An Avalanche of Gifts

Yay!  It’s Shop & Hop time again!  Isn’t it exciting when you’ve got 8 whole sims of wonder to discover – each one stuffed to the gills with free gifts!  I can’t complain when it comes around.  It’s always hard to figure out what I want to show you all, since everything is always so nice.  Let’s take a walk in the snow and check it all out!

Hopping in the Snow

If you’ve never done Shop & Hop before, get  yourself a beverage and get comfy because picking up the gifts usually takes several hours.  There’s no need to join a group, just click on the boxes at each display and the contents will be yours.  Here are some of my faves:

• FREE sweater by Astralia sized for Freya, Legacy & Maitreya
• FREE leggings by ViSion sized for Freya, Hourglass, Isis, Legacy & Maitreya in a full fatpack of colours
• FREE boots by Miss Chelsea sized for Freya, Hourglass, Legacy, Maitreya and Unrigged Versions in 4 sparkly shades

There is soooooo much more.  You’ve got a while to pick it all up though, since Shop & Hop is around until January 3rd!

See you on the slopes!

Getting in the Spirit

Ok, that’s it…I’m officially getting into the spirit of winter, and possibly even the Holiday Season.  I always try to wait until the end of November, at the very least, but it seems like I could totally use something sparkly, happy and celebratory this year.  I’m sure a massive pile of gifts will also make you feel jolly!

Dressed for the Season

In my books, you can never have enough dresses.  I’m sure that if I lined up all my virtual dresses they would stretch at the very least from here to Europe.  I mean, it’s a bit of a mind boggling thing to think of how that would actually work, but nevertheless I’m sticking with my theory.

She’s so Vain

Keeping with the theme of events that are handing out gifts, Vanity is following suit in spectacular fashion.  Join the Vanity Group for free [HERE] and you’ll gain access to all the boxes by each display!  Now…here’s what I picked up!

• FREE dress by Avale sized for Freya, Hourglass, Isis, Maitreya and Legacy
• FREE shoes by Look at Me sized for Maitreya and Legacy
• FREE Lipstick by FNNTY with appliers for Omega and Genus
• FREE Ornament by Peekaboo with Bento hold

And there’s so much more too!  Vanity is open until December 25th!

Enjoy!

A Sweet Christmas

Here we are, my dears!  It’s Christmas Day, my favourite day! A day that is full of magic, happiness and delights.  In my tradition, Christmas comes full of food, and goodies, and staying up way past our bedtimes.  For that, you need to be stylish, and ready for all the little glories of Christmas.  I’m ready!  Are you?

A Bit of Sass

Sass have got their December group gift out, and it’s perfect for being fancy on Christmas.  I got mine by joining the group for 50 L and paying the vendor 1L, which was then returned to me.   If you haven’t had a chance to grab all the group gifts from Sass, now is your chance because they’ll all be gone in the new year!

Sizes

• Freya
• Hourglass
• Maitreya

Merry Christmas to you all – thank you for being here, and for being a part of Fab Free!  We love you all to bits, darling readers!

Keep Calm

Hello Fab Free’rs! Does any one know what day it is? I am feeling the hectic side of the holidays and sometimes I don’t know if I am coming or going! Luckily I have you guys, some good friends, and a cup of hot tea to remind me to slow down a minute and relax. I also get to take the time to share with you more fantastic Cart Sale finds and a fun addition from the Holiday Ho Ho Ho hunt.

The Sweater & Boots – Even my shoes are telling me to be calm today! These boots by De’Fient Unicorn are available at The Cart Sale and the best part (in my opinion) is the message on the sole of the shoe. It reads “Keep Calm and Activate Unicorn Power.” These shoes come in Maitreya and Slink sizes, and include a color change hud with 5 preset options. Also at the De”Fient Unicorn Cart Sale booth is this pretty playful sweater dress. I chose to wear it with jeans because, baby it’s cold outside! It comes in several mesh sizes and has a texture change hud with 5 patterned/graphic options to choose from. Also, this item has an alpha layer and is suitable for classic avatars!

Sweater Sizes Included: Maitreya Lara, Ebody, TMP, Fitmesh (XS-XL), Model M, Belleza (Isis, Freya, Venus) Ocacin, Tonic (Curvy, Fine), Slink (Physique, Hourglass)

The Headband – This cute pink wire reindeer antler headband is one of several 5 linden Holiday Ho Ho Ho hunt prizes at Oleander. Each of the 5 prizes includes 2 head accessories. There are two types of headbands, and fuzzy earmuffs to be found. You just need to find the “hidden in plain sight” little blue stars at the Oleander shop. I added a copy of the Holiday Ho Ho Ho hunt key for Oleander below. Happy Hunting!

Here are the details, enjoy!

A Marshmallow World

It’s snowing!  It’s snowing!  I feel like a small child, running to the window with delight, then hastily putting on my outdoor gear to race out into the snow and catch a few snowflakes on my tongue.  I may have dressed a little quickly in my excitement, pulling on a comfy sweater and some lovely stockings to keep me toasty, and you guessed it – they’re free!

Black Fri-yay!

Pru mentioned earlier that there are gifts aplenty to be had at the Black Friday Bazaar!  Join the group there for free, and you’ll be rolling in awesomeness.  I got my hot little hands on this gorgeous hoodie by Sevyn East that comes with three different textures in the HUD, as well as these lovely thigh-high stockings by The Little Bat that come with an Omega applier.  There really are some lovely things to be had, that it was a hard job deciding what to show you!  Head on over and get your own awesomeness!

Sweater Sizes

• Venus
• Isis

Zoltar Speaks

Went to the Fortune Teller

I popped over to New Brighton yesterday to hang out on the pier for a while, and among the rides and arcade games, I found this Zoltar Cat machine. I thought it would be fun to see what Zoltar Cat had to say about my future, so I gave him a click. Perhaps he was just messing with me – or maybe he was offended by the doggies on my handbag and shirt – but he kept insisting that I needed more cats in my life. Here’s a sample:

[13:29] Zoltar Cat Machine whispers: I am the great Zoltar Cat, I will tell your fortune!
[13:29] Zoltar Cat Machine whispers: You will be meeting an old friend soon. It will be a happy meeting with lots of chatting and giggles.
[13:30] Zoltar Cat Machine whispers: You will wonder why you don’t see them more often. Are they a cat?

Well, this is SL, so I suppose anything is possible! 🐱

Zoltar Cat also gave me a bunch of “lucky numbers” so I may have to run out and buy a lottery ticket to see if he’s right about any of them!

Cats and Dogs

If you haven’t visited the FLG Store lately, you really need to go check it out. There are quite a few *very generous* gifts to pick up, including the complete outfit that I’m wearing here. And by “complete,” I mean COMPLETE! 😀

The Marcelly outfit comes with pretty much everything you see here: leggings, top, shoes, bag, and headphones. And, get this: the leggings, top, and shoes come with a HUD containing 30 different textures… EACH! Seriously! That’s a different outfit for every day of the month!

The Marcelly leggings and top will fit the following mesh bodies:

• Belleza Freya, Isis, and Venus
• Ebody
• Maitreya M and L
• Slink Hourglass and Physique
• TMP
• Tonic Curvy and Fine

The shoes will fit Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink mesh feet. Both the headphones and pug bag can be resized; click to bring up the blue resizer menu.

The FLG Store – No Cabide group is free to join. Zoltar Cat thinks you will be very happy if you go there. 😉

By the water

Spending as much time as I do on beach sims, it’s easy to get lost in an endless Summer dream. I’ve only just recently traded in my sundresses and flip flops for some warmer options in the hopes of getting with the weather and have been pretty pleased with some of the finds. The tunic pictured is a dollarbie from Atis and comes in five standard sizes (XXS-L). Included is a Hud that controls the colors on the chevrons and the option to put stripes on the tunic itself. For the picture, I choose a cool blue though there are five other colors to choose from and I simply love the metallic sheen to them.

Also pictured is the Elias leather pants from Caboodle. You can get these amazingly well-made pants for free by hanging around the lucky letter boards at the store. The group is free to join so wear your tag proudly, keep your fingers crossed and hope that luck is on your side. The pants come in five standard sizes (XXS-L) and comes with an alpha layer and a shoe base as well so if you don’t feel like wearing shoes but don’t want to go totally barefoot either this is most certainly another viable (and stylish) option.

Aside from beach sims, I love rummaging through interesting looking stores. Ever shopped inside an elephant? If no, then maybe you’d like to check out Schadenfreude. I adopted my cuddly three headed pal for 50L and there are other cute gachas that you can play at the store. Now…to see if I can arrange some play dates with Love and Kathryn’s pups. If you’re looking to play more gacha, you can get this cute Clio fitted mesh hairstyle from Oleander for 75 L per pull. Gachas are so addictive!

Finally, the skin I’m wearing is Deluxe Body Factory’s October group gift called Johanna. She comes in a pretty chai tone with both classic skin and Omega body and face appliers included in the pack along with a brow shaper and an alpha layer to hide your system lashes. I love the detailing of the eyebrows and all of the beauty marks on the skin. Deluxe Body Factory has a 299L join fee and there are two other group gifts to pick up this month as well as midnight mania and lucky letter boards open only to members. A great deal all in all.

TGIF & Siss Boom Weekend Specials

TGIF!!  It’s been a long week.  I sure wish I had a beautiful lake house in RL to escape to…  but I suppose a Second Life trip will have to do for now!

If you happen to have a few spare lindens kicking around this weekend, make sure you take a little trip to Siss Boom and check out the sales they have going on.  I popped in and picked up the high waisted floral printed Boyfriend Jeans for 60L and this great matching Jersey Lace Top (available in a system layer and Omega applier) in green for 55L.   These jeans come in both gold and silver belt options and I gotta say… the gold option matches the top to perfection.  Also – as this top is an applier, there is no interference with the mesh jeans as we sometimes see with mesh on mesh outfits.

I should mention my hair as well as it is also a smoking hot deal!  You can find the Oleander Chanmi Hair I am wearing at The Arcade Gacha for 50L per play.  This round is ending quickly, so if you like this hair – act fast!

Enjoy your weekend ❤
