Fallen Leaves & Frost

Fallen Leaves & Frost

Happy FabFree Fallen Leaves and Frost Hunt Season!  We’re back with another of our hunts, this one heralding the onset of cooler weather here in the Northern marches.  You’ll find all sorts of fun items, and we’re so pleased to show you some of the fabulous prizes.  Let’s hop in!

Hunting Fun

I went to three different locations today to show off some of the free prizes you can pick up.  First stop was Ruxy for this appealing velvety dress.  Isn’t it pretty?  There’s a second prize at Ruxy as well, so look out for the FabFree glowing rainbow throughout the store.

The decor I put together is just so beautiful and really feels haunting and chilly to me in a magical kind of way.  The grasses and bushes all come from Lunaria and they are just so incessantly lovely.  I really love decorating my home sim (and the info hub!) with Larinda’s beautiful grasses and trees.  The little lit bushes behind are really cute too, and they’re all free with a bit of hunting.

My last stop today was Raindale.  I have always loved the whimsical touch of the furnishings from this store.  It makes me think of Elves.  I’m pretty sure Galadriel did most of her shopping at Raindale when she was furnishing her home in Caras Galadhon (yes, nerd moment…).  The swing, hammock and leaf-shaped boat behind me (check it in my second photo) are all free as well.

The FabFree Fallen Leaves and Frost Hunt is running all the way to the end of the month, so you have loads of time to find the gifts.  Check out the hints and prize keys right HERE, and make sure you tell your friends.  The more the merrier!

Have an awesome hunt,

Blooming Marvelous

Blooming Marvelous

Wouldn’t it be grand to be constantly surrounded by perfect blooms?  Ok, maybe not if you are an allergy-type person… but let’s just say that these blooms are perfect in all respects.  They don’t make you sniffly, they never wilt, and they are a riotous mass of colour.  See?  I think of everything!

Did Someone Say Riotous?

There’s a new group gift at Sass, and I really love it.  This sweet (but quite sexy) minidress is everything the doctor ordered.  I love how it’s dark, yet the blooms pop and give that injection of moody colour I really need.  To get yours, join the Sass group for 50L, then pay the vendor 1L which will then be returned to you.  Don’t want to mess around with L?  Did you know that most Caspervend units give you the option to “deliver” an item without paying that pesky 1L?  Just click on the vendor, and when the little blue popup shows up, click on the deliver button – it worked for me!

Whimsical Sunday Stroll

Snapshot_028

Hey faboo gang!

It’s a rainy day here in my real life world, a day to crank up those fairy lights and delve into some fun second life fashion!

I love to find designers who are *not* on the big designer list and introduce them to everyone.  There are a helluva lot of good designers out there that you never hear about and who don’t even get a chance because they are overshadowed by those designers you *do* hear about every day!  I like to share these “mom and pop” designers, the small businesses of the grid to show them some support.

This time around I have found a cute place called It’s Me.  They have some freebies and dollarbies, but my eye caught this outfit which was still only 29L, I love the funky pattern on the overalls. It also comes with cute sneakers to match (not shown). This cute set which has both the top and the pants fits:

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

My pose is another cute 75L Nextup find from Le Poppycock.  I love that you wear the props and they pose you, so you have nothing to rez.  This pose comes with both the tree and the dove, as well as the pose, of course.

The Collective Shiver

The Collective Shiver

I can hear the collective shiver going through the ranks of FabFree readers as I stand here in the glittering snow in very very little clothing.  Thank goodness my avatar has built in heating (or at least that’s what I tell myself all the time), or she totally would have been sneezing all over the place by now.  I have seen her sneeze – but never shiver, so maybe I’ve got this theory all wrong!

Festively Frosty

This very sultry little slip dress is the group gift for the holiday season at Nanika!  The group is just 50L to join, and there are plenty of lovely gifts on the wall there.  This dress is the latest.  It comes with several different textures for the main part of the dress, and all sorts of different colours for the lace portion as well, so you can totally play around with the look.  I also added these snowflake lights which were a gift there last year that you can still pick up on the wall to add to any outfit you like!  Yay!

Autumn’s Queen

Autumn Queen

Hello FabFree and happy Wednesday! Fall isn’t done yet and I’m hanging onto it as long as I can. And if I’m a Queen of Autumn how can it deny me? 

If you are a long time reader of the Blog here, you may recognize this lovely gown and cloak. It first appeared at BlueMoon Enterprise back in 2017 and was featured by our own Astrid. But it’s such an enchanting item I thought ‘what the heck’! Maybe it will catch the eye of some of our new folks.

The “Queen of Autumn” gown is the current Group Gift over at BMe so you can pick it up for free with your free Group tag.  You get the complete look here – the cloak, the shoulder pieces, the collar and necklace and the sleeves. All together it’s a show stopping look! Of course… just the dramatic red gown would be great for any of those upcoming Christmas formals too.

The winds of home

Winds of home

Hello FabFree! t’s all rainy and snowy and cold here in Real Life. SO I’m escaping to the Grid for a wonderful 25L Tuesday sale. I just love this soft feminine gown from Viki today. It makes me want to  be back in the old Elven forests and cities. It just has that moody fantasy feel. Or maybe it’s just me….

In the wild places

In the wild places

While the world is full of troubles
And anxious in its sleep.

Come away, O human child!
To the waters and the wild

With a faery, hand in hand,
For the world’s more full of weeping than you can understand.

~ W B Yeats

Fable 6 is all about Fairytales and darkling dreams and some of the best fantasy goods you can imagine. Plus most of the designers have set out a special priced “gift” for just 10L. The fair runs until August 31st so don’t wait too long… it’s vanish away like a dream in the morning light.

That Kind of Day

That Kind of Day

I find it a difficult thing to choose between strong, bright prints sometimes.  There are days where I feel like being swathed in tie-dye is exactly what my soul requires, and others are clearly a multicolour animal print days.  As  you can see, today is the latter, and it is all about the happiness, boldness and bright craziness that only a wacky animal print can engender.  Let’s do it!

Beautiful, Dirty, But You Don’t Need to be Rich

Yay!  A new group gift has appeared at B.D.R.!  Things had been a little quiet for a while, but they’re back and ready to colour your world with this awesome bodysuit and skirt combo.  The HUD is a thing of beauty, with loads of different lovely options to change the colour of both to your heart’s content.  You can also wear the bodysuit and skirt separately, which is really nice for people who are looking for swimwear with a bit more coverage.  The B.D.R. group is free to join, and there’s a wall full of awesome gifts.

The Fantasy of Japan

The Fantasy of Japan

I’m always a fan of the fantasy of travel.  Real travel is always enticing, of course – but when you get a bit fantastical with it (you know, like a full on kimono and gown plus a crown of lilies) it can always be a bit of a hoot.  Japan is a place I’ve always wanted to visit.  Everything from the traditional beauty of the temples down to the electric madness of Shibuya, I’m totally down for a bit of exploring.  The current Olympics have also done nothing to dull my need to visit this beautiful land!  Though my plane in RL may be grounded for now – it’s time to jet off and have a bit of the fantasy in SL.

The Gacha-geddon

You may have heard that Gachas will be going the way of the dinosaur in Second Life (ALAS!) but out of this bombshell change has come a few perks (for instance – the ridiculous amount of sales going on – check out our HUGE listing HERE) and also a few choice fun free finds too!  Over at Una, you’ll find a big pile of older gacha sets that you can pick up for free just by joining their free group!  I have the Akame set on, that comes with this long black gown, the corset belt, the kimono, and fan.  You’ll find the whole set (all sized for Maitreya) in the box, as well as so many others in the pile!  So generous!

More Pr!tty

I’m also wearing another of the latest group gifts from Pr!tty (you’ll remember I showed you one the other day HERE) which you will find tucked away in group notices.  The Pr!tty group is free to join, and there are so many lovely things packed in notices!  Just paste the following link into chat to join the group!
