Sprinter -.-

Hi there Fabulouses!  While winter and spring duke it out in my part of the RL world today with snow falling, and green things wanting to grow, I thought I’d just go back inside while they sort it out and tell you about a few things I found this week :).

My cozy sprinter (spring + winter) outfit was put together with three group gifts that I picked up here and there across the grid.  Hopefully you’ll find something you like within my look and go pick it up for yourself.

It’s As Easy As 1, 2, 3 And FREE!

1. SWEATER: My Oversize Knit Sweater is super cute with my hands tucked into it, and is available in a Maitreya Mesh Body size (will probably work with others too using the alpha hud that comes with your mesh body) as a free group gift at Scandalize.  This group is free to join and there are a ton of other gifts to pick up in the VIP area upstairs.
2. JEANS:  I picked these dark washed, extra torn Applier Jeans up as a free group gift at Pacagaia Creations as a free Third Life Group Gift.  This group is 10L to join, but well worth it!  These appliers will work with tons of different mesh body types (sorry, no system layers).
3. BOOTS:  Belle Epoque is where you will find the adorable laced Liesel Boots you see me wearing in today’s post as a free group gift to celebrate 1500 inworld group members!  This group is currently free to join as well.  I have seen it with a fee before, so don’t quote me that it will stay that way.

Enjoy the rest of your day!!

G L O R I A

Hello There Fab Free’rs! I hope your weekend was a fun one. I had a fantastic weekend, and now I’m happy to be here where I get to share my latest freebie find with you. The credit for this find should really go to Love however. She spotted the outfit at Sn@tch during one of her recent shopping excursions and told me about it. She knows me so well! I do love retro pinup styles, especially when they are a little sassy like this one.

Why be a Betty When You Can be a Veronica? 

Okay so really I think Betty was just as awesome as Veronica, and Archie was lucky either of them paid him any attention! This outfit just screamed Veronica to me, even though it’s name is Gloria. Before I go off on a tangent about the dynamics of the Betty, Veronica, Archie love triangle and confuse everyone further, I’ll just get to the details. The fully mesh Gloria outfit is absolutely FREE at Sn@tch. There’s no need to join a group or wear a tag, just head over to  Sn@tch and check out the FREEbie area Love mentioned in her recent post “A Whole New Sn@tch“. In the box you’ll get the capri pants, the cardigan, and a cardigan/tank top combo in 5 standard mesh sizes, and of course the matching alpha layers. Additionally the cardigan/tank combo comes with the tank top in black or red. Sn@tch your FREE outfit, and tons of other fantastic freebies and inexpensive items at the new Sn@tch main store.

Here are the details, Enjoy!

Hair – *Besom~ Debrossi *Essentials*

Join Me at the Pub

Join me at the pub.

I’m not Irish, but join me at the pub anyway. And before you come, be sure to stop by Roped Passions and hunt around for the twisty cube as part of the Twisted Hunt. Now… this is one of the most difficult hunts on the grid, but it’s always worth it and the gifts are free. At Roped Passions there is a main gift for women and a main gift for men and a couple of side gifts as well to make it worth your while.

I’m showing off the Inara Suspender outfit that is the free gift from the Roped Passions main-store as their main gift contribution for the ladies to the Twisted Hunt. You’ll get both the outfit and the shoes. The shoes fit Maitreya or Slink feet.

Outfit Sizes:

• Regular mesh sizes XS – XL
• Maitreya – Lara
• Slink – Physique & Hourglass
• Belleza – Freya, Isis, & Venus

 

Finishing touches.

To go with my green suspenders, I stopped by the Oceane main-store and picked up their group gift. They have out a beautiful lipstick gift right now that you won’t want to pass up. The group is currently free to join and so the gift is free to pick up. You’ll get 6 colors in system layers as well as an Omega applier and it worked beautifully with my Catwa head.

Don’t miss out!

I also stopped by Adoness where I was able to get some free hair. The freebies are just busting at the seams today! This cute cropped style comes in three colors and all you need to do is wear your FabFree group tag (the group is free to join as always) and Adoness is giving away this cute hairstyle to FabFree members for free as a perk! Pick it up to finish off your look! It comes in carrot, rosy (shown), and sunny.

Morning run

Back to basics

I’ve been stuck on dresses and skirts lately and while there’s certainly nothing wrong with indulging your more feminine side, it’s time to do away with frills and fringes for something more sporty. Early morning jogs are perfect for chasing away the blues of being stranded on a deserted island and speaking of perfection the Neva outfit from Tentation was just the thing I needed for this outing. It’s always a good idea to stock up on basics for those days when you just want to slouch around at home or go for a run with your polar bear cub and the Neva outfit with it’s baggy off shoulder sweater and comfortable leggings afford just that. After spending days with pastels the cool gray and off-white color scheme of this outfit were a nice change and I did like the eye-catching asymmetrical pattern on the front of the sweater. The sizes for the Neva outfit are as follows;

Sweater:

• 5 Fitmesh sizes (XS-XL)
• 1 size for the Belleza mesh body
• 1 size for the Maitreya mesh body
• 1 size for the Slink mesh body

Leggings:

• 5 Fitmesh sizes (XS-XL)
• 1 size for the Belleza mesh body
• 1 size for the Maitreya mesh body
• 1 size for the Slink mesh body

There are also separate alpha layers for the sweater and leggings available in the folder should you decide to wear these articles of clothing as separates. Otherwise, there’s also another alpha layer included should you want to wear the entire outfit together for the day. The Neva outfit costs just 10L and can be found with other great low-cost outfits and gifts at the Tentation main store so take a while to poke around and who knows what might catch your fancy.

But let’s not forget about the pink

As in sneakers. If you’ve been following the developments on the Fabulously Free in SL group gift list, you’ll know that Ollie’s Follies have updated their gift to a darling pair of pink camo sneakers. Not only are these a great girly update to the classic camouflage pattern but are classic feet friendly as well. In the gift package, you’ll receive a great alpha layer for your feet and these sneakers come equipped with a resize script making refitting a breeze. Should you happen to kill the scripts before you’re happy with any changes, however, permissions are set to copy so you can simply rez out another pair and start over. The Flowerbed Camo sneakers come free with your FabFree group tag and as always there’s no cost to join the group. While you’re at the store don’t forget to hit that no group needed midnight mania board and keep your fingers crossed for that 100L gift card prize. For a closer look at those sneakers check out the group gift listing page {HERE}.

And that’s a wrap. I really have to go see if Commander hasn’t stuck his nose into one of these houses looking for breakfast. Till later guys!

Vintage Living

Vintage Carson…

The ladies on the blog like to call me vintage, so I’ll bow to their wishes and live a “vintage” life. And an easy way to furnish your Victorian home is follow the hunt path on the Steam XII Hunt. I was able to decorate my living space for FREE by just finding the hunt items. I was also lucky enough to find an outfit (or two) along the way. Find your way to Cutie Larks and the Endymion Outfit can be yours for FREE. Don’t worry ladies, there’s a female gift there for you also! I borrowed the shoes from the Columbiad Engineer Outfit from Sparrow by Design that I showed [HERE] to complete the look.

To the Moon…

But today’s post isn’t about the clothing. I want to show you some of the wonderful and unique items for your house (if you live in the 1890’s) that can be found for FREE on the Steam XII Hunt. The hunt prize at Simply Shelby is the Reclaimed Ash Bookcase – Jules Verne Edition. It’s a beautifully crafted shelving unit with all kinds of Verneian memorabilia mixed in. The Steamer Trunk Coffee Table can be found at Casa de Bebe. The trunk include sit poses and makes a great addition it your next expedition to the unknown. Head down to Wood Works to find the Hurricane Lamp and Table. The Red Velvet Victorian Chaise is the hunt prize from Park Place Home Decor. This chair comes with sits and standing poses and made my morning coffee too! Also included in that gift are Plans for Trip to the Moon. Now if  only had a rocket to get me there. I bet I can find one somewhere on the hunt…
