Blowing Kisses

OK Fabs, I’ve got some wonderful gifts for you today from some paid groups, and they’re both worth joining!

Funny story

If you’re in our in-world group chat, no doubt you’ve seen us talk about the New Resident Help Area on Firestorm Island, a place where avatars under 90 days of age can go and pick up all kinds of things to get started, mesh heads and bodies, clothing, hair, jewelry.  It’s a very wonderful place to send all the new avatars too when they join Fab Free.  I went to check it out, and I saw an outfit there by one of my absolute favorite designers, Fashionably Dead, (fd) for short.  I fell in love with the top she has there, but seeing as though I’m 17 and not under 90 days, I had no chance to grab it. 😉  I went to the store to see if it was for sale, and it wasn’t, but it WAS up on the gift wall!  Hooray!  The group join is 100L and there’s some gorgeous free gifts you can pick up there.  This Open-Back Burnout top is fantastic.  I love the light cotton feel and the way it hangs on my body.  It’s a full fatpack too!  It comes rigged for:

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

Please do stop in and take a look around.  The group gifts are a steal for the 100L group join, you can see my blog posts of other gifts you can pick up HERE and HERE.  You can never go wrong buying something from f.d.!  I’ve been a fangirl the entirety of my SLife. 😉

And then!

When I was trying to figure out what to pair my top with, I was hit with a notice from Faga.!  There’s a new group gift hairstyle in the store, called Elysium.  It is a full fatpack and comes with or without bangs, and you can move the pony to either side.  It’s a really a very well done style, and I’m happy that Johnny worked with Truth in perfecting his skill.  He’s really making some nice stuff over there.  There are other free group gifts that aren’t on display, but there’s a graphic under this gift that you can click to get the previous gifts.  The group join for FAGA is 350L which is a steal for one fatpack of hair, let alone the other group gifts too.

Admittedly, it was nearly impossible to blog an open back top and a front facing pony tail in the same picture, but you’ll see in better detail when you TP to these stores. 😉

Peace

Summer and Lightning

Hey hey Fabs!  I’m out here living dangerously, in the middle of a lightning storm.  I live in the lightning capital of the U.S. so I do understand how crazy and insane it would be to be outside in this storm, but that’s why we love SL, innit?

It’s electric

This outfit gave me all the static electricity feels when I tried it on, I figured you might want to bring it home too.  This is Kristen, the swimsuit and sarong set, and it’s a free gift for the MLM Frees&Offers group by Ahlure.  The group is a small 5L to join and then it’s yours!  It’s a full fatpack of colors, plus you can choose sheer or opaque for the sarong.  I’m fairly sure I’m wearing the Legacy size on my Lara X here in this picture although if I were walking around instead of lying down I’d probably need my sarong to be opaque.  It’s rigged for:

• Freya
• Hourglass
• Kupra
• Legacy
• Maitreya
• Physique
• Reborn

I’ve blogged these earrings before but was over a year and a half ago, so I thought it would be nice to mention them again.  These are the Zaria earrings and they’re a free gift from [VIPERA] you can find on Marketplace for 0L.  The come with a fatpack hud of metal and gem colors too.  They’re perfectly chunky and long so you can see them under many of your hairstyles 😉

This storm is either going to take me out or energize me, let’s hope for the latter.  😉

Peace ☮️

Happiness Comes in Waves

Happy Sunday, Fabulous Readers!  Gus and I are popping in quickly to share a free gift and a discounted hairstyle with you.

Petal Power

This cute, shirred crop top is perfect for summer!  It features slender shoulder straps, a white and teal floral print, delicate ties in front, and lace trim.   It’s the free August gift for members of the Carol’s Store Group, which has a teensy 10L$ join fee.  It goes great with this white mini skirt, but I think it would also pair well with white shorts or pale teal jeans.  To scoop up a copy for yourself, teleport to Carol’s Store and tap the vendor.

Mesh Body Compatibility:

• Bombshell
• Erika
• Gen X Classic and Curvy
• Kupra
• Lara X and petite
• Legacy
• Maitreya
• Momma
• Nhuma
• Perky
• Reborn
• Waifu

“Tail” Me About It

In my post here, I told you about a budget-friendly clearance sale going on at Elikatira.  I returned this morning to see if it is still going on, and happily, it is!  For just 25L$, I scored a fat pack of this Maeve hairstyle.  With a loosely braided fishtail design and stray wisps of hair framing your face and neck, this hairstyle has a relaxed, bohemian vibe.  The pack includes a versatile collection of colorways, so you’re bound to find one that suits you.  This is probably your last chance to add Maeve to your inventory because the hairs featured in this event are scheduled for retirement.  The sale ends August 18th.

Colorways Included:

• Blondes
• Brunettes
• Dawn Colours
• Essentials
• Ravens
• Redheads
• Sunset Colours
• Whites

A free group gift and a good-ole clearance sale sure brighten this girl’s day.  I have a feeling many of you are the same way.  🙂 Until our next post, happy shopping!

Down South

Oh Fabs, this is what I was waiting for!  Rica, of Hitogata, finished her outfit for Lara X and it is everything I ever wanted.  It’s gauzy and light and has seersucker textures and I’m totally in love.

The shore

Down here in the South we call it the beach, but up north they call it the shore.  This outfit actually gives me a throwback to some very very old photos of me as a kid, wearing this stripey pattern at the Jersey shore.

Hitogata has done it again, making something I fall totally in love with and giving it away for free.  This outfit is made for Lara X, although I bet you can make it work on other bodies (at least Legacy).  It comes with the top, bottoms and shirt, and the shirt can be sheer or solid.  As she does, every part of this outfit can be changed via hud and tint, and there’s so many cute and colorful patterns in the hud.  You can purchase the E*Girl outfit for 0L in the bunny on the 2nd shelf.

As an added bonus, she’s made another hair bow, but you have to look closely to bring it home.  It’s in a bright pink teeny tiny box on the top shelf, and you can tint this bow to any color of your choosing.  Again, this is free, just buy it for 0L.

Rica never charges for what she makes, but she does always leave out a tip jar, so if you love her designs and her generosity as much as I do, you can let her know 😉

Alrighty Aphrodite

Goddess of love, beauty and desire you say?  Why yes, of course 😉  Although to be fair, I only fit into the category today because of these lovely free gifts from SL22B Shop&Hop!

Pandemos

Sometimes Aphrodite Pandemos was referred to as the goddess of persuasion, so let me persuade you to pick up these generous gifts, shall I?  Please read my whole post, there’s some details you’ll need to know before you shop.

• Free Dress by Poison Rouge (rigged for: Lara X, Legacy, Reborn)
• Free Floral crown by EXiA
• Free Pose set by R.Bento (with hud, stand, and poses)

The Poison Rouge gift at SL22B is a pretty purple and white dress, BUT she also has free 350L credit at SL22B Shop&Hop for her group members (and that’s not listed on our spreadsheet!)  Poison Rouge has also made her group temporarily free during the Shop&Hop but it will go back up to 150L when it’s over.  You’ll need to collect the credit at SL22B Shop&Hop but you need to spend it in the mainstore.  I bought this gorgeous Amore dress which I’ve had my eye on for a while, and this round it’s available to purchase with credit.  It was 299L per color, fully covered by my free credit.  I think it expires on the 23rd, but I can’t say for sure.

Add in a gorgeous floral crown and a pose set named Aphrodite and you absolutely feel like a goddess.  Remember the SL22B Shop&Hop ends on the 20th so you’ve got to finish it fast if you haven’t already!  Here’s our Fab Free spreadsheet to help!

Zesty and Bright

Hello there, Fabulous Readers!  Gus and I are back to share two more free items from the SL22B event.   The bright yellow in these gifts is just so cheerful!

Feels Like I’m Walking on Sunshine

The Ocean top from Midna inspired my outfit, and features a deep blue bikini top and a golden, open-weave, cropped sweater.  The lemon-print is perfect for summer days, and the cover-up provides warmth to ward off the early morning chill while staying airy enough for comfort on toasty afternoons.  The contrasting colors create a cheerful vibe and really catch the eye.  Best of all, you can scoop up this combo piece for free at the Midna booth at the SL22B event!

Mesh Body Compatibility:

• Legacy
• Maitreya LaraX
• eBody Reborn

Golden Bling

To accessorize, I slipped on Heartsdale Jewellery’s Pomegranate Earrings.  Their gleaming skin echoes the vibrant hue of my top, and the delicate white pearls add a pretty sparkle.  They include a built-in resize option that allows you to stretch for that perfect fit.  I couldn’t help but think what a fun combination the pomegranates and lemons would be for a refreshing beverage!  These fruity baubles are also a free gift at the SL22B event.  Simply teleport to the Heartsdale Jewellery booth and click the vendor.  Here’s a close-up view:

Whether you’re sipping lemonade on the beach or exploring the grid, these gifts will have you glowing with style for free!  Until our next post, keep shining!

Summer Wind

If only that summer wind was cool, and not 105F/40C!  Alas, what IS cool is this beautiful new group gift at S@BBIA.  It’s light and sheer below the thighs allowing for the breeze to blow right through you.  It’s covered in these pretty pink flowers and begs to be worn for a walk on the beach at sunset.  The best part, of course, is that it’s completely free.

Easy breezy

Picking up this new dress is a breeze.  Just teleport over to S@BBIA, join the group for free and touch the picture of the gift.  Are you looking for this dress in other colors?  She always puts the fatpack of her group gift on sale, and you can pick it up for 126L!  It comes rigged for:

• Lara X/Maitreya
• Legacy
• Reborn

I added a pair of earrings that went perfectly with the pink floral design of this dress.  They are the petals earrings, and they’re one of the group gifts over at *catNap*.  They are a delicate ball of petals secured by a pearl, precious.  You can bring these and some other gifts home by joining the *catNap* group for free.

Time for me to fly!

Summertime

I mean, almost year ’round where I live, but for the rest of you, I hear the summer heat be hittin! If you need something to wear in that summer heat, I’ve got just the free outfit for you!

Bikini Life

A few weeks ago the Midnight Madness board changed over at [QE] and boy did I take advantage. There’s a hot new outfit on that MM board, and you can bring it home for free too.

This is the Bimini Bikini Set from [QE] and it’s a full outfit. It comes with the bikini top and bottoms (chain attached) plus a shrug for the evening sunset. You even get sandals and anklets with it (not shown). This is all hit, no miss. It’s rigged for:

• Maitreya/Petite
• Legacy/Perky/Pushup
• Reborn

Not only is it a complete outfit, it comes with a hud full of summer colors and designs. The best part? No group is needed to hit this MM board, and there’s even some lucky chairs you can play while you’re there!

See you at sunset, Fabs!

From Sunset to Starlight

Hello Fabulous Readers!  My outfit today is the perfect blend of casual comfort and dreamy summer vibes.  It includes a budget-friendly weekend sale item and a free group gift that add style without breaking the bank.

Sun-Kissed and Stylish

The Alex shirt from Epoch showcases soft shades of lavender, mint, and blush, that call to mind a serene shoreline sunset.  This off-the-shoulder top leaves your shoulders bare to soak up the sun, with short sleeves and a flirty front tie.  Its cropped cut keeps things light and cool – ideal for warm summer days.  I love the retro, pastel tie-dye pattern, but if that’s not your style, solid color packs are also available.  Priced at just 75L$ per pack on the Marketplace for the Lazy Sunday Sale, this is definitely a new summer favorite in my wardrobe.  The sale ends June 3rd.

Mesh Body Compatibility:

• LaraX
• Legacy
• Reborn
• Waifu

Star Light, Star Bright

The shimmering Star Earrings from Schelm add the perfect touch of cosmic charm to this look.  Their dainty star-shaped design brings to mind the first twinkles of evening light (a poetic match for a top that echoes the hues of sunsets).  The included HUD offers four metallic finishes.  I picked them up as a free group gift for members of the Schelm Group, which is free to join.

This outfit captures everything I love about summer.  Whether you’re headed to the beach or just soaking up virtual sunshine, it proves you don’t need to spend a lot to shine bright.  Until our next post, happy shopping!

Violet Glam on the Sand

Hi there, Fabulous Readers! High heels and a floor-length skirt at the beach? You bet! It’s SL, after all. 🙂 This stunning ensemble was a prize from the Hollywood Glamour 3 Hunt and cost just 1L$.

Talk About Glam!

The Floral Glamour Gown in Violet from Psyche’s Pstyles is a two-piece set composed of a halter-style crop top with delicate straps, and a floor-length skirt that hugs your curves then flares gracefully at the hemline.  Its daring slit showcases your legs and provides an air of sultry sophistication.  I love the added detail of the delicate chain accents on the left hip.  It features a subtle silvery floral pattern splashed across a rich, violet background.  To pick up a copy, locate the golden star hidden in the shop and pay the 1L$ fee.  The hunt runs through May 31st, so you still have plenty of time!

Until our next post, happy hunting!
