Hello hello Fab Free, and welcome back to the blog. I hope everyone has had an enjoyable week so far. Mine has been good, and creating content for this blog always makes it brighter. For today, it’s time for a designer of the week post with the spotlight on KaraBaby. A shop focused post has been long over due. If you’ve ever visited KaraBaby you know this clothing boutique specializes in mesh and applier clothing for female avatars.
Most of what you’ll find at KaraBaby is casual style dresses, and outfits. There is however a wide range of fashion. You can find everything from lingerie and evening dresses to shoes and swimwear. While browsing the “racks” I saw lots of bright colors and dainty prints. There are also some great opportunities at KaraBaby to pick up some fashion for little to no lindens.
Once inside the KaraBaby shop you’ll find the 35 Linden Sunday Sales items are still available to the right side next to the event items. To the left just as you enter you’ll see the freeKaraBaby group gift, and the free group gift for Fabulously Free in SL group members. First, the free KaraBaby group gift is the pretty floral print dress shown. At this time the KaraBaby group is free to join. Next, the pretty shoes with vintage flair are the free Fabulously Free in SL group gift. The Fab Free group is always free to join. Additionally, there is a discount area upstairs where you can find great bargains on older items. Happy Shopping!
Konnichiwa Fab Free! I have to say I’ve been having so much fun with the Asian theme of the Medieval Fantasy Hunt. The prizes have given me lots of inspiration. I’m also enjoying the mix of traditional themes with modern style. For today’s post I’m wearing the female MFH prize at Mishmash Fusion. It’s a short modern dress with a bit of Japanese flair to the cut and fabric. There’s a male prize also, which you can check out in the vendor photo below. The MFH is a free hunt, so this pretty prize won’t cost anything. All you have to do is find it!
Calling all my goth, grunge, punk rock, pinup girls. The current 7 Seas Fishing outfit at Sn@tch is a must have. The “She’s a Rebel” set has 21 pieces in total. There are cute ruffled bikinis in several colors/patterns, shoes, jewelry, a tattoo, hair, and the skull print slip cover/dress. Like all the Fish4This outfits at Sn@tch, this one is free as long as you have the required 7 Seas fishing rod. All you need to do is fish for them! The 7 Seas casual rod will cost you 100 linden, however it can be used over and over again.
From the “She’s a Rebel” collection, I’m wearing the swimsuit cover as a dress. It’s a bit of a hi-lo style tank dress with the skull graphic that reads “RebelRock”. This dress is the number 15 piece and comes in several sizes, also an alpha layer is included.
The “Paige” hairstyle I have on is also part of the “She’s a Rebel” Fish4This set at Sn@tch. The color I am wearing is the Ash Blonde, which is the number 20 piece. The set includes this style in a few other colors as well.
Lastly, I’m also wearing the shoes that are part of the “She’s a Rebel” set at Sn@tch. You’ll fish the right shoe and the left shoe separately, they are the number 13 and number 14 pieces. These heels come in 3 sizes, and are black with silver hardware as shown.
There is magic if you believe in it. There are also freebies galore if you know where to look. The current round of Hot Summer 35L Sales is an excellent place to pick up quite a few free gifts. You’ll find clothing, poses, and even some beachy furniture. Also, the items at the booths are either 35 lindens each or 50% off regular price. The event runs now through July 31st, and you will need to join the 35L Sunday group. However, the group is free to join. The hair and dress I’m wearing are both free gifts at the Hot Summer 35L Sales event.
The Hair
This cute pinned up hairstyle is a freeHot Summer 35L Sales event gift by DeVon. Just don’t forget that 35L Sunday group tag. The hairstyle comes in the single ash blond shade shown. I also want to mention that as far as I could figure, it cannot be resized, it can however be repositioned.
P.S. The DeVon Gift also includes a brown shoulder bag!
The Dress
This pretty little dress by Melt is another of the many free gifts at the Hot Summer 35L Sales event. It comes with a color change hud that lets you pick from 6 jewel tones and black, for 7 total color choices. It comes in several sizes, and has an alpha layer making it suitable for classic avatars.
Welcome to my sanctuary, also known as the most recent group gift at MINIMAL. This backdrop by MINIMAL is not only gorgeous, it is free to all MINIMAL group members. It comes in 2 versions; one with side door openings like shown, and one with out. The MINIMLAL group is 50 linden to join.
Also, the sweet little dress I’m wearing is the free July group gift at WellMade. It has a color/texture change hud that lets you pick from 7 solid pastel colors for the top, and 7 watercolor-like floral prints for the skirt. Currently the WellMade group is free to join, and there are quite a few free group gifts available. Don’t have group space? You can also pick this gift up on the Marketplace for 1 linden.
A big part of nostalgia for me occurs with certain smells. The scent of a specific incense, or a certain soap, even flowers can trigger memories. I love that. Generally the memories are always pleasant ones. My nostalgic smells aside, I do have some fabulous group gifts to share with you, so let’s get to it.
The Dress
This cute blue jean dress does have a bit of nostalgia for me in that it reminds me of that time in the early ’90s when Guess jeans were all the rage, and denim everything was in style. It’s one of many free group gifts at Julia’s Scandal. I paired the dress with a low cut applier tank top for a bit of added modesty. This dress showed a bit more of my girls than I wanted. My shape however could have been the culprit. Either way, I think it’s a cute look. The Julia’s Scandal group is free to join at this time.
I know you can not see beaded the earrings I have on super well in this photo. My apologies for that, they seem to blend in with the background. I’ll include the vendor photo below so you can see these fun over-sized earrings by Indulge Temptation. They are the current Teleport Hub group gift at IT!. The earrings come in a blue and red version, and a pink and blue version, each with three metal choices. The Teleport Hub group has a one time join fee of 10 linden.
The Pose & Flower
This pretty bento pose by Hazeel was previously a Pose Fair gift, and now can be picked up at the Hazeel pose shop, with your Hazeel group tag. The gift includes the bento pose in and out of a poseball, and the rose in pink, red, or yellow. Each rose also has a transfer version so you can pass it to others. The Hazeel group has a one time join fee of 99 linden, and there are multiple group gifts available.

Hello Fab Free! I hope you’re enjoying the weekend. I couldn’t resist taking a moment to share the SL16B gift by Dead Dollz with you. This gorgeous blue halter style dress is free at the SL16B Aurelian region. It comes in a Maitreya Lara fit only in the single pastel blue color shown. I hope you love it!
There are some fashion items that though they speak of another decade, they are timeless. I feel that way about dresses with peter-pan collars. Needless to say, I had to show this dress by Fashionably Dead. It’s their free gift in celebration of Second Life’s 16th Birthday. I think it happens to go perfectly with Lamb’s gift hairstyle for SL16B, and the gift set of pastel lip colors Alaskametro has out as their free SL16B gift. I felt like a 1960s fashion model with a modern edge. Keep reading for more info on each of these fantastic freebies.
I really love this free SL16B gift dress by Fashionably Dead. It comes in a wide range of solid colors, and has a girlish but still grown up look to it. The Fashionably Dead shop for SL16B is located in the Gilded region. This cute dress comes in the following sizes for each color: Maitreya Lara, Slink (Physique, Hourglass), Belleza (Isis, Freya).
This flowing over the shoulders hairstyle is the free SL16B gift by Lamb. It comes in a full fatpack of colors. It also has a hairbase style hud with the choice of hiding or showing the hairbase feature. Lamb’s shop is in SL16B’s Tinseled region. You’ll find this generous freebie waiting there.
Lastly, but far from least, I couldn’t complete my modern retro look without some shimmery lips. Alaskametro put out a pretty Omega applier “Bubblegum” lip gloss pallet as their free SL16B gift. It has 6 frosty pastel shades, and an additional feature that lets you pick from 3 different lip shapes for each color. I think that is a really cool option. This fabulous gift also has one more unique feature that I really like, there’s a button on the hud that will send you the classic system layers for this lip gloss set. Alaskametro is in the SL16B Halcyon region, which is where you’ll find this awesome makeup freebie.
Happy shopping Fab Free, here are the details:
