Peek-a-Boo

Hello again FabFree’ers! I hope your weekend was wonderful and that your Monday is good as any Monday can possibly be!  I am excited to be starting another week of freebie and offer hunting for you all.

Oh Carolina!

Today I am sharing an item that is still out for 55L Thursday, and likely to be so for another couple of days but even so, if you want it, you shouldn’t delay.

Virtue is one of my favourite places to go for classy, ladylike, well made items of clothing, and this top does not disappoint.  It is a brand new release and comes in a variety of shades, and this white colour is on offer for just 55L.  I love the little ties at the wrist, the length is just right and I was able to wear it over many different bottoms without any bleed through – which is a real bonus as far as I am concerned – I love versatile pieces I can wear with lots of different wardrobe staples.

It comes in a humongous list of  sizes:

• Maitreya
• Belleza Freya & Venus
• Slink Physique
• Large, medium and small for Classic Avatar (alpha included)
• Tonic fine and curvy
• Ocacin & Ocacin Voluptuous

What is Zsa wearing? 

Mesh Body – Maitreya Lara
Mesh Head – Lelutka Chloe
Applier – Pink Fuel Anja
Eyes – Avi-Glam 
Hair – Bonbon Mina
Top – Virtue Carolina (55L Thursday)
Leggings – Neve, Deedee, poetry
Shoes – Phedora Sorcha Flats
Pose – Foxcity Autumn
Background – part of Maya’s Autumn House 

Indecisive in Sevilla

Hello again Fab Free’ers! I hope you  have had a Fabulous week, and that your weekend is off to a good start.  Ready for another free dress?  Keep reading!

Roxanna

I recently shared with you the Hilly Haalan group gift Nadia gown, here.  Today I am bringing you their other new group gift, the Roxanna dress. This dress comes in plenty of sizes and with an extensive texture change hud.

Sizes Included:

Maitreya
Belleza Freya, Isis & Venus
Slink Physique & Hourglass
Fitmesh for Classic Avatar (alpha included)

Decisions, decisions

I love love love texture change huds but as an annoyingly indecisive Libran, they give me too many options to choose from and then require me to make – loud gasp – a decision!

I can honestly say that all the choices in the Roxanna hud are lovely, and all very different, both in the colour of the top and the pattern of the skirt.  Which of course made my decision even harder, but this combo kept calling to me, so one decision down.  Then I had the issue of finding the right shoes in the perfect shade, but that is another story for another day…..

Sevilla

Zsa popped to Sevilla for her shoot today, via Minimal, who have a set of 2 backdrops in today’s Saturday Sale, well worth picking up at just 70L for the two.

What is Zsa wearing? 

Mesh Body – Maitreya Lara
Mesh Head – Lelutka Chloe
Applier – Pink Fuel Anja
Eyes – Avi-Glam 
Hair – Murray, Demi
Nails – Alaskametro “Flowerpress” nail art
Dress – Hilly Haalan Roxanna (free group gift / 0L / free to join)
Shoes – Essenz Slovakia
Bracelet – Noir Peace Bracelet
Backdrop – Minimal Sevilla (70L for Saturday Sale)

Rebel Rebel, put on your dress

Hello Fab Free’ers!  I am really excited to share with you the first of hopefully many fantastic freebies.  I’ve read the FabFree blog daily for years and it’s a real honour to have been accepted as a FabFree blogger.  I have always loved hunting down freebies, cheapies and bargains, and will enjoy it even more now that I can share my finds with you all!

Talk to me!

Feel free to contact me if you want any more details on something I post, or just to chat, or to tell me about some awesome freebies, cheapies or bargains you think I need to know about!

Redheads should never wear green

Who says?  Honestly, this is one of those silly rules I grew up hearing.  Redheads must steer clear of wearing anything green.  Pfft.  Sometimes rules are just meant to be broken, and this is definitely one of them, and that is why Zsa is a proud to be a rebel!

Beautiful simplicity

Even though I disagree with the redhead/green rule, I am a big believer in the old adage that less is more, and this beautiful gown, one of the newest group gifts from Hilly Haalan, demonstrates this perfectly – so simple, so classy.  Hilly’s group gifts are always such a treat.  Nadia is a beautifully flowing gown that gives you an amazing silhouette, reminiscent of the movie stars of the 40’s.  As she often does, Hilly has generously given us not just one colour but a whole hud full – 15 colours in fact.  So, in effect, 15 beautiful gowns for free!

Sizes Included:

• Maitreya
• Slink Physique & Hourglass
• Standard Large & Standard Small (alpha included)

Nantra – Who are you wearing

You ain’t here to kiss me

Hi! Have you seen the billions of free gifts at Hilly Haalan? Literally. Billions. I just used literally to mean figuratively, I hate myself a little. Regardless, there are lots of pretty free things. When you land at the store, you’ll be in front of the most recent group gifts. But turn around and there’s a little building overflowing with more group gifts. The majority of them are for the Hilly Haalan group, which is free to join. The rest are for other groups, many of which are also free to join.

Rozina

The dress that I’m wearing today is one of the free gifts for the Hilly Haalan group. I looooove the bow on the back, so I pretended to watch an airplane take off so that I could show it to you. I’m very sneaky like that. The front is lovely too – it has a plunging neckline and is gathered prettily at the waist. There are sizes for:

• Hourglass
• Fitmesh
• Maitreya
• Physique
• 5 standard sizes, XXS-L

Sorry and you’re welcome for all of the awesome clothes you’re about to add to your inventory! ❤

Daydreaming of Lisa Frank

Hello hello Fab Free! Summer in the southern part of the U.S. (and just about everywhere else from what I understand) has become synonymous with blazing heat. It’s hot out ya’ll! It’s easier to stay cool when you can lounge in the shade wearing a cute little summer dress and open-toe shoes. Both these summer wardrobe essentials are free group gifts you won’t want to miss.

The Dress – Hilly Haalan has more than one free group gift available. The dress Pru has on is the “Debbie” dress. It comes in several sizes, and includes a texture change hud with quite a few graphic tee style options and an equal number of solid colors to choose from. The Hilly Haalan group is also free to join at this time. This fun yellow version with the leopard spots made me instantly think of Lisa Frank. Don’t know who Lisa Frank is? Google her. You’re welcome in advance for all the colorful rainbow goodness. P.S. There’s a copy of the original vendor ad for the Debbie dress toward the bottom of the post.
Sizes Included: Maitreya Lara, Slink (Physique, Hourglass), Belleza (Freya, Isis, Venus)

The Shoes – These fierce looking purple shoes from Heels are almost as hot as the weather! I kind of want to wear them with everything. The Heels by Morgan W. group is free to join at the moment. These shoe come in the deep purple color shown with a few size options.
Sizes Included: Belleza, Maitreya, Slink

Discoveries at Dawn

Hello Fabulouses!  I hope you had a lovely Sunday.  Before the weekend is over, I want to tell you about two group gifts that I came across early this morning in my SL travels.  Although I chose white for the dress, it comes with a texture HUD packed with 15 options, including prints and solids, so it’s very versatile!

Dress to Impress

The free Katie Dress from Hilly Haalan Fashions features a sleeveless design with loosely draping fabric which is gathered at the waist with a belt.  A v-shaped neckline and a small gathered section in the skirt add visual interest.  I really like the soft shimmering texture of each of the solid colored options for the fabric, and look forward to trying out the pretty floral prints, too.  The belt is colorized separately from the body of the dress, which really adds to the variety of looks you can create.  The gift package includes versions for a variety of mesh avatars (no classic fits).  To pick up this free July gift for yourself, simply teleport over to the shop, activate the Hilly Haalan Fashions group tag (it’s completely free to join), and click the vendor.

Mesh Body Compatibility:

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

Fabulous Shoes That Can Lift Your “Sole”

Of course, what would a new dress be without a pair of heels to go with it?  Selene Creations has you covered with their free July group gift, which is a strappy pair of sexy high heels.  With plenty of wiggle room for your toes and a criss-cross design, these ivory shoes would challenge my navigational skills in real life with their high, narrow heels, but in Second Life, walking and even running in them is a piece of cake!  The package includes Belleza, Maitreya and Slink fits.  You do have to be a member of the Selene Creations group to receive these, and joining costs 100L, but they are just so pretty!  Here’s a close up so you can get a better look at them:

I’m off to finish exploring Snuggles Forest with Ripley.  Until my next post, happy shopping!

Coffee Helps

Hey hi hello Fab Free’rs! It’s true what the sign says “Life happens, coffee helps.” At least that has been my experience. If you’re a coffee drinker like myself, there’s a lot to love about this cute decorative rug group gift from Zen Creations. I’m also really enjoying this top. It’s one of three recent group gifts at Hilly Haalan. Keep reading for all the info about these fabulous freebies!

The Rug – This fur rug is a FREE group gift from Zen Creations. The coffee and the pen have poses attached to them. The rug will give you a pen prop or a coffee mug to hold depending on which pose you choose. I just used my own pose to take this photo. The Zen Creations group is FREE to join.

The Top – Hilly Haalan has 3 FREE group gifts out, and this fun warm weather top is one of them. The top comes in several mesh sizes and has a color/texture change hud with tons of options. This particular option just seemed to suit my mood at the moment! There are graphic print options as well as solid colors. The Hilly Haalan group is FREE to join, so do not miss this! Also, there is an alpha layer included so this top is suitable for classic avatars.

In Hindsight

Sometimes all you have is hindsight

In hindsight…  This is what I should have done when the snowflakes started to fall.  I am so very jelly of the people that pack up in October and head south for the whole winter season!  Hang in there Northerners…  There are just three short months of this icy freezing mess to go (maybe four :/)!

Hopeful Visualization

As I was imagining myself getting the heck out of winter dodge, I was stylin in my new Maggie Gee Outfit by Hilly Haalan that I had just picked up at The Free Dove as a free group gift.  The Maggie Gee outfit can be worn all in one piece as a set or you can wear the jacket or skirt as separates.  Probably the most exciting news about this gift is that it comes with a 30 texture option HUD so you the fashion opportunities are endless!  The Free Dove group is free to join and as I am sure you already know from previous posts on FabFree that there is a massive amount of freebies to be had in that building.

Sizes Included:

• Entire Outfit XXS-L Mesh + Alpha Layer
• Solo Skirt XXS-L Mesh + Alpha Layer
• Solo Jacket XXS-L Mesh + Alpha Layer

btw…  Also in hindsight, I am so glad I took a trip down to The Free Dove, because it had been a few weeks since my last visit and there are plenty of new items!
