Marvelous Night For a Moondance

As I stand here looking out the window of my loft I am a little sad that the FabFree at Fifteen event is ending at midnight tomorrow. Aline did an outstanding job of wrangling the designers who were gracious enough to participate. It means a lot that FabFree has been around for so long. We have the designers and FabFree team to thank for bringing you all of the goodies. In fact, if you’re so inclined a short thank you note to the designers who set out gifts would be appropriate. I think I can speak for the entire FabFree blogger team when I say “We love showing our finds.” Working on the blog is a labor of love for us. So though our celebration ends tonight there will be many more posts to come.

A Little Boho

Pixel Box has been around many, many years. The designs there lean towards steampunk, Goth, and Victorian style. I do confess I hadn’t visited the store in a couple of years so I was very pleased to find it still open and participating in FabFree at Fifteen. Now that my nap is over I’m ready to run the streets of SL and get some dancing in tonight. This evening I’m wearing the Steampunk Rustic Long Skirt. It is nicely textured and has great details like the buttons on the skirt. For this post I’ve paired it with the top from Tiffany Designs Kaylin shorts outfit.

Skirt Sizes

• Belleza Freya & Isis
• Legacy & Perky
• Maitreya & Petite
• SLink Hourglass

That’s it for my FabFree at Fifteen posts. Hope you had as much fun as I did.

Sea Air

I’m back at the beach!  And before someone makes a pointed comment (hehehe) about how I’m always in bikinis – look I’m fully clothed!  Shocking, I know.

Happy Anniversary!

Addams is celebrating 7 years on the grid in spectacular fashion this month – you may have missed their massive sale, but that’s ok because they’ve currently got 300L in store credit for all their group members.  That 300L goes a long way when so many items are priced at just 75L each right now.  I grabbed the Trisha sweater for just 75L and the matching shorts for another 75L, leaving me plenty of Ls left over to play around with.  To get this gift, just tp on over to Addams, join their group for 5L, then click on the board at the landing point.  Heads up though, this 300L in store credit will disappear after 7 days so make sure you use it ASAP (and don’t forget about it like I always do!).  Word on the street is this credit will only be available this weekend.  Hop to it!

Sizes

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

Be aware that Addams has two groups – the one you want to join is this one:

Getting Swept Away

Have you been to the discount area at Siss Boom? It’s enormous, I don’t even know what to call it. Discount room? Floor? Empire? Nomenclature aside, it’s really fabulous and brimming with clothes for between 25L and 50L per item. And it’s Siss Boom so you know they’re gonna be good. I spent a relaxing afternoon flitting around the sales arena, ohhing and ahhing, and one of the things that I came away with was this “dance dress.” It’s priced at just 25L per color and includes an assortment of fitmesh sizes as well as Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink.

And then, well, I’m me so I’m also showing off a new skin. Junho is the new June group gift from Seven Deadly Skins. The gift includes all the skin tones in two versions, with and without eyebrows. One of the great things about 7DS is that the skins come as a single full BOM which includes both the head and the body. So no making sure you’ve got the correct body shade to match, no neck seams, just wear the BOM and you’re done. Easy peasy, lemon squeezey.

Yeah I’m Free

My shopping has been a bit too much “sale” and not enough “gift” lately, if you know what I mean. So I decided that the best way to bring things back into balance would be with a trip to Free Dove!

There was a bit of buzz here on the blog and in the inworld group chat a couple of months ago about Free Dove. The shopping area has been completely redone and updated. If you haven’t been there recently either, goooo. Free Dove is so great, for newer avis just as much as for seasoned ones like me (yes I’m seasoned ahem) who like freebs from great designers. You’ll need to join the free group and then start clicking. Pretty soon you’ll be rolling in free gifts. Here’s what I picked up for this look:

• Free Top – A perfect summer top, with a fun hippie twist. This fringe top by FurtaCor will be easy to wear all summer and, let’s face it, for some of us it’s always summer SL! Included is a HUD full of colors and patterns to pick from as well as sizes for:
  – Freya
  – Hourglass
  – Isis
  – Maitreya
  – Physique
  – Venus 

• Free Tattoo – I’m not typically a fan of color tattoos in SL, but these are so pretty and feminine and well done! It’s by Vezzo Ink and comes in various shades, I always pick the lightest because I feel like tattoos look a bit more realistic when they’re faded.
  
• Free Skin – I might have squeed when I tried on this skin, an audible squee. It’s so lovely and just the fresh faced natural style that I go for. It is by Magnetic which was a happy surprise because they weren’t really on my radar before, but you can bet I’ll be searching for their mainstore very soon. This one is the head and body all together too which is always handy, as well as a shape (which I didn’t try on) and 4 skin tones – each in a brow/browless option and bodies for Maitreya and Legacy.

Yes, it’s a whole lot of free, and all seems right in the world again. ❤

I Believe

I’ve long been a fan of the Witchwood sim and it’s two polar opposite shops – flowy, hippie, boho Petite Mort and dark, goth, witchy Oubliette. If you haven’t wandered Witchwood you honestly need to. And while you’re there you can join the free combo group for both stores that’ll let you take advantage of a shelf of free group gifts and free lucky boards in each!

Blushing

Do you ever just come across something and you can’t believe that it’s made so entirely perfectly? That’s how I feel about this top. Perfection. The way it hangs, the color, the texturing, all the little details – perfection. And do you know what’s even better? It was a free lucky board prize at Petite Mort. There are four free lucky boards at Petite Mort and four more at Oubliette, so you can scamper back and forth and keep an eye on both at the same time. So much goodness. So. Much. The blouse comes in sizes for:

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

All you’ve gotta do is join that free Petite Mort & Oubliette VIP group that we talked about earlier and wait for your letter! May the odds be ever in your favor.

Unexpected Freebie

When you’ve got an inventory like mine, just getting dressed is bound to include some freebies! I got it in my head that a denim skirt would be perfect for this look and started trying on options from my inventory. Wouldn’t you know it, this flowy sweet little number that I settled on just so happens to be a Blueberry group gift. It’s not new but it is so cute and well made. So I guess this is a reminder to all of us to not forget about the older stuff, because newer is not always better! The Blueberry group is only 20L to join and this gift includes a really great HUD of color and belt options, plus sizes for:

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

Counting My Blessings

Happy 1st Friday of 2022! Although the real world is wild, crazy, and insane here in SL we have so many blessings. We usually don’t catch viruses or diseases here (at least I haven’t gotten any). But always remember this – boys have cooties!

Our fabulous, marvelous designers are always showering us with gifts or offering great prices an promos or sales. It’s fun to jump around the grid to discover new goodies. I’ve been doing a bit of this and that, going here and there to find fashion items you may like.

One of the newest FabFree group gifts (Free to join) comes courtesy of Telsiope’s Couture. This lovely delicately textured dress is Victoria. I love the way the gold threads swirl while making lovely patterns on the cloth. You could use this as casual or a semi-dressy wear.

Sizes

• Belleza Freya
• Legacy & Perky
• Maitreya & Petite
• SLink HG

While I was scoping out goodies I made a trip to The Free Dove to see what was new. I found these tres chic heels from {Le’la}, the Unka Heels (Free gift at The Free Dove/Free group join needed). If you prefer a shiny shoe you will love these. The package includes sizes for Maitreya and Slink as well as an 8 color change hud.

Next I tripped on over to No_Match. There is a new Next Up game with a new to me style – No_Tendencies. Each try at the machine costs $50L. If you haven’t tried one yet it’s like a gacha but you know what you’ll get before you spend the $L. I scored this Black/white version on my 1st try. The included hud has 9 different shades from whites/greys/blacks. I’ll be going there often to catch the red hud!

Off I go again to scour the grid for goodies!

Peace,

Cre

Autumn Wind

Hiya, oh this is going to be such a fun post to do! First time in who knows how long Jacx has no tattoos, no piercing on. LOL almost feeling naked.

Daughter Of Fall

Winds stir, leaves rise in greeting as the daughter of fall returns to the forest to commune with nature. Embracing the spirits that dwell deep within, our lovely maiden is modeling the warm golden hues of fall showing the Meander/Me (Lemania Indigo) Autumn Wind offerings for The Fabfree Fallen Leaves and Frost Hunt, Nov.8th-Nov.30th. Starting with the gorgeous Meander/Me Autumn Wind dress, halter top style, wrap-around thigh cut, ankle-length skirt, in richly textured fall tones. For 5L and a little time hunting this dress can be yours. To carry forward the golden tones of fall, Lemania has created the most beautiful skin to go with this outfit. The Meander/Me Autumn Wind skin is just stunning, made for BOM, Lelutka, and looks really great on my Catwa Queen Head. For 5L and a bit of time, the skin is well worth the lindens and the effort. Now as the queen of accessorizing, there are times when you want simple, classic accessories, this is one of those times. This dress and skin combo can stand on its own. For 1L you can pick up the perfect earrings for this outfit. The Meander/Me Autumn Earrings 3 in silvertone, with fall hue mother of pearl shells, bring the right note to complete this wonderful outfit. And if you are into role-playing, this would be a good one to use.

All Heart

Hiya, it’s Monday. Let’s start the week off with some awesome freebies.

Color My World

Color My World is my absolute favorite Chicago song. My world would be colored in pastels. Peach, mint, baby pink, lavender, butter yellow, and even some baby blue, but not too much. Now that I have waxed lyrically about colors. Let’s get to the good part. LOL. In my post, Love Garden here that the Reed Group was free to join. Not only does the Reed group give you free skin, but you also get access to 11 other GG, plus 3 Lucky Boards, including Reed Anna, this free rocking dress, has so much to offer, from the multi pastel color, sweater styling, and the best of all, the cutout heart 🙂

Sizes

• Hourglass
• Kupra
• Legacy
• Maitreya
• Maitreya Petite

Shoes!

That one word says it all. The Duchess Of Windsor once said, “You can never be too rich, or too thin.” I would have to disagree with the Duchess, you can never have enough shoes. When as a newlywed moving into my first home, my husband picked up a 4×4 moving box, as it was really heavy he asked “what’s in the box.” I said “shoes.” He said, “Why in the heck would you need that many shoes?” My answer was “to match my outfits.” LOL. Now that I have babbled on. The Breathe shoe group is free to join, one of the available free GG’s is the Breathe Fen Ling Heels, this bootie style laced heel, comes with a generous 21 color hud, sized for Belleza, Maitreya, and slink.) Not sure how much longer these 2 groups will be free, so grab your stilettos and run fast to these awesome stores.

That’s a wrap for today. Till next time

Watermelon Sky

Hey Hey FabFree! If you’ve read any of my ramblings before, one of the things you know is I LOVE a good SL Hunt. And I am really excited about our very own “FabFree Enchanted Forest Hunt” ! Have you seen the prizes? I could hardly pick one to start with…

But I had to go with this gorgeous bikini from !Devious Minds. This is the “Sea Breeze” suit and you can pick it up for 0L and a little hunting. The suit comes in three luscious colors: the Watermelon, I’m wearing, as well as ‘Beach’ and ‘Coral’. each one is just as pretty as the last. So why not collect all of them?!

The FabFree enchanted Forest Hunt runs until July 22nd so why not get lost in the woods?

Heart Songs

Hey FabFree! I’m feeling very mellow today, very much a wander in the meadows following the butterflies sort of feeling. Maybe it’s the beautiful SIM. Maybe it’s time of year. It could be the beautiful BoHo blouse and skirt I found over at the Witchwood Petite Mort Spring BoHo Hunt!

I do love it when two of my favorite designers team up for one of their awesome Hunts and sales! The Spring Hunt is accompanied this year by a huge sale in both stores. You can get 50% off the entire store until May 7! This does exclude Gachas and New items but it still leaves a ton of great bargains! 

The Hunt is happening between the stores and you can pick up a notecard at the landing point with clues and info and a cute little rose basket for free. Each item on the hunt is priced between 10L to 20L. I have never been disappointed with anything I ever got from Oubliette or Petite Mort and these Hunt items are no different. The details, textures and build are all perfect!  So don’t let anything stop you from loading up on these gorgeous spring clothes!  The Hunt and sale run until May 2 so don’t delay.
