Good morning FabFree! I have returned from my mini-vacation and am back to work finding fashionable freebies for you! Today I am going to tell you about the group gifts you can pick up at Manik Queen when you join their inworld group for 100L.
Before I do that, I want you to zoom into my hair and look at the cute gold flower I have on. This Truth Gold Flower can be found inside the freeIndie Teepee Free Moon Fest Bag along with a few other fun things throughout the duration of the Indie Teepee Event. I am wearing my flower with the Truth Etienne Hairstyle that is featured at Indie Teepee for 200L, but I am sure it would look really cute with others too.
Ok, back to Manik Queen! Once you join the group (100L), you can pick up the mesh Seaside Dress that includes 5 standard sizes and a texture change hud that allows for three different nautical prints. If that wasn’t enough to convince you to join – these matching Seaside Flipflops are also a free group gift! They come in Belleza, Slink and Maitreya sizes, but you can edit them to shift them around if you happen to be wearing other feet (according to the designer ad).

I think it’s safe to say I love roleplay… AND the Cart Sale! And when I saw Anachron‘s Homeward Star Chitons for only 10L each I was over the moon! There are six amazing colors for you to choose from for only 10L each and they come in all the standard mesh sizes. These are perfect for fantasy settings or even for every day wear if you like. I paired mine with a set of flats but you could go barefoot or put on heels if you wanted.
And Moon {Hair} has done it again! Hurry, Hurry! Get to Moon and slap that Midnight Mania board! There is a beautiful new hair called la Vie en Rose, this time in pastels on the board. It locks down fast, so don’t delay. It is FREE if you get on the board before it locks and it will be sent to you at midnight. You do need the group tag to slap the board, which will set you back 100L, but the board changes out as frequently as I change hair styles. I can barely keep up! It is SO worth the join fee! And I really love the pretty flowers in this soft and feminine style!

If you need a romantic gown for the upcoming Valentine’s weekend — or for any occasion — now is your chance to pick up a Junbug classic as a FREE group gift. If you stop by Junbug‘s main-store location, the current group gift is this stunning Betty’s Boudoir in sky blue brocade. You’ll need to wear your group tag (200L to join the group) but when you consider the gifts and benefits, the sum is worth joining the group.
This gown is highly detailed mesh in all the standard sizes. The corset has stunning ribbons and buttons down the front that are perfect for romance. I did pair mine with a lacy underlay for added romance, but the gown is also perfect just by itself.
The devil is in the details as they say! But this deal is certainly heavily! Stop by ECCO main-store next where you can get two perfectly FREE gifts of jewelry to go with your new gown! My simply stunning Pearl Swoosh Earrings are a FREE gift exclusively for members of the FabFree Group. Just wear your FabFree tag (it’s FREE to join the group!) to pick these up! Not only are they delicate and lovely, but they also include a texture change hud with five color choices!
My hair clip is another generous FREE gift, this time ECCO is giving it FREE as part of SL frees & offers. Wear your SL frees & offers group tag (also FREE to join) and you can pick up this lovely Jewels Hair Flower in three metal choices!
Like all group gifts they won’t last forever… be sure to hurry over and pick them up while they are available!

Sometimes a little fantasy pick-me-up is just the thing to make your day… and today I felt like making a little magic! I picked up a few things around the grid sure to make any role player’s day a bit more magical, and I’m here to let you in on the magician’s secrets!
Right now if you stop by [EvelineInTheBox], the creator’s February gift is out. It is this lovely Thyri Cascade dress in mesh (all the standard sizes) that is really just fantastic. I love the way the dress curves around my avatar’s body! It is FREE to group member and the group is FREE to join, making this lovely gift a sweet deal!
Remember that Alice Project is still hosting their Winter Project! Today I stopped by to pick up this hair called Amy in the Winter Shimmer version… which is the VIP members’ gift. This is FREE to VIPs. The group is 750L to join but there are always TONS of amazing offers. There is also aFREE pack out for nonmembers, so it’s still very worth your time to stop by and pick up the giftie even if you are not a VIP member.
My roleplay character Astrid is a fey who does light and magic using staffs… so when I saw this crystal staff at A.D.D.Andel! I fell in love! It is only 50L per spin at the in-store gacha and there are lots of beautiful staffs in the machine. These are even modifiable, so I was able to make mine have a bit of a glow to better fit how I envisioned my character. Love, love, love this!

This is the super stylish Fever Mesh Pastel Jacket. It’s free to group members this month and the group is also free to join! While you’re at Virtual Diva Couture be sure to check out this huge shop and the tons of great styles everywhere.
If you remember my last post, I showed you Miss Canning’s free group gift jeans in the black. I’m showing the blue version here today. Plus, these come in a green tone as well.
I’m also wearing the ‘Simple Dragon Choker’ from Jinx. You can pick up this lovely at the Fair Play event for free. Jinx has generous set it out as a free for everyone gift just for stopping by. Fair Play runs until January 27 so don’t delay.

It’s anchors away —
With a quickie here!
You won’t want to delay —
Or you may shed a tear —
And miss out on this gift!
You must be swift —
And to Meva hurry over —
To get this gift of silver!
[poem by Astrid de Manyet]
Like many creators on the grid, Meva is generously hosting an advent calendar and giving daily gifts. All you have to do is join the group and wear your group tag. One of my favorite avatars to ‘wear’ in second life is a siren (you can glimpse the scales on my avatar in this picture), and so I loved today’s giftie — silver Anchor Earrings!
This advent gift is good for today only so hurry over to pick it up! It is FREE with your group tag so don’t forget to don the tag before clicking the advent calendar. The group is 100L to join but if you head over each day (counting today), there will be 13 total gifts for you to pick up for your small one time fee to join the group. Well worth it!
Speaking of advents, my cute pose is another advent. Be sure to check out Eternal Dream Poses. They too are hosting a fabulous advent giftie each day. The advents are a surprise so I can’t tell you which day.
You can get the gifts one of two ways: FREE with your group join (200L to join the group with a total of 24 gifts — the doors don’t close you can pick up the past gifts too!) or if you are low on group space you can pick up each gift individually for the tiny sum of just 10L!
The pose I used here included cute wearable snowflakes (not shown), but the pose was so fantastic I wanted to show it off, even without the prop!

I stopped by the North Pole to see Santa but Rudolf left me holding the Ball! It was well worth it though, as I have some tips for you on great gifties!
My fun festive gown is the holiday gift at Glitteri by Sapphire! It is FREE with your group tag and the group is only 100L to join. The gown includes both system layers as well as all the important body appliers such as Belleza, Maitreya, Omega, Slink, and TMP, and even a pair of cute feather and bell earrings! The fee is well worth it, as there are lots of past group gifts to pick up, and the gifts are plentiful and frequent!
My fun hair is today’s FREEadvent gift if you make your way to the Kittycats advent calendar. Maybe Rudolf will give you a sleigh ride that direction? Maybe! It is courtesy of Analog Dog Hair and called Sardine. It comes with detachable bangs and in blondes, reds, and browns (all with tintable huds so you can get it just about any color you want!).
My super cute pose is also an advent giftie! If you sleigh ride you way over to Eternal Dream Poses, my pose (with the adorable red holiday ball too!) is yours for just 10L or FREE if you are a member of the Eternal Dream Poses group. The group is 200L to join but there will be 24 advent gifts total, with other group gifts throughout the year later of course!
Well I’m off to decorate! And maybe warm up. My nose is nearly as red as Rudolf’s from this cold. I think hot cocoa is in order! 😀

Yes its me again, Im back! Twice in one day.. woohoo! And I have some more great goodies for you to enjoy! As you know, sometimes I like to be girly and sometimes I like to take it darker. I guess I have a Jekyll and Hyde personality style wise, but most of all I love to have fun playing dress up.
Another thing that I love is finding new stores or being reminded of old favourites and hunts are usually the best way to do this. The Dirty Turkey Hunt is one of these hunts and you will really love discovering the stores involved in this hunt as they really are among the cream of the crop of SL designers. Love has shown a few items already in this post here and here. A couple of items I am wearing in these pictures also come from this hunt. The really pretty Bubble Goth Headband is by LustRage and comes with both silver and gold spikes. My top is the Shi Tank by ARISE. Both are free as are all items in this hunt! Another store I found through the hunt is called Tabou Irresistable. I am not showing their hunt item in this post, but my eyes, piercing, necklace and bracelet are all from their amazing selection of group gifts! The group is L$25 to join but there are so many great gifts it really is a steal! Be sure to visit!
My really striking stripey leggings are called Showtime and are another great group gift from Lumae. You can only find them in their group notices so be sure to check those when you join their group as the leggings are NOT out in the store itself. Before the day is over, make sure you check out Fifty Linden Fridays. The boots I am wearing are part of the todays deals and are the Wendy Boots by Fri.Day. I love that they come with the socks attached. They are resizable and the socks, laces and metals on them are all colour changable!
I already covered one of the Glam Affair skins in my previous post here. In these pictures you can see the Lauren skin that is included in the duo pack. This tone is pearl and it really is just stunning.
Lastly, my hair is the new group gift called Horrorshow by Little Bones which includes a FULL set of colour HUDS so every colour is included. There is a group fee if you are not already a member, which is L$100. This gives you not only access to the new group gift but also all other previous group gifts which can be found in the back of the store, some of which also contain full sets of colour HUDS.

I really adore the Lolita look in both worlds and have been an avid collector of these kinds of dresses for as long as I can remember in SL. I am always thrilled to find new designers and new dresses so when I saw a notice that Antielle had placed out a Lolita style dress for their new group gift for October, I shot over to their store as quick as I could! You will need to join the “My Kawaii World” group to get the Dress!
I was even more thrilled when I saw that there was another free Lolita dress available also as a group gift! Some of you may have seen it before on the blog as Love showed it in this post along with the SLink nail appliers that are also available as a free gift for the SL Frees and Offers Group.. but Im gonna show it again as it is just so sweet!

Hello again FabFree Readers! I hope you have been enjoying October so far and that you are having fun finding all the new hunts, group gifts and freebies that come with a new month! Today I am going to be showing you some of the things you can find on The Bling Hunt! If you love a bit of sparkle in your life then this is definately the hunt for you! All prizes cost L$1 to purchase and you are looking for a little golden crown .. after all, every Queen of Bling needs her crown.
Every girl needs a glitzy dress at some point in her life, even if its just for one special night. The Celebrity Dress is the Bling Hunt prize at Sassy and fits the bill perfectly. You’ll obviously need matching shoes with that and the Bling Sandals for SLink High Feet by Heathenesque were practically made to be worn with this dress.
No glamourous look is complete without some gorgeous lips and The Bling Hunt prize at WoW Skins will add the perfect finishing touch to any skin. The Galaxy Bling lip tattooes come in a pack of colours but my favourite was the Mars shade that I am wearing here. There have been some big changes over at Tableau Vivant over the last week and to celebrate they have set out a free group gift of a full fatpack of hair HUD’s for this divine sleek hair style! The group is currently free to join!
No matter how dressed up I am, I always like to add a little bit of cute too. My adorable ring is a new promotional dollarbie from Sweet Thing! This is going to be available for two weeks before the flavour will never be available again. To get your hands on this sweet treat, simply go to the Sweet Thing Facebook page, like the page and scroll down to the post that shows the ring. Then click on the SLURL shown in the post. I was going to post the SLURL here, but I didnt know if it was a secret SLURL which is unfair to print so be sure to go to their page and like them!
I hope you enjoyed these! Stay tuned as I will be bringing you some blinging finds soon!
