The FabFree Annual Free(ish) Hair Roundup – Part 1

Yay!  FabFree!  IT’S TIME!

Time for what, you ask?  Well… it’s time for our annual Free(ish) hair round up!  If you’ve not seen one of our hair posts before, strap in and get yourself a beverage because we pulled out all the stops this year to bring you NOT JUST ONE, but two posts of free, group gift, and dollarbie hair that you can get right now.  This year we’ve got over 200 hairstyles in this post alone, with just as many (if not more) coming tomorrow.  Yeah.  I know.  It’s a doozy.

Please be sure to thank the FabFree bloggers for their hard work in collecting, photographing, and documenting each hairstyle so that you have a comprehensive guide to free and affordable hair around the grid.  They deserve your kudos because they jumped on this project with wild abandon.

Shameless plug here, but as you well know – FabFree bloggers are not paid for their services.  However, if ever you feel like donating and showing your appreciation, make your way over to the FabFree Info Hub and drop a few coins in the piggy banks.  We do appreciate it.  We also super love comments on our posts!

Good Girls

I hit up a lot of the weekend sales today. A lot. I’m so excited for all of the bargains that I have to show you! Don’t believe me? Just watch.

Shop Till You…

…take dramatic pictures in front of graffiti covered walls? Yes, that’s probably how it goes. In that case, it looks like I’m done. The fantastic weekend sale bargains that I have on today are:

  • Skirt by Blueberry – just 75L gets you a full fatpack for the Saturday Sale. You know how I love a good denim and this one does not disappoint, I can’t stand how cute the folded down waist is. Sizes for: eBody Reborn, Freya, Hourglass, Isis, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Physique, Venus.
  • Skin by Glam Affair – just 60L for the Saturday Sale. This one’s as young and fresh as they come, and even more so when you add the included blush and freckles layers (I’m wearing both). It comes in 7 Glam Affair skin tones.

Redemption!

Don’t worry, there’s a free hiding in there too, and it’s a good one! My heels are the Uber Anniversary gift from Essenz. There is no group join required, just go to the Essenz store and the box is on the front desk.

The Simple Things in Life

The Simple Things in Life

Happy Saturday! I’ve found loads of great things at the weekend sales that I want to share with you. As you know, these are often time sensitive, so let’s get right to it!

Friday

My skin is by Glam Affair, and you can still get it right now for the special Fifty Linden Friday price of 50L. We’re talking an enormous pack of BOM skin tones, each with and without eyebrows, and even including some pretty makeup options. Glam Affair skins are always lovely but this one I’ve fallen extra head over heels for. Sigh.

Saturday

And then there’s Elikatira. Did you know that they sell clothes, too, and not just hair? I thought it was just hair. Or maybe the clothing is new? I don’t know. I have had a long affinity for Elikapeka Tiramisu’s work. It’s always just been so lovely, no matter the brand. Do you remember ETD? I might be showing my age here but ETD was the best. I remember when it closed and I bought up as much as I could at the closing sale. After that was [e] I think, and it’s just as fantastic in the current Elikatira incarnation. And now with clothes, too? Squeeee! Alright, quit fangirling, Allison. Right. This maxi dress is the Saturday Sale offering from Elikatira and it’s flawless. There are various packs to chose from, each including 4 patterns. ‘Twas a hard choice, but here we are. It’s available today for 75L per color pack. Sizes:

  • Maitreya
  • Legacy
  • Reborn

Weekend

My last sale purchase is the tattoo that I’m wearing, from Vegas Tattoo. I really like tattoos in SL and Vegas is one of my go to places. Don’t miss this pretty design, being offered for 60L currently as part of the Happy Weekend Sale.

Free!

I try to include at least one completely free item in my posts, as a general rule, and today it’s this cute pose from mirinae! It’s from a pose pack that I previously mentioned here, and all of the things that I told you about in that post are still free with no group join required.

Heat waves been faking me out

Heat waves been faking me outHi FabFree! I’m just popping in to show you a quick look that is perfect for summer.

Roslyn

I hit Roslyn to pick up the newest free group gift, which is these sunglasses. They’re a classic style that are the perfect finishing touch, plus they come with two HUDs allowing you to make them silver or gold and to change the color of the tint. While I was at Roslyn I saw that there were some other free group gifts out as well, featuring many easy to wear casual outfits and jumpsuits. And yup, you guessed it, the jumpsuit that I’m wearing is one of those other free group gifts. Did ya get an eyeful of the lacing on the sides? It’s just the thing to help you survive a heatwave. It comes with a HUD packed full of 10 solid color options and sizes for:

  • Freya
  • Hourglass
  • Kupra
  • Legacy
  • Maitreya

Oh and the Roslyn group is free to join. Nothing stopping you!

AvaWay

One more thing! I know you can’t see it very well in my picture, but the necklace that I’m wearing is the newest free group gift from Avaway. Muriel is pretty and simple and I love it so much! I’ve been wearing it a lot for the past week or so. It’s easy to wear but hard to photograph because it’s really delicate and thin. I’ve included the vendor picture so you can get a better look.

GIFT MURIEL Necklace (AvaWay MAINSTORE)

It comes with a HUD to change the metal color and the shade of blue on the pendant, as well as sizes for Legacy and Maitreya. The Avaway group is free to join and Muriel is a free group gift.

You’re My Starlight

You're My StarlightWhere my skin obsessed girls at? Skin lovers, unite! That sounds weird but I guess it would be something even weirder outside of SL… ANYWAY it seems like most people find a skin that they like and stick to it. Not me. I change my skin as often as I change my shoes! That’s a bad example because I don’t wear shoes 90% of the time, but you get the idea. Whether you’re a skin hopper like me or still looking for that perfect skin, I’ve got you covered. Plus I found a sexy little bustier to show you – but for free!

Glitter in the Sky

The skin I’m wearing today is the newest free group gift from Dernier. It includes all (most? many!) Velour skin tones, each both with and without eyebrows. I typically wear sienna in Velour so that’s the one you see on me today. She’s got that pretty, natural face that I fall for time and time again. When you head over to Dernier to grab yours you’ll have to first join the Dernier group which is free to join.

Glitter in my Eyes

I picked up my sexy little bustier over at Hysteria. There are a few other fun latexy free gifts to pick up while you’re at it. Just go to Hysteria, join the free group, and you’ll see it there on the wall for free. The zipped bustier includes a HUD with color options and sizes:

  • Belleza Freya
  • eBody Reborn
  • Kupra Original
  • Legacy Perky
  • Legacy

Put It All On Me

Put it all on meThe 10th anniversary round of the Fameshed event started on Sunday! The setup is a little different this round and the space has been divided into four “quadrants,” with each quadrant having a discount area. You’re looking for a cute little patio type area set up with tables and chairs, covered in gift boxes. In the boxes are items discounted to 50L-75L. 

I couldn’t resist this sweet little outfit by Neve. Seriously, how cute and summery and perfect is this set? The lacey details just sealed the deal for me. The top and shorts come together for just 50L but can be worn separately, and each also has a HUD of 4 different patterns/colors. There are sizes for:

  • Maitreya
  • Maitreya Petite
  • Legacy
  • Legacy Perky

Fameshed runs till May 27th.

P.S. My pose is a free group gift from Cuca Designs and it does not require a group join. There’s a nice little wall of single and couples poses, all for free …I’m using half of a couples pose here that I just pulled apart because I liked it by itself too.

Where my Money At?

Where my money at?

Hey, guess what? This look didn’t cost me any dollah dollah bills, y’all. I’m having way too much fun with these sunglasses. They really bring the whole look together, no?

Redeux

It is the 5th anniversary of the Redeux Event. Which means that if you join the free Redeux VIP group there is a free gift waiting for you at every booth! It’s a fun little assortment, not all clothes but lots of décor and stuff too. Plenty of free gift variety, as it were.  But me, well, I’m showing some things that can be worn because that’s how I roll. Here we have, in no particular order, and all for free at Redeux:

  • Free sunglasses from small because I mean, what’s not to love about the super cute dollar signs on the lenses and the way it’s pushed down on my nose a little?
  • Free top and skirt from zOOm, which are so cute and easy to wear. This sweet gift comes with a HUD to change the pattern on the top that I for real didn’t even see till right now and there are some really cute options! The top and skirt can also be worn separately and they each come in sizes for Freya, Hourglass, Legacy, and Maitreya.
  • And last but not least, free earrings courtesy of Elemental. These are such a nice design and I love the rose gold with a pop of color.

This round of Redeux will last until April 30th.

Finger Guns

I’m taking finger guns way too literally and I could not be happier about it. See those little gun tattoos on each of my index fingers? Those are a free gift over at SODA! This tattoo is one of three gifts that you’ll see lined up along the front desk of the store, all for free and with no group join required. It comes as a BOM layer which suits me just fine.

So to answer my own question (errr I guess actually it’s Wyclef’s question), where my money at? It’s still in my pocket!

The Love Shack

The Love Shack

It’s beginning to look a lot like… SHOP & HOP!  Yaaaaaaaay!  Oh gosh, we are always so entirely spoiled when Shop & Hop rolls around.  Plenty of gifts, all of them free.  I’m nipping out into the cold just to pose very meaningfully in a way to underscore just how excited I am for all things pink, red, and completely sweet.

Love is in the Air

Phew ok, calm down Aline.  Breathe!  As you may (or may not know), we at FabFree basically venture out into the world of our own volition, find things we want to blog, pay any associated fees, join the groups etc etc etc.  It’s not an easy task, but we all love it very much.  When it comes to Shop & Hop, it’s a massive undertaking with 10 shopping regions and over 200 stores to visit.  Today is early access day, so I made my way over and picked up as much as I could, unboxed it, tried it all on and put together my faves.  Phew!  Anyway, keep reading to find out how to get early access and where to find direct links to every store.  Here’s what I picked up!

  • FREE dress by Baiastice sized for Freya, Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Maitreya Petite & Perky in both opaque and transparent versions
  • FREE bracelets by Michan (see closeup below)
  • FREE cookie by Hangry in several different colours
  • FREE hair and hat by Elikatira with a massive HUD included

 

Shop & Hop officially opens tomorrow, but you can join the SL Birthday group to get in early.  You’ll find all the participating stores and direct slurls right HERE.

Copy and paste this code into chat to join the group: secondlife:///app/group/8db35111-979b-14a7-6a74-b47be86ce04f/about

You’ll be unpacking foreveeeerrrrr!
