Soak in the Sun

Hey Fab Free! It’s hard to believe that it’s already July, and there’s a host of new events, hunts and freebies available. Today I am just taking a breath, hanging out with friends and taking in the warm sunshine. I will be showing you a 1L hairstyle through the Beached Bunny Hunt and some Marketplace freebies from ALB Fashion today, so read below for details!

The Adorable Updo

This amazing updo is the prize from EscalateD on the Beached Bunny Hunt. The prizes on this hunt are only 1 L, and this is a great steal for this gorgeous hairstyle. Included in the hair is a huge style HUD which allows you to wear the hair with different options for the bangs, and adjustments of the hair. You can also change the colour of the bow to several cute patterns, and it includes a natural and unnatural colour hud.

I am in love with this salsa dress, which is currently free (0L) on the Marketplace. It looks really stunning and will show off your curves beautifully!  Finally, you can also get these great flats on the marketplace for free as well, and they have a lovely pattern on them. ALB Fashion makes some beautiful clothes, and these finds are just splendid!

This is for all the ghouls and darklings out there. I don’t know if I’m just not ready to let go of spooky season or what, but here I am as a little imp caught in a bell jar, and I am pleased as punch to share this look with you. I am a little bit in love with the freebie head and body wings by Ryuuzaki Lane, and I think they look completely creepy cute with the lingerie group gift set at Maai. If you keep reading I’ll give you the extra details about these freebies, otherwise there’s a full list of credits and links at the end. Thanks for being here!

Ryuuzaki Lane

I’m always a little bit Kitten and a little bit Imp on the inside. It’s moments like these when the Impish side gets to manifest. I couldn’t believe my luck when I stumbled across this adorable set of wings by Ryuuzaki Lane on the Marketplace for free. That’s right, they are 100% free. These are non-rigged so they can be manually resized. They are also low lag since there are no scripts. Lastly, the set comes in 2 color variations. I hope you love them as much as I do.

Maai

The lingerie set I have on is a recent group gift at Maai. It is a basic but pretty little set that is free to all Maai group members. The Maai group is also free to join. This gift comes in black only and is sized for Maitreya Lara. There’s also a group gift set of stockings that would go perfectly with this set.

In His Shirt

I call this look “He left his shirt at my place.” lol In all seriousness though, this mens shirt by Breezy is a free group gift at ACCESS. My cute crystal heart keychain by Movement is also free for ACCESS group members. The ACCESS event runs until September 18, so you have a bit of time to pick up these freebies. Keep reading for a bit of info about each one, or scroll down for full credits.

P.S. If you like my glasses, they are by Adi’s Stuff and you can pick them  up for free on the Marketplace.

Breezy

As I mentioned this is a mens shirt by Breezy. It is sized for male mesh avatars only. I did make some minor changes to my shape for it to fit. I think it looks real cute on. This free group gift at ACCESS includes the tied sweater as part of the shirt. It comes in 2 sizes and has 2 color/texture change huds. One hud is for the shirt, and the other hud is for the sweater. To get your free copy join the free-to-join ACCESS group and click the gift vendor while wearing the group tag.

Sizes Included: Signature Gianni, Belleza Jake

Movement

The free ACCESS group gift by Movement is this adorable keychain I’m dangling while I read my text messages. The keychain has 2 hold poses, the “up” version shown, and a “down” that has you hold the keychain down by your side. The same free-to-join ACCESS group will let you pick up this cute accessory for free, just be sure to wear the group tag when you click the gift vendor.

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.
