Silky Dreams

Foulard dress 2_001

I love learning (well anything but math!). While scrounging around in my recent inventory I came across one of the gifts from the Inov Event. It’s name is Foulard. I was thinking a foulard was something like a faux-pas or maybe something a fool might do. Man, I was way off. It turns out that foulard is a lightweight plain-woven or twilled silk usually decorated with a printed pattern. That’s your fashion lesson for today fabbies!

You Would Be a Fool Not to Love It

I would describe Blonde Queen’s free gift at the Inov event as F-I-N-E! It’s a mini dress with such a gorgeous texture that gives it an elegant look. It does look quite silky. I polished off the look with with a free necklace from Evado (that Aline showed you HERE) along with red heels and lipstick. The Foulard dress gift comes in this texture. I mean, why would you want to change it?  Just join the free Inov group, and click on the gift!

Spring is Busting Out All Over

tASTIC mEAN gIRLS rEDONE_001

What screams spring more than daisies? Nothing! You can find them in many colors in Second Life. Daisies always bring a smile to my face. (Weird, I know!) Mean Girls isn’t mean at all. Not one bit! Bop over to the event, join the free group and look for all of the gifts and great bargains.

One of the gifts you can pick up at the event is this super cute spring dress by Tastic. The Sherie Floral dress is yours for free at Mean Girls. It’s perfect for these warmer sunny days. The texture hud has 12 different flower textures so I guess that technically makes it a fatpack! Sherie is sized for Legacy/Perky, Kupra, Maitreya/Petite, Freya, Isis, & Hourglass. You need this dress for sure.

Happy Friday people!

Fifty is Nifty

FLF Fake Society Evelyn with Navy & Copper Elodie 2_001

What time is it? It’s Fifty Linden Friday (FLF) time! Weeeee! I love sales and shopping and today I picked up a couple of goodies from the sale.

It’s Not All Red

My dress, Evelyn, is the FLF offering from Fake Society for today. For me it’s a fresh take on similar styled dresses. From the spaghetti straps to the slightly ruched sides it may become one of my favs. And I adore the corset look with the ties. This dress comes as a fatpack with a set of three colors for each mesh body fit.

Sizes

  • Freya
  • Hourglass
  • Kupra
  • Legacy
  • Maitreya

And Then There Was Hair

Yes, dear readers, I bought another hairstyle today from Navy & Copper. We all need more hair, don’t we? Actually, there are several stores also offering hair as FLF items today.

Her name is Elodie. The attached ribbon gives it a playful look. Of course, I bought the red pack for $50L there are five other packs on sale ranging from blonde to pastels and everything in between. If a new fresh look for spring.

I off to find more great prices. Don’t wait too long as the sales usually come down at midnight SL time.

TTFN, 

Cre

Color Me Purple

Masoom Frosted Dress Gift Essential inventory 2_001

Happy Tuesday! My dear little kitty woke me up for food at 6 AM. He can be a bit of a pain but he’s a loveable one. I must confess this post has nothing to do with kitties. That was my first thought when I sat down to write this post. He was meowing quite loudly to go outside.

Looks Like a Purple Day

Several days ago I wrote about a free group gift for the free Essential Inventory group. Today I’m wearing another great group gift called FrostBite by Masoom. I totally love everything about this dress. The details, like all of the buckles on the bolero and dress are well done. And, oh my, the finger sleeves make this dress semi-elegant. The outfit comes in this color only.

Sizes

  • Kupra
  • Maitreya Lara & Petite
  • Legacy/Perky
  • Reborn
  • Juicy
  • Mounds

Completing the Look

Gold Square has a nice selection of group gifts. One of them is the nails I’m wearing. These come with a texture change hud of 12 colors. The Gold Square group now costs $145 to join. If you’d like a varied selection of gifts join this group. You also get access to 21 Lucky Boards as well as a wall of gifts from animation overrides to shapes, clothing, and accessories.

Have fun out there!

Wanna Feel Sexy?

Telsiope 4-22-2023_001

Hello dear readers.  Today I have news of a new release from one of our FabFree designers plus a MM prize you can get without a group tag. This is a short and sweet post. Telsiope’s Couture designer, Sitlan Breil, always surprises me with great designs. The textures are always fresh and you can’t beat the prices. The Cristina top and pants are sold separately for the price of $99L each. As you can see in the picture the cut-out pants are tres sexy. There are ties that hang off the pants (they hold the pants up!). Cristina’s top is a crossed halter design and has small buttons as accents on the front. You will find three texture change huds with oodles of colors in each package.

Sizes

    • Belleza X Classy & Curvy
    • Legacy
    • Maitreya
    • Reborn

I would be remiss if I didn’t mention my ultra high heels. And I got them without spending any $L! All you have to do is join the Essential Inventory Updates group for free

Telsiope Naomi 4-22-2023_001

What’s that you said?? Of course there are a number of gifts for various groups, a MM board, and a booty sit n’ win. I found this lovely swimsuit on sale for $50L. You’ll find the discount vendor on the third floor along with the aforementioned MM board, gifts, etc. It’s worth a climb up those steps. So slap that MM board to make it hit the target and pick up this awesome bathing suit that comes with a hud containing 16 textures. I think one of the reasons I love the clothing from Telsiope’s Couture is partly because I love the textures.

Sizes

  • Altamura
  • Belleza Freya & Isis
  • Ebody Curvy
  • Kupra Original, Bimbo, & Low
  • Legacy (includes Perky)
  • Maitreya
  • Signature Alice
  • SLINK Hourglass

Here’s to the start of another Fabulous week!

It’s a Very Happy Weekend

Happy weekend 60L 4-23-2023_002

Our weather has been so beautiful lately providing sunny days and cool breezes bringing us a chance to breathe in spring. I came down shopping bug earlier today. It all started with a gander at The Happy Weekend sale gallery. I saw way too many things that I need/want. You know what I mean. But in my wanderings I also came across a completely free dress.

Did You Say Free Dress??

I’ve talked about Nilsy in previous posts. Each weekend another gift comes out. You don’t need a group. Once you land in the store walk towards the back behind the staircase and you’ll easily see the  weekend’s free gift. Nilsy is a very generous designer. I’m wearing the Tropic Folk Dress today. I am ready for the tropics as long as air-conditioning is available! The texture, the ruffled sleeves and the flouncy look of the hem all fit together to make it a keeper for sure.

Sizes

  • Altamura
  • Belleza Isis, Freya, Venus
  • Ebody
  • Maitreya
  • SLink Hourglass & Physique
  • TMP

New Choos!

I love new shoes almost as much as I love new hair! The Sphere shoes from Azoury are so cute! The style is a bit abstract but it only makes them more special in my eyes. You can grab a pair yourself for $60L. Shoes come with a version of silver nails and another with gold nails.

Sizes

  •  Maitreya: Lara
  • eBODY: Reborn
  • Kalhene: Erika
  • Legacy: Female
  • Belleza: Gen.x Female

New Hair!

For the Happy Weekend sale Wings set out the ER0115 style. I’ve never really frequented the store so I was quite pleased to see this curly long style. It’s rigged so you don’t even have to comb it out! *giggles*. But seriously your avatar will love it because it won’t raise your avatar rendering complexity by much like older hair used to do.

Well gang, I think I hear my pillow calling, so ttfn!

What a Day for a Daydream

PUNK justus MM Insomnia A_001

Do you ever have those nights where you just can’t sleep? Yeah, that old insomnia is a bear. But I can withstand if I can look this cute when my head hits the pillows. Let me tell you all about it. One day a call to slap a “No Group Needed” Midnight Mania board over at Punk Justus. Being the good Fab Freer that I am I rushed over to slap it. It’s one of the boards where everyone gets the prize if the target is reached. Don’t you just love them?

What I got from that board is this comfy set consisting of a top and panties named Insomnia. It’s a simple outfit that you can use together or separately. And, the fit is perfect on my Maitreya body. It incudes an 8 color/texture change hud. It looks so comfy that I need one to wear in RL too!

Sizes

  • Ebody Reborn
  • Erika Kahlene
  • Kupra
  • Legacy
  • Maitreya
  • It also works for Juicy Boobs

Get to slapping folks!

I Kissed a Bunny

No_Match GG April LW Pose Easter hunt Top 3_001

Some days you need far more coffee than usual. Today is one of those where I feel groggy and have brain fog. I’ll drink this whole pot and hope this coffee helps. As usual I have been running around the grid picking up goodies. Have a pot with me so I can tell you about my finds.

Never Does it Disappoint

No_Match never disappoints its’ group when gifts come out. My hair today is the latest group gift, No_Selection. It is perfect for spring with the flower band and little flowers in the loosely braided pigtails. The bangs do a great job of framing my face. The package includes an unrigged version, 2 rigged sizes, 5 texture change huds (red, black, brown, blonde, & unicorn), and a pack of both BOM and EVOX BOM hairbases. The No_Match group costs $50L to join. It is money well-spent because you then have access to an entire room of past group gifts. It’s like Hair-Pa-Looza!

Cre, Can I Get a Cuppa Coffee?

Of course you can! It’s an offer for the Hello Tuesday sale today at Gravity Poses today for $50L. The First Step Coffee poses and prop are fun items. I know we all have those days when an entire pot of coffee is required to start the day. And I even get to have a cig with it!

Egg on My Top

No, I’m not a messy eater so it’s not like the yolk is on me. Get it, eh, eh? The eggs are the texture on the Perla Easter Eggs Tied Top. You’ll find it at Adore Amore for $1L. It’s the offer for the Cheeky Monkey Hunts April hunt –Bunny Kisses & Easter Wishes 3. Yes, I know Easter has passed but I can wear egg patterns any day in our virtual world.

Sizes

  • EBody
  • Legacy/Perky
  • Maitreya/Petite

Don’t be surprised if you pop in at midnight and see me still in SL.
