Grumpy Old Saint Nick

Hello Fabulous Readers!  Since we have been having good luck lately, Ripley and I decided to continue hunting this weekend.  Along the trail of The Grumpy Santa Hunt, we found the cutest silvery romper for just 1 Linden dollar.  This outfit certainly got me in the mood for the song Silver Bells and some holiday shopping.  Well, that is until I went to Walmart in RL, and changed my mind about the shopping part.  The traffic and crowds {shudder} …. bring me shopping on SL any day!

If THIS is What Santa Brings When He’s Grumpy…

…I can’t imagine how wonderful his gifts are when he is chipper!   With large gray snowflakes scattered across a dark silver background and cozy metallic tights, the Kawaii Romper from BlondeQueen has a definite wintry vibe.  I really like the way the material shimmers in the light.  The shirt portion is a tube top style with no sleeves or neckline, so I added a warm fuzzy jacket before heading out to explore the Snow Falls sim.  My feet are covered up by my fur wedge boots, but underneath, the leggings extend all the way past the heel, so your ankles will stay cozy warm no matter how hard Jack Frost tries to chill you.  (The jacket and boots are not part of the prize.)  To grab a copy of this outfit for yourself, all you have to do is teleport to the shop and look for the lump of coal that Santa left.  After that, pay one Linden dollar and you’ll have yourself a merry little outfit.

Mesh Body Compatibility:

• Belleza Freya, Isis and Venus
• Maitreya
• Slink Hourglass and Physique

Until next time, happy hunting!

Choose Joy

Hi There Fab Free’rs! I hope the weekend finds you well. I feel like I have been a slacker this holiday season, the decorations are only partly done, and all I seem to want to do is look out the window and daydream. Even so, I do have two festive holiday finds to share with you. The first being the unisex Peace on Earth Hunt prize at Taox Tattoo. The second is part of the Candy Cane Hunt prize at Gumi’s Flower Shop.

The Tattoo – This applier tattoo is a full-body unisex Christmas themed tattoo by Taox. I love all the cute holiday imagery included in this fun tattoo. The Peace on Earth Hunt is running until the end of December, and all the POE Hunt prizes are free. The tattoo gift at Taox comes in several male and female body appliers.
Appliers included: Slink (Male), Slink (Female), Maitreya, Belleza (Male), Belleza (Female), Omega (Male), Omega (Female), Signature, Adam, and a Vista Hand applier.

The Wreath – This cute little Christmas wreath with the gingerbread men is one of several holiday wreaths included in the Candy Cane hunt gift at Gumi’s Flower Shop. You’ll find Gumi’s Flower Shop on the Peppermint Path of the Candy Cane Hunt. All the Candy Cane Hunt prizes are just 2 linden.

Christmas Angel… of Frozen Death!!

 

Folks, I am feeling Fierce! Sometimes you just have to let your inner warrior elven queen out. Am I right??

Angel on the attack

This is the Gabriel set from Jinx and it’s awesome… and free! I was fortunate enough to pick up this set from Jinx’s Lucky Chairs over in the Group sandbox. It comes with everything you see… the body suit, the paldrons, the sheer coat, the moon staff and these amazing wings. It also comes with a pair of matching gladiator knee high heels I’m not wearing. The details in the wings and on the staff are just impeccable. The body suit, coat and shoes are all Classic Mesh sizes and even though I fussed, I wasn’t able to make the shoes work for my Maitreya feet. Shoes aside, I still love this outfit and I think it’s perfect for the RP closet!

Now, if y’all will excuse me… I’m going to go scare some innocent villagers!

Fab Free Designer of the Week 12/07/2018 – KingbalStores

Hey There Fab Free’rs! It’s time for another Fab Free Designer of the Week post. I’m happy to say we’ve added a few new designers to our roster, which is of course Fantastc! This post is all about KingbalStores. At this clothing shop you’ll find mesh and applier clothing for both male and female avatars. You read that right, this one has something for the guys too! There is a wide range of casual and semi formal clothing to be found, though I’d say most of the clothing available leans toward casual every-day styles.

At the center of the KingbalStores shop is the “circulation” desk, as I like to call them. This is where you will find all the store information and info about things like events. Additionally there is a slew of store group and associated group gifts. This is also where you’ll find the free Fabulously Free in SL group gift by KingbalStores. It’s a little blue polka-dot bikini for everyone experiencing warm weather rather than cold at the moment! If you’re not already a Fab Free group member, the group is free to join. Also there is a December Advent gift calendar up at KingbalStores that is free for everyone to participate. Just click the box with the number for the date and you’ll be sent a free gift.  Finally you’ll notice several holiday themed outfits and clothing items around the Advent calendar. Each of these fun festive items appear to be priced between 75 and 100 lindens. Happy Shopping Fab Free!

A Cozy Setting for Christmas

 

We always find lots of cute clothes and hair and accessories here on FabFree. But home and garden décor sometimes slip under the radar. I, for one, love to decorate for the seasons and holidays.  My dome home is nearly always “under construction”. So when I saw these freebies at the Christmas Lane event I grabbed them up right quick! And what is ‘Christmas Lane’ you may ask…Created and built by Designer Bee Caudron of Bee Designs, it’s a magical and enchanting setting where you’ll find huge amounts of décor, masses of furniture, copious gachas, varied landscaping, animals and even holiday homes.

Hot Coco anyone?

This is the ‘Hot Chocolate set’ by Bee Designs and it’s one of the free gifts at the event. The build on the little table and sweet coco filled mugs is impeccable. It is modifiable to make larger or small and is copy ready. At 11 land impact, it won’t slow you down.

Little Red Wagon

The other gift I found was this cute little ‘radio flyer’ wagon full of presents. It too is a nice low LI at only a 6 and is copy and modify. I love the build on this little wagon too. Bee Designs is quickly becoming my ‘go-to’ for décor for just this kind of quality.

Grab your boots and coats and best Christmas apparel ’cause here’s your Taxi -> Christmas Lane

Hello there Fabulous Readers!  My post today will contain news about some sweet gacha goodness and a super cute free group gift that can be obtained with a free group join.

She’s Not The Only One

Previously on FabFree [HERE] in her post titled Dreamer, Pru showed some of the Charming Lingerie Gacha Set by Petite Mort that can be found at The Imaginarium, and she may be a dreamer but she’s not the only one! (did you see what I just did there? :D).  I am here today showing off the rare Satin Nighty.  It comes with a texture change HUD including some gorgeous shades, and I was really feeling the pale pink today!  As Pru mentioned, this set is just 50L to play and I’ve included the vendor ad below so you can see all the pieces.

At The Imaginarium, Petite Mort also has a free group gift set to the free to join Gimme Gacha inworld group at their display.  This gift is the Cream Fluffy Slippers you see me wearing with the outfit.  They are a perfect match!

Purr Purr Purr

The kitty-faced skin I am in today is Glam Affair’s Anais #12 applier in tone 004.  You can play for this adorable Catwa head applier, along with 19 others at The Arcade for just 75L per play.  You can’t go wrong with any of them… They are all so pretty!

Get Ready for Cookies and Cocoa

Hello there, Fabulous Readers!  Ripley and I decided to check out the Gingerbread Men and Hot Cocoa Hunt this week.  One thing I love about this hunt is if you have time to invest in searching around for the hunt object, which is a gingerbread man, you can pick up some fabulous prizes for just one little Linden dollar each.  If you are in a hurry, or if you just can’t locate the elusive cookie, you have the option to pay 25 Linden dollars and scoop up the prize.

Just Waiting for a Waltz to Begin

I guess I must have attending holiday parties on my mind, because our first discovery while hunting is this lovely formal frock from Georg Bellic Design.  The Belle Gown hugs your curves, but has a wide, sweeping hemline to make it easy to glide gracefully across the dance floor.  Its sleeveless design shows off your slender arms and its open back contrasts beautifully with the full coverage on the front.  Elegant silvery feathers scattered across the background fabric provide a glimmering accent.  The prize package includes styles for popular mesh body avatars as well as versions for classic avatars, so there is something for everyone.  A coordinating men’s outfit is also tucked inside the package.

Sizes and Mesh Body Compatibility:

• Classic Mesh in XXS, XS, S, M, and L (includes alpha layer)
• Belleza Freya, Isis and Venus
• Maitreya
• Slink Hourglass and Physique
• Tonic Curvy and Fine

We’re off to do some more exploring, and will return soon with another Fabulous Find.  Until my next post, happy hunting!
