January started the New Year with a bang and it is going to end in a flurry of great clothes hunting as the Menstuff hunt begins anew. It’s kind of like January came in like a lion and is going out like a slightly bigger lion! If that isn’t enough to put a smile on your face, then the free shoes round-up coming tomorrow surely will. January will go down as a great month to be a guy on SL.
Hawker’s House is a quality men’s clothing store, so it’s a shame I have not had the occasion to mention it much in my posts. They have made very nice clothing and deserve some special attention. When I popped by to pick up this month’s free group gift at the store, I was pleased to see it was the Men’s Mesh Dress Vest and Slacks – Gainsboro. Its light, informal look has the slightly-rumpled casual look which I love wearing. (In my real life, “casual” means I wear my tie looser and let my collar flap freely in the breeze. Put yo’ hood up, Orange County!) The Gainsboro consists of a white shirt, a black tie and the matching vest and slacks. Each of the items are separate pieces of Mesh and come in five sizes to make fitting easier. The textures are well done and the complete outfit is quite stylish. Hawker’s House‘s group joiner is free, so pick this up and give it a try. I bet you will like it as much as I do!
The eyes I chose to wear with this outfit are a prize from The Fresh Start hunt. Inkheart is offering this attractive light green pair of eyes called the Reverie Eyes in Hope as their hunt prize. They look great with the light gray in the vest and slacks! The hunt object you are looking for is a yellow star. When you are in the store, tap the hunt poster for a hint as to where you might find it.
That’s it for today, but we have an action-packed couple of weeks coming up for people interested in high-quality, low-cost men’s apparel. I am extremely excited and can’t wait to share with you what I find! Until then, have fun and see you on the grid!—–WHC Riler

Hello again. How has your week been? So far so good in my neck of the woods. So I thought I’d pop in and show off 2 goodies for ya 🙂
One thing I get excited about showing up this time of year, with the temperature growing colder, but you just don’t want to give up on the summery clothing, sweater dresses! Something about the juxtaposition of a warm comfy sweater with a short, usually tight, dress, I just love them, and they give you the best of both warm and colds seasons. Get Frocked has this super cute, belted, red sweater dress as their free November group gift for the ladies. It is mesh, and comes in the standard sizes. The group is free to join, and for all you men out there, don’t despair, there is a matching men’s sweater group gift available for you too. You have until the end of the month to grab these freebies.
Of course, I had to find some shoes to show off. These pretty black pumps are a free gift for SLF&O group members at Like Design. The Mimi shoes are for SLink high feet, and all you need to do is throw on your SLF&O group tag to grab them. I know you all know this already, but, the group is free to join. However, if you aren’t a member, you can find a join sign at the store, right by the gift.
Alrighty lovelies, I must be off again. The life of an SL’r who runs around looking for great freebies and deals to share with you all, never stops. LOL! So, until next time, TTFN 🙂

Happy Wednesday everyone! I’ve noticed that I haven’t really done a Fall type post yet, and even though it is almost half way through November already (OMG, right!), it is still very much Fall in my area, with only the smallest hint of snow so far. So I thought I’d play along with the weather, and do a cozy Fall, not Winter, post, and for fun, throw in Spring. Are you confused yet? LOL.
OK, let me explain. Traditionally, sweaters are Fall territory, I think we all can agree there. However, the colours of Fall tend to be warm colours, darker, rich, cozy colours. As you can see in my picture, although my surroundings are screaming Autumn, the pretty pastel colours of my outfit, are more inclined to say Spring. Skirts also tend to be seen more in Spring and Summer, although not exclusively, and when I got dressed, I couldn’t decide what season I was best suited for. But, I guess I should just stop rambling and go ahead and tell you where to get this multi-seasonal look eh? LOL. The sweet pink sweater I have on, is the latest group gift from Amiable. I can’t get enough of the lips cutout, such a fun detail. Put out in celebration of the group hitting 1700 members, it is free with your group tag on. Even better, that group is free to join. My skirt is an older group gift from Amiable that is still available, and you might recognize it, kinda, as Love showed it originally HERE, in its darker blue version. It comes with a hud for you to be able to choose between the 2 colours. Both sweater and skirt are mesh, and come in the standard sizes. Make sure you grab all the other group gifts that are still available.
I love an easy, slightly messy, updo, with the loose wispy bits making me think of a spring breeze, working perfectly with my Spring in Fall look. Lucky for me, and for all of you, the one I am wearing is from a new to me store called Bold & Beauty, and it is a free group gift! Avery comes in a full fatpack, with every colour you could possibly wish for, and is unrigged mesh, to allow for editing if you need to. The group is free to join, all you need to do is have your tag on to pick up your gift. There is a second hair gift for you, as well as a few clothing items, all free with the group tag.
So..am I reaching with this Fall Spring look? LOL. Honestly, I do not choose clothing based on the season, I’m one of those crazies who wears whatever ever they want, whenever, and no colour is off-limits. Clothing is about expressing yourself, and as Spring and Fall are my favourite seasons, this expresses me perfectly 🙂
Alrighty, I must be off for now. I won’t be gone long though, as I already have some great stuff set up for another post soon. So, until then, TTFN!

Hello all you fabulous hair loving readers! It’s Free Hair Day here on FabFree, as if you didn’t already know. I picked up some great ones, so let’s get right to it!
These three un-rigged mesh styles, are all from Pocket Mirrors. The black bob is called Valentina, and is a free group gift for the Pocket Mirrors group, which is free to join, and you actually get a full fatpack of colours. The retro-looking blonde style I have on is called Marloe Wavy, and is free for members of The Magazine group, which is also free to join. My third style is the Guadalupe up-do in the Sienna tone, and it is free for members of the SLF&O group, and I know you all know, it is a free group to join. There are boards for both the Magazine group, and the SLF&O group in the hallway at Pocket Mirrors, so joining these groups is easy.
Wanting to show some hair that was a little different, I went with 3 of the current free group gifts from booN, which are un-rigged mesh, so they are mod friendly. My first hair is a super sleek bob, and it comes in a fatpack of almost every colour you can imagine. My cornrows hair, is actually meant to be used as a hairbase to go along with some of their cornrows hair attachments. However, with all the intricate details, and cute swirley braid pattern, I can absolutely see this being used as is. This, as well, comes in a fatpack of colours, and also comes with a hud to adjust the skintone of the scalp to match any skin. Lastly, I chose this cute, edgy bob, and you guessed, it, it’s a fatpack of a bunch of colours. All 3 of these hairs are easily unisex, so guys, check them out too. The booN group is free to join, and there are many other hair gifts available, so you really should check it out, especially if you have a flair for the anime look…trust me.
Deviating from my predominantly black shaded hair pictures, I went with the current free group gifts from Tableau Vivant. The funky teal up-do, in un-rigged mesh, is Morgan, and the lovely long blue-ombre style, that is rigged mesh, is Muse. Both of these hairs come with the vivids & pastels texture hud, which has all sorts of gorgeous colours to choose from. The other cool thing about both of these hairs, they both come with male versions, so you guys are not forgotten! The Tableau Vivant group is L$100 to join, but with 2 group gifts available, it is well worth it.
Finally, my last stop was over at Zalea. There are 2 styles here for you to grab. The first one, and I have to say my favourite, is Leah, and you may remember that one as Zalea’s free gift at this years Hair Fair. Leah comes as a Zealot pack, which means there is a texture hud that is just jam-packed with colour choices. The other hair is Fiona, and comes with a hud that has 4 colours to choose from, and was put out as the grand re-opening gift. Leah and Fiona, both rigged mesh, are free for everyone, just find their gift boxes at the back of the store and buy them for L$0.
Wowie! Between my post and all of the other awesome Free Hair Day posts from my fellow FabFree bloggers, there is no way your heads will go uncovered…unless you are rocking the bald look of course 😉 . I will leave you for now, to bask in the hair loveliness, until next time, TTFN!

Hello again my pretties. *cackles* How many of you lovely readers have seen the musical Wicked? I went a few years ago, and loved it! I enjoyed seeing a different side to the story of the wicked witch. So for this Halloween, I’ve decided to put together a look that I think says wicked witch…who’s fun and cool, and not evil at all! I promise, I was not stirring up some evil potion in that cauldron, it was just supper, really!
Ok ok, so it all started with the latest free group gift from Sugar Button Boutique. How cute is this dress! This short Halloween dress in brown is fitted mesh, in a few different sizes, and I think it is a great alternative to what you would normally see a green-skinned witch dressed up in. You know the look, long, black, maybe a little ragged, cloak/dress of some kind. While there is nothing wrong with that, as I said, I wanted fun, cool…normal. LOL. The Sugar Button Boutique group is L$100 to join, but there are past group gifts still available, so it’s more than worth it.
Needing a little bling, I found the coolest bat leg chain accessory at the current round of The Fantasy Collective, and it is from Una. It is non-rigged mesh, so you can adjust it to your heart’s content (I made mine a touch smaller to fit with my leg size). If you have yet to wander around the Fantasy Collective this round, make sure when you land, you join the free group, as this leg chain, along with a whole whack load of other goodies, is free as part of a little trick or treat set up that is for group members only. All of the participating vendors have a pumpkin beside their booths, and all you need to do is touch the pumpkins to receive either a trick, or a treat. Trust me, they are all treats!
Next I needed shoes. Seriously, as I was thinking of what I could put on, a well-timed notice from the Shey group showed up with these awesome black boots attached! The Shey Hallow Boot’s are mesh, and come in the standard sizes. No special feet required. The group is free to join, and you just have to check the notices to grab these free boots. Remember, group notices only last 2 weeks, so don’t wait.
Lastly, I wanted to show that it’s not always flying monkeys that we wicked witches use as companions. I just so happened to find the cutest little pumpkin headed ghost in my travels. His name is George, but he is so cute, that I call him Georgie. He is available, for free, at the !Ohmai store. He was created during a livestream tutorial for mesh making here in SL, and since he turned out so nice, Anya Ohmai, the creator, decided to bring him inworld and give him away to everyone. Warning, he does moan and groan a lot, but I think it’s ghost for ‘look how cute I am’.
Now before I leave, I just wanted to mention the perfect green skin I am wearing. Unfortunetely, it does not quite fall in our L$75 and under guidelines, but, it is such a great deal, I couldn’t not tell you all. The lovely Lumiya Rae of Lumae has put out 3 versions of the beautiful Niska skin, in the ghoulish Wicked tone, for only L$100 each! Each skin comes with 5 options for eyebrows, all the appliers you could ever ask for, and even the cute pointed ears I have on. Now you see why I had to mention it. You have until November 6th to get them at this price, and then they go up to L$425 each.
Alrighty, I think this cool witch is done for now. My soup is starting to smell a little less like soup, and more like a burnt potion. Oops! That’s what I get for not paying attention. *cackles again* I am going to go try to save it. Until next time, TTFN 🙂

Did I scare you? I’m sorry if I did. Honestly, I am just trying to un-scare myself, and what better way to do that then to scare all of you Fabbies. You see, I decided to go trick-or-treating early, and ended up falling through a trap door in the woods, into a maze-like dungeon that I barely escaped, only to stumble out into a graveyard…where it was raining! I know right. The things you go through to get a little candy, but they told me the house giving away the biggest chocolate bar was in there. Luckily for me, and for you bargain lovers, I had put my costume together with a great freebie, and cheapie, and looked great while all of this was going on.
First of all, I know you are eyeing up my cute dress and tights. Those of you familiar with G Field, know that every Halloween, there is always a fun outfit put out as a free gift, and my skeleton bib dress and matching tights are what you can get this year. The dress is mesh, in the standard sizes, and also comes with flat chested versions. The tights are on system layers, as well as having an applier hud included for SLink and Maitreya. If you are in the G Field subscribo group, you probably already have this in your inventory, however, if you aren’t, or your IM’s capped (like mine did) you can head over to the store, and there is a nice little display with this gift, for free, for everyone, as well as past Halloween outfits, also still free.
Wanting to add a little more red to my almost monotone costume, I lucked out while wandering around the The Nightmare Event, when I found the Alice Project’s booth. They have gory Halloween versions of 5 of their hairs. For a small L$50, you will get a limited 5 colour pack of your choice of these now blood-soaked Halloween Massacre versions. I went with the sweet ponitailed Kumi, totally turned creepy with the blood. If blood is not what you are looking for, they do have the nice clean versions of all of the same hairs there for you too, set at their usual price. But come on…how can you say no to blood soaked hair in October! LOL.
Now, I did mention that before my scary ordeal, I had started out trick-or-treating. The cute candy bucket I am holding, as well as the handy flashlight, are both free gifts from this years Havenhollow set up. It’s a fun little neighbourhood for kids and adults of all ages where you can go door to door and if you are lucky, the kind residents will give you candy, and this year, it is actually hosted on an LEA sim, which is Linden Endowment for the Arts (hooray for that). Just beware of the cute, costumed, little girl by the entrance to the woods, she is the one to give you the flashlight so you can venture into the darkness, and then you know what happens…trap door, dungeon…yeah…scare fest! As this is an all ages sim, the candy bucket and flashlight both come in multiple sizes, so they should fit most hands. This build only sticks around for the Halloween season, and then it will be gone for another year. So set your windlight to region default, turn up your sounds, and explore!
OK, I think I have managed to come down from my scare, the candy from trick-or-treating has helped, I won’t lie. LOL. So that is it for me for now, but you know I will be back, I can’t stay away from all of you…or the great freebies and deals. So, until the next time, TTFN!
PS: I just wanted to personally say, thank you to all of the FabFree family who made it known that they wanted FabFree to stick around by showing all of us so much love. I love being able to share the fun of bargain hunting with all of you, and was so excited when the decision was made to keep the FabFree blog open. Here’s to many more years of freebies and deals in SL!

Hello again my FabFree readers! Did you miss me last week? I missed you, but don’t worry, I’m going to make up for my lack of a post last week with a super-duper, wicked-awesome, goodie-filled post today! Ok, maybe I overdid it with the ‘super-duper’, and ‘wicked-awesome’, but I do have a lot of goodies to show off. So let me get right into it.
I wanted to put together a look that would work for a more formal Halloween party, and I started with my shoes. These little beauties, called Sutra II, are the free October Facebook gift from Alaskametro. I was so excited to see the colour they came in, as I just love purple as a Halloween colour. What’s even better, they come with a HUD that lets you choose between 3 different shades of purple. I am wearing the version for SLink high feet, but there are also The Mesh Project, Maitreya, and Belezza versions, all in their prospective high versions. In case you have not ever taken advantage of the Alaskametro Facebook gifts, or just don’t remember what to do, let me tell you. You need to head over to the Alaskametro Facebook page, HERE (like it if you haven’t already), and click on the link for special promotions. The picture there will tell you the code you need to know. Then, inworld, head over to the Alaskametro store, and walk over to the gift poster. Say the code you got from the Facebook page, on channel 33, exactly as written (meaning in capital letters). So your chat bar should show /33 CODEHERE, with CODEHERE not being the actual code, of course. Make sense? Trust me, these shoes are worth the effort! You have until the end of the month to grab them up.
Next up, my gorgeous dress. This is the Lavish Mesh dress in purple from Tiffany Designs, and it is their current Womenstuff group gift located at the ‘stuff Lounge. As stated in the name, this is a mesh dress, in all the standard sizes. Sure, looking at the lovely flowery print, with the sweet flower at the waist, one does not immediately say ‘Hey, that’s a great dress for Halloween!’, but the colour worked so nicely with my shoes, and of course the devil is in all the little added details for putting together a great costume. *grins* All you need to do to get this free gift, is join the Womenstuff group, for a small L$50 fee that is totally worth it for this dress alone, not to mention the multitudes of other gifts available.
OK, no formal party look is complete without some great jewelry. I picked up this statement making Bohemian Rhapsody necklace and earrings set at our very own FabFree Headquarters, and it is a free gift from D.D.M. Designs. These big bold pieces are the perfect complement to the simple lines of my dress and shoes, and it’s hard to beat free! Just a warning, there are actually 2 left earrings in this set, and no right earring. I have alerted the creator, but it is a simple fix by changing the attach point of one earring to the right ear, and then doing a few hocus pocus adjustments to get it sitting correctly.
OK, now for the piece that made my stunning formal look into a stunning masquerade formal look…my fabulous floral eye patch from the Bird Next Door Shop on the Marketplace. To be honest, when I decided that I needed something for my face, I went looking for the typical, pretty, delicate mask look, and believe me, there are lots of great ones to choose from. However, in my search on the Marketplace, this flower eye patch came up, and for only L$23. It was so different from everything else, and at such an affordable price, I thought I’d give it a try. Obviously…it was a winner! And, even though the listing says it is no mod, it is actually the resize script that is no mod, so you can adjust each individual piece to your heart’s content. I tinted a few of the glowy flexi pieces the same purple as the flowers to better match my dress.
Phew…ok…I think I am done. This was a long post. I think I am going to go see if Mr. Skeleton would like to dance. He looks like he may have been waiting around for quite a while. LOL. Hope you all have a lovely week, and I will see you again soon. Until then, TTFN!

Ah yes..here it is, Thursday again. Even better though…it’s October 1st! You know what that means right? Halloween is right around the corner! My favourite time of year. So I thought I would usher this month in with a Halloween post first thing.
How cute am I in my witchy get-up? Best of all..it’s totally free? That’s right, you heard me. FREE!Almost everything I have on is included in one awesome, full avatar, group gift from ShuShu as part of the LAMU group. The super fun Halloween Night avatar outfit is chock full of everything you need to change your look. I’m showing off the fitted mesh versions of the top and skirt, though both also come in standard sized versions as well, a matching hat, and bracelets. Some clothing pieces I chose not to wear; mesh legwarmers, both in fitted versions, and non-fitted, a leg band with a holstered gun, as well as a handheld gun.
Naturally, a full outfit would not be complete without shoes, and how sweet are the curled toe heels, which are made for SLink mid feet? Of course I had to do a close-up shot.
Now wait a minute. I said full avatar, didn’t I. Which means…the lovely skin and hair I have on are also included. You also get 2 shapes: one shorter, and the other, taller. I chose to go with my own shape though, as I really liked how well it meshed with the beautiful features on the skin. While the skin did not come with appliers, I think I did a pretty good job skin matching my hands and feet (feel free to IM me for the numbers if you are having trouble). The pretty stripey hair is fitted mesh and I think it will look great with other outfits, even if they aren’t Halloween themed. As if all this wasn’t enough, you get a freckle tattoo layer, which I am sporting, as well as a funky eye makeup, which I chose to not wear. Honestly, this gift has so many things included, you can slightly change your look, everyday, and not have to open another folder in your inventory.
So let me repeat…all of that *points up to her pictures* is free when you join the LAMU group, which is free to join. Don’t get me started on the plethora of other group gifts available. It is a FabFree readers heaven. Here is the Direct TP to the Halloween Night group gift, as it can be a little tricky to find. Trust me though, you will want to explore once you get that group tag on, and find all those other gifties.
Oh…and since I know you all want to know about that totally rocking broom I’m riding, it is part of a 7 pose set that I picked up on the Marketplace from TNT. It’s slightly over the L$75 or less that we stick to for features, but at only L$89 for a broom that matches this witch outfit so perfectly….I think I’ll be forgiven 😉
OK my super Fab readers, I must be off. My broomstick’s batteries are getting dangerously low, and I don’t really want to walk if they die before I get home *grins*. Hope you have a wonderful week, and I will see you all back here again! Until then, TTFN *cackles all witch-like as she flies of towards the moon*

Happy, happy Thursday everyone! I was afraid I might not make it in time this week, as I am having a few issues with my internet provider, but as you can see, I toughed it out and have some great things to show you. I like to call this my hot Librarian look 😉 .
It all started when I was browsing through the notices in our very own FabFree group in world. I opened the notice from Braham Design, and they had this super cute pants suit group gift. The Ria outfit is free for Braham Design group members, and that group is free to join. The gift consists of mesh pants, a mesh shirt, and a mesh jacket. All pieces come in the standard sizes, and are meant to be worn together, with alpha’s provided to go without the jacket if you’d like. However, they will work separately as well, and since these pieces are all classics, they are for sure going to be staples in my wardrobe.
Naturally, I needed shoes. Now, I will admit, the shoes I went with, are highly unpractical for a real Librarian…luckily for me, this is SL, and all shoes are super-comfy *grins*. OK, so, I decided to stop at Shey’s, as I had heard a lot about them, but had not been. Well, I’ve been missing out. In the building labelled Shey Days, there are so many awesome deals, as well as group gifts…I couldn’t help but load up. I picked out the super-glam Trio Q Stilettos. They are for SLink high feet, and as seen in the picture, have a HUD with so many texture options. I had a hard time choosing colours for myself. Red and gold are a classic combination, and go so nicely with black…I think I have a winner. These beauties will set you back a piddly L$30.
I did mention group gifts from Shey, and how fortunate that one of these group gifts totally worked with my look. The simplistic beauty of the Kos Jewelry set, which includes a necklace, earrings, and a bracelet, are a perfect complement for my outfit. As I said, they are a free group gift, the group is free to join, and are actually included in a big grouping of jewelry. So even if this style is not working for you, there are several other pieces included in the group that you are bound to love. Oh, and don’t forget to grab all the other group gifts as well…let me just say…boots.
The last piece I wanted to share with you, is from Maxi Gossamer, and as so many of her jewelry pieces are, it is a statement piece! The gorgeous ring on my right hand is called Ketama, and is the current free group gift. The group is still free to join. You get 2 rings in this gift. a small version for your left hand, and this larger, eye-catching version for your right. Both rings are texture change through clicking on the ring itself, with metal options of gold or silver for each of the stone choices. I think it was the perfect final touch to this sexy Librarian.
OK Fabbies. I think I have done my job for the day. I have to admit, this is one of my favourite outfits I’ve put together, and I am going to get a lot of wear out of it. What can I say, I love looking good, for a good book 😉 . I hope you all have a great week, and I will see you all back here next Thursday. Until then, TTFN!

Ahh, Thursday again, which is quickly becoming my favourite day of the week, as I get to show all you lovely Fab readers, some great deals! Today shall be no different. The recent post, by fellow blogger Morgie Hilra, that Pru featured HERE, in which she made a video showing off several places for new, or just deal-loving avies to go for free or well-priced items, including our own FabFree HQ, reminded me that it has been an awful long time since I paid Free Dove a visit. So, this week, that is where I headed, and let me tell you, there is something for everyone, whether you are new to SL, or have been around awhile and have mesh body parts out the ying-yang. LOL. Let me show you a few pieces that I think everyone will love, and each item is totally FREE!
Let me start off with my clothing. The cute Layla tank in Purple, and my sexy Jade skinny jeans, are both items at Free Dove from blah.BLAH.blah. The mesh tank top actually comes in a whole fatpack of colours, 8 to be exact, and each come in the standard sizes. As for my jeans, it is almost like a fatpack. You get 4 versions of jeans. V1, which I am wearing, has a brown belt, while V2 has a jean belt that matches the jeans themselves. Both versions then also come in 2 more versions, cuffed or uncuffed. Not bad for free. Like the tanks, these are mesh, and come in the standard sizes.
No outfit is complete without some kind of jewelry, at least that’s my opinion. Lucky for me, EarthStones has some goodies for you at Free Dove as well. Their offering is the Lora set in 2 colours. These sets consist of a necklace, and matching earrings. You get one set in silver, with a turquoise stone, which I am showing off (although my hair is hiding my earrings), and another set in gold, with a warm, orangey-coloured Sunstone. Each piece is script-resizable, so the majority of shapes and sizes should be able to adjust as needed.
My last Free Dove gift to show you, is from Pink Cherry, and it is for you SLink hand and feet users, such as myself. You can pick up a set of nail appliers, in a really pretty metallic and black pattern, again, for free! Silly me, forgot to include a picture of the hud, but there are 8 total colours for you to choose from, that all have the black accent stripe on them. The perfect finishing touch for pretty much any outfit.
OK, so I mentioned my hair when talking about my jewelry. The last gift I want to share with you, said hair, is not from Free Dove, but I had to let you all know about it. The fun and sassy Sadie hair, in Walnut, is the current free group/subscribo gift from Zalea. You all remember ChiChickie! don’t you. Well, when they closed to rebrand, Zalea is what they became. Pru showed off the free Grand Re-Opening gift HERE (and it’s still available, in case you were wondering, along with the gift hair they had out at this years Hair Fair.) Both of those are free for everyone, but if you want the hair I have on, you have 2 choices; join their free in-world group and grab it from history, or if you don’t have room, join the subscribo, and it is in that history, as well. It’s a sweet style of un-rigged mesh, with some flexi-pieces that add a little movement as you walk, and you all know how partial I am to shorter-do’s.
Alrighty..I think I have shown you all I can for now. I know, I could find more, but I need something to show you next week! Who am I kidding, as if I could run out of awesome freebies and cheapies to show off. That is why I love SL, so many generous designers with awesome products for us thrifty shoppers. So, until then, TTFN!
