Time Out for a Sweet Treat

Happy Saturday, Fabulouses!  Ripley and I decided to celebrate the weekend by making a special trip out for some ice cream.  It’s too hot here in RL to have ice cream outside, but fortunately, it’s never too hot in SL for some icy goodness!

I Think My Best Days Are Spent in Cropped Tops

The summery Lili bralet that I am wearing is a free gift for members of the Miss Chelsea group.  Although the group has a 100L join fee. there are still two other group gifts set out for members as well.  This cropped top comes complete with a 16 color texture change HUD, so it’s like getting sixteen tops in one.  In my photo, I paired Lili with a mid length skirt (more on that in a moment), but I also experimented with a full length maxi skirt and a pair of casual capris, and the top coordinated beautifully with each!  I love how the criss cross straps in the front add visual interest.    On a side note, from now until July 5th, Miss Chelsea is having a 50% off Summer Sale on all items excluding gift cards and gachas.

Mesh Body Compatibility:

• Freya
• Isis
• Maitreya
• Slink Hourglass
• Slink Physique

The Whole Caboodle

For my photo, I chose to pair my bralet top with a mid length skirt, which is a free group gift from Caboodle.  A 25L group join fee gives you access to 11 group gifts plus 8 lucky boards.  Although I am sporting a black pencil skirt today, the free package also includes red and white versions.  With realistic folds, a ruffled hem, and a satiny sheen, the texture on this frock is spot on.  It’s perfect for an afternoon of shopping or a day at the office.

Mesh Body Compatibility:

• Hourglass
• Maitreya
• Physique

Well, I’d better finish my half of the cone before it melts (yes Ripley, the other half is yours!).  I hope you have a chance to carve out some time for a sweet treat for yourself this weekend.  Until my next post, happy shopping!

The Meadow Makes it All Better

Hello Fabulouses!  It’s almost Friday….phew!  After spilling my drink on my keyboard (not recommended by the way!), and a trip out in the heat to buy a replacement, Ripley and I really needed a walk across a cool, green meadow.  Lucky for us, we found the perfect spot for a relaxing stroll on the Lemon Beach sim.  I felt the stress of the day fade away with each step on the springy grass.  Now, this is the way to end the day!

Just One Little Linden

While browsing the Marketplace, I came across a sweet deal to share with you today.  My form fitting, fitted mesh mini dress can be yours for just one linden dollar at the Avale shop on the Marketplace.  With a plunging neckline, narrow shoulder straps, and a realistic texture, this dress is sure to be a summer favorite of mine.  In addition to the milky white version I chose to wear today, a texture change HUD allows you to select red or black as well.  I really like the way my shoulders are free to soak in some summer sunshine with my new frock.

Mesh Body Compatibility:

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

Hopefully, liquids will stay far away from my new keyboard…. I’d rather remain indoors in the air conditioning, and out of rush hour traffic.  Until my next post, happy shopping!

I wasn’t exactly dressed for adventuring…

I wasn’t exactly dressed for adventuring… after all I was in my 10L Emerald Couture Dk Olive Bloom dress from the Cart Wash Sale with its asymmetrical hem and floral material…

Even if it did come in all the following sizes…

• Standard mesh XS – XL
• Fitmesh XS-XL
• TMP
• Ebody
• Tonic – Fine & Curvy
• Maitreya – Lara
• Slink – Hourglass & Physique
• Belleza – Freya, Isis, & Venus

… I wasn’t exactly dressed for adventuring… wearing my 10L Emerald Couture Dk Olive heels from the Cart Wash Sale (which fit Slink, TMP, Maitreya, and Belleza feet)… but that didn’t stop me.

I knew when I saw the sign on that airplane that someone had spray painted, “Do epic shit” that it was time to step out of my comfort zone and step into adventure… even if I was wearing a dress. So I crossed through the broken down fence to the crash site and wandered in.

Once inside, I explored the wreckage. It was littered with “treasures” and things I wanted to see. There was some graffiti that caught my eye and seemed important to remember: “We all bleed the same colour.” Yeah… isn’t that the truth. So many forget that in their everyday lives as they walk down the street. It’s a good motto to live under the moon by.

It had me fingering my new free texture change Lotus Moon necklace from Moondance Boutique. It was part of a matched set that included earrings too… as well as a bunch of beautiful rings, but I’d left the rings at home. I managed to get it as a group gift (the group was free to join) and I was tickled pink about it…

… even if I wasn’t dressed for adventure.

Never Runaway From A Good Lovesong

Good morning Fabulous Readers! Today I bring you two marvelous bits of news I hope you’ll be happy to hear about.

The First Bit – Who Doesn’t Love A Good Lovesong?

Lamb inworld group members are being spoiled with a new group gift.  With your inworld group tag activated above your head, you can head to the mainstore and pick up the new Lovesong hairstyle for free and in a complete fatpack of colours!  Lovesong is a long, flowy style, bobby pinned at the side to keep the hair out of your eyes.  There is also a previously given out group gift still on the shelf as well [Blogged Here].  This group is 100L to join, but with two fatpacks of really great hair available, it’s a steal!

The Second Bit – Sn@tch News

Sn@tch has some big changes going on at their shop this month as they are moving to a new building.  They will be retiring some of the older items and are hosting a huge clearance sale until the end of the month.  If you have a peek around the store, you’ll find all kinds of discounts, some ridiculously low!  There are three new Riot Vendor items too, and my sexy Runaway Plaid Lingerie as shown in my photo is one of them.

If you are unfamiliar with how a Riot Vender works, basically the more people standing around the vendor, the lower the price goes!  So TP in your friends, call the Sn@tch group members down and watch the numbers drop – sometimes below 50L even!

The Runaway Plaid Lingerie comes in a fatpack of eight colours and is compatible with the system body and includes Omega Appliers.

Five Years With FabFree! Where Does The Time Go?

Well, I can hardly believe it, but today’s date marks 5 whole years of blogging with FabFree!  For a little bit of a flashback, I went back in time and dug up my first FabFree Post.  If you’d like a little giggle from 2011 – you can find it [HERE].  Many aspects of FabFree and Second Life itself have changed in leaps and bounds over the last five years, but one thing remains the same for me…  It is still a real pleasure to log in and draft a blog project!

Today I have the pleasure of showing off a super cute free gift by Tres Blah @ Collabor 88 in celebration of SLB13!  You’ll find the Tres Blah Ruffled Crop Tank Top amongst a sea of cakes in the center of the C88 building.  This gift includes fits for Maitreya Lara, Slink Hourglass and Slink Physique.  I am wearing Navy for this shot, but there are eight colours to choose from in the included HUD.

Island Hopping

Happy Monday, FabFree-ers!

It’s always a good day, Monday or not, when I find an exciting new Sim to explore. And when that Sim is running a fun free little hunt with nifty prizes it really makes my day! I visited Noelia island today for their ‘Noelia Island Hunt’ and had a wonderful time. There aren’t hidden objects for this hunt, you go around the island ‘talking’ to people and animals who give you a gift and a notecard with the next clue. I had a lot of fun. Plus one of the Hunt gifts is this snazzy dress and hat from Prism. This is ‘Coco by Journey’ and you get the top and skirt as one piece plus the hat. Coco comes in the standard Mesh sizes XXS-L and has a good alpha layer. The hat is optional and can be moved/modified for the perfect fit.

The Hunt runs until June 30 but Noelia Island is a lovely place to get to know. I have a feeling I’ll be visiting often. Your Taxi to the start of the Hunt!

Fresh New Spring

I’ve got more Spring Freshness Cart Sale goodies today, FabFree-ers!

This is from  new-to-me designer, Hasi’s cart. I love the soft colors and textures, the build is spot on too. I’m wearing the ‘Spring Dress Flower’ along with the ‘Spring Leggings’. The dress comes in the standard Mesh sizes XS-XL and also SLink, Maitreya and Belleza appliers. The leggings come in the standard Mesh sizes XXS-L and have their own alpha layer. I really like how these two items go together and both are priced at only 10L each!

Speaking of going together, look at these lovely nails. This is ‘Country Bloom’ set from La Boheme’s Cart. The delicate floral polish comes in a range of ten pastel colors with appliers for SLink, Maitreya and Omega. I think it matches perfectly!

The Spring Freshness Cart Sale at the Wash runs until March 30th so don’t delay!

Key Thing

Heyya FabFree-ers! Happy Weekend!

 

I’m using my weekend off time to do some Hunting and I found this cute casual look I had to share. Thanks to the 1L ‘Key to my Heart’ Hunt from Perfect Seduction, I found a new to me designer : Kustom Kulture.  And that’s where I found this great casual Valentine’s sweater. The ‘Off Shoulder Sweater’ comes in Mesh sizes XXS-L and includes appliers for Maitreya and SLink mesh bodies.

My cute purse is from Grumble. This is the heart Purse in red and it’s also on the Key to my Heart prize list. The details are really nice and smooth and it comes with a hold animation.

The Key To My Heart Hunt runs until February 16th for your hunting pleasure.
