Hiya, wow this week is passing by in a flash. A new month, time for GG’s. Yeah!
Rain, Rain Go Away
Jacx has been stuck indoors with all this incessant rain. Finally venturing out to do some much-needed shopping. Modeling today an elective outfit, a mix and match combination of 2 GG’s. Starting with [ADD] Erin Down Jacket & Sweater, free current GG for Cosmopolitan. Versatile and stylish this light pink set can be worn separately or together as shown. The set will have you “in the pink” and winter-ready. 🙂 The Cosmopolitan group is required for the gift, the group is free to join. The current round runs 11/1-11/13.

MOoh! If You Love Shoes
Shoeaholic that I am, it was love at first sight for MOoH! November GG. The Dory Shoe & Sock gift just made my week. From the studded high-top sneakers with 10 different color choices (sized for Belleza, Legacy, Maitreya, Slink) to the sweet applique BOM socks, make these a welcome addition to your SL wardrobe. The MOoH! group join fee is 100L. But well worth the price, every month Dalriada Delwood, owner and creator of MOoH! puts out a very well constructed wearable gift. This is one of those what I call a keeper group.
That’s a wrap for today. Till next time,
Jacx

Hey gang! For today’s finds, I am taking you inside my humble abode, and also to our new Fab Free Headquarters! So travel around the grid with me if you will! We Fab Free sisters live and breathe freebies and deals so that means we use them in our little corners of the grid, just like y’all do! We try to set a good example by *trying* to live frugally! (not always easy! hee hee)
So, let’s get started, as I have a lot to show you. Above is my kitchen table area, I did this with a kitchen set from Careless (I didn’t even put everything out!) that cost me only 49L. It’s super cute and I added a couple of odds and ends from them too. The poses are great too, really well made stuff!
Below is my living room. My couch and chair are a set, also from Careless, but they are a group gift meaning they are free cause the group is free to join as well! If this color isn’t your thing, you guessed it, she has other colors for 49L! The cute Tulips on my mantle? 10L at Careless. The little trees with lights are from Caro Designe on market and you can get them for 50L.
Below you can see I used the little trees from Caro in more than one place, they are just sooo pretty! The pink Paris themed dresser with fairy lights? That’s one of my creations and you can grab that at Shanti for only 50L!
Here is another market find that I absolutely love, these little lantern lights from What Next. You can grab these on their marketplace store for only 10L! They are stunning, let me tell you! You can of course put them anyplace you like, I strung them along my fence by the pool.
Lastly, I don’t know how many of you have had a chance to pop by and check out the new headquarters yet, but in keeping with the fab free spirit, the house we used is of course free. It’s a free group gift from Greymoon Designs (who has adorable houses! I live in one (and own several! lol!), and the group is only 50L to join. When you join, you can grab a bunch of cute houses on the group gifts wall and here is the one we used (C-Side Cottage):
(btw the umbrella shaped lamp is from LISP Bazaar and is only 50L on market!)
The landscaping I used is mostly from Lunaria and the trees with sparkles in them are both free group gifts from Lunaria and that group is free to join. I love her stuff!
PS Don’t let Aline fool you, she did half of the amazing decorating too! It was an awesome team effort!
Well there you have it gang, another Caroline style post from me chock full of fab free style goodness!

Drip, drip, drop Little April shower Beating a tune As you fall all around Drip, drip, drop Little April shower What can compare To your beautiful sound
The best thing about April showers is that they help make everything bloom green and bright. I do love a cozy rainy day and because I grew up in a place that has a lot of thunderstorms, I especially love a good thunder and lightning storm. Where I live now, we rarely have them and I do miss them. A good rainy, stormy day can be very cozy and a chance to snuggle in with a good book and something hot to drink. However, where I live now, we can get a good 7-10 days with grey skies, no sun and and no fun storms. Boo! I do not like *that* kind of grey weather.
If it’s Gonna Rain…
If it’s gonna rain, it’s best to be prepared. As a one time Girl Scout (I hated it. lol I was the only one who had a mom who made her wear the *entire* uniform to every meeting!), I was taught to be prepared. As a FabFree Blogger, I am taught to be fashionable without breaking the bank. Case in point, these super adorbs boots from MOoH!. These are from a 50L Gacha (Key below) which has soooo many cute boots. I chose the Shabby Chic to go with my outfit.
Of Course You’re Gonna Need an…
Umbrella! Mine comes from LISP Bazaar for only 10L on marketplace! It has a series of poses with a texture change umbrella for each! The poses are all adorable.
So now I am gonna take myself in outta the rain and make some yummy comfort food for dinner…. more soon gang!

As fun as it is to run ourselves ragged shopping like lunatics in world, there is a certain satisfaction in staying in the comfort and seclusion of your cozy sl home and scooping up bahgains anyway. I’ve brought a handful of such goodies here to show you today. (marketplace show n tell time kiddies! woot!) From clothing, to props to decor, you can find it all, and find it I did! I spent a whopping (are you ready?) 134L and I got a dress, shoes, teacups with multiple poses and wall decor.
Lets begin with the dress. I got this soooooper cute dress for only 65L from DejaVu Designs. It comes with a HUD that has 40 colors and comes in these sizes:
Maitreya
Belleza
Slink
Tonic – Curvy & Fine
Classic
These cute tiptoe sneakers, which I Lurrrrvvveee, come from ROC which has so many cute affordable shoes, I barely know where to begin (I have my eye on another cute pair I think I will scoop up next time and blog). I got these for 49L, they come with a HUD that gives you 25 color choices so your cute sneakers will *always* match, and they fit:
Maitreya
Slink
TMP
Belleza
Now the little teacups with poses come from LISP Bazaar (I love their stuff!), they cost 10L and come with a choice of 6 really cute poses and you have your choice of steaming or not steaming. I wanted my tea to be hot cause it’s been chilly, so I chose steaming.
Last but not least, see those totally adorbs string lights hanging on the wall behind me? Those are from The Black Forest and they cost me 10L. They are really sweet in person, especially considering the price. 1 prim for each “curtain”.
Til next time, I hope you are all enjoying the FabFree hunt!!
Now, I don’t know about you but I’m a comfort girl, really, so every now and again I like to find something in sl that makes me feel relaxed *and* fashionable, all at the same time. Especially on a Saturday night! Take for instance this adorable outfit! It is not only comfy (yes I can tell even though its virtual! LOL), but its fashionable and I feel sooo cute in it. But that’s not the best part. You know what I’m gonna say, right? The best part was that I got it free! And you can too!
I picked up this cute outfit called Celine at DivaH Style. It is a group gift and the group is free to join. Its got the cute top and shorts as shown. It also comes with sandals, which since I have my feet on the furniture, I am not wearing. 😉 Oh and let me mention that there is a wall full of group gifts all just waiting for you. 😀

Hello, fabulous readers! I’m finally feeling the holiday spirit, thanks to some amazing gifts and deals. So hang on to your sleigh – we’ve got a lot to cover here!
Silver Bells
I was so thrilled when I got the notice that LeLutka was sending out their annual Spirit Tree. This year’s tree is a beauty: snowy green with big, silver decorations. And the best part is that it’s completely FREE!
Just join the LeLutka in-world group (NOT the LeLutka For Me users group) and save a copy from the notices. Or head over to the store to pick one up, if you’d rather. Lots of past group gifts are available (including FREE hair), so be sure to grab those as well, if you haven’t already done so.
The Spirit Tree is resizable with a right-click > edit > stretch. Be sure to watch your land impact, because the tree gets more “primmy” as it gets larger.
More Advent Gifts
[CIRCA] Living is hosting their 8th Annual Advent Calendar, and the gifts are really lovely!
This year’s Advent is a bit different:
From Dec 1 – 24, [CIRCA] will be offering a new advent item (up to 4 per day) in a numbered square.
This works similar to previous years except there is a new in-world group to join: [CIRCA] Living – Christmas Advents. It is free to join – just look for the RED group sign beside the large Advent tree on the wall.
You must wear your group tag (see above) to buy the contents of each square, except for the 0L surprise days. Each item will be 1L – 75L for any given day in the Advent tree. You can purchase any or all of the gifts for that day.
Sometimes there will be bonus squares on surprise days for an extra gift or color variation for group members, so don’t miss those.
On the Eve of Dec 24th, the group will be closed. Those still in the group at that time will receive the final gift on Dec 25th.
Sample items are on display in the store, and more will be displayed as the days go on. Each day’s gifts are only available for 2-3 days at a time, so don’t wait too long to check them out!
I’m showing a few [CIRCA] Advent items here (please note that not all are still available):
“Northern Forest” Hanging Christmas Words (over fireplace)
“Northern Forest” Holiday Garland 2a -Azure/Silver (on fireplace)
“Northern Forest” Stool – Cocoa Trees (right of fireplace)
“Frostine” Snowflake Gift Boxes (under tree – still available at the time of this post)
At the time of this post, days 9 – 12 are still available for purchase, including a really cute FREEBIE on day 9 (you want it, trust me).
Holiday Blues
I’m not feeling the blues, but I’m definitely wearing them! Not long ago, we welcomed I.M. Collection to the Fab Free Designer family. This made me happy because I really love their stuff (in case you hadn’t noticed, lol)!
So today I’m wearing I.M. Collection’s new gift for Fab Free group members, which includes both the dress and heels. Dress sizes include Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink, as well as a Fitmesh version. The shoes are sized for Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink mesh feet.
To pick up your gift, pop on your Fabulously Free in SL group tag and head over to the I.M. Collection in-world store. You’ll find the Fab Free gift next to the fireplace around the corner.
P.S. If you join the I.M. Collection group for 50L, there are 12 MORE GIFTS for you to pick up, as well as one for SLF&O group members. 😀
Look at These Nails!
Seriously, I am really loving these nails from LIVIA. And the best part is that they are a completely FREE gift for the Women Only Hunt 4.
The Snow Royale nail appliers work on Slink and Maitreya mesh hands, as well as hands that are Omega compatible, such as Vista and Tuty (Omega installer sold separately). Four different designs are included, so depending on your hands, you can wear all the same design, or different designs on each finger, as I’m doing here.
NOTE: This hunt allows decoys, and there is at least one that I found in the store. But hang in there; the “real” snowflake is not too hard to find, especially if you have the clue before you go hunting. 🙂
Snow Chains
Before I end this very long post (sorry!), I want to mention my necklace, which was an Advent calendar gift from Snowpaws. The Metal Snowflake Necklace was the gift for day 4. It is not resizeable, but you can reposition it.
Like the Advent calendars I mentioned previously HERE, Snowpaws’s calendar gifts do not expire after one day, so you can still pick up all the previous days’ gifts. There’s an interesting selection of gifts, including jewelry, accessories, and home decor items. All gifts are completely FREE, and you don’t even need to join a group! 🙂
Enjoy!

This has been an extremely difficult post for me to write. In fact, it has taken me all week to finish it! The reason is because this will be my last post for FabFree… at least for a while. Some RL opportunities presented themselves to me a couple months ago, and I decided that the time was right for me to pursue them. Unfortunately, this means I will no longer be able to keep up with the busy FabFree blogging schedule. 😦 But who knows… I may turn up in a guest post once in a while. And I may be back if/when RL settles down. What I know for certain is that I will really miss this fabulous group of bloggers, and I will truly miss all of you wonderful readers.
Ok, enough mush. I wanted to leave you with a special post, so here goes! 🙂 My pretty, green dress is the latest subscriber gift from DaneMarkZ. I really like the texture and the summery “feel” to it. And this gorgeous ponytail hair is the latest group gift from LeLutka. You get a huge fatpack of colors, so you’re sure to find one you like!
This creamy skin is Glam Affair’s Livy in the Arctic 05 flavor. You can try your luck to win her for 100L at The Arcade Gacha. My pretty jewelry is a group gift from Baby Monkey, and includes the earrings, necklace, and ring, as well as a HUD with 9 different textures. The applier for my nails is a subscriber gift from {Wicked} Peach, and it includes 6 textures for fingers and toes.
N-Core Design recently put out these gorgeous shoes as a group gift. The heel is texture-change, and of course, you can change your pedicure. N-Core shoes come with their own feet, but the skin matching system is pretty awesome. I had no trouble at all matching to my pale Glam Affair skin, although I did have to play with the sizing a teensy bit. The water fountain in the background is a group gift from [we’re CLOSED], and my cute Frenchie pup can be found in a gacha at The Chapter Four (Love showed the cream-colored pup, as well as the Dandelion and Bumblebee Fairies here).
A few decor items of note… the burger and lemonade meal is a group gift from ISPACHI. You must join the Love to Decorate group to get it (sign is next to the gift). The table, chair, and wall art are a group gift from *ionic*. Both groups are free to join, and there are other gifts for you to snap up while you are in the stores. The Fairy Terrarium and the box with the clipboard, magnifying glass, etc., are also from the Ohmai fairy gacha at The Arcade. The pretty pink rose bush behind the chair is by StoraxTree for The Pier Market. And the payphone on the wall is from the .floorplan. gacha at Kustom9.
Another view here. Both the record player and the vintage camera are from The Arcade.
I won’t say good-bye, but I will say “until next time.” Be good to each other, and remember to always stay fabulous! 😀
Valentine’s Day is over, but it’s never to late to make beautiful music together. You can find this lovely, romantic pose at Positure Poses (piano is included). ♥
While you’re at it, be sure you pick up these beautiful shoes. They’re the Valentine’s Day group gift from Gos Boutique. Gos shoes are always amazing, and these Carrie Pumps are no exception. The come with a stocking option with 5 colors, which I have turned on here in white. But – and here’s the catch – you ONLY have until the end of tomorrow, February 21st, to pick them up at the store. You’ll find them near the landing point by the stairs. (The group is currently 500L to join while the gift is out, but I believe it drops back down to around 50L when there is no gift.)
This sexy negligee is the February gift from ~ghee~. This is a gift for EVERYONE, and no group join is needed – yay! These pretty bracelets are a group gift from Maxi Gossamer, and can be found in the notices. Gavin’s suit is the men’s New Year’s gift from Gizza Creations, and it includes the pants, shirt, and jacket. His shoes can be found in the 0L clearance area at *COCO* Designs. I’ll warn you… they were very small when he first put them on, so they might actually be women’s shoes. But I made them quite a bit larger using the resizer, and they look like they were made for him now. 🙂 Oh, and see that cute picture on the wall behind us? That’s a new dollarbie at floorplan. It comes with 3 “nerdy” romantic textures; this one says “Amin Mela Lle,” which is the Elven phrase for “I love you.” Don’t ask me why I know that. 😉
This gorgeous build is the Dion Skybox, which you can pick up as a free subscriber gift from Llorisen. It’s really a good size and weighs in at only 12 LI. I love the big picture windows. 🙂 I added a few furniture items so you could get an idea of the skybox’s size. The items are listed below, in case you like any of them.
I know I know, I’ve shown you a ton of Sugar Button freebies lately. Still, I couldn’t help but throw in one more. I saw this super cute sweater as a lucky chair prize, and it had to be mine! It’s always exciting to see your letter come up on a lucky board when the prize is something you really want. Ready to go out shopping, looking for things to go with my new sweater, I happened across these sweet little mary-jane style shoes at B!atsa. They are the current “Add Some Red” hunt gift, just gotta find the little red hearts.While out shopping around, I almost literally almost stumbled over the newest group gift from Cavalieri. Right now, group members can pick up this adorable little bob-style hair for free! Now, as we all know, I’m a bit of a Marketplace junkie. It’s there that I came across these decorative light bulbs from Lisp Bazaar. How could I resist the cute little mustaches?! Not only are they a great conversation piece, they’re animated.
Don’t miss out on these great finds! Here are the details:

Although I don’t actually do any SL role-playing (yet), I really love the role-play “dress up” events, and We ❤ Role-Play! is one of my favorites. Here, I’m wearing Hilda’s Kirtle and Hilda’s Cloak by {Junbug}. As with all of {Junbug’s} offerings, the textures are amazing, and this one is even materials-enabled. Items are We ❤ Role-Play! are discounted for the duration of the event, so if you like any of them, be sure to pick them up before the prices go up! My lantern/pose is a gacha prize from LISP Bazaar at The Arcade; Care showed it earlier in this post, but I couldn’t resist showing it myself. 😀
There are bunches of gifts under the We ❤ Role-Play! Christmas trees, and I’m wearing two of them here. My tattoo, which reads, “There is no fate but what we make,” is a free gift from Aeva//Heartsick. It comes with black and white, as well as colored, stars. This beautiful jewelry – earrings and Maang Tikka – is a free gift from !!Sax Shepherd Designs. It is HUD-driven, with 4 different metals and 8 different jewels. Not all the gifts are free though – some are just very inexpensive – but be sure to head over and pick up the ones you want before this fun event ends. 🙂
