FabFree Designer of The Week – 05/04/18 – Poeme

Hey Fab Folks!  It’s Friday again and that means it’s time to feature one of our Fabulous Designers!  Normally Prudence Rexroth does this whole showing off of our participating designers, but she’s been away with an out of city move.  Hopefully she’ll have her internet set up next week as she’s got a real knack for this!  I’ll do my best to fill-in this week 🙂

Poeme is our feature for this week and as you can see from the photo above, it’s a lovely two story shop rezzed in a beautiful park setting.  Owned and operated by Elysiane Sapphire, this shop is filled with affordable and well made ladies fashions, shoes and accessories.  You’ll find several FREE gifts too on both levels of the store!

Just inside the doors, you’ll find the reception desk, and above it – a sweet little floral dress that you can pick up as a group gift for being part of their inworld group which costs only 1L to join.

Once you head up the stairs behind the desk, you’ll find that there is a VIP area with seating where you can comfortably stalk lucky boards or just sit down and cam shop.  You’ll find our Fabulously Free in SL group gift there (blogged by me HERE), as well as a Teleport Hub group gift (shown by Kat HERE) and a SLF&O group gift as well.  Under those group gifts you’ll find three open lucky boards that anyone can participate in and to the right you’ll find the group Midnight Mania and group lucky board offers.

Happy exploring everyone!  Thanks for reading FabFree ♥

Beach More, Worry Less

Hello there, Fabulouses!  It was one of those days in real life when the day to day stresses seemed to pile up on my shoulders, and all I wanted to do was escape to the shore.  Since I am a long way from the ocean, Ripley and I did the next best thing……we escaped to NorderNey in Second Life.  Of course, I had to wear the newest addition to my summery wardrobe – a free gift for members of the Teleport Hub group.

Like the Sea – Wild and Free

This beautiful Turquesa Boho Beach Dress from Poeme is perfect for soaking up some sunshine in the salty air.  It features slender spaghetti straps, a comfy casual cut, and a soft pale teal hue.    I really like the intricate white pattern which is swirled across the fabric.  The free gift package also includes a pair of Mandala Turquoise earrings that coordinate perfectly with the outfit.  With versions for classic as well as mesh avatars, this warm weather frock is sure to fit most.  To add Turquesa to your SL closet, simply teleport over to Poeme, activate your Teleport Hub group tag, and tap the vendor.  If you’re not already part of the group, membership costs only 10L, and includes gifts around the grid.  It’s so worth the fee!

Sizes and Mesh Body Compatibility:

• Fitted mesh
• Standard mesh in XXS, XS, S, M, and L
• Alpha layer for classic avatars
• Hourglass
• Maitreya
• Physique
• Mandala Turquoise Earrings also included

Until my next post, happy shopping!

Pink Bubblegum

Hey there Fabulous Readers! Today I have some super pink and girly things to tell you about.

Rosy Posie Pink

At Poeme (take the stairs up to the VIP area), you’ll find this adorable Rosy Posie Dress in pink as a free group gift set to the FabFree inworld group – which as always, is free to join!  I have added a denim jacket from my inventory to break up the pink a little bit, but it’s great on it’s own as a sleeveless dress too.  Available in several mesh body fits as well as standard sizing with an alpha layer for those on the system body.

Dress Sizes Included:

• XXS-L Mesh + Alpha Layer
• Maitreya Lara
• Slink Physique & Hourglass
• Belleza Freya, Isis & Venus
• TMP

Try Your Luck At Phedora

These cute little Mina Boots in light pink are available in one of the 6 new lucky boards at Phedora.  You’ll need to be a member of the Phedora inworld group to participate in their lucky boards as they are set to group and it will cost you 300L to join, but there are plenty of group gifts and lucky board prizes to re-coup that fee.  They are compatible with Maitreya, Belleza & Slink.

Good luck!

Ok, But First… Coffee

Morning Fabulouses!  Yeah… I can’t do anything before coffee…  Coffee always comes first, and a chocolate pastry never hurts either.  My springy look today is put together with two free hunt items by Poeme, and a group gift and a 60L special by Siss Boom.

Dressed by Siss Boom

At Siss Boom you’ll find these High Waisted Jeans in a dark and medium denim as a free group gift for being a part of their VIP group.  This group will cost you 500L to join, but there are currently 28 really nice group gifts to obtain with this membership making it well worth the fee.   These jeans are omega appliers, so they work fabulously under longer tops like the one I am wearing or jackets.

The lacy top you see me wearing today is also available at Siss Boom, and is currently on sale for 60L until Wednesday as a limited time offer.  It comes in the sizes listed below and also includes a rose which you can add to the chest.  I of course missed it completely and noticed it after I took the photo, but it’s cute with or without ;).

Sizes Included:

• XXS-L Mesh + Alpha Layer
• Maitreya Lara
• Slink Physique & Hourglass
• Belleza Freya, Isis & Venus
• TMP
• Tonic Fine & Curvy
• Ebody

Accessorize at Poeme

Poeme has 6 pastel easter eggs hidden in the gardens outside their shops for The FREE Dozen Good Eggs Hunt that just started yesterday! In two of the eggs, you’ll find the Mandala Turquoise Earrings and Mandala Teal Flats which accessorized my outfit today!  The Flats include Maitreya, Slink and an unrigged version.  Grab the Hunt HUD while you are there to TP to other shops participating in this fabulous free Easter Hunt with six prizes in each store!

Have a great Monday!

Running Errands

Hello Fabulouses 😉  In this blog entry, I’ll be sharing news about a free fatpack of hair by Truth, a couple of 10L finds at The Wash Cart Sale and some items priced at 50% off at Petite Mort!

The Hair…  I always start with the hair!

Astra by Truth is available as a FREE gift in a full fatpack of colours and includes the stylist HUD that allows you to make a few changes to make this cute “do” your style! Astra was a previous release so you may already have it in your inventory, but has been updated with the new colours and stylist HUD options!  You’ll find this free hair gift priced at 0L at The Shop Your Heart Out Event Truth display along with some really great half price sale items.  Additionally, the hairstyles that they have on sale for the event is also on sale in their marketplace store!

The Outfit

The other day, I shared news about a big moving sale [HERE] at Petite Mort/Oublette and I am wearing more half price finds again today.  I can’t help myself – I am a huge fan of this boho casual style.  You’ll find the Chiffon Halter Top, BF Jeans and Moto Jackets all priced very affordably at 50% off until February 19th!

Completing The Look

Sometimes to complete an outfit, you need to add a little something extra, and today I am showing off a couple of accessories you can pick up at The Poeme display at The Wash Cart Sale for 10L a piece!   The Pueblo cross body fringed suede bags are available in ten different colours and the Dangle Earrings in seven! The Spring Is In The Air Event on The Wash Sim where everything is just 10L is ending on February 14th… which is tomorrow!  If you haven’t had a chance to check out what the participating designers have for you, make sure to make some time for it today!

Sleepyhead

I just wanted fairy lights…

Hey there FabFree! I’m coming to you late in the evening, half asleep with my freebie news today as I have been fighting with my pre-lit Christmas Tree all day.  I thought it was going to be a simple little thing to get the lights off and put the new teeny fairy lights on… but no…  they are all weaved into the branches and clipped on!  I have no idea who was paid to install the lights into that tree, but I sure hope they were paid well because they did a fabulous job.

Cookies Trees For You And Me

I am having a hard time even looking at any more tree branches tonight, but this was too cute to pass up.  You should know that these adorable Cookie Trees Jammies are available as a free group gift for the Teleport Hub group at Poeme.  These come in XS-L mesh sizes and include the alpha layer in case you need it for a system body.  I am wearing my Maitreya Lara Body and it worked well with the alpha HUD.  The Teleport Hub group is just 10L and you can find this group gift just upstairs at Poeme.

Shake Your Reindeer Booties

At Vicarious Youth, you can find the Reindeer Booties in several baby, kid and adult sizes as a free gift for The Peace On Earth Hunt!  I did have my Maitreya Body on, and wore the Slink version with my feet turned off.  Worked like a charm!

Bootie Sizes Included:

• Resize Version
• Slink
• TD Baby
• TD Kid

Making Holiday Plans

I’ll be home for Christmas, You can count on me…

I am pretty excited this year that I get to be home for Christmas.  Sure, it’s a little more work to host the holidays instead of attend them, but you know what?  The holidays are exhausting no matter where they are and at least I get to sleep in my own bed!  I’m sure I’ll be kicking myself later when I’m up at the crack of dawn, slaving over the stove and have wrapping ribbons stuck in my hair, but for now it seems like a nice idea!  There will be snow, and mistletoe and presents on the tree!

You know who has a present for us?

Poeme has a lovely free gift out for the SLF&O inworld group right now that you can pick up with a free group join.  The Navaho Turquoise Argyle Sweater Dress you see me wearing is the gift you can snag and it comes in XXS – L mesh sizes plus an alpha layer if you need it.  I am wearing the Maitreya Lara body, and using the alpha hud was able to hide all the bits I needed to easy enough 🙂

ENJOY!

Shopping on the Down Low

There are times I have to do hunting and shopping with a different look to avoid all the fanboy/girling I get. Today I thought a blonde do and a dark pair of shades would do the trick… No such luck, as I was noticed fairly quickly.  I was at The Wash Cart Sale, so that may be one reason I was noticed. My outfit today is a 10L item from the Dixie Designs cart.  The Skull Hoodie with Jeans is a one piece outfit that comes in mesh sizes XS-XL. I’m still wearing the Sugar Skull Chucks I bought off the Poeme cart also for just 10L.

 Do they REALLY have more fun?

I really thought I did a good job on my disguise. The Mitchell Hair is a FREE group gift from Firelight. The hair is listed as unisex, so ladies, give it a try! The Firelight group is FREE to Join! Another FREE group gift are the Black Sunglasses from Adriatic Line. Just join the FREE group and pick up your very own pair. My last gift today is a Men Only Hunt 10 gift from Nivaro. The Tribal Stubble 2 beard applier is a FREE hunt gift if you find the missing mustache. This applier comes in Catwa, Omega and Signature (Gianni), and in five colors (White, Black, Brown, Blonde, Red).

What? you say you recognized me because of the tag over my head? DOH!

Sometime you just have to say WTF…

I don’t know what came over me. I needed to take out my frustrations so I just happened to see a police car with the keys in the ignition. Without even thinking I was behind the wheel , letting all my worries fall behind me as I was accelerating down the street. But then it happened… a cute little dog walked into the path of my speeding squad car. The only thing I could do was swerve to avoid hitting the defenseless pup… So here I am, walking away from this unfortunate accident and hoping that I don’t get caught…. Whatever…

Carting off with the goods….

Most of the items I’m wearing can be found at The Wash Cart Sale for just 10L each. The Charcoal Duster can be purchased at the Dixie Designs cart. The Leon Shirt is just one of the novelty tees that can be found at the Mystic Dragon Designs cart. and the Sugar Skull Chucks are one of the items at the Poeme cart. I put on the Jeans in Blue, the Men Only Hunt gift from Wilson Designs, that I previously wore [HERE].

Welcome back old friend…

Once again, HelaMiyo is back as one of FabFree’s wonderful group designers. The pose, Whatever, is their FabFree gift to our members, that Love announced [HERE]. Just wear your Fabulously Free in SL group tag and click the display at the store to receive your gift.
