Cozy Summer

It’s Summer now, the season for backyard barbeques and escaping to the cottage. Hopefully some of you are enjoying some time outdoors! I’m sitting by the fire and cozy wrapped up in my blanket! Let’s just hope the mosquitos don’t bite. The Sylvia Bomber Jacket and Leggings is perfect for the outdoors, which is a super comfy set from Bumblebee. I purchased this with some free store credit at SL17B they are currently giving out, so read below for the details.

Bumblebee is giving out 300 free credits for all at their booth in SL17B. Simply click the large board in the stand to collect your gift card credit. The set I am wearing is one of their exclusive megapacks, four of which are being sold for 150L a piece at SL17B.

The Cutest Thing You’ve Ever Seen

Hey Fab Free! I have a really cute hunt and news about a free group join at Pink Cream Pie to share with you today. I will also be talking about two fabulous new group gifts at EscalateD.

Pink Cream Pie Free VIP Group Join

To start out, Pink Cream Pie ‘s VIP group is currently free to join for a limited time. This free join has been available for over a week, so make sure that you go grab this group ASAP! Included in the VIP group is access to all of the Pink Cream Pie past gifts. There are three years’ worth of past gifts upstairs (2017-2019), plus all the gifts from 2020. In addition to the group gifts, you can head over to the mystery gift giver at the front of the store and earn some prizes- even some free store credit. The gifts are super high quality and mega cute, so make sure you steal this great group while you can. Having the VIP group will also help you get the hunt items at their pride hunt discounted 100% in store credit!

PCP Pride Hunt

Pink Cream Pie is  having a pride hunt at their store until the end of June. You are looking for four little rainbow Pie guys (pictured in the vendor image below) hidden in the store, and inside each hunt object will be a hoodie, a top, leggings and sneakers. Each item is a special edition pride fatpack which comes in a variety of patterns and textures. Trust me, this is the cutest outfit ever when you put it all together. Each hunt prize cost 99L a piece,  but you will get 100% discount in store credit for every hunt item you purchase- as long as you have your Pink Cream Pie tag active as you purchase the hunt objects. Alternatively, you can purchase hunt items with the store credit you win from the mystery giver.

Sizes included (hoodie, top and leggings):

• Belleza Freya
• Maitreya
• Legacy

Sizes included (shoes):

• Belleza
• Maitreya
• Slink

Juniper & Candy

I am also wearing two amazing new group gifts at EscalateD. This is the Juniper hair, and I am using the Candy Universal HUD to get the beautiful gradient colour in the hair. Both the hair and the colour hud are new gifts at EscalateD‘s VIP group, which costs 99L to join.

Have fun finding this cute outfit, Fab Free!

Chillin’ in Camo

I hope you all had a great weekend, Fab Free! I escaped away to the cottage, and took this new free outfit from Merch with me. It seems to fit the mood of relaxation and wildlife that goes along with cottage life, don’t you think? One of my friends said that this camo jacket makes me look like a “redneck”- so I went with it and ventured off to the Canadian wilderness…(I am a Canuck, after all). I also have some free hair and poses to show off too!

Get some Merch

To get this outfit, simply head over the Merch and join their free group. It is their latest group gift, and the package includes a fatpack of tiny tanks, leggings and the camo jacket. You can mix and match the tank and leggings to suit your needs. This set could work for going to the gym or just vegging on the couch- have fun with it! There are several past group gifts at Merch which you can get for free while you’re there, so pick them up while you can.

Sizes Included (Top & Thermals)

• Maitreya
• Slink Hourglass
• Belleza Isis, Freya
• Legacy
• BBL

Sizes Included (Jacket)

• Maitreya
• Hourglass
• Freya

Escalated got a Makeover!

Escalated recently revamped their store and they have new free gifts for all and new gifts, MM boards and other offers for their group members. This cute hair, Cupid, is one of the gifts you can grab for for just 5L; no group is needed for this. The hair is really cute and you can change the hair colour, add highlights and more with the HUD included with it.

Yana

Finally, I wanted to let you all know that the chill poses I am showing off here are the Yana pose set which is currently a free group gift at Indigo. Simply join the free Manly Weekend group to get this gift, and you will receive the set of four poses. Most of them are intended for smoking poses (cigarette is not included), but simple standing poses are also included.

Enjoy, Fab Free!

Too Cool for School

High School was a while ago for me, I’ll admit, but I still love the idea of a slouchy outfit, a high ponytail and a backpack slung low.  It’s that feeling of promise and excitement that I’d like to capture today – that feeling of your life ahead of you, while still thinking you’ve already got it all figured out.  Plus, it’s just generally a cute look don’t you think?  Pack a lunch and read on so I can tell you all about it!

Hunt On

I jumped over to the Land of Rainbows, and had a grand old time hunting for eggs all around the beautiful sim.  This is a true egg hunt, wherein you just wander and try to find as many eggs as you can!  Much fun to be had, and the eggs are all free!  I picked up this fun slouchy sweatshirt with backpack attached by M&M Style in my searching, which comes with a texture change HUD that changes the colour of the sweatshirt (and adds some sayings to the front) as well as changing the colour of the backpack.

Sizes

• Freya
• Isis
• Venus
• Ebody
• Maitreya
• Ocacin
• Hourglass
• Physique
• TMP
• Tonic Curvy
• Tonic Fine
• XS – XL with an Alpha Layer

Don’t Stop!

The leggings are another awesome find on the Land of Rainbows hunt.  I found these pretty leggings (which also have a texture change HUD) hiding within an egg.  I think these will be super cute for lounging around, or for working out in style! And happily they’re free!  There are loads of lovely things to be had – you can also see what Kathryn and Stan found! The Land of Rainbows hunt runs until April 6th! Hop to it!

Sizes

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

See you kiddos later!

Waiting for Christmas…

Lost my Boots!

I lost my boots in a snow drift! Thankfully I have on my warm winter socks from Graffitiwear. Whew! These woolen beauties saved the day and are cozy too. And they come in sizes to fit…

• TMP
• Tonic
• Ocacin
• Maitreya
• Hourglass & Physique
• Freya, Isis, & Venus

They are a Christmas gift currently at the main-store. You’ll need your Graffitiwear group tag, but the group is only a mere 5L to join, and there are 3 other group gifts currently out to pick up, including a sweater and some stockings.

A Christmas Sweater

To top off my look, I hunted down the free Women Only Hunt prize from Pink Cream Pie. I was rewarded with this gorgeous sweater called the “Ugly Annie” sweater. How could they possibly call it ugly?! It’s amazing! It comes in sizes to fit Maitreya, Hourglass, Freya, and Isis.

Keep warm and cozy everyone!

The Chair…

I stopped by to visit my friend, the one I mention frequently and who’s furniture I envied in my post {HERE}. (I’m pretty sure you can still get that table and screen and decor if you’re a member of the L’Homme group by the way.) And he had out a chair that I had to try out. Then he informs me he got it as a free gift at an event where almost every booth has a free gift out! Of course I demanded a shopping excursion. Was it too much that I asked him to hold my purse? (Good thing I don’t usually carry a purse in Second Life).

So we made our way to “Shop ‘Till You Drop” and I ooo’ed and ahhh’ed at all the displays of wonderful shopping pleasures. I picked up free gifts as my shopping buddy hemmed and hawed (because of course he’d already been there and got all the goods).

But he was patient and I got my much awaited free gift chair by Chic Buildings! It has seven great poses and is low prim too! I’m showing off the pose called “monkey” in the picture above. You don’t even need a group for the free gifts at the event. Just buy the gifts that are out for 0L!

Another POE gift!

Serena showed you a gorgeous free POE Hunt gift from Prism in her post {HERE} but there are two (yes two!) POE Hunt gifts at Prism if you look! The second one is this dress I’m modeling called Sparkles by Journey. You can pick it up as part of the Hunt for free too! It has a sparkly gold turtleneck collar and sexy split sides and includes a color change hud for versatility!

Dress body compatibility included:

• Classic XXS – L
• Fitmesh
• Maitreya
• Slink – Hourglass & Physique

Hot Cocoa, Sweaters, and Boots Warm You Up

Sometimes a cup of hot cocoa is just the thing to warm you up on a cold winter’s day. Of course, warm clothing helps too! That’s why I love these free gifts I picked up and am going to share with you!

Snuggle up!

I picked up my snuggly sweater on the Women Only Hunt as the free gift from Perch. It comes in all your necessary sizes:

Available sweater sizes:

Shopping in Style

Phew! I decided to start my holiday shopping early… as in before waiting until Christmas Eve like I usually do. It was cold out so I bundled up and headed out with my purse in hand to check out the local shops. Always shop local I say! I love the deals you can get at the Mom & Pop stores. You just can’t beat hometown pride. I took a moment to rest on a park bench though because I’m looking for the perfect gift for a special friend and I just haven’t found it yet…

You can shop in style too! I picked up my coat dress with its matching handbag for free as part of the POE hunt from Glitterati. The dress has a classic look with a great nubbly texture that is very realistic. You’ll get classic mesh sizes XS – L with an alpha layer if you need it. I’m wearing the Maitreya body and had no problem fitting it with a medium and using my alpha system to cover up anything I needed to. It’s stylish and I love the embossed tan leather handbag that you get with it! All for free!

Keeping my Legs Warm

I needed something to keep my legs warm in cold air while I was shopping, so I checked the marketplace and found these beige leggings by Mette’s. They matched perfectly, came in appliers for Maitreya and Omega, and were only 25L! Now that’s a deal! It will leave me plenty of leftover spending money to buy a gift for my special friend.

Well, break’s over! Back to shopping! Have a great day FabFree Readers!

Backside

Hello Hello Fab Free’rs! I cannot believe July is almost to an end. It seems like the summer just began. I suppose that old saying “time flies when you’re having fun” really does ring true. I don’t know about ya’ll but I’ll be spending at least some of my Saturday picking up the last few July group gifts that I’ve yet to snag.

July at the EMPIRE

One of which is the July group gift at EMPIRE. I’ve been an EMPIRE fan for a long while now and I’m never disappointed in their group gifts. This month’s gift includes 2 pairs of these high wedge type heels with a cut out at the heel, laces at the ankle, and a peep toe. The shoes come in the deep red shade shown, and a shade of blue. Additionally there is a hud to change the tone of the metal bits between black, silver, and gold. The EMPIRE VIP group has a one time join fee of 500 lindens, however they do offer monthly gifts and there are currently a few previous gifts still available as well.

Sizes Included: Belleza (Freya, Isis, Venus), Slink (Hourglass, Physique), Maitreya, TMP

Leggings FTW

Next up, I am so glad I snagged these cute black leggings from Satus Inc. They are a current group gift available to all Satus Inc. group members. You’ll find this group gift on the table to the left as you enter the Satus Inc. main store. You will need to join the Satus Inc. group and wear the group tag before clicking the gift vendor. There is a one time join fee of just 25 lindens however there are always gifts and sales. Plus, I think these comfy leggings will make everyone’s bum look good!

Sizes Included: Belleza (Isis, Freya, Venus), FitMesh (xs, s, m, l, xl), Slink (Hourglass, Physique), Maitreya, TMP

FREE Okami Tattoo

Finally, this nicely done tattoo is a current group gift at K-tarsis. This tattoo shop is a new-to-me shop and I’ll tell you there are some eye-opening photos decorating the store. Just be aware you’re in for a bit of tasteful nudity if you shop at K-tarsis. The decor aside, I’m super happy with this Okami gift tattoo. This is another group gift, so you will need to join the K-tarsis group before clicking the gift vendor. The K-tarsis Designs group is FREE to join, making this a totally FREE gift even for new group members. Also, this is a unisex applier tattoo with appliers for both male and female mesh bodies.

Appliers Included: Slink (female/male), Omega (female/male), Belleza (female/male), Maitreya, Signature

Atom Bomb Baby

I almost missed out on telling all you Fabulous readers about the Sn@tch 10th Anniversary Sale & Specials! It ends July 19th, so you still have a couple of days, and you don’t want to miss out! In addition to lots of extra ways to win free clothes, almost everything in the store (this does not include new releases, marketplace, or gift cards) is 50 – 75% off!

A Lucky, Unlucky Dip!

Extra prize winning machines have been set out at Sn@tch for this special week, including an Unlucky Dip… except that it’s lucky! It gives out a prize every single time!

I took a dive and came up with a free Sn@tch Skybox of Evil! This skybox is a Gothic skybox and is full-size and simply amazing. It even included decorating accessories such as a bed, candelabras, rugs, and a plant. The skybox itself was 81 prim, but for such a roomy and well textured skybox, that’s not bad! I took my picture in front of the window of the skybox… which was my favorite part!

New Lucky Letters!

Our wonderful Sn@tch creator has set out new Lucky Letter Board prizes and you can win lots of great prizes for free if your letter comes up! I won the Atom Bomb Baby Tank top for free when my letter came up! It comes in all the standard sizes, but I love that it is a fatpack of colors! You’ll have colors to match all your moods for free!

Matching pants!

Have you forgotten Sn@tch‘s new Freebie and Cheapie area? I had! I took a peak over there and snatched up these free Raji Floral leggings. These are mesh and come in all the standard sizes and for 0L I was able to get them in a fat-pack of colors. They matched my new free tank top too! I’m all set!
