When one is too cool for school, one must wear one’s too cool for school duds with some flair, you know. I am leaning ever so nonchalantly on this here desk because obviously I am that person who is too cool for school. Just suspend your disbelief for one minute, we all know I’m actually a giant nerd, but let’s just roll with it today, yes?
We’ve Got Cookies
So over at The Dark Side event, there are all sorts of awesome little 10L gifts you can grab! There are a whole bunch of great ones to choose from, but I really liked the patches on this little mini dress by MoOh! I may have a weakness for all things with patches and pins so this sure was the dress for me. It comes with an HUD with six different colour options, including a few nice jean ones. Grab yours by visiting the MOoH! kiosk at The Dark Side!

Top it Off
To top off my look, I made my way over to Amiable. They’ve got a whole bunch of group gifts out (some of which have been shown here on Fab Free by Juli in the past, HERE and HERE), and there I found this cute little hairdo that comes in a whole bunch of natural shades (I like a blunt bob!) and also the little hair bow that tops off my look quite perfectly. You can grab these two group gifts by joining the Amiable group for free! There are lots of other lovely little gifts there too!
Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to go continue being extremely cool.

The idea of the Mistletoe is one that I find rather appealing. I mean, a plant that causes people to kiss if they pass underneath it? How romantic (and utterly bizarre) is that? You guys know me, if something is even slightly quirky I get a little bit overexcited about it. I found a great (and nontypical) look for your holiday parties!
The Queen of all You’ve Seen
My sultry red bodysuit is a freegroup gift under the Christmas Tree over at Queenz! I love the cutouts and velvety finish of it, as well as the added belly chain. It’s different and festive all at the same time. There are a couple of gifts under the tree at Queenz, so join their group for free and pick up all the delightful goodies!

Mistletoe that follows me around? I can’t say “YES” fast enough! I got my super cute headband over at Gable. I joined their group for free and now I’ve got people making pouty lips at me wherever I go! I haven’t decided if this is a blessing or a curse yet, but I look super adorable so I’m going with blessing for now. Head on over to Gable and grab yours!
Happy Kissmas!

I’m bundling up and ready for the gusty blasts that November are sending my way! I still want to spend some time outside, of course – so I totally found the perfect outfit for a camping excursion out in the middle of nowhere! (And by camping, I mean pretending to be very woodsy while having literally no idea what I’m doing!)
Bundle Up
This really fantastic coat and top set come courtesy of Atik and is their newest group gift. I joined the group for freeand have literally been living in this duo since I picked it up! Isn’t it brilliant? It takes all the guesswork out of which layers may work together when it comes to coats and tops, and the detailing on it is top knotch. A great addition to any inventory!

I needed a great pair of pants to go with my new top and coat – luckily The Beautiful Ones have got me covered.

These corduroy pants are perfect for pretending you’re the outdoors type while still looking unfailingly chic. Join The Avenue group for free, and pick these bad boys up! There are a bunch of other gifts there too! Woohoo!

I absolutely love it! It may only be Monday, but who says we can’t celebrate with Tequila and Tacos?! In my case, I prefer Jack, a girl’s gotta choose her poison right?!
Back to the top, it comes in a wide variety of sizes, but this top? I saw pictures on flickr and knew it had to be mine! The little bandana top, with the big baggie shirt over it, was just too me to pass up!
Head on over to Oubliette, search out the hidden coconut and this free top is all yours!

I just can’t seem to pass up stopping by a flower shop, and today I feel as if I fit right in! So let me get right to it and tell you about the pretty floral dress I’m wearing. 🙂

Just a quick note about my necklace: You can pick up the Barcelona Boho necklace and earrings (not shown) at Maxi Gossamer today for Fifty Linden Friday. A texture-changer with 9 bead colors and 2 metal colors is included.

Happy Sunday! I hope everyone’s weekend has been going well. How about some amazing freebies and a dollarbie for today’s post! Let’s start with the top, this is a FabFree group gift, by RipRock. The in-world Fab Free group is free to join, just remember to wear your group tag, when retrieving your gift! This little fishnet tube top, is a cute and sexy find. You can wear it, with a cover-up, as a top or under another top as extra layers, if the meshes work well together of course. I personally love basic top like this one from RipRock, you can do so many things with them, heck this one could even be a bikini top, just add some bikini bottoms or some shorts and you;re ready for the beach. The results are endless and it’s free!

I love these suspender pants, I found on the Marletplace and they are only $1L! I used to wear my suspenders like this in real life, so when I saw these I was excited! The pants are a dollarbie item on the Marketplace, by a store called Make It! The Handmade Revolution. Don’t forget they are only $1L, got to love the cheap Marketplace finds!
Last, but not least, I have a new free group gift from Breathe! The store has recently moved, so be sure to get your new landmark! The Breathe in-world group is currently free to join, so hurry over and grab some shoes! These Choko Heels are a full fatpack, which is even more of a bonus! This Hud is packed full of color options, including a couple fatpack exclusives! You can’t miss the gift in the new main store location, you walk right in the door and they are right above your head! Don’t forget to wear your group tag, when grabbing your free gift.

I hope everyone is having a fantastic week! I know I am, except today is grocery shopping day, bleh! Today I thought I would rummage through my inventory and see what I had to share with all of you today. I found a Salt and Pepper group gift and had to put it on. This freebie is from October, but still sassy, mixed in with a whole lot of sexy. The Gwen dress very much has a Halloween theme in mind, but I simply say who cares! I look good wearing it, so I am going to flaunt it. The Salt and Pepper in-world group is $300L to join, but will also give you 10% off in store purchases, excluding gachas, gift cards and event items.
The texture on this dress is outstanding, I love satin, it’s always so soft and falls on the curves just right. Salt and Pepper is known for their more edgy style, I know they are one of my first go-to places, when I want something that pushes the limits. The dress plunges low in the back and is accented with spider-webs, now I am terrified of spiders, but I can over look them for this! The front also dips low and has decorative webs, to accent all the right places. I love this free group gift and I can’t understand why I didn’t wear it sooner!

The Gwen dress also comes with a color HUD. The HUD includes 5 colors, black, red, white/cream, pink and a grayish brown. The free group gift also has a blood stained option, if you so wish. Again, Halloween! Gosh, I love that day! Don’t forget to wear your tag, to receive your gift!

A little bit of everyday magic is sometimes required to get through a day, I think. Today is not necessarily one of those days – the sun is shining, all the trees are in bloom, and it’s a long weekend for me… BUT sometimes you need a pick me up! I found a little bit of every day magic in Second Life today, a simple little pleasure, that makes me smile…
Over it All
I am actually super obsessed with these overalls by Mel’s Store. I’ve been searching for a pair of overalls for literally forever in SL, but they always looked a bit wonky on me. I’m happy to report that these ones are a fantastic fit, and they only cost me 1L on Marketplace. Yes…. 1 measly little Linden! Mel’s Store on Marketplace has a bunch of cute stuff all priced at 1L, so it’s seriously worth checking out!

Back at the Fishing Hole
I went fishing again at Sn@tch! There’s generally a new fishing prize every 2 weeks at Sn@tch, and this one is called “By Popular Demand” because the creator, Ivey Deschanel, got so many requests for it. Today, I’m showing off the sleek hair you can fish for, as well as one of the several tops that are available. It’s really cute, so if you have a Seven Seas fishing rod (you can buy one for 100L outside Sn@tch, then use it every time you want to fish in the future), just park your avi and collect all the parts to get all sorts of lovely things for your inventory!

Ladies, have you been wanting to “go BENTO,” but haven’t had enough Lindens to spare? Well, now you can do it for the price of FREE! That’s right: a complete BENTO-enabled avatar that’s absolutely FREE. Zero. Zip. Zilch. Nada. 😀
Meet Jenny
There are some truly amazing gifts to be found on the Women Only Hunt 4 (WOH4) trail, and this one is no exception. Altamura Design has set out a complete Bento-enabled avatar as their gift.
Jenny includes a body with Bento-enabled hands and head, as well as the following features:
1 skin tone with eyebrows
3 alpha sections (macro, mid, micro) with many cuts
3 shapes of feet: flat, medium, high
Eyelashes
Hairbase
“BLABLA” Bento gesture to talk
A few more things to note about this body/head:
Jenny is NOT Omega compatible. You cannot use Omega System skins, nails, tattoos, etc., from other designers.
If you want to wear a different head (as I’m doing above), you can. Simply alpha out the Jenny head with the included HUD and add the new head.
The mid and high feet are smaller than other mesh body feet. However, I found that many shoes sized for Belleza feet seem to fit reasonably well. The flat feet can be resized using the sliders in your appearance editor.
The head does not come with eyes (or if it does, I could not find them). You will need to wear a third-party mesh or system eyes.
An AO that cycles Bento hand motions is included, but a static hand poser is not. You can pose Jenny’s hands using a third-party Bento pose or HUD.
The Altamura website hints that people who have this gift will be receiving a “great surprise.” I have no idea what that means, but an announcement will be made soon in their in-world group. 🙂
To get this gift, all you have to do is find the WOH4 snowflake in the Altamura mainstore. There are quite a few very obvious decoys, but you should have no problem finding the real snowflake.
Reindeer Antlers and Santa Kittehs
I dressed Jenny up in the Peace on Earth Hunt 10 (POE10) gift from Prism Designs. Staci Holiday Cats includes a blouse, leggings, and the two cute kitties you see playing behind me (above).
Mesh sizes for the blouse and leggings include Fitmesh XS-XL with alpha layers, Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink.
UPDATE: There are TWO gifts for the POE Hunt at the Prism Designs store. The gift I’m showing here is by Jezzixa Cazalet. The other gift by Journey can be seen in this post HERE by Astrid. Slightly confusing, but who doesn’t love a twofer? 🙂
Accessories:
The Reindeer Headband by Wasabi, Bow Bangle bracelet by BREATHE, and my pose by An Lar Poses are all gifts to be found at The Chapter Four. You will need to join The Chapter Four in-world group to grab these (and many more!) gifts.
My black pearl Sea Star Earrings are the Day #2 Advent gift for Chop Zuey Couture group members. A matching choker is included. Please note that there are THREE Advent calendars at Chop Zuey: two for members of the in-world group (one calendar for men and one for women), and a third calendar for everyone (both members and non-members). The gift I’m showing today is from the members’ calendar.
3 Heads are Better Than One
If you don’t like the head that comes with Jenny, here are 2 other inexpensive options for you:
Join the Altamura in-world group (40L to join). Then head over to eBento and pick up the Giselle Bento head gift at the Altamura booth. I’m wearing Giselle in photos #1 and #2 above; #1 is with a custom shape I made while playing around with the sliders, and #2 is the shape that comes in the folder. The included shape is actually quite nice, if you don’t feel like making your own.
While you’re at The Chapter Four scooping up all the gifts, be sure to grab the gift from Altamura. Maya (#4 above) is a traditional mesh head that is NOT Bento-enabled. I’m including it here for those of you who want an inexpensive mesh head but are not yet ready to leap into the world of Bento.
More Gifts at Altamura
After joining the Altamura group, be sure to pick up the group gift (piercing) sitting behind the counter across from the Christmas tree. Older gifts are still available on the wall behind the tree.
Also, Altamura has a group-only Advent calendar in the store. All the past days’ gifts are still available, so be sure to pick them all up!
Finally, Altamura is celebrating the first anniversary of their mainstore with a BIG SALE. Group members can save up to 80% on featured products through the 20th of December.
Whew – enjoy! 🙂

Oh my goodness, hasn’t this been an amazing week of shopping and gift-getting? Thank goodness SL offers an endless supply of 24-hour coffee shops so we can always find a caffeine pick-me-up to keep us going. 😆
The only thing I love more than December Advent calendars is December Advent calendars that don’t expire after one day! You know, sometimes Real Life happens, and you can’t get in-world one day so you end up missing out on a really amazing gift.
Well, today I bring you glad tidings of TWO stores that have Advent calendars with gifts you can pick up until Christmas!
Advent Adventures
PurpleMoon Creations has once again set out an Advent calendar with beautiful, high-quality gifts. I’m showing you three of them today.
First up is the gorgeous green Velvet Dress, which was the Advent gift for day #7. It comes in the following mesh sizes:
Fitmesh XXS-L with an alpha layer
Belleza
Maitreya
Slink
The jewelry you see here were also Advent gifts from PurpleMoon. My necklace and earrings were the gifts for day #5, and the pretty snow globe ring was the gift for day #8. I don’t believe the ring is specifically for bento-enabled hands, but it seems to work fine with my Maitreya hands.
Another must-visit Advent calendar is the one at Hello Dave. Each day, there is a new, holiday-themed nail palette for Maitreya, Slink, and Omega-enabled (includes Belleza, Empire, and Vista) hands. I’m wearing the day #6 palette, which is white with delicate gold snowflakes.
To receive these – and more! – Advent gifts, you will need to join each store’s in-world group. But it’s a small price to pay for the fabulous gifts you will receive, not only at Christmas, but ALL YEAR LONG, as both stores are extremely generous with gifts. 😀
P.S. Just a note about my shoes by BREATHE: they are still available as a free gift at FaMESHed. But don’t look for them under the Christmas tree; you’ll find them next to one of the concierge tables outside the glass ring. These shoes come with a texture-change HUD and were originally shown in black by Love HERE last month.
