Don’t Miss This!

 

I hope everyone who celebrated the July 4th holiday had fun and kept safe. How did I spent my July 4th? Shopping at Vinyl! Not only does Vinyl have a new group gift out, but they are having a big sale that lasts from now until July 10th. The Vinyl group is also free to join at this time.

Vinyl Group Gift

The most recent free group gift is this cute cropped tee in dark blue that reads “I’m Just Here to BANG” in red white and blue lettering. I personally love the way this top fits. It comes in the following sizes: Maitreya Lara, Legacy, Belleza (Isis, Venus, Freya), Slink (Physique, Hourglass). To get your copy join the free-to-join Vinyl store group and click the gift vendor while wearing your group tag. Also, there are a few previous group gifts still available.

The Vinyl Sale 

As I mentioned Vinyl is having a sale until July 10th at midnight. The sale includes regular items, new items, and gachas. Plus if you shop while wearing your Vinyl group tag you’ll get store credit on most purchases. During the sale at Vinyl you can pick up individual clothing packs for 74 linden each, and gachas are 25 linden per play. I picked up these Sheeran Boyfriend Jeans in Darkest Blue for just 74 linden as part of the sale. They come in the following sizes:  Maitreya Lara, Belleza (Isis, Venus, Freya), Slink (Physique, Hourglass), and has a hud that lets you have a distressed option to the fabric.

Late Afternoon

Hello Fab Free’rs! Sometimes you just need to sit and have a quiet moment. Yesterday was that kind of day for me, nothing sad or unfortunate, just some quiet time to reflect. It was good, and needed. I also had a little bit of time to pick up some recent group gifts that I’m happy I get to share with you. Keep reading and as always, I’ll give you all the information about each of these fabulous finds.

The Outfit – Pru’s cute froggy top and plaid pants are the latest free gift for Fabulously Free in SL group members by C!L. You can’t see it as well in my photo, but the shirt is cropped and knotted in the front. I love this for a cute casual Valentine look. The outfit comes in several sizes and is suitable for classic avatars. If you’re not already a Fab Free group member, you should be! The Fab Free group is always free to join.

The HEC group has a one time join fee of 25 linden.

The Bench – This adorably rustic heart bench is a free group gift at Reka. The Reka group is free to join. It has a few female sit poses, a few male sit poses, and several cuddles. I love the over all look of this sweet free gift, especially the way the bench curves toward the center. This freebie is waiting at the Reka landing point. There’s also a group joiner since you’ll need to be wearing the Reka group tag.

Winter Wonderful

Hello hello Fab Free’rs! I hope everyone who celebrates has been enjoying the Winter Holiday season. If your family is anything like mine, Christmas does not end on the 25th, but rather lasts through the weekend. Traveling to visit extended family and extending the celebration, there are plenty of opportunities to wear your not-so-ugly ugly Christmas sweaters. This perfect for visiting friends and family holiday look is all thanks to a recent group gift at HEC and the 2018 dollarbie holiday hairstyle from Exxess.

The Sweater & Skirt – This “Ugly Christmas Sweater” dress is a current group gift at Hot Elegant Clothing. It comes in several mesh sizes, and is suitable for classic and mesh avatars. It’s also free to all HEC group members, and the HEC group is just 25 linden to join. This sweater dress gift comes with a highly detailed hud that lets you customize the color of the sweater separately from the skirt, and adjust things like brightness, and opacity. There are also a few preset options for both the sweater and the skirt. To get yours, be sure to wear your HEC group tag and use the scroll-able group gift vendor to pick up your free gift.
Sizes Included: Maitreya Lara, Slink (Physique, Hourglass), eBody, Belleza (Freya, Isis, Venus), Classic (for non mesh avatars)

Hairstyle w/Hat – This year’s Christmas Hairstyle by Exxess is now available on the Marketplace for just 1 linden. Cute and winter-y, the hairstyle comes with a color change hud with 2 menus of solid and mixed hair colors to pick from. The best part about the hair is there are 2 versions, a static version, and a “breeze” option that makes it look as though the hair is gently blowing in a breeze. Additionally the Exxess X-Mas hairstyles from previous years are still available for just 1 linden on the Marketplace.

Here are the details, enjoy!

Hello October

Welcome back to the blog Fab Free’rs, and a special hello to the month of October! Sings “It’s the most wonderful time of the year…” Honestly, October is my December, and Halloween is my Christmas. Alright, I won’t subject you to any more of the thought of me singing, but I am still excited about the group gifts from Safira and HEC I have to share with you.

The Top – Love reminded me about this recent free group gift out at Safira. She really knows my style so well! The top has a satin-like look to it and is plain in the front with this cutely spooky skull cutout pattern in the back. This cute top comes with a color change hud with quite a few solid color options. The Safira group is free to join at this time, and there are quite a few group gifts available.
Sizes Included: Maitreya Lara, Belleza (Freya, Isis), Slink Hourglass

The Bracelet – One of the most recent group gifts at HEC is this cute bracelet. The letters spell the word HOT which gives this accessory a little sass! This group gift at HEC comes in a left and a right so you can wear it on either wrist, or both. It’s also able to be resized and is unisex. The bracelet has a color change hud with the ability for you to choose a custom color for the letters and the band. The HEC group has a one time join fee of 25 linden.

We Are the Weirdos, Mister

Hi There Fab Free! I feel like this week was one of those that both dragged on and flew by. I wasn’t prepared for today to be he weekend already. Even unprepared, I’m all for it! Just recently Love did a post where she showed us two of the cute new free Lucky Letter Boards at Petite Mort, if you missed it her post is here. I mention it because she let me know that Oubliette had also put new free prizes in their Lucky Letter boards. She also said they reminded her of me. Well I am here to say she was so right! This novelty tank top especially is right up my ally. In addition, this flirty little belted skirt is also a free Lucky Letter board prize at Oubliette. I think it pairs nicely with the top. Keep reading for the who, what, and where of how to get your copy of these fabulous finds.

The Top – As you may or may not know, Petite Mort and Oubliette share a store group. The group is free to join. Also, the single group will grant you access to the free Lucky Boards and Group gifts for both stores. Just be sure to wear your group tag before you start stalking those Lucky Letter boards! This cute top comes in several mesh sizes. Bonus points if you know what movie this quote is from, without having to look it up!

Sizes Included: Slink (Physique, Hourglass), Maitreya Lara, Belleza (Isis, Freya, Venus)

The Skirt – This is what I would call a micro mini shirt. She is short ya’ll! However, since when has lack of length stopped anyone from wearing a cute skirt in Second Life?! This one is really cute. I think the studded belts also make it fun to wear. Like the top, this skirt is also a free Lucky Letter board prize at Oubliette. It comes in the purple shade shown, with several size options.

Sizes Included: Slink (Physique, Hourglass), Maitreya Lara, Belleza (Isis, Freya, Venus)

One in a Melon

Hello Fab Free’rs! We survived Monday! I think that in itself is worth celebrating. I don’t know about you, but I like to treat myself with some shopping, especially when the shopping doesn’t really cost much. Right now you can pick up a set of adorable summertime themed tanks like the one Pru has on for free with your group tag at Hot Elegant Clothing (HEC). This group gift comes in a few different sizes, and includes an alpha layer for classic avatars. There’s also a fantastic color/texture change hud that not only allows to pick from several preset color/image options, it also lets you choose the opacity of the top, and toggle on or off the full bright option. I love the version Pru has on. It says “One in a Melon.” What can I say, I’m a sucker for a good pun. To get yours simply head over to HEC and join the in-world group. There is a one time join fee of 25 linden. Then click the gift vendor while wearing your HEC group tag.

Red White and Blue

Hello hello Fab Free’rs! Sorry it’s been so long since my last post, that pesky Real Life is relentless at times. Needless to say I am happy to be back, I missed you guys! If you live in the States like I do, our most patriotic holiday, Independence Day, is nearly here.  Personally I just want to celebrate with friends and and family and take advantage of the opportunity for some summer fireworks. It wouldn’t be the 4th of July without some red, white, and blue gear to show your patriotic spirit. I picked up two free Independence Day inspired gifts to share, I hope you like them as much as I do!

The Bikini Top – I think this free star shaped bikini top from Dirty Princess is a must-have. Not only is it perfectly patriotic, it’s also something I’d wear all summer, no holiday needed. This free Dirty Princess group gift comes in 2 versions, the one with white ties shown, and one with red ties. The Dirty Princess group is free to join. This free gift is sized for Maitreya only. To get yours head over to Dirty Princess, enter the store at the entrance with the horses, the gift is waiting next to the desk.

The Phone – For a little fun ChicChica put out this cute patriotic cell phone out as a free for everyone gift. There’s no group needed, just purchase the gift for zero linden. This free USA themed phone has a hold pose. You’ll find this freebie waiting on the ChicChica desk.

Here are the details, enjoy!

Shouting is Fun

I was having a conversation with a friend about my “desert island” songs.  Basically, you choose 7 songs that you couldn’t live without if you were marooned on a deserted island.  They’re supposed to tell a story of what your life has been, through music.  Naturally, I got onto YouTube as quick as I could and dove in, so I’ve been listening to music and remembering things all day.  I am not ashamed to say that one of my most formative songs was “Wannabe” by the Spice Girls, because GIRL POWER!!!! Amirite?  One of my favourite Spice Girls quotes ever is “Silence is Golden, but Shouting is FUN”, and I can’t think of a more apt thing to say about my outfit today! So, today because I’m feeling kind of loud, I found a fun bunch of goodies!  Let me try as concise as possible and tell you about all the awesomeness…

Hair

Dude – go to Fabia.  Seriously, go.  Love told me of the goodies that lay there, and she wasn’t lying.  Join the group for 100L and literally (well, figuratively…) get a million different hairdos that will have you unpacking until the cows come home!  I chose the “Britney” hairstyle which features two gorgeous braids cascading down the back, and loads of colour options but there is so much more to choose from at Fabia!

Top

This black lace bustier is the most recent group gift from HEC.  Join the group for 25L, and gain access to a hoard of awesome gifts. Pay the vendor 1L, and you’ll get it refunded.  I really like this top because I can dress it up or down, and it’s just a whole lotta fun.  Go get it!

Sizes

• Maitreya
• Hourglass
• Physique
• Ebody
• Small & Large Standard Sizes

Jeans

My fun animal-print and pastel jeans (that are open to quite a daring dip…eep!) are a group gift over at No Cabide.  There’s a whole bunch of goodness to pick up there too, and the group is free to join!  These jeans come in an array of pretty pastel shades that are anything but demure! Oh, and bonus – there’s a matching pair of shoes in the box!

Sizes

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

PHEW.  I think it’s time for a dance around the room after all that work!

Firelight Hearts

Hello hello Fab Free’rs! Is anyone else just now realizing that Valentine’s Day is just a few days away!? I got caught up in all the hearts and cuteness and forgot to pay attention to the actual date. Thankfully there is still time to find something cute to wear. I suggest this fun little dress from HEC (Hot Elegant Clothing) for the WomenStuff group. Also included with this gift is a HUD that lets you change the glow, and  “sheerness” of the dress, or hide it completely for a “strip” effect. The WomenStuff group is just 50 linden to join. This dress has a matching alpha layer as well, so it can be worn by classic non-mesh avatars.

Mesh Sizes Included: Maitreya Lara, Belleza (Freya, Isis, Venus), eBody, Fitmesh, Slink (Hourglass, Physique)

Everyone loves FREE hair, especially me! The sleek hairstyle Pru is wearing is a FREE 68 Main event group gift by Firelight. The 68 Main group is FREE to join. With the Firelight gift at 68 Main you’ll get the style in 2 sizes and a color hud with the light brown shade shown and a darker brunette option.
