Celebratory Cupcake

Hello to the Fabulous in the land of pixels. I come to you with free gifts and a sugary sweet cupcake. I also might have had more coffee than usual today. The prizes in this post are my cute floral top/dress from American Bazaar, this cute hair-do by Limerence, and an Anniversary cupcake by Focus Poses.

Cosmopolitan Sales Room Anniversary Gifts

How about that, Cosmopolitan Sales Room is celebrating an Anniversary, and we are all invited! Most of the many participating designers in this round have generously placed out a free gift to help celebrate. The gifts require the free-to-join Cosmo event group. Once you’re wearing your tag you just need to click the sparkly gold gift boxes to get the free gifts. I picked up this cute hairstyle by Limerence. It’s called Diza, and it comes in a “Special” color pack. I tinted mine to this dark brunette shade using the Limerence hud. I also got this tasty cupcake from the Focus Poses gift. This delicious freebie includes the pose as well.

American Bazaar 

I love the casual yet put together look of this loose fitting floral top/dress by American Bazaar. Look at those buttons! It the group gift for the month of May. It claims to be a dress, however it’s a tad sheer in places, and a little short, so I threw on some denim shorts and wore it as a top instead. I think it’s too cute to pass up however you want to wear it. The American Bazaar group is free to join.

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

Ella EMO-tions

Hello Fab Free! Thanks for being here. For this post I’m going to jump right in. I picked up two of the most recent group gifts at PumeC. and the free gift by EMO-tions at the Cosmopolitan Sales Room event. If you’re feelin’ like a bit of a makeover, but don’t want to spend too many lindens, this is the post for you.

PumeC

The skin I’m showing, and the detailed mesh ears are both group gifts at PumeC. Starting with the group gift skin, this gift actually comes with 2 complete skins. The one I am wearing is Ella, and she has a Catwa head applier, the other named Avery is a Genus head applier. In the gift package you’ll also get body appliers including: Legacy, Maitreya, Omega, Belleza, and Slink in the full range of skin tones. Additionally, there is a full set of BOM skins for both Avery and Ella.

Next up, these mesh ears are also a free group gift at PumeC. These cute well adorned mesh ears are also a group gift at PumeC. The include a detailed customization hud with preset skin tones, and custom tinting abilities. There are also quite a few settings for the jewelry, and options for tattoos and other accents. The PumeC group has a one time join fee of 399 linden, and there are several group gifts currently available.

EMO-tions

Finally, EMO-tions has a cute group gift hairstyle set out for Cosmopolitan Sales Room event group members. The gift is free, and the Cosmopolitan Sales Room group is free to join. This free hairstyle by EMO-tions consists of 3 braids, and comes in a brunette color pack. It also has hairbases included for non-mesh classic avatars. I think it paired nicely with a hairbase I had from Just Magnetized in my inventory. To get your copy just head over to the Cosmo Sales Room event and join the free-to-join group and click the gift vendor.

Give Me a Song to Sing

I can’t carry a tune most days to save my life, but you better believe I sing. I feel music in my very core, so I sing along. It’s a simple pleasure that can lift my mood and brighten dark days. Another such pleasure is being part of Fabulously Free in SL and sharing freebie finds with all of you. For this post I’m excited to share with you this pretty little dress by Candy Kitten. Keep reading for more information, or scroll on down for the credits.

Candy Kitten

I love this sweetly sexy little dress by Candy Kitten. It is one of the free group gifts at Cosmopolitan Sales Room. The Cosmo group is free to join also. I chose to show the dress from behind because of the cool straps across the back. It comes in several sizes, and has a color change hud with options for the top and lace part of the dress as well as the main part of the dress. I of course went with black on black. I’ve added the vendor ad below so you can see more of this freebie dress.

Do You Remember?

Hellooo Fabulouses!  It may be the end of the summer, but it’s still hot hot hot!  It’s all I can do to keep myself cool!

Swimsuit Deja Vu

You may remember me blogging this Crochet Mila Swimsuit by MOoH! last August [HERE] when it was a free group gift for the MOoH! inworld group (which has a 100L group join fee), but when I stopped in at The Aloha Fair today, I noticed that this same swimsuit is now available as a FREE gift (simply priced at 0L) without a group join at all!  If you were on the fence about joining the MOoH! inworld group because of the fee and missed out on this awesome one piece suit with an extensive texture change HUD, then you should run down to the MOoH! hut at The Aloha Fair and grab it for FREE now 😉

Sizes Included:

• Classic Mesh + Alpha Layers
• Fitmesh XS-XL + Alpha Layers
• Slink
• Maitreya
• Belleza
• Tonic
• TMP
• eBody

ps.  This fun Hand Fan by ChicChica is available at The Cosmopolitan Sales Room, and actually fans and mists.  Too much fun!

A Little Beach Therapy Never Hurt Anyone

Hey there Fabulouses!  After a long, hot stressful week, I took some time out this weekend to check out The Beach Therapy Hunt.  I am super glad I did because I found an amazing bikini set!  I finished up the rest of my beachy look with a pair of free group gift shoes, and the hair with the visor was free too!

Where To Find All The Things…

• •  At Del Alba Creations, you can hunt down the hidden hunt icon for The Beach Therapy Hunt (which is a beach umbrella), and once you have found it…  You can pick it up for 1L and you’ll have the Marisa three piece bikini set shown that includes the bikini top, bottoms and little leafy printed wrap sarong too.

• • These fantastic woven wedge sandals called Anais are made by ZK and are available as a free group gift at The Cosmopolitan Sales Room with a free group join.  They include a texture change hud with a ton of colours and fit Maitreya, Slink and Belleza feet!

• • One more thing…  the hair and hat!  Isn’t this fun for summer?  I was luck enough to get in on the free Midnight Mania offer over at Moon the other day when the Radio Romance hairstyle, including the scrunchie and visor in a fatpack of colours was available!  The Midnight Mania board at Moon is open to all with no group join required and the prizes seem to change daily in a rotation so if you keep at it – you’ll build your hair inventory up in no time with some unique styles in full fatpacks!  Get there early in the day – it locks down at 475, but fills fast!

Say my name, sun shines through the rain

Hi there! I’ve maybe gone a little overboard with the flowers today – they’re on my dress, in my hair, and of course all over my background. But I can’t help it. Flowers are always pretty and they never clash with each other, they just become more beautiful! Huh I feel like there’s a life lesson in there somewhere. I better cut myself off before this becomes another edition of “deep thoughts with Allison.”

Floral Dress

I love this sweet, floral dress from BEO. It’s feminine and sexy all at the same time and hangs just perfect. The more I look at it the more I like it, it’s truly lovely. It is only sized for Maitreya and comes with a HUD that lets you change the color of the belt. The BEO group is free to join and you’ll find this dress in the store as a free group gift.

Tippy Toes

These super cute flip flops are another of the Cosmopolitan free group gifts. I posted all the details of this event yesterday, and you can find links in that post to the others posts on the subject. These shoes come in just one size, which fit my Maitreya high feet perfectly. They include a HUD that lets you pick different colors, too. These will definitely become a summer staple for me!

Frock Your Body

Good morning Fabulouses!

As Serena mentioned in her I ❤ Holidays (and FREE gifts)! post, Maitreya has several free group gifts under their Christmas tree for their inworld group members with a free group join.  I picked them up for myself too, and found that my favourite of the bunch is this gorgeous Draped-Back (Yes it has a very sexy low back!) Bodycon Dress in Burgandy.  This dress is Maitreya specific, but it may work with other bodies as well.  Give it a try!

Put Your Best Free Foot Forward

There are also some fab burgandy boots under the Maitreya Tree that match perfectly with this dress however, I was itching to show off the second group gift at N-Core.  Remember I showed you one of them last night in my post Not Ready To Let Go of My Holiday Knits?  These sweet glittery pumps with fur at the heel are called Kate Fur and are the second group gift you can grab with your N-Core group tag (299L to join).  Again, I’m showing the vendor ad so you can see the colour options.

Foot Compatibility:

• N-Core
• Maitreya
• Slink
• Belleza
• TMP
