Oh, Hanukkah!

It’s beginning to look a lot like Hanukkah too!  I love this celebration of light, and quite frankly, who doesn’t love fried foods?  For those of you who are celebrating starting tomorrow night, I’ve found a few little goodies to add some Chanukkah chutzpah to your SL.

Spinning Like a Dreidel

I had to do some searching for under 75L items for Hanukkah, but there are a few out there.  I put on my brainy specs and headed off to MP and did a little search, then refined it by sorting the items by lowest to highest price.  I wasn’t inundated with items, but there were a few under 75L items!

• 75L sweater by Anthropology sized for Ebody Classic, Ebody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Maitreya, Petite, Legacy, Hourglass, Tonic Curvy, Tonic Fine, Venus and Physique
• 59L frame, boxes and dreidels by Chez Moi
• FREE Latkes by RC cluster

Also, I noted that over at Earthstones they’ve got this super sweet set of earrings (they’re dreidels and gelt) out for the Saturday Sale for just 75L.

I hope everyone has a wonderful Hanukkah, and I hope we can all work together to banish the darkness.

Art Lover

I am a lover of art in both RL and SL. I’m hanging out in the studio with a nice, piping hot chai tea latte. Although I look like I’m ready to go to an art gallery opening with all the fashionable finds I am wearing today…

Uber! Style!

I have a whole load of free gifts from the Uber Anniversary to share this morning. This event is filled with fashionable free finds. To do the event, go to each store on the Uber gifts list that Aline made for us all. It can be accessed here. If you have the time, do send her a thank you for this because her hard work compiling this list made it so much easier for everyone to find the gifts. You can grab the free gifts until September 22nd. You only have a week left to get the goods!

Free gifts from the 8th Uber Anniversary I am showing today are:

• A pack of BOM lipsticks for Lelutka EvoX at Glam Affair
• Heels from Breathe that fit Lara, Legacy, Reborn, Kupra, Legacy and Slink
• A tea chai latte at Andika, which can be worn or delivered to others through a dispenser
• Earrings and a necklace from EarthStones Jewelry
• Sunglasses from Deep Static, which includes an extensive color-change hud to change the frames, sides, and shades

Make sure you check out all the past FabFree coverage of the Uber Anniversary before the event closes. The posts below show more free goodies for you all to get! You will be walking around in style and ready for the next big art event after you collect these fashionable presents.

• A Good Problem to Have by Aline
• Not So Tiny Dancer by Cre
• Late Summer Unicorn Love by Caroline 
• Is Fall Here Yet? by Adalynn

A Little Fun From Alaskametro

I’m loving the deals I found at the Spoonful of Sugar Festival, and I was delighted to see that Alaskametro has a 10L item out at their booth at the event. It’s inside the coconut.  100% of the donations for this item are given to Doctors Without Borders. This nail applier set includes a hud of tropical colours. I will admit that Aline’s love for Alaskametro’s products has totally worn off on me. There are so many shades and designs included in this set! Did you know that even if you use a BOM avatar you can wear omega nails if you have the omega kit installed in your body? They are so cool and I always enjoy using omega nails because they are easy to apply and use- they just apply onto the nails on your body. The Spoonful of Sugar Festival ends on September 18th, so you only have a couple of days left to grab this great nail set for only 10L. You can see an image of the textures included with this nail applier set below.  Note that the set includes toenail appliers as well.

Sizes Included (Nail Appliers)

• Omega
• Maitreya
• Slink
• Cinn
• Chai

Here are my past posts which cover some of the 10L donation prizes from the Spoonful of Sugar Festival:

• Tropical Autumn (read this post first for all the details about the event)
• FabFree’s Pumpkin Problem
• The Get Crabby Hunt!

Thanks for reading, FabFree!

Patriotic Freebies for July 4th

It is time for the holidays here in the United States…and one of our favorites every year is Independence Day, or also called The 4th of July. So I thought I’d look for some patriotic freebies for you all for this post. It’s past my bedtime (do I even have a bedtime?) so let’s get right into it!

• My lovely red dress is the free group gift for July. It’s called Ralma from Le’La Designs and has 20 color options. It is fit for Belleza, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Slink bodies. And the Le’La group (linked below) is only L$50 to join!!
• The hair style I’m wearing is only L$75 right now for The Saturday Sale. Grab it quick because the sale ends tonight! Its called Gwen and is from Elikatira. It comes in a fatpack with 2 style options and too many colors to count.

• This gorgeous jewelry is all from Earthstones and is also on this weekend’s Saturday Sale, so don’t miss it either! The necklace and earrings are L$50 together and you can buy the red, white and blue like I have or a couple other colors too. And the bracelet is L$75!

Last but certainly not least I had to wear some flag nail polish. This is also from Earthstones and is 75L$ as well. Be sure to check out all the awesome deals they have going on for the July 4th sale!

Support Ukraine in Style!

Second Life is one of the most wonderful worlds in existence.  We can stand together and support our friends in the Ukraine while also loving our Russian friends who never asked their leaders to go to war.  I was so inspired by Cre’s post about supporting the Ukraine, that I quickly hopped onto Marketplace to see what else I could find.  Truly, there are hundreds of freebies out there to show our support for the Ukraine.  I can’t blog them all here, but do a quick search and you will have a closet full of items to show your support.  I found this beautiful FREE Eiko Dress Ukraine by E&E which comes with matching shoes.  I also found the FREE matching Ukraine lipstick by MAD, and a FREE 90s Necklace with a hud including two different peace signs by Melt.

The shoes come with the outfit and match perfectly!

If you wish to provide financial support, Two Moons Gardens is donating the proceeds of their Inspiration Garden (249L) to the International Red Cross for use in their care of refugees and victims of acts of war.  The garden, pictured above, is located on a special sim where there are freebies and 10L items to purchase to support the Red Cross’s efforts in addition to donation kiosks.  Two Moons will be hosting a Salsa event in the near future, so please check them out.

Dashing to the Diner with Quinnty!

Every day, I am eager to read my blogging sister, Aline’s, Fabulous Finds post.  I run around and grab all the things I love, and when I spotted that uber sweet jacket at Quinnty’s that she posted about here, I just had to have it.  I joined the group (50L) and grabbed it, but THEN I looked at ALL the sweet Group gifts for VIPS, and, wow, I was addicted.  There are at least 10 of them but probably more.  It was hard to pick just one to showcase for you, but I picked Mae because it comes with everything for a complete outfit!  You get the cool jacket, the jeans, and these super cute sneakers!!!

For your 50L group fee, you  also get a store credit for 50L, so you do get your money back to use on some of the other cute things for sale in the store!!  I love the colors and the creativity of this outfit, but now I am ready for a milkshake!!!!

Sitting Pretty with Siss Boom

 

SL Fashion has changed so much since I logged in for the first time in 2006. But, what hasn’t changed is our desire to find classy unique clothing.

I’ve been a lover of Siss Boom ever since Designer Lestat Reuven opened her doors fifteen years ago. I absolutely love her fresh pretty style AND her affordable clothing! Her whole main line is so different and classy in a range of pastels that speak to a softer, gentler look.

What’s even better is that the Siss Boom group is only L50 to join, and she is always putting out amazing group gifts while leaving previous group gifts up for grabs to new group members. She also runs gorgeous limited special collections like Winter Softly.

While I’ve maxed out my groups in SL and play “group list Jenga” at least three times a week, I can honestly say, hands down, Siss Boom is one of my favorite groups and has never been considered for a cut.

Back in the day, we only had 10 (TEN….TEN!) group spots, and we were excited when they raised it to 25. Now, maxed out at 70 seems like a chore. Why can’t it be 100???? Are you out of group room, too? No problem, you can still slap Siss Boom‘s Lucky Boards for FREE!!!

I can’t tell you how many nice gifts I’ve received through Siss Boom‘s very generous wall of lucky boards. There are at least 30 boards on the main wall, and on Saturday, when Siss Boom is closed for Sabbath (Sundown to Sundown, Friday through Saturday, EST), her outpost has lucky boards on a large wall and on a smaller vestibule wall.

To write this post, I stood at Siss Boom for about 30 minutes today and collected 7 gifts from the board. They were all beautiful, but I really fell in love with this outfit. The Crochet Dress in Creamy can be worn with or without flexi attachments (we old school avies have a lost love for the flexi ;p). The pack also includes mirrors of the attachments so you can choose how to wear them.

So, if you want to spend some time sorting inventory and want to add to your personal collection, head on over to Siss Boom and get some fabulously pretty new duds from those very lucky boards!

Sizes:

• eBody Curvy
• Freya
• Hourglass
• Isis
• Physique

Just A Girl

Hiya, slipping in a quick one, from The Fabfree Fallen Leaves and Frost Hunt cause we all need an extra bit of “cuteness” heading into the weekend.

Fall Baby

Maybe it’s me, but I think the time of year, when you were born gives you a special affinity to a season.  Not that I don’t love spring and the flowers, or summer with the heat. But being born in October in RL, and September in SL, fall seems to bring out the “me,” more so than any other season. With bright colors, and delicious scents (thinking baking apples, and pumpkins in sweet goodies), semi-warm days, and cool nights, Get me just bursting with happiness. Lucky for me, The Bold Llama T-shirt Co. gift for The Fabfree Fallen Leaves and Frost Hunt is the perfect top to proclaim A Girl Who Loves Fall tee for everyone to see. And the price for letting the world know how much I love fall, just 4L, and some time. Good news for you who need more time to pick up the hunt items, The Fabfree Fallen Leaves and Frost Hunt runs till November 30th. 🙂

Girl’s Night Out

Hey fab fam!

Hope you are staying toasty in all the snow that seems to be nearly everywhere right now!  (except Florida, where I wish I was.  lol)

Since I am watching it snow I thought it a good time to have a nice sl night out, I brought my sweet shih tzu Tara with me (she is named after a real life shih tzu I had and lost a few years ago and still dearly miss, but real life Tara (aka Miss Tee) was black and white), while she and I are both introverts, we love a little adventure, so off we go!

I found this adorable sweater at Poeme.  It is their group gift for February/March and their group is only 1L to join!  The pants are by WellMade and I found those over at the Free Dove, and they were well… free! (Natch!)  Aline has also highlighted them here.  They really are a great pair of pants and you can’t beat the price!

The sweater comes in:

• TMP
• Venus
• Maitreya
• Ocacin
• Physique
• Tonic – Curvy, Fine
• Ebody
• Freya
• Hourglass
• Isis
• Fitmesh – xs-xl

The pants come in:

• Maitreya
• Hourglass
• Physique

They also come with a HUD that lets you choose between black or red.  All things perfect for a casual/dressy-ish night out with my Tara girl.

Until next time fam, when I share with you a really cute new dress for spring!

Keep on, keepin’ on!
