Bridesmaid

OK just to be clear, I’m not a bridesmaid!  Nor a bride (phew)!  I do have a friend who might have a SL wedding though, and she sent me a LM to this gorgeous SIM and I just had to find something to wear in a blog picture here.

Que bridesmaid

Above is the short story of how I came to be dressed in this lovely gown, looking for a wedding to crash. 😉   This SIM, The Anchor, needed something glamorous, and I had just picked up this beautiful gown as the latest free group gift from Purplemoon.

The gown comes in PBR and fallback textures and has a lovely subtle floral pattern to the skirt, and a lovely sheer back that I couldn’t show you in this picture.  It’s a fatpack too!  It comes sized for:

• Lara X/Petite X
• Legacy/Perky/Bombshell
• Reborn/Waifu

The Purplemoon group is 100L to join, there are other glam gifts, and some group only lucky chairs available to you when you’re wearing the tag.

I couldn’t pull off a gorgeous gown without accenting it with some beautiful jewelry, and I found just what I needed at Second Nature Jewelry.  These Rory rose quarts earrings are perfect for this gown, and they’re a free gift for members of Mischief Menagerie, which is free to join!  You can find them next to the Fab Free group gifts, which are on the opposite side of the wall from the store group gifts, just inside the store.

Peace

The News

Heya Fabulosos!  I’m just back from doing the rounds of this quarter’s edition of L’Homme Magazine, and I’ve got fresh new free gifts to show you.

Newsworthy

If you hadn’t already grabbed the notecard out of the notices of the L’Homme group, you can find all the stores with reader gifts on page 24-25.  I’m wearing three of them in this photo.

• Free Hoodie by IMPACTS Store (fatpack, sized for Jake, Kario, Gianni X, Legacy Athletic, Aesthetic)
• Free Bat by Kindex (right or left holds)
• Free Cigarette (and pack, not shown) from TANAKA

Fair warning, the IMPACTS Store has had a re-design, so my best tip for finding the gift locations within each store is to area search ‘L’Homme’ and walk around a bit, it’ll eventually come up.  There are many more than these free gifts tho, but you have plenty of time to pick them up.  The next issue won’t be out until April.  The L’Homme group is free to join.

Oh, I’ve blogged my hair before but I’ll mention it again, these are the Gac bangs from Kuni and they’re perfect for under a hoodie.  They come as a fatpack and in multiple sizes, and they’re a group gift.  KUNI is currently free to join.

Peace Out

LoveGame

Well Fabs, I had to save my favorite Valentine Shop&Hop post for last.  I know, you’d think I’d want to do it right away, but maybe this is the motivation you need to scoot on over there and get these free gifts before it ends!

Don’t be blue

Unless you’re wearing it, that is!  Yes, of course my favorite gift from the Shop&Hop is this GLORIOUS scarf from Boys To The Bone.  It’s just marvelous.  I felt like a cross between Lenny Kravitz (remember his giant scarf?) and the avant garde Lady Gaga so “LoveGame” it was.  So let’s get into the free gifts I’m wearing in this picture:

• Free Dress by Luova (Fatpack, sized for: LaraX/PetiteX, Legacy/Perky/Bombshell, Reborn/Waifu)
• Free Scarf by Boys To The Bone (Unisex, male and female fit)
• Free Rose by [Moonsha] (Fatpack, right or left hold)

These really are gifts you won’t want to miss.  Head on over to the Valentine Shop&Hop before these gifts disappear!  It’s open through February 16th only and don’t forget everything in all the shops is 20%-50% off too.

Here’s our spreadsheet.

Peace

Bunnies

Hey Fabs!  This group gift has been around a while, and I’ve been hanging on to it too.  I wasn’t sure whether to show it to you for Valentine’s Day or Easter, because it combines both holidays, but seeing how cold it’s been, and how fluffeh it is, I decided now is the time!

Fluffy buns

This outfit is called Prunes, it’s a megafatpack from Sinoux.  It contains a fatpack of gorgeous colors of both the fluffy sweater and the pants, and they can each be worn separately.  The fluffy sweater has a heart and bunny ears on the back, and the pants are split similarly at the bottom.  Absolutely adorable.  The Sinoux group is only 60L to join, and you can pick this megapack up for free once you join. What a deal! It comes sized for:

• Lara X
• Legacy
• Reborn

I failed to use this take out box of love in a post sooner, but I absolutely fell in love with this free gift from Schadenfreude at the Valentine Shop&Hop.  It comes as decor or with a hold and you can change all the colors of the hearts inside.  Don’t miss this one, you have until February 16th to pick it up.

P.S. Yes my feet are freezing. 😉

P.S.S. It’s bunny season at my house IRL.  I have a yard full of clover in the spring and there are so many bunbuns every morning and evening in my yard!  I love watching their little white buns scatter when I come outside!

Peace

I Hope He Buys You Flowers

Valentine’s Day is fast approaching. Here are a couple of free group gifts that you might want to pick up before it arrives.

Sultry

My gown is a free group gift from Chic & Chips. It’s a new to me shop with a wall of free gifts for the free to join group. I selected this gown to show you, which comes in this striped version or black and with optional sleeves in both colors. It’s a lovely, sleek, sexy, floor length number that’ll hug all your curves.

Sizes:

• Lara
• Lara Petite
• LaraX
• LaraX Petite
• Legacy
• Legacy Perky
• Reborn
• Reborn Perky
• Reborn Waifu

Sunny

Tulips are my favorite flowers, but even if they weren’t this bouquet is a keeper. It’s a free group gift at Energy Weekend. If you go to their HQ area, you’ll find a bunch of free gifts for the Energy Weekend group, which is also free to join. The other gifts are all around on the walls and those stick around, but this one is off by itself and I think it’s more temporary. The gift includes three bouquets of tulips in three different colors. The hold animation with it is more casual arm hold, but I changed it a bit with my pose.

I Saw Your Face, In A Crowded Place

This silly old winter definitely calls for someplace tropical in SL!

The Fit

There is a new round of free group gifts at Off-Line. You’ll find a wall fuuuuuull of gifts behind the front desk, straight ahead when you walk in. The rows are divided up by month, so if you click a gift in the July row it’ll just say that it’s not active. Click any of the pictures in the February row though, and you’ll be rewarded with a folder containing SEVEN free gifts. You don’t have to click each individually, clicking on any of them gives you all of them. There is a lot to unpack and they are all huge fatpacks so there’s a lot to click through too. I finally landed on this dress and bra and to the seaside I went. The bra and dress each come in so many colors that I can’t count them all and obvs it could be sexy instead of beachy, but I choose both! The Off-Line group is 99L to join and you can see that big ol’ wall of what you’ll be getting as the year progresses.

Sizes:

• Maitreya
• Freya
• Hourglass
• Kupra
• Legacy

To Sip

I picked up my beverage at Havoc. It’s the newest free group gift. It comes in 4 versions – with/without text and deco/hold. There’s a fatpack HUD so you can pick any color you like, and for the text version there are a bunch of text options too. There are some cute ones and many less than PG ones. I picked “Hot AF” because I mean, it’s hot out here under this Mediterranean sun. The Havoc group is free to join.

I Could Hold You For A Million Years

Um yeah, I’d say this is just about the perfect Friday night right here. After the week I’ve had and the way I’m feeling, give me my teddy and put me to bed.

Believer

There’s a new free gift at Believe. That’s probably enough to get you tp’ing right there but wait, at least let me tell you a little about it first. The gift is this shirt that I’m wearing, the teddy bear, and some matching shorts for your manfriend. There’s a HUD of Valentine hued colors to choose from, in solids or with the heart pattern. There are also loooots of other great gifts up on the wall to have a gander at. The group is 199L to join and that gets you access to many free group gifts.

Shirt Sizes:

• LaraX
• Maitreya
• Legacy
• Reborn

Flirty

I hope you haven’t run off yet, because my hair is also a great deal! It’s today’s Fifty Linden Fridays offering from Wasabi. That means 50L will get you this style and all of the colors. The bow is optional and also comes in a fatpack of color options. You really can’t go wrong with this cute updo for 50L. The sale price will last through the weekend.

 

Alright, you can go shopping now. I’m going to bed.

Ev’rybody Want to Be a Cat

I’m a cat lover.  I’ve had cats from the moment I was born, and all throughout my life since then.  Sitlan from Nut & Squirrel let me know he had this kittycat free for everyone in his store for Valentine’s Day, and I knew I had a great outfit he made I had already picked up I could wear with it.

Scratch, scratch

This photo scratches my itch for 2 things, cats and holiday wear!  Yes, of course they’re both free!  You can find the cat when you land at Nut & Squirrel, and then if you take the TP (I think it’s the one that says Bargains) you can also find this Candy outfit for free!  This is a group gift for our own Fabulously Free In SL group (which is, of course, free to join).  It’s a full fatpack, you can change the colors of both the top and skirt, and the hearts, mix and match to your content.  It comes sized for:

• Lara X/Maitreya
• Legacy/Perky
• Reborn/Waifu

Pssspssspsss … the shoes I’m wearing are a gift from Mosquito’s Way, and they’re only 1L.  Aline blogged them when it reopened in this post here, but it never hurts to mention it again.

So Fluffy

Three cheers for FLUFFY!  Seeing as though half my country is covered in snow, and there was even snow in my town (that melted when it hit the ground), I felt it was a good time for all the fluff and warmz!

Snuggle up

So first, Aline IM’d me and said ‘Did you see the fluffy gift from [ADD]?  She graciously offered it to me to blog, since she did the last fluffy gift (OK, we love the fluff!).  So here’s the group gift for February, this light blue fur coat.  It comes in a ton of sizes:

• Belleza Gen X Classic/Curvy
• Kupra
• Legacy/Perky
• Maitreya/Petite (fits my Lara X)
• Peach
• Reborn/Waifu

Currently the [ADD] group is 250L to join (it’s usually 99L) so check the cost through the month, maybe.  There is always a group gift on the dot the 1st of every month!

Yeti

So I knew, when I put on that coat, that I had the perfect boots to blog to go with it.  So, now I’m going to show you some of the many group gifts over at Punklist!  There’s a wide variety of gifts you can pick up when you join the group for free!

• Free Ponytail Hair (with hairbase for EvoX and Genus, black only)
• Free Boots (unrigged, not sized, in black and white)
• Free Bag (in black, white and red, with multiple right and left holds)
• Free Hairpins (fatpack)

The gifts I’m wearing in this photo are only a sample of the other hairstyles and gifts you can pick up at Punklist!

Honorable mention, I picked these earrings up over the winter holidays because they looked like Christmas ornaments, but in the package are also gold and silver disco balls.  I absolutely had to add them to this outfit.  They are by King Candy, and you can purchase the whole pack for 10L on Marketplace.

Stay warm out there!

Peace
