Impracticality at its Finest

Latex is not necessarily the most practical of textiles, now is it?  But really, when it shines ever so appealingly I find it hard to resist.  I suppose today’s outfit is not about practicality, but rather about enticement, and I must say I’m feeling rather enticed!

You Little D’Evil

One my favourite stops on the grid is definitely the D’Evil shop, where everything is completely free.  It’s all adult-themed, so just be aware of that when you land, but there are some very nice looks you can pick up that are either shockingly wearable, or completely impractical.  Today’s outfit falls under the latter category, I’d say.  The dress is more of a latex apron of sorts, perfect for that French maid vibe.  The back is tied with a cheerful ribbon, but not much of the rear view is left to the imagination, if you catch my meaning.  The ballet boots I’ve got on are also another free find from the store, and they will have you tiptoeing your way through crowds, while turning heads as you go.  Both items are sized for Maitreya bodies (you’ll have to alpha-out your feet for the shoes) and are completely free!  Much fun!

Shine on, you crazy diamonds!

It’s Only Us

Hello Fabulouses!  I hope your week is going well.  Ripley and I are popping in quickly to share a darling outfit that I picked up as a free group gift.  With a floral crop top and sleek shorts, this outfit will have you ready for a weekend adventure, without putting even so much as a tiny dent in your budget.

Pretty Floral Print

Lalie from WellMade has lots of fine details such as the semi transparent generous cuffs, the ruffled edge on the hem and coordinating ties dangling down on the sides of the shorts.  While I opted for a grayish botanical print and black shorts, with the enclosed HUD, you have three other options for the top and bottom that you can switch up and combine to your heart’s content.  Since each piece is worn separately, you can mix and match with other items already in your inventory for added versatility.  Best of all, since the WellMade group has no join fee, you can add this summery number to your inventory completely for free!

Mesh Body Compatibility:

• Belleza Freya, Isis and Venus
• Maitreya
• Slink Hourglass and Physique

Until my next post, happy shopping!

Dark Dolly

Do you hashtag? #Instagram and #all that stuff? Even Second Life has a few #Hashtags. But I really like the #Hashtag Event! The theme for this round is ‘Steampunk’ so I went all expecting to do a Steam flavored post… and believe me, I loaded up on some yummy Steampunk goodies. But I couldn’t resist all the free gifts scattered around. And I know that’s what y’all are here for! So instead of Steampunk… I’m going all early Halloween!

Dark Intentions

It’s never too early for Halloween and spooky stuff is it? Cause that’s the vibe I’m getting from Ewa Boutique’s free gift for the Hashtag Event. This is the “Black Doll” complete outfit I’m showing off today. You get the lacey barely-there dress, the tall boots and the leather choker. Perfect for that first Halloween party of the season here in a few… okay, six weeks. 😉

Sizes Included

• Belleza – Freya, Isis, Venus
• Maitreya
• SLink – Hourglass, Physique

Drink it Up

Sometimes all you need for a great outfit in SL is some cute and fun accessories.  I love chasing down the little extras that make SL looks fun, and I found a few free ones to keep you looking fresh!

Fair Hair

You may have heard that The Hair Fair is going on right now, and boy oh boy is it full of goodness.  A portion of all sales goes to Wigs for Kids, so it’s not just fun but aiming to do some good in the world.  There are also some great free gifts offered up by some of the creators!  I stopped at the Ade booth and there I came across this sleek bob which comes in a full fatpack of fun colours as well as a styler HUD.  They also put out these very on-trend shades out too for free, and I’m having a great time looking imperiously over the rim at people!

Catching Tears

There’s a new free group gift over at Jackalope too, and it’s this amusing little milk carton of “boy tears”.  Don’t you fret though, there’s also a carton of “girl tears” included.  To grab this amusing little addition, just join the Jackalope group for free and click on the vendor by the front desk!

Mhhhhmmm!

Old Town Road

You guys know that song Old Town Road, right?  It’s one of those songs people love to hate, I think.  At least, I am in that category.  I mean, it’s fairly annoying but it always manages to get into your head despite your best efforts.  The outfit I’ve got on today is called Hometown, so my brain made a little leap and now I’m stuck with the song in my head forever.  Great.  And also, you’re welcome.

Ride Til I Can’t No More

I guess there’s a hint of the country and western about this look (I don’t know, do I?  I’m from the least Western-esque part of Canada, don’t hate on me!), and that’s where the name Hometown is coming from.  Anyway, all’s I know is that’s it’s super cute and you can grab it at Envious since it’s their current group gift!  It comes with jeans, a knotted shirt and a little bra for underneath.  All can be worn separately.  To get yours, just join the Envious group for 350L.  Their group gifts are pretty regular, so the join fee is worth it!

Sizes

• Freya
• Hourglass
• Isis

As Stan reported a few days ago, The latest issue of L’Homme is out. With the Fifth anniversary issue comes a selection of gifts for the readers. To become a member of the free L’ Homme Reader’s group, simply tap the sign at any of the participating designers. Then help yourself to the gifts. Don’t forget to peruse the issue itself at L’Homme Magazine Second Life.

Brights and Bold

I had to help myself to this well tailored shirt from Meva as soon as I saw it. This is the ‘Marcus’ dress shirt and it is part of a set offered to the L’Homme readers. The shirt comes with a pair of matching pants. It’s called orange but I see it more as a sunshine yellow. It made me think of tropical vacations and margaritas in a sidewalk café. So that’s exactly where I’m headed off to.

Today is My Day

Hello Fabulouses!  I hope you had a wonderful weekend!  Ripley and I roamed the grid and discovered a free complete outfit that we think you’ll enjoy.  It comes from a new-to-me store and I think its a fun casual look just right for a Sunday evening.

Are You Feeling Lucky?

Over at the Mangula shop, there are a 24 lucky boards that require no group membership.  All you have to do is wait for your letter appear and you can pick up the outfit for free.  This adorable Laila set is one of the items you can win if your luck holds out.  The folder includes two top styles and a skirt.  I just love the off the shoulder design and soft blush pink color of the shirt.   The fabric texture of the blouse is really well done and features a checked pattern of delicate holes in the sleeves and body of the top.  The gift includes the bodysuit version of the top, but a separate blouse is included as well.  The skirt’s asymmetrical hemline ends with a torn denim edge that lends a casual flair to the outfit.  Twin butterflies grace its back pockets.  The folder includes versions for several mesh body avatars.  Best of all, it is completely free.  The only thing you will have to invest is a bit of time while you wait for your letter to appear.  If you don’t have a lucky dog like the pupster, you might want to bring along a trusty four leaf clover or lucky penny with you.  🙂

Mesh Body Compatibility:

• Curvy
• Freya
• Hourglass
• Lara

I hope your week is off to a wonderful start tomorrow.  Until my next post, happy shopping!

I’m so Fancy

It’s Sunday Funday and for some reason I’m spending it in a pink classroom.  It’s not quite back to school time yet here in my part of the world, but you to always get that little hint of excitement before it’s time for people to head back to the books.  Maybe it’s the thrill of the new school supplies you can pick up.  I always was partial to a new set of pencils… or a new back to school outfit!  I think I may have settled on a cute and somewhat Clueless-inspired look!

She’s Psycho

Psycho Barbie have all sorts of new fun goodies for group members!  If you join their group for 50L, you can get your little mitts on these sweet socks and garters as their most recent group gift (there are a whole bunch of other gifts there too!).  I also got my cute knotted dress there (it comes with several different texture options, all featuring slightly creepy cute designs) by hanging out by the Lucky Boards and waiting until my letter came up!  I didn’t have to stand around too long til I grabbed this dress, but there are a bunch of other fun outfits too!

You think I’d spend a fortune on an outfit?  AS IF!  (Clueless reference…just sayin…)

Bookish Mood

Hey FabFree, happy weekend to y’all! I hope it’s a good one for you. If it’s too hot outside, or too rainy or too whatever…. just take to the Grid and hunt down some freebies!

Teleportation Nation

I’m talking about the Group, Teleport HUB today. It’s an almost free to join group, just 10L, and it will set you up for loads of great gifts. Like what, Juli? I’m glad you asked! Like this nifty dress from MonaLISA. This is the ‘Seda’ dress and it’s the current Teleport HUB gift. I love the simple design and the almost vintage look. Kind of a smexy Librarian look. The gifts do change out so if you need this for your closet, teleport down and grab it!

Fields of Gold

Hey Hey Fab Free!  While I hack my way through the loveliness of RL jet lag (mmm delicious) I have nestled myself inworld to try and stave off premature sleep.  I made my way to the peaceful fields of Whimberly, which are always a delight to prance through.  Aren’t the golden fields cheerful?  They sure are keeping my peepers from drooping…

More Roses

There’s a new group gift over at Rosary!  The very sexy bodycon dress I’ve got on is making me ever so happy right now, and I got it all by joining the group at Rosary for 200 Lindens.  There are two other equally as wonderful group gifts there too, making the fee exceedingly worth it.  This dress comes with a texture change HUD with several gorgeous colours and also a few patterns including paint splatters, tropical plants and even some fruit!   I’m sure you’ll love it.

• Freya
