1001 Nights

Mirage Treasure Co. is one of my very favorite stores.  I love all the exotic, Arabian, Moroccan, Eastern Indian, etc. décor.  I love the clothes too, it’s something I used to make a lot of in my shop, Shanti.

In my latest visit to Mirage, I decided to delve a bit into their group and free group gifts.  The group costs 100L to join, but there is an entire underground cave with hidden goodies, both décor and clothing for you to find.  There are also lucky chairs with some absolutely stunning prizes!  That’s what I am showing you today.

The dress I am wearing above (don’t you just *love* those colors!!) is one of the outfits you can get on the group lucky chairs (did I mention they also have outfits for the guys too!), it also comes with a gorgeous head jewel.  It fits:

• Belleza
• Classic
• Maitreya
• Slink

The furniture below is just a handful of gorgeous furniture and items for your home that you can get on the lucky chairs.  The couch and chairs are color change, so they are great to mix and match!  If you are looking for an exotic atmosphere for your home, look no further than Mirage Treasure Co.

So, much of my life I’ve been kind of a hippie girl, ok a very hippie girl, I’m always barefoot, don’t wear much makeup, love long skirts and floppy hats and I am even wearing tie dye as I type this!  (in real life!)  So naturally I was excited to discover that there was a 60’s event going on, and had to check it out!

When you arrive there, you will discover a brightly colored fun themed area.  There are booths and shops of goodies and there is a treasure hunt happening.  There is no group needed, you just walk around and grab up all the free gift boxes (some might ask you for 1L but they give it right back).  A couple of them will ask you a 60’s trivia question to get the prize (those seem to be the ones in the bushes) but it is all good fun!

This event runs until August 15, so you have time to browse, treasure hunt and have lots of fun!

One of the goodies I got from the treasure hunt is this cute outfit from The Vale.  It fits only Maitreya, but I absolutely love the detailing on it.

Cre blogged about this event too and you can see what she found here.

Happy weekend!

Live Your Dream

Hey gang!

Back today to show you this gorgeously adorbs dress from Mangula!  You might have seen this on the blog already because it is a new Fab Free Group Gift!  I fell in love with it when I saw it and I just knew I had to blog it.  Just wear your fab free group tag (the group is free to join, of course!) and scoop this baby up!  I am usually a fan of the bright colors or pastels, but this earth tone just had such a softness to it, I fell in love.  Also, it can be worn with or without the sleeves.

This cute dress fits:

• Curvy
• Freya
• Hourglass
• Maitreya
• Legacy
• Perky

You can see all of our Fab Free group Gifts on the group gift page.  It’s a great place to find awesome freebies!

Get this look for 6L!  Yes You Heard Right!

Extra Goodies in the Photo

The super sweet neon popsicles behind me are from our very own Fab Free Designer, NinaX.  The red and yellow color is free in the Summer Nights Hunt (7.24 to 8.14), but the other colors are also a steal at only 15L each!  I grabbed them all, just cause I couldn’t decide!  Sooo cute!

My little yummy hand held popsicle and my little panda friend (who is sooo much enjoying his slushie!) are both from The Epiphany.  The popsicle is from Broken Arrows for a 50L pull and the Panda is from Stoic for 75L a pull.  Such a fun shoot!  I’ve got a close up below so you can get a better look at things.

Different Drummer

As you might have noticed by now, I am an eclectic, off-center, quirky kinda girl.  The outfits I choose might not be the norm, or rather, the combinations I put together for outfits might not be the norm, but someone has to blog for the outcasts.  Those of us who walk to the beat of our own drummer and don’t fit in with the mainstream.

In Second Life as in real life, I’m kind of a loner.  I’m borderline hermit sometimes!  Only those who take the time to get to know me, get to see the quirky sparkle I keep hidden from most of the world.  I’m quite used to people looking at me like I am something that just dropped in from outer space that they aren’t quite sure if they approve of.  (ok that might be over use of the word “quite”).

I’ve never joined the throngs of people who hang out at clubs, or have big families in sl, I’ve mostly wandered by myself and being the way I am, its been good most of the time.  I’ve had those lonely moments we all get from time to time.

And until I became a part of fab free I’ve never had a group of friends in sl, oh sure I had a couple of short lived friends when I first started (2008!) but that was just for a couple of weeks because I worked as a dancer as a lot of us did when we started (and I was *terrible* at it and hated it!  I’m horrible at being phony) and that’s where I had the friends.

Now with Fab Free, I have a wonderful circle of ladies that I am so proud and honored to call my friends and sisters.  The awesome thing is, we are all sort of quirky and off center in our own ways and so we are all very accepting of one another.  It’s a very happy place for my soul.

I know I went off on a bit of a tangent there, but this outfit was an odd mix and it just got me thinking.  It’s an odd mix but I love the way it fits together.  I’m also a girl who loves hats in both worlds, and I loved these boots.  😉  But I know, shush now Arielle, quit rambling and tell us about the freebies n such!  ok ok!

Now back to our regularly scheduled program!

This cute dress I am sporting is a 1L find for the Around the Grid 9 Hunt created by Pearl’s Treasure Chest or PTC.  This hunt goes from July 13 to September 30 (I’m not ready for fall yet!!).  It fits:

• Freya
• Isis
• Venus
• Ebody Curvy
• Maitreya
• Hourglass
• Physique

My boots are from MOoH! They are a free Third Life Group Gift and that group is 10L to join.  They fit:

• Freya
• Hourglass
• Isis
• Maitreya
• Physique
• Venus

I hope your Monday morning is going as well as can be expected gang!  I’ll be back with more fun freebies very soon!

True Colors

Hey Gang!

I hope you have begun the Fab Free Enchanted Forest Hunt because there are only a few days left!  (Gosh that flew by!  Didn’t it???) I know Aline has been a crazy woman snapping up gifts left and right!  (not that she *isn’t * a crazy woman when she isn’t hunting, but for that matter all us Fab Free gals are a bit off center and crazy in our own way!)  But that’s why you guys love us!  (you do love us, don’t you??)

Anyhoo!  I’ve been grabbing some more goodies from the hunt too and today I’ve got the very elusive free hunt goody from Masoom.  This shirt is all kinds of wonderful happy colors and I love the lace on the sleeves!  It fits:

• Kupra
• Perky
• Maitreya
• Petite
• Legacy

To get it just look for the little Fab Free colored fairy and click her, she will give you her prize as a reward for finding her.

Stay cool gang!  Happy Hunting!

Dance Like No One is Watching

Hey gang!

Our very own Fab Free Designer Seetra Poses has a beautiful set of poses as the free gift for the Orsy Event for July.  They are all lovely classical dance poses, with one more beautiful than the other!  You do have to join the Orsy Group, but that is free to join as well.  It runs until the 23rd of July, so you have about a week and a half to run over and grab these amazing poses (after the event you can get them at the main store for regular price).  These would even make fun fairy or enchanted poses, and at this price (Free!  Can’t get better than that!) they are a must for any photographer or blogger!  😀

Road Trip!

I don’t know about y’all, but I absolutely LOVE a good road trip!  I’ve always wanted to do a road trip with a bunch of girlfriends in a convertible and driving someplace fun like Route 66 or something.  Stopping at different places and experiencing so many little adventures while on one big adventure!  Riding with the top down and the wind in our hair and waving at cute boys in other cars!  Ahh, the bliss of it all!

As for now, I just stand next to my beetle hoping some friends will come by and we can make the dream a reality!  Someone should make a road trip sim.  Where you can get in a car and drive around to all different recreations of real life places, like the worlds biggest ball of twine, and the Grand Canyon.  That would be a hoot!

Well, at least I look cute while I wait.  Of course as a fab free girl, you *know* I didn’t break the bank to look good either!  My cute dress is from Starshine Design, I got this in the Life’s a Beach Hunt for 25L.  It fits:

• Freya
• Isis
• Venus
• Classic
• EBody
• Maitreya
• Hourglass
• Physique

The Life’s a Beach Hunt goes until July 31.

It’s all about the Shoes

My awesomesauce shoes are a free group gift at MOoH! at the moment.  Suuuuper duper cute with a HUD and a bunch of colors to choose from!  Their group is 100L to join but they have a gift card for 150L every month for group members so you get it back right away and then some.  It just keeps on giving!  They fit:

• Belleza
• Classic
• Legacy
• Maitreya
