Attention all builders, creators, and decorators, the Timeless Textures cart is stacked full of creative textures for you to use in your fabulous creations! Each pack of full perm textures is set for sale at just 10 lindens per pack. The above vendor photo is a close-up example of just one of the packs available. I love this one because Halloween is my favorite holiday, and it’s just around the corner. Don’t miss out on a great opportunity to get full sets of textures at a fraction of the usual cost. Also at the Timeless Textures cart you’ll find a FREE Sample Pack of textures, and a FREE gift just for stopping by. Below I’ve included a photo of the full Timeless Textures cart so you can see the wide range of textures available. Enjoy your shopping Fab Free!
It’s mid-week Fab Free, we’re a little more than half way to the weekend! I bet you can guess how I like to celebrate? That’s right, shopping! In the virtual sea of events happening in Second Life right now, I decided to spend a little time at the Swank Event. This event has a fun French theme for September, and each of the vendors has out a FREE gift just for stopping by. Some of the gifts require the Swank group tag, but not to worry, the group is FREE to join. This event is big enough to have a little something for everyone but not so big that it’s overwhelming.
While I picked up several of the gifts, this gorgeous outfit by LaVain & Co. is my favorite. This fully mesh outfit includes the pretty floral tank top with its daring neckline and the matching black pants. Each piece can be worn separately as well as together. I also snagged this cute little clutch by Vanessa. I’ve discovered that my real life purse obsession has started to transfer over into Second Life, and I was glad to add this one to my collection.
Good Afternoon Fab Free! I hope everyone is doing well. Recently a few of our Fab Free Designers have set out some great new FREE gifts at Fabulously Free in SL Headquarters. If you haven’t been to FFHQ recently, it’s a great time to go. There are recent gifts from NSP Florals, 3 Graces Designs, Storax Tree, Rowena Springflower, and Mayfly! Come check it out, and don’t forget to peek at the Gacha Yard Sale while you’re there!
“It was, indeed, a tempestuous yet sternly beautiful night, and one wildly singular in its terror and its beauty.” ~Edgar Allen Poe, The Fall of the House of Usher.
Sometimes… it feels good to be wicked. And with Hku Education Island introducing their art tribute Sim to Edgar Allen Poe’s Fall of the House of Usher… now is the perfect time to ready your wardrobe… so that you too can be wild and singular in your beauty.
“An excited and highly distempered ideality threw a sulphurous luster over all. His long improvised dirges will ring forever in my ears.” ~Edgar Allen Poe, The Fall of the House of Usher.
But the luster of this Grand Opening gift Skin (pictured in a close up above) that Deesses Boutique is using to celebrate their official new main store location will surely lift even the spirits of any haunted that may remain behind after Lady Madeleine’s untimely departure in Poe’s beloved classic.
This beautiful skin called Selda comes in Caffe Crema tone 060 with Slink feet and hand appliers included (all other body appliers can be purchased at the main store location) and is a FREE gift with your Deesses group tag. The Group is 50L to join, but this one skin alone is well worth the join fee.
“There were times indeed when I thought his unceasingly agitated mind was laboring with some oppressive secret.” ~Edgar Allen Poe, The Fall of the House of Usher.
It’s no secret that the Women’s Stuff Hunt is going on and that the gifts are fantastic! And if you stop by *WICKED* this month you can pick up to wicked hot items to add to your wickedly sexy wardrobe. Pictured above is *WICKED*‘s contribution to the Women’s Stuff hunt. Find the little red T-shirt and for just 1L the Ginger Outfit which includes a brown denim mini skirt, tank top, and matching bangle bracelets is yours!
In both these pictures Astrid is sporting a great set of versatile sandals for Slink flat feet that are a steal of a deal you will not want to miss out on. These are 50L per spin gacha prizes you can pick up in store at *OAL* On a Lark. If you play the machine, you’ll find that there are 4 common colors without beads and 4 common colors with beads and color change Huds for the beads, as well as 2 rares with beads and color change Huds for the shoes/beads.
“These appearances, which bewilder you, are merely electrical phenomena not uncommon…” ~Edgar Allen Poe, The Fall of the House of Usher.
The great thing about *WICKED* — and about the Hku Education Island Sim’s rendition of the Fall of the House of Usher — is that neither are redundant. The sim includes areas with glowing flowers, lights, and reflective rain… and while the hunt gift from *WICKED* and the House of Usher both have that edgy sulfuric feeling of terror that is common in early Gothic literature, *WICKED*‘s September group gift is a whimsical and lovely dress called Claire in Fuchsia and comes with Hud for color change options for the belt to increase its versatility. You have 6 color choices on the belt for the the belt itself as well as 6 choices for the belt studs!
The Claire dress is yours FREEwith your group tag and the group is FREEto join! You first saw this dress blogged HERE by Julianna Seriman when the dress was a hunt gift in the color “ocean.” So if you missed out then, now is your chance to own it in Fuchsia!

Alright Fabbies. I have loads to show you in this post, from hunt stuff, store sale stuff, group gift stuff , to cart sale stuff, so I am not going to chat it up too much, I’m just going to get right to it!!
Lets start with my fun and flirty dress. The Fanny Sequin Dress is from CroM, a new to me store, and it is the gift for the WomenStuff hunt that is currently happening right now. This lovely dress is mesh, in the standard sizes, and comes with a hud that will let you change the colour of the solid parts of the dress from the black I have on, to red. This hunt prize is free, although if you continue on in the hunt, be aware that some gifts are set to L$1. The hint for CroM is ‘I love new releases’. It’s pretty easy 🙂 You have until September 30th to go find the little red t-shirt hunt object.
Next up are my gorgeous shoes. Essenz has put out a new, free group gift, and that is my Bologna heels in Olive Gray. These are for SLink high feet, as well, there is a pair for Maitreya feet too. The group is L$350 to join, but the gifts are given quite often, and you receive a 15% store credit when you wear your tag while shopping there, so I think it is a justifiable fee for sure.
Now, I did mention more Wash Cart Sale stuff didn’t I. This time, I’m showing off the sweet Danielle skin, in Tone 4 from The Skin You’re In, Direct TP. For L$10 a tone, either the cleavage version, or the non-cleavage version, you get your skin, with a bunch of different tattoo options. My favourite, is the fact the skin is eyebrow-less, and I’m sure you all know by now, my love of a certain pair of eyebrows that I wear constantly. However, the eyebrows that come with the skin are pretty, and come in several shades to match any haircolour. The other options are freckles, dimples, and the teeth I am showing off in the close-up where I have makeup on. The lower picture without makeup, which is a nice fresh face, is what my skin looks like as is, with the freckle layer. Perfect for adding makeup layers to! I’ll add a shot of the cart at the end of this post so you can see all the tones available. You only have until the 16th to grab this deal, so do not wait!
As I said, the bare face of my skin is perfect for all these makeup layers you can buy now. So how did I decide what to wear? Well, while I was wandering around The Wash sim, looking at the carts, I wandered by the La Boheme store, and saw that they are having an end of the summer sale, 50% off everything except already discounted items. Of course, I had to partake in the deals! All lipstick and eyeshadow packs are only L$35 each, and all nail appliers are L$25 each. I picked out the Matte Plum lips, the Feline Instinct eyes, and as highlighted in the picture below, the Abalone nails.This sale runs until September 15th, so make sure you go fast, you don’t want to miss out. Oh, and as an added bonus, there is a 2 pack set of nail appliers for SLink, set out as a free gift!
Phew! See, told you I had loads of great things to show off, and it all came together in a cute, slightly flirty-sexy, yet still classy look. Love when it all pulls together so easily! I think I took more time trying to decide how to wear my hair than anything else 😛 . OK, that’s it for me for now, so I am outta here, but you know I’ll be back. So, until then, TTFN!
