary suit), prim cuffs and collars and nice detail work.
I pulled out my new Brass Frame Glasses from [The Brass Needle] and then ducked into [Philotic Energy] to pick up this PE Colby Clinker tousled hair for a either nothing or a $1L (I grabbed several new hair styles from PE... some were. some had a token cost.)
Over the weekend, FFFM member and reader Juliet Broono was like a freebie radar, tossing tons of good finds onto the list. I got some good stuff but I think I may have found a new favorite casual designer... [e.style].Juliet's tip was for the black polo shirt and jacket you see pictured (there's a black version of the jack as well), but among the limited offerings I also found some jeans I really liked and at the minimal cost of $5L from the vendor, it seemed worth it to at least try a pair. I think I ended up buying everything but the shorts...
Nice textures and interesting details make these feel a little more....I dunno, finished, than your regular denims. The polo shirt is also really nice. I did have to widen the collar a touch but I like the look and fit of this shirt. The same went with the jacket... graphic is a logo but it's not overly glaring and the jacket comes with a bulker in case you want it too look more like a coat than a windbreaker.
Free stuff is on the second floor, but there are also lucky boards for furniture and a nice sky island on the first floor.I grabbed the jeans, the polo, and both jackets. I'm also wearing [MADesigns] Jonas - BMT II hair, which is part of the [MADesigns] VIP September gift.
Again, thanks, Juliet! for the tips and finds!
Final note: keep an eye on the blog -- there's some new stuff coming to the sidebar under the heading of "Resources". Cameron is going to blow you guys away. And hopefully a little Designer Spotlight for designers who consistently offer quality freebies, even though the spotlighted items won't necessarily be free.

What a GREAT idea! Congrats on getting Cameron to contribute! (I've been trying for almost a year now, lol)
ps - just kidding Cam. You know I love ya : )
LOL! It was all Cameron's idea.. I almost gave him more of a nudge than he wanted by positing the link early *g*
And how are you doing, oh fearless leader?
I'm not much of a leader these days. I haven't even logged in for about a week now.
School's taken over my whole life, but I love it, so I guess I'm doing better than I have for a really long time.
Yay, go me! lol
LOVE what you've been doing around here btw! I can't thank you enough.
Very nice idea! your post captured my attention because you have a unique style of promoting your fashion. Congrats in advance to Cameron (who is she).LOL! She's very great. Why not try a four button suits in your fashion style, it would be more excellent because it is very elegant and fabulous. In addition, try to paired a mens neckties in your black polo shirt to add detail and elegance (just a suggestion).
