Hello Hello Fab Free’rs! I hope everyone has been enjoying the weekend so far. It’s been a much needed quiet weekend for me so far. Hopefully things will continue that way! For now I want to share with you this lovely FREEdress from Entice that you can pick up at The Makeover Room. This pretty belted dress comes with a color change hud with options to change the color of the skirt, top, and belt independently. The color choices for the skirt and top part of the dress are black, red, or green. The color choices for the belt are black or silver. To get this dress completely FREE simply head over to The Makeover Room and join the free-to-join Makeover Room in-world group. The gift is sitting next to the subscribo sign.
It’s been a little while since I was last in Paris, so I thought that today would be a good day to take a stroll around the city. Of course, with Paris being the fashion capital of the world, I needed to look my best. Lucky for me, I had a few great group gifts that made me totally look the part.
My bright and summery dress came from a hot tip from Love, about this cute dress being offered as a group gift at CandyMetal. I ran my little booty over there, and knew I had to have it, I mean…just look at that red! The Peggy Summer Dress is mesh, and comes in the standard sizes. The CandyMetal group is free to join, so once you join, and slap your tag on, this beauty is yours, for free, after touching the poster. I just love the sweet bow on the chest.
Speaking of bows, the killer heels I am wearing are also adorned with bows 🙂 The .:ECCO:. Velize 2 in White are a SLF&O’s group gift. These are made for SLink high feet, and there is a second version in the folder that comes without bows, just in case you don’t like bows…but how could you not? The SLF&O’s group is free to join, and if you have your tag on, the shoes are free for you! If you love these shoes, you will be happy to know that there is a second pair available for free for members of our very own Fabulously Free in SL group, which is also free to join (though I am sure most of you reading this blog are already in it). 2 free pairs of sexy heels, just for being in groups you are probably already a part of? *does a happy dance*
*Edit – So sorry folks, when I originally posted this, I thought there was a version for standard AV feet as well, but I am mistaken, so I have removed the part where I said that. Sorry for any inconvenience.
OK, while I loved the look of the shoes and dress alone, I felt, trying to be very fashion conscious, that I needed an accessory. I hopped onto the Marketplace and typed in ‘Clutch’. I know, this cute little purse is not a clutch purse, but that’s ok, the bright colours totally worked with my dress, and best of all? It was only L$1! Score! The My Heart Bag – Dollarbie is from the Marketplace store of Things I Like, and there really is an awful lot of things I like there. You get 2 purses in the folder, each with a slightly different holding pose. Both are set to attach to your right hand, I just did a little adjustment to put it in my left hand so as to work with my pose.
I confess, while I am wandering around Paris, it is actually Paris in 1900. So, despite being fashionable for our time period, I stick out a little. Luckily, landmarks like the Eiffel Tower, and the Arc D’Triumphe are timeless. I highly suggest you come take a look around here if you have never been.
Mes bons amis, il est temps de se dire au revoir, which is french for, My good friends, it is time to say goodbye. Well, at least until I find some other wonderful thing I have to show you all, which will be in no time at all! So until then, c’est tout pour le moment, which is about the same as TTFN *waves*

I have so many cool things for you in this post, that I am just going to get right into it!
The other night, I was idly reading some group chatter, can’t remember for which group, and someone mentioned a store I had never heard of, *CASHMERE&KEANE*. They said it was closing out, and everything was on sale, with stuff for both men and women. While I hate hearing of stores closing, it does usually mean a great bargain for shoppers, and I was not disappointed! Everything in store is L$25, and if you love a retro vibe (especially the ’80’s), you need to head there before they close for good. I picked up a few things, one of my favourites being this mesh, 1 piece, Zapo Jacket/Shirt combo in Orange. There are many colours available, but I just loved this colour, and I didn’t have an orange jacket already, so of course I had to get it! I also picked up these gorgeous SLink mid shoes, the Cassidy Heel, as a fatpack for L$25. Seriously, there are loads of colours, and that tassel is just too darn cute! Lastly, I picked up the Pyramid Watch(platinum), also for L$25. You actually get 2 watches, you get a plain version, and a rainbow version, which I am wearing. There are so many other great quality items, you really should hurry down there, even if you aren’t as thrilled with my choices, I would hate for you to miss out on this sale.
While I was putting my outfit together, digging on the retro vibe, I realized that the leggings in the mesh [LG] Boutique-Call Me Maybe Outfit would totally work for my look. The outfit these leggings are from, are another one of the SLF&O’s free gifts that are available at LivGlam. I love getting full outfits from a store, but I love even more when I can wear those pieces with something else. The studs down the sides of my legs really have that matching retro vibe.
With this definite ’80’s vibe I had going on, I couldn’t believe my luck when I found the sim my main picture was taken on. If you are an 8-bit game fan, you have to go visit. They even have a fun little tutorial that awards you with a prize when you finish it! I had to show it all to you. Yes, that red troopa is me, 8-bit style! There are several different ‘worlds’ to explore here, so take your time and investigate everything! You never know what secret passage ways you will find.
Okay lovelies, I am off for now, until next time…TTFN *waves*

I’m an old-fashioned girl at heart. And yes, even a bit nostalgic at times. I love old-school Hollywood glitz and glamour, so you can bet that I’m loving the current round of Collabor88, where this month’s theme is “Raw Nostalgia.” Simple, yet complicated, but oh so romantic.
I had an “instant crush” on this dress from *{Junbug}* as soon as I saw it. As always, the textures are amazing, and the way the dress drapes across the body is so sensual. And if you think the front is gorgeous, you should see the booty (what I wouldn’t give for my RL booty to look that good)! Available in 7 colors, this dress can be yours at the discounted price of 188L at Collabor88.
Ok, ok, I know that wasn’t free. But what you can find for free is this lovely skin from ::Bite&Claw::. Look for a small gift box near the front door of the store. Oh, and there’s a men’s skin included in the box. Also free is this jewelry set from Beloved, which includes a pretty necklace and earrings. I know you can’t see my earrings (sorry!), but they look like a dangly version of the necklace. And they’re free… I mentioned that, right?
Most of the decor items you see here are by Lark, and are also available at Collabor88. Except for the music box, which is by *MishMish*.

Before I nod off to sleep tonight, I wanted to show you this cute dress. Joey’s Champagne Feathers Dress is the latest group gift from Paisley Daisy. The dress is mesh and comes in 5 standard sizes. I styled it in sort of a flapper look by adding the Pickford Heels by Ingenue and Zelda hair by !lamb. Both are available at this month’s round of Collabor88. My jewelry is Beloved in Gold & Black, a free gift from Virtual Impressions.
‘Night, Fabulouses!

It’s Monday (meh) in RL, but I can pretend that it’s still Sunday in SL! And while I’m pretending it’s still Sunday, I’m going to relax and spend some time on the beach with Nessie. Maybe I’ll even take a nap. 😀
I’m lounging around today in this comfy tank top and shorts, a group gift from new FabDesigner Total Eclipse Couture. The shorts are mesh and come in 5 sizes. The group is free to join, so do check them out! My Diva necklace and blingy ring are free gifts from new-to-me store Purple Rose.
Time for a nap in my Little Dingy, a free gift from aDORKable Poses at FabFree Headquarters. There is also a cute posing bench in the box. Nessie, quit barking and let me sleep!
Heading to a party or just looking to grab the attention of a certain special someone? I guarantee you will not be missed in this smokin’ hot number, Venti Cup Two, the latest gift from Paris METRO Couture at Sydney City. And what you see here is not all you get; there’s another row of sexy slits right down the backside! Sssssizzle! 😉
My pearl jewelry by Dark Mouse is a free gift at FabFree Headquarters, and comes in black, pink, and white. They’ve been shown here at FF by numerous bloggers, which just goes to show you that a great set of pearls really goes a long way! My hair is the latest release from D!va for Collabor88 (188L). It comes in 2 styles with a color change rose and headband.
I was so excited to be invited to sing at this cute club today! My first set is for the lunch crowd, so I’m wearing this sweet, new gift from Paris Metro Couture. I’m wearing the mesh belted skirt, but the dress also comes with a flexi skirt and a cute hat. To get the gift, head over to Sydney City, Australia and join the group (free to join); it’s the one with the kangaroo on it. My jewelry is by Stars! and is a Womenstuff group gift. And my hair? Mana, a new release from D!va, featured at Hair Fair 2013. Now, I’ve been a fan of D!va hair since I first joined SL, but this one is truly amazing. It comes with a “base” hair, and a long, mesh attachment, which I’m wearing here. You can turn the bow and headband off and on individually, and change the color. I really love the ’60s bouffant style. 😎
For my evening set, I’ve selected this amazing gift from Finesmith Jewelry. The July group gift includes this gorgeous, mesh dress, AND all the jewelry I’m wearing! The Finesmith group is currently free to join, so don’t miss out on this fabulous gift. I’m still wearing my Mana hair from D!va, but this time I’ve taken off the mesh part, turned the bow and headband off, and turned ON the bun. If you love messy updos, then this look is definitely for you! D!va is donating 20% of their sales to Wigs for Kids, so you can’t go wrong by supporting this worthwhile cause. 🙂
P.S. Many thanks to Alex Philo, owner of Sydney City, Australia, for going above and beyond to help me out today. Stop by his lovely sim and check it out!
