More Than Alright

There’s a whole wonderfully weird wild world out there and I’m proud to be living in it, even when things get heavy. To some the crowded city with its miles of pavement might seem bleak. I find the vast concrete jungle to be full of art and adventure, especially when I’ve got my partner in all things by my side. Clothing being an excellent form of artful expression; my corset top and his vest from BYRNE spoke loud of love as we spent the evening together just wandering the streets and exploring the underground of Tokyo Windhill City.

Hello There Fab Free! I have a quick post for you to help get the weekend going. I hope everyone survived the week and is enjoying the weekend thus far. For today’s post I wanted to share with you the female January group gift at BYRNE. As usual, there is a mens group gift at BYRNE as well. This geometric patterned dress is the free group gift. It comes in several sizes, and 2 options. There’s the black version Pru is wearing, and a white version which is the same pattern with the colors reversed. The male gift is a vest with the same cool pattern. Right now the BYRNE group is free to join.

Also, if you like the backdrop Pru is using, it is a past (Jan. 2018) group gift at Foxcity that is still available. The Foxcity group has a one time join fee of 550 linden and there are quite a few group gifts still available.

Brightness Magnet

Right so, the leaves have all fallen in my part of the world…and the super cold weather has just made an appearance, much to everyone’s chagrin.  That means that I need a bit of a colour injection to keep me from falling prey to the dastardly SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) where you start feeling distinctively icky.  So, freebies to the rescue!

Byrne Notice

Byrne’s most recent subscriber gift is this colourful swing dress with one of my fave patterns on it – I love a good Moroccan scroll tile!  It comes in two bright and cheery shades – this version with the hot pink base and and a nice bright red base.  I got it for FREE by clicking on the subscriber unit.  If it doesn’t get delivered to you immediately, then just click again and look in the “history” section – there it shall be!

Sizes

• Belleza
• Maitreya
• Slink

More Colour!

Over at the Access event, I came across a free group gift by Lisa Walker.  If you join the event group for free, you get a whole host of pretty lipstick appliers that look lovely and creamy on.  This lipstick comes with appliers for Catwa and Lelutka heads.

I hope you’re keeping the chills at bay, wherever you are!

I Come From the Water

Hello Fab Free’rs, Happy Sunday-fun-day! I hope everyone has been having a good weekend. Mine has been great so far. Today I am so excited to tell you about the free August Subscriber gift from BYRNE. This gorgeous peacock feather print summer dress is this month’s free gift, and I can’t say enough nice things about it. The skirt is sheer from the upper thigh down, and has a hi-lo type look. I’m sure there’s a name for this type of skirt, but I am not up on my fashion terms. Maybe that’s a sign I need to have some intellectual curiosity here!

So of course I wore this dress to the beach, the colors and the feathered pattern gave me some tropical summer feels. This peacock dress from BYRNE was sent out a few days ago to all Subscriber members. If you missed it just head over to BYRNE and click the subscriber. You might have to rejoin. Subscribers can be tricky sometimes, like anything in Second Life! ha The dress comes in several sizes and includes a head scarf not shown in the photo.

Sizes Included: Maitreya Lara, Belleza (Freya, Isis, Venus), Slink (Hourglass, Physique)

Here are the details, enjoy!

Head Wreath – *LODE* Head Accessory – Gladiolus [pink]

I Saw Stars

Hey there Fab Free’rs! Thanks for being here. A musician friend of mine once said “It’s hard being cool when you’re not.” It made me laugh at the time, but in a lot of ways it’s a true statement. I think we all at some point want our peers to think of us as some form of “cool.” As for me, I am genuinely the least cool person ever, but I don’t mind. I’m learning to be happy just being the nerdy weirdo that I am. Still, I can manage to look cool thanks to this super cool free top from BYRNE!

The star patterned top Pru is wearing is the free June group gift for all BYRNE Style group members. It comes in several mesh sizes, and as always the texture is art in itself. Speaking of the texture, the top comes in 2 variations, the black version shown and a similar white version. Not to mention it would be perfect for the up-coming 4th of July festivities for those who celebrate and don’t fancy the traditional “red white and blue” theme. Also, there is a gift for the guys! To get your gift, join the BYRNE style group, it is free to join, and check the group notices. Don’t forget there’s a version for male avatars as well!

Faster Pussycat!

Hello hello Fab Free’rs! If you haven’t been to The Darkness event yet, you should go. It’s an Anniversary round and there are tons of FREE gifts to be had. Yep, I said it, FREE gifts! The Darkness event group is FREE to join. You’ll need to be wearing The Darkness group tag to pick up the gifts. Just click the gifts while wearing your group tag to receive them. Aline also showed a few of the FREE gifts available in her post “The Dark Side” so be sure to check that out also if you haven’t already!

I was super excited to see the FREE gift by BYRNE at The Darkness. This graphic tee shirt dress with original artwork inspired by and using images from the cult classic exploitation film “Faster Pussycat, Kill Kill” is (in my opinion) too cool for words. The top comes in a male version as well as this female version, and there are several mesh sizes.

Mesh Sizes Included: Belleza, Maitreya, Slink Physique, Slink Hourglass

In Your Eyes

Both POEMA and MRM (Milla Rasmuson Makeup) put out Catwa appliers as their FREE gift at The Darkness. These long realistic looking lashes are the gift from POEMA. The dramatic eye shadow is the catwa applier gift by MRM. The MRM gift has 8 total color variations to choose from.

*Includes Catwa Appliers Only

Fit to be Tied

Or in this case, collared and garter-ed. The fancy black choker/collar with the sparky ring in the center is the FREE gift at The Darkness from Ghee. It can be resized via touch menu. The studded leg garter with the cute heart-shaped ring is also a FREE gift at The Darkness. It comes from TSL (The Style Loft) and has a left and a right version to be worn on the left or on the right leg.

She’s got the look!

“Heavenly bound
Cause heaven’s got a number
When she’s spinning me around
Kissing is a color
Her loving is a wild dog
She’s got the look”

Get the look too!

You can get the look for free! I have some special gifts to list off to you starting with some sweet deals at 7 Deadly s{K}ins. Right now the group join fee is free (I’m not sure how much longer this promotion will last, so hurry!). For the month of January, your group gift is 400L in-store credit! Just go to the credit terminal with your group tag on and click it to get your credit to go towards any purchase!

Don’t forget that 7 Deadly s{K}ins has a nice assortment of lucky letter boards, mini mania boards, and midnight mania boards accessible to group members. While I was there picking up my free 400L store credit, my letter came up on one of the lucky boards, and I got the Vyra skin for free! It includes the face and body Omega appliers in a full fatpack of skintones! I was thrilled with this free beautiful skin pictured above.

More free stuff…

Byrne has out their free goodies for January as well and RAWR are they gorgeous! I picked up the Jungle Queen dress in the group notices (or you can pick it up at the main-store) and the subscriber sent me the matching gloves. The dress and gloves both come in fits for Maitreya, Slink, and Belleza to fit your mesh body needs.

Getting ready…

Winter parties will soon be starting. All those invitations will be going out for the get togethers at different friends’ houses. I knew I needed the perfect dress to spark conversation. I can usually find what I’m looking for at Byrne! Their POE gift was no exception and I fell in love with this combination dress and mesh fur stole.

The dress has side cut outs to make it just a bit risky, while the white fur stole adds a bit of class. And of course since this is a POE Hunt gift, you can pick it up free by going to Byrne and hunting down the globe.

Dress sizes available:

• Maitreya – Lara
• Slink – Physique & Hourglass
• Belleza – Freya, Isis, & Venus
