Musing Again

Sometimes when I’m thinking about what to write on my posts, inspiration comes from super weird places.  I was looking at the pic I took for this post, and the pattern on the dress made me think of a pencil case I used to have back in my elementary school days.  Back then it was all about the swirling colours, the intense and vibrant shapes and being as loud as you possibly could.  Well, at least in your colour choices…Not sure the teacher would have approved of vocal loudness!  Anyway, let’s get down to business!

Defiance

There have been some really lovely Fab Free Group Gifts out recently!  The most recent one from De’Fient Unicorn is no exception!  As I mentioned, the pattern just makes me happy, and the cut of the dress really is sexy.  As always, the Fab Free group is FREE to join, so if you haven’t yet, join up then flit over to De’Fient Unicorn, pay the vendor 1L and it will be returned to you.  Yay!

Sizes

• Belleza
• Maitreya
• Slink
• XS – XL with an Alpha Layer

Heels on Wheels

I am loving all these amazing monthly shoe gifts from Mosquito’s Way.  This month’s offering are these stunning platform heels!  Don’t you love the lacing details in the front?  I still can’t believe that this group is completely free to join, since the monthly gifts are super high quality.  The Maxine heels are sized for Belleza, Maitreya, Slink and TMP, so go pick yours up today!

I Love It

The Love store has been churning out gifts like mad in the past few weeks, and yet another one appeared in group notices just recently.  There are a few things in the box, one of them being this high ponytail hair that I will deffo be getting a lot of use out of.  The Love group is currently 400L to join, but there are a bunch of gifts in store, and you’ll find this hair (which comes in a full fatpack of colours) plus another surprise gift in group notices!  Nice!

I am sending you all the swirling, vibrant and awesome vibes.

Fab Free Designer Friday – 09/07/2018 – Fatal Fashion

Happy Friday Fab Free! This week’s Designer Friday post is all about Fatal Fashion. While the shop does cater mostly to the ladies, I think it’s important to tell you right away that there is a small section of casual menswear on the second floor. Sorry it isn’t more gentlemen, but something is better than nothing, am I right?! haha I’d say that most of the clothing at Fatal Fashion leans toward being casual, whether it is for the men or the ladies. You can also find a small section of shoes on the second floor near the menswear. I also spotted mesh clothing as well as a few applier items, so there is fashion suitable for classic avatars. One of the best things however is the teleporter sitting outside the main entrance. I love that you can simply teleport to whatever section of the store interests you the most.

If you’re interested in group gifts, you’ll want to head to the back of the store, just to the right of the center staircase. There’s a good sized wall of various group gifts including the Fatal Fashion store group gift, and the exclusive Fabulously Free in SL group gift. You may recall the Fatal Fashion gift for Fabulously Free in SL group members from Nevi’s post “Just a Beautiful Day.” Both the Fatal Fashion store group, and the Fab Free group are free to join.

While you’re there, it’s definitely worth venturing to the second floor of Fatal Fashion, even if you’re not looking for the men’s department. Most, if not all, of the clothing on the second floor appeared to be marked at 50 lindens or less. Don’t quote me on that, I didn’t check every tag! However, there are quite a few mesh and applier items for sale at bargain prices. Also on the second floor is a pair of Lucky Letter chairs. There’s one for the ladies and one for the gents. These chairs do require a group tag. You’ll need to join the Glow Events group. Not to worry, the Glow Events group is also free to join and there is a group joiner just above the Lucky Letter chairs. Happy Shopping Fab Free’rs!

Fab Free Designer of the Week – 09/01/2018 – Dream Couture

Hello and Happy First day of September Fab Free’rs! This week’s Designer of the Week is Dream Couture. I’m sure you’re wondering why the photo with the pretty fairy grass and the whimsical tree, don’t worry I’ll get to that. First, Dream Couture is a ladies clothing store. The shop is small but has a nice range of items from casual tops to slightly formal dresses. I’d say the style was cute and feminine. The Dream Couture shop is set up in a way that it doesn’t really have a visible exterior. That said, there are two bay windows, each with this cute tree window display. The fun part is there is a pose stand in front of each of the windows. You could take a few cute selfies if you were so inclined!

Also, if you’ve never been to Dream Couture, now is the perfect time to check them out. They are having a Clearance Sale and all the items in the shop are marked down to 30 lindens. Yes, you read that right, 30 linden! I think I might have even seen a few items marked lower than 30 lindens, but don’t hold me to that! Also, it’s a great time to pick up Dream Couture’s exclusive Fabulously Free in SL group gift. You may recall this casual red dress from Nevi’s post “Field of Many Colors.” All you need to do is wear your Fab Free group tag and click the gift vendor. So take a little time out of the weekend, and head over to Dream Couture for the amazing sale and fabulous Fab Free gift.  I hope you all enjoy the rest of your weekend, happy shopping!

If I Had One Wish

Hello Fab Free! I don’t know about you, but I am so ready for the weekend. Maybe I’ve watched too many romantic comedies, or read too many cheesy love stories, but I’ve been daydreaming about a romantic summer getaway lately. I could really use some gorgeous scenery and a little romance in my life! This little dress (emphasis on little) is a free group gift at Simple. I will say I felt sexy wearing it. The fruit and basket of spirits is another free Fabulously Free in SL group gift, this time from Aphrodite Shop. I really can’t think of a better way to start of a romantic weekend then with a little bubbly and a sexy dress.

The Dress – I wasn’t exaggerating when I said this dress is short, you’ve been warned! I’d even consider wearing it with some shorts, it’d be cute! This flirty dress is a free group gift at Simple. At this time the Simple group is also free to join at this time. This gift comes in a Maitreya Lara fit only in the blue floral pattern shown.

The Basket & Fruit – I have Aphrodite Shop to thank for the free gift basket of drinks and goodies, along with the spread of fresh fruit. This decorative item is a free group gift for Fabulously Free in SL group members. Just wear your Fab Free group tag and click the gift vendor. The Fabulously Free in SL group is always always always free to join.

Here are the details, enjoy!

Fab Free Designer Friday – 07/27/2018 – Uncharted

Hi There Fab Free’rs! It’s Friday, well you know how I do. I should just be honest and say “It’s almost Saturday!” haha The point is I’m happy to be here and to have you here reading this week’s Designer Friday post. This week is all about one of the more recent additions to our Fab Free designer family, Uncharted. Let me tell you, if you’re in need of some summer attire, this is a good place to start your shopping. The best way I can think of to describe the style of ladies clothing at Uncharted is mostly casual warm weather clothing. I saw short shorts, cropped tops, cute little dresses, and the like.

Speaking of cropped tops, there is a current Uncharted store group gift crop top available. It requires you to join the free-to-join E\M Events group to get the gift. You’ll notice right away that Uncharted is a fairly small shop, and everything is clearly labeled. I always love it when things are easy to locate in any store, big or small. For more group gifts head to the back of the shop under the big “Sponsor Gifts” sign. Each of the groups under this sign has a gift specific to that group. This is where you can pick up the Uncharted Fabulously Free in SL group gift. Nevi showed of this swanky red dress in her post “Simply Red.” To get your copy of this free gift, wear your Fab Free group tag and click the Fab Free sign. Also, Uncharted is having a big sale. On the same wall as the Fab Free and other group gifts, there are quite a few items marked down to just 50 linden each. All these gifts, and a sale too, sounds like the perfect way to beef up your summer wardrobe! Happy Shopping!

Pool Side

Hello hello Fab Free’rs! I’m glad you’re here. This cute little pup and I have been having some fun by the pool. Being pools side gave me the perfect excuse to wear this cute little outfit from Tiar. It’s one of the many current Fabulously Free in SL group gifts. I also picked up this cute upper-body tattoo by Primal on the Marketplace after Love pointed it out to me. I really like the freckle-like hearts. I hope you enjoy these fabulous freebies!

The Outfit – This cute little two-piece is perfect for lounging by the pool or walking along the beach. It comes in several mesh sizes and is free to all Fabulously Free in SL group members. You can pick it up at Tiar while wearing your Fabulously Free in SL group tag. At the Tiar landing point you can take the teleporter to the gifts area, or just head strait to the back of the store. This Fab Free gift along with a gift for the guys is waiting with the Tiar group gift, camping chairs, and Lucky Letter boards.
Mesh Sizes Included: Maitreya Lara, Belleza (Isis, Freya, Venus), Slink (Hourglass, Physique)

The Tattoo – I really like that this tattoo by Primal gives you little hearts across your chest and shoulders, as well as on your hands. I think it’s a very dainty tattoo. It is free on the Marketplace. With this free gift you’ll get Omega appliers and classic system layers in Faded, Normal, and Fresh options. The system layers make this tattoo suitable for classic avatars as well as mesh.

P.S. Two of the pool-side props are Marketplace freebies/cheapies I wanted to let you in on as well. I’ll link them in the credits with their cost so you can pick them up as well!

Fab Free Designer of the Week – 07/14/2018 – De’Fient Unicorn

Hi there and happy weekend Fab Free’rs! I know, I missed getting this up late on Friday, sorry about that. This week’s designer post is all about De’Fient Unicorn. the unique name actually says a lot about what this fun little shop has to offer. De’Fient Unicorn has an eclectic mix of colorful female fashion, makeup, and accessories. Right as you walk in this brightly colored shop, you’ll see all the general information along with helpful items like a redelivery terminal. Once inside De’Fient Unicorn if you venture directly to the right you’ll see the current De”Fient Unicorn group gifts. The De’Fient Unicorn group is currently 1 linden to join and along with several group gifts, group members get store discounts when shopping while wearing their group tag. You may even recall one of the De’Fient Unicorn group gifts from Aline’s post “Cotton Candy Sunsets.” This gift is still available.

Speaking of group gifts, located across from the De’Fient Unicorn group gifts are a few additional gifts for other store associated groups. This is where you’ll find the exclusive Fabulously Free in SL group gift. Don’t forget your Fab Free group tag. Don’t have a Fab Free group tag yet? Get one! The Fab Free group is always free to join.

Once you’ve filled up on group gifts you’ll notice as you shop there are a couple of almost free makeup finds near the entrance, and there is a table stacked with discounted/sale items further inside the store. Most of these items appear to be 50 linden or less. Also, there is a vendor on the second floor with a hand-full of discounted items. Happy Shopping Fab Free!

I Will Sparkle Like A Wealthy Woman’s Neck

There are soooo many group gifts available to the FabFree group, and they are always being added to and changing. Today I wanted to show you two of the gifts that I think go really well together! To get them, you’ll just need to join the free FabFree group or activate your tag, and head over to each store.

I.M. Collection

How gorgeous is this dress? It’s classy but still fun and sexy. The texturing is truly lovely, I’m really impressed with the quality. It is the free FabFree group gift at I.M. Collection. The dress comes in sizes for:

• Freya
• Isis
• HG
• Maitreya
• Phys
• Venus
• and 4 Fitmesh sizes S-XL

Chop Zuey

My pretty necklace comes in silver and gold, but I’m typically more of a silver girl so that’s the one I’m wearing. I think it’s just perfect with this dress, but I could also think of lots of other things to wear it with too! It is the free FabFree group gift at Chop Zuey.

To keep up these and all of the other awesome FabFree group gifts, you know what to do. The list is over there! ~~~~>

Fab Free Designer Friday – 06-15-2018 – Casanova Store

Happy Weekend Fab Free’rs! This week’s Designer Friday post is about Casanova Store. Mark the day, this one isn’t a fashion clothing store! Casanova Store is a furniture store with a little bit of everything from indoor and outdoor furniture to stripper poles! I would consider the style of the furniture to be mostly modern. Most of the furniture at Casanova Store does appear to include adult animations or poses. The shop is not necessarily adult themed, but I wanted everyone to be aware. So if you want adult furniture you know Casanova Store is a place to find it!

There are a few opportunities for some cool freebies at Casanova Store. There also appears to be a store sale going on at the moment, that makes two fabulous reasons to stop by Casanova Store.  First, I want to tell you the Casanova Store group is free to join, no reason to hesitate! Right now there is a Casanova group Midnight Mania board up that has a very modern looking house as the prize. You’ll see the MM board at the back of the store. Right next to the MM board is a small desk that has the Casanova Store group gift, and the exclusive Fab Free group gift bedroom set. You need to wear your Fabulously Free in SL group tag to get this free pink and black bedroom set. There are a few other group gifts to be had as well, so don’t miss those. So if you need a little something furniture wise for your home, definitely stop by Casanova Store and don’t forget your freebies!

Properly Spoiled

I used to hate when people used to call others “spoiled”.  It was only recently that I started calling myself that.  You realise with time that there are those who have way less than you, or whose circumstances are worse than yours, or perhaps even that they don’t have anyone who will check up on them.  In that sense, I’m super spoiled, so I wear my t-shirt today with pride!

Spoil Me

My adorable cropped tee is a Fab Free Group Gift from Tiar.  It’s completely free to all members of the Fab Free inworld group, so don your tag and be spoiled!  I love the colours – anything vaguely unicorny makes me happy!  If you’d rather go a bit darker though, there’s an HUD to change the top to black (or pink – of course!).

Sizes

• Freya
• Isis
• Venus
• Maitreya
• Hourglass
• TMP

Cropped Up

The cropped jeans I’m wearing today are a sweet find by HashTag on Marketplace – only 5 Lindens for a pair of artfully ripped jeans that I’ll probably wear with everything this summer!  They fit my Maitreya body perfectly, but if you have another body I’d give it a try and use your alphas to see if they fit you too.  I’d say that’s a steal!

Go spoil yourselves, my darlings!
