My heart is in Havana

Hey there Fabulous Readers! As you can see, I am in absolutely no rush to get into fall apparel yet.  I’ll be wearing my summer gear until the sun stops shining!  How about you?  Are you one of those jump ahead with boots and sweaters kind of people or the kind that drags out summer as long as they possibly can?  I suppose the fact that my winter is most of the year probably decides for me…  I take advantage of it as much as I can!

A sweater?  Forget it!  How about a compromise?

This 2 pc loose chunky knit set called Havana is available as a free group gift at Beautiful Dirty Rich with a free group join!  It’s a sort of sweater, right?  This set comes in a ton of mesh body fits and includes a texture change HUD that allows for tons of florals and solids to mix and match.  I added their vendor ad below so that you can see them all.

Sizes Included:

• Maitreya
• Slink Physique & Hourglass
• Belleza Freya, Isis & Venus
• eBody Curvy

My Necklace is also free!

Need a pretty bauble to add a little something extra to your new outfit?  Stop by FaMESHed!  At the landing point of the new round for September, you’ll find a cart full of free Fameshed group gifts by a selection of participating designers.  You might as well grab them all lol, but in one of those boxes you’ll find the chunky Eos Gold 2018 necklace shown on my avatar by Eurdora 3D for FREE!  You will need to join the FaMESHed inworld group to pick up these gifts, but the group is free – so score!

This must be just like livin’ in paradise

Apparently today is beach day here on FabFree. I woke up to both Aline and Kat enjoying the sun and sand, and here I am doing the same thing. But one can never have enough beachwear!

For my part, I’m showing off this super sexy one piece from Beautiful Dirty Rich. I’ve mentioned before how hot I think a one piece can be, and woo-wee is this one hot. I love how high the hips are cut and the back takes the word thong to a whole new level. It is BDR’s contribution to the Women Only Hunt, just head over to the store and find the hidden coconut to claim yours for free! There is a HUD to change the pattern to 6 different  colors and lots of sizes:

• Belleza Freya, Isis, & Venus
• Maitreya Lara
• Slink Hourglass & Physique
• Tonic Curvy & Fine
• 5 Classic Sizes, L-XXS

And now I’ll get back to enjoying the beach. You’ll tell me if there’s a giant wave coming, right? Taking pictures with your back to the ocean is dangerous for that reason. There’s a fine line between trying to look cute and hurrying up before a wave crashes right on top of you. The things we do for a great photo op at the beach…

Stolen Kisses, Pretty Lies

I mean, my awesome new skirt is called “Let the haters hate,” obviously my title needed to be Taylor Swift lyrics, right?

Smooches

Yesterday BDR set out a new free group gift and it’s soooo cute. You just need to join the free Beautiful Dirty Rich group and go down to the store to get this fab skirt. It comes with a HUD for lots of texture options like plaids and argyles and more. It can be worn in so many different way. I’m not popular enough to have haters, but if you are then I’m sure that they are totally going to hate this. In addition to the HUD, you’ll get the skirt sized for:

• Belleza Freya, Isis, and Venus

• Tonic Curvy and Fine
• 5 Classic sizes, L-XXS

Life’s A Road That You Travel On

Check me out! I’m a biker chick! Well, maybe not a biker chick…maybe more like a bike admirer? Yes, we’ll go with that.

Those Jeans Though

The jeans that I’m wearing are an oldie but a goodie. They are a free gift over at Beautiful Dirty Rich and no group join is required (although if you do join the free group, there are a bunch of group gifts to be had as well). I think a good pair of applier jeans is a necessity in any inventory, and these are fantastic with rips in all the right places. If you fancy your jeans without rips, there are some of those available as well and an assortment of other gifts, all for 0L or 1L. The destroyed jeans come with appliers for:

• TMP
• Maitreya
• Physique
• Phat Azz (is that even a thing anymore?)
• And if all else fails, there is an Omega applier as well

I want to ride my bike

This motorcyle is awesome AND it’s only 10L on the marketplace. Confession time…I don’t know much about motorcycles, which is doubly bad because I used to be an owner of a bike shop and have many, many used-to-be-awesome-but-now-outdated motorcycles in my inventory. Although to be fair, my ownership was purely symbolic because I was an owner in all of our other groups at the time. I’m pretty sure I didn’t even have perms on most anything. haha But I digress…as I was saying, I don’t know much about bikes, but I know enough to know that this one is really great. It is fully functional and comes with a driver HUD. For 10L. Pretty sweet deal.

It’s A Random Cold Day

Hello Fabulouses!  Yep, it’s just another random cold day here in Canada and it appears to be cold today inworld too!  Of course that is depending on which sim you are standing on at the moment.  I took some time to visit Angel Bay which is a lovely Italian style sim with a couple of seasons happening if you travel far enough.  There are plenty of interesting faces on this sim as well and as I was taking this shot, Flickr Artist Frenchy25 took a snap too and included me in his digital art.  You can see it [HERE].  Thank you for taking my photo Frenchy25, and it was a pleasure meeting you.

So…  About My Sweater

Fall Feelings

Hello there Fab Free’rs! Can you believe it’s almost October!? I’m so ready for all things fall I can barely contain my excitement. Needless to say when I saw this incredibly girly coat from Vintage Touch, I had to share it with you. The coat is the current group gift at Vintage Touch and it comes in standard mesh sizes and one fitmesh. I love the style and the pattern of this coat/dress. The rose pattern reminds me of vintage English Tea Rose patterns that always catch my eye. The gift also comes with some stockings in a classic system layer, and an Omega applier that I did not show. I chose to throw on a pair of jeans and boots to wear the gift as a coat rather than a dress. To add this pretty coat to your own wardrobe, you’ll need to join the Vintage Touch in-world group. The Vintage Touch group is 1 linden to join.
To go along with my fancy new coat, I picked up this pretty pink crystal necklace from Imbue. There are several group gifts available at Imbue, this simple yet pretty necklace is the most recent. Like tea roses, I’m kind of a sucker for crystals. The necklace comes in a rigged and unrigged mesh version, and you have the option of either a gold or silver pendant. Both are strung on a thin black cord. To get this gift at Imbue, simply join their updates group in world. There is a one time fee of 50 lindens, however the gifts currently available are worth the fee.

Here are the details, Enjoy!

Beautiful Free

Hello Hello Fab Free’rs! Welcome back. I’m not going to kid you, there are days when I seriously want to wear my hair like this, just in my face. Sometimes I think I might pull it off too. This sassy hairstyle by Love Hair is a FREE Lucky Board prize at the Sanarae event. You’ll need to join the Sanarae group to participate in the Lucky Boards, but don’t fret, the group is FREE to join. This LB prize includes the hairstyle shown in the ombre color shown as well as a blonde to bright red ombre color, not shown.

This cool casual one-piece is a FREE “tester” outfit available at Beautiful Dirty Rich. It is a wearable demo that allows you to test out the colors of the clothing at Beautiful Dirty Rich. They’ve begun a new “mix and match” system allowing customers to mix and match the colors of some of the newer outfits. This tester outfit gives everyone the ability to really see how the wide range of colors look once worn. I think this idea is really fantastic, and the outfit is really cute too! This FREE wearable demo comes with a fat pack of appliers in every color available. It also includes classic system layers in every color. The colors shown are white, grey, black, jet black, and red. There are so many ways I think this one-piece is truly wearable. I like it as-is, but it could easily be worn with a skirt or under some cute running shorts for an athletic look. There’s no need to join a group, just buy the Mix & Match Tester outfit located in the New Releases section of the Beautiful Dirty Rich store.

Lastly, the five static poses are not only a great way for me to show you some of the colors available with the tester outfit at BDR, they are great poses; especially when you consider they are just one linden. This pose pack from Exposeur is listed as their February 2016 group gift on the Marketplace and can be purchased for just one linden. The set includes all 5 static poses shown, and a mirrored version of each pose for a total of 10 poses.

Here are the details, Enjoy!
