A guest blog by Gloria Silverstone, originally blogged [HERE]
There is noting better than free, especially free furniture. This time of the year can be tricky to decorate, it’s not quite autumn and summer is drawing to a close. I designed a living space using loads of free items in deep navy and rich rust tones with hits of industrial steampunk, creating an eclectic vibe. Hope it’s inspired you to mix and match old and new items to create a fresh look in your SL home.

Hiya Fabulouses! The Fabfree Team and I have been very busy getting ready for The FabFree 7th Birthday Hunt which begins soon on the 6th and I need to apologize that I have not had time to actually “blog”, but I have put together a little quickie post for you tonight and I hope you like the items enough to run out and grab them!
The Denim Romper I am wearing is the latest free group gift at AtiK. It comes with the owl denim romper shown (mesh w/ alpha) as well as the matching panties and pasties too. The AtiK inworld group is free to join and there are other gifts to snag too.
These super cute Rainy Days Boots are made by Pure Poison and can be found at the new round of The Arcade Gacha at 50L per play. I am displaying the Lolita Animal print boots, but as you can see from the vendor photo below, there are several different uber cute variations to score!
This adorable puddle jumping look would not be complete without a sweet umbrella! The TBF Mesh Umbrella is retractable with a click (for when the rain stops of course!) and is available in the TBF marketplace store for 10L.
Sweet dreams to you all 😉

First, I want to start by saying I’m sooo sorry this is being posted so late. I know there are just a few precious hours left for the $25 Linden Tuesday items! Eeep! I honestly meant to get up early and get this posted this morning, but real life got in the way, as it often does! So again, my apologies.
Apologies out of the way, I had to show this week’s $25 Linden Tuesday items from May’s Soul. I love this rustic looking headpiece! To me it somehow seems both archaic and regal, not to mention the fact that I sincerely enjoy the hint toward Norse Mythology. In addition to the headpiece, May’s Soul also has out a full outfit that lends it’s self beautifully to a Nordic look. It comes not only with the mesh dress and shawl shown, but a slew of other components that I chose not to show. I really liked the silhouette of the dress, so I kept the outfit simple. To give my little Valkyrie a slightly modern look, I picked up the exclusive items by {ZOZ} at the Rock Your Rack event, and a stunning pale freckled skin from Pixy Stix. I thought the dramatic eye-makeup and the soft pink lips were just perfect. The skin from Pixy Stix is called “Oona” and it is their $10 Linden Rock Your Rack Hunt gift. I hope you like this look as much as I do!
American Bazaar are continuing their 4th birthday celebrations and more great free items have appeared on the gift tables outside the store from some very generous designers who are helping with the festivities! I have already shown some of the gifts in this post here so be sure to check that out too!
There are lots of gifts that come with applier HUDS so if you wear breast enhancements then you will find some great additions to your wardrobe! Of course if you don’t wear them then all the items are workable for you too! The Dat Titteh top by Hollipocket is one of those that looks just as cute on mesh enhancements as without though it comes with applier support for Lola Tango and Lush. I kind of like the contrast of the bright blue with my Ariel Red hair! My shoes are the Singapore Cream shoes for SLink High Feet by Essenz. These are amazing shoes to have in your collection as they will go with pretty much anything so be sure to pick these up!
The Lace Corset by Biddy is another great top that comes with applier support for Lola’s, Phat Azz and Banned. I think it goes really well with the Fitted Mesh Skinny Pants that are by American Bazaar. The pants arent part of the celebration gifts but I bought them so I could show the tops to you. They are very reasonably priced and are definately going to be ones I wear very often!
I am a sucker for a cute pastel dress and I just adore the Azura Dress (Coral) by LadyLuck! The Dulce Beret by Ariskea is the perfect little addition to wear with the dress and looks so adorable!
My hair and skin in this picture are two great items available at the new round of The Arcade Gacha! The Skye II SKin by Glam Affair is so pretty with such expressive eyes. The tintable eyebrows that I am wearing are also included! I am completely in love with the gorgeous Ocean hair by Olive! Their gacha contains some amazing colourways with the option of winning them in this Ocean style or another style called Belle.. hmmm.. I wonder who that could be modelled after?
My nails are the gorgeous Princess Glitter Nails by Free Bird and are their prize in the Enhance My Avatar Hunt. The prize costs L$5 to purchase! Pink glittery nails make Tiana very happy!
** Last day to submit photos – September 30th, 2014 **
