Resting Witch Face

Hello hello Fab Free! Don’t worry, I’m not really gloomy. I just have “Resting Witch Face.” I’m sure some of you can relate to this. I’ve often been told I look upset or even angry when I am genuinely not. I just happen to look that way. So when I saw this FREE Subscriber gift tumbler from Astralia, I had to have it. Admittedly the rest of this look is inspired by the travel mug that cheekily reads “Resting Witch Face” with an arrow pointing up. To get your copy simply head over to Astralia and join their subscriber, then click the gift vendor and the cup will be sent to you.

The TRUTH

This hairstyle, much like Pru’s facial expression, is rather witchy if I do say so myself! These cropped curls are the September Group Gift for TRUTH VIP Group members. As with all the group gifts from TRUTH, this one is a fatpack. Additionally it has a stylist hud so you can change up the style of the hair. I went with this little side braid. I think I’ll be wearing it for a while. Currently the TRUTH VIP group is 350 linden to join.

Cubic Cherries

The top and the bindi Pru has on are both recent group gifts at Cubic Cherry. I think there was even another group gift sent out in the group notices today! I know there are several available at the store. Anyway, I digress, this top is really cute if you’re going for a casual goth look. It comes in a single mesh size (which I think is meant for TMP and could easily be unisex), and in 4 color variations, black & white (shown), black & red, white & black, and white & red. The top fits like a slouchy over-sized tee on my shape/body, which I’m totally okay with. The second gift is the triangular Norse bindi. I like bindis in general, but I think this one is very cool because it’s different from a lot of the ones I am used to seeing. This Cubic Cherry gift comes in black (shown), brass, gold, and silver. At this time the Cubic Cherry group is 66 linden to join.

So Sweet You’ll Get A Toothache

Sugar Free – Calorie Free – Cost Free

Hey there Fabulouses! If you don’t happen to have 410 spare calories for the real life limited time Unicorn Frappuccino that Starbucks has just released, don’t fret!  You can live  out your wildest full fat, triple the sugar fantasies here in Second Life!

Astralia wants you to have a calorie free Cute Frappuccino as a free subscribing gift. This gift contains a static and holdable cup so you can set it down, or hold it to drink if you like.  I haven’t actually tried one of these…  I usually just go for my Caramel Macchiato, which is already really sweet.  The pink and blue magical drink is pretty, but looks a little sweet, even for my threshold of sugary goodness.  Have you tried it?  I’m curious what it tastes like!

On A Clothing Note…

The breezy summer outfit I am wearing today is called Willow and is available at MOoH!, priced at 40% off until May 4th.  This brings it down to 99L, but if you still have your monthly group credit handy, you can pick it up  for free – with 51 lindens left to spare on your card!

A Little Whimsy

The Teleport Hub

Yesterday I was cleaning out my inventory… and with it, lots of notecards. I came across one that was a bit old, and wondered if the gift that was listed at More Than Ever was still available. It looked whimsical, flowery, pretty… and with all the cold weather posts… like something that would really cheer me up!

So I took a chance and teleported over to More Than Ever to take a peek and found that the gift was still out. This Hepburn Rose Dress in Plum is a Teleport Hub gift. You join the Teleport Hub for just 10L and you can get gifts from stores all over the grid! Just check the notices to see what’s available. For just 10 tiny linden, it’s well worth the small join fee.

The dress…

I picked up my dress and brought it home to unpack it, and instantly fell in love. It has a glittery purple top, a wide belted waist, and a skirt that is opaque at the hips, but leads down into a glittery flowered swirl of transparent prettiness. It’s whimsical and lovely and made me think of sunshine and spring.

It was also versatile and included a variety of sizes:

• Fitmesh XS – XL
• Maitreya
• Belleza
• Slink

Time for a little exploring.

I don’t always take time to share the sims I visit with you, but this dress made me want to visit something fanciful, so I took to the destination guide to try to find something to suit my mood.

I clicked on “Photogenic Spots” and Astralia popped up. A couple of lines from the description say that Astrialia is “an astral surreal landscape for photographers and art lovers.” And that while, “Nothing was in place according to logic and common sense, everything was in order according to the soul.”

I took a look around after the landscape rezzed in, and found myself spending far more time than it took to just take my picture. It’s a sim worth visiting if you find yourself with a little spare time and feeling a little introspective. I’ve gone back today to finish writing this post (I took my picture yesterday), just so I could see the sim as I sit here to tap out my words to you.

It made me think I need to expand my horizons a bit as far as photographs go. I think sometimes we stick with the familiar and don’t explore enough. I’m ready to branch out a bit… I hope you don’t mind, dear FabFree readers.

I want to take you on an adventure… don’t worry. Freebies will be the breadcrumbs that lead the way 😉

Bee Sweet

Hello Fab Free! Thanks for stopping by! I have to tell you, I’m really enjoying this round of Kustom 9, so many cool things to be had at really affordable prices. Not to mention there are tons of FREE Second Life’s 13th Birthday gifts! I love slightly smaller events like Kustom 9 as well, they are easier to navigate and you can be certain you’re not missing anything.
The moment I saw the ad for the Aquarium Heels gacha at the Kustom 9 Astralia booth, I had to have them. It was a true, “take my money now” moment! At just 69 lindens per play, I felt I could do no wrong. I love this style of shoe, and the Rare pair are more than worth the effort in my opinion. There’s something fun and whimsical about having a mini aquarium in your heels! The Rare pair includes a color/style change hud that allows you to pick between several colors, and change between the slip on style shown and a flipflop/thong style. These shoes fit Slink High feet.

Additionally, Astralia has a Second Life’s 13th Birthday gift out at their Kustom 9 booth. This FREE gift is an adorable bumble bee themed jewelry set that includes earrings and a necklace. Included with this gift is a color change hud to adjust the color of the metal between 4 options, and the gemstone in the necklace between 3 options. Each piece is also able to be re-sized by touch menu.

Another of the FREE SL13B gifts I picked up while at Kustom 9 is this cute hairstyle from Beusy. These double bun style up-do’s are so popular for the summer, and I can see why! With this FREE gift you’ll get the hairstyle and a color change hud that has 9 natural hair colors to choose from. Also, the hair is set up to be re-sized via touch menu for easy fitting.

Finally, I added this cute black and yellow striped nail polish to tie the whole look together. The polish is a dollarbie from TASHI that I found available on the Marketplace. This playful single color nail applier set includes appliers for Maitreya, Omega, TMP, and Belleza nails.

Here are the details, Enjoy!

Dragon For a Day

I decided to be a dragon for a day…

My look was actually inspired by the newest FREE group gift from [EvelineInTheBox]. The group is FREE to join and then you can pick up this amazing little black dress called Talena. It comes in all the standard sizes as well as Maitreya and TMP. I warn you, it’s really really short… but I LOVE the styling and details and the swirly black sequins. They are to die for… or to dragon for 😉

I snagged a set of dragon wings for only 69L at Astralia. They have an in-store gacha that is FAB FAB FAB!!! The Khaleesi dragon wings are high detail and include a hud that lets you change the color of the claws on the wings. YUM! For 69L a spin, these are a deal!

I finished my look off with the FREE Summer Fun Gift hair for yesterday/today at Alice Project called Oona. It is scheduled to be changed out around 2 or 3pm SLT today and there will be a new FREE gift hair out at that time. Then this one will be only available to group members after that time. If you want to join the Alice Project group, that is a 375L group fee, but right now it is definitely worth it, as you get an extra gift each day in a natural set of colors in addition to the FREE to all gifts that are being set out. For more information on the Alice Project Gifts see my previous post [HERE].

Have a Fabulous day! ❤

Warrior Fey

I have been led merrily up the garden path today. The Gacha Garden, that is!

The Gacha Garden is a month long Gacha event set in a lovely fairy tale garden and I did find a Fairy. A tough Warrior Fairy archer who will fill you full of arrows if you set a foot wrong in her forest. This is the Warrior fairy set from Astralia. The set includes the gorgeous Rare wings with a HUD to change the colors, a quiver in 2 colors, a set of arrows, a single arrow. the antlers and a set of small wings. And last but most special: a vine entwined bow.  I say special because the bow is only available if you play the single machine twenty times. The special twenty play items are called “Seeds of Inspiration”. And each machine has one. Check out the website for all the details on this special play.

As I was wandering the garden path, I saw this lovely golden tiara at the Axix machine and I knew it would go perfectly with my warrior fairy. There are three designs available for the Zaria Crown, one with just the crown, one with the crown and the flowers ( with a color change HUD) that I’m showing you and the Rares which have the flowers and a drape of pearls.

Last but not least, I needed an action pose for my warrior girl. NC had this well built pose called “Hunting” on the Marketplace for a mere 10L. I think it works really well. Then I needed a good pose to show off the new bow…  Verocity had the ‘Isis Pose’ set on sale for only 1L on their Marketplace. This is a sixe pose set that includes it’s own prop bow. I think I’m set.

 

The Gacha Garden Event runs until November 30, so don’t delay! Your Taxi to the Garden Gacha Event -> http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/The%20Gacha%20Garden/130/224/21
