As I was looking around the grid for deals for the guys I found Gabriel, a men’s fashion staple in Second Life. Not only have they been around since 2009, their quality is amazing. I also discovered that this designer is very generous by providing a small store of freeitems that anybody would be proud to wear.
Most of the freebies are clothes that are not rigged for a specific mesh body however unless you have a very large muscular shape you shouldn’t have trouble wearing them.
Make sure you check out the main store as they also have a 1L section with even more great fashions and many 50% off items.

Sometimes you need to get back to nature, to breath the fresh air, and clear out the mind from all the stress of the holidays. Vinnie decided to take a drive and found himself up on a hill overlooking the city, he didn’t get a picture of the city because he was too busy taking selfies, smh he is soo full of himself.
I don’t blame him though as he is looking pretty good with all the free and low-cost options for men, seems like the designers have finally realized that men need more cute clothes (don’t tell him I called them cute) and of course nice-looking skin. We can’t hog all the hotness right ladies????
The Men Only Event (I ain’t even mad it’s for men only) has a bunch of free gifts and you still have until the 15th to get them all. Vinnie is wearing the free sweater offered by Gasoline and because it was cold he brought the beanie he picked up as a free group gift from Mazzaro, I am just loving the bright colors!!. He got himself a booboo somehow and just like a man slapped some tape over it which he also picked up at the Men Only Event as a free gift.

I have noticed the in the last couple of months there has been more and more men’s items on the sales which I am glad to see. Men have been underserviced when it comes to SL fashion. Now there are at least two monthly events that are just for them. So even if you don’t have the funds to buy expensive fatpacks you can be patient and build your wardrobe one item at a time.
On the Happy Weekend Sales I saw these great blazers from Volver for only 60L per color, each color includes a turtle neck that has a color change hud included. You can dress up any pair of pants with a smart blazer, so you will want to get yourself one in your favorite color.

I want to introduce Vinny, he will be helping me blog items for men. We have some great free items to show you today!!!
Last week Lelutka announced that they are giving away a free male & female mesh head, I highly recommend you go get one even if your not planning to make a change, just in case you change your mind later. There are several designers giving away gifts as part of a Holiday Special sponsored by Lelutka.
Vinny is wearing the free Quinn Lelutka head, free skin from Not Found, and free hairbase from Addon as part of the Holiday Special. These are high quality designers giving away free gifts, so take advantage while they are still avaialble.
His outfit is from Decision which has several free group gifts out for men.

What a beautiful day for a bike ride, especially with your best friend and hubby! If you haven’t explored Bellisseria then I highly recommend that you do so. Bellisseria continent is home to the second generation of Linden Homes. It occupies a large portion of land which covers more than 1,500 regions with expansions happening all the time. As a premium member of SL you can get a home in any of the area’s in Bellisseria, I have a lovely home in the Victorian themed area. One the of the best parts of exploring this area is you can ride your bike for miles and miles or hours and hours as the regions are all connected either by roads or sea. You can rezz a bike or car HERE and have your own adventure.
You have to be in the right clothing if your going for a bike ride. My shorts are a free gift from Catarsis, I am loving the faded cameo print. Not be outdone by me, Shep picked up this free tracksuit from Courtyard, they have quite a few gifts there for the guys.

Happy Tuesday, FabFree! I don’t have much to say tonight other than I went with a different look this evening. I’m not exactly a lover of pink but I’m feeling it today! Let’s look at what I found to make up this pink, black and animal-print outfit.
Elma
Amui gives a free150L Gift Card every month to their group members, and their group is currently free to join. However, the gift card is only available until September 15th, so you only have two more days left to get it. Go ASAP so you don’t miss it. The gift card expires quickly too, so check the expiry date when you get it. I suggest you spend the card right away so you don’t forget about it (I have made this mistake too many times). I picked the “Elma” jumpsuit. It comes with a transparent top and an animal print base. You can get this version of the jumpsuit in black with the gift card and still have 50L left over to buy something else in the store. There are other singles colour options available to pick too. It also comes in a fatpack option which has many more colour and texture options and if you go that route you can save 50% on the item by covering half of the cost with the card.

My pretty lipgloss is a current free group gift at Tutti Belli. You will find it in the middle of the mainstore with a “free gift” prim floating over it. Simply join their free group and click the prim and it will send a full pack of natural lip shades.

A Little Heart
The small BOM tattoo of a heart on my chest is a freegroup gift at Blurr. Their group is free to join and they have several other group gifts too. The tattoo is tintable, so I made mine black.

In the last two-and-a-half years that I have served as a FabFree blogger, I’ve had the opportunity to get to know some absolutely amazing people! Today, I am talking about the FabFree team – and to me that includes all the great bloggers who have passed through the blog over the years. We (the FabFree bloggers) had the funniest inside joke last year about pumpkins. You see, when fall creeps around the corner there are ALOT of pumpkins to get all over the grid for free for about two months. Of course, we must show them to you! As a joke, we would say to each other: “No more pumpkins!!”, because the bloggers had shown off a copious amount of them last fall. It was hilarious to us! But, the thing is… I never get tired of pumpkins! I love pumpkin soup, pie, bread, and lattes. Most of all, I LOVE to decorate my spaces in my Second Life with fall pumpkins and carved Halloween pumpkins! It’s still such a funny story though, and I wanted to let you in on one of the FabFree bloggers’ inside jokes. Do you think we can top the number of freepumpkins we showed last year on the blog? Let us know in the comments if you want to see more pumpkins this year!
A Free Pumpkin
And so the free pumpkin season begins! I have a free pumpkin for you! The freebie pumpkin is the one I am holding in both of my photos today. It’s a holdable item and it can also be rezzed. You can see the rezzed version of it on the left side of my photo at the top. This pumpkin is a free gift from -Extra- at the Fall Festival at Malus Park. No group is needed to get it! This event closes on October 1st.
An Autumn Hair Trivia Hunt
Now head over to the Autumn is Coming Event to grab the hairstyle I am showing in my post today. This hair comes from the Treasure Trivia Hunt run by Alli&Ali Designs taking place at Autumn is Coming until September 26th. This style is called “Ava” and it includes a HUD of autumn colors and styling options that lets you make the hair go over your shoulder, behind your back, or blow in the wind. You can see how I wore two of the four styles in my looks above and below! To get the treasure hunt items, first you must find all of the treasure chests hidden around the sim. When you click the ones that are on the treasure hunt, it will ask you a trivia question. When you get the answer right, the chest send you a free hair made by Alli&Ali Designs. In total, there are 17 hairstyles to collect from the Trivia Treasure hunt, which all come with an autumn colours hair colour hud. There are both female and male hairstyles on this hunt. The 18th prize on the treasure trivia hunt is some leaves decor. All of the free hair from Alli&Ali Designs comes from the treasure chests that pop up those trivia questions! For the trivia lovers out there, this is a fun little hunt!
As you walk around the Autumn is Coming Event, you will notice that many of the treasure chests simply send you the items for free, as these are the main event gifts from the other designers. Make sure you read Aline’s post here which shows some of the freegifts you can get from this fun pre-Autumn event!
A Snarky Top
Lastly, the cute top I am wearing is 10L at the Spoonful of Sugar Festival right here. This one is made by ZFG, one of SL’s wittiest creators. It’s very sarcastic. Read what the shirt says in my photo above, it’s funny. You will find this 10L prize in the coconut sugar bowl with the toucan on it. 100% of the proceeds of this item goes to Doctors Without Borders, and everything at the Spoonful of Sugar Festival is available from September 3rd-September 18th. You can read more about the Spoonful of Sugar Festival in my previous post here.

Good afternoon, FabFree! I found the perfect hunt for the procrastinators out there, because it lasts not only a month… but 80 whole days! It’s been going on for a while already and there’s still time to catch up on it. I’m talking about the Around The Grid in 80 Days Hunt, run by Fun With Hunts. This hunt is perfect for me because I am always behind schedule and running late to events and hunts. I’m guessing some of you may be able to relate to the procrastination life!
I am wearing the following prizes from the hunt, and each prize costs only 1L.
The fantastic top is the prize from The Bold Llama T-Shirt Co. Written on it is the saying, “I Love You To the Moon & Back”. I thought it was so cute. This is one of my favourite sayings because I think of a few special people in my life I love the most when I hear it. The shirt fits Lara, Legacy, Freya, Isis, Venus, Hourglass, Physique, Ebody Classic, Ocacin, TMP, Tonic Curvy & Fine, and Standard Sizes.
The adorable shorts are the 1L prize from ZFG, which is one of my favourite stores of all time. These shorts are a fatpack, which includes a colour hud that allows you to change the main colour to several basic colours like black, beige, purple, red, etc. Each version of the shorts comes with a black band/lining. They are very comfy and what a great deal for only 1L! The shorts fit Erika, Freya, Kupra, Hourglass, Legacy, Maitreya and Reborn.
Lastly, the ridiculously cute boots are the prize from Poeme Couture. They come in brown with a fun retro pattern on them. They are so well made and the texture is fab as always with this creative designer. These are resizable boots that you can adjust to fit any feet!
The hunt officially ends on September 30th, 80 days from when the hunt started. The list of hints and prize previews can be found here. All prizes are 1L. If you can’t be bothered finding the hints and the prizes hidden at each location, you also have the option to buy each hunt prize for 25L.
Ah, September… the month of new beginnings and a new school year is almost upon us. It’s the first day back to school over here where I live! Sometimes I wish I could just go back to school and re-live my college years. Sure, school sucks sometimes and it’s a lot of hard work… but I loved walking around the University quad with a coffee in hand, venturing off to my next lecture and absorbing my mind in the world of higher education. In all honesty, I didn’t have many responsibilities back then besides dedicating myself to learning more about the world. I just loved learning, reading, and discussing ideas, so being in College/University was one of the best times in my life!
…Fast Forward to November
I am an odd one for wanting to go back to school, huh? Well, I am also a bit strange when it comes to my opinions about the seasons of the year. Despite loving the summer months and the time I get off every year, I have a stronger fondness for the Fall. Once September starts, everything becomes a blur with how crazy school and work always becomes! I am sure you can relate. However, I just love fall; it always makes me feel warm inside. Bring on pumpkin season! I am definitely one of those people who waits for pumpkin-spice lattes and Halloween in August. This sweater and skirt outfit I have on in the photo below reminds me of the month of November because it has poppies on it and it looks warm and comfy. This is my type of clothing style! I always prefer fall and winter clothes in both RL and SL, and I simply love this outfit for its fall vibes.
Get to the point, Caroline!
Well, this has been a fun and poetic exploration of my views about life, higher learning, and the seasons. Now I have two amazing outfits, poses and shoes to show you in my post today, so let’s look at what I found to bring in the fall season!
Two Lovely Limited-Time Outfits
Ari-Pari is the clothing store I am featuring today, and they are currently in the middle of renovating their store. You will find the two gifts shown in my post today at the Ari-Pari Temporary Location, which is right HERE. Ariana was so kind that she left out a group gift and a hunt prize from last August a wee bit longer for us, so that no one would miss out. The two lovely outfits shown in my post today are available for a limited period of time at the Ari-Pari Temporary Location, a skybox that will be open until mid-September. They are only available for another week or two, so I suggest everyone go now to get them before these great gifts disappear for good.
First, the school uniform shown in the first picture is a 1L promo at the Ari- Pari Temporary Location. The outfit includes a hud with 10 colour options to change the colour of the skirt and necktie. The base of this school uniform outfit is white. This dollarbie promo was a hunt prize for last month’s Back to School Hunt (which has now ended), but Ari-Pari is keeping this little gem out to grab for a couple more weeks into September due to the store closure in August. Now it only costs 1L and no hunting is required- just look for the PROMO sign and pay the vendor 1L to get the outfit for cheap!
Sizes Included (School Uniform)
Lara
Freya
Isis
Hourglass
Secondly, the pretty poppy-patterned sweater and black skirt with a belt shown in the second photo is the August group gift for group members of the Ari-Pari group. This gift is available for a limited-time. Go get it at the Ari-Pari Temporary Location while it’s still available! Note that there is a group join fee of 25L, but new limited-time monthly group gifts are regularly released for Ari-Pari group members. This outfit includes a colour-change hud for the sweater and the belt, which you can change to 4 different colour and pattern options. The black skirt can be worn with gold or silver metal belt options.
Sizes Included (Poppy Outfit)
Freya
Lara
Hourglass
The Ari-Pari Temporary Location will be open until mid- September, and I expect these gifts will no longer be available after it closes so go ASAP to get these limited-time promos and gifts! There will be even more group gifts and goodies coming out later when the main store re-opens after renovations, so stay tuned for the upcoming store re-opening!
Two 5L deals from Pacagaia
I have a few more fab deals to share that make up the rest of my look in my welcome-to-fall post today.
The poses, coffee, and cell phone shown in both photos come from a great set of bento poses, which costs only 5L from Pacagaia on the Marketplace.
The great shoes are another item that only costs 5L from Pacagaia on the Marketplace. These shoes fit Belleza, Maitreya and Slink feet. These are a full fatpack, which includes a hud to change the colours of the shoe (the top and the base) to 25 different textures. They are fantastic! Shout out to FabFree reader Aurora for showing me these – I just love ’em. 🙂
Enjoy, FabFree!

It’s time to show a bit of late-summer unicorn love! I’m not sure if that’s a thing, but it should be. Unicorns seem like the type of creature that would hang out together during a summer sunrise, and we don’t have too many of those left this year, so I decided to join them to enjoy the last days of the summer season while I still can.
Peggy
First off on the list of great gifts and prizes I have to show you today, is the latest free group gift from [WellMade]. The “Peggy” outfit includes a corset top with laces and shorts. See a closeup of the textures below. I chose to wear it in black but you can wear both pieces in pink, white, cream, or red as well. You can change the colours of the metals on both pieces as well. It’s a super cute set! [WellMade]‘s group is currently free to join, so get in the group and get all the group gifts ASAP because they are all FABULOUS!

The awesome shoes I added to this outfit are a free gift at a new-to-me store called Kakoia. Simply pay the Kalista vendor 1L and your 1L will be refunded, or hit “deliver” using the menu and they will send to you for free (no group join required). The shoes come with a hud that allows you to change each part of the shoe to 10 different colours, and there are glowing neon textures that run through them.
Sizes Included
Belleza
Maitreya
Slink
Now let’s take an up-close look at the hair and eyeshadow I am wearing today. The the hair is a lucky board prize for a VIP group and the eyeshadow is free…
Molly
My wonderful hairstyle is the current lucky board prize at Moon. You must be a group member to play the lucky board. Moon‘s VIP group costs 350L to join. I was lucky enough to win it! The prize is a “buy all pack”, which includes a style hud and a colour change hud with 4 tabs of gorgeous hair textures. This is one of my favourite hairstyles I have ever collected, and I am super happy with it!
Soiree
Finally, the lovely eyeshadow is a free gift from TheSkinnery for the Uber Anniversary. It comes in a pack of several colours. This gift is free at their mainstore until September 22nd. Please read Aline’s post here to find out more details about the event, and to access the gift list she created for us!
