Donna Flora in Mayfair

Posted on April 15, 2013 by Serena Snowfield

What’s more fun than an afternoon of shopping? Why, an afternoon of freebies, of course! I wandered into Donna Flora a few days ago, and found this sexy Nadine dress set out as a group gift (free to join). This is a great one for those of you who don’t like mesh, and take a look at that side cleavage! I added my Lolita Espadrilles by [Gos], not because they’re free (they are not free), but to remind myself to tell you that the Gos Boutique group is currently only 50L to join. Group members not only get fabulous gifts, but they also get a 10% discount on every purchase. I don’t know how long the discounted join-fee will last, but it will go back up to 500L when gifts are set out.

I am once again wearing the Glam Affair Margot skin, which is featured at the current round of Collabor88. I know, I know; I wore this one last time, but I bought the fatpack, and just couldn’t help myself! My earrings are a Donna Flora dollarbie (1L) called Violetta.

Also in the Donna Flora dollarbie section is this pretty, pink Bijoux dress, perfect for a night on the town. There are quite a few dresses, hairs, and jewelry pieces set out in this area, so be sure to take a look around! I added the Sofia shoes, which are available as a free gift (oL), and a clutch purse from Septem Essentia (0L). The bag also comes in red.

I love Donna Flora’s gorgeous, chunky jewelry. Can you believe this set is a free gift?

Splashes Of Colour

Posted on April 11, 2013 by Love Trill

Whew! It has been a busy and exciting week here at FabFree with the addition of three new bloggers (Goldie, Perse & Care… AND there are still a couple more to come!) and a guest post by Kyle Beckett! Before I start my “blah blah blah” about my outfit, I’d like to say again how wonderful it is to be adding new writers into the mix. I am looking forward to seeing a wider variety of fashion styles, and stores being shown here. I also wanted to thank Kyle Beckett for the awesome guest post he did, covering many of the men’s swag bag gifts at the. event HOLLYWOOD (which is ending in just 3 days btw!)

Now, onto the “blah blah blah”…

Today I am wearing Mirror Enigma’s latest group gift for April which is the mesh Superbia Dress in white and black. This group is a little different than most. The group is free to join, however to receive an invite to the group, you must make a purchase in the store. I have added to the Superbia Dress a splash of colour with the Cowhide Totes that are part of Ricielli’s Easter Hunt (15L for both).

I picked up the Petit Heart Earrings in Pearl and the Pearl Necklace in the R+a marketplace store for free! You should check out their entire store while you are picking them up actually because they have a ton of jewelry pieces under 10L.

I Can Barely See – Part 1 Of 2

Posted on April 6, 2013 by Love Trill

Hiya Fabbies! You’ll have to bare with me… (Is it bare or bear? Must be bare…) My RL glasses are broken and I am squishing my eyes trying to see through my glued and taped together specs LMAO. Hopefully next week I’ll have a brand new pair and can SEE again! I found a hilarious matching pair to my RL glasses in the SPLASH marketplace store. They aren’t free – 100L, but I wanted to share them because I thought it was funny.

This blog post actually ran away with me a bit and I am splitting it up into two because the credits were about three miles long! So.. in this post I will share with you what I’m wearing, and in the next post, I’ll share all the other stuff, because a lot of the furnishings you see are free / under 10L too!

Today I am wearing the newly released Maya outfit at LIV Glam that consists of the mesh skirt and matching vest/ printed puppy top. When LIV Glam realeases new items – they are 99L for a limited time, and then go up to their regular price, so it’s best to keep an eye on the new releases, and get them new at their lowest price! The Mosh Pit Combat Boots in FLORA print are the latest group gift at Sn@tch, available in store now to VIPs. It is 250L to join the group.

Stay tuned to find out more about the furnishings you see in the photos! BRB Gotta let the dog out!

A Pretty Sunday on Monday

Posted on April 1, 2013 by Serena Snowfield

Puppies… you just never know what they’ll find. Looks like Nessie has found herself a friend this morning, even if they’re both at a cautious standoff.

The White Armory is offering something a little different as their free group gift this week: this Pretty Sunday Dress. The dress is mesh, and comes in 5 standard sizes. Contact Ida Donardson in-world for an invitation to join this free group.

My Classic Pearls jewelry (necklace, bracelet, ring, and earrings) is a free gift from Lazuri. You’ll find it on the wall across from the current group gift, and you don’t even have to join the free Lazuri group to get it. The entire set is texture change, with 11 different pearls and 3 metals. You can even mix and match!

Ok, silly puppy, what have you done now?

Happy Easter!

Posted on March 29, 2013 by Love Trill

J StyleZ has designed a very cute mesh spring dress called Niamh for the Spring Is Near Acid Lily Simwide Hunt. The adorable daffodil printed dress is just what I needed for this weekend and you can find it hidden in a lady bug hunt icon at Acid Lily (5L).

I found the Easter Basket shown on marketplace in the !gO! store for just 1L. I may have to take some little chickies out and make room for some Cadbury’s Easter Cream Eggs (mmm those are my favourite Easter candy craving!), but it is pretty cute with the dress! I’m curious now… What’s your “Easter Candy Poison”?

The skin I am in today is a free gift from HUIT in celebration of the opening of there new R2 location. It comes with cleavage and no cleavage option and there is no need to join a group – just go visit the shop and pick it up!

Happy Easter to all of our Fabulous Readers, however you decide to celebrate this sweet spring long weekend!

The Spring is Near Simwide hunt that is being held at Acid Lily Is still running, and will run until April 9th which gives you plenty of time for hunting! The Adorable Owl Dress that I am wearing is a gift hidden in a lady bug icon, priced at 5L. This mesh design is made by LavandaChic and comes in several sizes with an alpha layer.

Another prize I am displaying is the MishMish Shrubbies Plushie (5L) that comes with an animated pose / no pose option. I have no idea what a Shrubbies is, but it’s awfully cute!

Yoony Is Tough As Nails

Posted on March 20, 2013 by Love Trill

A faithful fabulous reader sent me an IM the other day to let me know that Yoon Beauty has some really great group gifts so I headed on over there only to find there are several free group gift skins as well as a shape or two! The group is free to join too! My favourite of the bunch is the Yoony skin which is a fantastic every day skin with brown eyebrows. Keep those IMs and notecards coming in with tips!! I appreciate them - THANK YOU!

You can find this sexy Slip On Set in Black, made by 1 Hundred at The Designer’s Showcase this month on sale for just 85L. If you like this outfit and would like other colours, they are available at the 1 Hundred mainstore for 100L.

Need a little splash of colour around your wrist, like I did? Stop in at The FabFree Headquarters and pick up the K2K Color Beads Freebie (0L!)

Just one more thing to share with you… Adoness is hosting a Tough As Nails in store hunt until May 12th, where you can locate 10 hidden apples (I’m holding the example in the photo) priced between 0-10L.

Inside these apple icons you will find the following gorgeous prim nails that have been exclusively designed for this hunt. You won’t find them in the regular line. Since some of them cost a few lindens, the prize preview is great because you can clearly see what you are getting before you pick it up!
