Big mistake. Big. Huge. I have to go shopping now.

For anyone who doesn’t know, the title of this post and my photo are a quote from the movie Pretty Woman starring Julia Roberts and Richard Gere. If you have seen the movie, it will make sense. If you haven’t, well I highly suggest you add it to your movie list. The shopping scene is one of the best in the movie in my opinion.

That said, I feel like this is how I would have looked lugging home all of the free gifts at the current round of Vanity. I also of course happen to be wearing a few. All the gifts are free, you just need to join the Vanity event group. The group is free to join. I picked three of the many free gifts to share with you that I thought really went well together. The outfit I am wearing is from Queenz, my sunnies are from Avada, and this lip color is from GO Makeup. Lastly I also picked up a little bit of bling by Clever & Cool on the Marketplace to wear with these high-waisted pants. Keep reading for more details, and peep the credits at the end.

Queenz

I wouldn’t dare try to pull off all this white in my real life, however here in Second Life it’s such a win. This cropped top with ruffled sleeves, and the matching pants are the free gift at Vanity by Queenz. The pieces can be worn together or separately. Also, the top comes in a version sans the sleeves. The pants (since I cropped them out of the photo) are fitted through the waist and hips, then are a long loose-leg pant.

Sizes Included: Yentaments BBL Body, Maitreya Lara, Ebody Curvy, Slink Hourglass, Belleza Freya, 9S Jessica, Sking Katena

Avada 

The way a lot of people feel about shoes, I feel about sunglasses. There’s no such thing as too many pairs. These are the free Vanity group gift by Avada. They have resize scripts and a texture hud. The hud gives you 5 solid color choices for the frames, 7 options for the lenses, and 2 metal choices.

GO Makeup 

I love this mini HD lip palette by GO Makeup. It comes with 4 juicy red lip shades that scream summer. They also are free at Vanity with the Vanity group tag. This set comes in appliers for Catwa HD Lips and Genus HD Lips. For Catwa head wearers, this means you’ll need the free HD Lips add-on if you do not already have it. Don’t have HD Lips with your head yet? Head over to Catwa and get a redelivery, you need an upgrade! Here’s an awesome tutorial by Virtual Bloke about Catwa HD Lips and how to use them. For Genus head wearers, I believe the HD option is included in your hud.

Clever & Cool 

Finally, I felt like this outfit needed a little something extra. Thankfully I came across this cute gemstone belly chain by Clever & Cool for just 25 linden on the Marketplace. It has resize scripts built in, as well as lots of texture choices. I think it looks pretty cute as a belt, and is well worth the paltry price tag. If this one isn’t your style, there are a few others with the same price point, as well as several other types of jewelry.

A tale of Ice Cream and Kittens

Today we find a rather glum Zsa.  I told her that if she still wanted to buy stuff on top of all the freebies and cheapies all us FabFree girls hunt down, she had to get a job.  I found her one in the local ice cream parlour, The Sugar Bowl, but she is not impressed, and spent her days day dreaming about Elvis, and trying to avoid damaging her new manicure.

At least she dressed well for her first day at her new job, and her outfit includes 2 group gifts and a dress that cost very little.

The dress…..

….. is from Bowtique and available on the marketplace for just 50L includes a 25 option texture change hud.

Sizes Included:

• Maitreya (with autohide)
• Fitmesh
• 5 fitmesh standard avatar sizes (alphas included)

The Sparkly Stuff….

…..consists of group gifts from Cae. The group is free to join, and there are other gifts to pick up including the companion necklace for this bracelet and earrings.

And finally….

…….Kitty nails!  Zsa, like the person behind the monitor, is animal obsessed (you should see her Jian folder), with a particular love of cats, bats, elephants and goats – but cats always come first.  One of many free group gifts available from Alme is a kitten manicure! The group costs 50L to join but there are frequent gifts and a wall of previous gifts to pick up.  The Alme system uses an easy hud allowing you to apply to all these systems with a click.  To pick your gifts up just put your Alme tag on, and pay the vendor 1L, which will immediately be refunded).

• • Alme
  • Belleza
  • Slink
  • Maitreya
  • Omega
  • Vista
  • Tuty’s

As you can’t see the nails very well, here is a vendor pic:

Must dash, I need to search for another job for Zsa, I don’t think this one will last very long.  She switched the fridge off by mistake and all the ice cream melted.  Whoops.

What is Zsa wearing? 

Mesh Body – Maitreya Lara
Mesh Head – Lelutka Chloe
Applier – Pink Fuel Anja 
Eyes – Avi-Glam Solstice Eyes

Nails – Alme Love Kittens (group gift / pay 1L, immediately refunded / 50L to join)

Color Me Beautiful

Happy Tuesday FabFree!

I hope everyone’s week as set off to a great start! I have had quite a busy morning today, but while browsing our FabFree group gifts I saw this cute and festive romper and couldn’t resist the urge. I was born and raised in Cali, and my inner Cali girl, or as I call it, my “inner hippie” loved the colors and ran for the hills with it. Snickers. The Mandala Romper by The Beautiful Ones, is an beautiful freebie for our members here at FabFree! The colors in the design on the top half of the romper are so bright and fun and the teal used on the bottom half and through out the outfit was eye-catching and drew me to this piece! You can see some previous coverage done on this creator by Love Trill, [here].

Wishing Upon the Stars

Hey FabFree!

Happy Tuesday! I woke up in a mood today and decided what the heck, I am going to get all dressed up and be pretty for ME! I found this super snug stretchy pencil dress from CoCo Designs! The berry-red color of this dress is absolutely stunning, pair it with some bright red lips and maybe some red pumps, you’ll be turning head for sure. It’s a simple dress, which I happen to love, because that just opens the box for creativity and uniqueness. The CoCo Designs in-world group, is free to join and there is an entire wall full of free gifts!

Coco Designs- Stretch Tube Dress Sizing:

• Maitreya
• Slink & Hourglass

I just couldn’t find a pretty enough spot to show off the dress, so I wandered around from Sim to Sim, until I stumbled onto Why Not? The minute I saw this Gazebo, I knew it was just what I was looking for. However, my excitement didn’t stop here, because it is their group gift this month! The Why Not? in-world group is also free to join, you have to pay the vendor $1L, but is is given right back to you. This Gazebo is absolutely beautiful!

Don’t forget to sport those group tags, to receive those gifts!!

A Beachy Afternoon Lost in Thought

Happy Wednesday, Hump Day, or however you wish it to be known as FabFree!!

I hope everyone is having a great start to the week! Today, seemed to have dragged on for me, but it’s almost over! I told myself I wasn’t going to do anymore Women’s Only Hunt, but I figure, what the heck, one more won’t hurt right? Right. Ersch, has an adorable little dress, for their free prize. Bummer is, that it is for Maitreya only, but it comes with five different patterns. The patterns included in the hunt gift at Ersch are Pink Flamingos, Blue Fish, Mint Seashells and Starfish in peach and violet. This mini Vacation dress is is accented with ruffles and hangs off the shoulder in a super cute and sassy way. Some panties may need to be had, because it puts mini to the test, but when it’s cute, it worth the “pain.”
