Feeling Hearty

I always joke about people getting annoyed at me about being covered in hearts.  I’m kinda really loving all the heart-spangled clothing that February is bringing us, and I’m probably not going to stop any time soon.  It makes me think of all the best things in the world: candy, stickers, and little cards from people you love.  Valentine’s day can suck in loads of ways for sure, but the hearts are a thing that just make me squee!

So Shady

The Shady Sim Hunt is going on right now, with all their stores providing a super cute hunt item which costs only 20L.  I went to three different locations on the sim and found this cuteness:

• 20L Top and Skirt by Pretty Deceased sized for Legacy and Maitreya
• 20L T-shirt by Mug sized for Maitreya, V-Tech, Sking, Freya & Legacy (Change the Size in the HUD)
• 20L Cupcake by Dots with Bento Hold

To take part in this hunt, you need to join the free Shady Sim Group (you can join at the landing point) and then find the little teddy bears in each store.  Here’s the vendor pic to show you all the different items there are for you to hunt for!

Get over there before February 15th!

That Was Halloween

Happy après Halloween Fab Free!  It’s been a soaking, sodden affair here in my part of the world, and I’ve been flat out busy the last two days, but I got out into the wilds with a tiny human and got the candy.   It was good times.  We did the most important thing after slogging through the puddles – we sorted all the candy.  Did anyone else sort and count how many of each type they got?  Is that a me thing or an everyone thing?  Inquiring minds want to know!

The Pot

Halloween has pretty much come to a close, but that doesn’t mean you can’t show off some cute outfits for a few last minute parties.  The Boiling Pot Hunt is still going on, and I totally loved the finds from Sparrow!  I searched the sim the hunt is located on high and low and came across this top and shorts set which I spent 20L on for each item.  That’s a deal!  You’ve still got a while to seek out these goodies, The Boiling Pot Hunt goes until November 20th, and there are loads of fun finds!

Sizes

• Maitreya
• Legacy

Hope you had a very Happy Halloween!

Slithering on a Sunday

Well well well Fab Free, I seem to have become a snake charmer.  Don’t let anyone tell you you can’t ever realize your deepest dreams.  Not that being a snake charmer was on my bucket list, but these are small details to contend with.  I’m sure it will come in handy as a cool party trick!

What a Mug

Well this jacket/shirt/snake combo is quite a knockout, isn’t it?  I am obsessed!  I got it over at Mug on the Shady Sim Hunt.  Every store on the sim has a little hunt item to seek out.  The hunt object is a candle so keep your peepers peeled for it.  You may find the HUD at the landing point for the sim to come in handy as well, and you’ll need to join the free group HERE to get your prizes.  The jacket comes with an HUD to change the skin colour on the hands to match, and you can change the size through the HUD as well.  Once you found the candle, just pay 20L and this amazing conversation piece will be yours!

Sizes

• Maitreya
• V-Tech
• Freya
• Katena
• Legacy

Hey Shorty

My cute little leather shorts are a new group gift from CLBlue.  I joined their group for 50L, and clicked on the vendor, easy peasy.  There are a few other gifts there too.  I love a great pair of shorts that you can totally wear with anything.  Sweet!

Sizes

• Freya
• Hourglass
• Isis
• Kemono Default
• Kemono Fitted Torso
• Maitreya
• Slink
• V-Tech Boi

A word to the wise, don’t antagonize the snake.  For reals.

Power of Three

Hello there Fabulouses!  Witchwood (Home to Petite Mort & Oubliette), is hosting it’s third annual Trick or Treat Halloween Hunt along with a massive 50% off sale!  I called on Pru and Aline to help me show off these witchtastic prizes last night 😉

About the hunt…

There are 6 hidden black cats hidden around the Witchwood sim that are 20L each.  All six prizes together will make up two complete outfits.  One being a witch costume, and the other a pirate costume (which still has a witchy sort of look to it!).  Aline is wearing the witch costume, and Pru the Pirate, with myself wearing a mixture of both pieces.  I suppose I am a pirate witch!

Just Call Me Wednesday

Hello Fab Free’rs! I am always happy you’re here. So I’m just going to come out and say it, I call this look “when you’re goth af but you love the beach.” It’s true, I do love the beach and I certainly have my goth girl moments. There isn’t anything about this look, parasol and all, that I don’t love. I feel like a grown-up Wednesday Addams on summer holiday. The parasol, this killer swimsuit, and the gorgeous heels are all fabulous free or otherwise inexpensive finds. Keep reading and I’ll tell you the where and how of getting each one.

The Parasol – I found this adorably goth parasol by Kaos on the Marketplace for just 20 linden. It is just as you see though it is difficult to see the slightly speckled texture in this photo. The hold pose is built in, and it has resize scripts. I was even able to use the parasol with another pose and the parasol’s hold pose still worked. You can get your copy of this darkly cute parasol from the Kaos store on the Marketplace. Other colors are available also.

The Bikini – When I saw the ad for this bikini from Kenodoxy, I had one of those “I need that” kind of reactions. It is every bit as cute on as it was in the vendor photo. The swimsuit is a free group gift at Kenodoxy. It comes in several mesh sizes. The Kenodoxy group is free to join, so no reason to miss out on this awesome gift.
Mesh Sizes Included: Maitreya Lara, Slink (Hourglass, Physique), TMP, Belleza (Freya, Isis, Venus), Tonic (Curvy, Fine)

The Shoes – Those shoes though! I love everything about these free group gift shoes from VO.Z. The straps that wide around your calves are made to look like rose stems or vines. I think it makes them all the prettier. These shoes have a color change hud that lets you change the color of the heel, straps, the leaves, and the rose separately. To get your pair, head over to VO.Z and join the free-to-join VO.Z group.

Here are the details, enjoy!

Parasol w/hold – [Kaos] Cooky Parasol – Black – 20L on the Marketplace
Hair – RunAway – [RA] Wicca Hair – Grayscale
Head – CATWA HEAD Koura Bento

Red Hot Hearts

Red Hot

Valentine’s Day is over, but it’s never too late to be … red hot. And this hot (FREE!) subscriber gift of red stockings with a little trail of heart on the legs from House of Ruby is proof of that. It’s also unisex (yes that’s right, guys you can be red hot in this gift too!). Of course, like most things from House of Ruby, these stockings are daring. To even show them to you I had to don a pair of… ahem… undies. These stockings come crotch-less for the more risque people in your lives… *wink wink* . These come in a universal Omega applier hud for all your applying needs.

A Touch of Class

I had to top of my otherwise risky outfit with a touch of class, so I stopped by Tabou for some “softer” hearts. Their most recent group gift is a pretty heart necklace with a texture change hud. It includes three metals and three different textures (plain, or two word choices: “Love Sucks” or “Stupid Cupid”). Above I am wearing it in black with a gold metal finish. You can get this necklace just by wearing your Tabou group tag, which you can get for only a tiny 20L fee. There are also several past nice gifts to be picked up while you are there, so the 20L fee won’t be painful at all!

Happy freebie shopping!

Not Ready for Cold Weather

Not ready for cold weather…

I’m not ready for cold weather. It got nippy here where I live and then the weather warmed up yesterday and it prompted me to look for warmer clothes in Second Life too. So I was really pleased when I saw that Kom‘s November group gift was this really pretty (and versatile) short skirt. It comes in all your favorite body sizes and includes a color change hud with 7 colors to choose from as well. I was partial to this teal color which I paired with a blueberry gift top that I blogged a while back that you can now get on the marketplace for just 1L.

Skirt sizes available:

• Maitreya – Lara
• Slink – Physique
• Belleza – Freya, Isis, & Venus

Something pretty

I wanted a little something extra to go with my outfit so I stopped by The Forge to see what was available. Sometimes in-store gachas hold sweet surprises. I discovered the Boadicea’s Necklaces and really liked the celtic look and fine detailing on them. I gave the 50L gacha a spin and pulled one of the commons in “rust” which matched my outfit very nicely. The rares were quite beautiful as well and would be worth a few extra pulls to try to nab one at just 50L per spin.

Something Lacy

Versatility…

I ran across a little lacy number that I think is simply… versatility incarnated. You could wear it as a dress or lingerie either one. This outfit by Kom includes a solid mesh skirt with a sheer lace top (I had to wear strategic hair) and has solid sleeve cuffs as well as a solid shirt collar with a dipping neckline. It also has the detail of several rectangular silver buttons on the sheer top. Overall it is a piece that is incredibly well done and moves with your mesh body like a dream (or at least it did with my Maitreya body). I didn’t experience any clipping at all, and I have an AO that moves quite a bit.

It says that it is only compatible with the Maitreya mesh body, but if you give it a try, you might be able to get it to work with other bodies.

The Kom group was just 20L to join to pick up this lovely group gift, and there were several other past group gifts up on the gift wall that were just as nice, making the 20L well worth it in my opinion. There were also gifts from other groups such as the Maitreya group, SL Frees & Offers group and so on… so there was a wall of gifts to be had if you make the stop to this main-store. Lots of goodies for your one stop!
