Hello there, Fabulous Readers! Gus and I are back with some budget-friendly fashion finds to share with you.
An Elegant Enigma
My lovely Marla Dress is the latest free group gift from Enigma Apparel. This sexy, off-the-shoulder dress features a side cut-out and a dramatic asymmetrical hemline. The gift folder includes a HUD with 20 color options for the fabric and 5 selections for the metal accents. To add Marla to your inventory, you must be a member of the Enigma Apparel group, and there is a 99L$ join fee.

Worth Mentioning…
As I was gathering landmarks to add to this post, I discovered that the Pointed Toe Stilettos from REIGN are still available for 50L$! I told you all about them in my post here. Also, the Hope Skin from Guapa, which was originally a free gift at the Shop and Hop that Allison told us about in this post, is now a free gift at the Guapa Main Store. I love this skin!
Happy Shopping!

RL has been kicking my butt these days, so getting a few mins inworld for peace, quiet and some creativity is always a nice little treat.
Butterfly Babe
I’ve been in the Quinnty’s group for a really long time now, and it’s been very consistent with fun, bright group gifts for their members. I don’t always get to do a post about the gifts, but I’m so happy to feature them when I can. Their latest gift is this little crop top, and it comes with a whole bunch of different textures to apply via HUD. If something has a butterfly on it, generally that’s what I’ll go for! To get yours – join the Quinnty’s group for 50L and click on the vendor on the group gift wall. You’ll find a bunch of other gifts there too, so don’t forget to look!

Well Fabs, despite this blog post being all about PEACE, I’m here to get you to HURRY again! lol You can relax once you’ve shopped, knowing you’ve scored a free outfit or a great deal!
Easy
Vagrant is having another big 50% sale, which ends after tomorrow (the 21st). They’re also giving away 300L in credit for their group members, and the group is free to join. The credit expires after the 28th, but the sale is only though the 21st, so to get the most bang for your buck, shop today! I picked this outfit up as part of the Happy Weekend sale this past weekend, and was able to use my credit on it! I needed a pair of overalls for Lara X, so I was thrilled. These come sized for:
Lara X/Petite X
Legacy/Perky/Bombshell
Reborn/Waifu
The top and the overalls are sold separately, but they were 90L each for the fatpack of colors per size, or you can also buy all bodies or the megapack as options too.
There are some other items sized for Lara X is you’re looking, also plenty for the old Maitreya 5.3 if you need that too 😉 in addition to the other bodies I mentioned above. The prices are already marked down.
I love bringing home something I love for free. Thanks Vagrant!
Peace ☮️

I happened upon a cute freebie the other day when I was out shopping ….. so I thought I would share it with ya!
Zoomies!
Like a cat in a cold snap, I often get the zoomies where I’m jumping and running all around the grid, usually because I forgot to demo a sale item and the sale is about to end 😉 This time I ended up at zOOm and much to my delight, saw this cute dress as a gift for the Maitreya Gifts, Sales & News group, which is free to join. The Thia dress is a pretty little number, as as most zOOm offerings, comes with a 4 color hud. It comes sized for:
Maitreya/Petite
Legacy/Perky
Freya
Kupra
They’re also having a sale on old items 49L or 99L per FP! There’s teleporters around the store to TP you up to the gifts and sales, so take that up and you’ll find Thia up there among the gifts.
That looks sharp!
Why thank you very much! 😊 Oh, wait, I was actually talking about my earrings. I had a browse on Marketplace for something to add to my dress, and found these cool earrings, a must for any woman (or man) with a little fight in them. They are the Sword earrings from [KOATED] and they are only 1L on Marketplace. They come with a full fatpack hud for the metal and the gems.
While we’re talking about Marketplace, I also found my shoes there, thanks to Emma (we have the best in-world group!). These are from Le’La and they, too, are only 1L The Onyea sandals are a full fatpack and come sized for:
Maitreya
Belleza
Anyway you SLICE it, this whole outfit turned out great!

It’s another beach day! I’m running wild and free with my favorite creature, the flamingo. I am envious that they stand on one leg. I’d be down within seconds if i tried that, lol. If anyone wants to flamingle with us come on over. August has been rolling on and it’s more than half way over. It seemed there were fewer hunts than usual. Have no fear, you still have time to get some really great things.
Let’s Be Cheeky, Wild, & Free
Cheeky Monkey’s Wild & Free Hunt 2 is on and it runs through August 31st. One of the stops in the hunt is Starlight Apparel. The store participates in many hunts and always has a gift worth hunting down. You might recognize this outfit from Aline’s post. You aren’t seeing double, it’s the Cora outfit. But… this one is from a different hunt and has a different texture. It’s – Yay! Flamingos! The hunt gift will set you back $1L.
The outfit is a cute set of a top and shorts that has some nice touches and comes in a boatload of sizes as follows:

Kupra

Bombshell

Get out it and beach it if you can, those cold winds will be swooping down soon.

P.S. I’m kind of standing on one leg but I had flamingo support.

OK my friends, I’ve got a lot for you packed into one post, so pay attention! Sometimes I have items I just can’t use until I find something to match with it, and that’s the case today – so you’ll find these gifts in a bunch of places, but at least you’ll get out on the grid 😉 …. and also, you’ve got to be quick about it.
Daring
I like to dabble on the side of danger, so it seemed apropos to light a joint upon exiting the jail …. I mean, seems OK if I’m somewhere it’s legal. 😉 I picked up some gifts over at the MIIX Event, and you only have a few days to get them yourself. The MIIX Event is open until August 20th, so get a move on!
FreeJoggers from FurtaCor (with boxer hud – sized for Jake, Legacy and Signature)
Free Coffee by Impacts (with texture hud)
Now, you’ll need 2 different free groups for these gifts. The joggers are on the main MIIX advertising panel for the FurtaCor Men’s group. The joiner is right next to the gift and the group is free to join.
There’s other gifts in the booths at the MIIX Event, which require the Hype Events group. I found this coffee in the IMPACTS booth. You can also join that group from the advertising panel for free. There’s a few things for men around in different booths, grab them and check them out.
A continuance
Last week, I blogged a gift from the most recent edition of L’Homme Magazine and I’ve a few more to show you this week. My glasses were a free gift from Bondi, they come with a full frame and lens color hud, and I like these a lot.
I also added this bracelet I picked up at Real Evil, the peace bracelet, because despite my daring attitude, a little peace could do me some good.
The L’Homme group is free to join and you can find a list of gifts in a notecard in the group notices or on a page in the magazine HERE.
Old news
I added this tank top I picked up at R’Way, but it’s been around a while and may have been blogged in the past. The jail tank is one of the 3 group gifts there, and the group is free to join. It comes in orange or white stripes and is sized for:
Jake
Legacy
Geralt
Gianni
Psssst, one last thing fellas … if you need a little weed smoke, you can pick up this weedie cigarette in MP for just 1L HERE.
