Happy Holidays, Fabulouses! After a day of shopping at the Cart Wash sale, Ripley and I celebrated the arrival of winter with a sleigh ride at Pandora Resort. The snowy landscape reminded me of the white Christmases I enjoyed when I was growing up. Ripley had a blast trying to retrieve snowballs that I tossed his way….and he kept losing them in the snowbank!
My golden-hued sweater from Classy Chics was one of my Cart Wash discoveries. If you haven’t checked it out yet, it’s a great place to pick up some budget-friendly goodies for yourself. The sale runs until January 4th, so you still have time to scoop up some finds… all for only 10L each! Featuring a bright, argyle pattern in a short, cropped jacket style, this long-sleeved knitted top coordinates with the undershirt beautifully. The texture on the white top, and its cute bow are simply adorable! If gold is not your color, the set also includes more seasonal red and green options. The tops are all Maitreya appliers, and worked beautifully with my Maitreya Lara mesh body. These white capris, also a Maitreya applier, are part of the Classy Chic package from the Cart Wash. For only 10L, you get a complete outfit! Happy dance time!
‘Tis the season for silver and gold, and Luminesse has you covered with these exquisite angel Christabelle Yvelle earrings for only 10L at the Cart Wash sale. With ruby centers, golden accents, crystal gems, and silvery wings, these delicate baubles reflect the spirit of the season. I just love a pair of dangling earrings, don’t you?
Ripley and I are off to finish baking cookies to set out for Santa tonight. After the “Cookie Incident,” in which a certain canine, who shall remain nameless, decided to sample from the Big Guy’s platter, we have some catching up to do. I hope you enjoy a relaxing evening, and would like to wish Happy Holidays to those of you who celebrate. Until next time, dear readers, happy shopping!

Wishing you a happy holiday.
With all the festive blog posts everyone else was doing, I had to do one of my own… so I put together this snowbound look that can be yours for a total of just 1L. You’ll only need to make two stops to get it all put together.
The dress.
I picked up this dress from Karla Boutique. It includes the miniskirt, the poncho, and the resizable hat. Just go inside the store and buy the gift for 1L and it is yours!
Sizes included.
For the Skirt:
For the Poncho: Standard mesh sizes XS – L
A girl always needs shoes.
I picked up these beautiful boots (which I think match my outfit perfectly) from MOoh! at the current round of the Designer’s Circle. This round lasts until January 7th, so you have some time, but who would want to wait when these shoes are Free? Just pay 0L for the box and these beautiful boots are yours!
They are mesh and don’t require any special feet. I found that when I removed my mesh feet they were a perfect fit and looked really nice.

Hello FabFree Readers! As much as I love red.. and even green on occasion, I am getting a little tired of wearing red and green, and green and red! I was really happy to find a couple of free gifts that were still holiday themed, but in different colours. Today… I’m in black, gold and red!
These very well made winter boots by Fri.day are red, black white and gold and are free (priced at 0L) under the giant Christmas Tree at The Arcade. They are compatible with my Maitreya Lara body (I’m sure they’ll work with whatever you are wearing!), and include an alpha layer for those on the system body too.
I picked up these awesome Nutcracker Pants by Sn@tch for free in the Kittycats Advent Calendar. These are compatible with system bodies and include an OMEGA applier. A texture change HUD is included for several different colours, but I went with coal, because it showed the gold nutcracker design down the sides of the legs best. As Kathryn mentioned in a previous post… if you are trying to stuff your pants into a pair of boots, appliers are really the way to go!
If you like my sweatshirt, you should head on over to Tres Blah and slap on your “Her Blahness” tag above your head to pick up the Olsen Winter Sweatshirt as a free group gift in five different fun prints! Arrows are my jam, but as you can see from the Tres Blah vendor ad to the left, the other prints are super cute too!
Maitreya Lara
Belleza Freya & Isis
Slink Hourglass & Physique
This group will set you back 100L, but there are several other group gifts to pick up like these [HERE] and [HERE], making it well worth the join fee!
