New Year Brunch

Hiya, New Year’s Day is a time of traditions and resolutions. LOL, like most folks who make those New Year’s resolutions mine are pretty much done for by March. However, the traditions seem to stay year after year.

Sneaking A Taste

Until my 2 of my 3 sons had married, and the last one left home, we had a tradition, my middle son is a New Year’s baby, so every year at midnight we would ring in the new year with birthday cake, and a very tiny glass of champagne. New Years Day I would be up with the sun spending my day in the kitchen cooking a brunch feast for those always hungry boys, while they spent the day in front of the tv watching football games. Jacx seemed to think it was a pretty fair idea to recreate a new year feast while modeling Meander/Me Bonfire Top. This wonderfully detailed cropped sweater is a free group gift. Lemania Indigo owner and creator of Meander/Me is known for using beautiful textures on all her creations. And body sizes oh my goodness there are a lot. The hud for the Bonfire top is a generous 13 color hud in rich fall colors. I would like to thank our sweet Miss Caroline for letting us know that the Meander/Me group is now free to join, and she showed some really fun items from the shop here. There are 41 group gifts available, so joining Meander/Me‘s free group is like getting a whole new wardrobe. 🙂

Day With My Buds

After a hectic week of TP’ing, crowded events, unpacking, sorting, reboxing. A girl just needs a break from time to time. Jacx is modeling on her downtime day, pj pants & a tee, very similar to what I wear in RL at home 🙂 One of the events I have been unpacking is the Swank Pumpkin Hunt event from Oct. 7th-Oct. 31st.  The Free Swank group is required to do the hunt. Arielle has been showing you items she collected from the pumpkins here, here. My find, [Park Place Casuals], a new to me creator has an awesome free [Park Place Casuals] Ladies Tucked Tee – Attitude. Let’s just say this tee is very me, sarcasm is my middle name 😛 Teamed up with the tee is Sn@tch Solstice Leggings (all colors) (sized system undies, pants, appliers Omega, and Slink) for 25L on the freebie and cheapie table. Aline has shown several items from the table here. *Fame* Slippers (sized for Kupra, Legacy, & Maitreya) are a 1L Marketplace find. Hahaha had to include a shoe.  Lastly, some of the mesh creators have heard our requests to include nail appliers for our toenails that match the mesh nails. In response to that Cazimi is creating a new system. For 1L you can get Cazimi Mesh Nails Base Pack Ballerina short for Maitreya, included is 5 color hud matching mesh nail appliers & toenail appliers.

Sweetness & Light

Never underestimate the power of a bit of sweetness and light.  I think that we sometimes forget in this world full of ire and bad temper, that a kind word can take us further than any spewing of bile possibly could.  It’s all about spreading positive vibes as much as you possibly can.  Today, I’m basking in the sweetness and light and trying to pay it forward as best I can.

Confectionery

This sweet and flirty dress is the latest group gift over at Kaithleen’s!  I am totally in love with the tulle skirt and fitted bodice in this lovely lavender shade!  It also comes with an HUD to change the colour of the tutu section of the dress.  You can get your very own by joining the Kaithleen’s group for 199L and clicking on the vendor.  You’ll find a full wall of awesome gifts here, and the word on the street is that the lucky boards have also recently been updated.  While you’re there, you may want to check out the sale going on, many of the designs have been discounted to just 75L!

Celebrations

Humm… Wonder if Arielle can get Sir Paul (here) to come sing “Birthday” at this party? 😛

Fabfree & Me

Happy Birthday to FabFree and Happy Rez Day to me. FabFree and I have grown up together since September 6, 2007. It sure has been an exciting and sometimes bumpy ride to get here 14 years later. About a week or so after Jacx was born, listening to music and dancing at my favorite club. I was talking about the struggle to find affordable clothing. When one of my new friends (a guy (LOL) Said to me ” I have this link for a blog where they show free clothes you can get.” This was my introduction to FabFree. From Farrah and Renee, to the lovely ladies of today, they have kept me and my ever expanding, out of control inventory (101,893 and rising) current with gifts, groups to join, awesome pictures to look at. What more could a girl who loves fashion ask for..
So for the last 14 years every morning while drinking coffee and before I log in to SL, I open FabFree to see where I will be shopping that day. LOL. Sure has been a ton of fun. And I thank FabFree and all the ladies past and present, for helping me be one of the best dressed ladies on the grid. 🙂 For todays festivities, Jacx stopped by Entice for the  Springsteen Dress, (free, No group needed). This sweet strapless mini, comes with 3 different party prints.  Pop over to Entice on your rez day and pick up your free gift. Though you can not see ’em, the lovely big hud Jades Wedges, completed the party going fashion.

Bittersweet

Hello, Fab Free!  I hope you are having a wonderful weekend.  After some retail therapy, I spent the afternoon at the beach today, enjoying the last burst of summer.  The beginning of September is always bittersweet to me.  I look forward to the crisp days of fall, but I’m never really ready for the change of seasons.  Pretty soon, it will be time to pack crop tops and shorts away and pull out cozy sweaters and long pants.  For today though, I am rocking my latest hunt find and a cute pair of shorts.

Loving that Dragon!

This adorable crop top from Grumble features bright pops of color splashed over a black background and slender shoulder straps that allow my skin to soak up the sun.  I really love the jewel tones in the pattern, which draws inspiration from the theme of the Love the Dragon Hunt 2.  Both Jacx and I have already shared hunt items here and here, but with 42 stops along the way, there are plenty of other budget-friendly goodies hidden on the trail.  Each hunt prize has a 3L price tag, but the sponsor fees are for the IKSDP Harambee project Gwassi Kenya schools.  It feels good to scoop up some new items for my wardrobe and support a worthy cause at the same time.  The event runs through September 30th.

Rained Out

The clouds are gathering ominously overhead, and I feel like my afternoon tea party is going to be awash with…water.  Though the heavens may be about to open up, I’ve got a plan B on the go where we move all our fresh dainties to the indoors to preserve our party dresses and best tresses.  Indoors we go!

Dressed to Impress

Whenever a tea party is on the menu, one must needs have a perfect party dress!  This one from Lybra really fits the bill, and happily it’s completely free!  I headed over to the Lybra table at The Free Dove to find this beauty.  I joined the Free Dove group for free, then clicked on the box and ’twas all mine!  Doesn’t get much better than that.

There’s a new group gift at Astralia right now, this little paw-fect chair is so adorable I can hardly stand it.  When you join the Astralia group for 149L, you can get this sweet little seat which comes with different colour options for the paws-itively adorable cushions.  Right, I’m running out of cat puns, so I’d better wrap this up!

Happy tea sandwiches to you all!

Binge Worthy

Binge It!

I’ve been binging Outlander on Netflix, let me tell you… those accents are enough to make any girl want to travel back 200 years ago. If you haven’t had a chance to peep it out, it’s on my top list of suggestions for you. Keep in mind there are a lot of sensual scenes as well as some other Mature Rated content. For me, it’s a wonderful step back in time and not worry about what’s going on in real life. I must say, I’m currently on season 3 and I am so thankful that I started when I did because I don’t know if I could have made it waiting for one episode at a time.

Hearts on fire

ChicModa had released their free gift Ettie Heart Top in February, which means this adorable creation won’t be around much longer! This pink long sleeve top with a heart cutout is the sweetest addition to any cute picture you want to snap during your adventure! Make sure you snag this before it disappears!

Dreams

Dreams are what you make them

There is nothing better than a dimly lit room to let your daydreams go wild. While the silence overcomes your ears and your mind drifts off to your quiet place… you feel a calm warm blanket of peace envelope you. You feel your arms grow heavy as your body slips into a lovely tranquil meditation, feeling your mind drift from one thought to another, then another you realize that you are in a state of contentment. Nothing bad can happen to you here, not here, you are safe at this desk in your dimly lit room.
