A Trip To Couture Boulevard

Snapshot_002I got a hot tip from FabFree Reader ZZ yesterday that there is a HUGE lot of absolutely free gifts from some of our favourite designers at Couture Boulevard!  I didn’t count them, but I would estimate that there are about 30 gifts available – and no need to join a group.  There you will find all kinds of gifts such as hair, clothing, accessories, footwear and so much more!  There was even a couple of things for men.

In the photo above I am wearing the Agnes Finney Spring Dress with the Lindy Appleigh Nude Pumps, which were both gifts from this event.  Below you will see a quick snapshot of the available gifts ;)

Snapshot_003Thanks ZZ, for that fabulous news!

ps.  Kyle – did you notice the cat? :P

Sweet Petite Serena

When I saw the name of this gift, I knew I had to blog it. I mean, I don’t meet people named Serena very often, but to find a cute, petite outfit by that name is rare indeed! :-)

sp_serenaf

Anyway, Joelle Bartfield of Sweet Petites is celebrating her 5th Rez Day and is giving us a gift: these Serena Strapless Tops and Knee Shorts in three jewel-toned colors. You’ll find the gift inside the store under the stairs – no group-join is needed. Happy Rez Day, Joelle – and thank you! :-D

My shoes were not free, but were a fabulous deal: 22 different colors for 50L. So that’s… [grabs calculator]… roughly 2.27L per pair! With all the color choices, I think they’ll be a terrific petite wardrobe addition for spring and summer. And you know how hard it is to find petite shoes! Grab these Pooka’s Flip Flops on the Marketplace.

They also have quite a few lucky boards on the back right of the store, kind of like on a patio.  They also have a Large Group Gift section on the right as soon as you walk into the store… This group is Free to join as well….

Sascha’s, Big and Small

If I were wearing this dress in real life, I’m certain that I would not be prancing through a meadow with deer. However, when I’m taking photos with my RL daughter hanging over my shoulder yelling, “Mommy, Mommy, DEER! Take a picture of the deer! You HAVE to take a picture of yourself with the deer,” then you take a picture of yourself with the deer. So… here we are. Me. And deer.

sascha_may4_001f

And a gorgeous gown from Sascha’s Designs! Sascha’s gives a new, different gown to group members every, single month. Plus, past years’ gowns are still out, yours for the taking! Isn’t that worth the 100L join fee? I think so! :-D The skin I’m in today is Charm/Snow by Cupcakes, and is part of a huge gift for signing up for their subscribo. This particular skin comes with black, blonde, brown, and red brows, 4 lipsticks, teeth and freckles tattoos, and a set of eyes. And let me dispel a myth: Cupcakes is not closing. They are retiring their full permission developer kits, but will still be selling the Cupcakes brand of skins. It’s all good. :-)

A few days ago, reader Jadelynne mentioned that you can wear the new Slink Nail Appliers without mesh hands, and I’m happy to say that she’s absolutely right! Behind the mesh hands display at Slink is a vendor for Slink Mesh Nails (150L). The nails auto-fit to your hands, and you can use all of your Slink Nail Appliers with these nails! You really can wear all those awesome, new nail appliers with or without mesh hands! Thank you, Jadelynne, for bringing this to my attention! :-) Oh, and isn’t this jewelry gorgeous? It’s a special Mother’s Day gift from Chop Zuey. The necklace and ring are group gifts (350L to join), and the earrings are free for everyone – no group needed. But hurry! I heard that these gifts will not be out for long, so don’t delay!

sascha_may15_001f

Did you know that Sasha’s Designs is making dresses for petites? I sure didn’t until I found this gown on the wall across from the regular-sized group gifts. Wear your group tag to pick it up; you’ll find it next to the “Just Say No” poster, which I promise you absolutely cannot miss! Both gowns come with a bolero jacket, which I decided not to wear.

Hey, those “cute” deer look kinda scary from down here! Is that little one looking at me? 8O
