Today is a great day for a quickie, isn’t it? Read on to find out more about this free dress. Sometimes you just want an elegant gown to wear for trippin’ the night fantastic. You want to look sleek, polished, and stunning? Then you need to get yourself over to the Dubai event and scoop up this delicious gown that’s just perfect. You don’t even have to join a group as none of the gifts require that a group tag be worn. The Dubai event runs until February 10th; mark your calendars so you don’t miss out. One of the gifts I scooped up is this lovely long dress courtesy of Carol’s store. I love the way it hugs my body curves. The Jessica long dress comes in this gorgeous red color.

By now you’ve heard about the passing of Palomma Casanova, maybe from Aline’s post here. I did not know her personally or ever speak to her, to my recollection. I can’t claim any personal grief or loss. But that isn’t to say that I’m not affected because really all of SL is affected. The Free Dove was an institution in Second Life for over 18 years. It was always around as a place to send new players or even veterans that needed to spruce up their avatars for free. In that way, The Free Dove and FabFree had the same mission. It was strange shopping at The Free Dove for this post, knowing that it’s creator is no longer with us and that it might be the last time I’m there before the doors close for good.
I picked up a few items and went to a pretty sim of sunflowers that I found on Palomma’s profile picks, that it appears she owned as well. The free items that I’m wearing from The Free Dove are:
Free sweater dress by Satus Inc in sizes for Belleza (Freya, Isis, Venus), Maitreya, Slink (Hourglass and Physique), TMP, and fitmesh sizes XS-XL
Free hair by Faga with a style HUD including all the colors
Free boots by Shoe-Ddiction sized for Freya, Hourglass, Isis, Maitreya, Physique, and Venus
To get these pieces for yourself you just need to be in The Free Dove group (it’s free to join). Then head over to The Free Dove to get the things that I’m wearing and so much more, all for free. There’s no word on how long the sim will remain so you’ll want to make the trip sooner rather than later.
Thank you Palomma, for your amazing contribution to the SL community. I have a feeling that The Free Dove and you will be remember and talked about long after the sim disappears.

Hello my FabFam! I promised myself I’d let my Fey side out more often this year. So you can expect more fantasy and more ramblings in the deep forests of SL. I saw this lovely gown today and just felt like it needed that ‘fantasy’ twist. Of course, it’s perfect for more human activities too. 😉
This is the “Stella” gown from GGVG ( also know as Guguvaga ) and you can pick it up for free when you wear your Group Tag. “Stella” also comes in a sizzling red and an ebony black if the blue isn’t your favorite color. But, hey, why not grab ’em all?! The GGVG Group is free to join! And while you’re there, check out all the great past gifts up for us to add to our closets as well.
It’s the start of a New Year. Yes, indeed. Time to hit the gym to shed a few pounds, and tone up some sexy muscles. I made it to the gym today but watching all those men behind me work out & sweat (not the stinky kind) made me pretty darn thirsty. I couldn’t even think of exercising until I hydrate. Do I get points for just standing here looking fab?
The Right Stuff
Luckily I visited the latest round of Designer Showcase celebrating the 12th anniversary of this event. Most designer booths have gifts in them. You will need the Free to join group. I picked up this sweet bodysuit by Ghee that is perfect for working out as well as looking fetching. The Juliet bodysuit comes in the colors pictured.

Why Not?
Okay, some might say my fine looking earrings are a bit much for the gym. I say hey, I have to look fab wherever I roam. The Mahogany Store has the Crystal earrings I wearing set out as a free gift at Designer Showcase. They remind of the old “bling” jewelry back in the old days of SL. They aren’t as primmy as the old ones so you can wear them knowing with confidence that you won’t crash a sim. Do you know that the owner & creator for the Mahogany Store started her SL life as a singer? Not only is she a fine performer, she’s a pretty awesome creator.
What’s your workout style?

Loving Me Some Pink
When I spied this in Aline’s Fabulous Finds post today it was screaming out my name. And best of all LSR has set this gift out for FREE! All I had to do was activate my Mesh Body Friends group tag (It’s Freeto join). The things I love about the Sexy Jennifer outfit are: (1) it’s pink, (2) is a leopard print, (3) it’s a nicely-fitting body suit, and (4) the boots are included! You can’t go wrong with this one ladies (and guys too if you’re inclined).

A Finishing Touch
My awesome earrings , Raven, are a Free group gift from Masoom/$250 is current group fee. These dangle nicely and include a texture change hud giving you six options for metals for both the small crescent & star and the larger crescent. You can mix & match until your eyes give out!

Heaux, Heaux ,Heaux as we say in Cajun country. The weather today is chilly but in a day or so it will get really cold. Like 23 degrees Fahrenheit (that’s 0 Celsius for you folk north of the border)! Glad I was able to wear this saucy little number at least once. I, as most of you, have been busily hitting the advent calendars around the grid.
Baboom is Back!
I was ecstatic to hear that Baboom has an advent calendar out. I hadn’t seen anything from the store in quite some time. On day 9 I picked up this cute plaid outfit named Carina. You can still grab all of the previous days’ gifts for freeat Baboom. Don’t you love when designers add those extra touches that makes a creation unique? This outfit has lots of them. It’s like having bells & whistles. Carina is sized only for the Maitreya body.
Be Merry!

Alrighty folks, today we are taking a look at a few of the gifts from Next Door Designs‘ advent calendar. These are still available. The group is required and FREE to join. Then you right click the day you want, pay L$1 and get that L$1 back, so the gifts are FREE too! Let’s start with the three outfits above:
The first one is the “Brynn Top & Skirt” in teal floral print. This three piece set also includes panties. It is from Day 15. This set fits Belleza Freya/Isis/Venus, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya and Slink Hourglass.
Next is the white sweater dress. It is called what it is “Sweater Dress White” and is from Day 12. This cute dress fits Belleza Freya/Isis/Venus, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Slink Hourglass/Physique.
The 3rd one above is “Jasmine Tropical Dress” from Day 1. This set comes with the top, skirt and arm sleeves as separate pieces. And it is fit for Belleza Freya/Isis, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, & Slink Hourglass.
Now for some more formal/cocktail wear:
The gorgeous first dress is “Daphne Gown Gold” and is from Day 16. This gown comes fit for Belleza Freya/Isis/Venus, Legacy & Legacy Perky, Maitreya, & Slink Hourglass/Physique.
The black sweater dress in the middle is “Eva Dress Black” from Day 17. The opening on the side is actually flipped as I mirrored this image so that the overall layout looked better. Eva is fit for Belleza Freya/Isis, eBody Reborn, Legacy, Maitreya and Slink Hourglass/Physique.
And from Day 5 we have the “Vicki Rose Pattern Top & Skirt Peach” which includes the glittery belt. This set fits Belleza Freya, eBody Reborn, Kupra, Legacy + Perky, & Maitreya + Petite.

Hello Dear Fabbies. First of all, I apologize for vanishing for over a week. To make it quick and move on with the post I’ll give you a short FYI: I suffer from numerous health problems that tend to kick me off my feet for days at a time. Ok let’s move on!
Today I’m doing something a little different for these Days of Christmas posts. I cannot decide if I want to do only 12, or do the full number on Advent calendars. However, the next few will be catch up and will cover stores that have Advent calendars with gifts available through Christmas. If you have an opinion on any of this, feel free to voice it in the comments below!
So for Day 6, I am bringing you 3 dresses and 3 pairs of shoes from Pink Mango. This fun store has a 24 day advent calendar for group members and the group is FREE to join. Once joined, just click the day you want and voila! And as I stated above, all days so far that are past are still available. For FREE! The pretty sweater top and skirt set above that I am wearing are the gift from Day 12. And the heels are Day 13. Here is the fit information for you:
Outfit:
Standard fitmesh sizes XS through XL
Maitreya
Slink Physique
Belleza Venus
Heels:

This second outfit includes the beautiful, metallic minidress from Day 6 and the copper boots from Day 11. Again the fits are:

Standard mesh sizes XXS through L

I also have to share this beautiful skin from AnneLand called Jade. With your purchase you receive the BOM face skin in normal and no brow versions, a neck fix and the ear tattoo. This fits Lelutka Evo X. AnneLand skins are made to coordinate with Velour body skins and Jade comes in tones ranges Blush through Sunkiss. I am wearing Sienna in the no brow option and added some eyebrows I had in my inventory. The skins are absolutely stunning and the reason I am telling you about them here on FabFree is because the entire store is 80% off through December 31st!!! If you haven’t already, go check them out!
Finally, one last amazing deal is this set of props and poses I am using. It is from Fashiowl, which has the most amazing prop/backdrop/pose sets I have ever seen. This particular set I am using is called “Thanks” and it was perfect for this “Christmas tree shopping in California” shoot. Your purchase comes with the set, which you can sit on and choose poses from the menu, a pose stand, and all 12 poses individually. All this for only L$60 right now! But grab it quick because it’s on sale for the 60L$ Happy Weekend. The far background of tropical plants and the sand are part of the sim I took these photos on, which of course I will credit below.
Side note…I just realized as I was doing the credits that three of the items I am wearing have the same name, and that was totally not planned! See if you can spot it below…
Until next time!

I am mostly an armchair traveler. However I’ve been mostly absent from the grid for the past several weeks because I took a long overdue vacation with friends in California’s Central Valley. We traveled just about every day. If you ever wondered where a great deal of our produce and nuts are grown you can find it in the fertile soil of the valley.
I felt like an intrepid explorer while exploring the Lost Coast. It has been on my bucket list for years now. There exists only one road with many, many potholes and bumps that provides you with stunning vistas of the coast line with its’ offshore rocks and huge breaking waves. When the Pacific Coast Highway was being built the King’s Mountain Range could not be tamed forcing the highway inland. hence the moniker “The Lost Coast”.
Sparkle Brightly
Don’t know about you but I am loving all the great gifts around the grid I picked up at shopping events, advent calendars, and hunts. Today I’m sparkling like a fine champagne in my festive Sweety dress from Le’ La. It is tastefully decorated with several Christmas textures. A Santa Hat is included. You can pick it up for $1L at the store for The Fashion Loft Treats and Sweets 2022 Holiday Event. It’s a shopping event combined with gifts. Pick up the event HUD at TFL Headquarters.

This fab hairstyle from Ali & Allie was $99 for The Fashion Loft Treats and Sweets 2022 Holiday Event. Can you say Festive?? The Jupiter updo comes with peppermint canes and red garland!! It’s absolutely perfect so I HAD to get it! I completed my look with boots and glasses from the Christmas Barbie Outfit by Darkness. You can find it in the Darkness MP store for $1L.
Now you can hit all those places with gifts and get yourself looking festive.
Guess what? It’s time for Day 5! I was feeling very classy today with this post, but with a vintage twist. I love each of these pieces that are included in this post and had to share them.
The beautiful chair I am sitting on is today’s gift at Zerkalo. The fabric is such a lovely vintage/shabby-chic design. There are several PG animations included as well. Zerkalo‘s advent calendar is FREE for group members and the group is FREE to join.
I swooned over the luggage/travel decor in the center. Aesthetically at least, I would have loved to live in that era. But I have to remember these things were normal then and didn’t look old and vintage and cool like they do us now. This decor set (all one piece) is the gift from Yasum today. I got a cool surprise today when I was writing this up…it has poses!!! Three female poses and three male. Yasum‘s gifts are FREE with no group needed.
Next I have to share this gorgeous little Christmas tree from Lelutka. I didn’t realize this but apparently they send a FREE tree every year to their group members (FREE to join). This is not part of an advent calendar, but such an awesome gift, I had to tell you all about it. And it totally fit the theme I was going for.
Now…this dress. This is what started this whole post. I opened this FREE dress gift up from Next Door Designs for Day 4 (still available) and I fell in love! First I need to give a little instruction on getting their gifts. You must join the group, which is FREE to join (you can right click the calendar and edit to find the group name) and then you right click and select to pay L$1 on the day you want to receive. That L$1 is then immediately refunded. Here are the fits for this dress:
Belleza Freya & Isis
eBody Reborn
Legacy
Maitreya
Slink Hourglass & Physique
I threw on this lovely white stole from Day 3 of the Glitzz advent calendar, also still available. The calendar at Glitzz is FREE with no group needed. This stole comes fit for:
Belleza Freya
Kupra
Legacy & Perky
Maitreya & Petite
Slink Hourglass
The last thing I want to talk about is this jewelry from Versois et Mailloux. The earrings are from Day 4 and the necklace from today. Both are still available. They are unrigged and come with an HUD. You do need the group to get the gifts at Versois et Mailloux, but it is FREE to join and the gifts are FREE as well.
