You may know this about me, FabFree, but in SL I am a fan of quality. Sure I have my particular style, things that I prefer to wear/use, and a type that I am drawn to. But more than any of that, I just love the gorgeous things that people create, whether it be a split lip or especially good shine on a piece of clothing. I am in awe of the quality and creativity.
For Example
Take this top, for example. Behold the beauty – the previously mentioned shine, the details of the little ring adjusters, the way the bottom is bunched up just enough. And on to the part that you’re here for, it is a free group gift at LeCastle and the group is free to join. Included is a HUD of lovely iridescent hues and sizes for:
Altamura
E-Curvy
Freya
Hourglass
Legacy
Legacy Perky
Maitreya

Sometimes you put on a few items and you think you know how a look is going to come together. You think you’re in control. But friends, I’m here to tell you that we’re all just slaves to the rhythm. Don’t fight it. Let the rhythm take control. Tonight! Too much Gloria Estefan, or just enough? You be the judge.
Swanky
Swank has already gotten a decent amount of coverage here on FabFree, but you should know that it’s ending soon. This event is very large. Far be it for me to say that an event is excessively large, but wow is there a lot going on there. I’m not complaining, my visit has absolutely bloated my inventory with pretty freegifts. But yeah, it’s a lot. You better head over to Swank now so you’ve got time to see everything before it closes on September 30th. You’ll need to join the freegroup and click on the glowy gift at each booth to gather free gifts galore. The things I’m wearing from Swank are:
My free dress by [AF] comes with a HUD so you can pick the color. There are sizes for Belleza (Freya, Isis, and Curvy), Legacy, Maitreya, Signature Alice, Slink, and Slink Hourglass. It’s always great to find a sexy little mini that stands apart from the rest!
And then of course there’s the maracas that I’m holding, which completely changed the direction of my night, free from LeMont at Swank. So fun. There’s one for each hand and a HUD featuring seven difference dances that you can do while you shake your maracas.
amias
amias has put out a new free group gift and I couldn’t get over there fast enough. This time it’s these leg binds. You can wear the right and left separately and they come for Legacy or Maitreya, and with a HUD of color options. The amias group is freeto join and the gift is free, and don’t miss out on the other free group gifts while you’re there.
P.S. My hair is once again from the Doe street sale. Just about all the hair that I’ve worn *checks notes* since the sale started has been from Doe. Can’t stop, won’t stop. I’ll once again direct you to Adalynn’s post here and strongly urge you not to miss this sale, it’s a good one.

Happy Friday Jr, FabFree! The weekend is just around the corner and I, for one, am ready for it. Also, happy first day of Fall to my fellow residents of the Northern Hemisphere…or first day of spring if you’re over there south of the equator (I’m jealous of you 😉). But enough with the pleasantries, I stumbled upon two fantastic freebies last night. I love it when a blog post makes itself.
What’s She’s Wearing
First I was over at Off-Line, trying to spend a store credit, and I clicked on this set thinking about buying it…and much to my avail, I realized that it’s actually a free group gift! The Vidhor set is placed by the front doors, away from the other group gifts, and looks just like any of the other sets out for purchase. Just active your Off-Line group or join the group for free, and it’s yours for free. The set includes the top, skirt, and boots in a wide range of colors. I was struck by how fabulous the texturing is. From the shine on the boots and top to the frayed edges of the skirt, it’s really very well made. Sizes included are:
Freya
Hourglass
Kupra
Legacy
Maitreya
Reborn
Where She’s Sitting
My other free gift is from Onsu, and it’s the skybox that I am sitting in. I am absolutely not doing this skybox justice, there is so much more to see. Have a look for yourself by tping to Onsu, clicking to join the subscribo, and the free skybox is delivered. It’s gorgeously textured and with various poses and interactions scattered about, and some different versions included too.
P.S. My hair is one from the Doe hair sale that Adalynn covered here. The sale is still going on and there are so many great styles available!

I’ve been a bit obsessed with the Midnight Mania board at Moon lately. Pretty much the first thing I do upon logging in is head on over to slap the board. It fills up fast most days so sometimes I miss it, but it’s worth the quick tp to find out. So make sure that you go early! The prizes aren’t just hair and all of the stuff available is so great!
My Collection
Yes, I’ve been collecting Moon Midnight Mania prizes! Everyone needs a hobby. There are so many fun prizes here that I’ve been able to build a whole look with them. Here is the small sampling that I’m wearing today:
First, hair! The one I’m wearing is Fallen. There are a couple of styling options and with or without the little hair horns. “Hair horns” makes me giggle but it’s an accurate description, they are in fact horns made of hair. In the best way possible. And don’t even get me started on the color huds. So many colors, not to mention pages of roots and ombres and duos. So much! Oh and I forgot to mention that the bangs are a separate piece, so you can wear it with or without!
Next we’ve got a different kid of hair – eyelashes! These are made for closed eyes and they’re just so pretty and soft and full. There is a masked and unmasked version for each eye.
Even the bodysuit came from Moon! The eLuv bodysuit is a sweet and sexy style with a cut out over the tummy and pretty little heart detail. And it should be no surprise by now that the prize is a full fatpack. Very generous with lots of colors to choose from and even some bonus shiny holographic type textures like the one that I’m wearing here. Sizes included are: eBody, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Perky.
A lot of good stuff, right? And I got ALL of it from the Midnight Mania board at Moon. If you don’t know how midnight manias work, here’s the lowdown. It’s a board set out with a predetermined prize that needs a predetermined number of clicks in one day. If the target number of people click (once per avatar) then the board is locked down and everyone gets the prize at midnight! Some require a group join and others don’t, the ones at Moon require that you be in the group and the group costs 350L but then you get the prizes for free. It’s a pretty basic concept but just in case you weren’t familiar with it, now you know! The prize changes each day so be sure to visit each day to get all of the goodies.
Speaking of Collecting…
Yeah, I definitely collect poses too. There are a bunch of really great freeones over at loel! I’ve probably mentioned them before and I use them a lot, but I’m bad at keeping track of which ones I bought and which were free. The one I’m using today is definitely free. Just join the loel group for free and there’s a free“pose bomb!!” box brimming with past group gifts on the front desk of the store. This pose is in that box.

Good afternoon, FabFree! I found the perfect hunt for the procrastinators out there, because it lasts not only a month… but 80 whole days! It’s been going on for a while already and there’s still time to catch up on it. I’m talking about the Around The Grid in 80 Days Hunt, run by Fun With Hunts. This hunt is perfect for me because I am always behind schedule and running late to events and hunts. I’m guessing some of you may be able to relate to the procrastination life!
I am wearing the following prizes from the hunt, and each prize costs only 1L.
The fantastic top is the prize from The Bold Llama T-Shirt Co. Written on it is the saying, “I Love You To the Moon & Back”. I thought it was so cute. This is one of my favourite sayings because I think of a few special people in my life I love the most when I hear it. The shirt fits Lara, Legacy, Freya, Isis, Venus, Hourglass, Physique, Ebody Classic, Ocacin, TMP, Tonic Curvy & Fine, and Standard Sizes.
The adorable shorts are the 1L prize from ZFG, which is one of my favourite stores of all time. These shorts are a fatpack, which includes a colour hud that allows you to change the main colour to several basic colours like black, beige, purple, red, etc. Each version of the shorts comes with a black band/lining. They are very comfy and what a great deal for only 1L! The shorts fit Erika, Freya, Kupra, Hourglass, Legacy, Maitreya and Reborn.
Lastly, the ridiculously cute boots are the prize from Poeme Couture. They come in brown with a fun retro pattern on them. They are so well made and the texture is fab as always with this creative designer. These are resizable boots that you can adjust to fit any feet!
The hunt officially ends on September 30th, 80 days from when the hunt started. The list of hints and prize previews can be found here. All prizes are 1L. If you can’t be bothered finding the hints and the prizes hidden at each location, you also have the option to buy each hunt prize for 25L.
Ah, September… the month of new beginnings and a new school year is almost upon us. It’s the first day back to school over here where I live! Sometimes I wish I could just go back to school and re-live my college years. Sure, school sucks sometimes and it’s a lot of hard work… but I loved walking around the University quad with a coffee in hand, venturing off to my next lecture and absorbing my mind in the world of higher education. In all honesty, I didn’t have many responsibilities back then besides dedicating myself to learning more about the world. I just loved learning, reading, and discussing ideas, so being in College/University was one of the best times in my life!
…Fast Forward to November
I am an odd one for wanting to go back to school, huh? Well, I am also a bit strange when it comes to my opinions about the seasons of the year. Despite loving the summer months and the time I get off every year, I have a stronger fondness for the Fall. Once September starts, everything becomes a blur with how crazy school and work always becomes! I am sure you can relate. However, I just love fall; it always makes me feel warm inside. Bring on pumpkin season! I am definitely one of those people who waits for pumpkin-spice lattes and Halloween in August. This sweater and skirt outfit I have on in the photo below reminds me of the month of November because it has poppies on it and it looks warm and comfy. This is my type of clothing style! I always prefer fall and winter clothes in both RL and SL, and I simply love this outfit for its fall vibes.
Get to the point, Caroline!
Well, this has been a fun and poetic exploration of my views about life, higher learning, and the seasons. Now I have two amazing outfits, poses and shoes to show you in my post today, so let’s look at what I found to bring in the fall season!
Two Lovely Limited-Time Outfits
Ari-Pari is the clothing store I am featuring today, and they are currently in the middle of renovating their store. You will find the two gifts shown in my post today at the Ari-Pari Temporary Location, which is right HERE. Ariana was so kind that she left out a group gift and a hunt prize from last August a wee bit longer for us, so that no one would miss out. The two lovely outfits shown in my post today are available for a limited period of time at the Ari-Pari Temporary Location, a skybox that will be open until mid-September. They are only available for another week or two, so I suggest everyone go now to get them before these great gifts disappear for good.
First, the school uniform shown in the first picture is a 1L promo at the Ari- Pari Temporary Location. The outfit includes a hud with 10 colour options to change the colour of the skirt and necktie. The base of this school uniform outfit is white. This dollarbie promo was a hunt prize for last month’s Back to School Hunt (which has now ended), but Ari-Pari is keeping this little gem out to grab for a couple more weeks into September due to the store closure in August. Now it only costs 1L and no hunting is required- just look for the PROMO sign and pay the vendor 1L to get the outfit for cheap!
Sizes Included (School Uniform)
Lara
Freya
Isis
Hourglass
Secondly, the pretty poppy-patterned sweater and black skirt with a belt shown in the second photo is the August group gift for group members of the Ari-Pari group. This gift is available for a limited-time. Go get it at the Ari-Pari Temporary Location while it’s still available! Note that there is a group join fee of 25L, but new limited-time monthly group gifts are regularly released for Ari-Pari group members. This outfit includes a colour-change hud for the sweater and the belt, which you can change to 4 different colour and pattern options. The black skirt can be worn with gold or silver metal belt options.
Sizes Included (Poppy Outfit)
Freya
Lara
Hourglass
The Ari-Pari Temporary Location will be open until mid- September, and I expect these gifts will no longer be available after it closes so go ASAP to get these limited-time promos and gifts! There will be even more group gifts and goodies coming out later when the main store re-opens after renovations, so stay tuned for the upcoming store re-opening!
Two 5L deals from Pacagaia
I have a few more fab deals to share that make up the rest of my look in my welcome-to-fall post today.
The poses, coffee, and cell phone shown in both photos come from a great set of bento poses, which costs only 5L from Pacagaia on the Marketplace.
The great shoes are another item that only costs 5L from Pacagaia on the Marketplace. These shoes fit Belleza, Maitreya and Slink feet. These are a full fatpack, which includes a hud to change the colours of the shoe (the top and the base) to 25 different textures. They are fantastic! Shout out to FabFree reader Aurora for showing me these – I just love ’em. 🙂
Enjoy, FabFree!

Do I look ready for the weekend? I’m sure there are a lot of things to do around the grid the next two days. I’ll be cool as a cucumber in this jumpsuit for sure! I’m a bit under the weather today so this will be a quickie!
Score one for yourself
The secret to getting yourself a fatpack of this sweet jumpsuit is that you have to head over to Graffitiwear and slap the MM board on the 2nd floor. The board says “Group Only” but at least for now you don’t need the group. Having said that, joining the Graffitiwear group costs $25L. You’ll get monthly gifts, access to the lucky board and Unlucky Kraken Dip and some quality garb in the deal. All of the clothing textures are original & hand drawn. The Graffitiwear Painted Innocense Jumpsuit comes with a texture change hud giving you six options for the pantsuit. This is another of those easy breezy outfits that’s a must have for the semi-tropical wilds of SL!
It’s time to show a bit of late-summer unicorn love! I’m not sure if that’s a thing, but it should be. Unicorns seem like the type of creature that would hang out together during a summer sunrise, and we don’t have too many of those left this year, so I decided to join them to enjoy the last days of the summer season while I still can.
Peggy
First off on the list of great gifts and prizes I have to show you today, is the latest free group gift from [WellMade]. The “Peggy” outfit includes a corset top with laces and shorts. See a closeup of the textures below. I chose to wear it in black but you can wear both pieces in pink, white, cream, or red as well. You can change the colours of the metals on both pieces as well. It’s a super cute set! [WellMade]‘s group is currently free to join, so get in the group and get all the group gifts ASAP because they are all FABULOUS!
Sizes Included
Freya
Kupra
Kups
Legacy
Perky
Lara
Petite
Hourglass
Kalista
The awesome shoes I added to this outfit are a free gift at a new-to-me store called Kakoia. Simply pay the Kalista vendor 1L and your 1L will be refunded, or hit “deliver” using the menu and they will send to you for free (no group join required). The shoes come with a hud that allows you to change each part of the shoe to 10 different colours, and there are glowing neon textures that run through them.
Sizes Included
Belleza
Maitreya
Slink
Now let’s take an up-close look at the hair and eyeshadow I am wearing today. The the hair is a lucky board prize for a VIP group and the eyeshadow is free…
Molly
My wonderful hairstyle is the current lucky board prize at Moon. You must be a group member to play the lucky board. Moon‘s VIP group costs 350L to join. I was lucky enough to win it! The prize is a “buy all pack”, which includes a style hud and a colour change hud with 4 tabs of gorgeous hair textures. This is one of my favourite hairstyles I have ever collected, and I am super happy with it!
Soiree
Finally, the lovely eyeshadow is a free gift from TheSkinnery for the Uber Anniversary. It comes in a pack of several colours. This gift is free at their mainstore until September 22nd. Please read Aline’s post here to find out more details about the event, and to access the gift list she created for us!

Hey FabFree! I’m just checking in. I’m travelling at the moment so I haven’t been able to pop in this week, but I miss you all. I’ll see you all soon next week. ❤ Here’s a quick post to tide you over!
Moon has recently updated their Midnight Madness Boards. They have lots of new items and fatpacks loaded in the boards now. If you are in the group, come slap the board every day. Make sure you wait about an hour or so after midnight so the board doesn’t crash and then we can keep winning the new prizes. The Moon group is required to play these boards, and it currently costs 350L to join. It’s one of the best MM boards on the grid!
The recent prizes I am showing from the Moon Midnight Madness Boards today are:
The Bunny hair fatpack, which includes a style hud and a colour hud.
A set of static mesh eyelashes, meant to be used with eyes closed.
See you soon, FabFree!

Hey Fabs! I have a quick post today because technology has not been treating me kindly this week. Time for a day at the beach to get away from social media and my devices that refuse to cooperate!
Moonie
First off, my hair is a free gift from the Midnight Madness Board at .Olive. It’s a full fatpack, and it includes multiple colour HUDs, including some ombre bright colours colour HUDs that I just loved. No group is needed to play this Midnight Madness Board, so the hairstyle is totally free.
Gold, Chains, Hearts
Secondly, my pretty earrings are a Midnight Madness Board prize at Yomi. Yomi‘s group is required to play the boards, which costs 100L. You can read all the details about the MM Boards at Yomi in my previous post here. Check out the detail of these earrings! They are one of my favourite pieces I have won from their boards! This pair of earrings come in gold.
Elinore
Finally, these AMAZING heels are on a special promo for 77L at [WellMade] for their 7th Anniversary. This deal is 2 little Lindens over the FabFree budget… hopefully it will not break your bank. I think this is an amazing deal because the shoes include a hud of 40 colour options to customize each part of the shoe. You can use the hud to change each individual piece – including the heel, the sole, the fringe, and the main part of the shoe – to different colours or metals. They also have everything else in the store on sale for 50% off until the end of the month. The limited-time promo on the shoes ends on August 31st, when the anniversary sale and celebrations come to a close.
