Black Shift

Hey, Fab Free! It’s the weekend finally and you know what that means… Event time! I love shopping the events, seeing the best things the designers have to show us and especially the gifts! Like Ms Aline showed us here, the SL Mesh Body event is going strong and there are tons of free gifts for us this round. Not only are there gifts, but the gifts this time are really really awesome! I had a hard time picking just one… so I didn’t. I made you a full outfit for free!

My top is the “Jasmine Tank” from ViVi. Do you like beautiful details? Then this is the top for you. The fabric is covered in little white vines and the texture is spot on. I do love it when the SL clothes look so real!

Sizes Included

  • eBody Reborn
  • Legacy + Perky/Petite
  • Maitreya + Petite
  • Prima Busty + Petite

My hip hugging leggings are from Tastic and you get an entire fatpack of them for this free gift. The “Gianna” leggings come with a HUD for 12 colors. Of course the basics black white red, etc. but also some really nifty unusual colors too! A great addition to the closet.

Sizes Included

  • Belleza – Freya, Isis, Venus
  • BBL
  • eBody Reborn
  • GenX – Classic, Curvy
  • Kalhene Erika
  • Kupra
  • Legacy
  • Maitreya
  • SLink – Hourglass, Physique 

My shoes are from a new to me designer – Jupiter Boutique. The “Palomma” heels say they are black but I think they have a silvery sheen to them. One of those colors that look different depending on the light where you wear them. Black or shiny they are lovely heels.

Sizes Included

  • Belleza
  • Maitreya
  • SLink

Even my so cool sunglasses are part of the freebies from the SL Mesh Body Event. The “Elii” sunglasses from Radex Design will keep you cool and mysterious on the brightest of days. You’ll get a HUD with 4 lens colors, 4 metallic design colors and 8 frame colors. 

The SL Mesh Body Event runs until June 4th and that’s coming up quicker than you think. So hurry over and shop the event and grab your gifts!

Lazy Carnival Sunday

Carnival Time

There is a new “event” that is being advertised called Lazy Sunday, it’s a list of items for sale on Marketplace.  The prices range from 50L to 75L and the sale last for 5 days, perfect for those times when you just want to be lazy and not go to the store.  This current listing is good until 5/25.

I grabbed up this outfit from Fake Society for a total of 225L (75L for each piece) which is a pretty good deal for a complete outfit.  You can find the gallery of items here.

I am showing off my outfit here at the carnival in Bellissera, it’s a great build with lots of games and prizes.

Marketplace Haul #2

Running Errands

Isn’t this how you look when your at the grocery store? I mean if you grew up watching “What Not to Wear” you know that you should not wear sweatpants to the grocery store…LOL, as if.

I wanted to show you another Marketplace Haul, starting with these super cute pink cropped slacks from Coco that are free, they have a step hem that makes them very unique, I paired it with a blouse from FLRN Design, of course I love floral and the polka dots add a whimsy element to this outfit.  The blouse has the old mesh size options (not rigged) however the alpha layer that comes with it works great if your using BOM on your body.

To finish the look I found the pumps from La Perla, the checkered pattern is a bit unexpected but I love how it all turned out for only 11L!

On the Road

On the Road

Good afternoon, FabFree Readers. It always fascinates me that there are so many different visions for SIM designers on display on the Grid. One can find one’s self on a busy street corner in a vibrant city one minute and lost down some backwater road the next. Of course the trick is to always have the correct outfit on hand to fit one’s next location. So today I’ve gone from a sharp suit to something much more casual.

This is the “Anderson” outfit from Varsity, a designer I had thought was only for our ladies. But I have since discovered a generous offering of men’s wear here as well as a very generous set of men’s free Group gifts. The group is free to join another plus. Now, ‘Anderson’ comes with the tank and the trousers as separate pieces and a HUD to choose one of 8 colors for the top and 8 colors for the pants. It’s a find I am rather pleased with as gifts of a full fatpack are few and far between!

Sizes Included

  • Belleza Jake
  • Legacy – Athletic, Male

  • Mesh Head – LeLutka – Andrea
  • Mesh Body and Hands – Belleza Jake
  • Skin – StrayDog – Breno for LeLutka Andrea Tone 6
  • Eyes – Ikon – Hope Eyes in Field

  • Glasses – Since 1975 – Slimline Glasses

I Want You To Know

I Want You To KnowI’m wandering the streets at night, all for the freebies! Somebody’s gotta do it.

In The Dark

I guess I should no longer claim to hate hunting. I’m still awful at it, don’t get me wrong, but I’m also clearly not averse to going on a hunt. Case in point, besides all the Easter hunting that I’ve done recently, the Hunting In The Dark Hunt that I partook in recently at V8 Underground. There are 20 prizes scattered about. Each contains a complete outfit including shoes and will only set you back a cool 10L. You’ll find some hunt info at the landing point, including a list of hints and an example of the little statue guy that you’re hunting for. I’m wearing this fun and sexy burlesque-esque (how’s that for a made up word?) outfit that comes with the top, shorts, and boots all as separate pieces! I’m a big fan of when creators do that. It is prize #4 on the hunt and is totally worth 10L. The hunt at V8 Underground is currently underway and will last until May 12.

Sizes:

  • Kupra
  • Legacy
  • Maitreya
  • Reborn

Some Things Never Change

I did some weekend sale shopping and I picked up new hair. Some things never change, indeed. I quite love this super cute bob…or maybe it’s an inverted bob. Either way it’s cute cute cute with the short sassy layers and those perfect little clumps over the eyes that would drive me insane in RL but I love so much in SL. Anyway, the hair is from Wasabi and only 60L this weekend for Happy Weekend. It comes with an impressive array of color options and a flower decoration on the side that I currently have turned off. This was only supposed to be available for the weekend but as of now it’s still there at the discounted price. Better hurry!

Taking My Own Advice

Lastly, I’ve taken my own advice from this post and am wearing another of the group gifts from Chain. They are honestly all just so nice. This necklace is called Loren and it has a HUD that lets you turn each of the three necklaces off or on and provides some metal colors to choose from too. It comes rigged for Legacy, Maitreya, and Unrigged. So I guess this is just another reminder from me that Chain has a wall of really great free group gifts and the group is only 50L to join.

Wanna Feel Sexy?

Telsiope 4-22-2023_001

Hello dear readers.  Today I have news of a new release from one of our FabFree designers plus a MM prize you can get without a group tag. This is a short and sweet post. Telsiope’s Couture designer, Sitlan Breil, always surprises me with great designs. The textures are always fresh and you can’t beat the prices. The Cristina top and pants are sold separately for the price of $99L each. As you can see in the picture the cut-out pants are tres sexy. There are ties that hang off the pants (they hold the pants up!). Cristina’s top is a crossed halter design and has small buttons as accents on the front. You will find three texture change huds with oodles of colors in each package.

Sizes

    • Belleza X Classy & Curvy
    • Legacy
    • Maitreya
    • Reborn

I would be remiss if I didn’t mention my ultra high heels. And I got them without spending any $L! All you have to do is join the Essential Inventory Updates group for free

Telsiope Naomi 4-22-2023_001

What’s that you said?? Of course there are a number of gifts for various groups, a MM board, and a booty sit n’ win. I found this lovely swimsuit on sale for $50L. You’ll find the discount vendor on the third floor along with the aforementioned MM board, gifts, etc. It’s worth a climb up those steps. So slap that MM board to make it hit the target and pick up this awesome bathing suit that comes with a hud containing 16 textures. I think one of the reasons I love the clothing from Telsiope’s Couture is partly because I love the textures.

Sizes

  • Altamura
  • Belleza Freya & Isis
  • Ebody Curvy
  • Kupra Original, Bimbo, & Low
  • Legacy (includes Perky)
  • Maitreya

Suited

Suited

Good afternoon, FabFree Readers. I know Juli usually posts some snippet of our life or a bit of shopping lore. But I have no such skill other than to say my post is a time limited option so take note.

This is the “Kevin” outfit from a New-to-Me designer – R Way. The suit comes as 2 pieces: the pants and the jacket/sweater with a HUD to choose one of 10 colors for the sweater. Each piece is 60L as part of the 60L Happy weekend sale. There are several colors of suit to pick from for the sale price and of course a fatpack for the regular price. The weekend sale officially runs until midnight tonight SLT but some designer do leave it up longer. However, I don’t recommend waiting around too long.

  • Athletic
  • Belleza Jake
  • Davis
  • Kario Fit
  • Legacy M

The Big Apple

The Big Apple

I’m in New York!  Doing New York things!  Yay!  In all seriousness, I do happen to love the Big Apple very much.  There’s something about those deep urban canyons and massive parks and incessant honking that just make me happy.  Well, maybe not the honking part, but the rest of it…yes!  I really have been having a great time exploring the Wandering New York sim which lets me visit NYC when I can’t get there in RL.

Buzzing with Excitement

It’s been a while since we visited the Lucky Boards at Bumblebee here at FabFree, and I heard people discussing them in group chat recently, so thought they might be worth a revisit.  The group is free to join (plus you get a 300L gift card as a gift when you join), and the lucky boards are packed full of really cool classic items, like jeans, leggings, tanks tops and sweaters.  They move pretty quick too, which always makes me happy.  I left with a bunch of great staples for my wardrobe, and I’m sure you will too!

Sizes

  • Freya
  • Isis
  • Legacy
  • Maitreya
  • Hourglass
  • Physique

I heart NYC!
