Chasing the Sun

I’m sure you’re all aware at this point that August is soon coming to a close, and with it it shall take the summer (for the most part…September can still be a scorcher where I am!).  I’m enjoying every minute of those precious rays by strolling down the beach and probably wearing stuff that would make me sweaty in RL.  But you know my SL body doesn’t come with sweat glands, so it’s all good!

A Huge Hat is What You Need

There are so many great gifts at The Hair Fair, I’m sure you’ve been reading all about the goodness here on Fab Free.  I found a fun accessory at the Iconic booth – this enormous chapeau that flops ever so alluringly.  It comes with an extensive HUD to change to a whole host of tropical looks, but I kept it pretty basic with black trim and a cute saying.  And oh, yes.  it’s FREE!

She Still Shines

I have been in a bit of a latex mood recently, and though you might not normally wear this fabric to stroll on the sand, I say just go for it.  I picked up this slinky little dress over at Beauty Factory.  I joined their group for 99L and it was all mine.  There are several other great gifts there too, so the join fee is beyond worth it.  The Vanjie dress comes in both pink and black and is a whole lotta fun. I’ve included the vendor pic below so you can easily see all the details.

Feathers and Lace

I told you I’d be inching toward the realms of Halloween bit by bit… I’m just poking my toe in.  I know Pru is ready to go for it – but since I’m a Canuck, I feel like I need to exercise restraint until Canadian Thanksgiving rolls by next Monday.  So here I am, in black lace waving some fancy fans in a nonchalant kind of way…

So Sexay

Beauty Factory have been chucking the gifts about like nobody’s business recently.  Pru showed you this amazing bikini recently, but they’ve got another sexy number for you!  I joined the group for free and picked up this really lovely lace dress and knickers set.  It comes in both red and black.  You really can dress it up like crazy, or just slink around the house looking sultry all day!  I’d rush over there if I were you while the group is still free!

Enjoy the last day of September!

The Last Siren Song

Well Fab Free’rs, we have officially made it into autumn. The hot summer nights have begun to give way to balmy afternoons and cool crisp evenings. Truly it is the end of mermaid season in the Western Hemisphere. I like to imagine all the sirens migrate to warmer waters this time of year.

What has me waxing poetic about mermaids in late September? This gorgeous shell bikini is a current free group gift at Beauty Factory. Also, the Beauty Factory group is free to join until September 25th. So do not wait to pick this up! There are additional previous group gifts also available.

Sizes Included: Maitreya Lara, Belleza Freya, Slink Hourglass

I cant… I have mermaid stuff to do

Hey there FabFree!  Mermaid stuff seems to be all the rage this summer!!  It probably has something to do with that amazing Mermaid Cove event going on, but you can find awesome and affordable mermaid stuff all over the grid at other events and in mainstores too!

Try your luck, Little Mermaids!

This sexy cut Stesha Set by Safira for example is available at 75L per gacha play for Pocket Gacha at their store.  There are 10 commons in white, black, purple and pink with mermaid scales and solid options and 2 rares in a gorgeous mermaidy lavender shade that make up the set, but also an ultra rare that includes EVERYTHING so you can mix up your colours whenever you want with all the options!  There is a skirt that has a really sexy hiked up set to show off a little mercaboose, but clearly I had to take it off to go surfing.  I figure you can give a mermaid legs, but she’d probably still want to play in the water.  Maybe I’ll be as brave as Serena [HERE] and even stand up!

Glam Slam

Being glamorous in the summer is a tricky thing.  Pulling off makeup and perfect hair when the temperature is rising is always a difficult task.  And to top it all off, you’re in your bathing suit.  Luckily, we’ve got Second Life!  I can laze in my swimsuit, eyelashes fluttering nonchalantly without a drip of mascara running down my cheek.  And just as luckily, we have quite the wide array of bathing suits to choose from, which always fit properly – no change room horrors to be lived through with their glaring lights and unseemly mirrors!

Be the Queen

I found my bathing suit today – no change room horror to be had – at Queenz!  It’s a free group gift that comes in several different hues.  I went for the camouflage version – because why not think about the early 2000’s now and then! I particularly enjoy the straps that say “Girl Gang” on them in a very Gwen Stefani clothing line kind of way.  Join the group for free, and grab your gift (as well as a few others that are hanging out on the wall!)

Sizes

• Ebody
• Freya
• Hourglass

Heel Boy!

My shoes (which of course I can wear with a bathing suit in SL…) are a group gift at Beauty Factory.  They’re the type of shoes that you can save the world in, I think – I might be wrong, but they scream power to me!  They are super low cut, showing off a bit of toe cleavage (is that a thing?) and the thin heels are simply to die for.  These pumps are sized for Maitreya, Belleza and Slink .  Grab yours by joining the Beauty Factory group for 99 Lindens!

Now get out there, glamour girls!
