Somewhere in Lost Lagoon

Hi there, Fabulous Readers!  I’m popping in quickly on this Monday evening to share a hunt prize that I scooped up along the Peace by Peace Hunt 2 path.  The package includes the complete outfit (minus flip flops and necklace), all for just 1L.  That makes it a super thrifty Fabulous Find!  Ladies, don’t despair, there is a female hunt gift hidden for you in the shop, too!

Stripes and Solids

With a t-shirt (I know, I know I didn’t wear it for my picture), a long sleeved button down shirt, and khaki colored shorts, I’m ready for just about any weather summer will direct my way.  My olive green top features gleaming buttons, shoulder straps, and solid pockets.  The knee length shorts include coordinated striped cuffs and a handy belt.  Since it was a warm spring day when I snapped my photo, I opted not to wear the white t-shirt that the designer thoughtfully tucked inside the box.  With three fitmesh versions, as well as classic mesh included in the package, it was easy to find the right fit for my Belleza Jake body.  To pick up a copy for yourself, simply head over to Dark Water Designs and locate the puzzle piece concealed within.  Once you do, pay one Linden dollar, and this look is all yours!

What’s Included:

• Fitmesh version 1, 2 and 3 (with and without the t-shirt)
• Classic mesh in S, M, L (with and without the t-shirt)
• Shorts in 4 sizes
• Alpha layer for shirts (with and without t-shirt)
• Alpha layer for shorts

I’m off to see what other items I can discover along the hunt trail.  Until my next post, happy hunting!

Faded Blue

Hello Fabulous Readers.  So, the other day, I couldn’t get Ripley to even open his eyes just a tiny bit, but my animal magnetism is working fine on the ladies over at Mystical Fae sim as you can see from my snapshot.  They just didn’t stop following me around.  I think they approved of my latest outfit, which I picked up for just 50L at the Sunny Side Up Sale at The Wash.  You’ve probably seen Aline’s and Love’s posts featuring beautiful items for the gals, but I’m here to tell you the guys haven’t been forgotten!

Dark Water and Faded Denim

As soon as I saw the casual Faded Denim Weekend Set at the Dark Water Designs cart, I knew I had to grab a copy for myself.   For just 50L, I was able to add a complete outfit to my summer wardrobe… a great deal!  The light blue button down shirt comes with the open/bare chested version I’m wearing, as well as one which includes a white tee for those cooler days.  Knee length white twill shorts complete the look.  I like the added detail of the belt at the waistline.  The package contains fit mesh and classic versions.  By adjusting the alpha layer on my Belleza mesh body, I was able to wear everything with no problem.   The sale at The Wash continues on through May 16th, so you still have plenty of time to scoop up this warm weather staple for yourselves.

Sizes Included:

• Fit Mesh v1, v2, v3
• Classic Mesh in S, M, L
• Alpha layers for shirt with tee and no tee
• Alpha Layer for shorts

Until next time, happy shopping!

Cute Roses

Hi Again Fab Free’rs! I’m excited to share more of my finds from the Cart Sale going on at The Wash. Aside from the obvious allure of completely affordable prices, a big draw to the Cart Sales put on at The Wash for me is the opportunity to try out shops I’m not super familiar with. One such shop is Dark Water Designs. Along with some very cute casual ladies clothing, they had some casual menswear at the Dark Water Designs cart. I picked up the flirty fringe top, and a cute jogger set. Keep reading for the details!

A Rose by Any Other Name

This pretty halter top with the rose appliques and the fringe was too cute to pass up at the Dark Water Designs cart. It comes in one other color (sold separately). It also fits really well, and comes in many mesh sizes. There is also an alpha layer included with this top so it is suitable for classic avatars.

Mesh Sizes Included:  Standard Mesh (xs – XL), Maitreya Lara, Tonic (Curvy, Fine), ebody, Slink (Hourglass, Physique), TMP, Ocacin, Belleza (Freya, Isis, Venus)

Cute as Can Be

The other item I picked up at the Dark Water Designs cart, and I’m glad I did, is this “Cute” jogger set. The set includes the hooded jacket and matching jogger style pants in pink and black. This two-piece outfit comes in several mesh sizes, and the jacket and pants can also be worn separately. Additionally there are alpha layers for the jacket and pants so they can be worn by classic avatars. I love the detail in the lettering across the back. It really is very cute!

Mesh Sizes Included: Standard Mesh (xs – XL), Maitreya Lara, Tonic (Curvy, Fine), ebody, Slink (Hourglass, Physique), TMP, Ocacin, Belleza (Freya, Isis, Venus)

Santa Squad

 

Are you naughty or nice?

You may not know this but I am a member of the Santa Squad. I report back to the North Pole with details on my fellow bloggers here at FabFree, letting the big guy know if they have been naughty or nice.  I hate to say it, but the list has mixed results. It’s a good thing there are still a few weeks left before Christmas….

The good list…

If you are good (and can find the hunt item) you can have two of the items I am wearing as FREE gifts! The Santa Squad Military Shirt with Tee is the Peace on Earth Hunt gift provided by Dark Water Designs. The shirt comes in two styles, with the tee (shown) and without.  And both styles come in sizes S-L and also in three fitmesh sizes. Get on the good team wearing this shirt. You can also pick up the Winter Newsboy Cap, the Peace on Earth Hunt gift from Couture Chapeau. With a built in resizer, it even fit my buckethead easily.

Peace on Earth Hunt Preview: That’s My Chair

I have just one thing to say… “That’s my chair!”.

Here’s the story…

I was at home doing a little holiday decorating while he was sprawled out on the sofa watching Supergirl, half in and out of sleep.  I asked him if he wanted to help, but he declined with some kind of a completely committed head shake that oddly enough didn’t rattle his eyeballs off of the TV screen.  I really knew better than to try to compete with spandex and capes, but I thought I’d ask.

I continued on my merry way, humming jingle bells and rezzing out all of the holiday decor, and came across a really nice holiday printed chair by Kusshon for the Peace on Earth Hunt.  I rez it out with it’s cute little side table and before I could sit in it – HE yells “DIBS!” from the sofa.  Where did that even come from?  He was in “the dork zone”! “What?” I responded  and he says it again “DIBS!” as he flies across the room and sits in MY chair!  I nearly dropped my break-a-balls (that’s what I used to call the glass ball ornaments on the tree that I wasn’t allowed to place as a kid – Mom called them breakables but that’s not what my little ears heard and then it stuck).

This is really becoming a longer story than I wanted it to be, so here’s where it shortens up.  We fought furiously over the chair for 2 long days, until we realized that…  it’s copy and we can both have one. -.-  I rezzed one out for him too, but as you can see from the photo, he’s still a little grumpy-cat.  It will be a miracle if we can sit together in these chairs peacefully by Christmas Day.

Tending the Info Hub

 Sprucing it Up..

I’m putting a shine on the FabFree Info Hub to have it look it’s best for the start of The Wash Cart Sale for all the visitors to the sim looking for great deals on some fabulous items.  While she is out shopping I thought I’d give the flowers a much needed drink. I didn’t mind that she was browsing the carts without me, because I snuck out early and picked up a few items on my own. Shhhh… Don’t tell her.

Autumn Attire..

There are so many great finds for 10L and 50L. I purchased the Quilted and Fleeced Wide Pants, Pullover and Matching Scarf from Dark Water Designs for just 10L. This outfit comes in several colors each just $10L.

Adding some Color…

I felt that the Info Hub needed some much needed color so I purchased both the Southfork Plant Stand and the Southfork Tough Planter Set from Low Prim Living for just 10L each. The Tough Planter comes with a watering can and an animation to give those thirsty plants a drink. You can also change the flowers in the trough to suit almost any design choice. And don’t forget to check out the gachas , the yard sale and oh yeah, the FREE gifts to celebrate the Cart Sale’s 10th anniversary! The Wash Cart Sale is on now until November 1st.

Coffee Contemplations

Summer Cabin Fever…

Who would have thought I’d be going stir crazy in my own house in the middle of summer?  I don’t count my numerous travels to appointments as relaxing outside time, but I am finding excuses to venture out just for a change of scenery. I’ve been enjoying my morning coffee on the deck with my Kindle in hand just to feel the sun on my face and hear the morning birds sing.  I’ve been taking evening walks at a local walking path, and even dragging walking the dog when I’m up to it. All these things give me a sense of normalcy.

Take a walk and shop….

I took a walk (virtually speaking) down to The Wash for the Cart Sale. There are many items on display for guys with nothing over 10L.  It officially doesn’t start until tomorrow, but most vendors have booths up and running.  I picked out and outfit from the selection of men’s clothing to choose from. I always make sure I stop at the Dark Water Designs cart for some inexpensive clothing pieces. This round of the Cart Sale has three different layered shirt prints and I chose the Palm Leaf Layered Shirt. I matched it with the Faded Tan Cargo Shorts, each just 10L. I also looked through the selection of shoes at Poeme. Although the fitted sneakers are for women, there are a few patterns that could be considered unisex and using the unrigged version, I made it easily fit my man sized feet. I chose the Happy Blue Canvas Chucks, also just 10L.

Rest and catch my breath…

After all that walking I needed to sit down. Lucky for me I was near the Park Place Home Decor cart and found a Bright Director’s Chair, another 10L find. This chair comes with many sits for both males and females. It also has animations for drinking coffee or wine and even provides the drinks. I’ll just sit here for a bit and watch the passersby while i catch my breath. I hope to see you down at The Wash Cart Sale that (offically) begins tomorrow and runs through July 5th.

The things I do for Love

The Honey-do List…

She nagged asked me repeatedly to make her a new vegetable garden on the other side of the horse pasture. The only way to get her to stop nagging asking repeatedly was to finally cave in happily comply with her wishes. I decided I would mow off the patch before breaking up the sod and tilling the ground.  I asked her exactly where she wanted her new garden as I was pushing the mower in the general direction. “Let me show you!” she happily exclaimed, then she perched herself on top of the handle, guiding me like a lookout in a ship’s crow’s nest. <sigh>  The things I do for Love…

Her supervisor attire…

The summer floral Cotton Top by 1Hundred is available at The Wash Cart Sale for just $10L.  In the pack you’ll find both the peach that she is displaying and also pink. I was told to mention that  “This is a sweet top that is compatible with system bodies, Maitreya, Slink, Belleza, Omega, Wowmeh, and Lola.” Her words, not mine.

His slave work attire….

I am appropriately wearing the kwitchurbitchin Novelty Tee by Park Place that I found for just $10L at The Wash Cart Sale. Also found at The Wash Cart Sale is the b/w Tailored Shorts by Dark Water Designs, also just $10L. My Baseball Cap is a FREE subscriber gift from Argrace.

Follow My Lead….

The pose, Follow My Lead, is a FREE group gift from Drunk-Panda. The Drunk Panda group is FREE to join. (After all this work, I want to be a drunk panda too!) The pose does not come with a lawnmower, but I was lucky enough to win the Spring Garden Green Lawnmower from the gacha at {what next}, which is just $50L per play.
