Cheap Thrills

It probably is not a good idea to ask a witch if she can turn someone into a frog. She just might show you. It is however a good idea to ask me about the 12 linden gifts by Firelight and Nerdy Girl at the current round of Twe12ve. Most, if not all of the participating shops have a 12-linden item along with their event items and exclusives. I picked up the hair gift by Firelight and the clothing gift by Nerdy Girl. Keep reading for some info about each of these 12 linden finds, or scroll down for the credits. As for me, I’m gonna enjoy this frog!

Firelight

I really like this high ponytail hairstyle by Firelight. The long wispy bangs make me think of Bridget Bardot and that is never a bad thing. This hairstyle is the Firelight 12 linden gift at Twe12ve. It comes in 2 sizes and has a color change hud with the choice of either the dark brown shade shown, or a light brown shade. There’s no need to join a group to get this special price, just look for the little gift vendor at the Firelight stall at the Twe12ve event.

Nerdy Girl

The top by Nerdy Girl I’m wearing is also just 12 linden at Twe12ve. It comes in quite a few sizes, and has an alpha layer so it is suitable for classic non-mesh avatars. This cute baby-doll style top has a color/texture change hud with 6 solid color choices, and 6 prints. Again, there’s no need for any group, just pay the gift vendor 12 linden.

Sizes Included: Maitreya Lara, TMP, Slink (Hourglass, Phsique), Belleza (Venus, Freya, Isis), Standard Mesh (xs – XL) + Alpha Layer

The Lady of Misrule

Tomorrow is Epiphany!  That means the 12th day of Christmas, bringing the end of the season, alas!  In the days of yore, one used to celebrate with a cake that contained a bean (many people still do!) and the person who found it was crowned the Lord or Lady of Misrule.  That would mean you could order everyone else about for the night!  I am that Lady of Misrule, and I command you all to go forth and get some freebies!

Showcase your Skills

It’s Designer Showcase’s 8th anniversary, and they’re celebrating with all sorts of gifties!  I joined their group for free and got a boatload of great new things to pad my inventory with.   There are gowns, jumpsuits and dresses galore, so make sure you stop off and grab it all!  Here’s what I chose to show you today:

• FREE Satin Dress by Hilly Haalan sized for Freya, Hourglass, Isis, Maitreya and Physique
• FREE Shoes by Oh Pair!  sized for Freya, Hourglass, Isis, Maitreya, Physique and Venus
• FREE Lipstick Applier by Alma Makeup with appliers for Catwa, Lelutka and Omega

Now, because I am the Lady of Misrule, you really must obey my command, so get over to Designer Showcase and glam yourselves up!

Happy 12th Day to you all!

Radio Gaga

Hello, hello, baby
You called, I can’t hear a thing
I have got no service
In the club, you see, see
Wha-wha-what did you say?
Oh, you’re breaking up on me
Sorry, I cannot hear you
I’m kinda busy

My look today totally makes me think of Lady Gaga.  Don’t these glasses look like something she would wear?  I have always enjoyed her wacky sense of style!

My sparkly purple dress by Entice is a free group gift over at Designer Showcase.  You can grab your own daring number by joining the group for free and finding the gift at the Entice display.  Allison showed you another gift available at the event HERE!  Jump on over as quick as you can and grab your gift!

The View

I love these insane glasses by Since 1975, they feature long strips down the front that are super flashy, and just too much fun.  They even come with an HUD to change parts of the glasses to different metallic hues.  You can get your own pair for free by clicking on the subscriber over at Since 1975 , and then clicking on “history” on the popup message.  You’ll find your gift there!

Have a great Saturday Night!

Summertime, And The Livin’s Easy

Do you know what I like even better than regular gifts? Unexpected surprise gifts! And that’s just what I found as I was browsing Designer Showcase. There are 4 gifts set out in front of Lavian&Co’s booth and they are all seriously fabulous. I had trouble deciding which one to show you today, but finally settled on this cute, casual look.

Summertime

How great is this little outfit? I tried to show you a bit of the back because the top is all untucked and adorable. The whole thing is one piece – the little white shorts don’t change (and why would I want them to, anyway) but the pretty, silky top can be changed to a bunch of different colors with the included HUD. To get the gifts you’ll need to join the free Designer Showcase VIP group and locate Lavian&Co’s set up at Designer Showcase. There you will find the 4 free group gifts that I mentioned earlier.

Sunrise

I stopped for coffee and was writing in my journal when the wind storm blew up off the ocean and disturbed my papers. I had to set everything down and gather it all up again. Thankfully there was plenty of stuff nearby (pots, candles, a plate of cinnamon buns) to act as paperweights… but I took a moment to enjoy the sunrise glowing on the horizon before snapping a picture to share my hunt finds with you.

Dressed for success.

I’m often inspired by locations and clothing in second life. The visuals give me pause and take my breath away. I stumbled across the Summer Diaries Hunt and found several beautiful items, but one of my favorites was this Lolita Micro Dress by Soul Designs. It comes with a color change hud that allows you to choose between 6 colors including gold (shown), teal, red, navy, purple, and black.

Sizes included:

• Standard mesh sizes XXS – L
• TMP
• Maitreya – Lara
• Slink – Hourglass & Physique
• Belleza – Freya, Isis, & Venus

A sweet ocean surprise…

I received a notecard from Chop Zuey yesterday, letting me know that the creator was participating in the Flawless Sim Seashell Hunt. For just 1L I could go to the Designer Showcase, hunt down the seashell there, and come away with some pretty jewelry. I wasted no time! In the picture you can see the matching necklace and earrings, but the set also comes with two beautiful anklets that go with the set as well!

A Fab Free Breakfast Club

Hello Again Fab Free’rs! There are a few more days left to pick up the many FREE gifts available at the Anniversary round of Designer Showcase, so I chose a few more to share with you. I also couldn’t help but notice all the 80s and 90s movie nostalgia on the blog. I like it! Finally, did not go unnoticed that Carson claimed the role of Fab Free Black Sheep. That made me smile, and chuckle a little. To quote the best of all the John Hughes movies, the truth is “… that each one of us is a brain, an athlete, a basket case, a princess, and a criminal…” or perhaps in some instances a black sheep.

A Dress for a Princess & a Basket Case…

This mixed floral and animal print dress is the FREE Designer Showcase gift from Kendrasy Creations. No matter if you’re a princess, a brain, an athlete, a basket case, or perhaps even a criminal, this dress is perfect for a night out. The dress comes in body-specific mesh sizes for Maitreya Lara, Slink Physique, Slink Hourglass, eBody, Belleza Isis, Belleza Freya, and Belleza Venus. I must admit, I do feel like a sassy princess in this dress. As with all the gifts at the Designer Showcase, you’ll need to join the Designer Showcase group to pick up this FREE gift. The Designer Showcase group is FREE to join.

… and the Jewelry to Match 

Yet another FREE gift at the Designer Showcase Anniversary round is this gorgeous jewelry set from Moondance Boutqiue. The necklace in the photo comes with a matching pair of dangle earrings. In addition the set can be resized and recolored with the scripted touch menu. This means the jewelry will match virtually any outfit whether you’re the princess or the basket case, or like me and a little bit of both! Don’t forget to wear that Designer Showcase group tag to get your gifts.

Here are the Details, Enjoy!

Everybody Cut Footloose

Well hello Fab Free’rs! I’m happy to be here, and excited about the Fabulous freebies I get to share with you. For those that aren’t already aware, the Designer Showcase event is celebrating an anniversary this month. If there’s anything we have learned from the anniversaries of other events it’s that anniversaries often mean gifts! This anniversary round of Designer Showcase is no different in that aspect. There are so many gifts, I didn’t even try to count them. That said, I of course picked a few of my personal favorites to share with you here. I can’t deny I watched the original 1984 version of Footloose yesterday evening and it completely inspired the way I chose to style this look!

1 Hundred Hoodie

This one-piece applier hoodie is the FREE Designer Showcase Anniversary gift from 1 Hundred. I really like how cute this hoodie is on its own, but I can attest that it looks equally cute with a pair of jeans. There is a hood add-on for some added dimension. This gift includes classic system layers, and an all-in-one applier hud with appliers for just about every mesh body part out there (at least it seems that way). The hud works for mesh bodies, booties, and breasts. You will need to join the Designer Showcase group and wear the group tag to pick up this gift. The Designer Showcase group is FREE to join.

Entice – Simple Life 

I just had to add in these nail appliers from Entice. They are so cute, and since I didn’t manage to get a decent up-close photo, I uploaded the vendor ad so you can see how cute these manicures are. This polish set is the FREE Designer Showcase Anniversary gift from Entice. I love the little gold studs and the matte finish. As you can see from the photo this nail applier hud will work for Belleza, Slink, Maitreya, and Omega compatible nails. Also, don’t forget you need to join the Designer Showcase group and wear that group tag to pick up the gifts.

It’s Legen… wait-for-it… daire!

Hey there Fab Free! As always I’m happy you’re here. I’ve got some pretties from Designer Showcase to share with you this post. This round of Designer Showcase has some FREE group gifts from Legendaire and Chop Zuey. In addition, Empire put out their March group gift and it just happens to match perfectly with the gifts from Designer Showcase. I love it when various gifts come together to make an awesome outfit.
The gift from Chop Zuey is this uniquely pretty blue and gold bindi. This truly unique piece of jewelry is perfect for adding some glam to an outfit. As with anything from Chop Zuey this FREE gift is highly detailed and textured. It can also be easily re-sized with a click. To get this great gift, head over to Designer Showcase and join the Designer Showcase event. The group is FREE to join, so no reason to hesitate on this.

Also a FREE gift at Designer Showcase is this chic sophisticated outfit from Legendaire. I really like the cut and style of this outfit. It’s fully mesh and comes in several sizes. The top also includes a color/texture change hud making the outfit very versatile. Don’t forget, you’ll also need your Designer Showcase tag to pick up this generous gift.

I love wearing red shoes with dark pants. These adorable buckled pumps are the March group gift at Empire. The shoes come in a Maitreya specific fit, a Slink fit, and a Belleza fit. Additionally there are cute little bows that you can attach that are across the straps and toe (not shown) if you want to add a little daintiness to this already cute shoe. Finally, there is also a color change HUD that allows you to change the color of the shoes/bows by choosing between 12 colors, and you can pick between 3 choices for the color of the buckles. The Empire group has a one time join fee of 250 lindens. Considering the quality of the group gifts so far, I can honestly say that I think the fee is well worth it.

Here are the details, Enjoy!
