All-Nighter

All-Nighter

I just couldn’t put the book I was reading down. Blue had gone to bed hours ago, at what anyone would have considered a late hour. I had replied that I too would call it a night after just a moment longer. One more page, a chapter, just a bit more.  A moment longer turned into hours later, the once blazing fire in the fireplace now glowing red embers, and the morning sun was hinting over the horizon.

It didn’t help the situation that I had the cozy comfort of the oversized arm chair and a fuzzy warm blanket to keep me content and steadily reading my book. Come to think of it the glass of wine probably contributed to my unintentional all-nighter as well. The chair with props, and table with wine and decadent chocolates are both part of the Monster Mash hunt prize at Kitty Creations. There are several individual and couples poses, many with fun props in this set. You can hunt it down for 1 linden at Kitty Creations. If you’re not in a hunting sort of mood, you can also purchase the set for 25 linden for the duration of the hunt.

With my quite cozy spot near the fire, and my equally comfortable attire I was left with little ability to resist the allure of finishing my novel. This cute as heck tank top is a free Lucky Letter board prize at Pink Cream Pie. Not only is the witchy graphic cute, with the pastel colors versus the usual dark colors of the season, it references a favorite Halloween movie of mine, Hocus Pocus.  To participate in the Pink Cream Pie Lucky Boards (there are 3 new prizes) you’ll need the group tag. The Pink Cream Pie group has a join fee of 314 linden. There are quite a few group gifts available as well, you’ll find the boards and the group gifts on the second floor.

The Mermaid

The Mermaid

Hi there Fab Free! I had so much fun styling this look that I’m just going to get right to it and tell you all about it. This “Ocean” toned skin from PixyStix is truly gorgeous on, I love looking at it. It also kind of reminds me of blue raspberry kool-aid, which is awesome! This fantasy skin is the FREE Hunt for Your Inner Slut prize at PixyStix. As always, Pixy was very generous with this gift, included with this skin are appliers for just about everything out there. Seriously, tons of appliers.

I’ve always liked the idea of mixing genres and styles to create a more unique look. I love mixing vintage and modern styles for example. This time I went with the fantasy look of the skin from PixyStix and added some modern clothing from Apple May Designs, and the jewelry is somewhere in between. AMD is participating in the Recolors of Spring Hunt. The hunt is a dollarbie hunt and there are several items in the AMD store. This silver metallic bandeau style top and matching skirt set is just one of the four total gifts for women. There are also two hunt prizes for the men. For just one linden this outfit is a steal! You can also find this dress in gold, and I am happy to tell you that this RSH prize includes several appliers, or it can be worn on regular system layers. Happy Hunting!

Lastly, what modern mermaid would be complete without a kick-butt mani/pedi? Today is the last day of the current round of The Dressing Room Fusion. ZOZ has a set pretty shiny nails meant for Slink hands/feet in 3 colors for just 70 lindens per color. These are specifically meant to show off the cool feature of the most recent slink update, you can put a different nail pattern on each individual nail. Can’t make it out to TDRF in time? Not to worry, the sets will be available at the ZOZ main store at full price after TDRF ends.

Here are the details, Enjoy!

She’s Gone Wayward

Wayward Hunt

Hi Fab Free! As you can see we are having a great time with the recently started Wayward Hunt! Not only is this hunt FREE but there are tons of amazing designers participating. Thus far I’ve been very impressed with the hunt items, so of course I had to get in on the fun of showing them off!

I love this hairstyle with the fun rainbow ends and cute top bun is the FREE Wayward Hunt prize from Blues. The hairstyle is named Beau and comes in a blond version and the brunette version shown. The rainbow colored ends are beautifully done, and they give this pretty, casual style an edgy playfulness.

This pale freckled skin with red eye-makeup and red lips is the FREE Wayward Hunt gift from The Skinnery. This gift includes the skin in a dark brows option (shown) and a no brows option. Also included with this gift are appliers for the TMP body. (I used the Maitreya HUD to manually adjust my skin-tone to match the Skinnery tone)

The moment I saw this skirt on Flickr, I knew I had to have it! The skirt is the FREE Wayward Hunt gift from Yumyums. It’s a fully mesh skirt and was intended to be worn with the Maitreya body. I think this vibrant floral print is perfect for the season, and the pleats are super cute.

Next, the shoes! I am a sucker for a cute pair of wedge heels. These open-toe wedges are the FREE Wayward hunt prize at Livalle (formerly L. Warwick). The shoes include version to fit Slink High, Belleza, and Maitreya feet.

Finally, the hanging rug with the string of lights in the background is the FREE hunt prize from Toro. The textures area really beautiful, I love the bohemian element to the style. Also, the lights can be turned off and on with just a click. I think this pretty piece would look great indoors or on a covered patio, and it’s great for photos!

A Slice of Cherry Cake

Cherry Cake Hunt 1

Hi again Fab Free’rs! It’s been a while since I’ve participated in a big hunt, and something about the Cherry Cake Hunt was irresistible. Maybe it was the idea of cherries or cake… probably the cake! 😛 As you might imagine the hunt is full of cute cherry and cupcake themed goodies. The Cherry Cake Hunt is a 1 linden hunt, so each hunt prize is just 1 linden.

I picked out a handful of my favorites from the hunt, starting with this fringed cropped tank top from Emporium. The top is full mesh and comes in standard sizes with a matching alpha. Next, I just can not get enough of these glasses from Tabou Irresistible. The glasses come in two versions, one with the cupcake graphic shown, and the other pair has a sexy lips graphic. I thought these “Lennon” style glasses were perfect with the fringed top! Continuing with the cute cupcakes, Le Forme‘s CCH prize is this evil cute cupcake collar. Like the glasses, this prize also has a second version. The other collar has a charm that says “Basic  Bitch” instead of this creepy kawaii cupcake.

As I mentioned before, each of these CCH prizes are just 1 linden. At such a great price, there were many great gifts on this hunt. I put together one more quick look to show you using just two of the CCH prizes.

Cherry Cake Hunt 2

So this pajama set with the teal top and matching cupcake print boy-shorts from Aphrodisiac were just too cute to pass up. The set includes regular system layers, as well as Omega and Slink Physique appliers. Finally, this hairstyle from Ayashi is super cute. There is something about pigtails that makes them perfect with pajamas. The cherries at the base of each pigtail add to the cuteness of this style. The hair comes in just the color shown, and includes a matching alpha.

Here are the details, Happy Hunting!

ChiChickie floats away in Azul and :SMC:!

Greetings!

I have so many cute and fabulous things to show you today!  First, there is this amazing FREE April group gift dress from Azul (FREE to join).  I LOVE all the colors in it…so vibrant and fun! Azul has been around a very long time and always makes such beautiful gowns, for top models and MVW contestants, so I was pleasantly surprised to see an every day dress put out as the latest group gift.  It just begs for Spring and enjoying all those outdoor activities!  Speaking of which, I scored these fabulous balloons at the Monochromatic Fair, from Dyer Maker…the are totally FREE and when you click on them, they play a flying animation (shown in the photo) and cute little butterflies animate around you!  The SLURL to  Monochromatic Fair is a forced landing, so you will need to search for Dyer Maker, but it is well worth it for such a cute FREE gift!

My Watermelon makeup is also FREE from *Les Petits Details*(*LpD*)…it is worn on a tattoo layer and the pack comes with sinlge as well as combination layers.  You’ll find the makeup and many more FREE gifts on the walkways…just outside the clothing and skin shops.

Sleek and stylish in Overhigh FREE Group Gift and Black Collection!

Greetings!

I have five spectacular outfits to show from the Overhigh Black Collection and a FREE Group Gift (FREE to join)!  Overhigh specializes in sophisticated, modern style with a global feel, and you can clearly see it in these pieces.

The first item I want to show you is the fabulous little black dress …simply called Overhigh Gift – 001.  This adorable dress is perfect as is or it can serve as a base piece to add your own creative touch to it with belts, boot, tights, or these amazing legwarmers; previously featured by Pru HERE.  The legwarmers are a recent release, from Maitreya, as a FREE group gift (FREE to join).  These legwarmers come with a HUD where you can choose things like leather or suede and a ton of color options!

My Verania necklace is also a FREE group gift (FREE to join) from Pure Poison and previously shown by Love HERE.  My Maria hair was shown previously by Tiana HERE and is  from Tukinowaguma.   Maria is a FREE group gift (FREE to join)…as a group member of Tukinowaguma you will also find a wall full of shoes and hair FREE!
Over High Black Collection and Group GiftNext on my list is an outfit I put together with three pieces from the Overhigh Black Collection.  ALL of the individual pieces in this outfit, and the dresses that follow, are NOT free but they are amazingly priced at only 50L each! No group join required for the sale price.

The lace top, labeled #04 in the collection, is mesh and does not require an alpha to wear, the sweet cuffed shorts are labeled #03 in the collection and the fabulously cool fuzzy jacket is labeled #07 in the collection.  Each piece is sold separately for 50L and can be located on the Overhigh Black Collection rack; located to your left as you enter the store.
Over High Black Collection and Group Gift

Next up in the Overhigh Black Collection is this all-in-one collared top and patterned skirt…labeled #08.  I love the ease of the all-in-one style with the look of separate pieces and perfectly priced at just 50L!
Over High Black Collection and Group Gift

Next in the Overhigh collection is a gorgeous gown, labeled #02, with a one shoulder asymmetric cut across the bodice and a scandalous side slit that goes on forever!  I absolutely love how simple, elegant and sexy this dress is…full of taste and sophistication…and ONLY 50L!
Over High Black Collection and Group Gift

The final piece, in the Overhigh Black Collection, is a stunning ballgown with a modern edge.  This gown, labeled #01, has a sleek feel with the horizontal stripes that alternate opaque and sheer panels…and the full flourish of the ballroom skirt.  This gown is an understated knockout…sure to turn heads when you enter the room…and an absolute steal at only 50L!
Over High Black Collection and Group Gift
I mentioned that there are two other dresses in the Overhigh Black collection…they are also really fabulous little black dresses…worth the trip to check them out!
