Forever Summer

I’m back on the beach.  You can’t get me off of the beach, I shall resist until I am attacked by Pumpkin Spice.  I mean, in my corner of the world all the coffee shops have already snuck their pumpkin goodies onto their menus, so maybe I’m holding on to the last few beach days in vain, but I care not!  BATHING SUIIIITS!

Dive In

There’s a really nice group gift over at Aleutia – this exceedingly versatile bathing suit will have you playing with your HUD for hours.  You can mix and match all the different sections of the bikini, and make it as colourful or monochrome as you like!  I grabbed mine (sized for Maitreya) by joining the Aleutia group for FREE, and clicking on the vendor.  There are a bunch of other gifts there too, so make sure you grab them while you’re at it!

I’m diving in!

Lady of the Lake

Hello there Fabulouses!  With Enchantment opening up their brand new King Arthur themed round recently, I was inspired to put together a way back in time, lady of the lake look!

Going Stag

My Guinevere Gown by Aleutia and The Lady of The Lake Pose by Nantra are available for purchase at Enchantment, but the news I thought our FabFree readers might be interested in learning about are these cool White Stags by Jinx!  These fall under our FabFree 75L limit as a gacha offering and with each play you’ll get a stag of some kind, no little chokers or booby prizes, just all stag!  You might even get lucky enough to get the giant ride on version!

Don’t blame me if you wind up spending a ton at the event, there is some seriously cool stuff there!

A Sweet Sixteen

Hello Fabulouses!  It looks like Gabriel wasn’t the only one visiting Second Life’s 16th Birthday Celebration today!  Ripley and I picked up two free items that I am super excited to share with you!

Say Hello to New Hair

At the Limerance display, I discovered the Sati Hair, and immediately fell in love with its long wavy tresses.  Featuring a center part and delicious soft curls that reach to waist length, this free gift is a hairstyle that I am sure I’ll wear over and over.  The thoughtful designer included a texture change HUD containing 20 colors (the VIP set) as well as a tool to alter the tint, so this is a very versatile style, indeed.  I had fun playing with different combinations!  To pick up a copy for yourself, all you have to do is visit the Limerence booth and click the vendor.  It’s completely free!

Free Outfit of Your Choice

Over at the Aleutia display, Catalina Staheli is generously donating a promo code for an outfit of your choice from her booth at the SL 16B Shop & Hope Sim.  The code will apply a 125L credit toward any one item.  Specific directions for how to apply the code are provided to you once you click the gift vendor, so I won’t duplicate them here.  Basically, this code will change the price of the item to 1 Linden dollar.  This 1 Linden will be returned as store credit after the sale completes (if you are a member of the store group) or you can IM Catalina and she will refund the 1L to you if you’d prefer.  It was wonderful to be able to choose which item I’d like to purchase.  I chose to go with the Savannah Maxi Skirt in the Batik print, but there are many other options available for you to browse.  I really like the black and white print in this free skirt!  The gift included a HUD to change the leather and metal in the belt for the skirt, which came in handy.

Mesh Body Compatibility:

• Freya
• Hourglass
• Maitreya

Until my next post, happy shopping!

Winter Joy

Good morning Fabulouses!  I hope you are enjoying your weekend :).

Lucky at Aleutia

If you have a few minutes today, make sure you check out the two lucky boards at Aleutia!  These boards are open to all – no need to be in the group, and they contain the Joy winter dress that you see me wearing.  When my letter L came up on the board last night, I was sent Aleutia’s Joy in cold wintery shade of Blueberry.  It is fitted for maitreya and the lace trim on it gives it a lovely classic feel.

GOOD LUCK!

Is The Juice Worth The Squeeze?

Hello there Fabulouses 😉  Today I have three free items in my outfit today…  Four actually if you count the unisex Versov Jumpov Sneakers that Pru previously told you about in her post [HERE].

Go on…  Give it a squeeze!

One should always question whether the juice is worth the squeeze… but this time I can assure you that it is, because the squeeze…  being the couple of minutes you’ll have to spend hunting down the little hidden coconut at ChicChica – is free  and quick to do!  Once you locate the hunt icon you’ll have this adorable bottle of OJ, sweet and fresh – all ready for you!  It comes with a rez and a hold version which is nice, because this will make a great kitchen decor piece too.  The Women Only Hunt doesn’t officially start until August 4th, but some stores already have their prizes out – and ChicChica is one of them!  This hunt is going to be amazing, and I can’t wait until all the prizes are out!!

Two More Free Things:

Aleutia is where you’ll find the Maitreya fitted lace Kiki Top and Violet Pants as free group gifts!  I mentioned the other day [HERE] that Aleutia does have a 25L group join fee… but as you can see with all of the gifts available, it won’t hurt a bit… Especially because all of their gifts come with these amazingly large texture change HUDS!

Girls Just Wanna Have Sun

Hello there Fabulouses! I called on Pru to help me show off some summertime fun free gifts.  Today we have news about three free items to share with you and we’ll get right to it, so we can enjoy the rest of the day at the beach!  This is actually a male/female pose, but I think we pull it off pretty well – and we totally got this big heavy board and the stow aways!

1, 2, 3 Summer Fun Freebies:

1. Pru’s one piece swimsuit is called Carmen and is a free SLF&O group gift at Aleutia (free to join group).  This is fitted for Maitreya Lara only, but does come with a HUGE texture change HUD with solid colours.
2. Love’s Debbie Bikini is also available at Aleutia as a free group gift, but this one is available with your Aleutia group tag which will cost you 25L to join.  Again – Maitreya fitted and includes a HUD with tons of colour options.
3. We are both wearing the Sandov sandals that are the newest free group gift at VERSOV with a free group join.  These are unisex, come in a ton of different variations and are compatible with:  Unrigged / Aesthetic / Slink Male & Female / TMP / Maitreya / Belleza Female

On the Dock of the Bay

Happy weekend (what’s left of it), fabulous readers! And happy Father’s Day (U.S.) to you dads out there!

As I was checking out some beautiful places in SL over the weekend, I happened to wander on to the Devin’s Eye sim. It’s a beautifully-decorated rural sim, and I highly recommend a visit. My buddy here is actually much friendlier than he looks, so don’t let him scare you away.

Oh! And I’ve got a comfy, casual look to share with you for YOUR summer sim-hopping! 😀

Comfy Jeans for Summer

Aleutia recently announced a change in their group gift policy: “Each week, Aleutia will take at least one of our older releases and place it out among the group gifts. When the week is up, that release will be retired from both the main store and marketplace forever.”

So… there are 2 takeaways from that statement:

1. There will now be WEEKLY GROUP GIFTS! Woohoo!
2. You’d better grab the gifts quickly each week before they disappear forever!

I’m sporting the first of these weekly gifts, The Zeta Jeans. They come in not one, not two, but FOURTEEN (14) different colors.

The “catch” — if you can call it that — is that they are only designed to fit Maitreya mesh bodies (you can certainly try them with different bodies to see if they’ll fit, though).

Remember: you only have 1 WEEK to grab this gift before a new gift is released and this one goes away forever. So don’t wait too long!

Be My BayBee

I wandered into new-to-me store Holly Mill last week when I was looking for a different store. This turned out to be a good thing because they have a really nice FREE gift set out!

The Baybee Crop Top comes in sizes for Maitreya and Slink Hourglass mesh bodies only. Five (5) different designs are included in the box.

The gift is absolutely free. Just click and buy for 0L. No group join is required. 🙂

Enjoy!

❤ Serena

I Wish Every Day Was A Beach Day

Good morning Fabulous!  It’s true…  I really do wish every day was a beach day, and maybe in Second Life – it’s a possibility since all it takes is a quick teleport!

Stocking Up On Swimwear

At Aleutia there are a couple of really nice bikinis with full texture change HUDs as gifts and I was lucky enough to win the MoonSoul Bikini in the group midnight mania board (20L to join the group) the other day!  I was just in the shop to grab the slurl, and noticed that today it is available in the other open FREE board without a fee. You might find it in the lucky chairs at times as well, as the wide variety of gifts seem to rotate through chairs and boards.

As I mentioned earlier, the Moonsoul Bikini comes with a fully loaded texture change HUD, and it allows you to change the colour of three areas.  Whatever your favourite colours are, it’ll be in there!  Fitted for Maitreya, this bikini is a keeper in my summer wardrobe!

Other free prizes available at Aleutia:

• Cookies For Breakfast
• Not So Risky Business
• Cut Out For Formal Wear

Cookies For Breakfast

Good morning FabFree!  Who on earth said that cookies are not good for breakfast?  Probably someone’s mom…  In fact, I probably tell my own kids not to eat cookies for breakfast, but….  *I* eat cookies for breakfast sometimes…  sue me. 😀

Good Morning At Midnight

This morning you’ll see me wearing the satiny smooth Kristen Dress (which could also double as lingerie) that is available as a rotating free prize at Aleutia.  For a 20L group join – you’ll find an open MM board and a group MM board as well as five group lucky chairs.  I won this in the FREE open midnight mania board, but it is available in the other board and chairs at times as well too.

Kristen is fitted specifically for Maitreya (although may work with other bodies – I haven’t tried) and includes a 15 colour option texture change HUD for both the top and skirt.

ps.  The cute little heart-shaped, double layer cream filled cookie comes with a holding animation and is available for Pocket Gacha at 55L per play at ChicChica.  Go on, and have it for breakfast…  I won’t tell.
