The Magic of a Red Dress

Happy Weekend, Fab Free! I hope you are finding time to relax and take it easy. Ripley and I discovered a new-to-us store this week called Celestinas Weddings. The generous designer is currently offering this stunning outfit as a free gift to members of the Celestinas group, which is free to join. Everything I’m wearing in my photo, from the gorgeous diamond earrings to my high heels, is included in the gift, plus a really pretty bouquet to hold that I chose not to wear for my pic.

Everything for Free

Although this looks like a gorgeous gown, Valentina is actually composed of two separates – a lacy, long sleeved top and an elegant, full length, curve-hugging skirt. The crimson-hued fabric of the skirt has a slight sheen and is accented with lighter red areas which resemble drops of dew on rose petals. I love the look of the slightly flared hemline, which sweeps just above the floor. The sheer top features a scalloped edge. The two components pair beautifully together, but can also be mixed and matched with other items in your wardrobe. Large, dangling heart shaped diamond earrings and delicate gem studded heels, also tucked into the gift folder, complete the look. A bouquet of roses and babies’ breath tied with a simple red ribbon can be added to your left hand if you so desire. To pick up a copy of this free ensemble for yourself, teleport over to Celestinas Weddings, activate the group tag, and tap the vendor.

Mesh Body Compatibility:

• Belleza Freya and Isis
• Maitreya
• Slink Hourglass

Until my next post, happy shopping!

Chili Pepper

Hey FabFree, I hope you’re having a great weekend! My weekend got even better when I got to discover a “New To Me” designer with a free Group Gift. If you know Passion then you know why I’m happy to get to know them!

Lady in red

This is the ‘Inna Dress’ from Passion and it’s the February Group Gift. I was really impressed with the details and quality of the build for this dress. It’s all spot on. The Inna Dress comes in several other colors but the chili pepper red is the Group Gift.

Red and Pink

I always thought that red and pink couldn’t go together.  Wasn’t there always talk of red and pink clashing, and how if you had red hair you could never wear pink?  Looking at all the offerings right now that are swirling these two distinguished colours together with reckless abandon, I’d say that theory was completely bunk!

Taking a Bite out of Love

The Love Bites Hunt continues this week (until the 17th) and you really can find all sorts of goodies on the sim.  It may take you a bit of time and patience (and possibly some eye drops, oy veh), but boy oh boy is it worth it!  I found some really fantastic stuff – my “Cupid is Stupid” top (with such lovely long sleeves, amirite?) and cute heart-adorned skirt are by Loki and cost me 25L each and sized for Maitreya bodies, and my super sweet heart-shaped glasses are by Dazed and were 25L as well!  Can’t say no to that!

Go forth and make some bold and romantic colour choices!

Queen of Hearts

I love conversation hearts.  You know, those little pastel candies that don’t taste like anything in particular other than sugar and the colour pink.  It’s not the taste I’m after, it’s the little messages.  I still get overly amused when I find one that says “fax me” or “page me”.  Looks like the conversation heart writers are still stuck in 1994!

Love Bites

It’s time for the Love Bites Hunt!  There’s a sim full of little conversation hearts just begging for you to find them.  They are all priced from under 25 Lindens, and they are filled with goodies I just can’t get enough of.   The sim may be a little busy, but if you derender everyone and cam about it makes things just a little easier.  Today I’m showing off the offerings by Ersch, which are priced at only 1L each.  The sweater and skirt combo are delightfully quirky and give me that pink and red pop of colour that I love this time of year.  Both are sized for Maitreya bodies.  Don’t delay, the Love Bites Hunt runs until February 17th!

The real question is, who is faxing valentines!?!

My Bloody Valentine

Tis the season of love and it’s all heart eyes and sparkle stickers right now, but there are a whole boatload of people out there who want nothing to do with cupid and his arrows.  Perhaps V-day (I shall name the holiday not!) is giving you a hint of the murders right now – if so, have I got the event for you!

A Bit of Gore, a Lot of…

Well, I’ll try and be proper whilst naming this event, but there really is no way to!  If you love Gachas, but hate getting doubles, then the Gore vs. Whore event is for you!  (Phew, I said it!)  It’s a gacha-style event with all prizes located in mainstores around the grid.  You play the machine, and you won’t get a single repeat!  I played the machines over at Sweet Evil and got lots of goodies – my boots, skirt, drink, collar, and lipstick to be exact (though there are a bunch of other prizes to be won too), and then made my way over to Sn@tch to play a bit as well and I got this gory little top that goes with the look perfectly. Each pull is just 25 Lindens!  If you’re in the mood for non-repeat gachas, you can read all about Gore vs. Whore right HERE, as well as check out all the prizes available!  Just a heads up that this is indeed an adult-themed event!  Gore vs. Whore runs until February 23rd!

All the Feels

You know that whole “love at first sight” thing?  Well I’m serving straight up falling in love in high school when you see the new guy walk by for the first time right now.  I’ve got all sorts of hotness going on, and I think I may be inching toward some Valentine’s day feels right now!  Come get it!

Toxic Bish in Love

In my meanderings I found my way to Toxic Bish where I stalked the lucky boards for a while.  If you join their free group you will find loads of rotating prizes in the lucky boards, and I’m sure something there will strike your fancy.  I got the top I’m wearing from one of the boards, and the skirt is actually a group gift that I picked up from the sizable wall of free gifts that are waiting for you there!  Cute right?  You totally need to visit!

Sizes

• Hourglass
• Maitreya
• Slink
• Belleza
• XS – XL with an Alpha Layer

Heart Eyes for You

Since I’m obviously in luuuuurve, I’ve got all these swirling hearts of sweetness floating about my head.  They swirl and flash happily, denoting the fact that I’m totally twitter-pated.  I got this fun accessory over at SaNaRae as a free gift by Spartin Parx, no group join required!

Can YOU feel the love tonight?

Army Girl

In real life, Mr. Juli and I spent almost 22 years serving in the Army. So I sorta have a fondness for all things Army or red, white and blue or camo. That said, when I saw that Mowie had a dress in camo set out as a gift, I was there!

This is the ‘Aina’ dress from Mowie and it set out at the Tres Chic Event as a free gift for all of us. No group needed! I’m always so tickled when designers are just generous like this. And when the gift is this beautifully made… just wow, Thanks, Mowie! You get two versions of Aina in your gift box. One is a more jungle green and one is a desert type camo. I love them both!
