Kiss Me Under The Mistletoe

Hopefully you’ve heard about the fantastic-ness that is the free group gift extravaganza by Lelutka and friends. The heads are an unbelievably generous free gift, but I’d be remiss if I let that over shine all of the other amazing things that are also being given away for free as part of the event. You can read all about what’s going on here, and I’ve also found this page over on seraphim to be super helpful because it shows pictures of everything that’s on offer.

So Much More

An easily overlooked perk of all of these group gifts by all of these amazing creators, is that all of their groups are free to join till it ends on December 30th, even the ones that normally have a cost to join. There are so many normally paid groups that are free right now! It’s the perfect opportunity to jump into these groups while the jumping’s good.

But I digress. The first thing I did, besides grabbing the heads, was tp hastily to Deetalez.   Deetalez makes the most gorgeous skins and they were my go to for a long time, but y’all know I can’t stick to just one skin. Still they are completely lovely and a free skin by Deetalez is not something to miss. Snow has the prettiest rosy cheeks and nose and perfect lips, like I’ve just come in from the cold. It comes in three shades with various options.

Another Group!

Unrelatedly, Lilleth Mills has their group set to free temporarily. There will be a cost to join after December 31st. There are some sweet and sexy free past group gifts up on the wall, and the most recent free group gift is my outfit. The sweater and skirt is all one easy to wear piece. There is also a HUD that allows you to change the skirt and the sweater independently of each other to a handful of festive colors. Included are these sizes:

• GenX Classic
• GenX Curvy
• Kupra
• Legacy
• Maitreya
• Reborn

Now I’m Free

Happy Friday! I am feeling so carefree and breezy today. I think the orange hue of this dress might have autumn in mind, but for me it just screams (in a calm, relaxing way) summer sunshine and boho vibes.

On The Hunt

Are you looking for a fun little way to kick off your weekend? Go do the Belle Epoque 7th Anniversary Hunt! Yes, you’ve definitely heard about this hunt if you’re a regular FabFree reader. But I’m here to give you another push to go, if you haven’t been yet. It’s only running until November 30th and you know how crazy of a week next week will be, best to go now so you don’t miss out. I’m showing two of the gorgeous and free prizes:

• The Bella dress by Belle Epoque in sizes for Legacy and Maitreya
• My sweet little circlet by OAL, which includes a HUD full of customization options

The cupcakes scattered around the inside of the Belle Epoque store are plentiful and easy to find. There is no group join required and all of the prizes are completely free. It’s the perfect end-of-the-workweek way to relax and soak up some freebies.

Feeling Cute

Hello! Today I will show you gifts from the FabFree Fallen Leaves and Frost Hunt and the latest round of Cosmopolitan. All of the recent events with gifts and great sales have been keeping me busy. I am always awed by the skills and generosity  of SL’s creators. I am always thankful for gifts. In the near (or far) future I need to engage in everyone’s favorite task in SL – making peace with my inventory. Wish me luck with that task!

Another Great FabFree Hunt

Glitterati by Sapphire and Stunner Originals are only two of he many stores participating in the FabFree Fallen Leaves and Frost Hunt.

Today I’m wearing a free outfit from Glitterati by Sapphire. It includes the top and shorts and is sized for:

• Classic sizes XXS – L
• Belleza Freya, Isis, Venus
• Maitreya
• SLink HG & Physique

Stunner Originals contribution is a sweet set of lipsticks. Sky comes with an applier HUD for Lelutka Exo X. There are 12 lovely shades to choose from. It’s priced at $5 so it’s a pretty awesome deal. If you own an Evo X head you definitely want to get it.

One of this month’s free group gifts at Cosmopolitan is the Sigma Key Earrings. There are 2 color options: gold or silver. You do have to join the free Cosmopolitan group. I know I’ll wear these often.

Hope today is the start of a great weekend for you. Sorry for the short post; my brain is on vacation : )

This One’s For the Bloggers

To the Photographers and Bloggers!

It’s about time I showed some love to all the amazing bloggers and photographers out there. You know you all inspire me to do better… I just love browsing Flickr and checking out everyone’s pictures! I have three cute freebies today for all the bloggers and photographers of SL to enjoy.

Posin’

I have been working on setting up a small photo studio for myself so I was looking for the perfect pose stand. I was tearing my hair out trying to find the perfect one! I found a great little pose stand from Shanti tucked away in my inventory. This stand is free, and you will find it at the front of their store on the wall cubby in a small little box. No group is needed for this little freebie. The pose stand is no copy, so be careful not to lose it! Make sure to rezz the gift on a sandbox or on your land. Once you have it opened, just rezz it at your place, click “edit”, and then “drag” animations into the contents menu of the pose stand. I was able to add ALOT of my poses to it, so this is going to be very useful for my blogging ventures! I used the Shanti pose stand to create the photographs in my post today in my new studio.

an lar [poses]

Some of the poses I loaded up into the stand are from an lar [poses]. They have many freebies on their Marketplace. I have been known from time-to-time to spread the news of these freebies to any blogger friends I meet. They are so great! The pose I am wearing today is from the free Ellie Series. FabFree coverage of more free poses from an lar [poses], which are all still available HERE, can be found in the following posts by my fellow bloggers and myself (check our credits to see where the poses come from):

• Nope! The Christmas Tree Ain’t Going Down Yet! by Caroline Walker
• You Make Me Feel Like Dancing by Creola Deledda
• Baby Shark by Bunnie Francis
• Chilly by Caroline Walker
• Sleek Style by Jacx Broom
• Classic Hottie by Jacx Broom
• Here Comes the 4L Bride! by Desi Stockton
• Halloween’d Out by Caroline Walker

The “Flames of Love” Backdrop

Finally, the backdrop behind me is another freebie at Shanti. Just head to the front of the store and pick it up in the little yellow bag. No group join is required for this one! It’s so pretty! It has a glowing hear in the background with lovely purple patterns and shine. Radiant!

Have fun, FabFree!

You Make Me Feel Like Dancing

Happy Monday to our readers! What’s so happy about Mondays grumbles the former working Cre. It means you’ll have days off again in 5 days. That’s something to be happy about, isn’t it? You’ll be even happier if you’re a member of the Shanti Bohemian Shop group. This month’s group gift will surely brighten your day.

Light & Bright

I swear that Ms. Arielle, the owner, creator, and driving force of Shanti Bohemian has a texture fairy! Not only is the design of this beautiful, flowy Bohemian top and skirt perfect, her color choices with this texture sends it over the top. The sleeves are gorgeous; the construction details are evident. It makes me feel like dancing, day or night. Dang, I’ll blow everyone away with my cuteness. : )

Here’s the low down on the group. The fee to join is $99L. Shanti VIP’s get half off all new releases as well as monthly gifts and a monthly 100L gift card as a bonus! To join the group copy and paste this into local chat:

Here Comes the 4L Bride!

Love is in the air and SL’s wedding season approaches.  Valentine’s Day weddings have a been the seasonal kick off since the beginning of time (well, virtual time, anyway).  But, what’s a bride to do if she doesn’t have oodles of Linden to spend on her special day?  Never fear, Desi is here!

I set out to create an entire wedding outfit for less than 200L including dress, shoes, hair, flowers, jewelry, makeup, and a pose. I had two rules: the outfit would have to be something I would actually wear and the items couldn’t be part of a weekly/weekend special so they’d be available to our FabFree Readers if they wanted to check them out.  In the end, this amazing outfit only cost FOUR (4!) Linden!!! (Plus a group join fee!)

Assembling an elegant bridal package was a harder task than I could have imagined, but thanks to hints and tips from my blogging sister, Jacx Broome-Waverider, I ended up with a beautiful ensemble to reflect my own tastes in bridal finery.

First, I had to say yes to a dress.   I hopped on over to Siss Boom because I remembered seeing a white gown on the Lucky Boards.  You can read more about my obsession with Siss Boom‘s FREE no-group lucky boards here.  It took about 20 minutes, but HOORAY!  I found a beautiful simple white gown named Wayward.  It’s elegant and comes in two styles – sheer and solid.  I am wearing shear.  The solid version has modesty backing to the top.  Cost : FREE!!!

Dress Sizes:

• eBody Curvy
• Freya
• Hourglass
• Isis
• Physique
• Venus
• TMP

Next came hair.  Jacx reminded me that No-Match recently had a bun posted as the group gift. We teleported over to find a new group gift, but quickly made our way to the VIP room.  The group gift was not actually a bun, but, rather, hair attachments (called No-Embrace) that could be used with bridal hair. However, in perusing the fabulous room of VIP Gifts, I found No_You Rock which is my style of a messy but classy updo complete with pearls in it.  I paired that with the No-Embrace Pearls accessory to create a pretty head of hair for the wedding outfit.  Price: two free group gifts with 50L join.

I tried to find a nice veil for cheap, but didn’t score.  The ones I tested off of MP were, well, circa 2006.  I did, however, find a pretty Pearl and Pewter Tiara from Nightfairy.  You have to fiddle a little with it, but, overall, it works.  Cost: 1L

For jewelry, I stalked MP for a good hour to find something pretty.  I found two sets from Beloved that I liked, but settled on the Teardrop set in Silver because it matched the Tiara.  Cost: 1L

For flowers, I found a simple but pretty bouquet at Wedding Princesse on MP that is currently being offered as a dollarbie.  This really is a no-frills bouquet, but you only need it for a hot minute before the dancing begins!  Cost: 1L

For shoes, I found LaPerla’s Apple Sandal for Maitreya in White on MP.  They are simple and pretty, but you really can’t see them under the dress. Cost: 1L

Finally, to strike a pose for my official wedding album, Jacx sent me to MP to An Lar poses where for 0 Linden, I picked Like a Lady #4.  Cost: FREE!!!

Total Cost for this outfit and pose?  4L (plus 50L group fee for No-Match)

Halloween’d Out

Hey FabFree. So Halloween may be over, and believe it or not I am a bit Halloween’d out after the madness that was the last few weeks. Maybe more spooky posts will come from me, but it’s also time to slowly edge my way back to fall styles and prepareations for the winter season. 

Gifts for Today

Time for some gifts! 

• The cute purple pumpkin earrings an the shoes are a free FabFree gift at Princess Stuff. They have 3 FabFree gifts there in total, and this pack is the the newest one! I love purple so I had to show these. The shoes are sized for Belleza, Maitreya and Slink. 
• The great hair is another Midnight Madness gift at Moon. Simply join their group for 99L to get in the running for a new hair every night on the MM board. 
• Finally, my pose is a freebie from an lar [poses] on the Marketplace.

Classic Hottie

This will be a quickie. Of course I mean the car, being the “classic hottie” LOL. 😛

Picture For His Wallet

Back in the day, a man usually carried a pin-up picture of his girlfriend.  The real purpose of the picture was not the girlfriend. No, it really was a picture of his baby, the all-important classic car. To show all his buddies, his hot girlfriend, and his hotter car. What better way to be the hot girlfriend than in Legendaire Sally 2 Outfit. From the open overall style top to the distressed, decorated denim mini skirt, this outfit says “I’m a sexy babe.” Included are a 4 color hud, for both skirt and top, plus short booties (not shown.) The added perk of this hottie outfit is the price. 49L. Sale items have changed at Legendaire, so it’s a great time to pop over and check out what’s new.

Buckle Up Buttercup

Buckles, buckles everywhere. When picking up the Sally Outfit, right next to it was these awesome Legendaire Jolene boots. It was love at first sight. Included with the boots (sized for Belleza, Maitreya, Slink.) 2, 10 color huds. One to change the laces and buckles, one to change the base boot. Also on sale for 49L.

Chilly

I have the AC turned all the way up and I am starting to get chilly… I shouldn’t complain because I have everything I need here in my apartment, but let me just go grab a warm sweater and some stockings. I’ll be right back. 😉

Something to Keep You Warm

The adorable top and arm warmer I am wearing is the current group gift at MOoh! The MOoh! group costs 100 L to join, and there are so many benefits to this group! Every month, there is a brand new gift at MOoh!.

This amazing group gift for the month of April includes the top and arm warmer as separates, and you can change each piece to 14 different matching textures using a colour change hud.

Being a group member at MOoh! gives you access to a 150 L gift card every month, which has allowed me to collect quite a lot of lovely clothes from this amazing store over time. Remember to look at the credits at the bottom of my post to see all the details! 🙂
