By the Sea

Hey Fab Free! It’s a new month, which means new gifts and credits for all in our groups! I got all dolled up in the latest fashions and ready for a day out! It’s time for spring to start peeking through and my little Irish self is starting to pop out for the month of March!

Love from Paper.Sparrow

Bunnie is one of the most generous people I know, and especially to the Paper. Sparrow group members. I just cashed in on their monthly group 300L credit gift, and I used it to cover part of the cost of the Mary Heels colour pack. These shoes are fab! I love the sparklies on the platforms- adorable. Simply join the Paper.Sparrow group for 150L and you can get in on this credit gift every month. There are many items you can buy in the store which will be covered by the credit gift, so look around the store and see what you can treat yourself with!

Sassenach

Any Outlander fans out there? This hair kinda reminds me of Claire Fraser’s 1940s look… maybe it’s just me, but either way, I think this hair is super cute. This hair is yet another past group gift from no.match which I have been trying on lately. Simply join the no.match group for 50 L to get all the steals if you haven’t already. 😉

Well, that’s about it for today, Fab Free! I’m going off to enjoy my day by the sea…

Sarcastic Punk

Hey Fab Free! My look today is definitely giving off a  punk rocker vibe, with just a little bit of sarcasm. I hope you enjoy <3.

Cozy

It’s still winter in my world, which calls for scarves, sweaters, and more floating snowflakes. Although I don’t like the snow, I love winter fashion so I’m happy to bundle up in a cozy sweater and scarf inside my house any day.

Limited Edition packs from Addams, please?

I love Addams. They have lovely clothes, and I especially love their limited edition packs. I am currently wearing the Addison Exclusive Outfit &  Addison Sweater & Scarf Limited Edition pack, which is available to buy at the Shop & Hop. The best part is, you can get this pack completely free because they are handing out a free 500L credit to all until Feb. 17th. This pack includes 2 packs of sweaters, a pack of scarves, and a pack of leather pants which all have different texture options. This pack is only 199 L, leaving room to buy even more deals at their Shop & Hop booth. Go get ’em!

Sizes Included

• Lara
• Legacy
• Perky
• Freya
• Isis
• Physique
• Hourglass

Goodies from EscalateD

I recommend you also check out EscalateD’s booth at the Shop & Hop. They have a free 250L credit for all, and this cute floating heart snowflake is a free gift. I love these because they are so pretty as they glow and you can have them hoover over you and follow you around.

The horns I have on are another great deal from this designer which are available at the EscalateD main store. These are the prize for the Stupid Cupid Hunt and they are only 1 L. The hint is, “Take a seat and win some cool prizes. Btw I love ferns…”. You have until the end of the month to finish the Stupid Cupid Hunt.

More Mangula

Aline just featured Mangula, and these awesome boots are also available for free at their booth at the Shop & Hop!

Sizes Included

• Maitreya
• Legacy
• Freya
• Kupra
• Curvy
• Slink

Lowlight

This hair is called “No Holiday” and it’s another group gift at no.match. Simply join their group for 50 L and it’s yours along with all their other group gifts. I love the lowlights in this version- that’s super rare and sooo pretty. I decided to go with red with blue lowlights but there’s a bunch of cool unicorn hair colour options with this gift which is just fab.

Go before it’s too late to catch all these great buys before they’re all gone on the 17th!

Spellcaster

I call to you great spirit of water
summon the serpent and make his power mine
I bow to the winds and the power of fire
Bring to me, my hearts desire!
Abracadabra, I will create as I speak!

Hey fab gang!

A little bit of magic for your Valentine’s day.  Did you know the word abracadabra is a very powerful word, even though it gets tossed around frivolously (there’s a word I don’t get to use often enough!).  Yup.  It is Arabic for “I will create as I speak”.   This cute outfit from Ewa Boutique made me feel very tribal and magical, so I thought it was time for a wee bit of spell casting!  What keeps popping into my head though are Ursula’s (the sea witch from The Little Mermaid) spell…. “come winds of the Caspian sea!”  Not sure why!  lol

This outfit is a Fab Free gift so wear your tag and head to Ewa’s to scoop it up!  It fits:

• Hourglass
• Maitreya
• Physique

That goes for the whole outfit, top, skirt and shoes!  It also comes with a HUD that has five sets of colors to choose from.  Of course you can always be a rebel and mix and match!  I love the colors and combinations!

Time to whip up a new spell to find more inspiring goodies!  Until next time!

Incense & peppermints!

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!

The Big Day

We’re edging closer to V-day, and I’m starting to get sucked into the romantic spirit. I am contemplating what I am going to do on Sunday, though, because I don’t know where to go or what to do yet. At least I have a great, sexy Valentine’s outfit ready for the big day.

Visions

Vision is one of my favourite designers and they have a few treats out for us at the Shop & Hop. They have a 450L free credit for group members for free (the group costs 18 L to Join). I love their clothes, so I hopped over to their main store to spend my credit. I managed to get the Akeksia Boots in a full fatpack for free with my credit. These boots were 50% off and they are just perfect.

Sizes included:

• Belleza (Freya, Isis)
• Maitreya
• Slink (Hourglass)
• Legacy

Tachinni

Next stop is Tachinni at the Shop & Hop. They are offering a whole 500L credit for free to their group members (the group costs 15 L to join). Head over to the Tachinni main store and find the Hannah Dress vendor. With your credit, you could grab 4 colours of this dress for free with your credit, as they are also on sale for 50% off at the shop & hop and the main store. This is one of my favourite dresses I’ve ever tried on so I had to share.

Sizes included:

• Belleza (Freya, Isis)
• Maitreya
• Slink (Hourglass)
• Legacy
• Legacy Perky

Perfect Up Do

This updo is a new group gift to celebrate 2021 at no.match. I love how it has little sparkles in it! So pretty. The no.match group costs 50 L to join and there are lots of group gifts and even Christmas gifts still out on the 2nd floor of the store.

Enjoy, Fab Free!

Bonjour Mon Cheri!

I hope this blog finds all you lovely blossoms doing well on this very chilly Sunday (where I am anyhow, windy and in the 20’s brrrrrr!)  With Valentine’s less than a month away, I’m beginning to think romantical thoughts.  The new group gift from no.match (group is 50L to join!) put me positively over the edge with romantical FRENCH thoughts!  It’s a lovely Parisian style bob (aka French Bob) which seems vintage but is always in style.  It symbolizes a woman who is independent, progressive and spirited!  I bet you didn’t even know that this french hairstyle was inspired by Joan of Arc!  The website V is for Vintage states; “Celebrity hairdresser Antoine referenced the French heroine when creating his new bobbed hairstyle. It is introduced into his Paris salon around 1909 and creates a new fashion fad. ”  It states too that in the 21st century, the bob still exudes “retro, chic, edgy, vintage, arty” vibes.  So… you can’t go wrong!

I paired it up with this very chic set from Shanti which is a new fab free gift that you can grab just by putting your fab free tag on.  The shop also carries 6 other colored sets which are currently on promo for 99L!  While I don’t have a history to share with you regarding the shorts/blazer outfit, I’ve seen this style in numerous shops lately and really love them.  Dressy and casual all wrapped into one!

These outfits come in:

• Freya
• Isis
• Venus
• Ebody
• Fitmesh
• Maitreya
• Ocacin
• Hourglass
• Physique
• TMP
• Curvy
• Fine

Au Revoir beautiful fabbies!

Jumpsuits and Gift Cards and Shoes…Oh My!

When I saw these jumpsuits from Enchantress I just had to check them out. They called out to me and my cool funky girl tastes. What got me *really* excited was that they are only 49L! (oh no they didn’t! Oh YES they did!!!!) But, wait for it…. there’s more! For your 49L this jumpsuit comes with a HUD containing 20 mix and match fabrics and matching textures for both the top and bottom each! So this allows you to really mix it up!!! I’ve not seen something similar to this and I’m really in love with it!

Sizes

• Dragon
• Ebody
• Fox
• Freya
• Isis
• Maitreya
• Hourglass
• Tonic Fine

By the way, I noticed she has several other styles of jumpsuits for 49L as well, you have to look around a bit for them. This one however is in with the new releases. So hop on over to her shop and grab yourself a fun new jumpsuit (or two!) for the new year!

Also! Be sure to pop by StephaneL, she has a $250L gift card available until Thursday for group members (group join is only 15L), and if you love shoes, she is all about the shoes! Never mind that there are a bunch of group gifts to grab. Above is a picture of a pair I got with the gift card (I got two pairs for my gift card)! This pair comes with a HUD with 50 (!) colors for main, heel and sole of the shoe, plus metals. You can practically design your own shoe to match every outfit! Pheeenom!!!! Go!

Sizes

• Belleza
• Maitreya
• SLink

Peace and Crackers!

The Bright Side

I’m in the process of looking on the bright side at the moment.  It may not look like it, because I’m sitting in the dark on a staircase.  But I find that those times are sometimes the best for finding the silver linings.  I’m happy that I don’t have to race around to stores at the moment, or that I don’t have to go to all the parties and gatherings that I’d rather avoid (you know, the awkward ones).  So really, even though this Holiday season is super different than ones we have lived in the past, I think we can still find a bit of joy hidden among all the madness.

Sparking Joy

One thing that has been super great about all this time spent at home is that there seems to be an overabundance of gifts inworld.  I really love it, not only because of all the freebies, but also because it shows that deep down we all care about each other.  I see these gifts as a little spark of care sent to us from designers all around the globe.  We’re all united, even when we’re apart!  Anyway, enough of my nattering.  I’ll get to the freebies!  Tres Chic has just started their newest round, and wouldn’t you know it?  There are free gifts for members of their free-to-join group!  Here’s what I grabbed:

• FREE Hair by No.Match in a pack of black hair hues.  The little Christmassy bow is also included!
• FREE Dress by Catarsis sized for Freya, Hourglass, Legacy and Maitreya
• FREE Shoes by Ricielli sized for Belleza, Maitreya, Slink and TMP

Tres Chic is running until January 10th!  Put it on  your to-do list!

Eater of Men

This has been a heck of a year, can you believe its November? Yeah me either!! I’ve had my share of scares and freakouts in RL over this whole virus outbreak, I’m pretty sure we all have… SL is a great place to get away and not worry about it. So with that let’s talk about the freebies I found!

No.Match has a super frightening free group gift out that’s super shocking! *Laughs* It comes with a hud for color options. The basic Black, Blonde, Brown, & Reds when clicking on one of those options you are greeted with 9 color options for each of the selections! Legit this is going to be great for those upsidedown poses where the hair doesn’t normally fall correctly… THIS WILL! Group join is L$50 but that is a steal for this hair ^^

On my Halloween adventures, I came across this Free Gift from Anatomy, no group is needed for these eyes either so it has to be one of my favorite finds! Head over to their shop and pay the 0L box on the floor (it says Gift) to snag these cool eyes. I’m not sure when they’ll disappear but I would head there NOW! It comes with BOM eyes and an Omega Applier (w/mesh eyes) inside.
