Ladies, it’s Confessions with Desi. I miss Gachas. I loved me a good Gacha event back in the day (like last year). But, the rules changed and now we have Next Up machines. I will admit that I am kind of a fan of them, as I am wasting a lot less money on stuff I don’t want, but I am not standing around for days hoping someone pulls the stuff I don’t like so I can get what I do. It’s an odd joy when I show up to a machine and there are back to back prizes that I really like. Such was the case at the Evil Bunny Productions “Up for Grabs” Next Up Event. The event runs until February 28th.
I picked up the free gifts at some of the vendors and then looked over the machines. There were some cute things I really wanted, but, alas, they weren’t the next up items…they weren’t even on the board yet…so I will have to wait for a Next Up Yardsale. But, then….THEN…I got to the Fatal Fashion machine! Waiting for my 50L pull was this adorable little dress and the next item was, luckily, the matching panties!
How lucky!!! I quickly scored these two fine articles of virtual bliss for 50L each before someone else jumped in to steal my pull (I mean, that’s never actually ever happened anywhere, but there is a real fear). I love this cute little outfit!!!

I woke up this morning in the best of moods! It was cloudy and in the 60’s, for me perfection, I am feeling healthier and happier today than I have in a very long time. So I hope this Free Group Gift brings a smile to your face!

Where did the weekend go? By this time Friday it will be Christmas Day! Can you believe it? I’m half in denial myself. lol Two things that seem to go hand in hand for better or worse are Christmas and shopping. I finally worked my way through the behemoth that is the Holiday Shop & Hop event and as overwhelming as it can be, I have to admit it was worth it. My inventory now flooded with gifts, I thought I’d share a few with you.
If you’ve never gone to one of the Shop & Hop events before, there are a few things you should know. First, there’s no group needed for the gifts, just click the gift box at each of the designer’s booths. Second, there are eight sims to wander through. Yes, I said eight. As you can imagine, that’s a lot of shopping and hopping. For this post I chose to share the freeHoliday Shop & Hop gifts by Eclectic Stars, Unicorn, and Infiniti. Enjoy, and happy shopping Fab Free’rs!
Eclectic Stars
When it comes down to it, one of the labels that could be used to describe me (and I think most of us in SL) is “gamer.” Eclectic Stars put out the perfect Christmas sweater for any gamer girl as their freeShop & Hop gift. It has a Christmas tree on it made entirely of Space Invader-style aliens. :O So cute!
As a photographer and a blogger, I’ve got an ever-growing collection of backdrops and photo props and I like it that way. The freeShop & Hop gift by Unicorn is this fun wintery holiday outdoor setting complete with a snowman, evergreen tree, and a festively decorated front porch. If you’re in need of a cute backdrop for some holiday photos, don’t skip this one.
Infiniti
Finally, this pose with the snowball and falling snow are part of the freeShop & Hop gift by Infiniti. The gift includes a set of 3 poses that include a snowball prop. The falling snow is a wearable add-on, and I have to say I love the detail of the pretty snowflakes. Almost like shoes, I’m a firm believer that there is no such thing as too many poses! For now I’m off to go see if I can’t sneak up on Blue with this snowball. Wish me luck! lol
The closer it gets to Hallows Eve the happier my inner demoness gets. Brewing potions, casting hexes, throwing frog legs in the cauldron… I digress! So this has been a crazy week and let’s just say I cannot be happier to announce these awesome pieces for you! A ton of talented creators and amazing gifts are in this post all jammed in with goodies!

Hello Fab Free fam jam! I hope your week is of to an awesome start that rolls on through the coming weekend. For this quick post I have a cute find at the current round of Sense. This pretty satiny white dress by To.Kiski is the free group gift at the Sense event. You’ll need to join the Sense event group, however it’s free to join. The Sense event will run until August 8th, so you have a little bit of time to pick up this pretty freebie.
For anyone who doesn’t know, the title of this post and my photo are a quote from the movie Pretty Woman starring Julia Roberts and Richard Gere. If you have seen the movie, it will make sense. If you haven’t, well I highly suggest you add it to your movie list. The shopping scene is one of the best in the movie in my opinion.
That said, I feel like this is how I would have looked lugging home all of the free gifts at the current round of Vanity. I also of course happen to be wearing a few. All the gifts are free, you just need to join the Vanity event group. The group is free to join. I picked three of the many free gifts to share with you that I thought really went well together. The outfit I am wearing is from Queenz, my sunnies are from Avada, and this lip color is from GO Makeup. Lastly I also picked up a little bit of bling by Clever & Cool on the Marketplace to wear with these high-waisted pants. Keep reading for more details, and peep the credits at the end.
Queenz
I wouldn’t dare try to pull off all this white in my real life, however here in Second Life it’s such a win. This cropped top with ruffled sleeves, and the matching pants are the free gift at Vanity by Queenz. The pieces can be worn together or separately. Also, the top comes in a version sans the sleeves. The pants (since I cropped them out of the photo) are fitted through the waist and hips, then are a long loose-leg pant.
The way a lot of people feel about shoes, I feel about sunglasses. There’s no such thing as too many pairs. These are the freeVanity group gift by Avada. They have resize scripts and a texture hud. The hud gives you 5 solid color choices for the frames, 7 options for the lenses, and 2 metal choices.
GO Makeup
I love this mini HD lip palette by GO Makeup. It comes with 4 juicy red lip shades that scream summer. They also are free at Vanity with the Vanity group tag. This set comes in appliers for Catwa HD Lips and Genus HD Lips. For Catwa head wearers, this means you’ll need the free HD Lips add-on if you do not already have it. Don’t have HD Lips with your head yet? Head over to Catwa and get a redelivery, you need an upgrade! Here’s an awesome tutorial by Virtual Bloke about Catwa HD Lips and how to use them. For Genus head wearers, I believe the HD option is included in your hud.
Clever & Cool
Finally, I felt like this outfit needed a little something extra. Thankfully I came across this cute gemstone belly chain by Clever & Cool for just 25 linden on the Marketplace. It has resize scripts built in, as well as lots of texture choices. I think it looks pretty cute as a belt, and is well worth the paltry price tag. If this one isn’t your style, there are a few others with the same price point, as well as several other types of jewelry.
If you could read my mind like the expression on my face would you know what I am thinking?
It was one of those nights out like I hadn’t had in a long while. Summer in the south means even the nights are hot, but not nearly as sweltering as the day. Just about any excuse to get out and take your mind of the heat after the sun has gone down is welcome. Street racing is a popular pass-time, and it brings with it an exciting atmosphere where one can socialize after dark. Afterward there’s always a favorite dive bar where everyone is welcome, even if you don’t drink, and people play pool all night long even though the table hasn’t been level in years. It was fun to get dressed up, and get out of the house for a reason that didn’t include grocery shopping. To see, and be seen.
Eternal Limited
This is one of those outfits that you dress up in for no one else. You wear it for yourself because it looks good, and you feel good in it. From the moment I put this dress on I felt like a sexy goth pinup ghoul, like it was made just for me. Depending on the lighting this sexy dress from Eternal Limited has the look of satin, latex, or leather. The purple flames on the skirt remind me of the custom paint jobs you see on vintage hot rods, and for me that is just icing on an already delicious cake. Because of the hip-high slits on either side of the dress I felt more comfortable wearing it like a long top with cute black skinny pants. So now that I’ve sold at least some of you this hot little dress, I’ll tell you the price. Free. Yes, free. It is one of several free group gifts at Eternal Limited and the group is free to join.
Though the name of the store is This is Wrong, their new Stay at Home Club gift tattoo is so very right. It is a unisex upper body tattoo and it’s completely free. You do not need to join a group to get it. As with most of the Stay at Home Club gifts you just pay the vendor zero linden. This free tattoo gift at This is Wrong is waiting just inside the store and to the right along with their previous Stay at Home Club gift which was originally shown here.
I’d been dreaming of a seaside escape for weeks and Blue and I finally took a moment away from all the hustle and bustle of the real world and spent an entire day enjoying the sun, surf, and sand. For some extra fun, surf lessons. Blue took to the waves like a duck to water, while I was a little less certain! Either way, we still had an amazing time out at Kanaloa Surf Beach.
Before heading to the beach we picked up some new swimwear from MishMash Fusion. They have a set of his and hers swimsuits as their Surf into Summer Hunt prize. We also grabbed this surfboard with the tandem pose from Something New. It’s one of 2 the two poses included in the Surf into Summer Hunt prize at Something New. The Surf into Summer Hunt is running now through June 21st, and the prizes are just 2 lindens. Mahalo everyone for being here, and happy hunting!
Swimsuit sizes Included:
His – Adam, Aesthetic, Belleza, Signature Gianni, Slink, TMP, Standard Mesh (xs – XL) + Alpha Layer
Happy Friday Fab Free’rs! I hope everyone is gearing up for a wonderful weekend. For this edition of Fab Free Designer Friday I have the pleasure of introducing or perhaps reintroducing Kara Baby. Kara Baby is a ladies clothing boutique that is ultra feminine and very flirty in style. What’s the saying? “Sugar and spice and everything nice…” that’s what Kara Baby made of! Here you’ll find lots of skirts and dresses, along with shoes, applier clothing, and a little bit of lingerie. I also spied a couple of bento nail sets, so be sure to really look around when shopping at Kara Baby.
There’s a second floor to Kara Baby where you can find some discounted items, and a room full of Slink shoes! Also, almost all the vendors are setup with easy redelivery and gifting abilities that make shopping easy. Before I forget, I want to mention that you can pick up several of the Omega Relay systems for your Omega compatible body parts at Kara Baby as well. You’ll find those on the first floor to the right.
Store Group
Kara Baby’s store group is free to join, and there are group gifts and occasional discounts. Group members are also the first to know about sales, hunts, and events Kara Baby is participating in. At this time there are three freeKara Baby group gifts. One is a pretty purple dress with a vintage floral pattern that comes sized for Maitreya Lara, Slink Physique, Slink Hourglass, eBody Curvy, Altamura, Belleza Isis, Belleza Freya, and Belleza Venus. The second gift is to the right of the information desk up on the wall. You’ll see a cute orange vintage-looking handbag. The third Kara Baby group gift is a pair of shoes on the same wall as the handbag. The shoes are black with a skull and crossbones print and come fitted for Slink, Belleza, and Maitreya feet.
Fab Free Group Gift
There are also two free Fabulously Free in SL group gifts available at Kara Baby. The most recent is a super cute ruffled skirt and cropped top set with a colorful print. This set is free to all Fab Free group members, and the Fab Free group is always free to join. The second gift is on the opposite wall and is a flirty fox print apron style dress. Both of these free gifts come in the following sizes: Maitreya Lara, Slink Physique, Slink Hourglass, eBody Curvy, Belleza Isis, Belleza Freya, and Belleza Venus.
Other Gifts & Discounts
Kara Baby also has set out a few of their gifts from past events including a free pair of shoes from a past Gacha Life event, a free lingerie set formerly at the The Point event, and a 10 linden devil horns headband gift that was originally at a Mad Circus event. There’s also a set of red white and blue patriotic bento nails for 10 linden that will fit Slink and Maitreya hands. Each of these freebies/cheapies are on the same wall to the right of the information desk.
If you head to the right there are also two free Stay at Home Club gifts at Kara Baby. Both gifts are a dress with quite a few size choices. Next to the Stay at Home Club gifts, there are discounted items for the free-to-join Best Stores and Designers group. Also on the same wall as the Stay at Home Club gifts is a 35L Sunday Sales special dress that is just 35 linden per color. Happy Shopping!
One of the things I love about fall the most is being outdoors and enjoying the sights, sounds, and smells of the season. Another fall love is fashion. This long sleeved dress by NyDesign has awesome casual fall feels. It is one of their free Lucky Chair prizes. The NyDesign group is also free to join.
This long-sleeved dress by NyDesign comes in several sizes, and has a hud that lets you pick from 10 solid color choices. I love all the options, not to mention the little skull and bones graphic stripe down the sleeve, and the drippy skull graphic on the skirt. It also has the option of having a sexy sheer panel across the chest for a little peek-a-boo effect.
