Good evening Fabulouses! I found at The Fresh Style fashion room that there is a really generous free giftsitting in a bag right on the JK Style display! No need to even join a group, just pop on over and touch the gift and you’ll be sent a package that includes the Stacia Prints Set that includes the mesh jeans and matching sweater, plus a texture change hud that allows for a few different changes! The Ashlyn Handbag is also included.
My Dia Boots are made for the Slink Flat Feet and can be found as a free group gacha prize at Pure Poison. The group is free to join. If you want more prints than the one you have received, you can play for the others in the non-group gacha machine for 50L per play.

This has been an extremely difficult post for me to write. In fact, it has taken me all week to finish it! The reason is because this will be my last post for FabFree… at least for a while. Some RL opportunities presented themselves to me a couple months ago, and I decided that the time was right for me to pursue them. Unfortunately, this means I will no longer be able to keep up with the busy FabFree blogging schedule. :-( But who knows… I may turn up in a guest post once in a while. And I may be back if/when RL settles down. What I know for certain is that I will really miss this fabulous group of bloggers, and I will truly miss all of you wonderful readers.
Ok, enough mush. I wanted to leave you with a special post, so here goes! :-) My pretty, green dress is the latest subscriber gift from DaneMarkZ. I really like the texture and the summery “feel” to it. And this gorgeous ponytail hair is the latest group gift from LeLutka. You get a huge fatpack of colors, so you’re sure to find one you like!
This creamy skin is Glam Affair’s Livy in the Arctic 05 flavor. You can try your luck to win her for 100L at The Arcade Gacha. My pretty jewelry is a group gift from Baby Monkey, and includes the earrings, necklace, and ring, as well as a HUD with 9 different textures. The applier for my nails is a subscriber gift from {Wicked} Peach, and it includes 6 textures for fingers and toes.
N-Core Design recently put out these gorgeous shoes as a group gift. The heel is texture-change, and of course, you can change your pedicure. N-Core shoes come with their own feet, but the skin matching system is pretty awesome. I had no trouble at all matching to my pale Glam Affair skin, although I did have to play with the sizing a teensy bit. The water fountain in the background is a group gift from [we’re CLOSED], and my cute Frenchie pup can be found in a gacha at The Chapter Four (Love showed the cream-colored pup, as well as the Dandelion and Bumblebee Fairies here).
A few decor items of note… the burger and lemonade meal is a group gift from ISPACHI. You must join the Love to Decorate group to get it (sign is next to the gift). The table, chair, and wall art are a group gift from *ionic*. Both groups are free to join, and there are other gifts for you to snap up while you are in the stores. The Fairy Terrarium and the box with the clipboard, magnifying glass, etc., are also from the Ohmai fairy gacha at The Arcade. The pretty pink rose bush behind the chair is by StoraxTree for The Pier Market. And the payphone on the wall is from the .floorplan. gacha at Kustom9.
Another view here. Both the record player and the vintage camera are from The Arcade.
I won’t say good-bye, but I will say “until next time.” Be good to each other, and remember to always stay fabulous! :-D
The Chapter Four is celebrating it’s 1st Anniversary and as a special treat to the The Chapter Four Group Members, almost every designer participating has placed a free group giftfor this round! I have put together a couple of very eclectic photos to display to you most of the gifts, but the gifts are not limited to the items listed here, there are a few more! Thank you to Briony Stonewulf for sending me an IM to let me know about all of these fabulous free finds!!

I hope everyone is having a great weekend.. Can’t believe Christmas and New Year are over! Where did it go? I spent today taking down the decorations and packing up the tree for another year. Its always sad when all the sparkling lights vanish. I just might have to find some fairy lights for all year around!
I took a break to grab a cup of coffee and find some great freebies and deals around the grid that I could tell you about before I go back and finish off packing up Christmas!

One of my favourite things to do in SL is decorating homes. While I was at The Chapter Four earlier today, I decided to try for the Rare prize that was in the gacha from *ionic* .. and I was entirely shocked when I managed to win it after only a couple of attempts. I loved it so much I decided to dress it up and use it as a backdrop for my pictures today. I managed to find some beautiful bargain furnishings to brighten it up!

The Chapter Four has opened its doors once more so all you gacha-gladiators, discount-dominators and cheapie-champions best get your warpaint on and head on over! As always, there’s a new group gift for each round. This time it’s this adorable floral dress and I can tell you now I don’t want to take it off at all. The house, table and photo frames are from the ionic gacha machine at TCF and my angel chairs which you can just see behind the curtains are from Half Deer and are also available at the event!
My cute minty flats are 10L$ on the marketplace by Just Dreaming and I figured they brought out the little green leaves in the dress quite nicely. Also available on the marketplace is my necklace which Love covered here.
Yesterday I mentioned I got a free skin from My Ugly Dorothy, well today I’ve found some pretty freckle and blush tattoo layers from a new skin shop that just opened up called Lemomo. They have 3 freebies on their wall along with 3 dollarbie walking sound effects and their skins are just so adorable and sweet! You can get the berry freckles tattoo, the ‘I luv you’ blush tattoo and the happy blushing tattoos for 0L$ instore. The skin I’m wearing to show these off is not free, just so you know.

OoOoOoO This is a fantastic hunt that just makes me feel SO SPRINGY with all of the gorgeous gifts being themed in a sweet shade of lavender :) The Lavender Hill Hunt is put on by Monochrome Hunts and runs from February 25th – March 10th. Each prize is 5L and the icon you are looking for is a lavender coloured swatch. There are approximately 20 stores participating in this hunt – so you’ll be done in a jiffy!
You can find a complete participating shop listing with hints, an example of the hunt icon as well as a prize preview.
Below you will see me lounging in the plush Marguerite Armchair in Moonlit Lavender that can be found at Senzafine. It has 10 single animations and has a LI of 15. The eclectic wall art collection behind me is the gift you will find at *Ionic* and has a land impact of 8. My stunning lavender mesh maxi dress (*SQUEALS*) is the hunt prize at Intrepid.
At Pure Poison, you can find these cute little mesh lavender earrings, and the makeup tattoo is courtesy of Adore & Abhor. The make up set from A&A includes two eyeshadows and a lipstick tattoo, however I am just wearing one of the eyeshadow tattoos.

How’s that for a fairly quick hunt filled with super prizes? :)
The Twisted Hunt is one of the darker hunts in Second Life.. it is also one of the hardest, if not THE hardest. The theme for the hunt is “Darkness” and there are 194 stores of madness, torture and twisted torment, guarenteed to drive you insane before you finish it. Be sure to read this all before you start hunting, it will save you valuable hair pulling time. I know its alot to read, but it will be worth it I promise.
Ok, first be warned, there are mazes, decoys, mini games and all kinds of devious confusion along the way. There is traditionally no hunt blog for this one, but you can see the Participating Merchants list to help you if you get stuck and want to move on. You can also join the Twisted Hunt group in world where you can ask the Hint Givers for help. In short, if you want the prizes, you are going to have to be prepared to work for it.
As part of the fun there are also gatchas at some stores aswell as mini hunts, sales, special offers and all kinds of other things going on. Be sure to click the Easel at each store for more information about whats happening.
One thing to bear in mind is that gifts will be within 30 meters from the landing point unless there are more than one prize, then only one will be within 30 meters and the others could be anywhere else inside or outside of the store. There are also Petite prizes in some stores. These will have a letter P in the title so you know the difference.
Ok enough pre-amble, on to some of the gifts you can find along the path to crazy town.. Insanity awaits.. Your starting point is at The Twisted Headquarters.
In this post I will show you about the Buildings and Furnishings you can find in the hunt.. clothing and other things will be seperated into another post to make it easier for you to read about.
The first picture shows you what you are looking for. The Twisted Lament Box coloured Blue, usually spinning.
