Splashes Of Colour

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.

Plastik Is A Girl’s Best Friend

Wow, my first post as a FabFree blogger! Persephone Sorbet here, but call me Perse! I’m super excited to be given the opportunity to share my love of freebies with the SL community. So, let’s get started!

For my first look, I want to show you all some of the lovely gifts offered by The Plastik. The creator has generously put out two separate gifts – one for the month of April and one in honour of boobies! In this instance, mesh breasts. I eagerly unpacked each box and immediately knew what I wanted to show you guys. Each gift box is 10L, but you get so many things inside each one, I totally recommend buying both.

These Aeda slacks come with many cuff options, for skinny leg, flare leg, digilegs, animal legs, and capris! She also includes a short pair for shorts and minis! I also want to talk about this fabulous corset: it’s called Volkano, and it sure is hot! It comes on all layers, and also includes an applier for Tango breasts. It looks awesome either way! The Anathema Jean boots I have on are also from the Plastik, and are 100% mesh. I am wearing the XL size, and they’re a great fit. They come with three different show colour options – black, colour, and white.

Now, there’s another freebie in my post that I want to mention – although there isn’t a close up, the lovely green eyes I have on are the free gift from Poetic Color. They are incredibly realistic and are absolutely free! My nails are a Pink Fusion hunt prize from . The bracelet is a lovely full perm freebie from BoHo Hobo, and comes in a few patterns and colours.

Crushin’ On Jasmyne

Today I picked up the April group gift at LIV Glam and was pleasantly surprised with a vibrantly coloured summer mesh dress called Jasmyne Print Dress.    This off the shoulder beauty will have all heads turning your way!  The group is 500L to join, however there are new gifts every month and well over 100 gifts to pick up making the fee well worth it.

Match it up with one of the Gia Clutch Purses in the Ricielli Easter Hunt (15L for the whole fatpack of colours).  The clutches are #9 in the hunt and as you can see below there are many fantastic prizes to be found in the way of skins, makeup, clothing and accessories.

Want a little sneak peek of the next round at Collabor88?  Collabor88 will be putting out a new round of goodies in just a few days and this time PXL Creations will be participating!  They will be offering their brand new Jade skin in the four makeup shades of berry, cherry, crush and lime.  Why am I suddenly thirsty?

Prisms of Love

I have a bit of a quickie post for you this time! I was down at Prism and noticed they have a few hunts going on. I located the “Let Your Creations Be Known Hunt” icon (which is a little bench) in store, and inside the hunt icon was the non-mesh Collette Outfit that includes the Sweater, Skirt & Sweater Sash shown.   This particular hunt ends tomorrow, Monday March 31st, so you’ll need to act quickly!  Make sure you check their hunt boards for more fantastic prizes too!

The Feathered Mayan Pendant I am wearing with my outfit is a free Swag Bag Gift from Graffitiwear at .the event. HOLLYWOOD.  This is unisex and looks just as great on a man as it does on a woman!

Thanks to my “Sim Scout”, JD for finding this cool location for pictures!

LIVing Glam & Hunting For Earrings!

Oh thank goodness this week is nearly over! It’s been a crazy busy one for me, and it’s driving me crazy that there are so many gorgeous gifts and hunts and events out there, and just not enough time to share them all!  I’ll attempt to catch up a little tonight…

At LIV Glam there are over 125 group gifts to pick up, and the beautiful mesh colour-blocked dress I am wearing is just the latest of the bunch!  It comes to you via their new fancy dancey HUD system that allows you to wear the hud, and choose your dress size.  Then it sends you the dress and allows you to change the colour with the hud!  So.. really, it’s several dresses in one with all of the colours to choose from!   The thing I like best about the hud system that they use, is that I can keep just the hud in my inventory instead of all of the sizes and colours, making it appear that I am not a SL fashion hoarder when in fact, they are all just clever folded and tucked away inside the hud!   I chose to wear the green and black to match with my new IKON Ardent Sage Eyes that are available at The Boutique.  The LIV Glam group is 500L to join, but as I mentioned…  there are a ton of fabulous gifts making that fee seem like nothin!

The black tote bag I have added is not a free gift, however it can be found at the Duh! Mainstore for just 20L in a few different colours.

The sweet skin I am in today is a new release from Mirror’s Enigma called Croix.  She does have some lovely lips doesn’t she?

The Silver Flores Earrings I am wearing with my outfit today will be hidden at the Pure Poison Mainstore on April 3rd (10L Easter Hunt).  In fact, they will have a pair hidden each day, starting today and ending on April 3.

The Spring Is Near Hunt Is A Real Hoot!

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!

If you haven’t been to The Whore Couture Fair 2 yet, make sure you go soon because it ends in 6 days!  You can find this amazing skin made by qbee, exclusively featured.  This one in particular is called Iris Skin * Hell Flower and I LOVE LOVE LOVE the lips and eye makeup.

My Easter Bunny Necklace can be found as the latest group gift at Sweet Leonard.  The group is 80L to join and there are several gifts to snag!

I also want to mention my eyes! Every time Ikon Innovia releases new eyes, I think “WOW, there is no way he can top these”, but it happens time after time!  This time with his new Ardent Eyes that are being featured at The Boutique in several colours.  The warm, inviting shade I am wearing today is called Parchment.

Alice In RMK Bunny Hunt

The second annual Alice In RMK Bunny Hunt began on March 1st and runs until March 31st.  There are 26 absolutely free prizes to be found in this hunt.  I have put together a post of a handful of the items just to give you enough of a taste to get your butt down to the RMK sim and check it out.  This isn’t your usual “find the icon and grab the prize” kind of hunt.  This hunt is a hunt with a twist!

You can find hunting instructions and a list of participating stores at their official blog in several languages, but I’ll give you a simple rundown here

First thing you do, is go to the STARTING POINT.  There you will accept the hunt terms, and walk through them.  Then you will click on Humpty Dumpty to receive your free Card Soldier outfit.  There are several Card Soldier Outfits, but you can only receive one.  Some are rarer than others.  This is the perfect hunting outfit because it doesn’t contain any scripts and will ensure you have a low lag experience, but you don’t have to wear it to hunt!  After you have collected your Card Soldier, you can enter through the little door under Humpty to the garden area.

Once you are in the garden area you need to chase bunnies!  Literally.. look all over the place (and these are not limited to the garden, they could be anywhere!) for the little grey hoppy bunnies.  Once you have found a bunny, follow it around and don’t lose it, because it will eventually drop a ticket that you’ll need to pick up.  Keep an eye on that bunny, because it will only be dropping one ticket, and anyone could snatch it up before you get it!

After you have your ticket, wear it, and go to the co-ordinating store to search for an Alice In Wonderland Book which you will click on and it will give you the prize.   Normally these books are just on the reception desks, however a few I saw cleverly hidden.  DevinVaughn, who introduced me to this hunt, and was a big help explaining it all, gave me a time saving tip – which was to use the SLURLS on the main blog, not the actual landmarks in the tickets, because some of them are not correct.  There are last minute changes in hunts, and that’s to be understood with all that goes on organizing a hunt, but the SLURLS on the website work!  If you receive duplicate tickets, you can trade with others.  There is a Ticket Trading Area… but you can trade anywhere.

CHECK OUT SOME OF THE PRIZES:

WEG Alice Another II Dress (free / 0L / RMK Bunny Hunt)
SOUP Alice Rabbit (free / 0L / RMK Bunny Hunt)

Been looking for a fun mesh avatar to give your pals a giggle?  Hidden in a ladybug hunt icon for the Spring Is Near Sim Wide Hunt at Acid Lily is this adorkable complete mesh avatar called Nuigurumar Doll that you can wear with the mesh head or your own head for a more human look.  It includes the little pocket bear as well.  This avatar is not really gender specific…  I bet it would work for guys too!

This hunt runs until April 9th and each prize is 5L.  You can find a hint to this prize on their official blog - http://acidlilygallery.wordpress.com/spring-is-near-hunt/
