On the 2nd Day of Christmas…

Here we are again for Day 2 of Advent Calendar hopping. Did you check out the amazing list that Aline put together yet? Today I have a mix of decor and fashion & beauty items to share with you.

All the Pretty Things

First I want to talk a bit about the decor I found. There are some gorgeous designs in the advent calendars this year.

• [CIRCA] Living has 4 gifts up for each yesterday and today. You need to be in the group to buy them, but the group is free . The gifts themselves are between L$0 and L$75 each. I am using bauble vases (up on the fireplace mantle) and the stacked gift sled from Day 1’s offerings. Both come in 2 color choices and are L$25 and L$50 respectively.
• Hutspot has another pretty little decor gift today as well. It’s the Ho Ho Ho wooden decor up on the fireplace mantle. Just a reminder that the calendar gifts are FREE at Hutspot and you don’t even need a group!
• I also want to point out the beautifully festive Christmas tree and wreath. They are available this weekend at FlyingArts as part of the Island Weekend Sale. So be sure to go check that out! FlyingArts has an advent calendar as well, also FREE and no group needed.

This lovely dress is the gift at Alter today. It is FREE but you need the group tag, which is also FREE  to join. It is fit for the following bodies:

• Belleza Freya & Isis
• Legacy
• Maitreya
• Slink Hourglass & Physique

I’m also wearing the super high tied up heels from Not Pink. They were still available which I checked earlier, but they may not be soon, so hurry hurry! The gift itself is free and the group is only L$10 to join. These shoes are fit for:

• Kupra
• Legacy
• Maitreya
• Reborn

Lastly we have some lovely accessorizing options available today:

• The necklace is FREE and no group needed at M&M Style. The gift includes a matching bracelet and both are unrigged.
• I’m wearing nails from Frick-n-Frack again…FREE with no group needed. These fit Belleza, BBL, Kupra, Maitreya, Reborn and Slink hands.

My eyeshadow, lipstick and eyes are also from advent calendars so be sure to check all the details in the credits below! Thank you for reading!

Until next time!

Oh my, what a marvelous tune

I love a weekly sale, especially one that offers a whole bunch of freebies. I mean, what’s not to love about that? And there’s a new one on the grid – Slept on Sales. Aline has all the details here. There’s some really great stuff and their website makes it all so easy, complete with pictures and slurls to all the locations.

I went a bit classic today with a fantastic pair of heels and a little black dress. Again, what’s not to love? You’ll need to join the free Binge Events group and then both things are completely free!

• My free shoes are by Alter and the gift includes these perfect, black, goes-with-anything heels sized for Belleza, Lara, Slink, and TMP.
• I picked up the dress for free at Mooh! because I just can’t resist a tight little mini when it’s got details like these to set it apart from the rest. It comes with the dress and panties (two separate pieces), a HUD of colors to pick from and so many sizes – Altamura, Ebody curvy, Freya, Hourglass, Isis, Legacy, Maitreya, Tonic curvy, Tonic fine, and Tonic minimizer.

Simple Saturday

Hey there, FabFree! It is a seriously drab and dreary day here in real life with rain all over my Saturday. Thankfully it’s always easy to find a sunny place on the Grid. So that where I’m hangin’ today. Maybe do some hunting and certainly hitting the sales!

So I found a great new Group gift over at LC Fashion today that really suits my casual comfy mood. The “Fien Long Cardigan” is that gift and it is comfy and stylish too. Fien comes with a separate tank top to wear underneath but you could pair this with a lot of things in your wardrobe. You’ll get a HUD with three colors for the cardigan, fifteen colors for the tank, fifteen colors for the hood and fifteen colors for the fringe as well as an “on-off” switch for the fringe. Pretty and versatile, if ya ask me! The outfit is listed as a “Group Gift” but you can actually just grab it. This might be a glitch which will be fixed but I don’t know. Try it out and if it has decided to ask for a group you can join for just 10L. So still a great bargain!

Sizes Included

• Belleza – Freya, Isis
• Class Mesh – XS – XL
• Maitreya
• SLink – Hourglass, Physique

Now speaking of weekend sales… My cute bubbles are part of the Saturday sale at Sweet Art and can be yours for just 60L. You get eight different poses in the bundle. Each one has the bubble wand and a bottle to hold. I just love the floating little heart shaped bubbles.  As with all sales, some designers leave the items up longer than just one day but some are strict about the midnight deadline. So hurry over to Sweet Art if you want to get some bubbles to play with.

Lucky Girl

Good Morning, Fab Fam! As you must know by now we are ALL about the FabFree St. Patty’s Day Hunt here on the Blog. And why not?? There’s tons of awesome items out there hiding in our little neon rainbows for you to find! 

Like this wonderful casual tank from Bold Llama! The “Lucky” tank is a great addition to any wardrobe for those warm Spring days out looking for your four leaf clover! And while you’re at the Bold Llama shop, be sure to check out the FabFree Group Gift and the tons of other hunts going on.

Sizes Included

• Belleza – Freya, Isis, Venus

I accented my new tank with another FabFree St. Patty’s Day item, my new shamrock jewelry from Shining. I usually don’t do too much jewelry but I had to have these cute clovers. They are super well made and even the earring have a resize script in them. I do love making things fit my mood. The earrings and the necklace are hidden separately but with both items together equaling up to just 5L, it’s a heck of a deal.

The FabFree St. Patty’s Day Hunt runs until March 25th so get out there and grab those prizes!

Ethereal

Sometimes, you just *gotta* blog something.  The wings on this outfit sold me, I tried them on and said “woah!” out loud.  Sold.  Must blog.  Sometimes too you can see the end photo in your head, sometimes you can get there and sometimes you can’t, but when you are inspired, there is always a vision.  I saw my vision and got to create it this time, so I am grateful and blessed.

and I love anything with fingerless gloves.  😛  Just by the way.

So this awesome getup is another of those awesome free goodies at the Halloween Shop & Hop going on now and lasting until the end of the month.  This is courtesy of Alter, which is a new to me designer (I’m discovering so many amazing designers lately!  It’s such a delight!).

Honestly, you are gonna be unpacking for agessssss once you go to the shop & Hop (as usual!), I even wrote down a few places I want to go back to once I have some more lindens.  There are also a few gift cards as gifties.

I’ve got one more Shop & Hop showcase coming up for you, so hold tight.  Then it’s back to the spooky!

Cute Boots

Well…. hello there, FabFree!  No, I haven’t lost my mind or my shirt… well maybe the shirt… Let me explain …  See, Poeme, being a go -to source of awesome things is introducing a whole line of these sweet ankle boots. And I knew I was going to grab them up … but at the very reasonable price of 99L, I couldn’t show them off on the Blog. Well, boo. Then the wonderful Elysiane Sapphire said “That’s no fun” and the she put these three fantastic patterns on a Special FabFree Sale! 75L each!

UPDATE:

Good News, Everyone! Elysiane sent me a text a few minutes ago because -I was WRONG! It’s not just these three styles of boots… It’s the entire line! That’s right… The whole shebang is just 75L each. But only till March 1st! So get over there!

So I knew I had to find a shirt that was equally cool to go with them. I looked around and realized… There’s NO shirt as cool as these boots! So I stopped trying and let the boots speak for themselves!

For a limited time, You can grab these three boots for the Fab price of 75L each. Be sure to take a look while you’re there at all the great Group Gifts too. You can’t go wrong at Poeme!

Soft and slow, watch the minutes go

As January is coming to a close I can’t help but wonder what happened to the time? It seems to be going by so fast and there’s no way to slow it down. With everything in the world, I’m thankful that I have this outlet to express my love, joy, sorrow, and complacency here with you. Think my moral compass is on a vacation, which is where my head has been the past few weeks, drinking a nice frozen beverage with some fruit hanging off the cup. So if you’re waiting for an invitation, here it is, let’s allow ourselves to take a vacation and forget all the worries or stressors! First drink is free ^^

A little warmth

 

It’s starting to get cool in the mornings, a sure sign of Autumns arrival. Plus, just about everywhere, pumpkins and ghosts and those enormous bags of candy in the stores. I have to admit I am having a great time finding, and sampling, the bags Juli thinks she’s hidden around the house.

Speaking of finding treats, you will be hunting down a piece of candy for the Boo! Bunny Hunt to get your treat. This is the men’s gift from Ink Blots and it’s just one Linden plus some hunting. The warm jacket and sweater come as one convenient piece making dressing easy and quick. The details are of good quality and move well once it’s on. Something a lot of men’s wear struggles with. The Boo! Bunny Hunt runs until October 31rst so don’t delay.

Sizes Included

• Classic Mesh – XS – XL

Hurry up and wait

Why do I always end up waiting? Usually I’m waiting on Juli. This time is no different. She told me… ordered me to hurry up and go find something appropriate for Halloween so of course I did… now I’m just cooling my heels till she gets dressed.  I may be here for a while.

Well, Bats

At least I was able to find something “Halloween – y” for the wait. And got it on the cheap. This is the ‘Bat Shirt’ from Dragonmoon Designs. And it was just 1L as part of the Monster Mash Hunt. There are quite a few men’s prizes on this Hunt so don’t miss it.
