FabFree – Fabulously Free in SL

Simply Fabulous Free and Under L$75 Finds in Second Life – Since 2007


Timeless

Whispers of the Woodland

Happy pre-Friday, Fabbies!  In my last post here, I told you about a couple of Wink Price special offers from Anastyle, and I’m back today with another outfit from the store, but this time, it’s completely free.

Sweet Raspberry Stripes

The free Nathalie Outfit from Anastyle includes a striped sleeveless top that features a teardrop cut-out at the neckline and an extra-long hem, which is gathered on one side.  I find the pattern on the shirt to be quite happy and bright.  Also included in the gift are comfy white flared pants.  One thing I love about the outfit is that it is dressy enough for an afternoon out, but also perfect for just chilling at home.  I didn’t notice until I was typing up this blog post that the designer also tucked white high-heeled sandals, a bracelet, and earrings in the folder to complete your look.  They are really cute and I wish I had included them in my photo! To add Nathalie to your inventory, you’ll need to be a member of the SL Frees & Offers Group, but it’s completely free to join.  Many other designers also set out free gifts for SLF&O members, so it’s one of those groups I always keep an active membership in.

Mesh Body Compatibility

  • Maitreya
  • Slink Hourglass
  • Slink Physique

Until next time, happy shopping!

Nothing But Blue Skies

Nothing But Blue Skies

Happy Monday, Fabbies!  Gus and I are popping in with a free casual, but classy outfit that I picked up as a free group gift.

Pretty in Paisley

The beginning of the month is a wonderful time because generous designers often bless their group members with free group gifties.  This morning, I decided to teleport over to the Nilsy Store and stroll around the shop.  After giving the Midnight Mania board a tap (keeping my fingers crossed for this one!), I noticed the adorable free gift of the week.  The Paisley Loose Pants and Laced Top Outfit features a lace-trimmed white tank and loose-fitting patterned print trousers.  This complete outfit exudes chic elegance and I love it!  Depending on how you accessorize it, you could wear this gift for a casual day of shopping or a luncheon date on the town.  To add it to your inventory, you need to be a member of the Nils Island Store Group, but there’s no join fee.  I’m not sure how long this gem will be available, so if you like it as much as I do, don’t delay!

Mesh Body Compatibility

  • Belleza Freya and Venus
  • Fitmesh in S, M, and L
  • Maitreya
  • Ocacin
  • Slink Hourglass and Physique
  • Voluptuous

Until next time, happy shopping!

Trust the Process

Trust Your Journey

Hello Fabulous Readers and Happy Monday!  In the past few years, real-life threw some events my way that I never expected or wanted.  I’ve often said that when one door closes, another opens.  Well, my belief in that saying sure was tested.  During difficult times, sometimes it’s hard to remember that when life doesn’t work out as you wanted, something better is coming your way.  This shirt is a good reminder to stay patient and have faith.

Trust Your Journey

As I combed through my group notices this morning (yup, I do it too, Beachy!) I came across a happy announcement from the Coco Update Group, that mentioned a new free gift.  I’m a huge fan of Cocoro Lemon’s work, and she is so generous with her group gifts.  I quickly teleported to her shop and scooped up this simple top with a powerful, timely message.  It features tank-style sleeves, a cheeky cropped fit, and text in a green cursive font.  The update group is completely free to join and there are tons of other prior free gifties set out for you to collect.  I’d highly recommend becoming a member and visiting the shop!

Butterfly Heart

Give Me Just a Little More Time

If you haven’t started down the path of the Womenstuff Hunt, there’s still a few more days left.  It runs through July 31st and contains more than 100 stops along the way.  Hunt items are free, but you do need to be a member of the Womenstuff group to participate (50L$ join fee).  My adorable butterfly heart earrings from the Moody Designs Store are just one of the prizes you can collect on the way.  They are super cute and come with a texture change HUD with nine colors for the butterflies and nine options for the metal portion.  To participate in the hunt, you’ll first have to travel to the start location and pick up a copy of the HUD for the hunt, which contains a preview photo for each item.  If you grant permission for the hud to teleport you, it makes moving from location to location easy.  You’ll be searching for a red bag hidden somewhere in the shop.

Happy Hunting!

Nothing Lasts Forever

Nothing Lasts Forever

Autumn isn’t all bad. I do enjoy the change of scenery and pretty colors. It’s a lovely time to do some exploring and appreciate the beautiful places that people create.

Falling Leaves

The September group gifts at Off-line are now available! Off-line is in the habit of spoiling us, and once again has set out 7 free group gifts for the month, each in a fatpack of colors. Truth be told, ’twas the color of my dress that got me in the fall mood, completely by accident. And just like the leaves all around me, I fell hard for this classy style. I just love the asymmetry of the skirt and the sleeves. But if this one doesn’t tickle your fancy, there are 6 others to choose from! Get them just inside the store, to the right of the front desk at Off-line. They are free group gifts and the group is free to join. Just make sure you go before the start of October when they will undoubtedly disappear.

Sizes:

  • Maitreya
  • Freya
  • Hourglass
  • Kupra
  • Legacy

 

Oh! And I should mention that my tattoo is on sale this weekend at Vegas, for Happy Weekend. Just 60L for the tattoo in 3 opacities in all of the BOM and applier options for both guys and girls. It’s a super detailed almost full body (minus that one leg) tattoo.

It’s Time for Some Retail Therapy

Autumn Day

Hello, Fab Free!  I hope you are having a fantastic weekend.  I decided to spend some time today exploring the Whispering Windz sim.  If you are looking for a lovely place to visit, I’d highly recommend taking a journey there yourself.  It has meandering paths that work their way through a beautiful fall landscape.  Before my idyllic afternoon, I picked up a couple of free gifts that I am excited to share with you.

But First, Lipstick

I decided to check out the 18th Round of MIIX Event this morning, and I’m so glad I did.  Right at the landing zone, there is a free gift set out for members of the Hype Events ::: News and Offers ::: group, which is free to join.  The Make Me Matte Lipstick Set from Opulein is compatible with Lelutka Evo and Evo X, Genus and Catwa HD Pro mesh heads.  It features two creamy shades, pink and taupe, in BOM appliers as well as a tattoo layer.   I opted for the blush-colored version, but either one will leave your lips looking lusciously soft.  I’ve included a close-up photo below so you can get a better view of this gorgeous makeup.  While you’re at the event location, you might want to tap the giveaway board for a chance to win a Lelutka or Furtacor gift card and Blogger Room access.  Good luck if you decide to enter!

‘Tis Bat Season

I am a kid at heart and look forward to October 31st every year, so I decided to get my Halloween vibe going a little early.  Over at Mister Razzor Body Shop, I joined the group for just 10L and picked up a free ear tattoo as a group gift.  It is comprised of a small cauldron of bats – or is it a colony?  I am not exactly sure, but I call it adorable!  Created exclusively for the Lelutka Evo X mesh head, this gift includes a 100 percent version as well as a lighter 75 percent option.  I love how it is playful the design is!

Lost in Thought

Weekend Sales

I always look forward to the 60L Happy Weekend Sale, which runs Saturday through Sunday.  With a very reasonable price tag of just 60 Linden dollars per item, you can pick up some wonderful additions to your SL wardrobe without breaking the bank.  Today, I scored the Jola Dress from Meva.  With ruffled short sleeves, a laced bodice, and a flirty hemline, this ebony frock is ideal for early fall, and I have to say, the color is perfect for October.  If you toss in a witch hat and broomstick, it could even double for a Halloween costume.  The folder includes versions for the standard and petite Maitreya mesh bodies.

Mesh Body Compatibility

  • Maitreya Lara
  • Maitreya Lara Petite

Over at [The Forge], I found another Happy Weekend offering for just 60 Linden dollars – a pair of over-the-knee stiletto style boots.  They look like they were tailor-made to coordinate with my new dress.  I really like the added detail of the golden buckles, which contrast beautifully with the buttery soft leather of the footwear.   Fortunately for me, my avatar has no problem maintaining her balance on the slender heels of these curve-hugging boots.  I opted for black to coordinate with my dress, but you can also find the Hellen Boots in seventeen other colors (each sold separately).

Until next time, happy shopping!

Hello Fab Free! So as we all know by now it’s Pride Month, and I am loving all the enthusiasm I’m seeing. My Love. Your Love. Her Love. His Love. Their Love. Love wins! To continue the celebration and the proud support, I’m giddy with rainbow goodness from Reign and Luas.

Thanks to the several rainbow themed Saturday Sale items that are still available at Reign, my shoes and my drink are the most colorful they have probably ever been. The delicious looking drink comes in 2 versions, one with a static hold, and one with an animated hold. The shoes are in black, white, glitter black, and glitter white (shown) version, each in multiple sizes. Both of these rainbow-tastic Saturday Sale items at Reign, and the ones not shown here, will be available at the fabulous price of 75 linden each until this coming Saturday.

Luas Yona VIP Gift June

This long sleeve belted dress is the June group gift at Luas. It comes with a texture change hud that lets you pick from 4 presets each for the main part of the dress, the belt, and the graphic across the front. All things considered, the rainbow options were just irresistible for me anyway. This cute as heck dress comes in a few sizes and is free to all Luas VIP group members. At this time there is a one time join fee of 50 linden, and there are multiple previous group gifts available.

Sizes Included: Slink Hourglass, Belleza Isis, Belleza Freya, Maitreya Lara

Hey there Fab Free’rs! I’ve got a quick group gift from Caboodle to share with you for this post. Really, this loose-fitting crop top by Caboodle is just too cute to not share. It comes in a few sizes, and includes a texture change hud that lets you change the color/texture of the top and the sleeves. I love the shiny almost holographic choices, and there is a super cute illustration done by an associate of the Caboodle clothing designer.

Virtually Tropical

Virtually Tropical

You know, I’ve never been to an actually tropical place.  I’ve been to hot places, warm places, and absolutely freezing places, but never somewhere I would classify as tropical.  I think I’d be pretty good at being in a tropical place.  Wait, would I though?  I’m born and bred in the frozen North of the world, and when I really think about it, perhaps my constitution isn’t really up to the frizzy hair and massive bugs.  That’s ok though.  I’m on the grid where these little problems aren’t a thing!

Dressing it Up

For my virtual jaunt through the tropics, I found a great dress to keep me virtually cool.  I picked up this beauty over at Safira and I gotta say I love the pinks and turquoises.  I’m not lying when I say they’re my fave!  I got this dress by joining the Safira group for 50L and then heading upstairs to the massive gift wall.  You can build a whole wardrobe out of just the gifts on that wall!  Safira is a great group to join and stay in, because members are continuously spoiled!  Woot!

Sizes

  • Freya
  • Hourglass
  • Isis
  • Maitreya

See you all in the tropics.  But not you, you terrifying buggy things!

Normal People


Normal People Scare Me

Hello hello Fab Free! Welcome back to the blog. As much as the saying on this shirt makes me giggle, I really don’t believe in normal. It’s all just relative. So before I jump in to telling you about this awesome new gacha set by Oubliette, and a cool new group gift hairstyle by Pink Hustler, I’ll present to you a quote I’ve always liked.

“What is normal to the spider is chaos to the fly.” – Charles Addams

The Outfit – Yep, you read that right, I said the gacha word. That means this too cool cami style top and the even cooler shorts are part of a super cool set that you won’t want to miss. Oubliette has their Neo Witch gacha set out at Gachaland. This gacha is just 50 lindens per pull. There are 10 commons and 1 rare, along with 1 event exclusive gift awarded after 20 pulls. Each piece comes in several sizes. I’ve included a copy of the gacha key below so you can get a look at all the goodies.

Image may contain: 3 people, people standing and text

The Hair – One of Pink Hustler’s group gifts is this shaggy mid-length hairstyle that I’m kind of in love with. The gift includes a color hud with what I’d call an “essentials” variety of color choices. To get your copy of this group gift hairstyle, you’ll need to join the Pink Hustler group. There are quite a few group gifts available, including hairstyles, mesh/bento nails, and a few other clothing/accessory items. The Pink Hustler group has a hefty, but worth it join fee of 500 linden.

Here are the details:

Hair – Pink Hustler – *PH* V.I.P Group Gift // – Free Group Gift/Group is 500L to Join
