Anywhere But Here

Hello Fab Free’rs! I’ve packed up all I own, and I’ve got my camera. I’m ready for a long vacation, where are we going? I’d love nothing more than to be able to pack up and go on some long adventure. For now I’ll be satisfied doing my adventuring, and most of my shopping, right here in Second Life. I put together most of this look using current or previous group gifts. As always I’ll let you know all the information about how to get each one, just keep reading!

The Hair – The cute little bob hairstyle Pru is sporting is a still available May group gift at Besom. I checked there today, just to be sure. I love the slightly tousled look of this perfect-for-summer hairstyle. The Besom group is 199 linden to join, and there is more than one group gift currently available.

The Dress – This dress from Prey has the look of a structured well tailored leather dress, and the fringe just adds to the effect. It is the sort of dress you could dress up, but there’s no dressing this one down! It also happens to be the free July group gift at Prey. Love told me about it and I’m super pleased she did. The Prey group is free to join, and they also have a male gift available.
Mesh Sizes Included: Slink Hourglass, Maitreya Lara, Belleza (Venus, Isis)

The Shoes – Pure Poison recently put out this beautiful pair of black heels out as a free group gift. These shoes are absolutely gorgeous on. The Pure Poison group is free to join, so no reason to miss out on these beauties.
Sizes Included: Belleza, Slink, Maitreya

Don’t Steal My Sunshine

Hey hey, Fabulouses!  I hope you are enjoying your weekend.  I’m chillin’ like a villain as you can see :).  I have found a couple of group gifts that are pretty sweet together, so I’ll be telling you about them in this blog post!

SAFIRA AGAIN!

Just last weekend with the help of Aline and Allison [HERE], I blogged that Safira had released a new group gift, but just a few days later… another addition was up on the wall!  How generous is that?!  The latest gift to be added onto the big wall of group gifts is the Kylie Swimsuit that I’m wearing today.   The Kylie Swimsuit his high on the hips, low in the chest dip and completely missing in the back to make up the perfect sexy one piece your summer wardrobe is missing.  Included with this gift, is a massive texture change HUD with tons of great prints and solids!  Available in several mesh bodies as listed below – these suits, and all of their group gifts are yours for free with a free group join!

Sizes Included:

• Maitreya Lara
• Slink Hourglass
• Belleza Isis & Freya

New Swimsuit…  New Floatie!

Nothing pairs better with a new swimsuit, than a new floatie to lounge on!  West End has recently put these fun Bento Animated Water Vibes Floating Rings out as a group gift for their VIP group (299L to join).  These tubes come in three prints and are loaded with a menu boasting tons of static and animated poses so you can use these as a pose prop, or inworld for relaxing in your pool!

Sunday Afternoon at Luane’s

Hello Fab Free!

I hope everyone is doing fantastic today and their weekend has gone well! I have come down with a nasty case of the stomach flu and have been MIA pretty much since Thursday evening. Just have to chug through it and keep moving, even if you feel like crud! Haha. Any who how about we talk about group gifts? I am searching flickr and an ad by Elven Elder catches my eye and I figure what the heck let’s try it! The in-world group is $100L to join and after surfing their photostream for a bit, it seems they put out a new Group Gift, every month.

This dress is a beauty, she comes in varying sizes and comes with the option of a panty on/off HUD. The color blue used on the skirt is just gorgeous, that’s why I choice to give it a try! Blue is my favorite color after all and of course pink. The top as a rose gold sorta tint to it, so hey the best of both worlds there! The gift is located in the Elven Elder store and is right behind the front desk, while wearing your group tag, click the Group Gift sign and it will be delivered directly to you.

I’ll never forget the way you look tonight

I’ve been on an evening gown kick lately. I don’t know why, but I’ve found myself purchasing all of these slinky sexy gowns. Today I’m wearing just such a gown, but it’s even better becaaaaause I didn’t have to buy it – it’s FREE!

Lady in Blue

This pretty gown is just perfect. I had to show it from the back because I love the low back and the way the fabric drapes down. The cut is just lovely, tight down the body and then pools at the bottom. It is the newest free group gift from CroM. The group is free to join. This gift includes a HUD with 2 color options (blue and red) and sizes for:

• Belleza
• Maitreya
• Slink
• 5 fitmesh sizes XL-XS

And before I go, here’s the vendor picture so you can see that it’s just as pretty in the front as it is from the back:

A Quiet Place

Happy weekend, fabulous readers! 🙂

I’m enjoying some quiet time by the lake this afternoon, but I wanted to pop in for a few moments to tell you about the adorable group gift that was just set out at S@BBiA.

The Sleeveless Blouse & Wrap Skirt-Short Pants come in one mesh size with an alpha layer. The back of the blouse fastens with a button and has a keyhole opening underneath. The wrap skirt-short is actually a “skort”… it looks like a skirt from the front and shorts from the back.

Both pieces can be worn separately.

Enjoy!

❤ Serena

Fab Free Designer Friday – 07/20/2018 – ALB

If you’ve never been to ALB (AnaLee Balut) you should go, even if only to see the store. It’s a unique Arabian themed desert oasis. Walking through the store in places is reminiscent of a street bazaar. The main part of the store is several stories, so there’s plenty to explore. At ALB you’ll find mostly ladies clothing, though there is a random mens item here and there. The style at ALB is a little harder to pinpoint! Eclectic is a good word to start with. There is everything from shoes and accessories, to lingerie and ballgowns. You’ll also find fantasy inspired clothing, fashion inspired by history, and even some of what I would call Gorean clothing. As I mentioned, there’s a lot to be had!

Probably one of the most notable things about the ALB main store is the large camel statue in the center of the main floor. In this same area you’ll quickly be able to spot the ALB gift for Fabulously Free in SL group members. This gift is free and exclusive to Fabulously Free in SL group members, so don’t forget to wear your group tag! There are two additional group gifts on the same column as the Fab Free gift. Each requires a separate group tag.

As you browse through the vastness at ALB you’ll note that some items have floating text that may say “group gift” or simply “enjoy” among other things. These items are usually group gifts you can purchase for free while wearing your store group tag. The store group is LAMU and it has a one time join fee of 250 linden. Another unique aspect to shopping at ALB are their “wearable demos.” These items often have floating text as well that will say “demo” or something similar. These wearable demos are often free but sometimes cost between 0 and 10 linden. I spotted both group gifts and wearable demos throughout all the floors of the ALB store. The above photos are of a few but I am certain not all of these gift types just to give you an idea of the genuinely wide range of items. Happy shopping Fab Free, and have a wonderful weekend.

Tropical Summer Days

Welcome back to the blog Fab Free’rs! Don’t mind Pru’s expression, she has resting b!$&# face. I’m really quite happy with the fabulous finds I have to share with you. I hope you like them too. For today I have 3 goodies, this summer hat and hairstyle from Pink Hustler, the gorgeous tattoo from This is Wrong, and this fun sundress from Continuum.

The Hair & Hat – A good hat hairstyle is sometimes hard to find in Second Life. This one had me at hello. It’s one of quite a few group gifts available at Pink Hustler. The gift comes with an “Essentials” color hud that also has some pretty pastel options. Additionally there’s a few color options for the hat. The Pink Hustler group has a steep one time join fee of 500 linden. I do however thing the abundance of gifts make the fee worth while.

The Tattoo – This colorful tattoo reminds me of fractals and stained glass. I think I’ll be wearing it often! It is a free Lucky Letter board prize at This is Wrong. No group is needed to participate. There are 4 Lucky Letter boards at This is Wrong. Two have female tattoos with appliers for female bodies, and two have male tattoos with appliers for male bodies. This tattoo comes in several appliers with the option of regular and a faded version.
Appliers Included: Maiterya/Belleza, Slink, TMP

The Sundress – The bright yellow and teal sundress Pru has on is the most recent Fabulously Free in SL group gift from Continuum. It comes in a few mesh sizes and is free to all Fab Free group members, just wear your Fab Free group tag, pay the vendor 1 linden, your gift will be delivered, and you’ll be refunded your 1 linden. If you’re not a Fab Free group member, the Fab Free group is free to join.  Also, included with this cute little sundress is an alpha layer, so it is suitable for classic non-mesh avatars.
Sizes Included: Fitted Mesh, Slink (Physique, Hourglass), Belleza (Isis, Freya, Venus), Altamura, eBody

Let Your Faith Be Bigger Than Your Fear

Hmm, is that Stan on the beach over there in the wetsuit? Gosh, he looks pretty hot. I need to get Gavin a wetsuit like that…

OH HEY there, fabulous readers! You caught me ogling the cute guys on the beach today. Shame on me, but what can I say? They look too good not to look, lol! 😎

A New SENSEation

If you haven’t been over to the latest round of the SENSE Event, then you need to go there now! There are quite a few gifts set out, and I know you won’t want to miss them.

Today, I’m wearing two of the gifts, which were set out for members of the TeleportHub in-world group. The Ashley Boho Dress Pink & Mocha is by ALTER and comes in the following mesh sizes:

• Belleza
• eBody
• Maitreya
• Slink

I love the saying on the top, “Let your faith be bigger than your fear.” It’s been my mantra all this week as I’ve been pushing myself to do a few things that are definitely out of my comfort zone. 🙂

The second gift I’m wearing is the pretty Infinite Love necklace, also by ALTER. If you need to, click the necklace to bring up the blue resizer menu.

It’s Getting Hot Warm Out Here

I also picked up the newest group gift from Hello Dave and was delighted to see how perfectly it matched my outfit. The glittery little dragonflies are adorable!

Appliers for Maitreya, Omega, and Slink hands are included.

Enjoy!

❤ Serena
