The snow is falling quietly outside and piling up to 35cm worth overnight. Keep your fingers crossed for a snow day!

Aline looked so bright and shiny in her post about The Snowbound HuntHERE, and I think that’s because she lives where there’s a real winter and wanted to be bright. Meanwhile, one time I went to Toronto in the winter and wore color, I stood out like a sore thumb and learned the only acceptable clothing in a big city in winter is black, brown or grey.
So I did
I hunted for some dark wintery items in The Snowbound Hunt, and I’m happy with my purchases, I mean, if I have to be dark and gloomy, at least I’m fluffy! All of the items in The Snowbound Hunt are 0L-25L and you can see the full gallery at the landing spot, or they are posted on Facebook. This is some of what I came home with:
25L Sweater by zOOm (sized for: Lara X, Legacy/Perky, Reborn/Waifu)
25L Leggings by zOOm (sized for: Lara X, Legacy, Reborn)
25L Nails by Yuzu (sized for: Belleza, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Reborn)
1L Snow Make up by Adore&Abhor (for Evo X)
In case you can’t recognize what I’m holding in my arms, it’s my fluffeh Silkie Chicken from Aardvark. If you’re in the Aardvark group you can enter a weekly raffle for the fatpack of your choice (which this blog post just reminded me to do)!
The Snowbound Hunt is only open for two weeks, and it closes on January 18th at 12pm SLT.

OK I don’t look one bit shy in this picture, which I think is why I chose this song for my blog post. I do look all decked out in some beautiful PBR textures tho!
Shine
I keep mentioning the great inventory clean up, which provides me with the ability to see I have all these beautiful free gifts in my inventory that are still available! This is working out well for all of us, I hope.
Just look at this gorgeous leather bodice I picked up at The Forge, completely free. It is part of Reborn Revealed, and I have no idea how long it will be available but it is still available, with no group needed! It comes in PBR and fall back textures and it’s rigged for:
Lara X
Legacy
Reborn/Juicy/Waifu
I added another free gift from the same event from Orsini Jewelry. At least, I hope I did. I also picked up all the group gifts when I joined the group and it’s possible I mixed them up. These Melody bracelets come for either wrist, and come with a fatpack metal and gem hud. The group fee is back up to 150L, but there are some gorgeous pieces to be had for that price.
The other day I blogged a new group gift Glitter Stiletto from N-CoreHERE, but I just found these shoes, the Desire heels, in my ‘to blog’ folder, and they were perfect for the bodice. They are a fatpack, and you can change the metal of the chain or turn it off. They come rigged for:
Erika
Gen X
Kupra
Legacy
Maitreya
Reborn
The N-Core group is currently 250L to join and there’s a bunch of free group gift shoes that you can pick up when you join.
Chop chop
Imagine my delight when I went into Caprice and saw she had guillotine earrings as a group gift. Not any guillotine earrings either, these come in light or dark metal and they have a pretty red crystal teardrop. I saw the group was free to join, so I did, and now I’ll be wearing these often. 😉

New year, new blogger time! It’s time to shake things up here in the land of FabFree, with a brand new addition to our blogging team. Please give a hearty FabFree welcome to the lovely Chinatsu Calavera! Chinatsu loves to do some RP in Second Life, as well as head to live music events in her spare time (she’s also been known to do some DJing now and then!). She loves to find freebies and share them with others, so if you ask me this is the perfect place for her to do her thang.
Super excited to have you join the Fab Fam, Chinatsu!
OK Fabs, I’ve got some wonderful gifts for you today from some paid groups, and they’re both worth joining!
Funny story
If you’re in our in-world group chat, no doubt you’ve seen us talk about the New Resident Help Area on Firestorm Island, a place where avatars under 90 days of age can go and pick up all kinds of things to get started, mesh heads and bodies, clothing, hair, jewelry. It’s a very wonderful place to send all the new avatars too when they join Fab Free. I went to check it out, and I saw an outfit there by one of my absolute favorite designers, Fashionably Dead, (fd) for short. I fell in love with the top she has there, but seeing as though I’m 17 and not under 90 days, I had no chance to grab it. 😉 I went to the store to see if it was for sale, and it wasn’t, but it WAS up on the gift wall! Hooray! The group join is 100L and there’s some gorgeous free gifts you can pick up there. This Open-Back Burnout top is fantastic. I love the light cotton feel and the way it hangs on my body. It’s a full fatpack too! It comes rigged for:
Gen X Classic
Lara X/Petite X/Lara
Legacy/Perky
Reborn/Waifu
Please do stop in and take a look around. The group gifts are a steal for the 100L group join, you can see my blog posts of other gifts you can pick up HERE and HERE. You can never go wrong buying something from f.d.! I’ve been a fangirl the entirety of my SLife. 😉
And then!
When I was trying to figure out what to pair my top with, I was hit with a notice from Faga.! There’s a new group gift hairstyle in the store, called Elysium. It is a full fatpack and comes with or without bangs, and you can move the pony to either side. It’s a really a very well done style, and I’m happy that Johnny worked with Truth in perfecting his skill. He’s really making some nice stuff over there. There are other free group gifts that aren’t on display, but there’s a graphic under this gift that you can click to get the previous gifts. The group join for FAGA is 350L which is a steal for one fatpack of hair, let alone the other group gifts too.
Admittedly, it was nearly impossible to blog an open back top and a front facing pony tail in the same picture, but you’ll see in better detail when you TP to these stores. 😉
Peace
