Fatpacking Alex – For Free

Yeah… It’s Monday and there isn’t a whole lot that can fix a Monday, but I think this group gift might be able to sweeten it up just a little!  Serena showed the group gift at Chandelle last week (HERE), and she mentioned that it was the free to join group gift and that there was a  paid group as well with another gift.  In this post, I am going to show you the group gift for the VIP group that you pay 100L for.

I have been a member of this group for months and months, and I have been pleased with each gift that comes out – usually in a whole fatpack, like the mesh Alex Dress, which is the current gift that comes in 8 colours.

The skin I am in today isn’t free, but it is one heck of a steal at SYSP this month  You can find Mirror’s Enigma’s Ira in light skin tone for 99L and Ydreece has thrown in a bunch of goodies like French nail cloves, eye brow shapers, a couple of eyeshadow & lipstick layers, teeth & cleavage option, and even a couple of shapes – all for just 99L!

Glamorized & Living Glam

Hey Fabulouses!  I know, I know…  It appears that I have been slacking in the blogging department!  RL has been busy, but I think this week will be a little easier on me lol so I can catch up and share some freebies.  The dress I am wearing today was just screaming “BLOG ME LOVE!” on Friday and it’s been killing me to have to wait this long to get it out, but here it is!

Just one of the three new group gifts at LIV-Glam – This dress is called Signilda and comes in the way of one of their fancy schmancy hud systems that allows you to change the colour!  I chose red, but there are a few others to choose from.  The group is 500L to join, and I know I say this all the time – but it’s “so worth it” with all of the gifts available.

The other day Glamorize was chosen as The FabFree Designer of The Day (POST HERE) and we showed a couple of lovely jewelry sets for just 7L each, but they also have a fatpack of Roundabout Earrings in four colours priced at just 10L for all of them.  I am wearing the Shadow shade.

The skin I am in today is a brand new release made by Mirror’s Enigma called Azuka which can be found at their mainstore in a wide variety of skin tones.  There are also  co-ordinating makeup layers too!

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.

Minty Inspiratons

I often receive IM’s from readers saying that I had inspired their outfits, and this totally goes both ways because there have been several times that I am inspired by YOU!  Like today, for example.  FabFree reader Daisy Bridger sent me an IM asking for some fashion advice, and it inspired my look for today!

Daisy (daisy.bridger): (Saved Mon Apr 08 03:12:48 2013)Ihope you dont mind but i have a small fashion question for you you have a great style so thought i would ask here goes what colour top would be best with mint green skinny jeans as im not sure thank you hugs (copy/pasted w/ permission)

I went digging through my ever growing and over flowing inventory trying to find a pair of mint green skinny jeans, and for some reason I didn’t have any! :O  No worries… I let my fingers do the walking and headed to the Marketplace where Madhouse hooked me up!  I found a pair of mesh Minty Mine Jeans priced at just 99L.

I personally love a crisp white with mint green and remembered that C’est La Vie had just placed out a lucky board prize with their newly released Pocket Tanks in Thermal White.  I headed down there and was lucky enough for letter L to come up after 20 minutes or so.  You will need to join the group, however it’s free.

Duh! is where you will find these White Canvas Slip-Ons.  You can purchase them for 25L or win them in the lucky chair if you are patient enough!  I grabbed my Twinkie Bag that I have been hanging onto since my trip to Beginner’s Luck (where I picked it up for free) and headed off for a nice stroll on this fine spring day

Thanks for the inspiration Daisy!

Window Shopping

I was out and about today doing a little window shopping, because today is the first of the month when so many of the fashion galleries and showcases and new group gifts are set out!  I stopped in at The Designer’s Showcase and found that they have a whole new round of designs on sale to snag, and three brand new group gifts to pick up.  One of them is the mesh LIV Glam K-Collection Penny Sweater Dress I am wearing.  The Designers Showcase inworld group is free to join.

The skin I am in today is a Structure Your Skin Project find made by Mirror’s Enigma.  The gorgeous Victoria skin is available in a peach skintone with two makeup variations, cleavage option, a pair of eyes, Lola & Lush Appliers and a shape (eyes, appliers and shape not shown today) for just 99L!  It will be available all month until the next round in May.

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.

Seeing Green On St. Patrick’s Day

Just when I said I wasn’t going to wear green today, I’m wearing green today… but only because I needed to show this sweet deal before it was gone!  I hope this doesn’t interfere with any pinches I would have been given for not wearing green on St. Patrick’s Day!

Fashion For Life, which is an event held to help raise funds for Relay For Life ends today, Sunday March 17th, so if you haven’t had a chance to go check it out, today is the day!  Make sure you stop at the Masoom shop and pick up this romantic mesh Liza Dress in Lime which you can find for 1L!

The skin I am in today is Mirror Enigma’s Medow which is currently being featured at The Skin Fair in several skintones.

*pinches* & Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

Smiling In The Mirror

I can’t wait for summer days with short shorts and breezy blouses.  It has been a long RL winter, but it doesn’t have to be in SL.  In fact… it’s whatever season you want it to be here, so summer it is for me today!

The mesh floral blouse, called Meadow Spring Top, available in both brown and green is the March group gift at Mirror’s Enigma.  In order to join the inworld group, you must make a purchase within the store and then you are sent an auto invite.  Of course you will need the perfect denim shorts to go with this great top, so head on over to Acid Lily and pick up the CaKe Denim Floral Shorts that they have featured this week for just 70L.

Sweet Leonard always hooks me up with cute and unique accessories, and today was no exception!  The inworld group is 70L to join, and after you are a member you gain access to a wall of gifts such as the Squirrel Coffee and the Cross & Hearts Ring shown in the photo.

The Sunberry Travel Bag I am toting around is stuffed with important essentials like a magazine and some cash.  This can be found on marketplace for free in both beige and grey.
