Rano at The Arcade

Posted on June 15, 2013 by Serena Snowfield

Hello fabulous readers! Long exhausting day today, but before I fall asleep at the keyboard I wanted to show you this pretty dress from Liv-Glam, currently featured at this week’s Fi*Friday sales event. I know, I know: not free. But six different colors are included via HUD, so it’s like you’re getting six dresses for the price of one!

My hair is another group gift from Tram (free to join). Love showed it quite a while ago, but it’s still available, still free, and still cute!

Sweet dreams!

Sucked Into A Fantasy Part 2

Posted on June 5, 2013 by absolutelyfaux

I told you I would be back!

So to carry on showing you all the lucky chair prizes available at * Deviance * I will be showing you the Elementalist that is available in the in lucky chair located in the downstairs area. This is also a full outfit with two available trim options(gold or silver). I am wearing the silver trim above in the photo which is just so exceptionally beautiful I couldn’t not make it the one I wore in the photo.

This beautiful pink playboy bunny outfit I am wearing is also available from the lucky chair in the downstairs area at * Deviance *. It just like all the others it is a full outfit with a cute little bunny tail that I couldn’t get into the photo and a pair of pink ribbon cuffs also that I couldn’t fit in.

Well I covered almost all items in the lucky chair, but one that I could not get to have my letter while it was up for grabs.

That’s the end of this fantasy tale for me!

Sucked Into A Fantasy Part 1

Posted on June 5, 2013 by absolutelyfaux

I ran into * Deviance * today to find a Fairytale costume and stumbled about all the great free things in their lucky chair(in lower part) and a dollarbie right under their subscriber! The dollarbie under the subscriber is the beautiful Aqua Fae. Yes the full outfit! How great is that especially if you’re looking for a beautiful costume and are on a budget.

The strawberry colored fairy I am wearing above in this photo is a prize in the lucky chair that I mentioned about above. It is also a full outfit, but for free! This outfit includes the bodysuit, double layered skirt, the shoes, 2 wands(shimmer or no shimmer),and the wings which can be animated or non-animated.

Well this is only Part 1 of all the great things at * Deviance * so I will be back to show you more shortly!

Ivana Show You Something

Posted on June 2, 2013 by Love Trill

oOooOoo! I am lovin the latest bunch of gifts I put together here! Previously some of the Summer Fashion Festival gifts have been shown here on FabFree by both Goldie and myself, and the F a s h i o n F e a r s Belle Dress that I am wearing today is another to add to the huge lot of freebies/dollarbies available.

My skin is courtesy of Izzie’s which you can pick up if you are an inworld group member. The Ivana skin in the Pearl Porcelain Edition is available in both available in the freckle/mole version or plain. I am wearing the freckle / mole version. I SUPER love the fact that this comes with blonde brows too! The group is 250L to join, and there is always fantastic monthly gifts!

While you are at Izzie’s, make sure you have a peek on the desk for a 10L Clearout Package. I previously blogged a couple things from this box, but it’s STUFFED – way worth the 10L if you have it!

Don’t forget it’s VIP week at IKON! From the 1st – the 7th of each month, inworld group VIPS can pick up a free pair of eyes! This month, Ikon is giving away his brand new Destiny Eyes in Maya. These come in several sizes (I usually wear the M/L) and the group is free to join!

Caprice

Posted on May 30, 2013 by Serena Snowfield

I’m heading out for a night on the town in this sparkly Caprice dress, a group gift from Baby Monkey. The dress comes with a HUD, allowing you to select from 5 different color choices. The texture is very detailed, and my picture doesn’t really do it justice – you’ll have to go see for yourself! My pumps were featured in a FabFree Designer of the Day post a while back. They are also HUD-driven, and offer a choice of 20 different colors, all for only 10L. But hurry – I’ve heard that they won’t be out at this price for much longer. My jewelry is a current gift from Chop Zuey; the choker necklace and cuff bracelet are group gifts (350L to join), and the earrings are a gift for everyone, no group needed.

Dandelions & Cupcakes

Posted on May 30, 2013 by Love Trill

Hiya Fabulouses! I’m lounging around with my new friend that I met on the Izzie’s sim, wearing a brand new subscribomatic gift from Dandelion Wine. This gorgeous Mesh Lola Dress comes with a hud that allows for a pastel colour change X 4 with shades like white, pink, green and blue! All you have to do is go to the store and subscribe, then you are auto sent the dress!

This isn’t really my horse, I’m just borrowing it from Izzie, but I must say… It’s going to be a long night because the blogger before me fed the darn thing cupcakes! I had a heck of a time getting it to stand still for me. All that sugary pink frosting makes even the tamest of mares wild.

I don’t know what her name is, but I think Cupcake is a worthy name.

Frilly & Flouncy

Posted on May 28, 2013 by Serena Snowfield

I was hoping to post this yesterday, but my RL family got busy doing Memorial Day activities, and I didn’t get a chance. Thankfully, this comfy loungewear set is still available as a free gift from Prim & Pixel. Both pieces are mesh, and the HUD-controlled top lets you select an opaque or peek-a-boo look. Many other colors are available for sale in the store, and you can pick up a set in black for $5 as the P&P gift in the B & W Cat Hunt.

The skin I’m in today is from a brand-new, not-yet-open store called Flounce. It seems that Cupcakes has gone out of business, and one of the owners is in the process of opening Flounce. I popped into the store last night, joined the free group, and found this lovely skin in the group notices (4 brow colors are available). There is also a gift bag with a different skin in it set out in the store. Keep in mind that the store is technically not open for business yet, but it’s very kind of the owner to be thinking of us already with gifts.

Beachin’ It

Posted on May 26, 2013 by Serena Snowfield

In observance of Memorial Day, it’s a long weekend here in the U.S. And let me tell you, this extra day off couldn’t have come at a better time! I intend to relax and not do one useful thing today! I’ve headed out to the beach in this comfy, Summer Tropics Watermelon dress and hat, the May group gift from Hudson’s Clothing Co. (free to join). These texture-change sunglasses are a free gift from SteinWerk, and my over-sized beach bag is only 10L from Kakia Designs. It also comes with a lipstick and compact, in case you need to do a little touching up after a day of fun in the sun.

I’m really loving this new skin: Irene, the latest release from Izzie’s. This special version is currently featured at The Dressing Room Fusion for 70L, with a choice of three eyebrow colors. My jewelry, a free group gift from Miel, has been around for a while and shown many times here at FabFree, but I still like it because it’s so versatile. Both the beads and strings are texture-changing, so you can match them to just about anything. My hair was a holiday group gift from LeLutka, but I’m happy to report that you can still pick it up for free in the store. 8 different colors and a hat are included in the box.

Free as a Dove

Posted on May 23, 2013 by Serena Snowfield

Not long ago, a reader IM’d me to say that The Free Dove had added quite a few new designers and items. The Free Dove is a store with the new resident in mind; everything in the store is free, and you can find just about anything a new resident might need. Of course, I’d been to The Free Dove before, but not in quite a while, so I thought I’d head over and see what was new. I was so pleased to find that there are indeed many new designers and items, including some who are probably on your list of favorites! I picked up this sexy leather leggings and jacket combo (includes belt and ruffled choker) by Indyra Originals, and a few other items that I’ll probably show you later.

I got a notice this morning that {{BSD Design Studios}} had opened up their VIP group for free membership for a short time, so I stopped by and joined, and picked up the May group gift: this gorgeous pair of grey croco shoes. They come with a skin/nail HUD which is pretty easy to use. It was not specified in the message as to how long the group would be free to join, but I believe it will be at least until the end of the week. Don’t delay though; they offer great group gifts, and now’s the time to get in for free! Oh, and while I was there, I picked up this red croco bag, which is a free gift for AVENUE Magazine Readers (free to join).

My skin is called Emilia, and is another that was in the box I told you about last week for new Cupcakes subscribers. Emilia comes with 10 different lipsticks, 4 types of cleavage, and 2 pairs of eyes. Oh, and you can pick up this scrumptious hair by D!va at this month’s round of Collabor88. Two styles are included.

A Secret From the Shadows

Posted on May 16, 2013 by Serena Snowfield

Have you heard the secret? It’s Secret Wednesday! I know, I know; it’s Thursday now. And I apologize… I actually fell asleep last night before I could get this posted. I blame the FabFree shenanigans that Love told you about. Ahem… anyway, this sexy, mesh Boudoir Drape Dress II is one of six amazing Secret Wednesday deals found a Liv-Glam this week. Secret Wednesday sales items items are 49L each, and Liv-Glam typically keeps their sale items out all week long, so you should have a few more days to pick up this awesome dress. What I really love is the HUD which lets you choose one of six colors to wear as the back side. I’m wearing the fuschia/purple color, which you can see a hint of on the side. So with the HUD, it’s like you’re getting 6 different dresses in the box, so that works out to… <grabs calculator> a little over 8L per dress!

My jewelry is a previous group gift from Iron Tiger, and I’m disappointed to report that as of today, it is no longer free. You can, however, pick up a set in ruby or ice blue on sale for only 55L (necklace and earrings only), but I don’t know how long that deal will last. My clutch is still free (yay!) from Septem Essentia, and comes in both red and black, with our without a handle.
