You Can Never Hold Back Spring

You Can Never Hold Back Spring

Spring has sprung in my neck of the woods!  Now, if we could only get some of those April showers, we’ll be in business.  In RL it’s dry as a bone, but thankfully, you can always find a beautiful spring setting in SL.

Enjoy today

That’s what my shirt is telling me to do, so who am I to ignore it? 😉  I am enjoying my day though, because I’ve got a fresh new outfit to wear, and it was totally free!

Vagrant (and Zerkalo) are having a massive spring sale where everything in the store is 50% off.  In addition, they are also giving away 300L of free store credit to group members.  The group is free to join.  I bought items from 2 different sets today, and I spent exactly 300L.  I’m wearing the Jennifer top and the Ruby shorts from Vagrant.  I bought the fatpack of each, in my body size, for 150L each.  Sweet!  Each one of these separates comes sized for:

  • Lara X
  • Legacy/Perky
  • Reborn

The sale and credit are available through March 10th, don’t sleep on this one!

As an added bonus, the lucky boards at *Tentacio* have actually changed again!  I won the ‘More flowers day’ pack on the board, and the bouquet I’m holding is one piece of that.  No group is needed to win, the 4 prizes are completely free as soon as your letter comes up!

Peace ☮️

Photograph

Photograph

OK, this blog post has nothing to do with a ‘photograph’ even though it is a picture.  I chose this song though, because once I was posed, my internal brain starting singing ‘Look at this kittycat, every time I do it makes me laugh’ and then the memes were flashing in my brain and then I just had to use it.  LOL  It’s a little weird in my head. 😉

Curses, foiled again

Does anyone remember who said that?  When my brain is being weird, it is being WEIRD.  That was a quote from Snidley Whiplash from the cartoon Rocky and Bullwinkle!  (I hope Fuku is reading this post)  I went to Cupid’s Curse that Aline told you about HERE and came home with a ton of free gifts, and I didn’t even need a group!

  • Free outfit by MicRo (sized for: Lara X, Legacy, Reborn)
  • Free kitten by TRAP (bunbun, kitten and grumpy kitten versions)
  • Free glasses by VARITII (fatpack hud)
  • Free earrings by Vesta (in gold and silver)

I actually had bought this kitten at Kustom 9 months ago in Halloween colors, and I was so excited to see it as a gift for Valentine’s Day.  D’aw, cute stuff is the best stuff.

IMPORTANT!  You WILL need panties.  The skirt is more like a cummerbund …. lol.  I used the ‘safety pants’ that were a gift from the last round of Midnight Order, and it made the skirt look like shorts, which is perfect.

Cupid’s Curse is open through the end of the day, TODAY March 2nd, hurry!  (I have no idea what time they close but they are open as of this post)

In a Sea of Daisies

In a Sea of DaisiesHello Fabulous Readers!  This beautiful field of daisies and wildflowers proved to be the perfect backdrop for my photo of a free sweater and a budget-friendly pair of trousers.  If you haven’t visited Le Monde Perdu since the season change, I highly recommend the trip.

Soft and Light

The Bibi sweater from MOoH! is a free gift for members of the Fabulously Free in SL group.  She features a mock turtleneck, a slightly ribbed, knitted texture, and a playful asymmetrical cut that leaves your right arm and shoulder bare.  Its cropped fit highlights your waist and allows your skin to soak in the springtime sunshine.  The designer includes a texture HUD with ten colors, making this free gift quite versatile.  To pick up a copy for yourself, activate your Fab Free group tag and tap the vendor.

Mesh Body Compatibility:

  • Kupra
  • Legacy and Legacy Perky
  • Maitreya and Maitreya Petite
  • Reborn

Tailored to Bloom

I opted for a monochromatic color scheme and completed the look with Dara Pants from VOOH.  These high-waisted white jeans hug your curves beautifully.  A wide waistband with double buttons, jetted pockets with angled flaps, and vertical stitching add subtle visual interest.   The folder includes pants for flat, mid, and high feet, as well as a texture HUD to customize the metallic buttons.  You can purchase these sleek trousers for just 50L$ on the Marketplace.

Mesh Body Compatibility:

  • Belleza Freya, Isis and Venus
  • Classic in XXS, XS, S, M, and L (includes alpha layer)
  • Maitreya
  • Slink Hourglass and Physique
  • Tonic Curvy and Fine
  • TMP

Together, these pieces create an outfit that’s ideal for ushering in warm spring days in style without breaking the bank.  Until our next post, happy shopping!

Where Spring Blooms

Where Spring Blooms
Hello Fabulous Readers!  In her post here, Aline shared a find from the Love Bites Hunt.  She inspired us to head over to the floating islands and see what we could discover.

Fit For a Fairy Dream

The Anabella dress from Ruxy is well worth the time searching the Queens Garden sim.  This halter-style mini features a plunging neckline, an ornately embellished collar, and a gathered bodice with draped ties.  Its brown and rose-pink palette reminds me of a spring landscape.  The skirt allows for ease of movement with a daring side slit.  It’s just so pretty and feminine!  A word of caution, the bodice is quite revealing, and you might want to use strategically placed hair or a plain body skin to preserve modesty.  (I used the Ipanema Body Skin tattoo layer from Velour to keep the girls one solid shade).  To add this beauty to your inventory, locate the pink “Blow Kiss” candy heart #3 and pay the 25L$ fee.

Mesh Body Compatibility:

  • Ebody Reborn
  • Legacy
  • Maitreya LaraX

Anabella feels a bit enchanted thanks to the appliqued floral accents on the collar and waist.  I think it would work well with a pair of wings to create an outfit perfect for a fairy princess on a journey to Rivendell.  If you love this dress as much as I do, don’t delay.  The hunt ends on February 22nd.  Until our next post, happy hunting!

Chantilly Lace

Chantilly Lace

Hey Fabs!  Happy Monday?  What on earth possessed me to spend my rare Sunday off working in the yard yesterday?  I’m sore and have some sun, but I guess it’s best to get it done now, so I can enjoy moments like the one in my photo when it’s time.

I feel ded but look marvelous

Leave it to SL fashion to make me look good when I don’t feel so good.  Last month I was so excited when I found a new group gift at Fashionably Dead, and suddenly there’s another one!  Typically I’m not big on lace, but oh my goodness do I love this top.  It is the most gorgeous (hand-stitched, I’m sure!) lace I’ve seen, and it comes as a giant fatpack of colors.  It comes rigged for:

  • Gen X Classic/Curvy
  • Lara X/Petite X/Lara
  • Legacy/Perky
  • Reborn/Waifu

The Fashionably Dead group is just 100L to join and there’s some other uber gorgeous pieces and outfits on the wall you can pick up for free when wearing your tag.

I added the last pieces I hadn’t blogged from the group gift wall at Sigma to my outfit.  For just 10L group join you can grab so many gorgeous pieces of jewelry, almost all of them fatpacks.  I’m wearing the Ora necklace and the Spear earrings in this picture.  If you’re in need of some timeless pieces, Sigma is a go-top stop!

Peace ☮️

Total Eclipse of the Heart

Total Eclipse of the Heart

So I know that Wren blogged the group gift this month at Carol’s Store (350L credit!) HERE, but there’s also an adorable little top I love you can pick up free at the Shop&Hop, plus some other gifts to match, so here I am!

Hearts of red

My friends and I often giggle about how everything in February is a total eclipse of hearts if you will 😉 but I actually adore these gifts covered in these tiny red hearts.  They get the point across without being obnoxious about it. 😉   Yep, this is another Shop&Hop post, but I loved these gifts and don’t want you to miss them!

  • Free Halter top by Carol’s Store (rigged for: Lara/Lara X/Petite X, Legacy/Perky/Bombshell, Erika, Reborn/Waifu, Kupra, Momma, Gex X Classic/Curvy, Nhumana)
  • Free Stockings from Evora (with mesh bows, in red, white and black, BOM)
  • Free Headband from SUN Fashion

You all know I’m a sucker for socks, and these were just so sweet and delicate.  I’ve gotta say, though, this headband with the dragonfly sings to me.  I feel like this outfit makes me look like Daisy Duke in the 60’s.

The Valentine Shop&Hop is open through February 16th, and here’s our spreadsheet to help you along!

Two Princes

Two Princes

Hey Fabs!  Ever since I got this frog prince I’m holding (in a hunt, but unfortunately there’s no documentation or creator to credit for it) I’ve wanted to do a post to this song.  Now, thanks to Aardvark, I have two princes and I’m ready!

Royalty

A frog prince is my best hope, I think, besides, maybe one will turn into a human prince if I kiss it enough 😉   I’m wearing the colors of love to help me win them over, too.  I picked up this outfit over at Via Fulo, it was part of Reborn Revealed, and now it’s just added to the group gift wall.  The outfit is a fatpack and the group is free to join too!  It comes rigged for:

  • Lara X
  • Legacy
  • Reborn/Waifu
  • PhatPussy

Then, I added some gifts I picked up over at the Valentine Shop&Hop!  The froggo I’m wearing on my head is the free gift from Aardvark.  It comes for your shoulder too, and has a version with a crown or a bow.  It’s animesh, adorable and everything.

I do hope you can see my nails.  They are a free gift from Nives, and I know you readers are always asking us for more nails!  These are a medium coffin C-tip shape and have a Valentine pattern, they’re so very pretty.  If nothing else, you can see a good picture of them on the spreadsheet.  They are rigged for:

  • Belleza Gen X Classic/Curvy
  • Erika
  • Kupra/Kups
  • Maitreya/Lara X
  • Legacy
  • Reborn
  • Yentements BBL
  • Slink

The Valentine Shop&Hop is open through February 16th and there are over 280 free gifts waiting for you!  See them all here on the Fab Free Shop&Hop Spreadsheet.

The Smallest Meow

The Smallest Meow
Hello Fabulous Readers!  Gus and I are popping in quickly to share some free gifts from the Valentine Shop and Hop with you.  We hope you like them as much as we do!

She’s All Heart

I picked up this Pop Fluffy Sweater and Skirt set over at the Zex booth at the event.  The top features a fuzzy texture, extra-long sleeves, and a cropped hemline.  Bright white hearts scattered across the pink background make this a perfect statement piece for the upcoming holiday.  The waistband on the matching skirt dips just below the navel, and generous pleats offer freedom of movement.  The mini’s hem is short enough to be sassy, but long enough to keep you covered.  Best of all, the duo is a free gift that is yours for the taking at the Shop and Hop!

Mesa Body Compatibility:

  • Legacy Classic and Perky
  • Maitreya Lara and Lara X
  • Reborn and Waifu

Bejeweled

Bejeweled

There are so many generous designers taking part in the Shop and Hop!  Over at the Lex booth, I picked up my Starry earrings.  These dangly baubles have multiple tiers and two tiny stars.  Using the enclosed HUD, you can customize the accessories, but I thought the way they looked right out of the box was perfect for my outfit.  I can almost hear the gentle tinkling sounds the earrings make as I walk around.  Like my clothes, these baubles can be yours for free.  Just locate the gift box and tap the vendor.

A Purr-fect Princess

For our final gift from the Shop and Hop, I must give credit to Gus.  As we were wandering around the event, he suddenly froze and stood with his nostrils quivering.  Once he zeroed in on a location, he was off, and there was nothing I could do but follow.  At the SEmotion Libellune booth, he pointed to the Kitty Princess Companion with his tail wagging wildly.  We named his new little sister Gracie, and she is just adorable!  She has pink fur with white on her cheeks/chin, paws, and the tip of her tail.  She has a way of mewing silently and blinking her eyes that makes me want to promise her an unending supply of tuna and toys.  She comes with an animation HUD with three options; my favorite is when she “makes biscuits.”  It’s just so cute!  Like the other items from the Shop and Hop, the Kitty Princess Companion is free (but just be aware that you’ll probably fall under the cat’s spell and find yourself buying stock in a pet supply company).  The kitten will follow you around on the ground, but I edited Gracie so I could hold her in a pose.

Until our next post, happy shopping!

Shy Little Frog

Shy Little Frog

I think I found Toadstool in world because I saw an ad for a store named Fairiebum, and I wanted to go check it out.  Fairiebum is a store for child avatars, with crayon face scribbles and Toddledoo clothes, not what I was looking for (but the stuff is super cute).  Around the corner though, is Toadstool, a store I know well because they make all the adorable mushroom and flower hats I have blogged from Marketplace and events.  So, wander in I did, and I didn’t leave disappointed.

Froggo friend

Immediately in front of me when I walked in the store is a panel with group gifts.  A quick check that the group was free to join, and I went shopping. 😉   I was reminded of a song I heard on an Indie radio channel at some point, and so I took my froggo friend to the forest in the moonlight for a song and a stroll.  I don’t normally wear a dolly dress and pink cowboy accessories for a walk in the forest, but that’s what SL is for!  These are the free gifts in my picture:

  • Free Dolly dress (in PBR, rigged only for Reborn)
  • Free Cowboy hat (in pink)
  • Free Frog stuffie (with right or left holds and unrigged)

Everything is adorable on it’s own, even if it doesn’t quite make sense together ….. lol.  If you’re into cottage core, Toadstool is calling your name!

Long Cool Woman (In a Black Dress)

Long Cool Woman (In a Black Dress)

Hey Fabs!  I’m back again with more inventory cleaning finds! 😉  I got to my folder of advent items from Goldsquare, and there are some gorgeous gifts in here!  I flew over to the store to see ALL of the 31 free gifts in the 2025 Advent Calendar are still out and available to anyone who wears the group tag.

The gift that keeps on giving

Every year, it’s always the Goldsquare calendar.  Not only does she allow you to get past gifts, she fills this thing to the brim for the whole month!  Generally, too, once it ends, the gifts don’t disappear, they just move to the gift room.  You can currently pick up the last 2 years of Advent gifts there.  The Goldsquare group is only 9L to join.  Woah.

I found this black dress in Day 31 I believe, it’s one of 2 versions.  It’s rigged to fit:

  • Lara X/Petite X
  • Legacy/Perky
  • Reborn

I would hurry on over there and pick up these gifts if you want them.  If for some reason you don’t find them at the end of the runway, take a peek in the gift room.  You’re going to find a gold mine of gifts from Goldsquare.

Don’t forget accessories

Last week I blogged a pair of guillotine earrings I found at Caprice, and when I joined the group for free, I also brought home these Vintage moon earrings (in black and white).  They were perfect to match the gold trim on my hat too.

I’ve blogged this clutch before but I’ll mention it again, because it is super. It’s the Kisslock Clutch and it’s a group gift over at Indigo.  It comes in multiple colors, right and left holds, and the group is free to join.

Peace ☮️
