I just had to shoot this gorgeous gown at a beautiful church so I traveled to this quaint Medieval Chapel on the Cloud Nine sim. It is really worth a visit!

The train of the gown is divine!

Putting the Fine in Finesmith

Finesmithblog

If for whatever reason you missed, Love’s FabFree Designer of The Day post on April 26th regarding Finesmith, then I am here to remind you to visit the store. This fierce take no prisoners pink and spiked jewelry set is everything with the earrings, necklace, and bracelet!  Now I don’t mind piecing together different jewelry pieces, but I love it when I can just slip on an entire set and know it will seamlessly go together! I actually first went to the store to retrieve the April gift, pictured below, and a few days later they had the May gift was out! Actually to be quiet honest, they have a series of group gifts available, just ready for the taking! Even better, the group is free to join! I know its a battle to manage which 42 groups to keep on your list, but I can tell you, that Finesmith has stayed on my group list for a very long time. The quality and detail of their jewelry is amazing, and the fact that a little piece of their creativity is released each month is just purely wonderful.

blog april19_002

The April gift comes with the earrings, necklace, and collar as separate pieces. What I like about that is, if I don’t want such an extravagant look, I can choose not to wear the collar piece while just sporting the other two items.

Spring Flowers And Winter Berries

kunglers3f

One of the wonderful things about Second Life is that when you tire of winter snow, there’s sure to be a warm-weather sim just a click away. I did a search for “garden” and wound up in this lovely, peaceful meadow – I feel like I’m in a Van Gogh painting. Look, I caught a butterfly!

kunglers5f

This gorgeous floral gown was recently sent to Kungler’s group members (check your group notices or head over to the store to pick one up). I love the way it hugs my curves in old Hollywood glam-style. The Kungler’s group is 50L to join, but every month group members receive something unique and beautiful – you won’t be disappointed! :-)

kunglers7f

My jewelry, called Winter Berries, are advent gifts from Chop Zuey Couture. These gifts are free to everyone, and are all still available, so pop over and pick yours up. My hair and skin are not free, but are both amazing deals from “”D!va”" and Glam Affair at Collabor88. The luscious lips of the skin and the wispy strands of hair… I couldn’t resist!

kunglers16f

I think I’ll just stand here and drink in the beauty of nature for a while. It’s a long time until spring comes… in real life, that is.

Hello World!

Fabulously Free in SL - Hello World!

“Hello World” is the dorky title that WordPress gives every new blog as a sample post, but I thought it was appropriate for this post, for a variety of reasons. :-)

So… hello Fabulouses! As I was leaving this lovely cafe – late as usual – I got a call from Renee Lowenhart inviting me to join the FabFree team. Of course I said yes, but after I hung up, I had to sit down and hyperventilate for a few minutes. I mean, I’m just a small-town girl who likes to “play dress up.” What do I know about fashion? How am I going to know what to write? How am I going to know what to wear???

[breathe in... breathe out... repeat... repeat...]

Ok, better now. I’ll admit that I’m still a bit stunned and nervous, but the folks here at FabFree have really gone out of their way to make me feel welcome and at home (thank you!). I apologize that some of the items I’m wearing in this post are no longer available for free (I went back and checked)… I originally did this picture about a week or so ago, and decided that I liked it and wanted to share it with you anyway. I promise that I’ll do better next time, and my next post will have more freebies!

My outfit, I’m happy to say, is available from Purple Moon as their With Love Hunt prize. I love, love, love the texture of the suede skirt and the way the shirt drapes so naturally. My jewelry is from two previous gifts offered by Chop Zuey, which I’m sorry to say are no longer available. However… there are a couple of pretty gifts there now, which Love previously blogged about here. Gifts are located in the center of the store, and you don’t need to join a group to get them.

My fabulous phone pose is from the “Call Me” set by aDORKable Poses, and is their With Love Hunt prize. I’m sure you’ve already seen it all over the blogs, but I just can’t resist a good pose prop. There are 10 poses in the package, which for 10L is truly amazing! Don’t forget: you’re looking for a little red box with a black bow.

Oh no… will you look at the time? I’m off to find more goodies for you!

She’s an aDORKable D!va in her Sascha’s…

Adorkable D!va in Sascha's4

Shhhhhhh don’t tell Sascha…but I am previewing her November Member Group Gift…it is 50L to join her group, Sascha’s Designs…but she does that to keep the spammers out AND she makes it worth your lindens to join!!  Once you become a member you have access to an amazing array of previous monthly group gifts.  Sascha is also very generous with her members…with impromptu sales and 60L weekends…not to mention you usually get several skirt & top options in each dress you buy along with whatever accessories she has created for that gown/outfit (yes she does create more than just those gorgeous gowns). This monthly gown comes with the FrubbelDubbel (hey I didn’t name it!) skirt you see and you will also have the options to purchase the extra skirt styles.  Trust me…they are worth it!

Adorkable D!va in Sascha's3

I scored more fabulously free items with two more group gifts!!  The adorable Norma hair in Ruby is from D!va and it comes with a Bat Wing option…just in time for that haunting holiday coming just around the corner.  Norma is a group member gift but the group is free to join AND membership gives you access to lots of more pretty previous member group gifts….that is just all kinds of awesome.  The gorgeous peach and white diamond necklace is part of the Romance Set from Virtual Impressions (previous group gift/free to join)…Chrissy designs wonderful jewelry and she generously puts one of her designs out for her members to grab every month.  In addition to the monthly group gift…Virtual Impressions features other items at fabulous sale prices throughout the month.

My oh-so-enchanting pose is from aDORKable Poses.  It isn’t free (200L)…BUT you get four beautiful poses and the petals to wear for taking equally enchanting pictures of yourself in your Sascha’s gowns.   When you purchase your aDORKable poses at the inworld store you automatically bank 10% of the purchase price, as store credit, to put toward future store purchases….group membership NOT required!  I purchased some of my poses at her Marketplace store and had a few minor issues that ADORKable graciously and promptly rectified.

My shoes, skin, eyes and eyelashes were also not free but I shall list the details below.

The pics were shot on location at the Virtual Impressions landing point.

So what are you waiting for…go grab these fantastic freebies and get all gussied up…you deserve it <3<3

Samhain’s Gacha, Has Me Putting Spiders On My Body!

gachapost_011


I have an interesting relationship with spiders, I’m as scared of them as they are of me, so we normally don’t cross paths intentionally. However, the goodies at Samhain Gacha Event may have just changed this relationship for the better. The treats here blew my clothes off! Hence, me standing here in just my undergarments with spiders roaming my body. I let these creepy crawlers travel up my backside and down my frontside with this exquisite lingerie set and make-up called CB ~ Spiders- Outfit by Carrie Bridger of Carrie’s Lingerie.


gachapost_009gachapost_002


There is great detail on the top and bottom, and this is a perfect outfit for ending your Halloween festivities with you significant other. But, if you are like me and SL has a double meaning to also include Single Life, you can just look delicious for yourself.


gachapost_008


Now that we covered the lingerie and spiders, lets move on to the Spunki Dunk-Blue hair. I love the skulls at the front and back of the hair, it added a little funk to the outfit, and I will definitely rock this again. It doesn’t have to be Halloween to rocks skulls, plus blue is my favorite color.


gachapost_012


Lastly, whats an outfit without accessories! The *Petite* Elf black tears are another treat I found at the Samhain Gacha Event, made by [[A.R.C.+F.N.]]. The lovely pearl necklace, earrings, and bracelet set is created by, AIDORU. And yes, I am still wearing those black booties, please don’t judge me, I know I need help. :-D


Samhain Gacha


All together the Samhain Gacha Event has a lot of great items, if I could have attached it all to my body I would have! I also wanted to make sure you all had a sneak peek early enough, so you could make your way over and pick up things for yourself. Everything is not Halloween themed, so you can get items that cross over to different seasons. Plus, how can you turn down some trick or treat fun for around $25L an item.

ILLMATIC to the Max

*Warning: If you stare too hard at this picture, the dress may hypnotize you, and who knows what kind of subliminal messages I might be sending*

post4_002

I have said it once, and I will say it again. I love when a Mesh dress hugs my curves, and I am sure you see how well this dress accentuates all the right places. You cannot go wrong with this long maxi dress from Illmatic. You can either dress it up with some heels, accessories, and the right hair or throw all that to the side and go prancing around the house bare foot.

Illmatic Maxi Dress

In my case, I went ahead and dressed it up with these extremely fashionable black studded booties from Lethal Couture. Now, these booties almost go with anything! I am convince that these shoes may be stuck on my feet until the end of this week, and maybe on to next week. I might just need an intervention.

Two Sisters Treasure

To complete the look, I added a necklace and earrings that I received from Two Sisters Treasures free jewelry Pumpkin hunt. FYI, this hunt is going on until November and takes place all over their sim, so be sure to venture outside the jewelry store and into their other stores looking for small orange pumpkins. Additionally, you do not have to join the group to do the hunt, but group members do get to indulge in their monthly gifts.
