Sweet Dreams

Hello my dear Fab Fam! I know, I know, I’ve been AWOL for quite a while now. Unfortunately, my surgery recovery isn’t going as well as we hoped and another surgery may be in my future. 😦  And that thought really put me in a funk. I know ya’ll know what it’s like when real life gets it’s teeth in you…  But, getting back here with all you fine folks always makes me smile! And freebies… well that’s all the better!

I picked this sweet little top and shorts set from Luxury. The “Debbie” set comes with a huge HUD for the top, the shorts and the belt. And by huge I mean 40 swatches! I love the happy Summery colors and the pretty floral print. The top and the shorts are separate pieces so it makes for good mix and match material for the ol’ wardrobe. It’s also a very nice build and is a good quality texture. It’s well worth your time to check out.

Sizes Included

  • Legacy + Perky
  • Maitreya + Petite

Clover Up

Clover Up

Hey there, Fab Fam! I certainly hope ya’ll are enjoying the week, I sure am! I am loving getting back to the freebies and hunts and friends. I’ve been, of course, collecting all the great prizes on our own St. Patty’s Day Hunt, but I didn’t forget that there are tons of good hunts celebrating the “Wearin’ O’ the Green” For example, the Shamrocks and Shenanigans Hunt!

My first stop was at Ari-Pari for this cute and festive shorts and tank set. The “Lucky Shamrock ” set comes with the top and bottoms as separates so you can easily mix them into your wardrobe. There is also a HUD to pick from six solid colors for the top and six patterns for the shorts. Don’t they just look so comfy? And that little 1L is easy on the wallet.

Sizes Included

  • GenX – Classic, Curvy
  • LaraX + PetiteX
  • Legacy + Perky
  • Reborn + Waifu

My next stop was at The Artist Shed to hunt down this little pot of clovers. I love well made decor and the “Potted Clover ” is certainly that. The rezzable pot is only 2 LI and has a nice drop shadow all for just 1L.  I do warn you… this one takes a minute to find. But that’s half the fun, right?

After hunting down my prizes, I realized, I needed something cute to wear jewelry-wise. So, I headed to the Marketplace. I found this lovely little shamrock necklace for just 1L. Almost like it was meant to be! “The Love and Luck” necklace is by Kerriki and there are several colors besides emerald with each one being just 1L.

Well, hello there you beautiful people! I have returned from slightly unpleasant Real Life adventures at last. I had to take a few weeks off because clumsy me broke her foot and needed surgery! I now have five brand new pins to set off the metal detectors in the airport.  Even though I’m not 100% yet, I couldn’t wait any longer to get back with my FabFree Fam here! Especially with our own St. Patty’s Day Hunt starting up.

My first stop on the Hunt is at Emerald Couture to pick up the lovely “Bridget” dress. There are three festive dresses waiting for you at Emerald Couture, each one is only 5L and a little fun hunting. I fell in love with the swingy look of “Bridget” and she does not disappoint. Plus she comes in a ton of sizes to fit just about anybody!

The Fab Free St. Patty’s Day Hunt starts today and runs through the end of the month and you can check out some prizes  and the details here.

Hello again, my fantastic Fab Free Fam! I know I’m on a bit later than usual but life is being extra crazy right now. But, of course, I need to still hunt down these freebies and gifts on the Grid. No matter what real life says! So there!

I was so happy to see one of my fav designers had offered up another wonderful Group gift -> 350L of store credits to use any way we want! Carol’s Store is going out of her way this month to be oh so generous to us Groupies. Not only does she has a cute little Valentines dress at the Shop and Hop for free, now we get 350L to use in the main store. And I’m here for it! I grabbed this gorgeous sweater dress in white though it comes in ten equally pretty colors. And even after I got this dress, I still have a ton of credits leftover.  Just join the Carol’s Store group for a tiny little ten lindens and then go crazy! There’s not a date listed for the Group Gift to expire but I suggest you don’t delay.

Boldly Go

Boldy Go

Hey Hey, FabFree! Now right up front I’m gonna say “FabFree is, of course, the very bestest free stuff group on the Grid!”  And I doubt you can change my mind on that one. But, that said, there are a bunch of other gifts and sales group and they are certainly worth checking out. Because who doesn’t love freebies and why not have more sources, right?

So today, I popped over to Be Bold ( One of our very own Fabulous designers so make sure you check that out too) and I saw that there is a whole wall full of Group gifts from a ton of groups! I certainly couldn’t resist all those quality freebies! So I put on my Group Tags and got to work!

First is this flirty knit dress, “Gift 7”. The free gift for the 50L WomanStuff Group.  The textures are so nice and I love the bare back.  It’s not your average sweater dress, ya know! The dress comes with a HUD with three good neutral colors to pick from. It makes for an elegant statement. To get this cutie for free, just put on your WomanStuff tag and click the vender.

Sizes Included

  • Belleza – Freya, Isis, Venus
  • Maitreya 
  • SLink – Hourglass, Physique 

My boots are also a Be Bold free gift, this time for the Designer News Group. The Designer News Group is completely free to join and lets you grab gifts all over the Grid. Like these gorgeous tall boots. You’ll get a HUD that matches the Gift 7 dress very well. I love getting a whole new look made up of gifts!

Rigged for…

  • Belleza
  • Maitreya
  • SLink

A Little Walk on the Weird Side

A little walk on the weird side

Heyya Fab Fam! Oh the weekend is upon us and the Grid beckons us with hunts, and sales and events galore. I ran across an Event this week that’s new to me and a great source of all things weird. And I say weird in the best way possible. Something I love about Second Life is the really ‘out there’ creative stuff designers come up with. And this event has the “out of the ordinary” in full swing. Plus, this event is full of free gifts for us! Just join the free to join Second Life Syndicate Group and grab those gifts.

First up are these gorgeous bell bottom slacks from Killjoy. The “Shadow Bells” are rockin’ the high waist silhouette and the texture is so so nice! Each size comes with an alternate “bulge” to cover lots of different avatar’s styles. 

Sizes Included

  • Juicy Rolls
  • LaraX
  • Legacy
  • Reborn

My arms only jacket… would that be a bolero? Anyway… the jacket is from Web Dew who I always associate with creative clothes. The ‘Amaris’ jacket is made to fit with a dress on sale in Web Dew’s booth but I tossed on a BoM corset already in my inventory and I think it works great! The coolest thing about this jacket is it comes with a HUD to change the color of the “glow”. It’s subtle but very nifty!

Lastly is my new hat from Cryptid. The “Noir” fedora will fit with any outfit in your wardrobe. I can promised you that because it comes with a huge HUD to change the color of every single part of the build. And that HUD… has forty colors. 

The Midnight Order event runs until February 20th so go and enjoy!

Here Kitty Kitty

Here Kitty Kitty

Heyya FabFree! I know it’s always a bit of a bummer coming off the weekend high. But never fear! I’m here with two lovely Group Gifts for our very own FabFree Group. Of course, the group is free to join and full of cute free gifts from our Fabulous Designers. Just look at all these free gifts!

My gorgeous new cocktail dress is from Poeme, one of my fav designers. This is the “Big City Kitty” dress and the name confused me for a second. It wasn’t until I got it on that I saw the subtle leopard print on the fabric! I’m not usually a fan of animal prints but this one speaks to me. Maybe it’s the cat in me! 😉 If purple isn’t your color, this kitty comes with a HUD to pick one of three jewel tone colors to suit your mood. 

Sizes Included

  • Altamura
  • Belleza – Freya, Isis, Venus
  • eBody – Classic, Curvy
  • Legacy
  • Maitreya 
  • SLink – Hourglass, Physique 
  • Tonic – Curvy, Fine

You guys know I love all things moons and stars and celestial. So you know when I saw these great crescent moon earrings on our FabFree list, I had to go for them. These are the “Crescent Earrings” from Madame Arakane. They come in both rigged and unrigged versions so they are easy to fit. Plus the size and position are adjustable as well. I have a feeling I’ll be wearing these a lot!

Lovely Yesterdays

Lovely Yesterdays

Hey hey, Fab Fam! Maybe you guys remember me saying before that I really love vintage looks. Well, I never dreamed I’d be putting together a lovely vintage look when I headed down to the Designer Showcase Event. But sometimes… the Grid just all falls into place and hands you everything you need… for free!

First, this sweet dress. This is the “Joelle” dress from Hilly Haalan. I love the ruffles and the flutter sleeves. It’s such an elegant silhouette that was popular way back int he ’50s. But  I gotta talk about the HUD that comes with this dress ’cause Oh. My. Goodness! First you get a HUD with twenty five swatches of fabric patterns. Then you get another HUD with FIFTY plain color choices! Fatpack alert! And what can you do with all those choices… You can change the sleeves, the ruffles and both the back and front of the dress. Mix all that with the typical Hilly Haalan quality and you’re the Grid’s darling.

Sizes Included

  • GenX Classic + Curvy
  • Khara
  • Kupra + Kups
  • Legacy + Perky
  • Maitreya + Petite
  • Reborn

Now, like I said, sometimes everything comes together to make the perfect outfit. And that’s what happened here with the perfect vintage look shoes. They’re even in the perfect color to match my favorite fabric on that huge HUD. These are the “Branwen” shoes from Lindy Modern and Retro Shoes. I do love a chunky heel Mary Jane. So very vintage!

Sizes Included

  • Classic L&R
  • GenX
  • Legacy
  • Maitreya
  • Reborn
  • SLink

 

Last on my list are these gorgeous pearl earring from Jumo Originals. The “Emily” earrings feature delicate golf bows and shiny pearls with all of Jumo’s high quality. The earrings are kinda huge when you first add them but you can resize them to fit any ear.

The Designer ShowCase runs until January 20th. Just join the free to join Group and collect these and lots of other free gifts!

What’s New Pussy Cat

What's New Pussy Cat

Hello all my Fab Free Family! I hope this brand new week is treating you right. Our blast of winter cold is easing up a bit here in the real world. But I’m still all about the comfy sweaters. So when I saw S@bbia had a sweet cozy set up for the free January Group Gift, I had to have it!

This is the “Knit Topper Cardigan and Wrap Skirt” set and it comes in two pieces – the skirt plus the cardigan and top. I always love the soft pastels S@bbia uses on so many of their clothes like the pink on the cardigan. The skirt is short but still modest so I’m not flashing my butt cheeks. (That’s a trend I honestly wish would go away) All in all, this is a sweet casual Winter look and I’m here for it!

Sizes Included

  • Fitmesh
  • LaraX
  • Legacy
  • Maitreya
  • Reborn

My new little friend is also fluffy and soft! I fell in love at first sight with the “Tiny Kitten” companion from SEmotion. I mean… how could you not? Look at this wee lil fluff ball!!  The kitty will walk along side you and comes with a small HUD with three animations to choose from. You can adopt him for free when you go to the Equal 10 event and where your free to join Equal 10 group tag. The SEmotion booth is immediately to your right when you land. Just be careful when you go there. You may go home with way more cuties then just the Tiny Kitten!
