Hot in the City

Summer time in the city calls for cool outfits, and cool attitudes.  With summer heat warnings in effect in my part of the world, all I can do is stare gratefully at my air conditioner.  SL-me is being more adventurous and heading out into the city, ready to cause a ruckus and look cool while she’s at it!

Smug Mug

I’m sending you all over the place today to get some fun group gifts to put together a cute outfit that’s right for turning heads on the hot tarmac.  Your first stop is Mug where their latest group gift is a fun little tube top.  It comes with several different texture options that you can access from the HUD, and as with all Mug offerings the sizing options are accessed through the HUD as well.  To get this cute top (and the other group gifts) just join the Mug group for 250L.

Sizes

• Maitreya
• V-Tech
• Sking (Katena)
• Freya
• Legacy

Sneaky!

Quinnty’s has a new group gift out too, and it’s these colourful sneakers. They  have a wide range of different texture options as well, ranging from 80’s fabulous to patriotic.  To get them, join the Quinnty’s group for 50L and then pay the vendor 1L which will then be returned to you.  There are lots of fun group gifts to be had at this stop, so make sure you pick them all up!  The shoes come sized for Belleza, eBody, Legacy, Maitreya, Signature, Slink and Tonic.

Nailed It!

This month’s group gift from Rosary is something a little different – mesh nails!  They come in three length options from short to extra-long.  I went for the middle length option, but as you can see they’re still pretty long!  They come with an HUD to change the colour and work with Belleza, Maitreya, Legacy and Slink hands!  The Rosary group is currently 350L to join, and you’ll find older group gifts available to pick up here as well.

While you’re at it, if you’re a Maitreya body user you should pick up a redelivery (you can get that through the Maitreya HUD) as the body has recently been updated to version 5.2!

Stay cool Fab Fam!

Inner Flamingo

I am acting out my inner-flamingo here. Basking in the sun, getting my feet wet and posing in this lovey summer oasis… in all seriousness, though, I am just loving how my green, watercolour, leaf-patterned outfit looks against the backdrop of this cool green pool and leaf fans.

Don’t Forget about the Stay at Home Club

With everything going on, between SL17B and all the wonderful pride gifts and events in June and July, I’ve neglected the Stay at Home Club in the last few weeks! There are still so many amazing gifts to get from this amazing event, and as some of us may be still staying at home, I decided to feature one of their new gifts!

Stylish Stacy

This cute shorts and top set is the latest stay at home gift at Freda. The outfit includes a hud which allows you to change the top and shorts separately to different colours and patterns. Freda makes her textures using her real life art. In this case, this is a real  painting that’s been transferred into a texture in SL and applied to a mesh outfit. How cool is that?! I love the watercolour textures in the top and skirt. It’s beautiful!

Sizes included:

• Belleza (Freya, Isis & Venus)
• Maitreya
• Slink (Physique & Hourglass)
• Legacy
• Tonic (Curvy & Fine)

Thanks for reading, Fab Free!

Summer Sun

Yellow, it’s a vibe for me this summer. I just want to be warm, happy, and someplace sunny! I hope everyone is having a good week so far. I know I cannot complain, especially not when I have the awesome Fab Free community to be part of. Truly, I am thankful. For this look I picked up both the top, and the pants for free. Keep reading and I’ll tell you all the what, where, and how.

Aquara 

I was honestly surprised at how much I like this free top only because until now Aquara is not a brand I was familiar with and I wasn’t sure what to expect. It’s super cute on, and the textures are really nice. This halter top is a free group gift, and the group is free to join at this time. It comes with a color/texture hud that has 8 choices. It also has a separate hud for tinting the top any color you want. There are a few things I wanted to note about the packaging and the hud. First, the package says “Maitreya” on it, but don’t worry there are more sizes. Second, the color/texture hud when first attached will show you the Aquara Marketplace page. I was confused at first! lol There’s a tab on the side however that when clicked will take you to the color/texture choices.

Sizes Included: Maitreya Lara, Belleza (Isis, Freya, Venus)

Aurora’s Closet 

These capri style jeans with rainbow pockets are the free Stay at Home Club gift at Aurora’s Closet. I wanted something new and cute to go with my halter top, and these capris fit the bill. These free denim pants come in black and in blue for extra versatility. Overall I was pretty pleased with these. They are a great addition to my closet and you can’t beat the price!

Sizes Included: Maitreya Lara, TMP, Tonic (Curvy, Fine), Slink (Physique, Hourglass), EBody (Classic, Curvy), Belleza (Isis, Freya, Venus)

The Maple Leaf Forever

Happy Canada Day Fab Fam!  I’m all about the Red, White and Red today, happy to celebrate this awesome land!  As is my tradition, I always throw a bunch of  Canadian stereotypes your way on July 1st, so hold on to your beavertails, because it’s going to be an h-e-double-hockey-stick of a ride, eh!

Sorry!

For our maple-syrup guzzling contest (which of course is tradition on Canada Day), as well as for our moose-wrangling competition, you’ll need the perfect Canadian shirt!  Over at The Annex, they’ve got you covered with a free group gift!  On joining their free group, you gain access to this cute and clearly Canadian top which was made especially for chasing raccoons away from your poutine!  If you’re looking for some American-style celebratory gear, they’ve got a bunch for the 4th as well.

Sizes

• Freya
• Hourglass
• Maitreya

We the North

This little Canadian headband is courtesy of Sugarplum Boutique!  They’re getting you ready for all the festivities (which of course are socially distanced this year), with excellent Maple Leaves to catch any lumberjack, Mountie or sexy Prime Minister’s attention.  They only cost 10L on Marketplace!  So cool!

Well my friends, I hope that this little foray into Canadian craziness has amused you all!  To all my fellow Canucks out there, Happy Canada Day and may the butter tarts be ever in your favour!

Hey Fab Free! How are you all doing this week? I have more great freebies to share with you from SL17B and a free group gift, which make up this lovely pink and rose-patterned outfit I have on right now. There’s something about this floral, rose-coloured look that feels so positive and beautiful.

Imperfection is Key

In the 90’s, it was always super important to me that my hair was absolutely flat and straight.  No “pouffiness” here, thank you very much!  As time went on, I learned to embrace a bit of the wild curl and the untamed mane.  Though my hair today can hardly be considered untamed, I know that back in the day the little flip up would have driven me mad.  Nowadays, I like a bit of madness and imperfection!

Sweet Bonbons

There’s a new group gift over at Bonbon!  This cute hairdo is free for members of the Bonbon group.  To get in on this flipped ends goodness, just join for 99L.  There are a bunch of fun gifts on the wall there, making the fee quite worth it.  With this style, the option to remove the bangs as well as one errant strand is up to you.  This look comes in a full fatpack of colours as well!  Cute!

Pass the Salt

Salt & Pepper have also updated their gift for the SLFO group.  This little top comes in 12 different satiny shades which you can dress up or down to your heart’s content!  The SLFO group is free to join, making this little top completely free!

Sizes

• Freya
• Maitreya

Imperfection is key, I always say!

Alleycat Ballet

Alright so I’m gonna call this look a little bit Flash Dance, and a little bit Cats. haha I actually had a lot of fun dressing up and taking photos in this, especially since the outfit is completely free. I picked up the top, bottom, and adorable socks for free at Voluptas Virtualis. As soon as I put the outfit on I felt nostalgic for those iconic ’80s and ’90s dance movies. Maybe it’s time for a movie marathon? haha

This awesome gift from Voluptas Virtualis is free for everyone. The matching “Hadi” top and bottom come in female sizes only, however the fuzzy socks come sized for male avatars as well as female. Both gifts are packaged together. Just click the vendor near the landing point and the gift will be sent to you. The “Hadi” set has a color/texture change hud with some fun tiger stripe options and solid colors. You can also hide/show the trim or color it separately. The socks have a color/texture change hud with lots of options. Also, if kitty feet aren’t your thing, fear not, there are solid color choices as well as stripes. I have no idea how long this gift will be available, so don’t wait!

P.S. There are also several other freebies in the same spot at Voluptas Virtualis, no group needed!

Outfit Sizes Included: Maitreya Lara, Belleza Freya, Legacy Female
Sock Sizes Included: Maitreya Lara, Slink (Hourglass, Male), Belleza (Freya, Jake), Legacy (Female, Male)

ROY G. BIV

Pride celebrations continue across the grid, and my collection of rainbows is growing by the day!  I’m enjoying draping myself in ROY G. BIV (please don’t make me explain that one…) and it’s giving my mood a much-needed boost!

Love is Love

Jackalope are having a little free mini hunt over at their store, and it’s filled to the brim with absolutely free clothing, accessories, poses and even a backdrop.  No need to join a group to get these goodies, just search the store for the little hidden rainbows.  Pay 0L for each one, and inside you’ll find something to boost your mood too!  I’m showing you the top, skirt, boots, belly chain and backdrop, but there is a lot more to be had.  I’ve included the vendor pic below so you can see what’s on offer!

• Freya
• Hourglass

Happy hunting!  You’ve got until July 5th!
