Going Coconuts

It’s time for a bit of getaway.  I’m going for a bit of a 1950s beach look, but entirely and completely not 1950’s at the same time.  Does that make sense?  It’s one of those moments where you mix your ideas together so hard that you’re really not sure what you’ve come up with, but you like it anyway.  Whatever this is, it’s fun – let’s dive into the details!

A Little 2MUCH

This cute bathing suit from Apple Blossom is the group gift over at the 2MUCH event.  Join their group for free and it’s all yours! It also comes with an HUD that gives you the option to add some sleeves if that’s what you’re in the mood for.  The 2MUCH event runs until February 16th, so don’t leave it too long!

Sizes

• Freya
• Isis

In the Bag

This classic bag that contains all my obviously essential beach needs (aka 7 fashion magazines and money for drinks in coconuts) is the latest group gift from Vive Nine.  There are two different versions in the box (the other one has wads of money sticking out of it), and so many different hold options that range from girly to dainty to even a rezzable option.  Cool!  The Vive Nine group is free to join, so go grab yours!

Feeling at Home

I was poked the other day with information about this pretty location called Caribbean Homes! They aim to provide free homes for residents of Second Life, and even some affordable rent options.  You can set your home to here or chill on the dance floor and wander about in the beachy atmosphere.   So just to reiterate, yes…there are FREE homes here that you can live in!  If you want to know more, swing by Caribbean Homes, and join their group to find out more about this lovely little community that aims to give back to SL.

Join their group by copying and pasting this link in local chat:  secondlife:///app/group/2b3f464a-9110-b373-8639-bedf20c2b4f8/about

Now, where’s my coconut drink?

All the Blossoms

In the cold depths of January, all I can really think of is a bit of sunshine and warmth.  It’s been grey in my part of the world for the past forever weeks, and so the thought of sunshine and delicate cherry blossoms warms my insides a bit.  It’s all I can think of!

Blossoms

Apple Blossom just put out a new group gift for members of the Second Life Frees and Offers group (SLFO)! The group is free to join, and with it you can access to lots of quite lovely gifts.  There are two different versions of this dress available for members – this one I’ve got on as well as a plain pink one.  You can also wear it with or without sleeves, if that’s your thang!  It’s sexy and cute all at the same time, which makes me one happy camper.

Belle

Belle Époque have also put a new free gift out for members of the SLFO group:  a lovely set of bento nails.  They come in some really cool holographic-esque colours, and I think you can make them work with loads of different looks.  They come rigged for Maitreya and Legacy hands.  Again, this group is free to join, making these nails entirely free!

I’m not going back to the cold!  NEVAHHHH!

Women seem wicked

Faces come out of the rain

When you’re alone, can you hear the wind howling through the dead branches on that old tree swaying in the backyard? Can you hear the hiss of the little black cats circling your door looking for an unlucky place to lay their heads for the night? Can you hear the cackles of the silhouettes that cross the full moon riding their broomsticks? Do you hear something tapping, gently rapping on your chamber door, or is it silenced by the faces that come out of the rain evermore?

 

Apple Blossom has a free gift out at the Halloween Shop & Hop event and its spooktastic! It comes with a hud so this 1 piece top and bottom because 3 different outfits! The Ciel Halloween Edition color options come in (pictured above) Spiderwebs/bats, Colorful Skulls, and Ghosts.

Wishing You Healing & Positivity

Happy Monday, Fab Free! I hope everyone is keeping safe and healthy. I’ve been feeling a lot of negativity in real life right now due to COVID-19 taking over the world… but I hope we can all look on the bright side, stay positive and try to have fun this week. On that note, I also want to send best wishes and healing to all the victims who are being affected by the virus right now. Let’s all stay inside, get cozy and protect ourselves by doing a little bit of fabulously free shopping in the comfort of our homes.

Spring Healing

Have I ever mentioned that my favourite colour is purple? In spiritual communities, purple or violet represents spiritual awareness and in Chakra healing, it is believed that the energy of this colour helps one become more aware of oneself and others around you. During this difficult time, maybe what we all need is a bit more purple in our lives. Violet and purple also remind of Spring- which is almost here- so let’s celebrate to that! To cheer myself up I’ve put together a lovely matching violet outfit, and I hope that it makes you feel better too!

You can pick up a gorgeous Violet “Barcelona jumpsuit” at Apple Blossom and Seeds. This gift is only available at their satellite store at the good place sim, not at their mainstore. The group is free to join. I am not sure how long this gift will be available so go quickly.

Sizes included

• Belleza Freya
• Maitreya
• Legacy

Suami

I paired the jumpsuit with the Suami Heels, my go-to pair of shoes with virtually any outfit. These amazing heels are a group gift at KC Couture. Their group is only 25L to join and you get access to a bunch of wonderful shoes, anklets, sandals and heels. Suami is my fave! There was a nice purple option that matched the Barcelona Jumpsuit perfectly, and you can change these heels to many colours to match any outfit in your inventory!

Stay safe and I am sending healing to you all.
xx

Look to the Heavens

You guys know that anything covered with stars, the universe, moons or a little bit of the heavens makes me feel pretty, right?  I’m sure I’ve probably waxed poetic about it on here before, but I’ll just do it again, because why not.  I can’t say no to anything with the swirling firmament on it, and if you can’t either, then read on cuz I’ve got you a freebie!

Be Unik

This month’s round of Unik has this lovely dress by Apple Bottom as it’s group gift!  It makes me think about peering into the depths of space, and who knows, even having someone name a star after me.  You know, something weird and romantic!  I picked this pretty number up by joining the Unik group for FREE, then clicking on the vendor (there’s another gift there too, so don’t miss that one!).  There are two versions of the dress in the box, just in case you prefer something a bit plainer!  The Unik Event is open one final week, so head over there!

Sizes

• Freya
• Isis
• Maitreya

Just Breathe

There is also a new group gift over at Breathe!  The purveyors of really nice shoes have put out a gift for all group members closer to the back of the store.  Just join the Breathe group for free, then find the poster in the back room.  These cute lace-up heels come with an HUD to change to all sorts of great colours (you can do separate colours for the laces and heels to mix and match for fun) and they are sized for Belleza, Maitreya and Slink.

So, who’s going to name a star after me?

Hoop Dreams

Hey There Fab Free’rs! Thanks for being here. One of the many things I enjoy about Second Life is that you really can be anything at any time. Today I was a skilled basketball player with who could command the court. Thanks to my guy Blue who pointed out this cool pose by PO^Z, and thanks to this free group gift dress by Apple Blossom, Pru even looks the part.

The Pose – This static basketball pose by PO^Z is called “Bring It On” and can be found at the PO^Z main store for just 65 linden. This bento pose includes the basketball, and the pose. There’s even a pose ball version of the pose included as well. You can also purchase the pose from PO^Z for the same 65 linden price on the Marketplace.

The Dress – This cute dress by Apple Blossom is a free group gift. It comes in several sizes and you can pick it up in navy (shown) and turquoise. The Apple Blossom group is free to join at this time, and there is a sim-wide spring sale happening. From now until March 31, everything except gachas at the Apple Blossom store is marked 50% off.

Sizes Included: Maitreya Lara, Slink Hourglass, Belleza (Freya, Isis)
