Fab Free Designer Friday 2.0 – BYRNE

What do you get when you combine equal parts Fashion, Art, and Imagination? BYRNE. For this edition of Fab Free Designer Friday 2.0 I am so excited to share with you one of the most unique and creative clothing boutiques on the grid, BYRNE. This shop is not only a clothing boutique with high fashion mens and womens clothing, but an art installation all in one. It is definitely a shopping experience you need to try for yourself, a photo could never do it justice. All the textures for the clothing at BYRNE are the artwork of the designer herself. This makes every item unlike anything else you’ll find in Second Life. At BYRNE you’ll find male, female, and unisex mesh and applier clothing, as well as makeup, and accessories. If you’ve never been before, I definitely suggest you check it out!

The Jungle

Welcome to the Jungle

Yup, now you got that stuck in your head ^^

I have a cool lil story about that song, there was a radio station that was changing their format in ’03 (god I feel old) in Las Vegas, NV and during the time they played “Welcome to the Jungle” on non-stop repeat. At any point in the day during my 4-month stay, that song was on, my friend and I would jam to it like we just escaped from the rubber room.
Now every time I think or hear of this song it brings me right back to the Las Vegas Strip jamming to this song on high volume. To go back to my early 20’s again, I wouldn’t do a thing differently because I lead me right here with you.

Slip it on

Let’s talk about these cute free Beach Slippers from Breathe, they have an adorable x.x faced bear that is attached. The free gift comes with a color hud of 18 options to choose from, this will help match your swimsuit easier.

Neon Dreams and Sticker Fantasies

I’m 100% feeling the 90’s vibes today.  I’m talking early 90’s, where we were still lingering in the hangover from 80’s neon, covered in wiggly shapes and hoarding bright stickers as though they were pure gold.  I mean, to be fair I still hoard stickers, but let’s not let that get in the way of a good mood-setting, right?  Where was I?  Oh yes!  I was pondering the importance of Lisa Frank, scribbles in a journal and whether wearing a giant sunflower on a hat would make a good fashion statement (the answer is of course…yes!).

High Pony

The classic high pony is back, apparently (I don’t have the facts to back that up…but…anyway), and you can get your very own version for free over at Fabrixquare!  No group join required, just pay 0L and this hairstyle is all yours.  It is, as with most of Fabrixquare’s offerings, flexi hair and moves as you move.  I always think it’s a cool throwback and it’s nice to see your hair floating in the wind now and then!  There are several hairbases included as well as a version with a white scrunchie.

I’ve Got my Eyes On Ya

Imbue came out with two new group gifts recently, one is totally following my 90’s theme as it’s a bright neon choker that comes in two colours.  The other, is this eye-covered tapestry I’m posing in front of.  You guys know me, I love anything that has eyes on it!  It’s totally my jam.  There are two tapestries to pick up (as well as all the other group gifts too!).  The Imbue group is currently 50L to join!

I totally need a milkshake now.

Mandala On Your Mind

Happy Friday, Fab Free! By now you have probably figured out that I love free gift cards and free credits. I guess they are my weakness. Well, there is good news I will share with you today that fulfilled my weakness spot this week. I will tell you how to get a free 300 L store credit offer, and a free 500 L gift card. One of these offers expires today, so go ASAP!

Say What? Free 300 L gift credit!

The four stores run by Monshine Allerhand are giving away 300L free credits to all members of their subscriber system. Simply subscribe to their stores for free, and then you will receive the credit gift. The four stores you can claim your credit gift are: Vaxer, Gaall, Sweet Temptations, and Chic and Shoes. You can pick up your free credit at any of these locations, but when you click the subscriber just select which store you would like to spend your credits at. You can only spend the credits at one of the stores, so choose wisely! Examples of products from each store can be seen on Moonshine Allerhand’s flickr page. I selected Vaxer as my store of choice and I purchased the India set, which is really cute. I love the shorts especially. The credit offer expires on August 31st, so you have until the end of the month to collect and spend your credits. This free credit offer is often offered every few months, so once you become a subscriber to the stores you should receive notices of when it will be available again. Have fun with it!

More Gift Cards!

Another store which currently has out a free gift card is QUERT. A 500L gift card is on offer there today, which you get when you join their free group. I love the face tattoos sold by QUERT, such as this Mandala face tattoo for Genus heads. The gift card is available only until the end of today, August 7th, so head over there quick and spend your card!

Thanks for reading, Fab Free!

Video Games

I can’t imagine anyone being at all surprised that I’m super nerdy a lot of the time and pretty proud of it too! This is also a specific instance in which I am perfectly okay with perpetuating a few stereotypes. Gaming headsets are nerd gear. Gamers are nerdy, and it is awesome. Glasses are sexy, and also nerdy. The two go together ladies and gents! Books, especially on a bookshelf with photos of space, also nerdy. I love it! lol Lastly, I happen to be wearing a group gift romper, which may not be a nerdy stereotype but it is super comfortable. Keep reading and I’ll tell you all about my nerdilicious finds. Also, please don’t take any offense to my name calling. In my mind being a nerd is not a bad thing, and this is all meant to be in fun and not judgmental in anyway. ❤

Spoiled 

If you head to the back of the Spoiled store you’ll see some rather racy gamer girl outfits with accessories. One of those accessories are these winged gaming headphones. They come in a fatpack of color options with choices for coloring 2 parts of the headset, and they are completely free. Just buy them for nada, zip, zilch, zero linden.

BND

These adorably nerdy glasses are another Marketplace find by BND. These “Vintage” beauties by BND can be yours for just 4 linden. They also have a color change hud with options for the frames, lenses, and stem ends.

Someone Stole My Sign

The Geeks Unite event (a childrens/teens event) starts August 7th and runs for a few weeks. At this event you can pick up this “nerd” bookshelf set by Someone Stole My Sign (SSMS) for just 1 linden. The gift also includes an ottoman (not shown).

Chic Moda 

This cute low-cut romper is the August group gift at Chic Moda. This gift comes in three sizes, and has a texture change hud with six choices. The Chic Moda group is 150 linden to join.

Sizes Included: Slink Hourglass, Maitreya Lara, MeshBody Legacy
