Girls Don’t Like Boys

Girls like Cars and Money

Yes, I indeed brought it back to 2002! When Good Charlotte sang those magical words I was just like every other fangirl out there drooling over the band members, dreamy bad boy looks, and their catchy pop-rock lyrics. I remember listening and memorizing all the words as a 20-year-old living in Vegas and loving the dry desert air. Before I jump into a timewarp machine and go back to revisit my youth I’m going to jump in this sexy beast of a car and take it for a test run, so I’ll leave you with all the details ❤ Happy Shopping!

Asty Custom Auto has this pretty rad car on the marketplace for free! All those car-loving women out there should go grab their own! It’s driveable and you can also leave it out as decoration, or to just show it off to your friends. Coming with four color options and a few instructions for our first-time drivers out there.

Masenka has this very hot outfit on the shop’s marketplace for L$1. I know! We all love our Dollarbies, well I know I do. This one is perfection dripping in red leather! Sadly for most out there, it only is available for Maitreya, I know, but for those who have it, should really go and click to snag this skirt and top. I was playing around with different clothing options I have and the red matches quite of few “popular” shop item palettes.

While floating around the Marketplace I happened to trip over these heels from Legendaire for L$49 you get 20 color options to choose from. The very simple heel can go with almost every outfit you have going on and is a great addition to your shopping cart!

Heels Fit:

• Slink
• Maitreya
• Belleza

TGIF! Time to Celebrate!

Hey FabFree! Thank goodness it’s Friday! I am psyched for this weekend and to have fun in SL and RL! Are you ready to have fun this weekend?

A Fab Friday Treat at Narcisse

The store Narcisse is offering a new promotion called “TGIF” where every Friday, if you are a member of their VIP group you will be able to grab an exclusive gift. The gift for this week is the “Sally Dress”. It is super cute, has a 12-colour texture HUD which can be used to change the colour of the main body and the ruffle skirt the bottom of the dress. It is available until Sunday. To find the gift, search for the dress in the store and click the “fatpack” sign with your group tag active. It will send the fatpack to you, no charge! It’s a great deal, and makes the group join fee of the group well worth it, which is 200 Linden. In addition to this offer, there is a large wall of group gifts which you can pick up while you visit.  

Sizes included

The Sally dress is Maitreya fit only. Most of the gifts at Narcisse are fitted for Maitreya and/or Slink.

Have a fabulous weekend, FabFree!

Birds of a Feather

In my experience old saying “Birds of a Feather Flock Together” is true. Love and I may be a little opposite in some ways, but we are definitely birds of a feather in all the ways that matter.

Helping us show off our friendship status is this free “Besties” tee at Legendaire. The t-shirt is a free gift, with no group needed waiting on a table just inside the Legendaire main entrance. It comes in a few sizes including standard mesh and an alpha layer for classic avatars, and has 2 color/texture change huds. There is one hud for each half of several best friends themed graphics like the “Best Bitches” version Love and I are wearing. I hope you have as much fun with this freebie as we did. Happy Shopping!

Fab Free Designer of the Week – Legendaire

 

Hello Fab Free! It’s time for another edition of “Fab Free Designer of the Week.” For this post we are happy to feature Legendaire. I have to say, shopping at Legendaire feels almost like an event. There are so many things happening, it’s a party, and I for one am here for it! Legendaire specializes mostly in women’s fashion, including shoes, and accessories. The style is very feminine with pretty prints and bright colors. There’s also a small section of menswear on the second floor.  There are also a few non-clothing items as an example I even saw a car for sale! 

Before you head upstairs however, there are freebies and group gifts waiting for you just inside the Legendaire entrance. Right inside there are two tables with free gifts. These gifts are completely free, no group needed. Then on one of the square pillars you’ll see all the store affiliated groups and their gifts. Some of which are also free with the required group tag. This is where you’ll find the Fab Free group gift at Legendaire for example. Just wear your Fabulously Free in SL group tag and click the little black gift bag with the Fab Free sign on it. The Fab Free group is of course free to join.

On the side of the same pillar you’ll find two of the Legendaire group gifts. The Legendaire group has a one-time join fee of 49 linden. Additionally you’ll see a teleporter that will take you to the Legendaire outlet/discount area with even more Legendaire group gifts and discounted items. Don’t miss these awesome finds at Legendaire, happy shopping!

A Chill Moment

Hello there, Fabulous Readers!  I’m popping in with a quick post tonight to share a super cute casual summer outfit that I picked up over at Legendaire for just 29L.  This little gem is an offering for the Queen Sale and includes texture change HUDs for the pants and top, which both include 8 options for customization.   The shirt (which comes in solid colors) has a sheer hem section, halter style neck strap, and a sweet tie in back to hold it all in place.  The trousers feature vibrant prints, a string tie waist band, and a close cut, figure flattering style.  A pair of white and pink heels complete the outfit, but do not come with a HUD for changing colors.  They look great with the rose and pink options for the clothing, but I didn’t really think they went with the blue floral pants, so I opted not to wear them for my photo.  Although no classic avatar version is included in the package, popular mesh body styles are tucked inside.  I’m not sure how much longer the sale will last, so if you like the Alana Outfit as much as I do, I’d recommend a quick trip over to the shop to pick up a copy for yourself.

Mesh Body Compatibility:

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

The pupster is feeling a bit under the weather today as he had surgery to remove a tumor over the weekend.  He is really despising the dreaded “Cone of Shame,” but I keep telling him it’s for his own good.  He insisted he cannot eat or drink while wearing it, and promised he would leave his stitches alone, so I relented and took off the offending wardrobe accessory.  However, I caught him trying to lick his incision, so back on went the “lampshade.”  He refuses to show his face for photo ops until after his stitches are removed.  The poor guy.  He hasn’t yet seen his shaved spot … and I don’t have the heart to tell him about it.

Until next time, happy shopping!

Watch the night go up in smoke

Happy 4th of July to my fellow Americans! Forgive me for using a title from a British band, surely that’s un-patriotic on a day like today. haha But I absolutely love Def Leppard and I went to their show last night so I couldn’t help myself. Anyway. I already went on about how much I love the 4th of July in my last post on the subject so I’ll spare you today. I took a trip to the boardwalk last time and now I’m at the place where all of the independence Days of my youth were spent – the lake. And obviously I’ve got freebies to show you!

Bikini

My bikini is a free group gift by Legendaire. It is not one of the newer group gifts, it’s on the wall in the back with aaaaall of the other older (but still fabulous!) gifts. Hopefully my slurl will lead the way to where you need to go. The Legendaire VIP group is 49L to join and there are lots and lots of nice gifts, you’ll literally be unpacking for days! And by literally, I mean figuratively. The bikini is one piece and also comes with a really cute little robe (blue with white stars). Both are sized for:

• Belleza Freya, Isis, and Venus
• Maitreya
• Slink Houglass and Physique
• 5 Standard sizes XL-XS

Sparkler

I love this sparkler from peaches! I’m going the walk around all day holding it, just see if I don’t! There are options to change the color, turn it on and off, or set the duration. Oh and it has some poses too that let you wave it around which I’m not using. It is a free group gift and the .peaches. group is free to join.

Pose

This great pose is a free group gift from K&S and the group is free to join. My animations folder is out of control but I can’t help it, I love poses soooo much. If you feel the same way that I do then you can run on over and add this to your collection!

 

Alright, I guess that’s enough from me. I’m going to run off to blow something up and kiss a bald eagle. ‘Merica! Happy 4th!

London Calling

I found a fantastic outfit at The Wash Cart Sale – and it put me in the mood for the swinging 60’s.  Whenever I think about that, I imagine London, England.  You know, Carnaby Street and Mary Quant and Miniskirts.  I hear the sounds of The Beatles in my mind, and I totally want a giant pile of chips.  Though I think the chips thing is completely unrelated (seriously though, if you’ve never had fish & chips in England from a chip shop, you need to do it because your life will be altered forever… so so gooood).  Anyway,  I found the nearest red post box and struck a pose!

Be Legendaire

At The Wash Cart Sale, I found the booth by Legendaire which is filled with fashion-forward goodness.  This skirt and top combo cost me 10 measly Lindens, and is super versatile.  Of course, you can wear them separately, but they also come with various different textures that range from psychedelic to demure.  There’s even a jean option in there.  So Good!

Sizes

• Freya
• Isis
• Venus
• Maitreya
• Hourglass
• Physique
• XXS – L with an Alpha

Extend Your Empire

To very little fanfare, Empire’s May group gift appeared in the main store.  It’s these cute bootie-style heels complete with fishnet features.  I really think you could make these work in loads of different situations.  You may know that the Empire group is somewhat expensive at 500L to join, but there are still a bunch of gifts out to make up for the join fee, including shoes, boots and clothing.  The word on the street is that last year’s gifts will be disappearing soon, so if you’re planning on joining, I suggest you do it soon!  These shoes come with loads of colour options, and are sized for Belleza, Maitreya and Slink.

I need to find some chips now.  SEND HELP!

A Crown of Daisies

Hello there, Fabulous Readers!  As the weekend is wrapping up, I wanted to pop in quickly and share a couple of Fabulous Finds with you.  I hope you like them as much as I do!

She Wore Flowers in Her Hair

Ripley and I headed over to the Medieval Fantasy Fair, and he helped me locate this free gorgeous Daisy Wreath.  The cheerful yellow flowers and bright green leaves lifted my spirits as soon as I put it on.  It fit perfectly over my Ophelia hair from Truth, but it comes with full editing rights, so you can stretch it if need be.  Best of all, once we located the hunt object, a moon with a star and a cloud, it was completely free.  The only cost was a little bit of our time spent searching…. which I didn’t mind at all.  After you arrive at the Fair, head to the Lunaria booth, and the prize is hidden inside.

Bold Floral Print

To coordinate with my lovely daisy crown, I wanted to find a yellow dress, and it took me a few days to settle on just the right frock.  Over at Legendaire, I spotted the Susan Maxi Dress, which comes with a texture change HUD packed with ten choices for the main body of the dress, and 20 options for the bodice section, all for just 59L.  With so many textures to choose from, it was like getting a whole bundle of dresses in one box.  A leather purse is also included, but I decided not to wear it for my photos.  Although I donned the mesh body version, the package also contains mesh for classic avatars as well.  I love wearing maxi dresses in RL, and was thrilled to find such a pretty one in my SL travels.

Sizes and Mesh Body Compatibility:

• Mesh in XXS, XS, S, M, and L
• Alpha layer for classic avatars
• Freya
• Isis
• Maitreya
• Slink Hourglass
• Slink Physique
• Venusen

I hope your week gets off to a fantastic start tomorrow.  It’s back to the grindstone for me, and back to guard dog duties for the pupster.  Sometimes I find myself wondering during the day exactly what he is doing.  I have a feeling he spends a lot of his time snoozing until the cats decide to have some fun.  One of my cats, Loki, seems to enjoy teasing poor Ripley from the other side of the gate.  It would be interesting to have a camera set up to catch some footage…

Until my next post, happy shopping!

Sidetracked by Naniamo Bars

Have You Had A Nanaimo Bar?

Seeing some Nanaimo Bars in the cafe at The Mill sim today while taking some photos made me wonder, just how many people from different countries know about Canada’s favourite confection…  This no-bake layered dessert bar named after the British Columbia city Nanaimo, is quite possibly the most deliciously sinful treat on the planet.  I don’t live any where near Nanaimo, but around the holidays these bars are in every bakery on every block, in every province (and apparently at The Mill too).  Here’s a link to a recipe if you’d like to whip up a batch wherever you are – NANAIMO BAR RECIPE.

So…  What I actually Came To Tell You About…

Legendaire put out a free gift for everyone!  There is no need to even join the group (unless you want to!) – The Ella Gift is priced at 0L at the main entrance on a decorative table.  The Ella Gift is the lovely belted coat you see me wearing today.  This gift comes with a texture change hud that allows for four different prints, and also includes a pair of heels for slink high feet!

What You’ll Find In Your Folder:

• XXS-L Mesh Ella Coat Dress + Alpha Layer
• Texture Change HUD – 4 prints
• Ella Heels (Slink High Feet)
