Fab Free Designer of the Week – KaraBaby

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 free KaraBaby 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!

Old Crows

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.

• Dress Sizes Included: Standard Mesh (xs – XL), Maitreya Lara, Slink (Hourglass, Physique), Belleza (Isis, Freya, Venus), eBody, Tonic (Curvy, Fine)

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.

Fab Free Designer of the Week – Paper.Sparrow

Hello Fab Free! Thanks for being here. I’m excited to have a new “Designer of the Week” post happening. I know it’s been too long. That said, this post is all about a shop called Paper.Sparrow. The Paper.Sparrow shop is a women’s clothing boutique with what I would call a grown-up-cute style to the clothing. Most of the clothing is feminine casual daywear in pretty colors or patterns. There are some shoes and dresses as well, all with a touch of sweetness and sass.

Right now there are 3 lucky letter boards at Paper.Sparrow, and 6 Paper.Sparrow group gifts. The Paper.Sparrow group has a one time join fee of 100 linden. The July group gift is a 150 linden gift card to Paper.Sparrow however, which more than makes up for the join fee. You’ll find the generous July gift waiting on the desk just inside the front entrance. With your group membership you’ll not only have access to the lucky boards, and the group gifts, you’ll get 10% store credit when you shop at Paper.Sparrow while wearing your Paper.Sparrow group tag.

In addition to the store lucky boards, and group gifts, there are 2 more group gifts for other store associated groups. One gift is for the Fashionable group, which has a 5 linden join fee. The other gift is exclusively for Fabulously Free in SL group members. The cute heart flats are free when you wear your Fab Free group tag and click the gift vendor. If you’re not already a Fab Free group member, the group is free to join. All the gifts, and the lucky boards are right inside the entrance to Paper.Sparrow. Happy Shopping Fab Free!

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:

Hair – TRUTH / HoneyAna – Past VIP Gift *Originally Shown Here

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.

Here are the details:

Hair – Lamb. Lovesong – Fatpack – Free Group Gift/Group is Free to Join *Originally Shown Here

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.

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!

Curious

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.

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!
