Think I’m In Love

Think I'm In Love

Hi Fabs!  Happy Valentine’s Day   Despite my poo-poo attitude about relationships, I do enjoy spreading love to the universe.  Love is universal, and it beats out every other emotion or feeling always.  We could all use more love, me included, so I came to Sonder Books on Cerulean Township to visit my favorite cat.  No, cats won’t always show you love, but if you’re a cat person you can always win them over and get a purr and maybe even a snug.

Verliebt

I may not speak 3 or 4 languages like Aline, but I remember a little German from high school, and yes, I’m in love with this kitty. Verliebt is the name of the hat I’m wearing too, which is one of the gifts I picked up free at the Valentine Shop&Hop, but wait, there’s more!

  • Free Hat by [GHB] (Unisex, resizeable)
  • Free Hoodie by BigBang (sized for Jake, Legacy, Gianni)
  • Free Forehead tape by Body Expression (Unisex, BOM)

Beachy’s cat shows love by licking and boy is it annoying.  I decided this forehead tape that says “Kiss Me Here” could help.  Forehead kisses are great! A cat’s rough tongue up your nose?  Not so much.

So if you’re down on Valentine’s Day, find yourself a cat, or a dog, or a rat or an inguana and share the love with them.  They (usually) won’t do you wrong.

Also the the Valentine Shop&Hop is nearing it’s end, and I think you guys need this hoodie for the next holiday, St. Patrick’s Day!  If you haven’t made it yet, you have until the end of the day on February 16th, and here’s our spreadsheet to help.

I love you guys!

Peace Out ☮️

Two Hearts

Two Hearts
Happy Friday, Fabulous Readers!  My Valentine and I are popping in to share a free group gift with you.  You rarely get a complete outfit for free, but Off-Line has you covered!

An Entire Fatpack for Free

The free Vidhor outfit from Off-Line includes all the items I’m wearing except the bag.  Starting at the top, a silky bandeau-inspired crop top with delicate crisscross straps drapes smoothly across the bodice.  Its soft fabric has an almost liquid sheen that flatters any complexion.  A high-waisted knit mini skirt in a coordinating dusty rose shade adds texture and warmth to the ensemble.  Its softly frayed hemline catches the eye and contrasts with the polished appearance of the top.  Finally, my favorite part of the look is the pair of over-the-knee boots.   They are crafted from a rose-toned, glossy leather.  Their slim fit is complemented by a subtle ruching, which adds visual interest.  The designer generously includes a HUD that allows you to color the top, skirt, and boots separately.  It includes 20 hues to choose from.  To pick up a copy for yourself, you must be a member of the Off-Line Group, and there is a 99L$ join fee.

Mesh Body Compatibility:

  • Freya
  • Hourglass
  • Kupra
  • Legacy
  • Maitreya
  • Reborn

Carrying Love (and Cookies)

Every dog mom needs a bag for yummy treats, and the Miwo Bag from C’est la Vie is up for the challenge!  This plush, heart-shaped, crossbody bag hangs from a gleaming chain.  The soft finish of the purse blends seamlessly with the sleek satin and knit of the outfit.  Its heart shape reinforces the romantic vibe and is perfect for Valentine’s Day.  The accessory is priced at just 50L$ per multi-color pack for a limited time as part of the Fifty Fifty Sale, which ends on February 15th.

Gus and I wish you a holiday filled with love and happiness.  Until our next post, happy shopping!

~ Wren (and Gus) ~

Hello, Brooklyn

Hello, Brooklyn

Okay, now I feel back to myself, I’m much more comfortable today than I was in suit and tie, but I can still be thrilled, because again my outfit was free.

Hop around town

This is another post where you have to hop to a few spots to pick up these items, but it’s not like you need gas money in SL. 😉  First stop, the Valentine’s Shop&Hop.

I am already a member of the FLAME group, but if you head to their shop at the Shop&Hop you’ll find a 300L gift card that isn’t in the store for you to pick up.  The group is free to join.  You can use that gift card in the mainstore, which I did, and I found this dope outfit to buy.  The Conrad coveralls are a full outfit, tank, pants and wrap, all in one piece.  If you use your gift card toward the fatpack you also get some accessories to wear on your waist (You can add money to your giftcard by wearing it and paying the top up on the front desk).  If you buy the single outfit it’s 269L which is covered by your gift card!  It comes sized for:

  • Jake
  • Legacy

I’ve found a lot of legacy sizes work on the Gianni X, so I’m wearing the legacy size here, and only had to alpha some spots on my legs.

Next I hopped over the the Shop&Hop store KUNI for the free 400L credit gift they have.  As Aline mentioned in her post here, you can use the credit at the Shop&Hop where the styles are already on discount.  I’ve found it covers 2 hairstyles and one styling hud, so I bought the full pack of this Bernando hairstyle.

Last, CIN put out this spectacular tattoo as a free group gift for February.  The group at CIN is 349L to join, but the group gifts are not sold, and all the art is original and limited.  You have to wear your tag, and take the elevator to the group gift room, and you can access all of last year’s monthly gifts and the 2 gifts so far for this year.  It is unisex, comes in multiple BOM layers (just arms or just chest etc) and a full tattoo in different transparencies.

 

Peace Out ☮️

Hot Air Balloon

Well, would you look at me, getting into the spirit of love.  Doesn’t happen often, must be all the free gifts that brought it on. 😉

Mwah!

So I come to you today, covered in kisses, because I’ve been up here handing a box of candy and taking balloon rides with everyone who will dare.  Pretty romantic, if I do say so myself!   I picked up all these free gifts for a romantic date over at the Valentine Shop&Hop, let’s talk about what I brought home!

  • Free suit by @AdReNaLiZeD@ (sized for: Edus, Fitmesh( S-XL), Ganus, Gianni, Jake, Legacy, Mado, Onupup, Slink)
  • Free Gauges by Tealeaf Treasures (for male and female Swallow XL ears, PBR and fallback textures)
  • Free Candy by Broken Arrows (in multiple colors and holds)
  • Free Kisses by Izzie’s (BOM in multiple layers, male and female, EvoX and SLUV)

I got all dolled up because I know our male Fabs are always looking for a suit.  The Valentine’s Shop&Hop is open through February 16th and you can use our spreadsheet to help you navigate, access it HERE.  Don’t forget fellas, check out ALL of the unisex gifts, because I’m pretty sure all of these gifts are color coded unisex on the spreadsheet, because there are both male and female gifts in the shops.

I Don’t Have To Be Me (‘Til Monday)

I Don't Have To Be Me ('Til Monday)

Call this an L+B Swear appreciation post if you’d like, but they have dropped another gift at Seraplus for members of SL, and all the gifts they’ve given this year add up to an incredible full wardrobe, my jacket, pants and boots in this picture are all Seraplus gifts, and we’ve also gotten a T-shirt with overshirt and shorts!

Thank you

Many thanks to L+B Swear and Second Life for providing us these gifts this year.  They’ve done a great job taking care of the guys on the grid.  I decided to put together an outfit full of the newest free gift and the previous free gifts (and a previous purchase) so you can really appreciate their style and quality.

The newest Seraplus gift are these Holden cargo pants, and the details are incredible.  It’s a full fatpack and you can change the ties on the pockets, zippers, buttons, and the textures are fabulous.  They even come rigged for Gianni X (which I know some of you have been looking for!)  Sizes:

  • Jake
  • Legacy/Athletic
  • Gianni/Gianni X

You can become a member of Second Life with a premium membership for as little as $4.99.  Take a look at all the premium membership rates and benefits HERE.

Once you’re a premium member, you just need to TP over to SeraSim and pick up your gifts, there are others waiting for you too.

Foxy, Foxy

Foxy, Foxy

OK Fabs, I thought I’d get it out of the way.  You know, the totally cheesy Valentine’s Day post?  Let’s just get it done!  This way, I can be bitter about my love life straight through the holiday. 😉

I’m a fox

Actually I’ve been holding on to some of these items for quite some time, waiting for this season to arrive.  I’ve got a bunch of old group gifts to show you today, but they are still great and still fit and I do love this sweater!  Let’s start with that.  My sweater is an old group gift from [GILD] which is one of my go to stores.  It’s a gift from 2021.  It is rigged for:

  • Jake
  • Gianni
  • Legacy

The [GILD] group is free to join and there’s other gifts up on the wall.  Head into the store, make a sharp right and you’ll find the gifts.

I picked up my velvet boxers over at Thirst.  There are some adult BOM layers for your chest and lower back that come with the shorts.  The lolly used to be a gift there too but I can’t find it in the store right now.  TP over to Thirst, turn right at the store entrance and head into the discount store, and there you’ll find the boxers.  The Thirst group is free to join.  They come rigged for:

  • Jake
  • Legacy

Then there’s my Foxy hat.  I adore this, and it’s a free gift at ONEDAYs.  Just inside the door on the left are the group gifts, and you can purchase this one for 0L, no group required.  It’s a full fatpack and you can change the color of the hat and the label.

I even put on my LOVE earrings which are a group gift over at [Hipster Style].  They come rigged for male and female heads and you can wear one or both. They come in standard and PBR textures.   The group join there is 50L and there’s a bunch of free jewelry gifts you can pick up when you join.  I put the SLURL to right in front of the group gifts, but if it’s a forced landing, follow the beam up all the steps to the mainstore, and they’re on the wall outside of the store.

I’ve already had about enough of this look, so I’ve gotta go change now.  I’m cringing to think this picture of me being all cheesy and heartsy will be on the blog forever, but hopefully you’ll forget all about it next month. 😉

Yo Fabs!  I scored when I went to double check that a landmark was still valid for a blog post I wrote last week.  The LM to !129129 was indeed correct AND the old gifts were down from the wall, and this new gift appeared!  Sounds like we all are getting lucky with this one. 😉

Art

This Nylon Outfit from !129129 is a piece of art. It comes with a separate jacket and pants and T-shirt insert in a fatpack of wild shiny holo kind of colors.  There’s cool graphics and patches all over that I can’t really capture fully in one picture.  And, yep, you guessed it, the !129129 group is free to join!  This outfit comes rigged for:

  • Jake
  • Legacy

I’m wearing it on my Gianni X, because it’s full coverage so I could just alpha myself out.  😉  No idea how long this outfit will be out, so head over as soon as you read this!

Fresh As A Daisy

Fresh As A Daisy

OK Fabs these are exciting times!  I don’t think the lucky boards at Tentacio have changed in a year, but they have now, and you can almost make an entire free outfit from what you can win!

So fresh

I legit squealed when I saw these boards had changed, and I begged for help from our in-world group.  See, I’m at Tentacio almost every weekend.  I love her style and accessories, I wear them all the time.  When I saw you could put all of these together to make an outfit I knew I had to stand there alllllllllll day to win them.  In the end, I had to ask Sky to come hit the board with the top and then it finally gave me a “B”!  Anyway let’s talk about what I won:

  • Free Daisy top and belt in white(sized for: Lara X/Maitreya, Legacy, Reborn)
  • Free Boots in black (sized for: Lara X/Maitreya, Legacy, Reborn)
  • Free Garter in black (sized for: Lara X/Maitreya, Legacy, Reborn)

You can also win an adorable teddy bear headband (that matches all her other teddy accessories) but the photo on the board shows a hat, and I didn’t want to mix you guys up.  All the prizes come in one color, but each one has an accessory hud to change the trim and ribbons and things.

The best part, of course, is that you don’t need any group to play these lucky boards.  They’re on 10 minute timers, so it’s nice to play when others are there, go forth, get cute freebies and meet new friends!

 

Peace ☮️

Frigid Winter Days

Frigid Winter Days

Hey Fabs!  Nothing like waiting till the last minute, which of course is what I’ve done.  Today is the last day you can hunt for and bring home items from The Snowbound HuntAline and Beachy both showed you what they bought, but I thought the guys needed to know there’s some men’s items in this hunt too!

A steal

OK well I didn’t steal them, I did buy them, but the price is a steal.  This is what I purchased in the hunt:

  • 25L Jacket by Derdieb (sized for Legacy M only, worn on Gianni X in this picture)
  • 25L Hat by Scaunch (unrigged, resizeable)

Both of the items I’m wearing come in the same design but different colors.  Just drop into The Snowbound Hunt and check the keys on the wall, or you can look at the guide on Facebook.

I just wanted to mention this coffee mug again, incase you hadn’t see the other blog posts where I’m using it.  The Puffy mug is a free gift from [Dope+Mercy] for L’Homme group members, which is free to join.  It has a million colors and a really nice animation and will forever be my go-to coffee mug.  Make sure you grab it before it disappears!
