Peppermint Mocha

This time of year I always find myself reflecting on the year past, and looking forward to the year ahead. This year has been and continues to be one for the books. I hope everyone reading this has had a great year full of things to be grateful for. I am thankful for so many things, and extra thankful that you’re here reading this post!

For this blog post I did some of the Candy Cane Hunt hosted by Kastle Rock Couture. There are several paths on this hunt, each with 3 linden hunt prizes. I picked up the free gift at Kastle Rock, along with the 3 linden hunt prize at Kastle Rock. I also got the hunt prize at Luna to share with you. Keep reading for some details about each one, or scroll down for full credits. Happy Hunting!

Kastle Rock

Kastle Rock is the starting point for the Candy Cane Hunt. It’s also where you can pick up the free sunglasses shown sitting on the pile of books next to me in the above photo. This unisex gift is meant to be worn, has resize scripts for easy fitting. You’ll find this freebie waiting near the entrance to the Kastle Rock main store. Kastle Rock also happens to be a stop on the Sugar Plum path of the Candy Cane Hunt. The comfy holiday jammies I’m wearing is their 3 linden hunt prize. The set comes with a color change hud for the top with the choice of white, green, or red. There are also quite a few sizes, including those suitable for classic non mesh avatars, and an alpha layer is in the package as well.

Sizes Included: Classic Mesh + Alpha Layers, Belleza (Isis, Freya, Venus), Maitreya Lara, TMP, Slink (Hourglass, Physique), Slender Fit, Curvy Fit

Hint – Sugar Plum Fairy Path – “Santa’s Helper says huh? August has a candy cane version?”

Luna

The deep red manicure and pedicure I am sporting is part of another Candy Cane Hunt prize. This one can be found at Luna. The red is a bit darker in my photo than it actually looks when worn. This cute nail applier set comes with 6 wintery/holiday options, 3 shimmery solid colors(red, white, blue), and red, white, or blue with cute snowflakes. Luna is also a stop on the Sugar Plum Fairy path of the Candy Can Hunt.

Appliers included: Slink, Maitreya, Belleza

Hint – Sugar Plum Fairy Path – “I love nutcrackers, reindeer and snowmen.”

A Bit Creepy, A Lot Cute

Oh I am so ready for this season of pumpkins and leaves crunching underfoot!  I have come to realise that Fall really is my favourite season.  Summer gets a lot of the hurrah, I find, but Fall is really more wondrous for me.  It could be the colour of the leaves, the wonderful celebrations, or even perhaps that crispness in the air.  I don’t know what it is, but I do love it.

Trick or Treat!

I usually wait a bit longer (do I?) to start posting Halloween gear, but when I nipped over to Trick or Treat Lane I couldn’t help but get excited.  All the creators have put a gift outside their little displays, and they’re all FREE!  No group join required either, just buy the gift for 0L.  Here’s what I’m showing you:

• FREE Top by Pink Cream Pie sized for Freya, Hourglass and Maitreya
• FREE Tights by Alaskametro with an Omega Applier
• FREE Sneakers by Oubliette sized for Belleza, Maitreya and Slink
• FREE Hairclips by The Nerdy Birdie, which are editable so you can place them just where you like.

Trick or Treat Lane is open until November 1st so you’ve got plenty of time to pick up your goodies – what else will you find lurking at Trick or Treat Lane?

Did You Hear That?

Friday the 13th is the perfect day to go camping, right? Surely nothing sinister would happen… I can just hear the iconic “something bad is about to happen” music starting to play! I love a classic horror flick, so when Blue showed me these Camp Crystal Lake tees by ZFG (Zero F*cks Given) I had to share them with you; today being Friday the 13th is just the icing on the cake.

The matching his and hers shirts are the free Twisted Hunt prize at ZFG. When hunting be wary of the decoy boxes the Twisted Hunt is famous for. The Twisted Hunt runs through the end of the month, so you have some time to get things figured out. There are no hints either, so I can’t help you there. To get yours, you’ll have to head over to ZFG and hunt it down! The male and female version are in the same box.

Men’s Shirt Sizes: Aesthetic, Belleza Jake, Signature (Geralt, Gianni), Slink, Standard Mesh (xs – XL) + Alpha Layer

Women’s Shirt Sizes: Belleza (Isis, Freya, Venus), Slink (Physique, Hourglass), Maitreya Lara, Tonic (Curvy, Fine), TMP, Standard Mesh (xs – XL) + Alpha Layer

Look to the Past

In the midst of all the scouring the Grid for freebies and Group Gifts… sometimes we over look the great sales so many designers hold. I almost missed out on this wonderful top over at Oubliette because I was haunting the new Luckyboards.

Oh! Look!

I was bouncing back and forth between Petite Mort and Oubliette trying to grab a couple of luckyboard prizes allll evening. Then,on one of those bounces… I saw this lucious top -> Maia. The top comes in three dreamy colors and each one is only 50L. You could pickup all three for less than the price of one regular top. But, as with all sales, this on may end soon. So don’t wait around.

Sizes Included

• Belleza – Freya, Isis, Venus
• Maitreya
• SLink – Hourglass, Physique
• TMP

Look to the past

And what does a sweet new top need? A great new pair of boots to strut your stuff in! I hoped on the Marketplace looking for some hidden treasure and these cute “Tabitha” boots from WellMade. Now, I love WellMade and I got all excited when Isaw that the boots are actually a past Group Gift. So I ran over and grabbed them… for free! If you don’t have room for another Group or free groups aren’t your thing, you can grab these for only 7L on the Marketplace.

Sizes Included

• Belleza
• Maitreya
• SLink

Why you should never let the elf drive….

Holy crow… what a long day! So, I had the bright idea to drive us to the beach for some fun in the sun. You know … a girls day out! I mean, we all had a long week and the men were off doing guy stuff. It’s the perfect time, right?  Plus, I know this great little beach waaayyy off the beaten path…

Apparently, it was a little too far of the beaten path. Cause I’m pretty sure we’re lost…..

At least we look good in the latest Hunt prizes from Petite Mort and Oubliette…. right?

Searching for Summer

Witchwood is having their own Sizzlin’ Summer Hunt hosted by Petite Mort and Oubliette, running until August 9th. Each piece is prices between 10 and 20 lindens when you hunt down the colorful beachballs they’re hidden in. If that wasn’t enough, there’s a 50% off everything ( except Gachas) sale going on too!

Dreaming in Vintage

Calling all of my fellow Fab Free furniture and décor lovers! I cannot express to you how gorgeous the gacha set Oubliette has out at Gachaland is. The colors are rich, and the textures are lush. If you’re into deep jewel tones with a vintage eclectic feel, this set is for you. It includes all the furniture and decor items pictured, minutes the sweet sleeping corgi. This gacha by Oubliette is just 50 linden per play at Gachaland. I’ll include a photo of the gacha key below.

To go along with this setup, I also picked up the latest free group gift at Jian. I love this sweet sleeping corgi so much! He/she has a touch menu that lets you turn on or off a breathing animation, change between several preset fur choices for the puppy, and pick the color of the pillow. To get your copy of this adorable group gift just head over to Jian and join their group. Right now the Jian group is free to join. You’ll find this free gift and a handful of others waiting at the Jian main store.

Kimono BoHo

Are ya feeling lucky? Well… are ya?  Cause I sure am!

I was making my normal rounds today when I popped into Oubliette to check out the groups and the Lucky boards and Bingo! There was a big ol’ J on this awesome kimono and tank set! Lucky Lucky Me!

This is the ‘Midnight Velvet Burnout Kimono’ and it’s one of four lucky boards in the Oubliette mainstore. All you need to do is be a member of the free Petite Mort and Oubliette group and wait for your lucky letter to pop up and it’s all yours. The kimono and tank are one piece but you get a nice HUD of styles and colors for the tank. I love the relaxed boho look I’ve got going on here.

Sizes Included

• Belleza – Freya, Isis, Venus
• Classic Mesh XXS-L
• Maitreya
• SLink – Hourglass, Physique

 

Sweet 16

So, I took my boho self over to the grand SecondLife 16th Birthday celebration… and wooooow. There’s a ton to see and do! I was nearly overwhelmed. There are so many free gifts both at the main celebration and in the shopping area… I lost count of them all!  I may never open all these boxes.  But I was really pleased when the gift from Earthstones matched my kimono boho outfit so perfectly.

This the ‘Ferris’ necklace in moonstone and pearls and it’s Eathstones free SL16 gift. There’s also a matching set of earrings. Like everything from Earthstones, this set is absolutely perfectly made and simply gorgeous.

P.S.

Lastly, I have a quick note about my hair. While I’m not featuring my new hair, I want to pass along the news that Magika is finishing up their big Summer sale tomorrow, the 25th. All the hair in the store is 50% off. Even the deep discount hair. For everyone not just Group members. It’s a great time to grab those styles you had your eye on!

Mother of Dragons

*Sigh*…. Just thinking that Sunday isn’t Game of Thrones day anymore makes me sad. Love it or hate it, it was certainly a big part of TV history for eight years. Enchantment has a great way to say “Farewell” to one of our favorite shows with a FREE “Games of Thrones” Hunt. While I was hunting around a tumbled down castle, I found this egg. I think I’d make a great “Dragon Mom”! Now… how it hatch it…..

Simone

I found my lovely new hair hiding in one of the Hunt’s ‘Dragon Eggs’. This is “Simone” from DeLa. The back of the hair is beautifully coiled and the front strands just lay so pretty. Simone comes with a HUD with eighteen colors including some dip dyes so I imagine you can find a color to love.

My Little friend

I already have a little dragon… on my ear! MOoh is giving away these cute little dragon ear cuffs as their prize for the Enchantment Hunt. Each ear cuff can be resized and repositioned to fit perfectly which is great for those of us “differently eared”. You can also change the color of the metal and the color of the wings to match your taste.

Booted

My boots are also a free Enchantment Hunt prize. These are the “Calla Boots” from Have Unequal. I was really pleased with the high quality of these boots. The details and textures are spot on. I will be checking out Have Unequal from now on .

Sizes Included

• Maitreya

Lucky Me

Even my top was free. But it isn’t one of the hunt gifts. This is the “Onyx Bruja” top from Oubliette and it’s a gift on the lucky boards. Just join the Petite Mort/Oubliette group and have a little luck for your letter to come up. The Oubliette group is free to join so you have nothing to loose and everything to gain!

Sizes Included

• Maitreya

Egg Mom

Last, but not least, this sweet pose with a dragon’s egg is the Enchantment Hunt prize from Le Poppycock. “Protector of Dragons” comes with the green egg you see here. Just add the egg and you are ready to be a dragon Mom, or Dad, too.

Music Raised Me

Hey There Fab Free’rs! As always, welcome back to the blog. Today I’ve got a few free group gifts to share with you that I know you’ll love. First, Petite Mort and Oubliette both have some super cute floral chucks as current group gifts. Second, Kibitz has a cool set of “barbed wire” bangles as their Access event group gift. Keep reading for all the info on these great gifts.

Anyone who says you can have too many shoes in Second Life is delusional if you ask me. Lately I’ve been really into stylish casual shoes. These floral chucks by Petite Mort definitely fit that description. They are a free group gift for all “Petite Mort & Oubliette VIP Group” members. The group also happens to free to join. The best part, Oubliette also has a cute pair of skully floral chucks as a group gift that you can pick up for free with the same group tag. I’ll include a photo of those below. These shoes come in sizes for Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink feet.

Next up, Kibitz has a set of “barbed wire” bangles for free at the Access event. I say “barbed wire” in quotations because they are a lot more elegant looking than could be expected. The metal has an almost brushed look, which in my opinion make them look more like jewelry and a little less sinister. These bracelets are free to all Access event group members, and the group is free to join. Included with the gift is a color change hud that lets you pick from 4 preset metallic colors.
