Hot in the City

Summer time in the city calls for cool outfits, and cool attitudes.  With summer heat warnings in effect in my part of the world, all I can do is stare gratefully at my air conditioner.  SL-me is being more adventurous and heading out into the city, ready to cause a ruckus and look cool while she’s at it!

Smug Mug

I’m sending you all over the place today to get some fun group gifts to put together a cute outfit that’s right for turning heads on the hot tarmac.  Your first stop is Mug where their latest group gift is a fun little tube top.  It comes with several different texture options that you can access from the HUD, and as with all Mug offerings the sizing options are accessed through the HUD as well.  To get this cute top (and the other group gifts) just join the Mug group for 250L.

Sizes

• Maitreya
• V-Tech
• Sking (Katena)
• Freya
• Legacy

Sneaky!

Quinnty’s has a new group gift out too, and it’s these colourful sneakers. They  have a wide range of different texture options as well, ranging from 80’s fabulous to patriotic.  To get them, join the Quinnty’s group for 50L and then pay the vendor 1L which will then be returned to you.  There are lots of fun group gifts to be had at this stop, so make sure you pick them all up!  The shoes come sized for Belleza, eBody, Legacy, Maitreya, Signature, Slink and Tonic.

Nailed It!

This month’s group gift from Rosary is something a little different – mesh nails!  They come in three length options from short to extra-long.  I went for the middle length option, but as you can see they’re still pretty long!  They come with an HUD to change the colour and work with Belleza, Maitreya, Legacy and Slink hands!  The Rosary group is currently 350L to join, and you’ll find older group gifts available to pick up here as well.

While you’re at it, if you’re a Maitreya body user you should pick up a redelivery (you can get that through the Maitreya HUD) as the body has recently been updated to version 5.2!

Stay cool Fab Fam!

The Maple Leaf Forever

Happy Canada Day Fab Fam!  I’m all about the Red, White and Red today, happy to celebrate this awesome land!  As is my tradition, I always throw a bunch of  Canadian stereotypes your way on July 1st, so hold on to your beavertails, because it’s going to be an h-e-double-hockey-stick of a ride, eh!

Sorry!

For our maple-syrup guzzling contest (which of course is tradition on Canada Day), as well as for our moose-wrangling competition, you’ll need the perfect Canadian shirt!  Over at The Annex, they’ve got you covered with a free group gift!  On joining their free group, you gain access to this cute and clearly Canadian top which was made especially for chasing raccoons away from your poutine!  If you’re looking for some American-style celebratory gear, they’ve got a bunch for the 4th as well.

Sizes

• Freya

We the North

This little Canadian headband is courtesy of Sugarplum Boutique!  They’re getting you ready for all the festivities (which of course are socially distanced this year), with excellent Maple Leaves to catch any lumberjack, Mountie or sexy Prime Minister’s attention.  They only cost 10L on Marketplace!  So cool!

Well my friends, I hope that this little foray into Canadian craziness has amused you all!  To all my fellow Canucks out there, Happy Canada Day and may the butter tarts be ever in your favour!

Imperfection is Key

In the 90’s, it was always super important to me that my hair was absolutely flat and straight.  No “pouffiness” here, thank you very much!  As time went on, I learned to embrace a bit of the wild curl and the untamed mane.  Though my hair today can hardly be considered untamed, I know that back in the day the little flip up would have driven me mad.  Nowadays, I like a bit of madness and imperfection!

Sweet Bonbons

There’s a new group gift over at Bonbon!  This cute hairdo is free for members of the Bonbon group.  To get in on this flipped ends goodness, just join for 99L.  There are a bunch of fun gifts on the wall there, making the fee quite worth it.  With this style, the option to remove the bangs as well as one errant strand is up to you.  This look comes in a full fatpack of colours as well!  Cute!

Pass the Salt

Salt & Pepper have also updated their gift for the SLFO group.  This little top comes in 12 different satiny shades which you can dress up or down to your heart’s content!  The SLFO group is free to join, making this little top completely free!

Sizes

• Freya

Imperfection is key, I always say!

Miss Caroline is to blame for this amazing galpal gathering for The Liquid Lunch Date. She so cleverly persuaded me to get out of my bubble and interact with other humans. I can’t thank her enough for it either because this picture is worth a billion words that sing to my heart! It marks my official welcome into the blogger’s circle that I have craved to be in for 3 years now.
Aline is the sweetest woman I’ve been honored to meet, her running the FabFree group and blog must be two full-time jobs in itself. She does it with ease and grace I am honored she took a chance on me.
Pru gosh between her and rainbows/butterflies, I wouldn’t know why anyone would pick rainbows or butterflies! Pru has always been so amazing with her photos and friendship with me, that I couldn’t ask for a better idol to look up too.
Caroline is a loving, out of the box type woman who has always had kind loving words to share with me and is very helpful with everything she does. She told me about the MadPea Float and I was flabbergasted and needed it asap! She brought me right to it and She has never failed to be nothing but a kind, loving friend who the group would have a hole in if she wasn’t here.

Only Juli was missing from our little blogger gathering – but we’ll get her in there next time!

Let’s GAB about this free swimsuit I’m wearing from Dead Dollz, it has a very lovely tropical vibe with bright colors (GREEN) featuring some cute Flamingos that are perfect for this summer. You can get it free at the SecondLife Birthday 17 Shop & Hop and time is almost running out so make sure you get all your lovely gifts and celebrate!

Silene Swimsuit Fits:

• Maitreya

Next up is this amazing free group gift from MadPea Rainbow Float that comes with poses for singles and couples. Past gifts are available as well with their free group, so I recommend you get there and get your beach on with some immeasurable friends and have some relaxation in the sun.

Make sure you check all the credits for additional Fab Finds!!

ROY G. BIV

Pride celebrations continue across the grid, and my collection of rainbows is growing by the day!  I’m enjoying draping myself in ROY G. BIV (please don’t make me explain that one…) and it’s giving my mood a much-needed boost!

Love is Love

Jackalope are having a little free mini hunt over at their store, and it’s filled to the brim with absolutely free clothing, accessories, poses and even a backdrop.  No need to join a group to get these goodies, just search the store for the little hidden rainbows.  Pay 0L for each one, and inside you’ll find something to boost your mood too!  I’m showing you the top, skirt, boots, belly chain and backdrop, but there is a lot more to be had.  I’ve included the vendor pic below so you can see what’s on offer!

Sizes

• Freya
• Hourglass
• Maitreya

Happy hunting!  You’ve got until July 5th!

Sharpened Pencils

It’s far too early in the year to feel this way, but this outfit is kind of giving me back to school vibes.  I’m sorry, really I am… But you know that whole feeling of new clothing, a hint of houndstooth, the promise of new adventures, and perfectly sharpened pencils.  I’m a sucker for that kind of thing, though I know that school has just ended (for the weirdest year ever).  Enjoy the summer, but if you are feeling a bit of nostalgia, I’ll tell you where you can grab it!

Mustard and Houndstooth

This sweet and vaguely reminiscent of “Clueless” outfit is courtesy of Luas‘ lucky boards.  They were recently updated with two cute outfits, this one being one of them!  The Luas group is 50L to join, and with that fee you’ll gain access to some awesome gifts, as well as these lucky boards.  A bit of patience is all that’s required after that – just wait for your letter to come up!

I Love it

There are so many things to show you from SL17B, that I couldn’t resist showing you this lovely hairstyle from Love.  It’s completely free, no group join required over at the Shop & Hop.  You’ve still got time to pick up goodies from this massive event, so grabbing this free fatpack of hair shouldn’t be too much of a chore.

I swear I’ll go back to thinking about summer real soon!

A Slice of Heaven

It’s one of those days where all I want to do is go out, buy ridiculous amounts of objects that I don’t really need, and then finish with a massive bowl of ice cream.  Doesn’t that sound wonderful?  I think everyone has their own idea of heaven, but that might just be one of my favourite iterations!

Gacha Good

Kustom9 is in full gear right now, and Amitomo are back at it with their newest gacha.  I can never resist playing the Amitomo gachas, because they really are a great deal.  You usually walk away from 1 or 2 plays with a full outfit, and with a bit of luck you often land the rares.  This has been my experience at the very least!  I promise that I only played this gacha three times (at 69L per pull) and I landed this full outfit (the dress, jacket, bags and ice cream, all with HUDs to customize the bags and ice cream, as well as the hand colour) as well as the rare hair.  In my books, that’s an awesome deal!  Plus…just look at it, how much more late 80’s early 90’s appealing can you get?  This fun outfit comes sized for Maitreya bodies and there are loads of different versions of the outfit you could end up with!  Check out the vendor pic below!

Good luck!
