Hey hey, Fab Fam! Are ya’ll done with your Christmas shopping in good ol’ real life yet:? I went out today and daaaang the stores are chaos! But I fought my way through and got some gifts. Now I’m retreating to Second Life for some relaxation. And by that I mean… shopping!
I went and hit up the Designer’s Outlet – Discount Sale Event today and foud this super cute Christmassy but not too Christmassy outfit. This is the “Fair Isle sweater” and “Patch Bellbottoms” from Petite Mort, one of my favorite designs. There are a ton of tops and jeans to choose from and each one is only 50L. Not bad at all! Of course, if you love it the fat pack is also on sale at the event. I can see myself wearing these jeans a LOT in the coming months.
Hey There, FabFam! I know, I know, I disappeared yet again… I have a good excuse. Just as I was getting back on the routine of blogging… I got the flu! I was pretty sure I was dying or at least I wanted to die. Of course, I had to share it with the poor husband. So there was much plague on my household. I have survived but the coughing is still killin’ me. Bleh… anyway
SL has welcomed me back with one of my favorite events: The Arcade! And there are several interestig machines this round like this cozy winter cowboy set from Meva. This is the Ashton outfit in beige. It also comes in black, brown and white. I wasn’t lucky enough to pull the beige version of the comfy pullover so you get to see the white version. I love the shearling along the vest’s collar and just the overall western feel to the set. And at 75L per play it goes easy on the wallet.
Sizes Available
Legacy Classic
Maitreya + Maitreya Petite
Reborn Classic
The Arcade runs until December 31rst so you have loads of time to get that Holiday shopping in!

Well, I hear those sleigh bells jingling, and possibly ring tingle tingling too (Thank you, the Ronettes). It’s lovely weather for a… um… pick up truck ride together with you? Why not!
The Arcade
I love The Arcade, and I know I say it every time a new round comes around. I loved me some gachas, so the system the Arcade has been using now that gachas are defunct is a good replacement for that little thrill of excitement I used to get when I played. Plus, you must admit it is a bit more budget-conscious. You get to see which prize is next to come out of the machine, and it still comes with a lovely price tag. I played the Ricielli machine (you can learn all about how to play HERE) for just 75L per play, and I ended up with the rare jacket and this lovely cream coloured dress to go with. Colour me pleased. The Arcade is running until December 31st.

Ok FabFree… this post is about to get emotional. In this post, I will be talking about loss and grief so be prepared for that before reading. Last month, I lost my beloved furbaby in real life. It was heartbreaking for me, as I had an incredibly special and close bond with my cat. It really broke me in half, but I have been working through my grief. Apparently, there have been a lot of people in SL lately who have lost their cats and other pets in recent times. For those of you out there who may be going through this, just know you are not alone. I will never forget him as long as I live in both worlds and I will love him until the day I die.
Little Angels
The incredible creator Dalriada Delwood of MOoH! created a set of “ghost” kitties for those of us who have lost our cats. I thought it was so beautiful that MOoH! came out with these, as it is a lovely little reminder of my beloved little guy who I can carry with me around SL. There are a variety of types of cats available in this set. At Next Up, you can play to win an angelic cat in different colourings and breeds for only 50L per play. Just wait for the cat you want to pop up and it’s yours for a low price.
This Next Up set was made for all of us who lost our furbabies. I always feel so touched and warm when creators make things like this for us. It just provides that little bit of comfort we need in our darkest hours. I do have a few more deals and free offers to show you as well, so keep reading below.
The Whole Place is On Sale
Opulein is having an awesome sale until November 30th. The sale is marking some sort of closing- I believe Opulein is moving to a new location after the end of November so the sale marks the transition. EVERYTHING in the store is on sale for 25 Lindens. Even better, when you join their free group you save another additional 5L off each item. For 20L a piece, some may wish to buy the whole store because their makeup is simply fantastic. I bought a set of eyeshadows and lipsticks which I love dearly.

Hey hey there Fab Fam! I am certainly having a nice lazy weekend and I hope you are too! I decided to go with a pretty casual picture and post today. Luckily, Ms Aline has already done an excellent job telling us about the Next Up Shopping event in her post here. I’m just following up with a couple more gifts I thought were cute. Did I mention this Blog runs on Aline’s awesome-ness? 😉
My first up freebie is this oh so cute top! This is the “Kamila” top and sleeves from Fatal Fashion. The sleeves are both separate pieces so you can go with just the top. You also get a HUD for three designs for the top all on this soft beige.
Sizes Included
Altamura
eBody Reborn
Belleza – Freya, Isis
Kalhene – Erika
Kupra + Kups
Legacy – Classic , Perky
Maitreya + Petite
SLink – Hourglass, Physique
Tonic -Curvy
My other free score is a bit harder to see but it’s a lovely gift. I’m wearing the “Pumpkin Spice eyeshadow” from Demicorn. I am in love with this eyeshadow set. There are 9 colors plus a liner in the gift. Some of them are very soft natural looking and some are a bit more outrageous. They all come in BOM for the EvoX Lelutka heads.
The Next Up Shopping Event runs until November 30th so you got loads of time to hurry over!

I was going to offer you a drink, but it seems that I’ve decided to keep it for myself. Come, I’ll tell you where you can get your own…as well as a whole lot of other pretty things!
Firstly though, we should address the elephant in the room. There was an accident…with a blender? So you probably don’t want this drink that I’m holding anyway. Or maybe I should just say that a vicious wolf attacked me in my youth. Yes, let’s go with that. Way more believable than the blender thing.
Healing
I love adding little imperfections to my looks. In a world where everything can be perfect, what fun is it to be perfect? Or at least that’s my warped logic. Regardless, this time of year is great for me because things pop up on the grid for Halloween that I can wear all year long! My goodness, will she ever get to the point? Yes, here it is now… Izzie’s set out a fantastic free gift at their mainstore. It’s right up front on the counter and it’s “Free Lelutka Evo X Updates.” Inside is 4 separate gifts. I’m wearing the gloom eyeshadow which comes in a whole lot of opacities and a whole lot of colors and the aged claw scars across my eye in various stages of healing. There’s also a wicked looking bloody claw wound in a handful of options and an entire set of aged scars that is so incredible. The box is there freeand no group join is required.
Sipping and Sexy
I also went and visited The Arcade. This is such a fun event and there are so many great designers participating. I picked up My lingerie set by Dhoma. I just happened to get lucky and the next two items when I was there were the corset and garter, both in Ivory. I purchased them for the Maitreya body but there were others available, too. I grabbed my drink at The Arcade as well. It’s by ChicChica and I’ve been carrying it around the grid with me for days. The attentive reader may have noticed that Aline had a similar one very recently. Did I covet hers and was unable to resist getting one of my own? Did I forget that she’d already shown a similar drink? There’s no way of knowing. But hey, after you grab yours we can be margarita triplets! All the items that I picked up at The Arcade were 75L per pull and you have till Friday (9/30) before this round ends.

Fall is my favourite decorating season. I put up a little autumn gallery made up of art I picked up at the Fall Festival, a fall-themed event that is running until October 1st at Malus Park. I have a couple of 50L pieces and a free painting to show you from this event, so check out the following designer’s booths to get these fall art pieces for a fabulous price!
The painting with the woman and the fall leaves is a free gift from Katharine Littlepaws Art Gallery.
The “Pumpkin Season” framed artwork is 50L from Cotton Blossom Artwork.
The “Fall is my Favorite Color” framed poster is also 50L, and you will also find this art work in Cotton Blossom Artwork’s booth.
On Me
My outfit is a freelucky board prize at Shanti. No group join is required to play the boards. This prize is called the “Upside Down Bohemian Outfit”. This is a Stranger Things reference for all the fans of the popular supernatural 80’s-era Netflix series. The set includes a top and skirt which can be worn separately. The outfit is textured with a black and white pattern which looks perfect for Halloween coming up! It fits Freya, Isis, Venus, Ebody Classic, Lara, Physique, Legacy, and Tonic Curvy & Fine.
The choker and earrings I am wearing are from The Arcade, and they are 50L per play from Heartsdale Jewellery. You can see a key below of all the pretty prizes available. There are 12 pieces of jewelry from this designer to collect at the September round of The Arcade, which is available to play until September 30th. If you need more information about how The Arcade works, please read Aline’s recent post here which explains it much better than I can!
Enjoy the show, FabFree!

Oh, look the pink-loving side of me has come out to play again! It’s time to get girly, feel cute and win a bunch of prizes… It’s time for The Arcade!
Yum
When the gacha ban came into effect just over a year ago, I was pretty bummed. I loved playing the machines and getting fun prizes. I understand that I played with considerable restraint (1 or 2 pulls per machine for the most part), and for some it became a bit of a problem. So, I get it. But… I missed that fun. I’m glad that The Arcade found a way to continue that fun while making the process a bit more transparent. To play these machines, just attach the HUD and connect to any machine at the event, and you’ll see which items are up for grab next, so you can decide if it’s for you or not. Here’s what I played for and won:
75L top and skirt by NINI Planet sized for Maitreya, Legacy & eBody
75L Margarita by ChicChica
50L Bracelet by Schelm (it says “Ti Amo” on it… so good)
You can peep all the lovely offerings at the official Arcade website HERE, and you’ve got until September 30th to visit!

I’ve been delving into the world of geneology in my real life. Fascinating stuff, really. Especially for a girl who was adopted and never knew her heritage growing up. Turns out I am mostly British, Irish and Scottish (DNA), which may explain my love of castles. Speaking of castles, check out my new buddy. He may look scary but he is really just one of those gargoyles from Notre Dame voiced by Jason Alexander (You know, George from Seinfeld). He says “Ooh La La“. Still, you don’t meet a guy like him every day.
Ok for reals, this is another of those amazing pose props from Le Poppycock (75L a play Nextup!). I tell ya’ she has got some mighty fun stuff.
My dress is a group gift from UNA that comes in a fatpack of colors as a free group gift. The group there is 50L to join but she has a plethora of goodies for you on the wall for your small join fee. This dress fits:
Maitreya

Heyo Fabbies and happy weekend! Or should I say Salut! Ca va?
I hope you are all enjoying a wonderful spring weekend. I am out here just sipping some wine on the French Riviera where the Bohemian style is all the rage right now. In fact, it is all the rage throughout Europe! Just colors and frills and fun sexy outfits! I think with all the war and pandemic and everything else, the mood of peace and love so exemplified by the Hippies back in the 60’s and since then is on everyone’s mind. Mind? I don’t mind, it’s my preferred style, bohemian gal that I am! So when I saw the Saturday Sale and Belle Epoque, well, I just had to run down and grab it. I want to be in style while I sip my wine like a fashionista!
The Saturday Sale
This is a bit time sensitive, so if you love this outfit and want to see all the colors it comes in for only 75L per color, you will need to hit Belle Epoque today. I’m not sure how long they keep their Saturday Sales up for. This outfit fits Maitreya and Legacy only but gosh all the colors are stunning. I had a difficult time trying to choose and finally went with my signature pink. I can’t go wrong with pink… ever. lol
No group is needed to get the sale price, so run on over and style up! I’m *so* glad I saw this and grabbed it. I am absolutely in love!
My table, chair and wine (and pose) are another 75L Nextup from Le Poppycock. I love that I can wear the props and they pose me and so I have no need to rez, so I can use them anyplace (like I did! lol)!
