Goodbye Summer Romance

Hello There Fab Free’rs! Isn’t it exciting, our Fab Free blog has been bubbling with activity recently and it’s been marvelous. I’m excited to see all the posts from the new additions to our Fabulous team. For now I have some fantastic September group gifts from Avi-Glam, E.Vary, and Sevyn East I’m excited to share with you, starting with this beautiful pink paisley romper from Sevyn East.

Sevyn East has a few group gifts available for FREE to all group members, and I think this summery romper is the most recent of the gifts. In true nerd form, the paisleys were the most exciting part of this romper for me. It comes in fitmesh sizes, as well as body specific sizes for Slink, TMP, Maitreya, and Belleza. Also included is a color change hud so you don’t have to wear pink if you’d rather not! The hud lets you pick between pink, teal, yellow, and violet. The Sevyn East group is FREE to join, so no reason to miss out on this or the other FREE gifts.
Another FREE group gift for the month of September comes from Avi-Glam. These pretty pale green eyes are FREE to group members, and the group is FREE to join. You’l find this FREE gift on the counter in the center of the Avi-Glam main store. Included with the mesh eyes is a hud to adjust the size, and let you switch “full bright” on or off.

Finally, E.Vary has put out another beautiful skin for FREE to all their group members. This skin is named Yuli, and as you can see in the above photo, she has the option of being freckled or not freckled. Included with this gift is a classic system skin, a freckle tattoo layer, a cleavage tattoo layer, 4 shapes, and an applier hud with options for Catwa heads, Omega compatible heads, and Omega compatible bodies. The E.Vary group, like all the groups in this post, is FREE to join. Also, there are a couple of other previous group gifts to be had.  You might need to join the in-word subscriber group as well to get this gift (I joined both), which of course is also FREE. You’ll see the group gift vendors in front of the desk at the E.Vary store.

Here are the details, Enjoy!

T.G.I.F.

It’s Fri-yay!!! Hello hello Fab Free’rs, I hope you’re enjoying this fine day, or are about to have a great weekend. As for me, I’m glad to be here sharing my Fabulous finds with you. For today I wanted to focus on hair and makeup. In my personal opinion one of the best things about Second Life is the ability to infinitely customize the look of your avatar. To say that my personal taste is eclectic would be an understatement, I love the freedom SL gives me to change my look entirely on a whim. That said, not all changes need to be dramatic. Sometimes something as simple as a new hairstyle, a new set of eyes, a bold eyeliner, or a different shade of lipstick can be all the change you need.

Speaking of hairstyles, I really like this FREE gift from Moda. I think the half up half down messy bun a great mix of casual and effortlessly chic. There’s no need to join a group or slap a board to get this FREEbie from Moda. The gift is FREE for everyone, and includes a chest-friendly fit. This is the only hair color included, however it’s FREE and really it’s quite pretty. To get this gift, head to the very back of the Moda store and click on the vendor. There are also several other non-group and group gifts waiting.
Okay, I know they are mildly distracting, but please do your best to ignore the odd little shadows that appeared in these photos! lol I wanted to give a side by side comparison of an already lovely skin with the addition of some various makeup appliers. Also, check out those eyes! The pretty mesh eyes are a FREE gift available to everyone at Dulce Secrets. I wouldn’t have guessed pink and silvery grey eyes would have been so pretty and passably natural looking. I am however, pleasantly surprised at how unique and pretty these eyes from Dulce Secrets look. You can get these pretty pink peepers for FREE by clicking the gift vendor next to the Midnight Mania board at Dulce Secrets, no group needed.

Next, the deep dark winged liner with the white added to the waterline that speaks to my soul is from Pink Acid. I was so excited when I came across it! I know, I’m a complete nerd and I don’t even care. I’m a sucker for beautifully done heavy winged eyeliner. I think my inability to create this look on myself in real life might make me covet it even more in Second Life! lol This Catwa applier by Pink Acid is available on the Marketplace for just 1 linden. You’ll also find a classic system layer in the package, so a mesh head isn’t a must.

Finally, the purple/mauve lipstick is another applier I picked up for FREE on the Marketplace from a shop called Shiny Stuffs. This FREE wearable demo is also an applier for Catwa heads only. Not only does an applier like this one give you the pop of color, but they often appear to change the shape of your lips, as you can see in the above photo. Ultimately, this fun FREE wearable demo by Shiny Stuffs is a beautiful color, and well worth the effort if you wear a Catwa head.

Here are the details, Enjoy!/

Blue Moon

Hello Fab Free’rs and Happy Hump Day! We are half way through the week and I am very excited to share a few more gifts in honor of Second Life’s 13th birthday! This time the gifts can be found at the round of Kustom 9 that just started. Also, get excited, Lumae has a new group gift out and she’s super pretty!

I can’t believe SL has entered the teen years! Sometimes it seems like it was just yesterday we were all still figuring out this wacky wonderful world. To help celebrate this birthday, several designers have placed out birthday cakes (just like the ones at Hairology) with FREE gifts at Kustom 9. Simply click the cake, and get the gift! This gorgeous long hairstyle by Mithral is one of the many FREE gifts. This mesh style includes a regular version and a “busty” version, as well as an alpha layer.

Also at Kustom 9, in the FREE cake from Eclat is this adorably delicate little necklace. I love how dainty and feminine this simple yet elegant piece of jewelry looks. This lovely gift comes in a gold version (shown) and a silver version; both can be re-sized via touch menu.

How pretty is this FREE skin from Lumae?! The Lumae group is currently 1 linden to join. With that single linden you can get this lovely skin and every applier Lumae makes to match! Not to mention the gift has lots of options in appliers and system layers including cleavage, brow color, and freckles or no freckles. Also, you can still pick up a few of the past group gifts while wearing your Lumae tag! You wont want to miss this one!

Here are the details, Enjoy!

Keeping it Lowkey

Hello Hello Fab Free’rs Thanks for stopping by! Today I have what I think is a super cute look inspired by this gorgeous paisley tunic from Lowkey Shawty I stumbled across on the Marketplace. It also includes today’s Fifty Linden Friday offer from REIGN, so I want to make this post short and sweet. Additionally there’s a new event in Second Life called Addicted to Black. The name of the event makes the theme pretty self explanatory. My goth side is squealing with delight over this event. I stopped by and was happy to find a few FREE gifts, a necklace from Indulge Temptation, and a piercing from CS Tattoo.
I sincerely love this tunic from Lowkey Shawty. Paisleys are a guilty pleasure of mine, and it’s not often you see a good paisley pattern. I love the colors of this top, it’s bright and beautiful without being garish. It’s also long enough that you could wear it without the leggings, and honestly it would be just as cute with shorts or a skirt. The tunic is just 10 lindens on the Marketplace, and you’ll get several mesh sizes.

The shoes, the shoes, I love these platforms too, they kind of make the outfit. These platform sandals are today’s Fifty Linden Friday offer at REIGN. The shoes are just 50 lindens for today only. In the package you’ll get a different fit for Slink, Maitreya, Belleza, and TMP feet, along with a color change hud with 20 color options.

Speaking of gorgeous, my photo really doesn’t do this roped bead necklace from Indulge Temptation justice. These black seed beads have an iridescent quality. The set I am wearing appears to reflect a pretty red hue from the black beads. This FREE gift at Addicted to Black also includes 2 other versions of this necklace, one with a blue hue, and one with a regular white light hue.

Also FREE at the Addicted to Black event is this horseshoe lip piercing from CS Tattoo. Sometimes I really like just a simple piercing rather than some of the more intense ones that are often seen in Second Life. This black metal piercing can be sized via touch menu. I also want to note, that the piercing did not fit my avatar initially. I think it’s intended to be unisex. However, I had no trouble re-positioning it and using the touch menu to size it down a little.

Here are the details, Enjoy!

Free Gifts at The Instruments!

Hello Hello Fab Free! I’ve missed you!! It’s great to be back. On this lovely Friday I have lots of FREE gifts to show you from the current round of The Instruments. The Instruments event is celebrating an anniversary this month, so most of the participating designers have set out FREE gifts to help celebrate.  So of course, there are some that I just had to show you, starting with this dress!

I’m not sure which part of this dress from Two Foxes I like best, the cute little collar and sleeve cuffs, or the mandala-like pattern in the material. This FREE dress comes in several mesh sizes, and includes an alpha layer so anyone can wear it. You can pick up this pretty knee-length fitted dress at the Two Foxes booth at The Instruments. Do not wait too long however, this round ends May 25th.

Also at this anniversary round of The Instruments, this detailed clutch from Yeliz. The clutch is also FREE, and it includes a color change hud that allows you to adjust the color of the purse, and the hardware separately. There are enough color options that this handbag will match almost anything. Lastly, how could you not notice this gorgeous nude lip color from JUMO. As their FREE gift, JUMO set out a pretty set of high-gloss lip colors you’ll love. The colors range from bright reds and pinks to this lovely nude shade shown. This gift includes regular tattoo layers, as well as appliers for Catwa and TMP heads.

That Touch of Pink

Hi Fab Free’rs I hope you had a great weekend and a good start to the week so far. Also to those who’ve celebrated Mother’s Day or are celebrating today, Happy Mother’s Day!! Today I am excited to share this cute almost bubble goth style look with you. You can get this entire outfit including the dress, shoes, ring, and the mani/pedi for just 75 linden. Like always I tell you specifically how, and where in the details below. I hope you enjoy this look. Pink may not always be my go-to color but I definitely love it as an accent color. I personally really love the way this outfit turned out.

Usually I’d start from the top and end with the shoes. Tonight I’m going to start by telling you about these fantastic FREE shoes from Empire. Recently Empire put up 6 lucky boards at their main store. Each board has a specific pair of shoes in a single lucky board only color. That’s right, not only are these shoes FREE, they are in an exclusive color for that shoe style. There is a group tag needed to play these lucky boards, however, it’s a FREE-to-join Empire Updates group. This group is separate from the Empire VIP group that allows you to claim group gifts. The group joiner for the FREE Empire Updates group is located just under the lucky boards. Definitely make sure you’re joining the right group. The shoes Pru is wearing for this look are just 1 of the 6 pairs. Additionally, each pair of shoes comes in several sizes/fits for specific mesh feet. If you ask me they are definitely worth stalking the lucky boards for!

Next,  I picked up this beautiful ring and the simple yet classic manicure/pedicure at SWANK for FREE. The ring is a beautiful statement abalone ring. I have always loved abalone in jewelry. The shell has beautiful swirls of green and blue with hints of pink and violet. I think it’s not only a beautiful piece, but versatile as well. You could wear it with anything and it would look amazing! This particular FREE gift at SWANK is from Vintage Touch. Also at SWANK is this undeniably classic white french tip manicure/pedicure set from Tashi. This gift is FREE as well, and includes appliers for Maitreya, Slink, Belleza, and Omega nails in several “nude” tones. Everyone  should have a simple white french-tip manicure in their inventory.

Now for the dress! This sweet little black dress from Apple May Designs has  a lot of simple charm. The sweetheart cut to the top and the extra wide flare to the skirt gives the dress a doll-like look. One of the best features of the dress is the thin belt. Included with this dress from Apple May Designs is a color-change hud that allows you to choose between several pastel colors for the belt. You can purchase this dress on the Marketplace from Apple May Designs for just 75 lindens as their Buy Now offer.

Here are the details, Enjoy!

Small Town Girl

Hi there Fab Free’rs! It always seems the weekend goes by too fast. Other times I feel like I need a weekend from my weekend! Either way, retail therapy always works for me. Nothing makes me feel good like something new to wear, especially when that something new happens to be free! I spent the afternoon picking up a few more awesome group gifts, and I’m happy I get to share them with you.
First, this halter dress is actually the March group gift at BlackRose. You’ll find it in a box near the BlackRose main entrance. Though it is a “group” gift I did not need to join the group to get the gift. Just click the box and the dress should be delivered. Additionally, there is a second equally cute dress included in the gift. This FREE gift is fully mesh and comes in several sizes. Hurry over to BlackRose and pick up this beautiful FREE dress before it’s no longer available.

These FREE group gift heels from Empire are the perfect match for the dress. These sexy peep-toe shoes are too pretty to pass up. They include a specific fit for Maitreya, TMP, Belleza, and Slink feet, as well as a color change HUD that allows you to change colors of specific parts of the shoes by choosing between 12 colors. The Empire group has a one time join fee 0f 499 lindens. Upon joining you’ll have instant access to previous, and current group gifts, each well worth the group fee.

Last but not at all least is this studded purse from Swallow. The purse is their FREE April group gift available to all group members. This highly detailed purse has re-size scripts, and comes in several color options. The Swallow group carries a one time join fee of just 30 lindens. The purse alone is more than worth the join fee, not to mention there are several past group gifts still available.

Here are the details, Enjoy!

Make Some Waves

The sun, and the warm weather it brings, they are on the way. I can feel it in the air. This gorgeous sparkly top and skirt combination reminds me of something I’d want to wear on vacation some place warm and fun. The outfit is part of the Jack or Jill Hunt prize from BYRNE. The gift includes a pink version as well as this teal version. The fully mesh skirt and top can be worn together as shown or separately. As with all JOJH prizes, this one is FREE, you just have to stop by the BYRNE main location and find it!

Feelin’ fine in my shimmery new outfit, I had to have just the right makeup to match. Stix has this equally pretty eye-shadow gift out at the current round of The Makeover Room. The shadow comes in 3 pretty pastel shades,  a bluish shade (shown), a greenish shade, and a bronze shade. This FREE gift includes appliers in all 3 colors for Catwa, Genesis, Lelutka, and TMP heads, as well as an Omega applier, and system layers. This gift is more than worth a trip to The Makeover Room, and a good reason to go shopping while you’re there!

Be Incredible

Hello Fab Free! I’ve had a busy few days but I’m back and I’m excited to share some great group gifts I stumbled across today. I love it when you can pick up gifts at events, and Cosmopolitan Sales Room always has gifts each round. This round, the gifts were just my taste which doesn’t always happen! In addition to the gifts at Cosmo Sales Room, Entice has recently put out a new group gift and as always it’s beautiful.

This pretty inspirational wall art from Ama is one of the group gifts at Cosmo Sales Room. I love decorating in Second Life, especially when I can pick up well-made beautiful pieces like this one for FREE. The canvas reads “Work Hard, Do Good, Be Incredible” which is sweet and direct, which makes me like it even more. I’ll be leaving this one up at my house for sure. Everyone can benefit from a little inspiration, I know I can!

Also at Cosmo Sales Room as a FREE group gift is this fun quirky necklace from Tantalum. The Ouija board necklace comes in both a female and a male version and can be re-sized by clicking the necklace. Once again, this gift is exactly my taste, a little playful and maybe a little sinister. If you like it too, better hurry, there are just a few days left of this round of Cosmo Sales Room. To get these gifts simply join the FREE Cosmopolitan Sales Room group and click the gift vendors while wearing your tag.

Finally, this saucy low-cut dress is the current group gift at Entice. I like that this dress is simple yet elegant in style, and could be easily dressed up or down, and I think it would even look cute with leggings or pants. Also this FREE group gift comes with a texture change hud. I really like this “Love” pattern, with Valentines Day just around the corner Love is certainly the theme of the moment. I included a copy of the vendor photo for this great dress from Entice below so you can see the additional textures included. To get this dress join the FREE Entice group and pay the vendor 1 linden while wearing your tag. You will then be instantly repaid the 1 linden.

Here are the details, Enjoy!

Stand with Paris

To show support for France and specifically those in Paris who suffered recently many talented designers have been offering gifts. I believe in the power of positive actions, and in the positive energy that occurs when we offer support, compassion, and strength to each other in times of tragedy. These thoughtful gifts are a way we can show our support for those who have suffered and are still suffering. I feel it is a beautiful thing that we can come together and express our compassion for each other even in Second Life.

The above dresses are both FREE group gifts from Entice. The Entice group is currently FREE to join. You’ll find the dresses in the center of the store near the other group gifts. Simply pay the vendor 1 linden while wearing your group tag to get both these mesh dresses. You will be instantly refunded your linden. Also shown above is a pretty headband from ECCO. There’s no need to join any groups for this FREE gift, simply stop by the ECCO main store and pick it up. My personal favorite of the gifts I came across is this detailed Eiffel Tower necklace from Flippant. This gift is also FREE and there’s no need to join a group. The gift can be found just inside the entrance at the Flippant main store. These great heels are yet another FREE gift to show support. They also go perfectly with everything! These FREE shoes by Rosa Gothica Creations are meant for Slink high feet and I found them on the Marketplace.

If dresses and heels aren’t your style but you still want to show your support, these next gifts are the ones for you. This over-sized t-tshirt is very well done and includes a men’s version. The shirts are from Chopard Couture and I found them for FREE on the Marketplace. Lastly, I picked up this cheeky eye-patch at Envious. The eye-patch reads “Stay Strong” and is a FREE group gift. You will need to join the Envious group for this one, however, the group is FREE to join at this time.  I sincerely hope you enjoy these great gifts, a special thanks to the designers for taking a moment to make them available.
