There’s a mall where I live that specializes in all things Asian. You can get pretty much anything you need from that part of the world there (weirdly flavoured chips, Hello Kitty toasters, and as many sea cucumbers as your heart desires). Back in the early 2000s, I went there with a good friend of mine and was introduced to the joys of insanely adorable stickers and stationery from Japan and Korea. There’s not as much of it nowadays, it’s all mostly been replaced by cell phone covers – but I’m always trying to recapture the colourful girly-ness of it all!
Super Kawaii
Energy Weekend price is in full effect, which is exciting in itself (we love a good deal), but along with all the fun shopping also comes a few very nice freegroup gifts for those who join the freeEnergy Weekend Price group. If you’d like to grab the HUD with all the info, you can head to the Buyer’s Room HERE. I did so, and found all the info about this weekend’s freegifts quite easily. My first stop was Absen where I got this semi-transparent dress (and matching boots, btw). Very nice indeed! Then what really got me in the Kawaii mood was this fun aura by Amazing. There are three versions in the box, but I opted for the cute hearts, flowers and pandas. They’ll trail behind you as you walk and fall about you if you’re just standing around. Fun! It’s all free– but only for the weekend, so don’t delay!

For those of you who don’t know or remember me, I was originally hired by Renee Lowenhart way back in December of 2012. I blogged alongside Love and Pru (and various others) for 2 1/2 years until Real Life got the better of me in June of 2014, and I had to take a break. But I’m so happy to be back with the amazing FabFree Team, and with YOU, the wonderful readers. I’ve missed you all so much!
And yeah, Love has decided to call me “vintage” too, but I’ll never be as vintage as Carson! 😛
An Afternoon Skate
Ok, so on to the free stuff! My cozy skater outfit is a free group gift from Ever An’ Angel. In fact, it is one of 10 group gifts currently sitting under the big Christmas tree! The dress comes in standard mesh sizes (XS, S, M, L, XL), and the tights come with an OMEGA applier, as well as a tattoo layer for non-mesh bodies.
To complete the outfit, I stopped by Abranimations and picked up a pair of free skates. They are rigged mesh (from 2014) and cannot be sized, which is why my feet look a bit… er, larger than life here. But hey, they’re free, and I’ve been having so much fun with the skating animation, especially the “beginner’s wobble” every time I stop walking skating. Oh, and when someone rezzed on top of me at a busy sim, I went SPLAT on the ground! LOL! FYI, Abranimations also has a fantastic advent calendar with some crazy, goofy gifts, so be sure to join the free group and pick up the remaining gifts while you are there (past gifts will be available for sale).
My lovely eyeshadow and lipstick are by alaskametro for On9, and you can play their gacha machine for just 20L at the current round. The box includes appliers for Catwa, LeLutka, and Omega, as well as tattoo layers for system heads (that sounds weird, doesn’t it?). And as Love mentioned, there are oodles of free gifts available, so be sure to join the free On9 Fan Club to snatch those up!
Finally, this adorable reindeer headband is by Noodles for the MadPea Christmas Calendar. Now… don’t get mad at me. I know that at 1000L, the calendar is a bit pricey. So why am I telling you about it anyway? Because the calendar contains 25 AMAZING gifts by some of the best designers on the grid! And unless my math is way off, that works out to be about 40L per gift. All of the past gifts are still available, so even if you join up at this late date, you won’t miss out on a gift. 🙂
Oh, Christmas Tree
If you’re still in need of a Christmas tree, be sure to stop by FaMESHed and pick up the free group gift from The Little Branch. The tree is copy/mod, so you can rez them all over your land in a variety of sizes (which does change the LI, so be careful).
My pretty lantern full of Christmas balls is a free gift by Decor Junction/Shutter Field at Tres Chic. You do have to pay 1L to get it, but you will be refunded right away!
Oh, and Love, you’d better come and get your puppy. He wandered over and photobombed me as I was taking this picture, but he looked so cute in his little Santa hat that I decided to let him stay. 😀

Over the weekend I was alerted by Sabryne Hotaling via the Fabulously Lucky in SL inworld group that there was a brand new dress on the Evie’s Closet MM Board, and I ran right over to get my name on the board. Just like magic, at midnight it was delivered! \o/. It’s not often I get into roleplay, fantasy or medieval type wear, but I really enjoy it once in a while 🙂
The dress that you can receive for FREE after the MM board at Evie’s Closet locks down at 101 slaps is the fitmesh Sigrid Dress you see me wearing in this post today – lovely isn’t it?
***************
Hello Fabbies! How is your week going? Are you all as happy as I am that we are passing the midweek mark? I thought, as I was just lounging around my skybox, I would show you all a few of the free gifts that some of our generous FabFree Designers currently have available down at the FabFree Headquarters.
First up of the FabFree gifts, Seldom Blue has put out the beautiful Lottie Lingerie in a lovely pinkish shade of red, and black. You can wear this set with or without the waist cincher and garters, as well as the stockings. For all you meshy-bits lovers, there are a few appliers supplied with this, a combined Tangos and Phat Azz applier, a SLink feet applier, and 3 layer HUDs for the SLink Physique body, so almost everyone should be very happy 🙂
I personally believe that lingerie and jewels go together perfectly, so I was pretty happy to see that the current gift at FFHQ being offered by DDM Designs, was a gorgeous pair of sweetheart earrings, which just so happened to have a pinkish-red stone in the hearts. Talk about happy coincidence!
Now, when lounging around in your lingerie, you cannot lounge in an empty room. So I took advantage of 2 more free gifts being offered at FFHQ. The first being from StoraxTree, the aptly named Cathedral Chest, has a definite gothic church feeling to it. Just above it is my second choice, the spirograph memo board from Wise Walls, which is a nice contrast in style to the chest. It is actually one of 2 wall decorations you receive in this gift, the other being a pretty heart memo board, which also would have worked nicely in my pictures, not to mention complimenting my heart earrings!
Are you eyeing up the skin I am wearing? Don’t worry, stare all you like, I did when I first saw the gacha for it. Located just outside FabFree HQs, is a new gacha from Flounce. Many of you older skin lovers may remember Mimi Coral’s previous store, Cupcakes, Flounce is her newest creation, and yet again, she is satisfying our skin cravings, and at only L$25 a play for this gacha, it satisfies our love of a great deal as well. There are 5 different tones available, each tone having 2 different makeups, and none of the makeups are alike, so you have 10 different skins to play for, and all of them are so pretty. I have included a picture of the gacha ad for all of you to see, I am wearing #7, Anna – Latte – Nebula. The skins come with several different tattoo layers for beauty marks, freckles, blush and cheek highlighting, which you can put together to make your face your own.
OK, my evening is winding down, and I think all this lounging has made me ready for bed 😛 Remember, do not let anyone tell you that it is weird to hang out in your undies and high heels, alone…well, almost alone if you don’t include Simon, who is already sleeping in the background. Until next time, TTFN!! *waves*
This weekend only, Saturday, March 30th, and Sunday March 31st The Knitting Circle is putting on an Easter Egg Hunt! You can hunt for little pastel egg and gain yourself some really, really nice prizes!
This gorgeous gown will be yours when you find the Peace on Earth Hunt globe at Carriage Trade Miniature. Don’t let the name fool you; this dress is for full-sized avatars, not for miniatures. The main body of the dress comes in three mesh sizes, with the skirt and lace as non-mesh add-ons. I felt like a princess the moment I tried it on. 🙂
I thought this stunning dress needed an equally stunning skin, so I selected Glam Affair’s Renee Sinless 02, which I picked up at the current round of The Arcade. My hair is a past subscribo gift from ::Exile:: – still available as of today – and comes in a fatpack of nearly every color imaginable (it also has a cute, color-change bow that I pushed into my head). My Snowflake earrings are a past advent gift from *Alice Project*. And what princess is complete without a tiara? I picked up this one by Noodles at The Arcade.
