Staycation, All I Ever Wanted

You know that feeling of wanting to get away somewhere, but you can’t really?  You’re stuck at home looking out the windows wishing for some glorious beach vacation that involves swaying palm trees and someone to serve you drinks in coconuts.  It’s kinda one of those summers for me, where I’m not quite ready to hop on a plane (aka, brave the giant lines of people who insist on breathing close to you… ha), so I’m trying to think of ways to shake up the monotony.   My inworld counterpart seems to have it all down pat – so maybe I’ll take some cues from her!

Decor Fabulosity

Raindale has always been one of my absolutely favourite stops for decor inworld.  There’s always something new, different and distinctive.  I was so excited when Keira joined us for FabFree at Fifteen, and her items really blew me out of the water.  To make my little staycation bubble, I bought the lovely Sunnybay Pool for just 75L (the water in it is soooo beautiful) and lit my area with the very festive Lagunadream lamps that are just 15L for both the pink and green lamps.  Then, come the extremely generous free gifts!  The wallpapered spot, map, pineapple sconce, table, stool (complete with poses), and suitcase are all free for members of the Fabulously Free in SL inworld group – and they really, really are gorgeous.  Stop by Raindale and grab these lovely gifts before they all go away on August 6th.   Thanks Raindale!

Two More…

I need a cute outfit for my staycation, and happily two spots have obliged to put one together for me:  Masoom has a new group gift out, this cute little tennis-style skirt in the very appealing summery ombré shade (it also comes in pink and teal).  You’ll remember a few weeks back they had a top as a group gift that matches perfectly (see it HERE).  The group is currently 200L to join, but you’ll find a wall full of really awesome gifts.

Skirt Sizes

• Kupra
• Maitreya
• Petite
• Legacy
• Legacy Perky
• Reborn

I also stopped by Paper Antler (formerly…and possibly also still known as Grixdale) and picked up this cute top (it’s part of a bikini set) for free.  No need to join a group here, just click on the item that says “free” on it.  You’ll want to look around the store while you’re here – there are all sorts of hidden freebies (you could call them wearable demos if you want to be specific).

To the Rescue

Space Babe time!  I don’t actually know what that means, but my glowing floating keyboard denotes that I’m the one who does mystical computery things and gets stuff done.  You know, the cool girl in the van hacking into whatever room the others are about the repel from the ceiling into.  Get it girl!

Catsuits Make Me Purr

This awesome catsuit is an excellent addition to my wardrobe.  I sometimes feel a bit spacey-utilitarian, or perhaps like I suddenly need to jump on a motorcycle.  Or even just be in a music video.  Whatever your need, you can make it happen for free at Grixdale.  If you look at their Saturday Sale display (behind the main counter) you’ll find this wearable demo for free right in the middle, just buy for 0L!  Don’t know how much longer it will be there, so get it while it’s hot!

What You Got To Lose?

Hi FabFree! Just popping in to show off a couple of things that you can get, completely for free. 🙂

To Wear

My sexy dress is Ariana and it’s this past weekend’s Saturday Sale offering from Grixdale. But wait, it gets better! In true Grixdale fashion, one color of the dress is free for the taking. No group needed, no hoops to jump through (although that would be kind of fun), just click and it’s yours! The free color is this great red to black gradient in sizes for:

• Ebody
• Kupra
• Kups (B)
• Lara
• Lara Petite
• Legacy
• Perky

To Stand

I ended up at another new-to-me store recently called OG. There’s some fun stuff there worth checking out, not to mention a wall of free group gifts and the group is free to join. There’s a good variety from poses to shapes to tattoos. Today I’m showing off one of the poses. Definitely worth a visit, it my humble opinion.

And there you have it, a whole lot of goodness for no L!

Just Chill

Happy Sunday, Fabbies!  I’m feeling a bit quiet, a bit chill today.  It could be that Sunday feeling (you know the one where you know you have to go back to work tomorrow).  So, I’ll keep it simple.  Let’s get cute, comfy, and of course… let’s get freebies.

Kick It

Over at Grixdale, you’ll find that their Saturday Sale item is still out for sale – it’s this scrunched down bodysuit, which is really cool and different.  However, if you look very closely, you’ll find that one of the items is completely free for everyone.  They often do this at Grixdale, sneaking a free item into their displays!  I also picked up the Nina top for free while I was there, and thought they looked pretty cute together.  Take a peek at each item at the store, you never know what you will find for free!

Sizes

• Ebody
• Kupra
• Maitreya
• Legacy
• Maitreya Petite
• Legacy Perky
• Kupra Kups

Have fun finding the free stuffs!

A Marshmallow World

It’s a marshmallow world in the winter!  And I insist on dressing for the weather, as you can see.  Time to build a snowman in a sexy outfit, because it’s Second Life, and that’s how we roll!

Well Suited

This quite interesting bodysuit and sweatshirt combo are a new free gift over at Grixdale. To get it, you need only click on the vendor, no group join required.  I quite like the urban look to it, giving me the chance to switch it up my look today.  It’s only out until the beginning of January, so don’t wait too long to grab it!

Sizes

• Perky
• eBody
• Kupra
• Maitreya

Snow Unicorn!

The unicorn snowman you see behind me is the latest group gift from Astralia.  Isn’t she adorable?  I love the pink lights and (of course) the unicorn horn.  To get it, just join the Astralia group for 149L and click on the vendor in the gift area.

Making it Shine

Some of the things I love the most are sparkly – there’s something ever so wonderful about glitter and shine.  Other times, all I want is a bit of rugged with straps and buckles.  Today’s mood comes to you courtesy of not being able to make up my mind: Straps? Buckles? Purple? Shine? Ahhhh… why not have it all?

Uber Good

Grixdale have put out another free wearable demo of their latest release over at this month’s round of Uber.  The Calliope dress comes sized for Maitreya bodies and is in this lovely purple hue with the darker geometric triangles that give it a bit of a shiny texture.  No need to join a group here, just click on the free demo and it’s yours!  This round of Uber is running until January 22nd!

Sparkle, sparkle!

New Wave

There’s something I love about the brightness and madness of 80’s fashion.  There was hot pink, lurid yellow, and flying geometric shapes everywhere.  There may be a time when I no longer like the madcap insanity of it all, but that is not this day.  Time to put on some New Order and dance with a vacant expression on my face!

First Things First

There are two free things in this fun outfit that made me want to listen to New Wave  music and eat pop rocks (I have no idea what the pop rocks have to do with anything, but let’s just go with it).  I’ll start with this hot pink and quite unique top by Enigma Apparel.  I picked it up for free over at The Beauty Sales Event.   There really are several nice gifts at this event, so it’s definitely worth a trip.  No need to join a group, just click on the gifts at each stall.   You’ve got until December 11th to pick them up!

Sizes

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

Second Things Second

To match the hot pink mood, I totally needed a nice bright skirt.  Luckily for me, Grixdale are up to their old tricks over at this month’s round of Uber.  You’ll find this free wearable demo which is sized for Maitreya and TMP completely free, isn’t that nice?

Turn up the music!

Something Kinda Magical

What’s your favourite beach memory?  Mine involves a pod of dolphins, an ancient wall and panzerotti.   A random mix of items, I’m sure you’ll agree, but those three elements put together turned a normal beach day into something kind of magical.  I won’t tell the story here, because I’m sure it will come out sounding deathly boring, so I’ll just leave the details t o your imagination.

This Summer

My beach story today is the fact that I found you some freebies to get you ready for an evening on the sand with a fire pit and possibly some marshmallows.  I’m sending you to two different locations to pick up this cute outfit!  The red top and shorts are courtesy of Grixdale.  You’ll be able to grab this two piece (sized for Maitreya) for free over at Uber, no group join required.  Just search out the Grixdale booth, and you’ll see it!  Since it gets a bit chilly in the evenings, you’ll need a little cover-up to go with, and this sweatshirt from COCO fits the bill.  It’s completely free, and you won’t have to join their group either to get it.  They’ve got a whole wall of freebies that you can grab without a group join.  Love!

Beachy Bliss

What is it about the beach that sets our minds at ease and calms our restless spirits?  Why do crashing waves and warm sand bring inner peace?  Maybe it has something to do with evolution and strange creatures crawling out of the primordial ooze, or maybe…it’s just pretty.  What do you think?

Summer it Up

Summerfest is going down right now and if you look closely you may just find a few free gifts here and there.  As per usual, Grixdale are offering a free version of their bikini that’s for sale.  I really like the feather-like attachments to this cute swimsuit, which is sized for Maitreya bodies.   To get yours, just take a look at their display and find the free one, easy peasy lemon squeezy!

Pouting Will Get You Everywhere

One of my fave makeup designers, Pout! are offering a free group gift to members of their free to join group!  This pretty pastel eyeshadow comes in 8 different colours and will make your eyes pop!  It comes with appliers for Catwa, Genus, Lelutka, Lelutka Evo as well as BOM.  There are a few other group gifts there too while you’re at it.  Woohoo!

Ahh, beachy bliss

Into the Woods

Today I’m leaving my little cottage in the woods for a bit of adventure.  I feel a bit like a modern-day Sleeping Beauty who heads off from her daily grind to sing in the woods and run into the handsome prince.  Hey, it could happen!

Dress it Up

My purple velvet dress is a free gift I picked up over at Grixdale.  You can find a few hidden gifts in their store, often disguised as demos.  This dress (sized for Maitreya) is one of those little sneaky gifts that you’ll find when you head over there!  You may find one or two more when you look through Grixdale’s offerings, and no need to join a group to get them.  Sneaky!

Over the Shoulder

Fakeicon have a new group gift, and it’s this jacket I have slung over my shoulder.  It comes in several different colours, and also has a male version in the box!  You can edit it so that it fits the pose that comes with it perfectly.  To get yours, just join the Fakeicon group for 99L.  There are a few other group gifts there to pick up while you’re at it!

Oh handsome priiiince, where aaaaare you?
