Carefree Summer Stroll

Happy Mid-Week, Fabulouses!  It was time for another walk down a country lane for the pupster and I.  Today, we have a fabulous 1L hunt gift to share with you from the Around the Grid hunt, and I hope you like this complete outfit as much as I do!

Summer Freedom

Rip and I have just a small amount of summer freedom left to enjoy, so it’s kind of ironic that the outfit we bring you today is called “Liberata.”  It features a criss-cross strapped crop top and sleek capris.  The black fabric has a gorgeous sheen and realistic folded texture.  One of the things I love about gifts from Brii Underground is that they are generally complete outfits, and Liberata is no exception.  My bracelets, top, pants, and wedges are all included in the prize package, as well as sunglasses, a necklace, and a makeup layer for Catwa Jessica, which I opted not to wear for my photo.  Right out of the box, you get a full outfit that will set you up from head to toe for just one little Linden dollar.

Sizes and Mesh Body Compatibility:

• Mesh Top in XS, S, M, L, XL
• Mesh Pants in XS, S, M, L, XL
• Fitmesh Pants in XS, S, M, L, XL
• Fitmesh Top in XS, S, M, L, XL
• Alpha layer for top and pants for classic avatars
• Belleza Freya, Isis, and Venus
• eBODY
• Maitreya
• Ocacin
• Slink Hourglass and Physique
• TMP
• Tonic Curvy and Fine

Bring Out the Bands

Bring out the big bands! Or at least the street performers and a good guitar 🙂 I’m ready for some music in this snazzy get-up I found!

The perfect dress.

If you haven’t checked Baby Monkey for group gifts lately, now is the time to stop by. The group has a one time join fee of 20L, but there are three really nice group gifts out, including this Striped Beach Dress which I couldn’t resist. The colors are just fantastic!

It comes in the following sizes:

• Standard Mesh XXS – L
• TMP
• eBody
• Maireya – Lara
• Tonic – Curvy & Fine
• Slink – Hourglass & Physique
• Belleza – Freya, Isis, & Venus

The Hair Fair is still going!

I made another stop at the Hair Fair; this time at the opposite end, and visited the other side of the available sims. Exile has a free gift out that includes a style for both men and women (see guys, you aren’t left out after all!) and I struck gold with this free fatpack of hair called Evie. You’ll want this cute style for yourself!

Happy Shopping everyone!

Beachin

Hey there Fabulous Readers!  It’s another gorgeous hot and sunny Second Life day again today.  He’s resting up today, still recovering from his wild medical ride, but I needed some fresh air.  I’ll bring him back a milkshake on my way home!  🙂

It was just pure luck that I came across this beachy fun outfit as a free group gift as I was about to TP to Baja Shore for some sandy goodness.

Seriously…  All this is free!

At DM, you can join the FLG inworld group (which is free to join), and slap the vendor in the group gifts section to obtain the Summer Set that includes the skirt, top, flip flops, sunglasses and the bag!  You’ll be fully dressed – all for free! If this news wasn’t fantastic enough on it’s own, you should know that there is a texture change HUD included for the top, skirt and bag that allows for a pastel print, and a texture change HUD that includes SIX different prints for the flip flops!  The sunglasses are available in red and blue.

Sizes included:

• Flip Flops: Maitreya, Slink, Belleza
• Top: Maitreya, Slink Physique & Hourglass, TMP
• Bottom: Maitreya, Slink Physique & Hourglass

Hmmm…  What kind of shake should I get him?  Chocolate, vanilla or strawberry?

WOH3 Goes to the Beach

Hello Hello Fab Free’rs! All I can say is wow, the Women Only Hunt 3 is more than worth the effort. I almost can’t believe all the beautiful hunt prizes I’ve been seeing. I’m here today to share with you three of my personal favorites from the Women Only Hunt. Kathryn blogged a few of the WOH gifts in her posts “A Lil Bit of Lace” and “Daydreaming on a Sunday Afternoon.” You can check those posts out here. As for me, I’ve been dreaming of the beach something fierce, so of course I picked a few beach-items to share with you.

These fantastic nails are the FREE WOH prize at Slack Girl. They come in several sizes to fit various mesh hands. Also included is a color change hud to let you choose different color options. You’ll be hunting for a little coconut, and this one took me a minute to find. I don’t recall the exact hint, but it has something to do with locks or locked.

Sizes/Fits Included: Slink, Maitreya, Vista, Tuty

Next up, the cute colorful bikini Pru is wearing is the FREE WOH from Slipper. It comes in a single mesh size, and the top can be worn separately from the bottom. There really isn’t anything I don’t love about this freebie, I felt it fit my Maitreya Lara mesh body very well. I’m not sure what the hint is here either (I didn’t pick up the hud with all the hints), but it’s always good advice to try a demo.

Finally, I could not resist these gladiator sandals from ChicChica. They are also a FREE WOH prize. Even though they are bright yellow, I want to wear them with everything in my summer closet! Look for this coconut somewhere that sparkles.

Sizes Included: Slink Physique, Slink Hourglass, Maitreya Lara, Belleza Isis

Happy Hunting Fab Free!

Easy Breezy

It’s a little breezy today, and I am doing everything I can to keep my top in place, but that won’t stop me from enjoying the beach!  The sun is hot, the drinks are cool and the nachos are fantastic!  I’ll probably pay for this tomorrow, but for now it’s all good. 😀

True Beauty is Found in Virtue

Hello Fabulouses!  Ripley and I made a new pal today as we were out wandering across The Mill.  Maybe it was my cowgirl boots, maybe my lovely new dress, or perhaps the carrots I snuck to him, but Beau, here, is now one of our fast friends.  He’s super gentle, and with him around, I will never have to mow the lawn again! 🙂

Speaking of the Dress…

Eve, is the latest free gift from Virtue for members of the Fabulously Free in SL group.  With short sleeves, a body hugging bodice, and a long flowing hemline, this dress is sweetly feminine.  I really like the way the bodice and the skirt have slightly different textures that coordinate together beautifully.

Sizes and Mesh Body Compatibility

• Mesh in XS, X, M, L and XL
• Alpha layer for classic avatars
• Hourglass
• Lara
• Physique
• Venus

If you haven’t visited the group gift listing for Fabulously Free in SL members, I’d highly recommend checking it out.   The generosity of designers in SL never ceases to amaze me!  You can find the Fab Free group gift listing {HERE}.  Until my next post, happy shopping!

Down in Mexico

It’s been quite a while since I have been down to Mexico, but I do remember the sun was hot, the tequila was amazing, and the siestas were long and plentiful…  Ahhh…  I really must go back again soon.  What made me think back to my visit to Mexico was the latest group gift at Mishchino!

I’m in Stitches

You can find this sweet ethnic embroidered tank top as a free group gift for ladies at Mishchino with a 1L fee to join the group!  You can’t see the back of this top in my photo because I really wanted to feature the front stitching, but it has a cute red bow holding the straps together racer-back style – making the back as awesome as the front!

Sizes included:

• XXS – L + Alpha Layer
• Hybrid Mesh XXS – L
• Maitreya Lara
• Slink Physique
• Belleza Isis, Venus & Freya
• TMP

If you have something you need to make up for, make sure you grab this new SLF&O group gift at AsHmOoT.  He might just forget you deleted the house by accident this afternoon trying to clean up shopping bags when he sees you in this sexy lace bralet & slip set.  This sultry eye treat has got to at least distract him a little right?  The SLF&O group is free to join, so even if it doesn’t help, it won’t hurt!

Wish me luck.
