Autumn Luck

Lucky Board Love

In the last few months, I have been too impatient to play lucky boards. I think that happens when you’ve been on SL for a few years. Eventually, you say… “meh, I’m too lazy to camp…” However, sometimes it is SO worth it, so I’ve been trying to play all the boards I’ve missed lately. I keep a little folder of LMs to hop to, hoping my letter will show up. I got some luck at Look At Me and Lybra, and I’ll show you what I won today from their great lucky boards.

The first lucky board prize I won is from Look At Me, and no group is needed to play the boards there. I love the Nadine dress in brown, and it’s free! The dress comes with a HUD that allows you to change the colours of the metals.

• Lara
• Legacy
• Freya
• Hourglass
• Petite

The second lucky board prize I want to share are these fabulous heels. I just love these. These are free at Lybra on their lucky boards. You need to join their free group to get their lucky board prizes. You can win these fantastic shoes in black (shown here) or red. I landed both pairs and I couldn’t be happier. The shoes include a hud that allows you to change the textures of the metals and the soles of the shoe.

Sizes Included (Shoes)

• Belleza Freya
• Maitreya
• Erika
• Hourglass
• Legacy
• Kupra

Some new Gifts from DeeTaleZ

DeeTaleZ has some new group gifts out for their group members. Their group is currently free to join, and all of the gifts there are free group gifts. You will find the group gifts in the Lelutka EvoX section of the store.

• My lipstick is from a natural pack of BOM lipsticks, which is one of the new group gifts.
• I am also wearing the “liquid” eyeshadows, which come in BOM layers in several different colours.

Sizes Included (lipstick & eyeshadow)

• BOM layers for Lelutka EvoX

Enjoy, FabFree!

My Autumn Gallery

Welcome To The Fall Showing

Fall is my favourite decorating season. I put up a little autumn gallery made up of art I picked up at the Fall Festival, a fall-themed event that is running until October 1st at Malus Park. I have a couple of 50L pieces and a free painting to show you from this event, so check out the following designer’s booths to get these fall art pieces for a fabulous price!

• The painting with the woman and the fall leaves is a free gift from Katharine Littlepaws Art Gallery.
• The “Pumpkin Season” framed artwork is 50L from Cotton Blossom Artwork.
• The “Fall is my Favorite Color” framed poster is also 50L, and you will also find this art work in Cotton Blossom Artwork’s booth.

On Me

• My outfit is a free lucky board prize at Shanti. No group join is required to play the boards. This prize is called the “Upside Down Bohemian Outfit”. This is a Stranger Things reference for all the fans of the popular supernatural 80’s-era Netflix series. The set includes a top and skirt which can be worn separately. The outfit is textured with a black and white pattern which looks perfect for Halloween coming up! It fits Freya, Isis, Venus, Ebody Classic, Lara, Physique, Legacy, and Tonic Curvy & Fine.
• The choker and earrings I am wearing are from The Arcade, and they are 50L per play from Heartsdale Jewellery. You can see a key below of all the pretty prizes available. There are 12 pieces of jewelry from this designer to collect at the September round of The Arcade, which is available to play until September 30th. If you need more information about how The Arcade works, please read Aline’s recent post here which explains it much better than I can!

Enjoy the show, FabFree!

FabFree Designer Features: Vips Creations

Hey FabFree! It’s been a hot minute since I did a FabFree Designer Features post, but I’m back today with a feature on Vips Creations. Vips Creations specializes in women’s mesh clothing, and they have many elegant and beautiful designs to choose from.

FabFree Group Gift

The current FabFree group gift at Vips Creations is the Louissa outfit in silver and white. It includes a dress and shoes. Many outfits Vips Creations sells include an outfit and shoes combo, so it’s a lovely set. The FabFree group is always free to join. To join the group, copy and paste the following link into SL: secondlife:///app/group/020fa7af-444d-f54f-01e2-557ec06315fd/about.

Store Group

VIP Creations also has exclusive gifts for their VIP group. The group gifts change every couple of months. The group only costs 2L, so it’s a great investment. The current gift up on the wall is the “Karen Spring” outfit, which includes a dress with red poppies on it and red shoes.

Other Freebie Groups’ Gifts

There are a number of additional free gifts at Vips Creations, if you join various freebie groups posted near their VIP group gift. Below is a list of these groups’ gifts currently available with information about the groups. Most of these groups are free to join, but some of them have a small join fee. It is worth these small fees to get access to great gifts across the grid.

Lucky Boards

VIP Creations also has many lucky boards to play at their store, and they are free for all to play (no group required). The lucky boards contain rotating prizes for Mesh and Classic avatars, so hopefully theres some free goodies in there for everyone!

Have a wonderful evening, FabFree!

Rain

Hey Fab Fam! I hope your Monday is treating you well. It’s still cold and snowy here in the real world but all the fresh Spring stuff is out n the stores both here and on the Grid. But I just get the shivers when I see a spring sun dress or bikini as the snow drifts past my window!  So when my letter came up on a Lucky Board while I was over at Siss Boom AND it was a cozy looking top… I grabbed it!

This is the “Velour” top in navy and you can grab it too when your letter pops up. Siss Boom has… get this… 65 lucky boards that require NO group to play! That means the whole alphabet plus more could be up at one time. You’re pretty much guaranteed to win something.

Sitting Pretty with Siss Boom

 

SL Fashion has changed so much since I logged in for the first time in 2006. But, what hasn’t changed is our desire to find classy unique clothing.

I’ve been a lover of Siss Boom ever since Designer Lestat Reuven opened her doors fifteen years ago. I absolutely love her fresh pretty style AND her affordable clothing! Her whole main line is so different and classy in a range of pastels that speak to a softer, gentler look.

What’s even better is that the Siss Boom group is only L50 to join, and she is always putting out amazing group gifts while leaving previous group gifts up for grabs to new group members. She also runs gorgeous limited special collections like Winter Softly.

While I’ve maxed out my groups in SL and play “group list Jenga” at least three times a week, I can honestly say, hands down, Siss Boom is one of my favorite groups and has never been considered for a cut.

Back in the day, we only had 10 (TEN….TEN!) group spots, and we were excited when they raised it to 25. Now, maxed out at 70 seems like a chore. Why can’t it be 100???? Are you out of group room, too? No problem, you can still slap Siss Boom‘s Lucky Boards for FREE!!!

I can’t tell you how many nice gifts I’ve received through Siss Boom‘s very generous wall of lucky boards. There are at least 30 boards on the main wall, and on Saturday, when Siss Boom is closed for Sabbath (Sundown to Sundown, Friday through Saturday, EST), her outpost has lucky boards on a large wall and on a smaller vestibule wall.

To write this post, I stood at Siss Boom for about 30 minutes today and collected 7 gifts from the board. They were all beautiful, but I really fell in love with this outfit. The Crochet Dress in Creamy can be worn with or without flexi attachments (we old school avies have a lost love for the flexi ;p). The pack also includes mirrors of the attachments so you can choose how to wear them.

So, if you want to spend some time sorting inventory and want to add to your personal collection, head on over to Siss Boom and get some fabulously pretty new duds from those very lucky boards!

Sizes:

• eBody Curvy
• Freya
• Hourglass
• Isis
• Physique
• Venus

Short and Sweet

Hey Fab Fam! I have a short and sweet post today. But that’s okay cause the cute dress I’m showing off is short and sweet too!

This is the ‘Nova Serene’ dress from Telsiope’s Couture and I was lucky enough to get it for free! I just popped over to the store and spotted the mix and match game board. It took about three or four tries and bam! I got it! There’s no group to join or anything. But you’ll want to join Telsiope’s Couture’s free Subscribe group because there’s always something pretty as the Subscriber’s Gift. So head over and try your luck too!

A Trendy Anniversary 

Trend is celebrating their anniversary! This generous creator has set out 17 new group gifts at their store to mark the occasion, and a whooping 1, 000 Linden in free store credits until October 28th. Their group will be free to join until October 30th. They also have a bunch of lucky boards to play! If that isn’t cause for celebration I don’t know what is. With my credits, I purchased the witch eyeshadow and lipstick! I love it!

More Goodies

 Some other steals shown in my look today are:

• My intricate gothic necklace costs only 10 Linden at Mad Circus 7. You will find this in Ari-Pari’s booth and it comes in gold, silver, copper, rose, and other metals. Each booth at the event has an item on sale for 10 Linden. 
• The gorgeous tangerine skirt is a lucky board prize for group members at Pink Cream Pie. This skirt is available in several colours. The boards move fast and they have a number of new products in them. The skirt is sized for Freya, Lara, and Legacy. The Pink Cream Pie group costs 314L to join.  
• My pose is from the free Silent series by An Lar on the Marketplace. 

Enjoy, FabFree!

Weekend Sweetness

Hey gang!

Sometimes on the weekend you just wanna lay around and feel sexy.  Or maybe just lay around and feel cute in general. ORRRR you are maybe a party animal and you just need something to wake up in and maybe try to look like you don’t have a hangover.  Whatever the case may be, I gotcha covered!  I found this cute little number (your tushie is mostly out in the back) for just those purposes (not to be confused with porpoises!  I’m sure dolphins aren’t really bothered by what we are wearing!) for free at the Sugar Dolls lucky Boards.  There is no group required, so yay!  And they have a number of cute goodies for you to grab when your letter comes up.

This one fits:

• Freya
• Hourglass
• Kupra
• Legacy
• Maitreya
• Physique

Happy weekend!

• Maitreya
• Hourglass
