Simply Fabulous Free and Under L$75 Finds in Second Life – Since 2007


The Naughty Housewife

Dubai Event & Emerald Dreams

Ladies.  It’s confession time.  I “may” have gone a little nuts at the Dubai Event.  Most stands have a 49L sale item, and, well, I just couldn’t help myself.  There were soooo many cool items to chat about, but I have to focus on just a few.  I found this cute little 49L dress called Callie from Rainn and simple sweet Sherri heels (also 49L) from Tantrum.

Dubai Event

The cute little retro dress only comes in this color, but I love Tiffany blue, so I liked it right away.  The shoes…oh Ladies…the SHOES!  The HUD has all KINDS of colors and three areas to choose what you want.  They are simple yet pretty and go with any outfit you might have stashed away.

Dubai Event: The Shoes

As I was putting together this outfit with the 49L pose set called “This Beautiful Life” from West End, I totally got the “naughty housewife” vibe…I mean, I DID just spend, um, a lot, on makeup, shoes, clothes and, well, if I were a wife, I’d definitely be a naughty one!

Pretty Little Loves: Raindale & The Beauty Factory

The Beauty Factory & Raindale

Like our fabulous readers, I run out and check out all of Aline’s fabulous finds.  She posted about The Beauty Factory’s awesome 1000L credit here, and I had to run over.  Wow.  What a treat!!!  These are unique threads that are so pretty.  There are a hot pile of group gifts AND the 1000L bought a few very pretty outfits, too!!!  Did I mention the group is FREE???  It was really hard to pick JUST ONE outfit, so I went with the group gift, Megan.  She is so delightful!!!  She comes with both the gown and the panties.  She is both sexy AND classy, and I love that combination! You’ll want to hurry though, this deal ends TODAY!

I also ran over to one of my favorite stores, Raindale, to pick up their March group gifts.  How cute is this set up???  It comes with everything you see except my horse, Dante. The group join cost is 250L, but every month, they have a set of 4-5 themed gifts that you can place out as a group or use individually.

Beauty & Brillancia

Brillancia ~ Caroline

I love fun fashion.  New designs really get me excited, and Brillancia is a store full of really fresh designs that are totally affordable.  In addition to their line of clothing, they have one of THE MOST EPIC free group gifts walls on the grid which includes a 500L giftcard!  The group is FREE to join!  This will matter in a hot minute.

While I was in the store picking up all the FREE group goodies, I saw this amazing post-apocalyptic outfit offered up at the Tres Chic Event, so I moseyed on over, and, wow, I was not disappointed.  This outfit, which costs 250L for the top and bottom, comes in a wide range of colors with bling and non-bling versions.  This is one hot outfit to use that FREE 500L gift card on!!!  I will warn you, though, if you look around the store, you might find about 50 OTHER cool outfits, too.

The Luck of the Draw!

Bring on the Night
Ladies, it’s Confessions with Desi.  I miss Gachas.  I loved me a good Gacha event back in the day (like last year).  But, the rules changed and now we have Next Up machines.  I will admit that I am kind of a fan of them, as I am wasting a lot less money on  stuff I don’t want, but I am not standing around for days hoping someone pulls the stuff I don’t like so I can get what I do.  It’s an odd joy when I show up to a machine and there are back to back prizes that I really like.  Such was the case at the Evil Bunny Productions “Up for Grabs” Next Up Event.  The event runs until February 28th.

I picked up the free gifts at some of the vendors and then looked over the machines.  There were some cute things I really wanted, but, alas, they weren’t the next up items…they weren’t even on the board yet…so I will have to wait for a Next Up Yardsale.  But, then….THEN…I got to the Fatal Fashion machine!  Waiting for my 50L pull was this adorable little dress and the next item was, luckily, the matching panties!

The Britches!

How lucky!!!  I quickly scored these two fine articles of virtual bliss for 50L each before someone else jumped in to steal my pull (I mean, that’s never actually ever happened anywhere, but there is a real fear).  I love this cute little outfit!!!

The Girl Next Door in a [Well Made] Outfit

[Well Made] Astra Outfit
I am a sucker for a nicely made outfit with parts I can choose to wear or not.  The Astra Outfit is this week’s 50L Weekly Limited selection from [Well Made].  There are actually three parts to it…the sweater, the skirt AND a warm fuzzy fleece jacket.  I chose not to wear the jacket because it covered this amazing sweater that I think is so incredibly pretty.  The HUD has many colors to mix and match to create a look that truly reflects my girl-next-door personality.

But…here is the catch.  There are a limited number of copies for this fabulous outfit, soooooo…run, run, run!  Go grab her!

Hello Tuesday: ADD’s Christy Bodysuit

Hello Tuesday ADD Bodysuit

I am huge fan of Hello Tuesday. Held weekly on the Cosmopolitan Sim, I always find at least one fantastic deal. This week, I found ADD’s simple yet sexy Christy bodysuit! It only comes in light purple, but for 50L it is worth its weight in pixelated gold! It’s so pretty and fit Maitreya perfectly!  For the photo above, I kept things simple with a ballet pose.

It’s Cold Outside

Cold Outside

Sometimes I am pretty certain I enjoy the fantasy version of cold weather much more than the reality of cold weather. As a southern girl I find I am just not cut out for all that a white winter entails. Virtual winter however is an entirely different story. I love the beautiful winter settings and the ever falling snow. I also love the excuse to have an extensive winter wardrobe. Beautiful Dirty Rich has out this cozy cropped sweater group gift, and my earrings and necklace are a stunning jewelry set gift by Cae at FaMESHed. Keep reading and I’ll give you more details, along with the how and where to get these fabulous gifts.

Beautiful Dirty Rich

I’m a sucker for a pretty sweater. This cropped cable-knit sweater by Beautiful Dirty Rich is free for store group members. Right now the B.D.R. group is free to join. The sweater is their latest group gift, and there are several previous group gifts still available. This fuzzy little sweater comes in quite a few sizes, and has a color change hud with 30 solid color choices. The hud will also allow you to custom tint the sweater. Honestly, it was hard to pick which color to wear!

Sizes Included: Belleza (Isis, Freya), Maitreya Lara/Petite, Slink (Physique, Hourglass/Petite), MeshBody Legacy/Perky + Alpha Layer

Cae

There are tons of free gifts at FaMESHed this round. To get them, you’ll need to join the FaMESHed event group, which is free to join. That said, the earrings and necklace I am wearing are together the free gift by Cae at FaMESHed. I love the classic look of this jewelry set, and all of the customization options. The jewelry has resize scripts for easy fitting, and a color change hud with 6 metal choices, and 15 choices for the gemstones.

WOW… it’s the end of November… already! Winter is right around the corner. Of course, lot’s of us have already seen snow and cold temps so that corner is not far off.  With all this weather, I decided to do a one store indoors Hunt for the Blog today.

When I got the notice that LsR was doing a 15L in store Winter Hunt, I hollered at Aline, “Did you get this? Let’s go hunt, girl!” And we jumped right in! Cause great minds think alike! And we even ended up picking very similar outfits for some matchy matchy goodness.

I’m wearing the frilly little ‘Sexy Sannae’ dress. You’ll get a HUD to change the color of the ruffle on both the sleeves and the bodice. Be sure to wear your nice panties with this one, ladies cause it is a little cheeky. 😉

Aline picked out the ‘Sexy Yanika’ dress today. If you pick this one too, you’ll actually get three dresses for your 15L prize money. The dress comes in white, white with a polka dot print and a white lace pattern. Plus a HUD to change the color of the buttons.

Sizes Included for Both

  • Belleza – Freya, Isis
  • Legacy
  • Maitreya
  • Maitreya Petite *
  • SLink – Hourglass

* Yanika doesn’t include the Maitreya Petite size

The LsR Winter Hunt only runs until the 5th of December so hurry hurry and get your hunt on!

Happy happy weekend Fab Free! Whatever your weekend plans may be, I hope they include something fun. Fashion has always been something I enjoy. My favorite part of finding things for Fab Free is dressing up in them. For this post I’m sharing the free group gift at Gawk! and the free group gift No Cabide along with a free group gift pose set by Versuta. Have a wonderful weekend Fab Free’rs!

Gawk!

I have been wearing this dress from Gawk! for a few days now. It’s so cute on, I don’t want to take it off. It’s their most recent group gift. I love the paisley print, and the muted fall colors. This paisley print dress comes with a color change hud with three color choices. The Gawk! group is free to join at this time as well.

Sizes Included: Maitreya Lara & Petite

No Cabide

No Cabide is celebrating their group members and gifting us with the cutest boots! These wedged combats are so fun and have a ton of color options. The hud has quite a few solid colors to pick from in 8 separate parts of the boot. That will make more sense when you get yours! lol I know my photo is dark, so I’ve added the vendor photo for these cute cute cute boots below. The No Cabide group is free to join, and you’ll find these boots in the past notices.

Sizes Included: Maitreya, Legacy, Slink, Belleza, Unrigged

Versuta

It’s no secret that as a blogger and photographer I’m a sucker for free poses. Versuta has a free to join group and several group gift sets of very cute female poses as group gifts. The pose I used in my photo is from their November group gift pose set “Sayuri.” It has five static poses.
