Happy Fri-Yay Fab Free! I’m glad you’re here because this week the Designer Friday post is all about HelaMiyo. Generally HelaMiyo is probably best known for their static poses. The shop also has hand fans complete with poses, couples poses, eyes, and hairstyles. Yes, you read that right hair. The HelaMiyo hairstyles are very stylized, much like a lot of their static poses. Most notably there are period hairstyles, which are great for costumes, role-play, and photographs. Speaking of photographs, at the landing point for HelaMiyo, you’ll find a room with a public photo studio that is FREE for everyone to utilize.
In the room with the public photo studio you’ll find several FREE or dollarbie poses for purchase. There is also a pose stand with poses that are also available as gifts in the center of the HelaMiyo store. This photo studio room at HelaMiyo is also where you’ll find the group gifts, and store info. The HelaMiyo group is FREE to join. Additionally, there are two gifts for other groups, one of which is the Fabulously Free in SL exclusive group gift. Carson showed this gift in his post “Whatever.” If you’re not already a member of the Fabulously Free in SL group, you should be! The Fab Free group is always FREE to join.
As you browse the HelaMiyo store, you’ll wanna check out the table in the room with the hairstyles. There are a few dollarbies to be had. Another spot to be sure and stop by is the sunken lounge area. This is where you’ll find a few HelaMiyo group Lucky Letter boards. Don’t miss these awesome freebies! Enjoy your weekend Fab Free.
This last week has been a tough one in real life for me but today I took some time to do some meditating and looked for silver linings in the dark clouds that I felt certain were hanging over my head. I think it helps to actively look for good things when days get rough. This silver lined dress from Alter reminded me of my “silver lining thinking” today and is their free POE hunt gift. But you don’t just get the dress…
Accessories included:
Silver shoes (made to fit Slink, Maitreya, or Belleza feet)
A bracelet
And two rings to fit bento hands in the gift box as well!
The dress comes in all the popular body sizes sure to fit your needs:
Maitreya – Lara
Slink – Hourglass & Physique
Belleza – Freya, Isis, & Venus
Wearing ink lately…
I’ve worn tattoos in two other posts {here} and {here} and when I saw this gorgeous Broken Heart tattoo from Identity as part of the Women Only Hunt (yes my hunting buddy pointed it out) I couldn’t help myself… and who can pass up free? Now I have three free tattoos for this month tucked away in my inventory! This one comes in fresh or faded (faded shown) and you get system layers, appliers for TMP, Omega, Belleza, Wowmeh, and Maitreya.
Sway a little!
If you’re digging my updo you need to hurry, as it may be gone by midnight tonight (Friday). It’s a Fifty Linden Friday special at Exile. You can get it in either naturals with a hud of natural colors, or a set of pastels, your choice for only 50L each. I picked the naturals hud as it had my usual choice of silver (there’s also a pretty blonde, brown, and red course!). This updo includes both a regular rigged and a bento rigged in the box so you can see your hair sway in the wind!
Last but not least…
I don’t have a super duper close up of my necklace but if you click the lower picture and zoom in on flickr you can see the beautiful free Snowgirl Necklace by Slipper Originals. It is their free Women Only Hunt gift. It has a little snowman and a snowflake charm on a metal cord and it comes with a texture change hud with ten metal choices. That’s a lot of versatility! Plus I love the dainty little charms that make it so pretty 🙂

I’ve found my fair share of holiday-themed garb this season, but quite frankly nothing is is as striking as the combination of icy blue and red. The good people down at Sn@tch seemed to be onto this as well, and put together this different and rather attractive take on the Christmas theme.
Ice Fishing
This fantastic outfit actually comes with 23 pieces. Skirts, tops, shoes, stockings, a gorgeous corset, makeup, hair and even some elf ears. You can totally make this outfit your own by mixing and matching til the reindeer come home! I’ve said it before, but I really love a complete outfit!
All you need for this fabulous outfit, is a 7 Seas fishing rod (which you can buy right near the pond outside Sn@tch) that will cost you 100L, no bait required. Pay once, and play for fishing outfits in the future!
Oh what fun!

TGIF, fabulous readers! A few days ago, I paid a visit to On9 and found BUNCHES of gifts set out from the vendors for this round. I’m sharing some of my favorites with you here today.
NOTE: To pick up these gifts, you will need to head over to On9 and join the freein-world group.
Take Back Your Mink
Just kidding, don’t you dare!
When I put on this gorgeous satin dress with the mink jacket, I felt sort of Paris Hilton-y, so that’s where the name for this post came from. 😉
The Marlena dress and jacket is the On9 gift from AnaMarkova. It comes in the following sizes:
Belleza
Maitreya
Slink
TMP
The dress and jacket are separate pieces, so you could wear the dress without the jacket, or wear the jacket with another outfit if you choose. I like versatility. 🙂
Dressed to Impress… With FREE Gifts
The fashionable AnaMarkova dress isn’t the only On9 gift I’m wearing today. Here are a few more!
ICONIC’s gift is a generous pack of hair. Katherine includes 6 color packs, as well as a styler HUD so you can choose from 2 different styles.
HAYSURIZA is gifting a huge set of pearl jewelry. The set includes:
Necklace* (includes optional add-on decoration)
Bracelet (optional add-on decoration)
Earrings for day wear*
Earrings for evening wear
Choker
Ring* (2 options)
* The asterisked items are the ones I’m wearing in this photo.
So Sparkly
The final On9 gift I’m sharing today is this glittery nail palette from Alaskametro<3.
Mani/pedi appliers for Maitreya, Slink, and Omega-enabled hands are included. You can apply all the same color or a mix of all five if you prefer. The Maitreya HUD has a button to apply a mix of all the colors.
A girl really can’t have too much glitter, can she? ❤

Sascha’s Designs, who is well known for their beautiful women’s formal wear designs has placed out this stunning crimson and gold gown as a free group gift for December 2017. The Sascha’s Designs inworld group is 100L to join, however there is a TP you can take just under the vendor for this dress that will take you to an entire room filled with years and years worth of previous gifts that you can take advantage of.
The Perfect Blend
The December 2017 gown is a perfect blend of mesh, applier and flexi prims that make for the perfect ballroom gown as it allows your dress to move with you and even twirl a little. Whether you are on the system body or a mesh body, Sascha has you covered with system layers, Maitreya appliers and Omega appliers.
There have been a few times in my life where I have been outside on a still night and the snow is gently falling. There is a feeling of such peace that sweeps over me that it stops me in my tracks and I have to capture the moment in my mind. I hope I have a few more of those moments in my lifetime…
Winter wear for the quiet moments….
I happened upon the Aron Jacket & Shirt, a FREESLF&O Group Gift at Mirus. The jacket is a fitted rigged design to fit your body, no mater what the style. The SLF&O Group is FREE to join. I also grabbed the FREEBeanie group gift at Kalback when I picked up my Christmas sweater I showed [HERE]. May each snowflake that falls bring you a moment of peace…
