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.

There's a sim-wide hunt going on at the Necrosis Noctis sim, including hunt items from The Black Canary. You are looking for Pumpkins and the hunt gifts are not free, they run you $10L a shot and in some cases you may not know what you are getting (but most of the stores have promos, so check there first). The hunt only runs a week, I believe and it started on the 15th, but still, I regularly pay far more the $10L for Morrigan's stuff and the other designers are just as talented.
