Hello Fab Free Family! I hope everyone made it through the beginning of the week without incident! I actually feel like this week has been flying by. Maybe that’s a good thing! Speaking of good things, GATO recently sent out a free dress to their Subscribers, and I am excited to share it with you!
The Dress – How cool is this animal print dress by GATO?! The second I saw the ad for it, I ran to grab my free copy from their subscriber. I did have to unsubscribe, then subscribe again. However, as soon as I re-subscribed the dress was automatically sent right to me. This free subscriber gift comes in a Maitreya Lara mesh size only.
Hi Fab Free’rs I hope you had a great weekend and a good start to the week so far. Also to those who’ve celebrated Mother’s Day or are celebrating today, Happy Mother’s Day!! Today I am excited to share this cute almost bubble goth style look with you. You can get this entire outfit including the dress, shoes, ring, and the mani/pedi for just 75 linden. Like always I tell you specifically how, and where in the details below. I hope you enjoy this look. Pink may not always be my go-to color but I definitely love it as an accent color. I personally really love the way this outfit turned out.
Usually I’d start from the top and end with the shoes. Tonight I’m going to start by telling you about these fantastic FREE shoes from Empire. Recently Empire put up 6 lucky boards at their main store. Each board has a specific pair of shoes in a single lucky board only color. That’s right, not only are these shoes FREE, they are in an exclusive color for that shoe style. There is a group tag needed to play these lucky boards, however, it’s a FREE-to-join Empire Updates group. This group is separate from the Empire VIP group that allows you to claim group gifts. The group joiner for the FREEEmpire Updates group is located just under the lucky boards. Definitely make sure you’re joining the right group. The shoes Pru is wearing for this look are just 1 of the 6 pairs. Additionally, each pair of shoes comes in several sizes/fits for specific mesh feet. If you ask me they are definitely worth stalking the lucky boards for!
Next, I picked up this beautiful ring and the simple yet classic manicure/pedicure at SWANK for FREE. The ring is a beautiful statement abalone ring. I have always loved abalone in jewelry. The shell has beautiful swirls of green and blue with hints of pink and violet. I think it’s not only a beautiful piece, but versatile as well. You could wear it with anything and it would look amazing! This particular FREE gift at SWANK is from Vintage Touch. Also at SWANK is this undeniably classic white french tip manicure/pedicure set from Tashi. This gift is FREE as well, and includes appliers for Maitreya, Slink, Belleza, and Omega nails in several “nude” tones. Everyone should have a simple white french-tip manicure in their inventory.
Now for the dress! This sweet little black dress from Apple May Designs has a lot of simple charm. The sweetheart cut to the top and the extra wide flare to the skirt gives the dress a doll-like look. One of the best features of the dress is the thin belt. Included with this dress from Apple May Designs is a color-change hud that allows you to choose between several pastel colors for the belt. You can purchase this dress on the Marketplace from Apple May Designs for just 75 lindens as their Buy Now offer.
Hi there Fab Free’rs! It always seems the weekend goes by too fast. Other times I feel like I need a weekend from my weekend! Either way, retail therapy always works for me. Nothing makes me feel good like something new to wear, especially when that something new happens to be free! I spent the afternoon picking up a few more awesome group gifts, and I’m happy I get to share them with you. First, this halter dress is actually the March group gift at BlackRose. You’ll find it in a box near the BlackRose main entrance. Though it is a “group” gift I did not need to join the group to get the gift. Just click the box and the dress should be delivered. Additionally, there is a second equally cute dress included in the gift. This FREE gift is fully mesh and comes in several sizes. Hurry over to BlackRose and pick up this beautiful FREE dress before it’s no longer available.
These FREE group gift heels from Empire are the perfect match for the dress. These sexy peep-toe shoes are too pretty to pass up. They include a specific fit for Maitreya, TMP, Belleza, and Slink feet, as well as a color change HUD that allows you to change colors of specific parts of the shoes by choosing between 12 colors. The Empire group has a one time join fee 0f 499 lindens. Upon joining you’ll have instant access to previous, and current group gifts, each well worth the group fee.
Last but not at all least is this studded purse from Swallow. The purse is their FREE April group gift available to all group members. This highly detailed purse has re-size scripts, and comes in several color options. The Swallow group carries a one time join fee of just 30 lindens. The purse alone is more than worth the join fee, not to mention there are several past group gifts still available.
A Guest Blog by Geoffrey Edwardstone – IT’S GROUP GIFT TIME FOR MEN…
Ydea is a freebie clothing hunter’s paradise for both men and women. Every month there are new group gifts for both sexes and the group is free to join. Better yet, the previous group gifts stick around for awhile. There are two whole walls full of outfits, one for men and one for women, that you can pick up for absolutely no charge at all. Ydea’s new April gift, the Tropez shorts outfit, put me in a warm weather mood, so I ambled over to the Tiki bar to get a picture of it for you. The outfit comes with a mesh overshirt, shorts with sculpty legs, and mesh sneakers.
And how about this little beauty? I’m talking here about the outfit, not the car. If you happen to own a white sports car you can find the perfect outfit for cruising around with the top down on the Ydea past group gift board. The Grant outfit includes pants layer dress pants, black buckled sculpty shoes, and a blue mesh jacket with open collared shirt.
Another good place to find free men’s clothing is Resun. Resun specialzes in outfits with a bit of a European fashion flair to them. In addition to the regular group gift near the entrance, there are group freebies scattered among the regular-priced items (you just have to look for them) and there is a separate discount area with lower-priced older items. The outfit I’m showing here is the Roby Group Gift (free to join) featuring traditional clothing layer leather pants and shirt with prim collar and cuffs. I’m also wearing low black casual shoes from Gabriel (former hunt gift) and Gabriel’s Unisex Body Bag (free group gift, free to join). The free body bag group gift also comes in cheetah and camouflage fabrics.

If you haven’t started the Burnt Like a Firecracker Hunt yet, you should. I just started out and found the Lambskin Red Leather Pants at XTC. I grabbed my Red Leather Dress Shoes out of my closet from Duh! I rarely have a chance to wear them, so I thought, “What the heck”.
LaVie has a new group gift out. The Andre Skin has facial and chest hair. The group is $300L to join but you get a monthly skin, and a hairy chest. 😉
