Do I look mean in this picture? I swear I’m a nice person, my avatar just likes to make mean faces sometimes. She probably broke those windows when I wasn’t looking too. What a rebel. But she sure dresses cute!
Ricielli Rocks My World
There are bunches of promos on the marketplace from Ricielli. For real, so many. I saw a couple of things for 1L, and lots of others for a bit more but still deeply discounted. The top that I’m wearing includes two colors and is 10L. It comes in 5 standard sizes from L to XXS and I had no problem fitting it without even needing any alpha cuts. It also shows off some killer side boob. My hot boots were a bargain at only 15L.
Boots Sizes Included:
Freya
Hourglass
Isis
Maitreya
Physique
Can’t Forget The Hair
This hair is the newest group gift from Clawtooth. You just need to join the group for free and go to Clawtooth to pick up this super cute long bob in the Essentials color pack.

Phew! I decided to start my holiday shopping early… as in before waiting until Christmas Eve like I usually do. It was cold out so I bundled up and headed out with my purse in hand to check out the local shops. Always shop local I say! I love the deals you can get at the Mom & Pop stores. You just can’t beat hometown pride. I took a moment to rest on a park bench though because I’m looking for the perfect gift for a special friend and I just haven’t found it yet…
Shopping in Style
You can shop in style too! I picked up my coat dress with its matching handbag for free as part of the POE hunt from Glitterati. The dress has a classic look with a great nubbly texture that is very realistic. You’ll get classic mesh sizes XS – L with an alpha layer if you need it. I’m wearing the Maitreya body and had no problem fitting it with a medium and using my alpha system to cover up anything I needed to. It’s stylish and I love the embossed tan leather handbag that you get with it! All for free!
Keeping my Legs Warm
I needed something to keep my legs warm in cold air while I was shopping, so I checked the marketplace and found these beige leggings by Mette’s. They matched perfectly, came in appliers for Maitreya and Omega, and were only 25L! Now that’s a deal! It will leave me plenty of leftover spending money to buy a gift for my special friend.
Well, break’s over! Back to shopping! Have a great day FabFree Readers!

I like to have a cup of coffee in the morning, but in the afternoons I’m generally a tea drinker. I especially like a hot tea with milk. It’s a habit I picked up after a visit to London many years ago, and I never gave it up. I found the perfect little spot for tea at an art sim and stopped to take a picture. I think I found the perfect “tea dress” to sit down for that perfect cup!
Flowing flowers
Glitterati by Sapphire puts out a monthly gift like clockwork to make their one-time 100L group join fee worth it. This month you get the pretty flowered frock I’m showing off in the picture. It’s perfect for the last few warm days before we head into the cool days of fall. It comes in all your favorite sizes.
Available sizes:
Standard XS – L
Fitmesh
Maitreya – Lara
Slink – Hourglass & Physique
Circular
Sometimes things come full circle and as I was looking for a little something to add to my outfit, I found these cute suspended circle earrings at Baubles! by Phe to add to my look. They are the currently offered as a free SL Frees & Offers group gift at the store, just don that tag and pick them up. They come with a color change hud as well that offers 4 metal choices (brass, gold, silver, and bronze).

Summer is perfect for picnics and bbq’s and I have the perfect summertime picnic outfit for you!
That dress!
You’ll love this picnic perfect dress by Glitterati! I picked it up as the July Group Gift. As always, this creator has generously put out a beautiful monthly group gift. The group join is 100L, but you’ll be able to look forward to a gift every month, plus all the past gifts are still available (and if you’re new to the group, you’ll be unpacking boxes for ages!), so it’s definitely worth it to join this group and pick up this pretty summery dress with its vintage print.
Sizes available:
Standard mesh sizes XS – XL
TMP
Ocasin
Ebody
Maitreya – Lara
Tonic – Fine & Curvy
Slink – Hourglass & Physique
Belleza – Freya, Isis, & Venus
Paired up.
I matched my new dress with a new pair of shoes, courtesy of Lindy Modern & Retro Shoes. These summery flats with the ribbon up the ankle come in sizes to fit Maitreya and Slink (both Hourglass & Physique) feet and are a great addition to any wardrobe for only 1L and a little hunting time. They are part of the Home and Garden Hunt.
While I was at the Lindy Modern & Retro main-store I noticed that there were a lot of hunts going on. I picked up quite a few pairs of shoes for just 1L each. Now is a great time to visit the store and see what you can find!
… bring flowers! Even if it’s not yet May. 🙂 I picked up the March Group gift from Glitterati which was recently set out for us to enjoy and just fell in love! This pretty flower dress in a tunic style with side-slit sleeves is simply beautiful! You’ll get standard mesh sizes XS – XL plus a quality alpha layer and a system layer thong in black silk and lace (though I just donned a pair of my Maitreya panties).
The group fee for Glitterati is 100L, but there are many past group gifts still available for you to pick up, making it well worth joining and nabbing your tag to pick up this gift (and the past gifts too). Don’t miss out!
A perfect match!
The Springtacious Cart Wash Sale is still going strong, and I found the perfect shoes to match my dress at the Battle Fairy Cart! These Dahlia Heels in butterscotch have beautiful details of flowers on them and for just 10L you get shoes to fit Slink, Maitreya, and Belleza in one box! These shoes come in 8 colors, all for just 10L each. As pretty as they are, you will probably want to pick up more than one pair.

As we head into the last week of March, the weather in my part of the world is beginning to show signs that spring has finally arrived. We decided to take a walk (without the dogs in tow, they had their walk earlier today) to look at some of our newest additions to our ever growing menagerie of animals. While it is still cool outside, the sun is warm enough for us to shed our jackets and toss them over our shoulders…
The newest group gift at ::K:: is the Justin Accent Jean Jacket for both him and her. Either sex can choose to wear either the pink or the grayish blue jacket as a nice accessory piece. I am also wearing a gift from The Menstuff Lounge. Black Label Menswear has made a gift of the Worn Denim All Star Sneakers. The gifts at The Menstuff Lounge are free but to join the group it will cost a one time fee of $50L.
Oh look, the lambs are kissing…. 🙂

Glitterati is celebrating its 8th anniversary, and as a gift to loyal group members, Sapphire Teebrook has set out a special 8th Anniversary gown as a group gift. As a group member, I picked up the group gift (there are lots of past group gifts still out) and donned it before setting out to do a little exploring.
The gown was an easy fit, coming in a variety of sizes that will fit just about any body, including:
Standard sizes XS – SL
Fitmesh
Maitreya
TMP
Slink – Hourglass and Physique
Belleza – Freya, Isis, and Venus
A Jaunt by the Water.
Most of the trees have lost their leaves where I live, and I was enchanted when I stumbled across this little sim called “Yasmina.” I stopped by a stone gazebo where I had a perfect view of small fishing boats and the autumn trees and was able to catch a picture with a tree that happened to match my dress. As a child, I used to fish in boats on family ponds, very similar to the boats you see in this picture, so the little stop at this sim was a pleasant one for me.
A few final touches.
I always appreciate a few final touches, and though this dress doesn’t need much to dress it up, I thought that a few little things added some class to it.
I picked up a FREE tester lipstick off of the Marketplace by alaskametro in a warm brown color called Cashew. Free testers are a great way to add to your make up palate without breaking your budget, and if you like the results, you can always buy the full version (in fact, I recommend you do, as it’s a great way to support the creator). This tester included a system layer for system heads, as well as huds for Lelutka, Loudmouth, Omega, TMP, and Slink.
And bracelets too.
I also nabbed a pair of matching wooden wrist cuffs. One of my favorite jewelry stores is no longer on the grid, but you can still pick up items off Marketplace from ECCO jewelry. I happened to find that ECCO had a promo for these beautiful wooden wrist cuffs on the Marketplace for just 10L and I couldn’t resist. I felt they suited my autumnal mood… and were a nice finishing touch to a beautiful morning.
Happy travels to you all. Be sure to stop by Yasmina. It’s a beautiful sim for visiting or photography!

Sapphire Teebrook was away for a while due to real life illness and so the Glitterati August and September group gifts were late in coming. To thank everyone for their patience and the many well wishes she got, there are now five new gifts out at the Glitterati main-store. Three of these gifts are free to all, no group required. Two are group tag required (the August and September group gifts).
The group is 100L to join but there are about 80 past group gifts to pick up, several of which have been blogged before [HERE] and [HERE] for example.
In the picture above, Astrid is wearing two of the free to all gifts — the Julia dress in abstract with the Joyce heels. You don’t need a group to pick these up, just buy them for 0L. The dress comes in all the standard sizes as well as fitmesh for Maitreya and Belleza. I’m not sure how long they will be out, so be sure to hurry over and pick them up.

Have you stopped by the Hair Fair yet? Vendors are donating a portion of the profits to a good cause – Wigs for Kids – so its a good reason to spend some linden PLUS! many of the booths are giving beautiful gifts… like this gorgeous pony tail from Besom. This lovely mesh hair comes in essential colors and complimented my summery style rather nicely and was FREE no group required. Just stop by the booth and pick it up!
I decided I wanted some jewelry to add to my look, and found some pretty FREE items at Candy Crunchers that I really love. This is the Carissa Septum piercing and the Drop necklace. Either/or are yours FREE if you slap their respective Midnight Mania boards and they lockdown. Both boards lock down at just 50 slaps so get there early. There was also a board for some pretty rings too!
