Garden Essentials

Glitterati‘s July gift is out and the store is generous with gifts. The join fee is 100L but that gives you access to the gorgeous current gift you see in the picture above plus all the past gifts (over 80 dresses) which you can pick up in a box nearby. This dress comes in all the standard sizes plus busty sizes, as well as Maitreya, Belleza, Slink, and fitmesh standards. You’re bound to find your fit. It’s perfect for a summery get away.

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!

Sweet Summer Melody

Hello everyone, and Happy Father’s Day to all of you Dads out there!  I have had a fun and exhausting weekend and I am so sure I will crash uncharacteristically early tonight, but before I do…  I wanted to show off a dress I picked up tonight at The Wash Cart Sale by Catalina Staheli of LaVian & Co.

The Sweet Summer Melody Dress is one of several 10L offerings by Catalina at The Wash Cart Sale and includes a texture change hud with 32 pantone options.  This pretty copper shade even inspired me to go red for a day!  In the bag you will find fitmesh, standard mesh and Belleza, Maitreya and Slink specific sizing.  You can dress this one up as a formal gown, or dress it down with a pair of sandals and some flowy hair for a beachy boho look.

My Ruby Slippers

I stopped for coffee and donuts this morning… as well as the newspaper. Do any of you all still read the paper? It gets that black ink all over your fingers, but its great for setting out on a counter to cool fresh baked goods. Of course this was long before folks used wire rack cooling methods I suppose? Either way, I have more than just baked  goodies for you today, because Glitterati has set out their June Group gift for you and it is cute as pie!

This little dress with its red and gold flowers comes in all the standard mesh sizes as well as fitmesh, Maitreya, Belleza, and Slink fits and is perfect for a casual morning coffee run. I love the embossed details on the sleeves as well. This dress is yours FREE with your group tag. Group membership is a one time fee of 100L, but remember, you will not only be getting this pretty dress… but you’ll also be getting access to many past group gifts (as well as future gifts) as well. The fee quickly pays for itself.

While scanning the marketplace, I happened upon this topaz jewelry set by Beloved Jewelry for only 1 little Linden. You’ll be getting the resizable necklace, a pair of earrings and a ring too (not shown). The set is well made and easily adjustable for a great fit. It matched the color of the flower petals on my dress (and the buckles on my shoes) so nicely that I just couldn’t pass it up!

You’ve already seen a few posts here on the Fab about the Cart Wash Sale. Love showed you a post [here] and I showed you a post [here] and [here]. And I’m sure you’ll be seeing lots more goodies from the Sale here on FabFree!

I stopped by the Cart Wash Sale again today, and this time I picked up a set of pretty red flats to compliment my new dress. These are called Fara by Lindy Modern & Retro shoes… but they certainly remind me of a pretty set of ruby slippers. And personally, I think every gal needs a pair of ruby slippers in her wardrobe! These pretty shoes are only 10L and will fit slink flat feet.

Sweet May

I hope the month of May has been sweet to you. We’ve passed the half-way mark now! It’s hard to believe we’ll be moving into the hotter summer months soon. But I think I’m ready with this pretty sun dress from that is the May group gift from Glitterati.

I love the classic waist styling and floral hem of this dress, as well as the scalloped neckline which are perfect for spring’s last fling and even for moving into hotter summer months. It comes in all the standard mesh sizes.

I was delighted to discover that NSP Florals has out a May gift that seemed to perfectly match my new dress. This little rose hair piece I picked up is beautifully detailed, and while I paired it with a sundress, I can see it working perfectly with a wedding dress in June. If you’re good at editing, you could attach this to the chest or spine and make it into a corsage instead. I can just imagine so many possibilities for this lovely rose beauty! Best yet, it comes with a color change hud that allow you to change the color of the roses to a variety of sumptuous colors! As of the time of this posting the NSP Floral Group is FREE to join, making this group gift FREE. However, group membership is usually 75L. I’m not sure how much longer the group fee will be set at 0L, so you should hurry if you want to get this lovely item as a FREE gift.

A Soft Serve of January Indigo

The latest group gift at Glitterati for January is a lovely little black dress with a twist! It has detailing around the neckline, cuffs, and hem with buttons too that all have a retro feel with their yellow and white swirly-style pattern! It comes in all the standard sizes as well as fitmesh, Belleza fit, and Maitreya fit… so you’re sure to find YOUR fit!

This cute little retro-feel number is yours FREE with your group tag and the group is only 100L for membership. There are LOTS of past group gifts to pick up that are just as nice, so it’s well worth the small fee to join this group!

My fabulous hairdo is called Indigo and is an offer for Alice Project VIP members. The price to join the VIP group is 750L, but it gains you access to a huge number of gifts and goodies and special offers. (Such as this hair I’m wearing today). If you hurry down to Alice Project today, you can pick up this particular hair as part of the Winter Project.

Don’t fret though, if the price tag is too steep. As Love showed you in her post HERE, there is a gift each day until February 14th for non-members too and those are totally FREE! So either way, everyone wins!

I’m including a picture of the hair/color options from the vendor advertisement below just as Love did, to give you a quick reminder of what you get FREE and what you get with the group membership. Remember, if you miss a day, don’t fret! You can pick up the missed days for just 50L!

Have a Holiday Ball!

I stopped by the North Pole to see Santa but Rudolf left me holding the Ball! It was well worth it though, as I have some tips for you on great gifties!

My fun festive gown is the holiday gift at Glitteri by Sapphire! It is FREE with your group tag and the group is only 100L to join. The gown includes both system layers as well as all the important body appliers such as Belleza, Maitreya, Omega, Slink, and TMP, and even a pair of cute feather and bell earrings! The fee is well worth it, as there are lots of past group gifts to pick up, and the gifts are plentiful and frequent!

My fun hair is today’s FREE advent gift if you make your way to the Kittycats advent calendar. Maybe Rudolf will give you a sleigh ride that direction? Maybe! It is courtesy of Analog Dog Hair and called Sardine. It comes with detachable bangs and in blondes, reds, and browns (all with tintable huds so you can get it just about any color you want!).

My super cute pose is also an advent giftie! If you sleigh ride you way over to Eternal Dream Poses, my pose (with the adorable red holiday ball too!) is yours for just 10L or FREE if you are a member of the Eternal Dream Poses group. The group is 200L to join but there will be 24 advent gifts total, with other group gifts throughout the year later of course!

Well I’m off to decorate! And maybe warm up. My nose is nearly as red as Rudolf’s from this cold. I think hot cocoa is in order!😀

Glitterati Garden

It’s Friday and I’m so glad the weekend is here! I’ve been away due to Real Life getting in the way, demanding thing that it is, and I feel like I was gone a month. It is nice to be back, consequently I’ve got a lot of great things I want to share with you. There are lots of great group gifts out this month, this elegant black gown is the August group gift from Glitterati. The gown from Glitterati comes in standard mesh sizes with a matching alpha layer. One thing I noticed right away is the way the gown’s texture seems to change color depending on the lighting, which I think adds a touch of whimsy to this pretty gown. The Glitterati group does have a one time join fee of 100 lindens. This gown alone is worth the join fee in my opinion, get it while you still can! One of the great things about a solid black gown is you can add pops of color with your accessories. I love the style of this earring and necklace jewelry set from Indulge Temptation. The FREE set is called “Arabesque” and has a lovely filigree look to the metal parts, complimented by bright teal drops. The “Arabesque” set is the August group gift at Indulge Temptation. Included is a hud so you can re-size the jewelry to suit your avatar. There is a one time join fee of 50 lindens for the Indulge Temptation group, however I think the jewelry set is more than worth the fee.

Now that we have the gown, and the jewelry, here’s something lovely to go underneath. One more awesome August group gift, This lingerie set is from Maniac Store.

There are several FREE group gifts out right now at Maniac Store. This black lace lingerie set is just one of them. The set is really pretty on, and comes with tons of appliers as well as system layers. The list of appliers includes TMP, Banned, Maitreya, Lolas Tango, Lolas Muse, *Linc, Lush, Lena, Perfect Bum, Brazillia Doll, and Slink. Needless to say there are lots of options for wearing this sexy August gift. The Maniac Store does have a one time fee of 10 lindens, however as I mentioned before there are several gifts out as well as lucky chairs. Lastly, like the 3 poses in the above photo? These too are an August gift, this time from Elephante. You’ll find these fun static poses in the Elephante subscribo for FREE!
