Sweet April Showers

Happy Friday, Fabulouses!  While out on our evening jaunt that I mentioned in my last post, the pupster and I decided to check out the April Showers Hunt.  I am so glad we did because over at C!L Boutique, we discovered a gorgeous gown in a lovely soft teal shade, called “rain.”  Let me tell you, this stunner is well worth the small 1L price!

Ready for Dancing in the Rain

With an empire waist and a full length skirt, this frock will have you ready for formal events.  The bodice features a whimsical spiral design which draws the eyes upward to your bare shoulders.  If the evening is chilly or April showers begin to fall, don’t worry, because the generous designer tucked a cloak and a Victorian style umbrella into the package to shield you from the elements.  I opted not to wear them for my photo, but they add a vintage appeal to the outfit.   Also included (but not worn for my picture) a sheer veil can be worn over the skirt, which is quite pretty.  With classic and mesh body versions, this dollarbie hunt prize is a perfect addition to any girl’s wardrobe.  The April Showers Hunt runs until April 30th, and offers a myriad of prizes, all for 1L.

Sizes and Mesh Body Compatibility:

• Mesh in XS, S, M, L, XL (includes alpha layer for classic avatars)
• Belleza Freya, Isis, and Venus
• Maitreya
• Slink Hourglass and Physique

Until my next post, happy hunting!

Do You Remember?

Do you remember drive in movie theatres? Those were the best. If I could pick one retro bit of nostalgia to have a comeback, that would be it.

In my blog post today I am here to tell you where to get this smokin hot leather jacket /blouse combo for next to nothing!

RICIELLI, Of Course!

Ricielli is where you can find the Kirsten Jacket w/ Blouse for 15L as #1 in their instore Easter Hunt.  There are 20 hidden easter egg hunt icons hidden in the store all clearly marked by name (and not very tricky to find!!).

I have included the prize preview below so that you can see the prizes before you pick up the eggs, and an example of the hunt icon you seek!  I love hunts like this with prize previews, especially if there is a small fee because then you are not wasting your time looking for prizes you aren’t interested in and have only paid for the eggs you want! (I wanted almost all of them – they are fantastic lol)

Peace, Love & Camping

Good morning Fabulous Readers!  I just have to say that Second Life camping is so much more comfortable than Real Life camping. When I arrived to my site today, it was all set up.  My bed was made, the campfire was lit – even my camera was set out and ready to shoot some wildlife photos.  I swear sometimes camping in Real Life is simply setting up half the weekend and then dismantling it all for the rest of the weekend.  Next time, I think I’ll try my RL luck at The Holiday Inn, so I can log in here and get a comfortable camping fix.

Need a free spirited adventure of your own?

Getting dressed for one, is the first step!  You’ll need to take a trip to HashTag to pick up these Ripped Capri Dungarees (fitted for Maitreya Mesh Bodies) as a free group gift (free group join too!), and then head over to Loordes of London and hunt down a black rose hunt icon for the Glam or Grunge Hunt.  Once you find it – pay 1L and you’ll have the Right To Be Free top and vest combo.  It’s not super easy to see in my photo as my pose is a little hunched over, but the vest is decorated with all kinds of cool wild child things like buttons,etc.  This hunt runs until the end of the month.

Sizes Included:

• 5 Standard Sizes + Alpha Layer
• Slink Physique & Hourglass
• Belleza Isis, Freya & Venus

Chasin’ The March Hare and Avoiding That Evil Bunny

Hello there, Fabulous Readers!  Just a quick mid-week post to share with you a complete outfit (minus the shoes) that you can pick up at REA as a hunt prize in the Mad as a March Hare Hunt.  The studded jacket, trousers, and even a white top are included, but I opted to go without the t-shirt.  Also tucked inside the prize package is an evil bunny in a chick costume that perches on your shoulder.  Don’t tell him I said so, but that little critter scared Ripley so much that I quickly shoved it back inside the box.  The poor guy was hiding behind Loki the cat, whining and shaking.  Some big, tough German Shepherd, eh?

What’s Included:

• Evil Bunny Shoulder Pet (not shown)
• Bunny Headband (not shown)
• Shannon Jacket (with t-shirt) in S, M, L and Fitmesh (not shown)
• Shannon Open Jacket in S, M, L, and Fitmesh (shown in picture)
• Jeans in XS, S, M, L, XL
• Alpha layers for both jacket versions and pants

You get all this for just 1 Linden dollar when  you locate the hunt icon – a sitting rabbit.  It’s pretty well hidden in the store, but with the pupster’s assistance, and some careful searching, we finally found it.  The hunt runs until March 31st, so you still have some time left to do some sleuthing and grab a copy for yourself.

Happy hunting!

Simply Irresistible

I’m having another one of those flashbacks to the 80’s.  This time it’s the “Addicted to Love” video by Robert Palmer.  You know, the girls with the short hair, the super red lips and legs that stretch into next week.  I came up with my own version with some great group gifts!

Cranking it Up

I wandered about, as I usually do, and found my way to Cranked.  There I came upon a wall of free group gifts, one of which was this little cropped jacket which I think I really could wear with loads of different things.  I highly enjoy the buckles, and the fact that it also comes with an HUD with several different colour options!  You can grab this jacket (as well as a bunch of other gifts) just by clicking on the vendor and paying 0L – no group join required!

Sizes

• XXS – L With an Alpha
• Physique

The Body Electric

My ever-growing collection of bodysuits was rather pleased when I came upon this group gift at MMC.  They have a whole bunch of exceedingly well-priced pieces of lingerie!  This one comes with an applier for Maitreya, Belleza, Slink and Omega.  I joined the group for 1L, then paid the vendor 1L for the gift – I’d say 2L is a great deal for this pretty outfit!

Ok, I’m going back to my music videos again – I think I’ve got to perfect the blank looks from the Robert Palmer one!

Just Another Rainy Day

“We’re almost out of dog food,” she sighed.  “Would you be a good sport and run out to pick some up?”  Since she was making home made chicken noodle soup (from scratch), and the big guy stared at me with pleading chocolate brown eyes, what else could I do?  A man and his pal (ok, ok HER pal) have got to eat!  I suddenly found myself trudging through the downpour on my way to the pet food warehouse.  Not how I planned to spend my Sunday morning, but I can’t resist either one of them!

That Turned Up Collar

Lucky for me, I had the new Stand Collar Jacket from Gabriel to protect me from the downpour.  Its thick fabric repelled the deluge, while its large collar prevented the rain from soaking into my shirt.  With sturdy buckles, a generous cut, and full length sleeves, there is no way that damp wind is going to work its way through.  Right now, this overcoat is available for just 1L in three shades (dark blue, dark olive and the dark gray I am wearing), and also includes an alpha layer, and a shoulder bag.  That should keep Ripley’s food nice and dry while I brave my way through the storm.  I’m not sure how long this special offer will last, so I’d recommend a quick tp to the shop soon if you’d like a copy for yourself.  She keeps writing about warm spring days, but I’m here to tell you, they aren’t all filled with sunshine.  A jacket comes in mighty handy on days like today.

Happiness is Homemade Soup

With mission “Dog Food” accomplished, I’m on my way back home, looking forward to savoring a steaming bowl of her secret family recipe.  If you ask, she might have some leftovers to share…

~ Stan  

P.S. – Really, it’s just Kat wishing she had someone to go out in the freezing rain to pick up dog food… but I *do* have some home made chicken noodle soup for anyone who’s willing…  🙂

Trick or Treat?  What?

Hey Fabulouses!  Do you have some lindens burning a hole in your pocket?  You won’t need much…  Back in the busy season of November, Kat blogged about a The 2017 Halloween Hunt that Ricielli was hosting and she showed you a couple of the 20 prizes that you can pick up for just 15L each. I didn’t have time to stop in then, but now that things are much slower for me inworld, I took some time to visit today and they are STILL AVAILABLE! I went a little crazy and picked up several of them.  May I just say…  These are top quality items and fit like a glove to my Maitreya Lara mesh body.  I know you guys like to see me showing free stuff here on the FabFree Blog, but these babies are well worth the little bit they will set you back, and more!

What pieces am I showing off today?

You can see me wearing #5 which is the Gigi Blazer and Undershirt in forest and #13 which is a pair of leather leggings in black.  All dressed by Ricielli today for just 30L!  Go get them before they are gone!
