The First Twinge

Sure, it’s still summer.  I know that.  It’s hot out, the sun is shining like mad, and I can hear people splashing in the nearby pool outside my window.  But….there’s something there.  Something in the air that makes me kind of feel the first twinges of fall.  I may be crazy, but there’s *something* that changes every August.  Like the sound of a Blue Jay calling, or a few crazy trees that decide to start turning colour exceedingly early… and all that back to school talk in the stores.  The feeling is subtle, but it got me thinking about fall.  I’m not ready for it quite yet – really, I’m not, but I found a dress that may just get me in the mood…

Crisp and Starry

I went over to Ersch and found that they have this amazing dress out as a group gift.  It’s right up my alley in dark Lolita style, peppered with constellations.  I love it.  It also comes with sleeves you can wear for more dark moodiness!  I joined their group for 75L to pick this one up – though there are a few other gifts you can grab while there as well.  The dress is a Maitreya Lara exclusive fit, but you never know – give it a try, it may fit you!

I think I need to get back in a bikini though, before summer fleets away!

Cupcakes are Dope

Hello hello Fab Free’rs! I can almost feel the summer coming to an end, there are still a few good beach days left though. Personally I can’t think of a better way to spend the afternoon than listening to the waves roll in and indulging in something sweet. For my beach moment I picked up this mermaid cupcake at Boutique 187, and the swimwear at Beautiful Hustler. Both items are current group gifts. I hope you like them as much as I do!

The Cupcake – The clearly mermaid inspired cupcake Pru is holding is a recent group gift at Boutique 187.  It is super adorable all by its self, however, it also has a hold pose. This way you can carry it around and show off this delicious looking cupcake. The Boutique 187 group has a one time join fee of 187 linden.

The Swimsuit – If I were to only be able to wear one type of swimsuit for the rest of my life, the tankini would be my personal choice. It’s equal parts cute and comfortable. This tankini from Beautiful Hustler is their free August group gift. I love the bright tie dye colors for summer. It also reads “Dope” across the front of the tankini top for some extra sass. Also, the top is tied in the back, which gives it some extra detail. The Beautiful Hustler group is free to join at this time.

You’re a Gem!

One of the best things about Second Life is the fact that there are so many awesome places for you to take selfies.  And if you can’t find an awesome place, you make an awesome place.  That’s what I managed to do today with a few free gifts and a bit of creativity!

The Outfit

Before I get to my glittering surroundings, let me tell you about this cute outfit I grabbed over at the Vanity Event for free!  Scandalize is always generous with their gifts, and now that they’re running the Vanity Event, they haven’t slowed down one bit.  If you join the free group there, you will find this lovely little top and bottom combo in a truly appealing mint hue.  You can wear the top, bottom and sleeves all separately and there are two different options in the folder:  glitter (which of course I chose) and plain.  I love it!

Sizes

• Freya
• Hourglass
• Isis
• Maitreya

The Gems

You can totally selfie it up with these giant gems from Melt!  I grabbed them for free over at The Gacha Life.  I joined their free group and clicked on all the little gift bags at the event, and lo and behold, one of them contained a whole bunch of pretty, colourful and glowing massive gems!  You can decorate your little world to your heart’s content.  Whee!

Shine on, my darlings!

One in a Melon

Isn’t watermelon awesome?  It’s not just refreshing and delicious, nor is it just a nostalgic fruit of your childhood… it’s also pretty and oh so in this season!  You know, I never thought I’d get the chance to write the sentence “nostalgic fruit of your childhood”.  Some girls really do have all the luck!

Make a Splash

As I was hopping about the grid, I noticed that NyDesign has a new group gift out!  It’s this oh so cute bathing suit and cover up combo that comes with several different options on the HUD:  you’ve got five different fruity looks to choose from (lemons and strawberries, here you come!), and you can also decide whether you want the cover up to be fruity or the bathing suit….or both!  I can’t contain my excitement…it’s all too much awesome!  Best of all, the NyDesign group is completely free to join, making this great beach look completely FREE!

Anyone want to spit some seeds with me? I said WITH ME, not AT ME!! Yeesh!

Fantasy Getaway

Well hey there Fab Free!  After a long toil on a very delayed plane, I’m back to reality!  It seems I can only take reality in small doses though, so I jumped on to SL to forget about the rain falling outside by finding my way to a sunny beach!

Shine On

The perfect dress for my fantasy tropical getaway was the July Group Gift over at Sass!  It’s a fun little strapless baby doll dress in a punchy hue to banish all thoughts of clouds and realities of any kind!  I grabbed it by joining the group for 50 Lindens (totally worth it as there are loads of other gifts to grab there too).  Pay the vendor 1L, and it will be returned to you.  Yay for happy dresses!

Well Heeled

My super cute summery heels are this month’s group gift at Mosquito’s Way.  The group is free to join – and the shoes are super high quality so it’s quite the treat!  Aren’t the little starfish beads cute?  I wish I had these shoes in RL!  The Anya heels are sized for Belleza, Maitreya and Slink.  Go grab ’em!

I’ll just sit here for a while and soak it all in… you go do your thing!

A Beachy Afternoon Lost in Thought

Happy Wednesday, Hump Day, or however you wish it to be known as FabFree!!

I hope everyone is having a great start to the week! Today, seemed to have dragged on for me, but it’s almost over! I told myself I wasn’t going to do anymore Women’s Only Hunt, but I figure, what the heck, one more won’t hurt right? Right. Ersch, has an adorable little dress, for their free prize. Bummer is, that it is for Maitreya only, but it comes with five different patterns. The patterns included in the hunt gift at Ersch are Pink Flamingos, Blue Fish, Mint Seashells and Starfish in peach and violet. This mini Vacation dress is is accented with ruffles and hangs off the shoulder in a super cute and sassy way. Some panties may need to be had, because it puts mini to the test, but when it’s cute, it worth the “pain.”

I Come From the Water

Hello Fab Free’rs, Happy Sunday-fun-day! I hope everyone has been having a good weekend. Mine has been great so far. Today I am so excited to tell you about the free August Subscriber gift from BYRNE. This gorgeous peacock feather print summer dress is this month’s free gift, and I can’t say enough nice things about it. The skirt is sheer from the upper thigh down, and has a hi-lo type look. I’m sure there’s a name for this type of skirt, but I am not up on my fashion terms. Maybe that’s a sign I need to have some intellectual curiosity here!

So of course I wore this dress to the beach, the colors and the feathered pattern gave me some tropical summer feels. This peacock dress from BYRNE was sent out a few days ago to all Subscriber members. If you missed it just head over to BYRNE and click the subscriber. You might have to rejoin. Subscribers can be tricky sometimes, like anything in Second Life! ha The dress comes in several sizes and includes a head scarf not shown in the photo.

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

Here are the details, enjoy!

Head Wreath – *LODE* Head Accessory – Gladiolus [pink]

Fab Free Designer of the Week – 08/04/2018 – Baci

Sweet merciful everything it’s the weekend! What a week! I’m happy you’re here Fab Free’rs, and clearly happy for the weekend. This week I get to share with you Baci. This sweet shop reminds me of those swanky boudoir boutique style shops. It is a ladies clothing store where you’ll find lots of feminine sexy dresses and lacy underthings. Baci is a small enough shop that it’s quite easy to navigate, but large enough that there’s plenty to look at. There are also quite a few dollarbies and gifts to be had, which of course we love!

Just as you enter Baci, you’ll see a couple of dollarbies to the right, along with two group gifts. These gifts, such as the exclusive Fabulously Free in SL group gift, require a specific group tag. The dollarbies are just 1 linden each, no group needed. I even picked up the dollarbie Omega applier tan lines myself!  Also, you may recall the cute little Fab Free group gift dress by Baci from Nevi’s post “Dreaming of Yesterday.” To the left, there’s another dollarbie (it appears to be a rez day gift) that is also available to everyone.

If you follow the walkway to the right and go all the way, you’ll find the wall of Baci store group gifts. There are several dresses, and some pretty lingerie gifts. The Baci store group is just 1 linden to join at this time. You can get a quick glance at these gifts in the lower right photo above. Finally, there are several Baci group-only Lucky Letter boards directly across from the Baci store group gifts. My apologies, I didn’t get a photo of the Lucky Letter boards. Happy Shopping Fab Free! I hope you enjoy the rest of the weekend.
