A Subject Self-Defined

I love this backdrop. There’s something about it that screams “contemporary art” which I love. Plus, it’s such an interesting statement! “A subject self-defined”- what does that even mean? Anyways… it’s time to step aside from my philosophical ramblings for the night, as I have a few great freebies to share so let’s get to the details.

Lemonade, please?

If all the pretentiousness of this talk about philosophy and the art world is making you thirsty, make sure you grab this cute pose and lemonade from micamee. It’s called “lemonade potion” and it’s a free group gift. I LOVE this item.

More Scandal

A lot from Scandalize has been featured on the blog lately, and I have yet another goodie to share from this beloved designer. These sneakers/runners are free fatpack for members of the free SL Scandals & News Group. It comes with a hud that allows you to change the textures and colours of the bows, laces, soles and body of the shoe allowing for endless customization!

Sizes:

• Slink
• Maitreya
• Belleza

The Body Art 4 Hunt

Finally, I have a lovely hunt gift to share with you that is on the Body Art 4 Hunt. These are the stained glass nails by Ari-Pari and I’m simply in love with these nails. I am so happy with the recent nail creations by Ari-Pari. They are just perfectly made and this new set is bedazzling! These nails are only 1 L on the hunt and they work perfectly on my Belleza Freya body.

Cuteness

Valentine’s is the perfect season for looking cute, which we all do. It’s time to get cute ladies, and today I’ll show you how to achieve this great look.

Another 500 L Giftcard!

I am unloading the news of gift credits this week, and Trend has a 500L Credit at their store out for group members. As far as I am aware, this offer ends and the credit expires on the 14th so go quickly. You must join their group to get in on this offer and the group costs 150L to join currently. I purchased the replay eyeshadow and queen eyelashes with the gift. I also grabbed all their group gifts at the back of the store, and a lipstick pack which is a free Second Life Frees & Offer (SLFO) group gift.

The Cuteness

The rest of my cute outfit is made up of freebies and cheapies I’ve been collecting all over the grid. Here are the details of my outfit:

• The hair is another group gift in the no.match group. This is the “No Addiction” hair, and it is located at the top of the building (cam up to the roof to grab it). The no.match group costs 50 L to join.
• The dress is a 10 L special by Ari-Pari at the Love Hurts Hunt. You can grab a total of 5 dresses at the hunt for 10 L each (see hunt key below). There are lots of designers offering cheap gifts at this event, and you can find more information about the hunt here.
• The sparkly nails are a group gift at Ari-Pari, which costs 25 L to Join. The nails come in 6 colour options, and they are super cute.
• These sandals, which I LOVE, are a free gift from Mangula at the Shop & Hop. They have a free 300 L credit there as well, so grab that reward while you’re there (it expires on Febuary 20th).
• The pose I am using is also a free group gift at Mirinae. They have a bunch of free group gifts and they are well worth checking out if you are in need of new poses like I always am!

Happy Valentine’s Eve, Fab Free!

Still celebrating a day later

Halloween may be over, but I just had to show of one more great Halloween find.  I found these cute tights for free by Fu, who runs the shop Funny Honey. The tights come in six different colors with both BOM and Maitreya appliers.  You can find them at Cafe Nekodamari. (there are also matching mani-pedi set with Maitreya applier for free at her Funny Honey main store.)  These Tara Heels by Dore Papillon Boutique complimented the tights perfectly and were another free gift from the Halloween Sales event running until November 4th.

If you haven’t had your fill of the spooky, Necrotize, by the Second Life Syndicate is open until November 20th.  The theme is Cyber Horror and the free gifts are all in creepy alien eggs in front of the vendor’s booths.  The crop top I am wearing is a gift from Ramen from the event.  Second Life Syndicate is also hosting their own hunt called Halloween at the Headquarters, and all the prizes are 0-10L. The Crucible tattoo from Cubic Cherry (as seen first in this Fab Finds post by Ailne) was free.

Patio Time

I’ve been chilling at the patio at Arthouse Night Cafe and enjoying my afternoon with some coffee and cake. This sure is a nice break from being stuck inside for so long! It was important that I looked great for the first time I saw my friends in months, so I got together a great outfit from Insomnia Store , and other finds from Ascendant, Piixcys Store, and Luxrebel.

Lucky Boards at Insomnia

Insomnia Store currently has 8 lucky letters out. I am wearing the golden Sexy Lazy Blouse & Harness Bra and the Vintage Denim Shorts. Their clothes are so nice and this set was too adorable not to share. To get the lucky boards, you must join their free group and click the board when your letter comes up.

Sizes included:

• Freya
• Maitreya
• Hourglass

Free Nails!

Ascendant also has a whole load of group gifts- all gorgeous nails which are free with their free group. Right now, I am wearing their most recent pride rainbow nails gift, but there are many past gift nails up for grab as well. The nails fit Maitreya, Belleza, and Legacy bodies.

More goodies from the Stay at Home Club!

I’ve been working my way through some of the July gifts from the Stay at Home Club. They have archived the gifts by month on their website, which is super helpful! I got these great black heels as a stay at home gift from a new-to-me store, Piixcys Store. As all stay at home gifts, these shoes are free.

Sizes included:

• Belleza
• Maitreya
• Slink

Gorgeous Lips

Finally, Luxrebel has some gorgeous lipsticks out as gifts for members of their VIP group, which costs 100 L to join. These lipsticks fit Genus heads only and they come in nine lovely shades.

Thanks for reading, Fab Free!

A Steamy Advent Calendar

Hey, Fab Free! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! I know no one likes when Monday comes around but I have some pretty awesome freebies to share with you from Cremosas right now, so I hope this cheers you up from those Monday blues!

Cremosas’ February Advent Calendar

Today I am showing you a selection of free items from Cremosas, which are available to get until February 29th. These lovely presents are just a taste of some of the gifts you can get from their February Advent Calendar. Cremosas has been so generous that they have kept the advent train going since December- and been giving away a free advent gift every day since December 1st. You can grab their past advent prizes for the month of February for free now at their mainstore. Simply find the calendar, join the free Cremosas group, and click the numbers of each day of the month on their calendar. There are currently 24 gifts available for the month, and there will be a new one released each day until the 29th.

Steamy Advent Prizes

The prizes on the advent calendar for this month are really nice- and quite steamy! There is a lot of lingerie, sexy shoes and cute finds in many different colours. It’s a lovely selection of gifts. Naturally, I gravitated toward these great black boots, (which are sized for Freya, Isis, Venus, Hourglass, Physique and Maitreya) (Day 4 gift) and this sexy dress (Day 5 gift) to make this outfit. I am also wearing a set of their heart bento nails (which work with Belleza, Slink and Maitreya), which is the gift for day 11.

Dress Sizes

• Freya
• Isis
• Venus
• Hourglass
• Physique
• Maitreya

And a Free Choker to Top it off!

The perfect acccesory to complete this outfit is a free gift which you can grab at the current round of Access. It is a choker which comes in pink and red by Slightly Rebellious. Just head over to their booth at the event to pick it up.

Want Cremosas’ previous Advent gifts too?

If you want to get Cremosas‘ past advent prizes from December and January as well, they are all available as group gifts in the Cremosas VIP group, which costs 100 L to join. They are available in the store next to the current advent calendar. Enjoy!

Have fun, Fab Free!

A tale of Ice Cream and Kittens

Today we find a rather glum Zsa.  I told her that if she still wanted to buy stuff on top of all the freebies and cheapies all us FabFree girls hunt down, she had to get a job.  I found her one in the local ice cream parlour, The Sugar Bowl, but she is not impressed, and spent her days day dreaming about Elvis, and trying to avoid damaging her new manicure.

At least she dressed well for her first day at her new job, and her outfit includes 2 group gifts and a dress that cost very little.

The dress…..

….. is from Bowtique and available on the marketplace for just 50L includes a 25 option texture change hud.

Sizes Included:

• Maitreya (with autohide)
• Fitmesh
• 5 fitmesh standard avatar sizes (alphas included)

The Sparkly Stuff….

…..consists of group gifts from Cae. The group is free to join, and there are other gifts to pick up including the companion necklace for this bracelet and earrings.

And finally….

…….Kitty nails!  Zsa, like the person behind the monitor, is animal obsessed (you should see her Jian folder), with a particular love of cats, bats, elephants and goats – but cats always come first.  One of many free group gifts available from Alme is a kitten manicure! The group costs 50L to join but there are frequent gifts and a wall of previous gifts to pick up.  The Alme system uses an easy hud allowing you to apply to all these systems with a click.  To pick your gifts up just put your Alme tag on, and pay the vendor 1L, which will immediately be refunded).

• • Alme
  • Belleza
  • Slink
  • Maitreya
  • Omega
  • Vista
  • Tuty’s

As you can’t see the nails very well, here is a vendor pic:

Must dash, I need to search for another job for Zsa, I don’t think this one will last very long.  She switched the fridge off by mistake and all the ice cream melted.  Whoops.

Sugar Lips

Hey Fab Free!

It’s always fun to get free makeup, because you get to try out some fun looks that you might not usually choose for yourself!  My recent visit to the Candy Fair brought me just such an opportunity, as I picked up a few fun little gifties! You can see the other gifts I picked up HERE.

Sugar-Sweet

My sparkly, sugary lipstick was a fun free gift from Pout! at the Candy Fair It comes in several different shades, and I think it looks quite fun for a night out with friends!  This lipstick comes with an applier for both Catwa and Lelutka.

Macaron Madness

Another little gift at the Candy Fair was the pretty nail polish applier from alaskametro.  I’ve only shown one of the options available, but there are a total of 15 different nail designs, all inspired by my fave french patisserie – the macaron!  This free gift comes with nail appliers for Maitreya and Slink, and there’s an Omega applier in there for good measure!  Here’s a close up of my nails for ya!

Pocket full of Poses

Last but not least, I always enjoy a good bento pose.  I love the way your fingers can get expressive!  This pose from Foxcity is only 1L on the marketplace!  Super cute!  You can grab this pose right here:

• LINK TO MARKETPLACE

Well, Fab Free – I’d like to wish our American readers a very Happy Thanksgiving.  Although I’ve already celebrated Thanksgiving this year (up here in Canadaland!) I’m very thankful to be part of this awesome blogging family – thank YOU all for welcoming me so warmly.

Fab Free Designer Friday – 03/03/2017 – La Boheme

Happy Friday Fab Free’rs! Thanks for being here. I am happy to share with you this week’s Fab Free Designer, La Boheme. This quaint little shop is a one-stop-shop for your makeup and nail applier needs, though La Boheme is probably best known for their beautiful nail appliers. Located on the coveted Wash sim, the La Boheme store has a boutique-like feel. It’s small enough that you won’t be over-whelmed, and still large enough that you can comfortably browse the merchandise.

Just as you enter you’ll be greeted by a large stone fireplace that creates an inviting atmosphere. It’s on the shelves around the fireplace that you’ll find the “wall of information” for La Boheme. On the shelves you’ll notice various group and event affiliations. Directly across from the hearth you’ll find several 55 Thursday special nail applier sets marked at 55 lindens per set. Additionally, there is the most recent Fab Free exclusive group gift by La Boheme. These lovely appliers will work with Omega, Maitreya, and Slink nails If you’re a Belleza nail wearer the information at La Boheme says the Omega applier will work, as long as you have the appropriate relay for Omega/Belleza. As always the Fab Free exclusive group gift is FREE. You just need to wear your group tag. In the attached second room, you’ll find more nail appliers and some beautiful makeup appliers. Don’t miss the chance to stop by La Boheme and add some uniquely pretty makeup and nail polish looks to your wardrobe!

Witchy Woman

I love October in Second Life.  The changing colors, haunted houses, amazing costumes, and the HUNTS!  Among many great events this fall is the CroM Halloween hunt!  Hidden around the store are 5 pumpkins priced at $5 L each, and each one contains a high quality Halloween themed item, including this dress (sized for standard sizes and most mesh bodies!)  The pumpkins are not too hard to find, and every single one has a great piece of clothing in it.

Kathryn recently showed you a lovely lip applier from Shiny Stuffs, and I was lucky enough to score a few freebies from there myself!  Currently in store Shiny Stuffs is giving away a Queen of Hearts makeup appliers set, and a Halloween Maitreya Nail applier fatpack!  I am modeling the spikey mascara and one of the 3 versions of eye liner here, as well as the candy skulls nails.  These little tidbits will make any Halloween costume pop.

One Fish, Blue Fish

I’m having a blast at the Cart Wash Sale so far. There are so many amazing carts with wonderful deals to be had! If you haven’t stopped by yet, consider beginning with the Koala Cart! I picked up several things off the cart (and really I could have nabbed everything and been thrilled) and I think you’ll easily see why! My top is the Zip Up Bra (animals print) and is an applier top, though you will also get system layers in the box if you are not using a system body.

The box includes material huds as well as an Omega hud, and you get 7 animal prints for your tiny little sum of 10L! That’s 7 shirts for just 10L!

I paired the Koala top with two more items from the Cart, which were also only 10L each. First is the Monochrome symbols bracelets. Again, you’ll get a hud to change these into one of 12 possible monochrome prints. Each bracelet changes separately for added versatility.

My nails were also a 10L deal off the Koala Cart and included a hud for 11 different choices which matched many of the bracelet designs for a fashionable look. These nails are Omega applier nails and work for Maitreya hands.
