The Valkyrie

 

Hello hello Fab Free’rs! I had so much fun with this look, and it’s almost entirely gachas and group gifts. Sometimes my favorite part of Second Life really is just playing dress-up. I think Pru looks like a fearsome angelic warrior or a Valkyrie from Norse mythology. For details about each of the freebies and cheapies that make up this look just keep reading!

The Wings – These steampunk inspired wings by Rezology can be found on the Marketplace for just 1 linden. They are modifiable so they can be resized, recolored, and even moved around so the gears and such show on the outside of the wings rather than the inside.

The Tattoo – This group gift tattoo by This is Wrong is unisex. It is a fully body tattoo of intricate geometric lines. It reminds me a lot of art deco style line work. The gift includes several appliers for both male and female mesh bodies, and there are 3 color options. The This is Wrong group is just 50 linden to join.
Appliers Included: Female – Belleza/Maitreya, TMP, Slink / Male – Signature Gianni, Belleza Jake, TMP, Slink

The Bodysuit – This gorgeous detailed bodysuit is from the Bath’kol gacha set at Sweet Thing. It is the Rare item in the set. It includes a color change hud with preset options for different sections of the bodysuit. The Bath’kol gacha is 75 linden per play and can be found at the Sweet Thing store.

The Pose – The Pose Fair is in full swing and there are tons of free gifts. Special thanks to one of our readers Azure for mentioning the virtual truckload of freebies at this event! This particular pose is the free Pose Fair gift by posEd. It comes in a pose stand as well as just the pose alone. To get your copy of this dynamic pose, head over to the Pose Fair, and be sure to join the free group before clicking the gift box at the posEd booth.

Before I Had My Coffee

Oh Hello There Fab Free’rs! I hope you’ve all survived the holidays so far. I for one do not want to see let alone eat another slice of pie for a very long time. Otherwise I’m doing pretty well. I picked up gifts by Vinyl from two different events that really go well together. I also picked up a pretty new group gift skin at PumeC. All in all, not a bad way to start the weekend!

The Shirt – This tied graphic tee is one of the free gifts I picked up by Vinyl. This gift is available for free at the Shop & Hop event. No group is needed. The top reads “Dear Santa I’m Sorry For What I Said Before I Had Coffee.” Well I do not mind admitting that there are definitely moments when I should make such an apology myself, and not just to Santa! The top comes in several mesh sizes, and is just too cute to pass up.
Sizes Included: Maitreya Lara, Slink (Physique, Hourglass), Belleza (Isis, Freya, Venus)

The Shoes – I think these crochet red chucks by Vinyl are adorable. They are a free gift available to everyone who visits the Vinyl booth at Uber. No group is needed for this gift, simply click the sign that says “XMas Gift” and the chucks will be sent to you. The shoes come in a few sizes and are every bit as cute on as they look in the photo.
Sizes Included: Belleza, Maitreya, Slink

The Skin – The Skin Pru is wearing is a free group gift at PumeC. Not only does it come with a Genus head applier, but a full fat-pack of skin tones with appliers are included as well as a set of base skins. The PumeC group has a one time join fee of 399 linden to join, and there are quite a few past group gifts still available. Also, there’s a second December group gift skin available, and a promise of a possible third December gift still to come!
Appliers Included: Body Appliers – Belleza, Maitreya, Slink, Omega /  Head Applier – Genus

Fab Free Designer of the Week 12/07/2018 – KingbalStores

Hey There Fab Free’rs! It’s time for another Fab Free Designer of the Week post. I’m happy to say we’ve added a few new designers to our roster, which is of course Fantastc! This post is all about KingbalStores. At this clothing shop you’ll find mesh and applier clothing for both male and female avatars. You read that right, this one has something for the guys too! There is a wide range of casual and semi formal clothing to be found, though I’d say most of the clothing available leans toward casual every-day styles.

At the center of the KingbalStores shop is the “circulation” desk, as I like to call them. This is where you will find all the store information and info about things like events. Additionally there is a slew of store group and associated group gifts. This is also where you’ll find the free Fabulously Free in SL group gift by KingbalStores. It’s a little blue polka-dot bikini for everyone experiencing warm weather rather than cold at the moment! If you’re not already a Fab Free group member, the group is free to join. Also there is a December Advent gift calendar up at KingbalStores that is free for everyone to participate. Just click the box with the number for the date and you’ll be sent a free gift.  Finally you’ll notice several holiday themed outfits and clothing items around the Advent calendar. Each of these fun festive items appear to be priced between 75 and 100 lindens. Happy Shopping Fab Free!

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!

Here are the details, enjoy!

A Quiet Evening Alone

Hi hi Fab Free! I hope you are all doing well. Thanks for being here! Today I have some fun freebies from the Black Friday Bazaar to share with you. The Black Friday Bazaar has more free gifts than I care to count. It was fun to wander through and see all the sales and exclusives as I picked up the free gift from each of the vendors. To get the gifts, you’ll need to wear the Evil Bunny Hunts group tag. This group is free to join. For this post I want to show you the Black Friday Bazaar gifts from Get Frocked, and V-Twins. I also picked up the Fabulously Free in SL group gift by West End.

The Sweater – This cute black sweater is the free BFB gift by Get Frocked. When I saw the text on the front of the sweater I knew I had to share it with you. It reads “Friday My second favorite F word.” I got a little giggle out of that. You wanna know what my first favorite F word is? Fabulous! Also, this sweater by Frocked has a pretty plunging back line. Don’t forget to wear your Evil Bunny Hunt group tag, and click the gift bag at the Get Frocked booth to pick up your copy of this fun sweater.
Sizes Included : Maitreya Lara, Slink (Physique, Hourglass), Belleza (Isis, Freya), Tonic (Curvy, Fine)

The Leggings – These striped leggings are the free current Fabulously Free in SL group gift by West End. They are a Maitreya applier only gift. These cute leggings come in 5 color choices. To get yours be sure to wear your Fab Free group tag and head over to West End. Also, if you’re not already a Fab Free group member, the group is free to join.

The Boots – These stiletto ankle boots are the free BFB gift by V-Twins. They come in several sizes and include a color change hud that lets you choose from either black (shown) or brown. The boots have a high shine which is why they look a bit silvery when Second Life graphics are turned up high.
Sizes Included: Slink (Physique, Hourglass), Belleza (Isis, Freya, Venus), Maitreya Lara

If I Cannot Fly Let Me Sing

Hello Fab Free’rs! If you haven’t been to the current round of the Redeux Event, you need to go. This round will end in a few days and there are tons of free gifts. Each of the participating designers has a free gift set out. You’ll find clothing, and decor, and everything in between! All you need to do is join the free-to-join Redeux VIP group. Once you’re wearing your Redeux tag, you can click the gift bags at each booth and your free gift will be sent to you. So of course I picked a few I really liked to show you. It was actually really hard to pick just these four items, there are so many awesome gifts. I hope you like them as much as I do!

The Horns – Of course I picked horns as one of the free Redeux gifts to share with you! These pretty horns with the little flowers are by Evil in the Box. They come in 5 color variations and can be resized.

The Choker – This beaded choker with a cross charm by Vibes is beautifully detailed. It is their free gift at Redeux. The choker has resize scripts for easy fitting, and comes with a color change hud that lets you change various parts of the choker using several preset color choices.

The Dress – I know you can’t see the full dress in the photo, but this pretty teal gown by Faida is floor-length. I thought the yellow gold embellishment on the front made it look a bit regal. The dress is Faida’s free gift at Redeux. It comes in a single mesh size.

The Tattoos – Finally, the beautiful tattoos on Pru’s arms are the free Redeux gift from Iron & Rose.  They come in 3 variations, fresh, faded, and worn. Each one is a separate Omega Applier.

My Milkshake Brings All the Boys to the Yard

Hello again Fab Free! So maybe my milkshake isn’t bringing boys to the yard, but it should bring you guys to Limit8! This strawberry milkshake, among quite a few other things, is a free Limit8 group gift in celebration of the current Birthday round of Limit8. Most if not all of the participating designers have set out a free gift. All you need to do to get yours is head over to Limit8, join the in-world group (It’s free to join) and click the little brown paper wrapped presents at each booth while wearing the Limit8 group tag. I spotted everything from poses and props, to clothing and jewelry. There are even some housewares.  I picked out a few of these awesome free gifts to share with you. Also, thanks to Love’s much needed and appreciated help, you’ll get to see one or two of the gifts in action. I hope you love them!

Eyes – So after I took the above photo, I realized you really can’t see these gorgeous eyes by NamiiChu. They are part of a set of mesh eyes available for free at Limit8. The set includes 4 pairs of individual eyes so you can mix and match them. These pupil-less eyes have an otherworldly look to them that I think is really beautiful. To get yours, join the free Limit8 group and click the gift box at the NamiChu booth at the Limit8 event.

Face Moles – The second above photo shows these cute face moles by Arise a bit better as well. This variation is one of 6 included in the Catwa hud. I think they are not only super cute, but a great way to customize your favorite skin a bit further. You can get this Catwa applier hud by Arise for free at Limit8. Once again, don’t forget that Limit8 group tag!

Strawberry Milkshake – Alright, so I’m a sweet-a-holic, and strawberry is hands down my favorite milkshake flavor. So Pru taking home this free Limit8 group gift milkshake by PewPew! was simply meant to be.  This detailed strawberry milkshake by PewPew! comes equipped with a bento hold pose, which you’ll see in action in the video below.

Booty Dance – Finally, I could not resist showing you this free Limit8 group gift booty dance by Sync’D Motion. Thankfully, Love was willing to help me out by putting together this awesomely hilarious video. The dance is too fun, and well all things considered the song went perfectly! I do want to note that because Pru is holding the milkshake by PewPew! while dancing some of the hand animations that are part of the dance are not shown.

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!

Daydreaming of Lisa Frank

Hello hello Fab Free! Summer in the southern part of the U.S. (and just about everywhere else from what I understand) has become synonymous with blazing heat. It’s hot out ya’ll! It’s easier to stay cool when you can lounge in the shade wearing a cute little summer dress and open-toe shoes. Both these summer wardrobe essentials are free group gifts you won’t want to miss.

The Dress – Hilly Haalan has more than one free group gift available. The dress Pru has on is the “Debbie” dress. It comes in several sizes, and includes a texture change hud with quite a few graphic tee style options and an equal number of solid colors to choose from. The Hilly Haalan group is also free to join at this time. This fun yellow version with the leopard spots made me instantly think of Lisa Frank. Don’t know who Lisa Frank is? Google her. You’re welcome in advance for all the colorful rainbow goodness. P.S. There’s a copy of the original vendor ad for the Debbie dress toward the bottom of the post.
Sizes Included: Maitreya Lara, Slink (Physique, Hourglass), Belleza (Freya, Isis, Venus)

The Shoes – These fierce looking purple shoes from Heels are almost as hot as the weather! I kind of want to wear them with everything. The Heels by Morgan W. group is free to join at the moment. These shoe come in the deep purple color shown with a few size options.
Sizes Included: Belleza, Maitreya, Slink
