Free as a Dove

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.

Sexy and I Know It Hunt

Happy midweek lovelies! Today I am featuring some hot items from the Sexy and I Know It Hunt. It is a totally free hunt that lasts through June 2nd, 2013.

This outfit is number 3 in the SKI Hunt from Hot Stuff. Tara Wild Edition is the name and it comes with the bodysuit, boots, and Lola Tangos applier.

It includes Lush Breasts and BBusty Magnus appliers as well.

This cute little outfit is Sexy Girl, number 8 from Neus Magic Designs (NMD). Sexy Girl comes with the mesh shorts and mesh shirt plus the popsicle that matches the shirt.

I took a trip to the Ebisu Harbor Boardwalk to capture these shots. This is a really fun place to explore and made me feel like I was visiting my buddy, Forrest Gump.

The shoes are intricately made by Opopop Design: number 4 in the SKI Hunt. I am so astonished by the detail of the textures and fabrics and seams of these shoes! Plus I love the colors. Definitely some of the best sneakers I have seen in SL.

A Trip To Couture Boulevard

I got a hot tip from FabFree Reader ZZ yesterday that there is a HUGE lot of absolutely free gifts from some of our favourite designers at Couture Boulevard!  I didn’t count them, but I would estimate that there are about 30 gifts available – and no need to join a group.  There you will find all kinds of gifts such as hair, clothing, accessories, footwear and so much more!  There was even a couple of things for men.

In the photo above I am wearing the Agnes Finney Spring Dress with the Lindy Appleigh Nude Pumps, which were both gifts from this event.  Below you will see a quick snapshot of the available gifts

Thanks ZZ, for that fabulous news!

ps.  Kyle – did you notice the cat?

Sweet Petite Serena

When I saw the name of this gift, I knew I had to blog it. I mean, I don’t meet people named Serena very often, but to find a cute, petite outfit by that name is rare indeed!

Anyway, Joelle Bartfield of Sweet Petites is celebrating her 5th Rez Day and is giving us a gift: these Serena Strapless Tops and Knee Shorts in three jewel-toned colors. You’ll find the gift inside the store under the stairs – no group-join is needed. Happy Rez Day, Joelle – and thank you!

My shoes were not free, but were a fabulous deal: 22 different colors for 50L. So that’s… [grabs calculator]… roughly 2.27L per pair! With all the color choices, I think they’ll be a terrific petite wardrobe addition for spring and summer. And you know how hard it is to find petite shoes! Grab these Pooka’s Flip Flops on the Marketplace.
