You Can Never Hold Back Spring

Spring has sprung in my neck of the woods!  Now, if we could only get some of those April showers, we’ll be in business.  In RL it’s dry as a bone, but thankfully, you can always find a beautiful spring setting in SL.

Enjoy today

That’s what my shirt is telling me to do, so who am I to ignore it? 😉  I am enjoying my day though, because I’ve got a fresh new outfit to wear, and it was totally free!

Vagrant (and Zerkalo) are having a massive spring sale where everything in the store is 50% off.  In addition, they are also giving away 300L of free store credit to group members.  The group is free to join.  I bought items from 2 different sets today, and I spent exactly 300L.  I’m wearing the Jennifer top and the Ruby shorts from Vagrant.  I bought the fatpack of each, in my body size, for 150L each.  Sweet!  Each one of these separates comes sized for:

• Lara X
• Legacy/Perky
• Reborn

The sale and credit are available through March 10th, don’t sleep on this one!

As an added bonus, the lucky boards at *Tentacio* have actually changed again!  I won the ‘More flowers day’ pack on the board, and the bouquet I’m holding is one piece of that.  No group is needed to win, the 4 prizes are completely free as soon as your letter comes up!

Peace

Keep Everything Under Your Hat

Well, if it isn’t already almost a week into March, this year is flying by so far!  I’ve got a free dress in a gorgeous shade of green I thought would be perfect for a blog this month.

Fancy

I don’t think there’s any dressing down of this gift, only dressing up, so I donned a fancy headpiece and went somewhere nice.  My dress is a gift for the SLF&O group at Viona.  It’s on the gift wall under some hover text that says SLF&O but the picture of the gift doesn’t show.  The SLF&O group is free to join, so once you’re wearing the tag, click the grey vendor and the Scarlet Dress should drop into your inventory in a folder that says ‘SLF&O group joiner’.  It’s this lovely shade of ‘water green’ and you can wear it with or without the glove and the additional shine.  It comes sized for:

• Gen X Classic/Curvy
• Erika
• Kupra
• Legacy
• Maitreya/Petite/Lara X/Petite X
• Reborn/Waifu

Happy shopping!

Peace

Lucky Girl

Hello Fabulous Readers!  I have a quick post for you tonight featuring two free items that I think you’ll like.

Do Notte Feede The Kraken!

At the Graffitiwear store, I was determined to add the free Flowery Fun Top to my wardrobe.  The only problem?  I had to tangle with a pesky sea monster to get her.  Gus whined and tried to discourage me, but my mind was made up.  Time after time, I plunged in, only to be disappointed by a rotten apple or a smelly old fish.  Persistence paid off.  Most of the time, the Kraken wins, but sometimes Wren wins!  This flirty crop top features a dark background scattered with pink blossoms, ideal for welcoming in sun-drenched spring days.  Slender straps criss-cross at the neckline and add visual interest.  My favorite detail is the softly ruffled, cropped hemline.  I can almost see it stirring gently in the breeze.  The prize includes a HUD packed with 16 textures, so it’s like getting a whole collection of tops in one.  To pick up a free copy for yourself, you must be a member of the Graffitiwear group, which has a 25L$ join fee.

Mesh Body Compatibility:

• Freya
• Hourglass
• Isis
• Maitreya
• Physique
• Tonic Curvy and Fine
• Venu

Hoop There it Is

My Lala Links Earrings from Shelly Designs add a striking touch to my outfit and bring the right amount of shimmer.   These baubles feature two intersecting circles suspended within a large hoop.  They are crafted from a metal with a soft golden sheen that catches the light beautifully.  They hang just below the jawline and sway gently with movement.  Best of all, they are a free gift for members of the Fabulously Free in SL group, which is free to join.  I’ve included a close-up below so you can see them better:

Together with a budget-friendly pair of capris and a hairstyle gift, these fab items will have you set for warm-weather adventures.  Until our next post, happy shopping!

The Dress Looks Nice On You

Morning Fabs!

I just happened upon this gift, so I have no idea how long it’s been there or will continue to be, so if you want it, the time to go is as soon as you finish reading this post!

Natural glamor

I was at FlowerDreams the other day and noticed they had a 500L gift card available for their group members.  Yep, the group is free, so I snatched that up, attached it, added it to my store credit, and I went shopping! (You can find it on a sign just outside of the gifts building).

I really love her flowy part flexi gowns, but I don’t have the occasion in world to wear them often, so I went shopping in the casual building.  I chose the Diane dress, and it was 300L for the fatpack, which made it free with the 500L credit!  Now the fatpack is all very slight shades of pastels, they are very light.  This dress is pink, but in some lights it’s difficult to tell.  I also thought the sleeves were thoughtful, you can change them between 8 different patterns of lace or you can keep them solid like the dress.  It comes rigged for:

• Gen X Classic/Curvy
• Lara X
• Legacy
• Reborn/Waifu

We’re in a new month, so I have no idea if this was a February gift or not, so pop over as soon as you read this to get it.

Peace

The Jean Genie

OK Fabs, admittedly this song/blog title has nothing to do with the David Bowie lyrics, as they are a good bit psychedelic, but I had to pick this song title, because I’m in denim and I’m wearing hair that looks like I’m from the old show ‘I Dream of Jeannie’. lol

Box of random

First let’s talk about my dress.  It’s the Florya Dress, and it’s a group gift from Dark Cat.  It’s a fatpack and has a bunch of solid and patterned textures in the hud.  It’s located on the group gift wall (it’s a caspervend scroll thing so scroll if you don’t see it).  The Dark Cat group is 10L to join, a steal for a cute spring dress, hey!  It comes sized for:

• Erika
• Gen X Classic/Curvy
• Kupra
• Lara X/Petite X
• Legacy/Perky/Bombshell
• Maitreya/Petite
• Reborn/Waifu

While I was there, I noticed these random boxes on the floor, so as I do, I clicked them. 😉  What happened next was free gifts popped into my inventory!  One of those gifts was this hairstyle!  It’s a flexi style and what I like about it is with slight movements, my bangs look like they’re blowing in a breeze.  It only comes in this color, and all the gifts come with a disclaimer notecard that they will not be refunded or supported, they are free gifts.  Now, I can’t guarantee you’ll get this hairstyle when you click the box, but it’s fun to try!  I also got another hairstyle in purple and a fun little scooter.  The boxes are in the middle of the floor.

Photograph

OK, this blog post has nothing to do with a ‘photograph’ even though it is a picture.  I chose this song though, because once I was posed, my internal brain starting singing ‘Look at this kittycat, every time I do it makes me laugh’ and then the memes were flashing in my brain and then I just had to use it.  LOL  It’s a little weird in my head. 😉

Curses, foiled again

Does anyone remember who said that?  When my brain is being weird, it is being WEIRD.  That was a quote from Snidley Whiplash from the cartoon Rocky and Bullwinkle!  (I hope Fuku is reading this post)  I went to Cupid’s Curse that Aline told you about HERE and came home with a ton of free gifts, and I didn’t even need a group!

• Free outfit by MicRo (sized for: Lara X, Legacy, Reborn)
• Free kitten by TRAP (bunbun, kitten and grumpy kitten versions)
• Free glasses by VARITII (fatpack hud)
• Free earrings by Vesta (in gold and silver)

I actually had bought this kitten at Kustom 9 months ago in Halloween colors, and I was so excited to see it as a gift for Valentine’s Day.  D’aw, cute stuff is the best stuff.

IMPORTANT!  You WILL need panties.  The skirt is more like a cummerbund …. lol.  I used the ‘safety pants’ that were a gift from the last round of Midnight Order, and it made the skirt look like shorts, which is perfect.

Cupid’s Curse is open through the end of the day, TODAY March 2nd, hurry!  (I have no idea what time they close but they are open as of this post)

Wildflower Dreams

Hello Fabulous Readers! Come escape with us to a sunlit meadow just as the wildflowers begin to bloom.

A Floral Whisper

The Darlene Top from Arti’s inspired today’s outfit.  She features slender spaghetti straps, a lace-trimmed sweetheart neckline, and delicate pastel blooms scattered across the soft pink background.  The camisole style flatters your curves and wraps you in a graceful silhouette.  Best of all, she’s a free gift for members of the Palomma Plaza Group, which is free to join.  Just activate the group tag, teleport to the plaza, and tap the vendor.

Mesh Body Compatibility:

• Erika and Petite
• Gen. X Classic, Curvy and Dainty
• Kupra
• LaraX and Petite
• Legacy Bombshell and Perky
• Maitreya and Petite
• Prima Busty and Petite
• Rebirth and Petite
• Reborn Smol and Waifu
• Senra Jamie
• Tonic Curvy and Fine

Ethereal Waves

My new Aura Hair from Truth flows in long cascading locks and looks like it has been lightly kissed by a spring breeze.  The style parts at the center and frames your face with long bangs that flip gracefully at the tips.  The remainder of the hair unfolds into curves that tumble past your shoulders.   Best of all, it’s a free gift for members of the Truth VIP Group, which has a 350L$ join fee.  The gift includes seven color HUDs:  Blonde, Brunette, Candy, Essential, Grayscale, Jewel, and Redhead, which is so generous!  There are 4 styling options for adjusting your locks just so.

Petal-White Perfection

I completed the look with a skirt from the Dawn Outfit, which I picked up at the Devil’s Playground shop for just 75L$ as part of the Energy Weekend Price Sale.  Its tailored fit complements the top beautifully.  It features two pockets and subtle stitching.  I love how the hardware details add just the right amount of polish.  The outfit includes a long-sleeved, cropped, tied top that I am not wearing for the photo.  Using the enclosed HUD, you can customize the look with 15 color options.

Mesh Body Compatibility:

• LaraX
• Legacy
• Reborn
• Waifus

This is the kind of outfit you’d wear for a springtime stroll or a meadow picnic.  With soft florals, clean white fabric, and flowing tresses, it’s a dream you can step into without breaking the bank.  Until our next post, happy shopping!

Flamingling

Welcome to the weekend! I decided I needed some flamingling so off I went to find some new pink friends. Did you know that a group of flamingos is called a flamboyance? What a great description!

Suit Up for Less

Of course, it also means shopping! Shopping sales, at that. There are tons of items at sale prices. What caught my eye yesterday was the ad from Valentina E. There are actually two items on sale for Fifty Linden Fridays. One of them is the Geneva suit I’m wearing. It features this cute top with a vest & tie, cuffed short sleeves, and a separate pair of cropped pants. It is only available at the $50L price in this black color.

Dress Up Your Feet

One of the store groups I belong to is N-Core. The shoes by this designer are always attractive and stylish. And the group is 300L to join.

Out In The Cold

Hey Fabs!

Quick one for ya today, because everyone needs 69L fatpacks and I don’t know how long it’s going to last!

Helping hands

The owner of [erotiK] put out a notice that she’s going through a tough time and needs some help.  She set every single fatpack in her store down to 69L and you don’t even need to be in the group to shop it!  I picked up the Harlyn Outfit, because it’s still cold here, even in Florida, and it had these fun jeans (not made for the cold) but this giant puffy jacket and I couldn’t resist!  It comes sized for:

• Lara X
• Legacy
• Reborn/Waifu

Like I said, it’s EVERY fatpack, there could be items in different sizes, so take your time and read all the vendors.  Hurry though, I’m not sure how long she’s going have this sale going!

 

Peace

In a Sea of Daisies

Hello Fabulous Readers!  This beautiful field of daisies and wildflowers proved to be the perfect backdrop for my photo of a free sweater and a budget-friendly pair of trousers.  If you haven’t visited Le Monde Perdu since the season change, I highly recommend the trip.

Soft and Light

The Bibi sweater from MOoH! is a free gift for members of the Fabulously Free in SL group.  She features a mock turtleneck, a slightly ribbed, knitted texture, and a playful asymmetrical cut that leaves your right arm and shoulder bare.  Its cropped fit highlights your waist and allows your skin to soak in the springtime sunshine.  The designer includes a texture HUD with ten colors, making this free gift quite versatile.  To pick up a copy for yourself, activate your Fab Free group tag and tap the vendor.

Mesh Body Compatibility:

• Kupra
• Legacy and Legacy Perky
• Maitreya and Maitreya Petite
• Reborn

Tailored to Bloom

I opted for a monochromatic color scheme and completed the look with Dara Pants from VOOH.  These high-waisted white jeans hug your curves beautifully.  A wide waistband with double buttons, jetted pockets with angled flaps, and vertical stitching add subtle visual interest.   The folder includes pants for flat, mid, and high feet, as well as a texture HUD to customize the metallic buttons.  You can purchase these sleek trousers for just 50L$ on the Marketplace.

Mesh Body Compatibility:

• Belleza Freya, Isis and Venus
• Classic in XXS, XS, S, M, and L (includes alpha layer)
• Maitreya
• Slink Hourglass and Physique
• Tonic Curvy and Fine
• TMP

Together, these pieces create an outfit that’s ideal for ushering in warm spring days in style without breaking the bank.  Until our next post, happy shopping!
