Eat the Darn Cake

Sometimes you just need to let go and eat the cake. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it. Definitely not afraid of a little indulgence, I happily gave in to my sweet-tooth and picked up this delicious looking cake at Cinoe. Secondly, while this sweater isn’t the same sort of indulgence, it feels like a splurge of the same kind of self gratification. It’s a recent group gift at Sentinus. I’ll let you know how to get your hands on both of these fabulous group gifts for free below.

Cinoe

This lovely little three-tier chocolate cake with fruit topping is a free group gift at Cinoe. The Cinoe group is free to join, and you can pick this sweet freebie up in the group notices or at the Cinoe main location. The cake is a decor/display item. It does not include any poses or animations. If you head to Cinoe and click the gift vendor while wearing your Cinoe group tag, you’ll get a folder with this chocolate cake gift and several other previous group gifts for free.

Sentinus

I’ll admit for a split second I thought to myself “Do I really need another sweater?” when I saw this free group gift at Sentinus, and I quickly put that thought out of my mind. No one needs that sort of negative self-talk. Of course I need another sweater, especially one as cute as this one! I really do like the fit of this sweater, and it has a ton of color/texture options making it a must-have. The Sentinus group is free to join also, so honestly, why not add another sweater to your wardrobe?!

Sizes Included: Belleza (Freya, Isis, Venus), Slink (Hourglass, Physique), TMP, Maitreya Lara, Standard Mesh (xxs – L)

A Bit of Space

Time to get outside for some fresh air, FabFree!  I think I definitely need a bit of open space, some movement and to feel the wind on my face.  I’ve been spending far too much time cramped indoors in a mostly uncomfortable chair staring at a screen, so a bit of movement is on the menu today!

I Ador-sy It!

Adorsy are celebrating their move to a new sim with a new group gift!  This cute tunic and leggings can be customized with so many different colours that you’ll be playing around for ages.  You also have the option of removing the leggings, so you can turn this into a cute and slouchy dress to give you a nonchalant sexy look.  To get yours, join the Adorsy group for 30L, pay the vendor 1L (it will be returned to you immediately) and voilà!  All yours.

Sizes

• Maitreya
• Maitreya Petite
• Legacy

You may also find some items on sale in the shop while you’re there, but word on the street is that today is the last day for the discounts!

Off I go!

The High Priestess

Oh hello there, and thank you as always for being here. I think it goes without saying that I’m feeling a bit devilish in my new dress from Shy Doll. The best part, it didn’t cost me a thing. For this post I’m excited to be sharing with you a limited time group gift at Shy Doll.

The Shy Doll group is free to join, and from now until Saturday January 23rd you can get a free 500 linden gift card with your group tag. If you ask me that’s one h-e-double hockey-sticks of a deal. Have fun, and happy shopping!

Technicolor Rainbow

As much as I love winter, I have to admit this outfit has me daydreaming about warmer weather. Hello Fab Free’rs, I’m glad you’re here. For this post I’m really excited about the new group gift at MicRo, and Demicorn has out a group gift that I don’t know how I missed and can’t wait to share with you. Keep reading for all the whosits and whatsits and where and how.

MicRo

I really like this pleated skirt by MicRo a lot, mostly because it’s not a skirt but rather a skort. What’s a skort you ask? Skirt + short = skort. That’s right, there are mini-shorts under this mini-skirt. This free group gift has a color change hud with 4 solid color choices to pick from. Also, the MicRo store group is free to join.

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

Demicorn

I love a good lippie, in any life, and especially Second Life. This pretty matte lip color is part of a group gift applier set at Demicorn. The “Sugarplum” set has a range of lip colors in berry reds and blue-violets. The Demicorn group has a join fee of 100 linden, and there are quite a few group gifts available.

Appliers Included: Catwa, Genus

A Day in the Life

This little wood nymph is exploring the woods in search of a bit of mischief.   I think that sneaking through the woods, perching on branches and foraging for magical berries might be just what is on the menu tonight!

SLF

I have no idea what SLF stands for.  I’ve been looking and looking for info, but to no avail.  Someone out there must have some sort of info for me, but I digress.  This pretty dress (the rainbow highlights are sooooo nice) comes to you from Antaya and it’s an SLF Gift!  It’s just 25 Lindens on Kaleidoscope Island.  You’ll find several other really affordably priced gifts there too, but I really can’t figure out what SLF stands for.  I’m sure the minute someone tells me, I’ll be exceedingly embarrassed!

Update: FabFree reader Aimé did some sleuthing and told me it stands for SL Free, a group on VK!

See you wood nymphs later!

Every Day’s Clutter

There’s nothing I like better than random, pretty clutter.  I love piles of cute things to look at, and I love rearranging them on furniture until I can see it all and it tumbles at me gracefully.  I had so much fun putting this scene together that I quite lost track of time today!

Classy and Sassy

The January group gift has made its appearance at Sass, and it’s super cute.  It’s this grey and yellow babydoll dress that strikes a nice balance between cute but still utterly wearable in grey and yellow.  It’s a little breath of spring in the midst of winter for me, so I highly appreciate it.  You can grab this lovely dress by joining the Sass group for 10L and then paying the vendor 1L which will then be returned to you.  You may also want to grab the Teleport Hub version of the dress too while you’re there, that group is just 10L to join as well, so do check it out.

• Freya
• Legacy

I Heart It!

When Astralia announced their latest group gift was a super cute desk and chair set, I knew I had to have it.  It’s adorable and girly in all the right ways.  The desk is heart-shaped, and it comes with a matching chair that kinda has me feeling a bit “Alice in the court of the Queen of Hearts”.  Just a vibe I’m getting!  Grab your own by joining the Astralia group for 149L, then you can dress up your desk area too!

Now, where did my fries go?

Candy Crush

Hey ho fab freers!

Have I ever told you how much I adore candy? The chocolates, the colors, the flavors, the bliss! Why, I am just *mad* for candy! Absolutely in love with it!  One might go so far as to say that I have a candy crush!!

I’m also a fiend for the color pink and unicorns. While I have always loved unicorns (and horses), I used to avoid the color pink like the plague. Nowadays it is my power color, so do forgive me if some of my posts seem rather, well… pink!

Today I have for you a very cute pink dress by Art & Fashion Creations that I am wearing in front of the candy stand and enjoying some wonderful cotton candy. Mmmmm. It is a happy moment.  This dress was a free gift from Art & Fashion Creations, for being a part of the MLM Free&Offers group, which is free to join.

The dress comes in these sizes:

• Hourglass
• Maitreya
• Physique
• TMP

A note of interest, Art & Fashion Creations creates all their clothing based on actual works of art, so every one is unique.

Until next time dear readers, enjoy the candy but watch out for that sugar rush!

A Trip to Ontiville

Well, my dear readers – time for something a little different today!  Have you ever thought that you’d like to have a little spot to live in SL, but you’re not exactly flush or in the position to spend Lindens?  There are people who totally understand and have created an awesome experience and sim that can get you just that…without the cash!

Ontiville!

I was IMed the other day by the lovely Elba while I was doing my rounds and she told me all about the new sim her and her partner have been working on.  It’s called Ontiville, and it’s goal is to create a community where you can be provided with free rent and goods for those who aren’t in the position to spend Lindens.  How does that work, you ask?  Well, it means that you can get a virtual job in their city, complete quests, or afk in a coin hotspot to earn city coin.  You can even explore the sim to find some hidden coins!  Sounds like a lot of fun to me, and could be an excellent experience for those who are looking for ways to spend their time in SL.  Elba also mentioned that the first week of rental is a free trial – which is pretty darn cool.   Do check out Ontiville, and see what they’ve got going on.  I was accosted by some friendly residents while I was there and got a very nice feel from the place.  If you’re looking for more info, you can check out their website HERE

Oh, and a Freebie

I also thought I’d mention that the Lucky Boards at Tentacio have been changed out, and four new ones with cute accessories are there just waiting for the taking.  No need to join a group, these boards are free for everyone!  I got this pile of magical books and beakers while I was there which fit in perfectly with the little book shop behind me.  Good luck!

See you in Ontiville!

Rock Around the Clock Tonight!

As the saying goes, everything old is new again.  Just look at me, I am ready to go to the sock hop with this cute ’50s style poodle skirt for free on the marketplace from Norma Underwood.  The skirt itself is unrigged, so you can position the skirt to fit your avatar better.  It also comes with a BOM layer that can be used for an underskirt.  The skirt was originally designed for classic avatars, but with a little adjusting, it can work on mesh bodies as well.

I needed the perfect vintage sweater to finish off the look, so dug through my inventory and put on the Ellen Sweater from Quinnty’s Aline first blogged about in this post. The cute, argyle pattern really made the outfit complete.

Hunting Through Alleyways

Time to do some alleyway fashion posing.  This seems to be a thing that happens a lot in SL.  You know, nip down an alleyway and be super fashion about the whole thing.   I will pose in an alleyway if I must, but only if I get some dumplings after.  Promise?  Ok!

Whose Bags?

I’m heading back to The Free Dove today, purveyors of all things free and fantastic.  They’re upping the ante this month by bringing back their monthly hunts!  It’s been a few years, so it’s super exciting that this tradition is back in full force.  Looks like each month there will be a new designer featured, and to kick things off it’s MYBAGS.  The way it works is that you join the free Free Dove group, then search The Free Dove for 5 little gift boxes.   Each one contains one of the bags you see in the vendor ad below.  If you want the other 5, just head on over to MYBAGS and search for 5 boxes there!  That’s 10 fun gifts all for free.   I’m super excited!  I picked up the #1 bag, and to be honest I’m not sure if I grabbed it at The Free Dove or MYBAGS, but that’s all part of the fun.

And More!

While I was at The Free Dove, I also picked up these fun sparkly pants by Wellmade and the matching shoes (sized for Belleza, Maitreya and Slink feet).  You always know you’ll end up with a great outfit for free when you visit.  Again, just join the free group and the giant amount of gifts are yours for the taking!
