Oh, those Summer Nights

I have to admit… I am not always a fan of hot summer weather. I don’t like heat and I don’t just get sunburned… I burst into flames after ten minutes in the sun. And yet, I do love the beach…. and I LOVE the summer nights. The relief from the heat, the lightning bugs blinking everywhere, the glory of a full moon. Love it.

Summer Nights

Fashiowl must love summer nights because that’s the latest pack of gorgeous poses that are your for free at The Liaison Collaborative. The pack includes five poses each with a floating lantern prop. You just need to join the Liaison Group and help yourself.

Why Not?!

My tank top asks “why?” but I like to ask “why not?.” For example, why not indulge in this delicious looking frozen orange confection by Andika, or the cute casual tank top by The Bold Lama? I can’t think of a single reason, especially when you consider the frozen orange is a free group gift at Andika, and the top is a dollarbie hunt prize at The Bold Lama. Keep reading for details about both of these fab finds.

Andika

I’m such a foodie sometimes, and SL food is no exception. I think these frozen oranges by Andika are not only very pretty to look at, they seem like they’d be fun to eat. haha The orange on the plate acts as a dispenser for a held version and the matching animated spoon. This free group gift at Andika comes in 3 color variations. Right now the Andika group is free to join. Also, there is at least one other free group gift currently available.

The Bold Lama

It is not lost on me that the Curiosity Hunt prize at The Bold Lama asks the question “why?.” The Curiosity Hunt is a dollarbie hunt that runs from now until the end of the month. This 1 linden hunt prize at The Bold Lama comes in the following sizes: Ocasin, TMP, Belleza (Isis, Freya, Venus), Slink (Hourglass, Physique), EBody, Maitreya Lara, Tonic (Curvy, Fine), Standard Mesh (xs – XL) + Alpha Layer.

Hunt Hint: Books aren’t the only way to satisfy curiosity. 

What I’m Wearing:

• Hair – Lamb – Vex
  Head – Catwa Koura
  Skin – The Skinnery – Bria
  Eyes – Buzzeri – Celestial Eyes – Honey
  Top – The Bold Lama – Curiosity Hunt Tee – 1L Curiosity Hunt Prize
  Tattoos – Absence – Maritime Rose – Marketplace

Miss Mermaid

Down in the depths of the ocean! Or perhaps just under the water at Mermaid Cove, that’s where I found this fun mermaid gacha by NYNE that I am excited to share with you. I also picked up a free group gift by Sweet Thing, and a free gift by Shiny Stuffs while swimming through the underwater shopping at Mermaid Cove.

NYNE Miss Mermaid Gacha

Mermaid Cove is definitely a cool shopping event, well worth the visit just to see all the fanciful underwater scenery. For this mermaid themed event NYNE put out a colorful mermaid themed gacha that is just 69 linden per pull. **Please be sure that if you play this gacha you play for the size/fit you want.** I played the Slink Hourglass option so my mermaid tail and starfish would fit my Slink Hourglass body. The rare tale comes with mermaid animations that seemed to work when walking, but better when flying. I’ll include a gacha key for this Mermaid Cove gacha by NYNE below.

The Shell Necklace by Sweet Thing

Sweet Thing put out a cute shell necklace at Mermaid Cove that is free to all Sweet Thing group members. The Sweet Thing group is also free to join at this time. The necklace includes a color change hud with a few preset colors for the ribbon and some for the shell also. It’s the perfect mermaid accessory! To get yours head over to the Sweet Thing stall at Mermaid Cove and click the gift vendor while wearing your Sweet Thing group tag.

The Bubbles by Shiny Stuffs 

Shiny Stuffs helped make my day with their fun bubbles they have for free at Mermaid Cove. There’s no group needed, just find the Shiny Stuffs stall at Mermaid Cove and enjoy the bubbles. This free gift includes a version with a glow and without.

What Pru’s Wearing:

• Hair – Tableau Vivant // Tempest hair [v.6] – Browns
  Head – Catwa Koura
  Skin – The Skinnery – Bria
  Necklace – Sweet Thing. Mermaid Song Necklace – Free Group Gift/Sweet Thing Group is Free to Join @Mermaid Cove

Sticky Sweet

Hello Fab Free! I hope everyone had a good weekend. Have you been by The Cart Sale yet? I picked up a few more fabulous finds that I’m excited to share with you. This time I did my shopping at the De’Fient Unicorn cart. It’s stocked with brightly colored playful clothing and accessories at unbeatable bargain prices. I picked up this iridescent looking dress, and       this colorful sugar fest of a shake. Both items cost a grand total of 6 linden. The pretty “Unicorn” dress is just 5 linden and comes in the following sizes: Maitreya Lara, Classic Mesh, Belleza (Isis, Freya, Venus), eBody, Slink (Physique, Hourglass), and includes an alpha layer. This decadent dessert is a dollarbie treat with 5 hold options, including 2 animated eating/drinking poses. To get yours head over to the De’Fient Unicorn cart at the Cart Sale.

Roller Girl

Come skate with me Fab Free! It’s always sunny in Second Life, so why not take advantage of the never-ending sunshine and cruise around the boardwalk while listening to some tunes. This cute roller girl look is made up almost entirely of free or inexpensive items, including the free-for-everyone bikini gift at Glitzz.

The month of June may be close to an end, but Pride is always. Needless to say I was excited to find this cute rainbow bikini for free at Glitzz, no group needed. It comes in a handful of sizes and includes a hud to change the metal bits that are part of the ties. To get your copy of this free gift, head over to Glitzz and find the gift vendor near the back of the store.

The blue striped knee socks are a dollarbie Marketplace find by a store called *1* Tsutsujiya Overknee World. They come in a classic system layer, an Omega applier, and a Maitreya applier.

Finally, these cute skates are another Marketplace find. I’d tell you the store name, but there doesn’t appear to be one. One quick side note, I think it’s worth mentioning that the creator’s profile is now completely blank. That said, these skates are just 49 linden on the Marketplace. Also, there are a few other versions for the same price. These skates come with resize scripts and have a skate AO that takes over when you walk or run. I did have to turn my regular AO off to have the skate animation work properly.

I hope you have as much fun with this Roller Girl look as I did!

Head – Catwa – Koura
Headphones – Petite Mort RSD Pink Headphones 50L/Play *Originally Shown Here
