Book Worm

Hello There Fab Free! Are you feeling that holiday rush yet? I know I am! I needed to take a minute, relax, and unwind. A favorite way to do that is to find a comfy spot to sit, pick a good book to read, and sip a warm cup of tea (or coffee).  DE.Boutique recently sent out this cozy over-sized sweater dress to their Subscriber group. Also, I took a little time to pop over to Fameshed and pick up the pile of free gifts waiting under the Christmas tree. For today, I’m excited to share with you the Fameshed gifts from MINA and Contraption. Keep reading for more info about each of these fantastic finds!

The Dress – This wine colored gradient sweater dress was sent out earlier this week to the DE.Boutique Subsciber group. It is called the Zoe dress, and it comes int several mesh sizes. I do want to point out that I am unsure if new subscribers will receive the free gift of not. I did try unsubscribing and re-subscribing to the DE.Boutique Subscriber, and the gift was not redelivered. However I would still encourage anyone to stop by DE.Boutique and join their Subscriber group to be sure and receive any future gifts. Also, check your inventory, if you’re already a DE.Boutique Subscriber, you may have received it.

Sizes Included: Maitreya Lara, Tonic (Curvy, Fine), Ebody, Belleza (Venus, Freya, Isis), Slink (Hourglass, Physique)

The Hair – This cute puffed up side pony is the free Fameshed group gift by MINA. The Fameshed group is free to join, and you’ll need to wear the group tag to get the gifts. You’ll find a whole pile of presents under the Fameshed Christmas tree. This hairstyle from MINA comes in a “browns” color pack, but I have to say the color range is quite broad, there are very dark almost black shades, and very deep auburn red shades along side several brunettes.

The Glasses – I love these unique glasses with their rectangular lenses. They are the free Fameshed group gift by Contraption available under the Fameshed Christmas tree. This gift includes a color/texture change hud that will let you pick from preset colors to change the color of each lens individually, as well as the frame. You will need to wear the Fameshed group tag to get the gift, however the Fameshed group is free to join.

Here are the details, enjoy!

Merry Christmas Malvada Mujer

Hello There Fab Free’rs! One thing I am certain to be excited about in both real and Second Life is free makeup. It does not happen nearly as often in real life, so thankfully there’s SL. La Malvada Mujer recently put out this cool glam grunge makeup applier set as a free gift for everyone. The set includes lipstick appliers with 3 iridescent color options, and tattoo/eye makeup appliers with 3 variations. There is an Omega applier and a Genus applier for both the lipstick and eye makeup/tattoo.

To best show how the makeup looks, I used the Omega appliers to apply the makeup to Pru’s Catwa Koura head in the photo on the left. The photo on the right shows Pru wearing the Genus Project Classic head and having used the Genus makeup appliers. I love this unique makeup look with the almost holographic looking lipstick, the stylized bee tattoo, and even the smudgy black eye-shadow on the lower lid. To get your copy of this free gift head over to La Malvada Mujer and purchase the set for zero linden. You’ll find it waiting for you on the shop’s Christmas tree.

Here are the details, enjoy!

Goodbye to November

Hello Fab Free’rs! I’ve missed you! I have had such a busy week this week, and I know it’s going to get busier. It’s just that time of year, not that I am complaining. Can you believe we are saying goodbye to November and before we know it December first will be here?! Eep! I’m not ready, not yet. So now would be a good time to pick up any November group gifts you’ve yet to snag. I came across two fabulous group gifts that needed to be shared with you. First, I picked up this sexy dress from Chic Moda. Second, I picked up these pretty dangle earrings from Maxi Gossamer. Keep reading for the details!

The Dress – This slinky dress is sassy and sexy on. If you’re wanting a more cold weather style, I think it’d look adorable with a fur coat and some tall boots. You can get this cute little number in the color shown for free at Chic Moda by joining the Chic Moda group. There is a small join fee of 50 linden. This dress also has a unique feature, it has matching panties that are part of the dress, but can be made invisible using the included hud. The dress comes in a size to fit Maitreya Lara bodies, and Slink Hourglass bodies only.

The Earrings – I love jewelry that has the ability to be casual or dressy. These earrings by Maxi Gossamer definitely fit into that category. They are cute metallic chandelier style earrings that come with a color change hud. The color hud lets you pick from several solid color options. These are a free group gift for all Maxi Gossamer group members. Also, the Maxi Gossamer group is free to join. Also these cute earrings are light reactive!

Just a Wish

Happy Friday Fab Free’rs! Did you know that Sn@tch has a new 7Seas Fishing outfit out? I got notice of this gorgeous set the other day and had to try my luck. The skirt alone was enough to grab my attention. However, I have to say I am very much impressed with the way the skirt and the sweater both look on. All the pieces to this very gypsy boho style look are lovey really, even though I chose to show just the skirt and sweater in my photo. First, if you have never been fishing with the 7Seas Fishing rod before I’ll give you a quick rundown.

How to go 7Seas Fishing

If this is your first time fishing, I suggest getting a “casual” fishing rod. You can purchase a casual rod at the 7Seas fishing kiosk near the Sn@tch entrance. There are other rod options, but I only use a casual rod. The casual rod will cost you a one time purchase price of 100 linden. Once you have your rod you can use it forever to fish at any participating 7Seas Fishing area. Now you’re ready to go fish for this outfit!

Moonchild

This “Fish for This” outfit from Sn@tch has several pieces. You can score a complete head-to-toe look. You’ll end up reeling in individual pieces of the outfit one at a time. Items like the skirt and top which come in several sizes will be pulled in by color so all size options are included. When I said several pieces are up for grabs, I meant it. There are 24 pieces total including hair, jewelry, and shoes! There are also system layers for classic avatars. Below is a copy of the vendor ad so you can get a better look at the complete “Moonchild” outfit by Sn@tch. The mesh skirt and sweater both come in sizes to fit Maitreya Lara, Belleza (Freya, Isis, Venus), and Slink (Hourglass, Physique) bodies.

Here are the details, enjoy!

Hair – Wasabi // Sia Mesh Hair – Basics
Head – CATWA HEAD Koura Bento
Skin –  Essences – Vanya
Face Tattoos – { Speakeasy } : Fear – 1L on the Marketplace

Peaches & Cream

Hey There Fab Free’rs! Happy Sunday! I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. I’ve got a quick little post for today. This cute little romper by 1 Hundred is their free SLF&O hunt prize. The moment I put it on, it had me daydreaming of summer. It comes sized to fit Maitreya Lara, all 3 Belleza bodies, and both of the Slink bodies. To get your free copy of this peach “weekend romper” just head over to 1 Hundred and find the fall leaf.

Also, I picked up one of several group gifts available at Carol G. There are even a few tattoo gifts for guys! This pretty black and grey rose tattoo is on of the group gifts. It comes in appliers for Slink, Maitreya, Belleza, and TMP bodies, as well as Omega appliers. Each applier has 4 choices of opacity as well. The Carol G group has a one time join fee of 150 linden.

Sweet as Pie

Hello There Fab Free’rs! I hope everyone is having a wonderful day. I can’t believe the month of September has already almost passed us by. There are several September events and Hunts coming to an end. One of which is Limit8. If you haven’t picked up all the fabulous free gifts hurry and grab them before the event ends. I picked up this cute lattice style apple pie by Your Dreams. It’s one of the many free Limit8 group gifts. The Limit8 group is free to join, and I’ll add some links down below to some of the previous Fab Free posts featuring Limit8 gifts just in case you missed them.

That skillet style pie makes me think of southern style apple pies. I can almost smell the cinnamon and spices! It almost makes me want to bake one myself, almost. Instead, I’ll just let Pru pretend in her virtual kitchen. It just so happens Blacklace also put out a group gift recently. Usually I wouldn’t think of baking and lingerie together, but the cute vintage feel of this bustier and panties set got me thinking of those vintage style pinup images you often see. The Blacklace group gift comes in several sizes and has an alpha layer for classic avatars. Also included is a color change hud with 8 color choices. The hud will allow you to color the bra separately from the panties so you can mix and match. The Blacklace Lingerie group has a one time join fee of 99 linden. This group gift set can be found in the past group notices, or picked up at the main store.

Sizes Included: Standard Mesh (xxs – L), Maitreya Lara, Slink (Hourglass, Physique), Belleza (Isis, Freya, Venus)

More From Limit8 which is ending soon!

One in a Melon

Hello Fab Free’rs! We survived Monday! I think that in itself is worth celebrating. I don’t know about you, but I like to treat myself with some shopping, especially when the shopping doesn’t really cost much. Right now you can pick up a set of adorable summertime themed tanks like the one Pru has on for free with your group tag at Hot Elegant Clothing (HEC). This group gift comes in a few different sizes, and includes an alpha layer for classic avatars. There’s also a fantastic color/texture change hud that not only allows to pick from several preset color/image options, it also lets you choose the opacity of the top, and toggle on or off the full bright option. I love the version Pru has on. It says “One in a Melon.” What can I say, I’m a sucker for a good pun. To get yours simply head over to HEC and join the in-world group. There is a one time join fee of 25 linden. Then click the gift vendor while wearing your HEC group tag.

Sunset at Sea

Hello, welcome back to the blog Fab Free’rs! So I did a little more frog hunting on the Enchantment Frog Prince Hunt and decided I wanted to share even more of the free hunt gifts with you. There are lots of cute prizes to be had, and the Frog Prince Hunt does not end until August 31st.

The Flower Mask – This pretty vine of flowers is the free Frog Prince Hunt gift at Snowpaws. The beautifully detailed mask comes in 2 sizes, each with 2 attachment point options. Also included is a held version of the mask which I think is a cool addition.

Hint – There is no elevator to success, you have to take the stairs. 

The Swimsuit – I think there’s something really beautiful about this swimsuit from Have Unequal. It is their free gift for the Frog Prince Hunt. I think it’s the combination of the soft pink color and the gold details. There’s even a pretty “embroidered” gold scarab type image on the back. This gift comes in a Maitreya fit only.

Hint – The little frog is in love with the butterfly. 

Here are the details, happy hunting!

Hair –  Clawtooth: Soaked (Brunettes w/roots Pack)
Head – CATWA HEAD Koura Bento
Skin – Essences – Blake
Mask – Snowpaws – Lily Pad Mask – Free Enchantment Frog Prince Hunt Gift

Queen Bee

Hello hello Fab Free’rs! Happy Sunday! Pru is serving some serious face on this Sunday-funday, and with good reason. I have two group gifts from Swallow to tell you about, and the August group gift from e.marie. I hope you love them.

Swallow – It had been a little bit since I’d stopped in Swallow to check out all their cool jewelry and such. So I did, and I’m always impressed with their group gift section. During a recent shopping excursion at Swallow I picked up this beautiful bee septum piercing. It comes with a hud that lets you pick from several metallic tones, and switch the full bright on or off. Also it has resize scripts for easy fitting.

The second gift I picked up at Swallow (out of the many available) is a pretty lip applier set. There are 2 applier sets, with 3 lipstick shades (a red, a purple, and a pink) each. I will say that the colors are very similar in the two sets, one set seems just a bit more matte than the other maybe. That said, they are all very pretty on. The appliers work with Catwa heads only. The Swallow group does have a one time join fee of just 40 linden.

E.Marie – The super cute manicure Pru has is the August group gift at e.marie. The set is a fun mix of black, white, gold, and what I would call a rose-gold color with cool graphic images and patterns. I’ll include the vendor photo below so you can get a better look. This manicure set from e.marie comes in several fits/sizes. Also, there’s a regular version, and a “shine” version. These are mesh nails, not appliers! The e.marie group has a one time join fee of just 50 linden.
