Crazy For Corsets At Adoness

Posted on February 25, 2013 by Love Trill

If I had to choose just one thing that I love from Adoness, I would have to say it is the corsets! I SUPER LOVE the corsets from Adoness because they fit just right, and are textured perfectly every time, making a plain jane outfit – POP! Until the 28th of February you can hunt in the shop for the Jack or Jill hunt icon, and once you have located it, you can pick it up for free. Inside the hunt icon is this very smexy mesh Vesna Corset in the colour of berry. Under the corset, I am wearing one of Janes free Intrinsic Tank Tops, but you could make it even sexier with a lacy black bra.

While I am on the subject of corsets at Adoness, this week, until the 28th is The Adoness Days of Corsets where you can pick up a different corset every day for 20L. During this time, the group is free to join (normally there is a fee), and you can pick up the latest group gift which is the Love Fairy Nails, also in berry that match the JoJH gift perfectly!

FaMESHed on a Monday Afternoon

Posted on February 4, 2013 by Serena Snowfield

I was feeling the need for a caffeine pick-me-up this afternoon, so I headed over to the local cafe… wow, look at the spread! I think I’ll be adding a little sugar to my caffeine so I’m ready to take on the rest of this looong Monday!

I’m sure you know that the monthly event, FaMESHed, offers some amazing mesh designs from around the grid. But did you know there are some free group gifts there, too? The FaMESHed group is free to join, so be sure to pick up this sexy, striped Tank Dress, the women’s gift from Valentina E. I’ve added the Belinda Necklace from Virtual Impressions that Love showed earlier today, along with the these 60′s Gogo Disk Earrings, the latest group gift from Maxi Gossamer (free to join, check notices). As with most of Maxi’s jewelry, these earrings are size and texture change. My Move Pumps from [elikatira] are not free, but are a great value on sale at 70% off!

This silk Open Shirt from Kuana is the second group gift at FaMESHed. It’s actually a men’s shirt, but I think it looks pretty good on me, too. You guys know what happens when you leave your shirts laying around, right? I’ve added the Roll Up Jeans group gift from *Airflow* (free to join) and an Intrinsic Tank from Jane (free gift). Completing the look is this Gathered Hearts jewelry set, the Pimp My Valentine Hunt gift from Eclectica. The PMVH runs until 15 February, and all items are free.

Official Pimp My Valentine Hunt Blog

This gorgeous Harlow skin, the February group gift from Izzie’s, is a special treat for us redheads! It comes with two brow colors: a dark red, and the pale ginger that I’m wearing. Izzie’s group is 250L to join, but the gifts are always very generous, and so worth the join fee. I’m also wearing the lovely Lucid Eyes from IKON, which Love and Gavin have both blogged before, but I just couldn’t resist showing them to you myself. IKON group gifts are available from the 1st through 7th of each month, and the group is free to join.

Now… I think a cappuccino and a slice of pie ought to get me through the rest of this day!

Here’s What’s New in 2013!

Posted on January 2, 2013 by Serena Snowfield

Believe it or not, I spent New Year’s Eve in bed with the flu… or something just as bad. Not the best kickoff to 2013, eh? But while I could still hold my head up, I spent some time looking for gifts in the New in 2013 Hunt. I don’t know if it was my fuzzy head or what, but I’ll admit that there were a few items I could not find. And another was so big that I could not wear it without eating more Christmas cookies and adding some Lolas! It’s a fun hunt with great prizes, and here’s a mash-up of what I did find… plus a few bonuses.

Above, I’m wearing the complete outfit, including top, pants, and sweater boots, from Shattered by Aluinn (#31). I’ve added the breezy L’Bow Flow by DRIFT (#22). Surrounding me are 4 very stylish lamps from [CIRCA] (#4), and the Fly Away decal is by Wall Candy (#1). My pose is from a set of 3 by Demise of Flight (#24).

These charming CandyApple eyes (below) are part of the gift from IKON (#23). Note: there are 2 sets of IKON eyes in 2 different locations, so keep looking until you find the other set! My Helga hair is from *Alice Project* (#15). It comes with a color-changing HUD, but let me warm you: if you’re going to change the color, read the instructions that come with the hair (notecard in the package). I didn’t (I blame my virus-addled brain), and went back to the store twice for another batch before I realized that I needed to read the instructions! I can’t emphasize this enough.

These Black Cat Leggings are from -ATTIC- (#9), and the mesh arm warmers and cowl scarf are from .::IRON CLAW::. (#11). I added an Intrinsic Tank from JANE (free / 0L) and some boots by Gos (not free). The cute bunny bookcase is from [End of Daze] (#21). My pose is another in the set from Demise of Flight (#24).

This lovely, LUMINOUS gown is the gift from [Liv-Glam] (#25); the bodice is mesh and comes in standard sizing. The mesh cubed bookcase behind me is from ChiC buildings (#17), and the table lamp waaay up high is from .:Senzafine (#3).

This stunning make-up (below) is the gift from Adore&Abhor (#13). The shimmery shadow really complements my icy blue Yue eyes from [UMEBOSHI] (#18). I added the Chantelle Gold/Ruby jewelry set, which is the Peace on Earth Hunt gift from Beloved Jewelry, and the new January gift hair from >TRUTH<, which Love blogged about here. Call me “old school,” but I do love an updo with a formal gown (plus, I just couldn’t wait to try on the hair!).

Here, I’m wearing the purple Duffle Coat from OMG! (#36, mesh, standard sizing), along with the Cool Blue jeans from 20.FIVE (#26 – ironic), and a pair of Boardwalkers from ::Ci Co.:: (#8). I added another tank from JANE, and the Silver Heart necklace and choker, which was Christmas gift from Maxi Gossamer Jewellery (0L / free to join / check notices). My pose is the last in the set from Demise of Flight (#24). The precariously stacked bookcase next to me is from [Atooly] (#12). Is that a 13?

I really need to get out more. So here I am sitting on my new beach house from ..:HC Creations:.. (#29). It’s perfect for a warm-weather getaway – in case you’re super sick of snow by now – and comes with several extra rezzable items (the flower boxes and some posters inside), as well as a little sleeping nook upstairs.

Below, you can get a better view of my MG necklace. I added these cool sunglasses from AZOURY (#19). 2013′s so bright, I gotta wear shades!

The New in 2013 Hunt ends on January 20th, so you’ve got plenty of time to find these great gifts. You’ll be looking for a blue “2013.” Please visit the official blog for hints and more information.

Belated Happy New Year to all of you – I hope your year got off to a much better start than mine did!!

Love’s Layers of Black & Blue

Posted on November 28, 2012 by Love Trill

Today I had a great time putting together this fun layered black and blue outfit and most of the pieces are under 10L, so I thought I’d share it with the FabFree readers too!

The even.flow mesh Enviro Vest that is featured at Acid Lily this week for 70L is what inspired the whole thing, lol and I know – it’s not free, but we do need to do our share of supporting these wonderful gift givers as well! The Jacqueline Outfit that I picked up for 10L at The Wash’s Black Event had a pair of jeans and a black sweater in it that was perfect for layering under my new vest. The Jacqueline Outfit includes several pieces for mix and matching at a super deal of 10L. Under the sweater which has a super low scoop neck, I put on a free Intrinsic Tank Top from Jane in black. Next I needed some boots, and The Black Event hooked me up there too! I put on my Battle Fairy Grungies Boots (10L @ The Wash), and finished the outfit off with an Essentials Blue Scarf made by even.flow that you can find at Acid Lily this week for 1L. There you have it – Love’s layers of black & blue!

ps. While you are at Acid Lily picking up this sweet vest, join the free inworld group and pick up the lingerie that is still out as a group gift. I showed it a couple weeks back at this link - http://fabfree.wordpress.com/2012/11/15/even-flow-spoils-acid-lily-group-members/

Foppish Wynter Wonderland

Posted on November 26, 2012 by Renee Lowenhart

Snow has officially fallen all over SL. Foppish has new group gift that will keep you warm while enjoying this winter wonderland. The Bicolor Penguin coat is completely mesh and includes a mesh cami (not shown). The sassy short Iris hair was sent to ChiChickie! sub-o members a few weeks ago and is still available in the history. Love showed the Wynter skin from Belleza last week. This skin was L$50 for Fifty Linden Friday. If you somehow missed it, the skin is now available for L$500.

Mocking Pirate Arts

Posted on September 30, 2012 by Love Trill

Yesterday I got an IM from FabFree reader WildOrchid Josephina to let me know that there is a huge amount of free group gifts at Pirate Arts! She was right – there is about 10-15 free gifts waiting for VIPs to come take advantage of in the way of footwear, pants, tops, jackets, accessories etc! After joining the free inworld group, I snagged the Mesh Glam Jacket in red and put together a casual outfit. Under the jacket I am wearing the Needful Things Pale Romper in light gold from Jane which is a freebie in store in an entire fatpack of colours. I am wearing my usual Al Vulo Polly skin, but over it, I am wearing the Rumour Has It Makeover made by MOCK that was recently sent out to group members. There are several gifts sitting there in past notices, such as the Cow Nail Experiment I am wearing on my nails as well. The group is 250L to join, but I really have never seen a group with so many gifts! Well worth it, I say!

Thank you WildOrchid for your hot tip! This jacket is awesome

A Pleasant Peasant

Posted on September 18, 2012 by Love Trill

Recently I posted about these gorgeous eyes you can pick up free at Hudson’s Clothing Co., but they also have an amazing Fat Belted Cream Peasant Skirt set out as the newest group gift! The group is free to join, and the lingerie that I have previously posted is still available as well. This is not a mesh skirt, and is very flowy with adorable embroidered detailing and a realistic looking belt. I chose to show it with a bit of a “boho” look to it, but you could pair this skirt up with a peasant top or even a denim jacket. The options are endless!

HINAKO Featured At Acid Lily

Posted on September 18, 2012 by Love Trill

Acid Lily has a new round of goodies again this week and as always, the Fashion Gallery is packed with wonderful goodies, all priced under 70L. There are a few new designers participating such as HINAKO! They are featuring their Belinda Bunny Hair in Cocoa Red that does include the bunny ears for 70L and also they have an adorable dollarbie! You can grab the Mesh Ladies Denim A Dress for just 1L right beside the Belinda Bunny Hair. I wore my Jane Intrinsic Tank with it, but you could wear it with a bra, bikini or even a long sleeved shirt for fall! The MG Candy Love Heart Necklace is a Gacha prize that I picked up from The Arcade Gacha Event for 25L. Kyle and I checked it out yesterday and there are quite a few really interesting things to be found there – make sure you check it out!

Casual Thursday

Posted on August 30, 2012 by Love Trill

I think I might be a day early for “Casual Friday”, but there is nothing wrong with a little eagerness right? One of my favourite things to find in SL is a great pair of jeans, because they go with so many things! Auxiliary sent out these mesh Luna Jeans in the shade of smoke to their group members the other day. You can find this gift by joining, and checking the notices. The group is currently free to join, but I have a feeling there will be a fee soon, so join now and avoid the fee!

I picked up the mesh Fleece Zip Hoodie as a group gift at Foppish, a brand new store in SL. The inworld group is free to join. I also am wearing Jane’s Intrinsic Tank in Charcoal which is a free at Jane’s in the entire fatpack of colours.

Prim & Pixel Sione

Posted on August 2, 2012 by Renee Lowenhart

Yesterday while at Prim & Pixel picking up the Mesh Hawaiian shirt for men, I found lots of free wearable demos. I really like the mesh leather jacket which looks nice with a pair of brown jeans and a plain tank.

If you feel like a stroll on the beach grab the pink Casual Beachwear print top and pant set. There’s also a free green Beach Cover Up at Prim & Pixel.

The red floral Mono dress has a summery feel. What I like about the mesh at Prim & Pixel is it actually fits me! Granted I had to put on the XL size, but typically I have to alter my shape for mesh. There are a few more mesh demo gifts I didn’t show (because I kept crashing), be sure to get them all! The punkish hair is from Amacci and is called Sione. The hair is a new release and available at the store now.
