Hello hello Fab Free’rs! I hope everyone has been having a good week so far. I am super stoked about sharing the current group gift at Canimal with you. I had another one of those “I must have that” moments when I saw the ad for it. The Cannimal gift is this blouse and bodysuit combo. So many style genres come to mind with this FREECanimal group gift, which is partly why I love it. This outfit/top is one piece, and includes a color change hud that lets you choose the color of the bodysuit, blouse, collar, and bow separately. It comes in a single mesh size, but it fit my Maitreya Lara body perfectly. The Canimal group is FREE to join, just wear the group tag and click the gift vendor to get your gift.
Hello Fab Free’rs! For once I’ve had a fairly quiet day in RL and I’m glad. It’s about time! I hope you’re all doing well. Today I have a few group gifts, one from Hucci (technically a subscriber gift), and one from The Skinnery. Also, Indulge Temptation is celebrating 2 years with two ways score a beautiful celebratory gift.
The subscriber gift a Hucci is this lovely magenta colored mesh sleeveless top. The shirt comes in body-specific mesh sizes for Maitreya Lara, Slink Physique and Hourglass, as well as Belleza Isis, Freya, and Venus. As you can see this low cut “WildPink” is meant to be sexy yet casual, I think it could also be worn over an applier top if you wanted a little more coverage. To get this FREE subscriber gift at Hucci simply join the Subscriber, if the gift isn’t sent to you, use the message history to have the gift delivered. To go with the top from Hucci, I also picked up this pretty raspberry colored lip stain from The Skinnery. This Catwa lip applier is a FREE group gift at The Skinnery. It comes in a set of 4 stains. Each color has a normal version and smudgy version that makes it look as though you’ve messed up your lip-color with a little kissing! The Skinnery group has a one time join fee of 200 lindens. Once you’ve got your group tag, simply click the gift vendor and your lip stain set will be delivered. There are also several past group gifts still available.
The bold beautiful butterfly jewelry shown in the photos is a fun hunt prize or group gift from Indulge Temptation. This specific set along with several color change huds are the way Indulge Temptation is celebrating their 2 year Anniversary! There are 2 ways you can get this gorgeous set of statement jewelry. If you don’t want to join the in world group, you can hunt each piece at the main store. Each hidden part of the set is 10 lindens and there are 12 total pieces, most of which are the color change huds that allow you to adjust the color of the jewels as well as the metal parts. You can also resize these pieces of jewelry for the best fit. Not up for a hunt? No problem. Indulge Temptation group members can pick the full set up for FREE as a group gift. The in world group has a one time join fee of 100 lindens, and there are previous group gifts available as well. You’ll find this and the other gifts in a room to the left of the landing point.

Hello Fab Free’r’s! I’m so sorry it has taken me way to long to get this post done. I’ve had a busier than usual week, much busier than even I anticipated. The good news is things are calming down for a spell, and for the time I should be here more. That said, I’m excited to share with you this gorgeous hairstyle from booN, and this striking little dress from BYRNE. Together I think they make for a really stunning high-fashion look that I hope you love. Starting with the hair from booN, this purposefully messy up-do is edgy and fun. It also happens to be part of the Clearance/Retirement Sale going on at booN. Now through the 10th of September you can pick up this style and several others for as little as 20 lindens per color pack or 70 lindens for a fat pack. You’ll also find several less expensive hairstyles in the same “sale” area, however I’m not sure if those are being retired as well or not. Either way, if you’re looking for some fun new styles like this one you won’t want to miss out on this sale. Also I want to point out that several of the styles do need a hairbase under them. Pru is wearing the basic Catwa hairbase included with the Catwa heads. There are free demos for most of the styles, so I definitely recommend you try the demos before you purchase.
Next up, this sassy little dress from BYRNE is the FREE September group gift. I think this dress is so feminine and beautiful on. The bow at the back of the neck gives it a little extra girlishness. This FREEBYRNE group gift comes in this two tone grey color as well as an equally pretty dusty pink version. You’ll find each color comes in fitmesh mesh sizes and a Maitreya specific fit. A matching alpha layer is also included. To get this FREE gift simply join the BYRNE Style group and check the past notices. The group is FREE to join. Additionally, there’s also a men’s gift to be had!
One of the things I like the most about Second Life is the ability to change your appearance at will. Today I was feeling a little bit more sinister, a little more goth than usual. Thankfully I’ve come across a few items that let me show off that darker side without breaking the bank. Now I get to share them with you!
It all started with this fun little “in store” hunt going on at FormaNails. I say “in store” but really, all the hunt objects are hidden outside on the grounds surrounding the store. Before I get into the hunt prize, I want to tell you a little about the hunt its self. I really enjoyed this one. Outside the FormaNails main shop you’ll see a small display where you can get a FREE hud. This hud needs to be worn with permissions granted to complete the hunt. There are 10 hidden objects to be found throughout the grounds. The hud I mentioned keeps track of which items you have found and which ones you’re still hunting for. Cool, huh?! The objects themselves will teleport to a new location once they’ve been “found”. So you may come across the same object a second time. Once the hud shows you’ve found all 10 objects, you return to the display outside the main store and click inside the phone booth. Then the folder with the hunt prize will be delivered to you. I have to say, what made this hunt so fun is that the grounds are really whimsical and interesting to explore. There are lots of imaginative things to do and see, I even bungee jumped while hunting!
The FormaNailsFREE hunt gift is a set of bejeweled brass knuckles. The detailed set is unisex in that it includes a male and a female version, also both sets come in gold, and in silver. The female version is set with little rubies and pearls, while the male set has iron crosses and skulls. The knuckles are worn on one hand, and are able to be sized via touch menu. Though the knuckles did not appear to have been made to fit a specific set of hands, I was able to adjust them to suit my Maitreya Lara hands with some re-sizing and some manual re-positioning. After seeing the knuckles from FormaNails, knew I wanted to do something a little bit goth and perhaps playful, then I saw one of the gifts from a shop called This is Wrong and knew exactly the look I was going for.
This lace neck corset by This is Wrong is really beautiful on. It comes in 3 colors for the boning, black, green, and red, each with black lace. This FREE gift fit my Maitreya Lara body without any adjustments, which was a pleasant finding. The group for This is Wrong is FREE to join as well, making this lovely gift absolutely FREE. Wear your group tag and purchase the item for zero lindens. There are also several other cute group gifts to be had at This is Wrong, don’t miss out!
Next, just the right the finishing touch! Stix is participating in The Sinister Goth’s “Sinner’s Hunt Gluttony”. This is a FREE hunt, and there are no groups or huds needed. The FREE hunt prize Stix has out is this hauntingly beautiful eye makeup set. The gift includes 5 variations of this wild smoky eye. Each version has an Omega applier, and a matching classic system layer. I tried on all 5 versions, and they are a must have for any goth girl, even if you’re only goth part of the time like me!
Hello Fab Free’rs, we’ve made it half way through the week already! I don’t know about everyone else but where I am we have definitely started to feel the summer heat. Often the early morning is the most pleasant time of day to be outside. Everything is still cool from the night before. This cute casual sundress from American Bazaar is just the sort of thing for those cool summer mornings and on into the hot afternoon. This fully mesh dress the FREE group gift for ladies (you’ll also find a pair of swim trunks for the men!) at American Bazaar. The dress comes in standard mesh sizes and the American Bazaar group is FREE to join.A sundress almost requires that you wear sunglasses with it. Sunglasses are my favorite accessory anyway, so I really didn’t need to be convinced. They are also a very versatile accessory in my opinion. They can be classy, or fun, plain or artful. I am really enjoying these particular sunglasses by Pshcho byts. They are in a gacha machine at the Rock Attitude Fair for just 35 lindens per play! The best part about these sunnies from Psycho byts is the hud that comes with them. Even the commons include a hud that lets you change between several lens options, some of which have images or words, and others are a little more plain. The hud will also allow you to change the individual colors of the roses, and the color of the leaves. Honestly, I think I have a new favorite pair of sunglasses! You’ll find this gacha and several others in a little fenced area behind one of the main buildings at the Rock Attitude Fair.
Hey There Fab Free’rs, hope you’re having a good weekend! I’ve got some Fabulous freebies to share! How cute is this tattoo themed dress from Entice? Right now you can get this super cute casual dress for FREE just by joining the “Free for Everyone” Midnight Mania board at Entice. That’s right, no group needed for this one. Not only is this fun little dress FREE, it includes a color change hud with 3 options for some added versatility. This beautiful Catwa head applier with the glossy lips and dark eyeliner is the May 2016 Group Gift from Mudskin. It’s been a minute since I’ve seen a new group gift from Mudskin, and this one is seriously pretty. This FREE gift is well worth the effort if you wear a Catwa head. You can also purchase body appliers separately. Currently, the Mudskin group is FREE to join.
Hello and happy Thursday! I’m back with a few more Womenstuff Hunt gifts! Yayyy!
My sexy, black, pencil skirt dress is from CuCu Clothes, and I think it fits nicely into my sexy Librarian folder 😉 It makes me think that I’ve had a long day of being professional, and now that work is over, I just feel like unbuttoning a few buttons on my top. I know you guys out there can relate if you have to wear a button up shirt all day. This skin-tight dress comes in standard sized fitmesh, as well as fitmesh versions for Bellezza, Maitreya and SLink bodies. Best of all, it is a free Womenstuff Hunt prize, you just have to find the ever familiar red t-shirt hunt object, and the hint is “This gift is as black as this Harley”.
Needing a little bit of sparkle to go with my look, I headed over to Luminesse to hunt for their Womenstuff prize. For only L$1, when you find the red t-shirt, you will receive the Delyse Byzantium Gold Necklace and Earrings set. The necklace works so nicely with the neckline of my dress, and I just love the purple bows 🙂 Here’s the hint to help you out “I love summer! Shorts and pretty dresses. Cute sandals and BellyGems. Have you seen Tui? You’ll find her upstairs. I like the purple and blue one!”
As has been mentioned in previous Womenstuff Hunt posts, the hunt runs until the end of the month, so you still have loads of time. Here is the Hunt page link, with a complete list of all participating stores, their LM’s and hints.
Hope you all enjoy the end of your work week, the weekend is in sight! LOL. Until next time, TTFN.

“Beauty is power; a smile is its sword.” — John Ray
It is often the small things and simplest pleasures that make us smile. I think that is why I love this round up of gifts and treasures so much. Alone they are simple… but together they are stunning. And they made me smile. Did I need them to be beautiful? Nah… but I felt beautiful wearing them.
“Let us live for the beauty of our own reality.” — Charles Lamb.
I think Charles Lamb would have approved of the reality woven by the gifts above. [Muse] is celebrating 1000 members with this resizable Evil Eye Choker gift (though there is nothing evil about this gorgeous gift) which you can pick up for FREE with your NSP Floral Group tag. There is a 75L group join fee, but the monthly gifts and goodies make it worthwhile.
Seeing my own reality through that eye, I knew I needed something special to go with it. And Salt & Pepper didn’t let me down. Their group gifts are usually jewelry, but this month the creator opted to give this sexy black romper called Kiara as the group gift. It is FREE with your group tag and comes in all the standard mesh sizes. Again there is a small join fee (100L) but like NSP Floral, the monthly gifts makes it worth it.
I finished off my adventure into my own reality with a spin on the 30L Julianne Shoes Gacha at Belle Epoque. These shoes fit medium high Slink feet and come in quite a few colors to match just about anything in your wardrobe. I love the strappy, open-toe style!
“The more often we see things around us – even the beautiful and wonderful things – the more they become invisible to us. That is why we often take for granted the beauty of this world: the flowers, the trees, the birds, the clouds – even those we love. Because we see things so often we see them less and less.” — Joseph B. Wirthlin
I wasn’t done with Belle Epoque this weekend, though, as you can see in the picture above. Sometimes you need to take a little time to stop and smell the flowers. And Belle Epoque‘s 30L Saturday offer is just the thing to remind us of all the beautiful and wonderful things in life that we often take for granted. Above, I am modeling the Imelda Dress in Pink (it comes in all the standard mesh sizes and 3 colors – each for only 30 L!) and there are matching shoes for each color as well! The shoes are also only 30L each for this 30L round. Belle Epoque is leaving this lovely offering out for the weekend, but be sure to stop by before the end of Sunday evening or you will miss out! Hurry!
My necklace is a fantastic 1L Market place find by Cazimi Designs called Diantha Modern Girly Partial Set and was just the thing to set off this flowery dress. It came with earrings too (not shown). For 1L, the quality is hard to beat!
“Beauty in things exists in the mind which contemplates them.” — David Hume.
Need something more studious? Belle Epoque‘s creator outdid herself this weekend. Well known for medieval fantasy, this FREEgroup gift with your FREEgroup join called Eleanor has a vintage appeal that with a few of the right accessories takes on a contemplative look that is just right for vintage roleplay, a date night, or even just casual wear. It not only includes the skirt and jacket in all the standard mesh sizes, but you also get the resizable hat as well.
For a little added flair, I made my way upstairs to the Shoe Gachas again, this time trying my luck with the 30L Emily Shoe machine. A spin won me the pumps in Brown which turned out to be a perfect complement to the outfit. I also paired it with this Sunglass Necklace I found on the Marketplace from BricOle‘s Designs for only 20L.
“Think of all the beauty still left around you and be happy.” — Anne Frank.
On a final note, Belle Epoque‘s 30L offerings this weekend are incredibly generous and there really is something to make just about any shopper happy. Not only is the Imelda dress and matching shoes available this weekend, but you can also pick up the Berezia Dress in three colors for 30L each. I’m modeling it in the picture above in champagne.
And for those who love capes and hats but are (like me) distressed that you can almost never find hair to fit under them, this Berezia Cape from Belle Epoque in three matching colors with four hair color choices (again 30L each for this weekend only, so hurry) is the perfect solution. Like the dress, the cape is mesh, but comes in 3 standard sizes and fit perfectly with a fabulous ‘flow’ to it as you can see in the picture above — a great inventory “must have” for roleplayers… or anyone really!
Hello all you fabulous hair loving readers! It’s Free Hair Day here on FabFree, as if you didn’t already know. I picked up some great ones, so let’s get right to it!
These three un-rigged mesh styles, are all from Pocket Mirrors. The black bob is called Valentina, and is a free group gift for the Pocket Mirrors group, which is free to join, and you actually get a full fatpack of colours. The retro-looking blonde style I have on is called Marloe Wavy, and is free for members of The Magazine group, which is also free to join. My third style is the Guadalupe up-do in the Sienna tone, and it is free for members of the SLF&O group, and I know you all know, it is a free group to join. There are boards for both the Magazine group, and the SLF&O group in the hallway at Pocket Mirrors, so joining these groups is easy.
Wanting to show some hair that was a little different, I went with 3 of the current free group gifts from booN, which are un-rigged mesh, so they are mod friendly. My first hair is a super sleek bob, and it comes in a fatpack of almost every colour you can imagine. My cornrows hair, is actually meant to be used as a hairbase to go along with some of their cornrows hair attachments. However, with all the intricate details, and cute swirley braid pattern, I can absolutely see this being used as is. This, as well, comes in a fatpack of colours, and also comes with a hud to adjust the skintone of the scalp to match any skin. Lastly, I chose this cute, edgy bob, and you guessed, it, it’s a fatpack of a bunch of colours. All 3 of these hairs are easily unisex, so guys, check them out too. The booN group is free to join, and there are many other hair gifts available, so you really should check it out, especially if you have a flair for the anime look…trust me.
Deviating from my predominantly black shaded hair pictures, I went with the current free group gifts from Tableau Vivant. The funky teal up-do, in un-rigged mesh, is Morgan, and the lovely long blue-ombre style, that is rigged mesh, is Muse. Both of these hairs come with the vivids & pastels texture hud, which has all sorts of gorgeous colours to choose from. The other cool thing about both of these hairs, they both come with male versions, so you guys are not forgotten! The Tableau Vivant group is L$100 to join, but with 2 group gifts available, it is well worth it.
Finally, my last stop was over at Zalea. There are 2 styles here for you to grab. The first one, and I have to say my favourite, is Leah, and you may remember that one as Zalea’s free gift at this years Hair Fair. Leah comes as a Zealot pack, which means there is a texture hud that is just jam-packed with colour choices. The other hair is Fiona, and comes with a hud that has 4 colours to choose from, and was put out as the grand re-opening gift. Leah and Fiona, both rigged mesh, are free for everyone, just find their gift boxes at the back of the store and buy them for L$0.
Wowie! Between my post and all of the other awesome Free Hair Day posts from my fellow FabFree bloggers, there is no way your heads will go uncovered…unless you are rocking the bald look of course 😉 . I will leave you for now, to bask in the hair loveliness, until next time, TTFN!

Happy Free Hair Day Gentlemen! Hopefully, by this time next year this will be a national holiday, like Groundhog Day or Bring Your Weevil to Work Day. Given the task to scour the grid and round up some free men’s hairstyles, I am happy to present to you the results of my epic quest.
A – Damselfly – Ashton w/20 color hud (FREE Group Gift/FREE Group)
B – Amacci – Leon in Cinnamon (FREE Group Gift/FREE Group)
C – Colors – Free gifts in boxes outside the store, four hairstyles available (FREE Gifts)
D – Kmadd – Jordan, just one of at least six male or unisex hairstyles included (FREE Gift/Subscribo)
E – Mina – Andre in Dark Brown w/ 5 color hud (FREE Gift for joining the L’Homme magazine group/FREE Group) The vendor is near the West entrance.
F – Dura – Valentines Group Gift w/ hud (FREE Group Gift/FREE Group)
G – Ink – UROS in Black (FREE Group Gift/FREE Group)
That about wraps it up for this post, but before I go, let me tell you about two more great stops that guys should make in their ongoing search for men’s hair. One fine resource for men’s hairstyles is Alli & Ali. They have free group gifts and frequently take part in gridwide hunts. If you are looking for free hair, they are definitely worth a visit. Lastly, while they are not offering any free male hair, Truth is an excellent hair store and, as of this writing, their male hair is only 50L. For that price, they are a bargain. That’s all for me, have fun and I will see you on the grid!—–WHC Riler
