Halloween Memories: Trick or Treat?

When I was a kid, my favourite part of Halloween was decorating our front lawn with my Mom. The day she brought home a huge inflatable pumpkin was one of the best memories I had as a child! I was so excited. Now I have an epic inflatable pumpkin for my garden here in SL and some other great Halloween decor which I have set up for the night of trick or treating on the 31st. My house is definitely ready for the big night now. 

Here are the details about the free decor items shown in my post today:

• The pumpkin inflatable is a free gift at Apple Fall. Look for it in the store. It’s in one of the rooms and it costs 0L, no group required. 
• The cute little orange pots are the latest free subscriber gift at Noveny! Just click the subscriber and they’re yours. If it doesn’t work for you at first, just un-subscribe an re-subsribe to get the gift. 
• The little cauldron at my feet gives out “tricks” or treats- like candy and other goodies to all your guests and trick-or-treaters. The cute alien lollipop I am holding is from the cauldron! The cauldron is free at Junk Food and no group is required to get this amazing gift. 

A Look to Match!

The other thing I want to share tonight is this absolutely adorable outfit that will match all your new cute Halloween decor. My top and skirt is one of the free gifts from [QE Designs] at their booth at the Halloween Shop & Hop. This set comes in three cute Halloween texture patterns that can be changed via a HUD. [QE Designs] has several other gifts included in their giftbox at the event in addition to this set, so enjoy all of their lovely free goodies!

Sizes Included

• Belleza Freya & Isis
• Maitreya Lara
• Legacy
• Hourglass

Have fun getting ready for Halloween, FabFree!

Fabulously Fan(Tastic)

Hey Fab Free! I am hanging outside the Fabulously Free in Second Life Info Hub! There’s been a lot of talk about all the free gifts and sales we have over here by Jacx here and Arielle here, but I was admiring the beautiful Halloween decorating at the Hub! It provided the perfect backdrop to show off these cozy fall looks I created. 

Funny, Fan(Tastic) Sweatshirts

Have you all been to Tastic? They have the funniest shirts with amazing sarcastic sayings on them. On the left, the sweatshirt says, “I’ve been ready for Halloween since last Halloween” which is literally true for me. Halloween is my favourite time of the year in SL! This sweater costs only 1 Linden on the Harmony Hunt at Tastic.

The other sweater I am wearing on the right says “Resting Witch Face”. This is not a gift, but it is more in the spirit of the hilarious products Tastic is known for. I have been known from time to time to give that face when I’m not in a good mood. They have lots of other goodies and freebies at Tastic so make sure you check the store out!

Sizes Included 

• Freya
• Isis
• Venus
• Physique
• Hourglass
• Maitreya Lara
• Maitreya Petite
• Tonic Fine/Curvy
• Legacy
• eBody Classic/Curvy
• Classic Fitmesh

Shoes with Stockings on Sale!

I am enjoying wearing lots of cozy stockings and cute shoes this fall season. I am fashioning some here. 

• On the left are a pair of black boots with cat-themed stockings. The stockings come in plain, polka dot and striped black, grey, red and pink versions. These are sized for Maitreya, Physique, Hourglass, Isis and Freya. I purchased these at MOoH! with the October gift card worth 150 Linden for group members. MOoH!‘s VIP group currently costs 100 Linden to join, and the boots and stockings are on sale for 50% for VIP members until October 28th.
• On the right are the “Skelly Socks With Shoes” by ~MystRie~. These are available for 5 Linden on the Haunted Hunt at Malus Park. These are sized for Maitreya, Physique, Hourglass, Legacy, Isis, Venus and Freya. You are looking for a blue pumpkin on the sim to find these!

The Cutest Jean Skirt

The adorable skirt I am wearing in my two looks is a free gift at Free Dove at the Tastic booth. The skirt includes several texture denim patterns and it’s a must-have item! This skirt could be mixed and matched with many outfits. I am showing two textures of the skirt here, but there are more in the texture changer hud included with the freebie.  

Sizes Included

• Kupra
• Freya
• Isis
• Venus

Today is this beautiful party perfect gown from Lurve. This is the “Forever Loved” gown in the special Halloween colors. Just look at the stunning work on the lace shawl! It’s outstanding! And the gown itself is equally gorgeous. I’m ready for the fanciest Halloween party SL can throw at me!

I added another Shop & Hop gift to my look tonight. My jewelry is from Zuri and t’s their free gift for us. The ” Lady Skull Fire Opal” choker and earrings couldn’t compliment this dress more if they tried. Both the choker and earrings are resizable and there is a ‘bling’ feature if you want to sparkle.

My seductive pose is yet another free gift at the Shop & Hop. This is “Nezuko” from Fashiowl and it’s one of three gifts in their present. Two of the gifts are full fatpacks of poses and props and one is a single pose with Halloween props. I just love adding to my pose collection!

Pink and Spooky

Hallowe’en sure does have a surfeit of black, orange and spooky all over, but if you know where to look, you can also find a bit of pink and pretty too!  So grab your frillies and clutch your pearls, cuz we’re going on a spooky walk!

A Break from Beaudelaire

I’m feeling a bit collegiate today.  Perhaps the changing leaves are bringing me back to days spent in the quad with piles of books and a mug of Earl Grey tea, the library not too far off as I delved into tomes of Beaudelaire and Dante.  I think that this precise moment is the one where you have had just about enough of deciphering the depths of literature, and you just need to let go for a little while.  I think that moment came pretty often for me!

500 is an Excellent Sum

Blueberry are at it again!  This time, they’re showering their group members with 500L in store credit.  How nice is that?  You can use it to buy anything you like in the store, and the entire store is 50% off until the 14th.  I picked up the Blessed jacket, skirt and top which were just 125L each, leaving me a bit of coin left over for something else.  You can get your own store credit by joining the Blueberry group for 20L, then peeking in group notices.  Once you add the HUD and click, the store credit will be added to your account and you can buy what you like in store.   Yay!

Badly Kept Secrets

It’s not a huge secret, but sometimes you have to pass on the news to your friends anyway!  That’s what we love doing here at FabFree – finding the scoop and sharing it far and wide.  Let’s get to the goodies!

Happy Anniversary!

ViSion is celebrating their anniversary with 400L in store credit for members of their group!  That’s pretty nice of them, don’t you think?  To take part in this awesomeness, just join the ViSion group for 18L, then click on the poster in the entrance.  With my 400L, I picked up the Eva jacket, bodysuit and skirt which only cost 125L each, leaving me a bit left over for later (The store is also currently 50% off!).  Don’t wait too long though, because this store credit will expire on October 24th.

In our town of Halloween!

Hey Fab Crew! If you haven’t suspected by now… I LOVE Halloween. I always decorate the house, wear “appropriate” clothing ( read here loads of black cats and bats and pumpkins) and my Second Life is no different! Thanks heavens for the Shop and Hop with it’s Halloween theme, right?!

So I went from scary to merry for today’s post. Starting with my ‘batty’ new dress. This is the “Halloween Dress” from Korpokkur House and it’s yours for FREE at the Shop and Hop. I love all the little bats on the top. The dress is one piece and is really well made. Perfect for those more casual Halloween parties or just shopping the Grid.

Sizes Included

• Maitreya Petite

My cutie pumpkin earring are Elemental’s free Shop & Hop gift. As with all of Elemental’s work the build if perfect and the shine is so sparkly! Jack O’ Lantern? No! Jack O’ Earrings!

Last on my list of great free gifties are these black cat pumps from Lindy’s Modern and Retro Shoes. “Blair Black Cat” are sooo cute! Of course, I have a thing for black cats so I may be biased.*

… in a place, that perhaps you’ve seen in your dreams…

Well, hello there, FabFree. I want you to know… I resisted for as long as I could. But the Spooky Season is upon us. And I must embrace it! Especially when I find such wonderful spooky things at the Shop and Hop.

My gorgeous get up is “Morgana” from Malified. Now this is a new to me designer but I am so impressed! All the things in their Shop booth look just as awesome as this ensemble, I had a hard time not emptying my wallet right there! I’m glad I took the time to look around because there were several other free gifts scattered around to find. Morgana comes with everything you need even the shoes and stockings!

Sizes Included

• Maitreya

Then I found the perfect accessory to complete my look. This horned crown, called ‘Bella Donna’, is from Narcisse and it’s their free gift. You can change the size and position as well as change the color of the roses and the pearls. It looks like it was just made for me!

The Halloween Shop and Hop runs until October 31st so you have plenty of time to explore it all!
