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


Gingham Girl

Pink Dreams
Happy Tuesday, Fabulous Readers!  The other day in my post here, I blogged about a Midnight Mania Prize up for grabs at the Nilsy Store.  Gus and I are back today to showcase a free group gift also from the Nilsy Store.

Get Ready to Turn Heads

Nilsy Store’s latest free group gift for members of the Mesh Avatar Appearance Maniacs Group contains this sweet Vichy Dress and a denim jacket (which I chose not to wear for my photo).  This strapless mini features a sweetheart neckline, a pink and white gingham pattern, and a daring ruffled hem that falls just to your upper thighs.  It hugs your curves beautifully, and it feels like summer to me.  Due to its brief hemline, I recommend wearing panties or using the alpha layer of your mesh body to maintain modesty.  The gift also includes a cropped denim jacket in a soft blue color, which will come in handy on chilly nights or as fall weather draws near.  To scoop up a copy for yourself, activate the Mesh Avatar Appearance Maniacs group tag and tap the vendor.  There’s a 50L$ join fee for the group, but the dress and jacket are free.

Mesh Body Compatibility:

  • Belleza Freya and Isis
  • Fitmesh
  • Kupra
  • Legacy and Legacy Perky
  • Maitreya and Maitreya Petite
  • Slink Hourglass and Hourglass Petite

Wearing this dreamy, free gingham dress, you’ll surely turn heads as you enjoy July’s soaring temperatures.  Keep that jacket handy to ward off a chilly sea breeze or protect yourself from the cool night air.  Until our next post, happy shopping!

Chic in Checks

Chic Checks
Happy Sunday, Fabulous Readers!  As the weekend winds down, Gus and I are popping in to share a dress I scooped up as a free group gift.

In My Sunday Best

This cute Black and White Checked Dress is the free Gift of the Week from the Nilsy Store.  It features a sleeveless design, a fitted bodice, and a full, knee-length hem.  Honestly, I wanted to spin in a circle and watch the skirt flare just for the sheer joy of it.  The wrapped fabric around the midsection of the dress really emphasizes the waist and adds visual interest.  (The fuzzy white sweater is one I had in my inventory and is *not* part of the gift.) To pick up a copy of this frock for yourself, you’ll need to be a member of the Nils Island Store Group, and it’s free to join.

Mesh Body Compatibility:

  • Belleza Freya, Isis, and Venus
  • Ebody
  • Fitmesh in XS, S, M, L, and XL (includes alpha)
  • Maitreya
  • Mesh in XS, S, M, L, and XL (includes alpha)
  • Ocacin
  • Slink Hourglass and Physique
  • TMP
  • Tonic Curvy and Fine

Until our next post, happy shopping!

The Lucky One

Fireside

Hello there, Fabulous Readers.  I hope you had a wonderful weekend.  Gus and I spent some time hanging out in the Nilsy Store, waiting for that elusive “S” to appear on the lucky chairs.

Luck Was On My Side!

There are three chairs in the front of the store, and they cycle every five minutes, rotating through a selection of prizes.  My favorite is this free Metal Loop Sweater and Pleated Skirt outfit.  With a turtleneck and long sleeves, the top will keep you toasty warm while its slightly cropped length adds a bit of spice.   Silver rings provide visual interest to the sweater.  The straight skirt features an abundance of pleats and falls to just below your knees.  To win a copy for yourself, you must be a member of the Nils Island Store Group, which is free to join.

Mesh Body Compatibility:

  • Belleza Freya and Venus
  • Fitmesh in S, M, L
  • Maitreya
  • Mesh in S, M, L (includes alphas for classic body)
  • Ocacin
  • Slink Hourglass and Physique
  • Tonic Curvy and Fine
  • Voluptuous

Until our next post, good luck!

Timeless Style

Timeless StyleHello Fab Free!  Gus and I are back from a relaxing and a bit chilly autumn camping trip.  We had a great time, but are eager to return to what we love doing best – sharing budget-friendly fashion finds with our favorite readers.   Today we have a free lucky chair prize and a free group gift.

Gus-Approved Houndstooth

My sweater and trousers today are from the Nilsy Store.  As you enter the shop, you will see 3 Lucky Chairs on your right, and that’s where I scooped up this outfit for free.  The ecru top features an intricate texture and is sure to keep you warm on frosty fall mornings.  My belted pants are constructed with houndstooth fabric, which is an iconic classic.  To collect this timeless look for yourself, you need to be a member of the Nils Island Store group, but it is completely free to join.  There are 3 chairs, which rotate through a variety of prizes and letters every 5 minutes. You will need a bit of time and patience, but I’m sure you’ll find it’s well worth the wait.

Mesh Body Compatibility

  • Belleza Freya, Isis and Venus
  • Maitreya
  • Mesh in XS, S, M, L, XL (includes alpha layer)
  • Slink Hourglass and Physique
  • Tonic Curvy and Fine

Add a Bit of Sparkle

To accessorize my look, I donned the free Callie earrings from Second Nature Jewellery.  I used the resize script embedded in the mother-of-pearl baubles because they were initially a bit larger than I prefer, but you do you!  The gold and creamy color of the stones pair beautifully with the beige hues in my outfit.  These jewels are part of a set, which is a free gift for members of the BellaTECH Nation group, which has a 99L$ join fee.  This price is a bit steep, but the group features new monthly free gifts for members.  For September alone, there are 23 gifties available for the BellaTECH Nation crew!

Until my next post, happy shopping!

Nothing But Blue Skies

Nothing But Blue Skies

Happy Monday, Fabbies!  Gus and I are popping in with a free casual, but classy outfit that I picked up as a free group gift.

Pretty in Paisley

The beginning of the month is a wonderful time because generous designers often bless their group members with free group gifties.  This morning, I decided to teleport over to the Nilsy Store and stroll around the shop.  After giving the Midnight Mania board a tap (keeping my fingers crossed for this one!), I noticed the adorable free gift of the week.  The Paisley Loose Pants and Laced Top Outfit features a lace-trimmed white tank and loose-fitting patterned print trousers.  This complete outfit exudes chic elegance and I love it!  Depending on how you accessorize it, you could wear this gift for a casual day of shopping or a luncheon date on the town.  To add it to your inventory, you need to be a member of the Nils Island Store Group, but there’s no join fee.  I’m not sure how long this gem will be available, so if you like it as much as I do, don’t delay!

Mesh Body Compatibility

  • Belleza Freya and Venus
  • Fitmesh in S, M, and L
  • Maitreya
  • Ocacin
  • Slink Hourglass and Physique
  • Voluptuous

Until next time, happy shopping!
