Strive is a “new to me” designer and I’m thrilled to have discovered them. The Group is FREE to join and when you do you can pick up this lovely summer tank and scarf combo. There are also several other equally lovely gifts available in the main store.
Hello Fabulous Readers! First I must apologize for the MIA thing I have been doing. You know what they say… When it rains it pours, and it’s coming down in RL buckets right now! I did manage to put together a quick post of affordables for you today and I hope that you find something you like!
I tried my luck on the Sweet Lies gacha machine at The Fantasy Collective, and it must have been a good and lucky day because I walked away with everything I needed in just a few pulls! I am wearing the Dune Dress (#6) along with the Dune Slink Add-on Sandals and The Dune Bag. This machine is 50L per play.
The decorative items in the background are by Apt B and are available as part of the Rustic Now Set. (59L per play – instore gacha).
Hiya FabFree-ers, here we are back again at the Tuesday Feature blog and, oh my my, have I found a lovely little number this week! The Palomino Jumpsuit is a new offering from SEVILLE and has a gorgeously casual, but elegant style. This jumpsuit goes from a quiet evening at home to uptown art haus with no effort at all, just add a smile. I love the deep rich tones of red!
(Be sure to snag the FREEgift bag on the table while you’re at the store, nice goodies inside, yayyy.) Till next Tuesday, have a great week!
And so, we’re back to Monday, my FabFree Dears. I hope y’all had a good weekend and are starting this week with a smile.
I’m smiling because I’m starting a bunch of new Hunts. One Hunt full of really cute prizes is the Living Like Japan Hunt. This ruffled crop top is the ‘Sweet McFlury’ from Holli Pocket. As soon as I saw it I remembered long summer evenings at the fair or some little street carnival. It’s casual but still pretty and flirty. Then I found the sporty pink sneakers for system feet from Selfie and I knew I had an outfit.
Well, most of an outfit. Then Just Because put out their latest group gift. It was like they were reading my mind! This is the ‘Denim Lace Skirt’ in pink and this completes my outfit perfectly. Just Because has loaded this group gift with everything you could need. There are the standard mesh sizes L-XXS, plus versions for SLink Body, Belleza ( V 0.02 and V3) and Maitreya! Plus the HUD included let’s you change the lace to one of seventeen different colors. All that and the Just Because group is free to join!

I was talking with a friend the other day about one of our favorite topics (freebies, of course), and I mentioned how Paradisis was one of my favorite places for free goodies and great deals. I was surprised she didn’t know about this little gem. Over at the main store there is a corner full of sweet little bags containing over 30 cute and sexy free outfits. Everything from jeans to lingerie, including this long tee and great ripped jeans. A few of the items even include Lola Appliers.
If you read my last post, I mentioned that I was going to head back to the Valyria sim to hunt again and pick up more prizes. This lovely skin is one of the offerings from 7 Deadly Skins for the hunt. I love the lovely sun kissed tone and the peppy pink lips! If you haven’t snagged any gifts yet from this great little hunt, this is your last chance! It only lasts until the end of the month.
Continuing on my theme of favorite freebies that not everyone knows about are these cute silver bangles from Real Evil Industries. In fact, this creator has a whole pile of gorgeously made jewelry set out for free and free to group (free to join).
If you haven’t guessed by now, I’m a huge Game of Thrones fan. I was in love with the books from the day the first one hit the shelves waaayyy back when. SO when I saw that Seraphim was hosting a GoT inspired event… I was really really excited. The Conquest Event did not disappoint!
There are a ton of designer who clearly love Games of Thrones as much as I do. First up, this is the Melisandre set from Sweet Lies. For 50L per play you can celebrate our favorite Red Woman, priestess of the lord of light and all around burn ’em all gal. There are five common dresses, all in shades of conflagration red and three rares: The golden chain belt, the handful of fire both of which I’m showing plus a ruby necklace.
Now I know that Melisandre didn’t work for the Targaryens but when I found this gorgeous necklace in Lost Junction’s gacha for just 50L per play and I knew I was going to go “off book” for this post. There are nine necklaces, one for each of the great Houses, with no rares. With my necklace in place, I went looking for something for my hair and I found the ‘Kyla’ gcaha from Distorted Dreams. There are eight jeweled commons, four in gold and four in silver. The rares are these tiaras with the jewels and the roses. Technically there are four rares: black roses with gold metal, black roses with silver metal, red roses with gold and red roses with silver. However you get both the gold and silver versions of the roses when you pull a rare.
Your taxi to The Conquest Event which runs until July 10!

I first fell in love with everything “Gothic” when I was eight years old. My babysitter was a teenage girl of about fifteen and my parents had gone out for “kid free” time, and she was doing her homework and reading Edgar Allen Poe’s “The Raven” to me. After that I was hooked.
And then she let me read over her shoulder, and I read, “For Annie” for the very first time as well. Perhaps “For Annie” is not about Vampires at all… but I thought it was! And even at the tender age of eight, I wanted to be a vampire!
“Thank Heaven! the crisis —
The danger is past,
And the lingering illness
Is over at last —
And the fever called “Living”
Is conquered at last.”
[from “For Annie” by Edgar Allen Poe]
I think that is why the ensemble that I put together this week really appeals to me! [MC] Mystic Canvass is — first, and foremost — a fabulous one-stop-shop if you are looking for quality Roleplay skins that won’t break your pocketbook. Many of them are priced at only 99L$ for a full pack, and that includes a bonus shape as well as Lolas and/or other great appliers. The store also has a terrific variety of affordable cosmetics and mesh accessories that are out-of-this-world unique. And with this gorgeous Skin as their current FREEGroup Gift(Group is 0L to Join!) coming in 4 skin tones with Lolas, Phat Azz, and Slink Appliers? How can a classic Gothic Vampire girl like me go wrong?!
Of course, I did not want to be a glittery vampire! No! No Twilight sparklers here! Growing up, I wanted to know Dracula and Dark Shadows and vampires like Louis de Pointe du Lac. I wanted pale skin, red lips, crimson eyes, blood that ran cold, and a heart that was colder! Because somehow… I thought it was like being a thorned rose — the ultimate thing of danger… power… and beauty. And yes… even as a tender young girl of only eight years old, I knew it.
“My tantalized spirit
Here blandly reposes,
Forgetting, or never
Regretting its roses —
Its old agitations
Of myrtles and roses:”
[from “For Annie” by Edgar Allen Poe]
So I pulled up Market place for a little help in completing my classic Vampire look — one I was sure would make Bram Stoker himself proud!
I didn’t manage to find a proper Edgar Allen Poe raven that suited me, but this amazing fitmesh dress by +Nocturna+ features a detailed owl print that is a stand-out and the dress pack includes both fitmesh as well as standard mesh sizes and can be found on the Marketplace for only 10L. A little more searching and I was able to complete my Gothic beauty with a set of Mage Red eyes by Imperium which were also found on the Marketplace (a steal of a deal for eyes this sharply detailed at only 9L$!) and last but not least I topped it off with an intricately wrought necklace in black by ~Edenia — another great FREEfind on the Marketplace!
