Not the Birthday Girl

It’s not my birthday, nor is my birthday close, but today I feel a bit like the birthday girl.  I love days when I get to wear a crown, be the centre of attention and have people lavish me with cupcakes.  I feel like I could get used to this, for no special reason other than some days it’s good to celebrate being alive and being a day wiser.

It’s Fab and it’s Free

I’m showing off two FabFree group gifts today, because when  you look through our listing HERE you’ll note that there really are some awesome free things to pick up.  My first stop was No Shot where I grabbed this cute tee.  There are also male sizes in the box, so it’s good for our Fab gents too!  Plus I think this may just be my new motto.  I also swung by Birth to grab their FabFree group gift, which is this cool crown.  It comes in two different versions – this one that sits right atop my head, or an animated spinning one which is quite the conversation starter.  Of course, the FabFree group is always free to join and our gifts are always being updated.

Journal Musing

I was having a conversation with Arielle yesterday about how much we both love stationery.  I am the sticker queen (I have far too many to ever use, but they just make me happy) and she is the pen queen.  We’ve both come to the realization, however, that we’re both obsessed with journals.  You know, the really pretty ones that you have no idea what you’re going to write in, but you still buy it because *sssooooo prettyyyyy*.  Yeah, well now I’ve got journals in SL that I surely won’t write in, but I have to have anyway!

Non-Sequitur

My little journal rant has nothing to do with my outfit (I mean, other than the journals I’m holding, obviously), but my sweet top and skirt were putting me in the mood for being artistic and such.  They’re the latest group gift from Maai, and they’re completely free.  Aren’t the little heart buttons adorable?  I can’t even.  Join the Maai group for free, then click on the vendor at the landing point and they’re all yours!

Love is Free

It’s Valentine’s Day eve, and that means that you’ve got to sort out all your bits and bobs.  By sort out your bits and bobs, I clearly mean settle on one of the bajillion gorgeous outfits that have been placed out as gifts, hunt items, discounts…my head is spinning with all the possibilities.  I found some really lovely items that came together as a strong contender for my final option for V-Day, but knowing me…I’ll probably change 5 times in a night anyway!

Short and Sweet

There’s a new group gift at Osmia!  I just love it when that happens!  This pretty pink and heart-covered dress is just what I needed for a night of romance (there are also lots of other colours in the HUD if you are not a pink person).  I particularly enjoy the little lace trim around the hem.  The best part is that this pretty dress is completely free!  Just join the Osmia group for free, then click on the vendor that’s just inside the front doors of the shop.  There are some other wonderful gifts there too while you’re at it.

• Freya

Shoe Addiction

ChicChica are being their usual generous selves with a new gift for all.  No need to join a group to pick up these lovely shoes, you’ll find them for free on the counter of the main store.  There are also some other shoes in the box too (which you can see in the vendor pic below).  The ones I’ve got on come in both silver and gold options and are sized for Belleza, Maitreya and Slink.

Last Stop

Time for another new group gift at Miss Chelsea!  This delicate little necklace I’ve got on is a cheeky little nod if you’re fending off the advances of some unworthy suitor.  The little gold bar in the middle says “not yours”, which made me giggle a little when I put it on.   There are three other choices of message, as well as a metals HUD with a few different options.  The Miss Chelsea group is 100L to Join, but you’ll find a very large pile of extremely high quality gifts on the main counter of the store, making the join super worth it.

Have you got your outfit sorted yet?

Quinnty’s-ential Christmas Gifts

The designers on Secondlife have really been going out of their way with gift this holiday season and what I have found has been pretty amazing.  I have been in the Quinnty’s update group for a while now (50L to join) and every month being a new group gift.  This month, not only was there a group gift, but Quinnty’s send out a notice that there were free presents under the tree for group members.  I rushed down to check them out right away.  I found there were four presents awaiting me under the tree.  They were all terrific, but I had to narrow it down to my two favorites for the post.

The Psych! top is a a cute sweater/jacket combo with an ’80s cyberpunk feel.  It went really well with the No Limit Leggings that were also under the tree.  Like all Christmas gifts, this will be gone before you know it.  So pick up these great gifts for group members while you still can.

Top sizes included

• Belleza – Freya, Isis, Venus
• Maitreya
• SLink – hourglass, Physique
• Legacy – Legacy, Perky

So Retro!

I don’t know exactly what it means to be “retro”.  I suppose being a child of the 80’s (does that make me old?) can be a bit of a retro thing.  I prefer the term “new wave”, but I suppose that’s not really used anymore!  Here’s my vision of retro:  bright colours, hotpants, insane hair and a burger.  It’s probably not retro at all, to be fair, but let’s just roll with the punches!

Flamingo Time

My cute and bright top and shorts outfit is the latest group gift at Flamingos.  The group is completely free to join, making this fun little getup completely free.  The top is a bright yellow mesh top that you can wear with jeans if you so desire.  If you’re wading into the little shorts, then they come with classic layers as well as an Omega applier.  The pink just makes me happy!

I’m not synthetica

Only in Second Life can you get a whole mech armor suit for free.  yes, I said, “free.”  The M7 Bento Mech from Vaak is one of the great gifts at Necrotize this month.  And what goes better with a post-apocalyptic mech suit than a metal cyborg bikini?  Velour has the Misanthropocene outfit as their group gift this month.  (the group is also free to join.) The Syth-O-Ear Tap from Reliquary in my right ear and the circuit makeup under my left eye by Rekt Royality are a few other free gifts at Necrotize.  To grab the gifts at this event, just join the free Second Life Syndicate group!   The last piece I found to complete the outfit was this dollarbie Techno Circuits tattoo by Pickle Ink on the marketplace for 1L.  It comes in both BOM and Maitreya applier.

Hallowalk

It’s Halloween!  I’m just having a little breather before tonight’s festivities.  You can’t ever spend too much time in the golden hued woods, if you ask me!

Ooh, Witchy Woman

It’s time for a new group gift from Petite Mort!  This cute cropped tee is absolutely awesome, and I’ll probably wear it forever.  It’s completely free when you join the Petite Mort group for free.  You’ll also find a new gift on the Oubliette side of the sim too, so do head over there and check out their gifts.  When you join the group, you also gain access to the lucky boards.  I got these sweet cropped jeans by waiting for my letter to come up, and I think they match the top rather perfectly!

Prowling Demon

This little demon is looking for a bit of mischief to get into, methinks… she seeks her next victim in the dark spaces hidden underground, and her keen gaze is alert to her goal…. You know, a bit of a snack!  All this lurking in the shadows has me hankering for chips (the British type….thick cut fries that are just perfectly wonderful)!

Shady

It’s time for yet another round of the Shady Seasonal Hunt!  To take part in this goodness, you have to join the free Shady Hunters group (you’ll find the key below) and then head to each store on the sim to find the little candles that contain the gift.  Each gift costs just 20L.  I stopped by Pretty Deceased first and searched for the candle hidden in the shop.  Inside, you’ll find this sparkly dress and boots combo.  It actually does sparkle quite appealingly!  My next stop was Mug, where I picked up these super creepy nails.  They’re sized for Maitreya, Freya and Legacy.  As with all Mug offerings, you’ll find the HUD is where you can change the sizes of the nails.  I’ve included the vendor photo below as well so you can get a better look.   You’ve got until November 1st to find the prizes on the Shady Seasonal Hunt!  Good luck!

Look for Magic

Hey FabFree!  It’s me again, your favourite blogging witch.  Though, to be fair, I’m not always a witch.  Only when the moment is *just right*.  Tonight is one of those nights, where the wind blows leaves about, the moon is clear and you can hear owls hooting.  I love nights like this, because they make you think that magic is real.  And so it is – magic of the ordinary variety, like your coffee tasting just right, or finding a book that speaks right to you…or a crisp night where the moon calls to your soul.  Never stop believing in magic, it just may not look how you expected it to!

Magical Life

Magic is also apparent to me when I head to an event and find so many fun gifts that all beg to be shown.  Today I headed over to The Gacha Life, joined their free group, and picked up all the gifts!  I found two that really called out to me and said “please blog me!” and so, here are the details:

• FREE Dress by GiuliaDesign sized for Freya, Hourglass, Isis, Maitreya, Physique & Venus with a pair of boots in the bag as well
• FREE Shoes by ZFG sized for Belleza, Maitreya, Slink & Tonic

Go visit!  You won’t be disappointed!
