I Dream of Bora Bora

Hi Fab Free! Thank you as always for being here. I’m so excited to share the most recent group gifts at Beautiful Dirty Rich with you. I think it’s been fairly obvious that I’ve been dreaming about a visit to the beach for a while now. This warm weather dress with the bright colors and tropical print screams seaside, sunshine, and fun times.

Not only is the dress gorgeous, it comes with a cool hud that lets you change colors and textures for the skirt and top, there are so many options. It also allows you to custom tint the colors, and you can choose to hide or show the top and skirt. Why would you want to do that you ask? The gift includes a matching thong/swimsuit bottom that when worn with the skirt hidden makes a super cute bikini. Last but not least there is also a cute as heck pair of wedge sandals to complete the look which I did not get a photo of. Right now the BDR group is free to join, and there are quite a few gifts available. I’ll include the ad for this gift and the matching shoes below.

Dress Sizes Included: Slink (Hourglass, Physique), Maitreya Lara, Belleza (Isis, Freya, Venus)

Here are the details:

Music Raised Me

Hey There Fab Free’rs! As always, welcome back to the blog. Today I’ve got a few free group gifts to share with you that I know you’ll love. First, Petite Mort and Oubliette both have some super cute floral chucks as current group gifts. Second, Kibitz has a cool set of “barbed wire” bangles as their Access event group gift. Keep reading for all the info on these great gifts.

Anyone who says you can have too many shoes in Second Life is delusional if you ask me. Lately I’ve been really into stylish casual shoes. These floral chucks by Petite Mort definitely fit that description. They are a free group gift for all “Petite Mort & Oubliette VIP Group” members. The group also happens to free to join. The best part, Oubliette also has a cute pair of skully floral chucks as a group gift that you can pick up for free with the same group tag. I’ll include a photo of those below. These shoes come in sizes for Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink feet.

Next up, Kibitz has a set of “barbed wire” bangles for free at the Access event. I say “barbed wire” in quotations because they are a lot more elegant looking than could be expected. The metal has an almost brushed look, which in my opinion make them look more like jewelry and a little less sinister. These bracelets are free to all Access event group members, and the group is free to join. Included with the gift is a color change hud that lets you pick from 4 preset metallic colors.

Room With a View

Hello again Fab Free’rs! No matter who you are, we all need a little happiness to start out the week. I got mine from Sn@tch, and I’m here to tell you how to get your happy freebies too. The top, bikini bottom, hair, and earrings Pru is wearing are all part of the “Fish 4 This” outfit available at Sn@tch. Like almost all the Sn@tch Fish 4 This offers, this one is a complete head-to-to look. I’ll add a copy of the vendor photo so you can get a look at all the items. First, I wanna give a little info about 7Seas Fishing and how to do it, just incase anyone needs a reminder or is new to 7Seas Fishing.

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!

The “Ocean View” Fish 4This Outfit

This complete outfit including hair, jewelry, tops, pants, shoes, and bikini bottom can be fished for free with your casual fishing rod at Sn@tch.

The top and panties come in black, blue, white (shown), pink, aqua, violet, and beige.

Fab Free Designer of the Week – Now and WooW

Hey There Fab  Free! It’s time for another edition of Fab Free Designer of the Week. This edition is all about a shop called “Now and WooW.” This little shop is a ladies fashion boutique that carries both mesh and applier clothing as well as shoes. At Now and WooW you’ll find mostly what I would consider club-wear. However there are shoes (as I mentioned before), some casual streetwear looks, a little bit of lingerie, and even a few hairstyles. It is definitely a little bit of everything, so there’s bound to be something for almost everyone. Sorry guys!

As you enter the Now and WooW shop you’ll see the information desk right away. In this area you can join the in-world group, which is free to join. There’s even a cool studded pair of free group gift high heeled shoes waiting for you next to the desk. Also on the wall next to the desk are the posters for the store associated groups and events. In this area of the Now and WooW store is where you can pick up your free Fabulously Free in SL group gift. You’ll need to wear your Fab Free group tag. If you’re not already a Fab Free group member, have no fear, the Fab Free group is free to join also. Happy Shopping Fab Free!

Hi hi Fab Free’rs! I’ve been fishing! Of course I mean 7Seas Fishing at Sn@tch. Their current “Fish 4 This” outfit was just too cute to pass up. Not to mention the fact that you can score a full head to toe look with different color choices for several of the pieces. Also, there are options that make this look suitable for Classic avatars. The following blurb is a quick “how-to” for those new to 7Seas Fishing. I’ve posted it before, but figured I’d post it again just incase someone needed the information. If you’ve already figured the fishing thing out, just skip that part.

There are 21 total pieces, including the top with bra in an Omega applier, and system layers, 6 mesh skirts, the black tights in Omega appliers, mesh boots (alpha layer and shoe base fished separately), jewelry, and the hairstyle shown in 3 colors.

Lemon Verbina

Meow Meow Hi Fab Free! Haha I hope you’re enjoying the weekend. I have to say mine is going pretty well so far. Have you been by the Pose Fair yet?! I feel like I’ve been talking about it a ton, but with good reason. I am not exaggerating when I say there are so many free gifts at the Pose Fair. I also want to point out that while I may not be blogging them, there are quite a few male pose freebies and couples poses. So there’s my bit about the Pose Fair for today. I am of course showing another of the gifts from the event, this time from WetCat. Also, I picked up the current Fabulously Free in SL group gift at Sexy Princess. Lastly, as always tattoos are irresistible, and Letis Tattoo has a cute 10 linden tattoo out that I just had to share.

The Cushion – The cute little yellow cushion that Pru is so delicately perched upon is the free Pose Fair group gift by WetCat. This simple floor pillow comes equipped with 2 static female sit poses, and 2 static male sits. You’ll need to join the Pose Fair group and wear the tag before clicking the giftbox at the WetCat booth. The Pose Fair group is free to join.

The Boots – Have you seen the Fabulously Free in SL group  gift listing recently? It’s looking pretty good. The gifts do change periodically, so if you haven’t checked them out recently, you should definitely take a look. I picked up these high heeled ankle boots for free at Sexy Princess while wearing my Fab Free group tag. The Fab Free group is always free to join. These cute boots come in sizes to fit Maitreya, Slink, and Belleza feet.

The Tattoo – Finally, the dainty floral linework tattoo on Pru’s upper arm is a 10 linden group only purchase available at Letis Tattoo. You will need to join the Letis Tattoo group to purchase this inexpensive find, however the group is free to join. As much as I do like to be heavily inked, sometimes I enjoy these beautiful more subtle tattoos just as much as a full body one. This 10 linden tattoo comes in several appliers, each with a range of intensity. Also, this tattoo comes in classic system tattoo layers for non mesh avatars!

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

Pleasure comes in all disguises

Hi there. I was just admiring my new shoes. Aren’t they great? I’ve got some other things to tell you about too. Two of them are free with no group join or anything required, and the last is a free gift for a free group!

The pose sets the mood

Poses are too often overlooked and always very important. I’ll stay off of my soap box for now, but it’s a sentiment that I’ve expressed before and I think it’s extra true in this case. The [west end] mainstore has moved, so to celebrate there is a free pack of poses out in the new store. They’re all cool, movement filled poses like this one. It includes 6 poses – 3 separate poses and their mirrors and will only be out for a very limited time.

But the shoes matter too

These shoes are a free gift at Ricielli at the Cosmopolitan location and they can be yours just for showing up. There is a gift bag at the store up on a shelf. Click the bag, buy it for 0L, and watch the magic happen…the magic being free shoes with no strings attached. They come in sizes for:

• Freya
• Hourglass
• Isis
• Maitreya
• Physique

Okay, the whole mess is important

Obviously, the undies I’m wearing are important too for modesty reasons…if I can even use the word modesty in a description of this particular picture. I got the ones that I’m wearing here from Elegance Boutique. They come with a color HUD so you can make them match pretty much anything that your heart desires, along with a few pattern options if you’re feeling sassy. To get them, I just joined the free Elegance Boutique group and than click on the vendor at the Cosmopolitan location to get my free gift. In addition to the HUD, it includes the panties sized for:

• Belleza Freya, Isis & Venus
• Miatreya
• Slink Hourglass & Physique

Anywhere But Here

Hello Fab Free’rs! I’ve packed up all I own, and I’ve got my camera. I’m ready for a long vacation, where are we going? I’d love nothing more than to be able to pack up and go on some long adventure. For now I’ll be satisfied doing my adventuring, and most of my shopping, right here in Second Life. I put together most of this look using current or previous group gifts. As always I’ll let you know all the information about how to get each one, just keep reading!

The Hair – The cute little bob hairstyle Pru is sporting is a still available May group gift at Besom. I checked there today, just to be sure. I love the slightly tousled look of this perfect-for-summer hairstyle. The Besom group is 199 linden to join, and there is more than one group gift currently available.

The Dress – This dress from Prey has the look of a structured well tailored leather dress, and the fringe just adds to the effect. It is the sort of dress you could dress up, but there’s no dressing this one down! It also happens to be the free July group gift at Prey. Love told me about it and I’m super pleased she did. The Prey group is free to join, and they also have a male gift available.
Mesh Sizes Included: Slink Hourglass, Maitreya Lara, Belleza (Venus, Isis)

The Shoes – Pure Poison recently put out this beautiful pair of black heels out as a free group gift. These shoes are absolutely gorgeous on. The Pure Poison group is free to join, so no reason to miss out on these beauties.
