I’ll Let You Drive

Hi There Fab Free! Happy Weekend! The weather has been nice, and I’m ready to go for a drive! First, I’ve got a few things I’m excited to share with you today. This hot little car Pru’s posed next to is a 10 linden RFL Home & Garden Expo Hunt gift by Surplus Motors. There are lots of 10L gifts to be found, and the proceeds benefit RFL. Secondly, this summery bandeau style top by De’Fient Unicorn is just 1 linden at ther Spring Cart Sale cart.

The Car – I’m not even sure where to start with this gorgeous vehicle. There are so many cool features. This isn’t just a piece for show, this highly detailed car by Surplus Motors is fully functional. There are seating poses for a driver and a passenger, and the car has manual and automatic drive options. The driver and passenger doors open, as does the hood and the back trunk where the engine is, even the lights are functional. This 10 linden RFL H&G Expo Hunt prize has customization options as well, there are 5 preset colors, and the option to pick your own custom color using RGB values. You can also change the license plate, and so much more. There’s an entire notecard included in the folder for this Lucca Custom car by Surplus Motors that tells you all about each of the many many features. To get your copy of this amazing car, head over to the RFL Home & Garden Expo (sim 5) to the Surplus Motors area. You’ll be looking for a prim version of the round RFL H&G Expo Logo.

The Top – Perfect for a warm weather day, this fishnet bandeau top is just 1 linden at the Spring Cart Sale De’Fient Unicorn cart. This cute dollarbie comes in several sizes, and includes an alpha layer. You know what that means, this one is suitable for classic non-mesh avatars as well as mesh avatars. No groups or tags needed, just head over to the De’Fient Unicorn cart and pay the gift vendor 1 linden.
Sizes Included: Maitreya Lara, Slink (Physique, Hourglass), Classic Mesh (S, L), EBody

P.S. The car keys with the usb port are a Marketplace freebie by Santorini. They attach at the hip but can be edited to use as a cool photo prop as was done for this photo. Get yours for free on the Marketplace.

Pool Side

Hello hello Fab Free’rs! I’m glad you’re here. This cute little pup and I have been having some fun by the pool. Being pools side gave me the perfect excuse to wear this cute little outfit from Tiar. It’s one of the many current Fabulously Free in SL group gifts. I also picked up this cute upper-body tattoo by Primal on the Marketplace after Love pointed it out to me. I really like the freckle-like hearts. I hope you enjoy these fabulous freebies!

The Outfit – This cute little two-piece is perfect for lounging by the pool or walking along the beach. It comes in several mesh sizes and is free to all Fabulously Free in SL group members. You can pick it up at Tiar while wearing your Fabulously Free in SL group tag. At the Tiar landing point you can take the teleporter to the gifts area, or just head strait to the back of the store. This Fab Free gift along with a gift for the guys is waiting with the Tiar group gift, camping chairs, and Lucky Letter boards.
Mesh Sizes Included: Maitreya Lara, Belleza (Isis, Freya, Venus), Slink (Hourglass, Physique)

The Tattoo – I really like that this tattoo by Primal gives you little hearts across your chest and shoulders, as well as on your hands. I think it’s a very dainty tattoo. It is free on the Marketplace. With this free gift you’ll get Omega appliers and classic system layers in Faded, Normal, and Fresh options. The system layers make this tattoo suitable for classic avatars as well as mesh.

P.S. Two of the pool-side props are Marketplace freebies/cheapies I wanted to let you in on as well. I’ll link them in the credits with their cost so you can pick them up as well!

Circa 1998

Hello hello Fab Free’rs! I hope you’ve had a chance to enjoy the past weekend. I personally have been thankful for the reprieve from Real Life that Second Life offers. As it’s been mentioned multiple times already, sweater season is in full swing, and I’m never tired of hearing that. If given a choice, I’ll take sweater weather over any other type of weather! With that in mind, I was out shopping recently and came across a group gift at The Little Bat that I hadn’t seen before. This group gift sweater was the inspiration for this look, instant ’90s nostalgia for this girl! A grunge rock anthem playing in my mind I found a lace choker from CHAIN on the Marketplace, and finished the look with a gift hairstyle by Alice Project that I picked up at Hairology.

This over-sized black sweater with plaid accents is exactly the kind of sweater I want to wear with some leggings while I curl up, have a cup of coffee, and read a book or binge watch my favorite tv show. I also think it’s totally cute with jeans and some boots. It’s the perfect “Netflix and Chill” kind of sweater. The best part its, it’s FREE at The Little Bat, just gotta join the group and wear your tag. The Little Bat group is FREE to join. With the sweater you’ll also get a color change hud that allows you to choose between a few color options to change the color of the plaid parts of the sweater.

With the plunging neckline of my sweater, and that sort of ’90s style, I wanted to wear a choker style necklace. CHAIN has this perfect pretty lace choker available for 1 linden on the Marketplace. I think the detail of this choker is beautiful. Also, it has a color change hud that will let you change the lace from black to white, and the choker has resize scripts so you can adjust the size by clicking it. I have to admit, I kinda want to wear this choker with everything!

Finally, I’m sure you’ve heard by now that Hairology is celebrating their first Anniversary round. As a bonus, most of the participating designers have FREE or dollarbie gifts out to celebrate! The hair pictured is one of two gift hairstyles from Alice Project. The Alice project gift is FREE. In their gift you’ll get two hairstyles, Kelly (shown), and Nicki II, both styles have a “winter compilation” color change hud with a generous number of options. I think just about everyone would be able to find a hair color in the hud that suited their personal style. Needless to say, you won’t want to miss out on this or the other gifts at Hairology.

Here are the details, Enjoy!

Get !gO!ne

When the heat gets to be more than I can handle, dipping your feet in some cool clear water is a favorite way to cool down and cool off. It also helps to wear loose-fitting comfortable clothing like this orange and white gingham dress from gO!. This fully mesh dress is the latest group gift at gO!, and as always the details and textures are beautiful. This FREE group gift comes in a fitted mesh size, a Maitreya Lara size, a Slink Hourglass size, and a Slink Physique size. Also included in the gift box is a matching alpha layer. To get this cute dress, head over to gO! and join the VIP group, then click the gift vendor while wearing your group tag. The gO! VIP group has a one time join fee of 50 lindens.
Also, I picked up this Catwa lash applier by Kokolores on the Marketplace for FREE. I feel like I have neglected to try lash appliers with the mesh heads, and I’ve been meaning to. These lashes by Kokolores are, I think, nice and full looking which goes along with the name “Mascara Lashes”. They do have the appearance of wearing mascara in a way. The applier works for Catwa heads only, and will change the upper and lower lashes with just a click. So if you’re looking for something slightly more dramatic than what comes with your Catwa head, these are an excellent FREE option.

Here are the details, Enjoy!

Lucia

Hi there FabFree! Before I head off for the night, I wanted to pop by and let you know about a free Catwa Skin Applier that is available on the Marketplace!  For those of you with a Catwa Mesh Head, Pumec is offering their Lucia skin priced at 0L.  I am not sure how long this offer will be valid, but it’s quite pretty – so pick it up before it’s too late.

I am wearing the free PUMEC Lucia Gift Skin on my Catwa Candy Head, although it will work on any Catwa Head.  In the folder you will find the Catwa Head Applier with three versions of eyebrows (brown, black, none), matching body appliers for Slink, Maitreya and Belleza as well as Freckle option and a HUD for mesh body parts.  A system skin is even included for those still using the basic body.

American Pie

This sassy cute t-shirt is a current FREE group gift at Lemonicity, and I really can’t argue with such a sound statement! hahaha Okay okay I might be a tad biased, but I still think this tee is really fun. The shirt reads “American Girls Sweet as Cherry Pie”, and I like the pie graphic a lot. The top is fully mesh and comes in various sizes, with the graphic on the front and the back of the shirt. This shirt would be great for a 4th of July gathering in just a few weeks. The Lemonicity group is FREE to join, so don’t miss this cute gift!

In addition to this great shirt, I am excited to be showing you the latest FREE group gift from Essences. I always enjoy skins from Essences, and this one has some really great features. I’m kinda partial to the dark lips and heavy brows of this “Kendra” skin. There  is no need to join an in-world group to get this awesome gift, just head over to Essences, join the subscribo (if you haven’t already) and click the gift vendor right next to the subscribo. The skin comes in the Medium01 tone with various brow options. **Appliers sold separately.

Have An Open Heart

Good news Fabulouses!  We made it through the  middle of the week 🙂  How’s that for an accomplishment? lol

I received a hot tip from FabFree Reader Piper Swords yesterday about a gorgeous group gift she thought you all might like to know about.  At Styles by Danielle, inworld group members can pick up the Estelle Christmas Jubilee Dress.  The group is 200L to join, and there are currently two gifts available.  The Estelle Christmas Jubilee Dress does come with a poinsettia adornment for the bodice, but since Christmas is over, I decided to just leave it off.  This partial mesh gown makes for smooth moves when dancing and I think could be used as a simple wedding gown too.

Thank you Piper for the heads up, and please do keep those tips coming – We appreciate them!

The Open Heart Necklace can be found in the Sweet Gift marketplace store, priced at 0L.
