On the 2nd Day of Christmas…

Here we are again for Day 2 of Advent Calendar hopping. Did you check out the amazing list that Aline put together yet? Today I have a mix of decor and fashion & beauty items to share with you.

All the Pretty Things

First I want to talk a bit about the decor I found. There are some gorgeous designs in the advent calendars this year.

• [CIRCA] Living has 4 gifts up for each yesterday and today. You need to be in the group to buy them, but the group is free . The gifts themselves are between L$0 and L$75 each. I am using bauble vases (up on the fireplace mantle) and the stacked gift sled from Day 1’s offerings. Both come in 2 color choices and are L$25 and L$50 respectively.
• Hutspot has another pretty little decor gift today as well. It’s the Ho Ho Ho wooden decor up on the fireplace mantle. Just a reminder that the calendar gifts are FREE at Hutspot and you don’t even need a group!
• I also want to point out the beautifully festive Christmas tree and wreath. They are available this weekend at FlyingArts as part of the Island Weekend Sale. So be sure to go check that out! FlyingArts has an advent calendar as well, also FREE and no group needed.

This lovely dress is the gift at Alter today. It is FREE but you need the group tag, which is also FREE  to join. It is fit for the following bodies:

• Belleza Freya & Isis
• Legacy
• Maitreya
• Slink Hourglass & Physique

I’m also wearing the super high tied up heels from Not Pink. They were still available which I checked earlier, but they may not be soon, so hurry hurry! The gift itself is free and the group is only L$10 to join. These shoes are fit for:

• Kupra
• Legacy
• Maitreya
• Reborn

Lastly we have some lovely accessorizing options available today:

• The necklace is FREE and no group needed at M&M Style. The gift includes a matching bracelet and both are unrigged.
• I’m wearing nails from Frick-n-Frack again…FREE with no group needed. These fit Belleza, BBL, Kupra, Maitreya, Reborn and Slink hands.

My eyeshadow, lipstick and eyes are also from advent calendars so be sure to check all the details in the credits below! Thank you for reading!

Until next time!

I Need a Pig Here!

Hey gang!

This outfit reminded me of a modern sort of Red Queen from Alice in Wonderland.  See how she sits surveying her royal domain?  Wouldn’t you like to play Red Queen too (Off with their heads!!!)?  I’m here to tell you how!  Just put your feet up on your pig, call in your fat boys, grab a dwink and lets go!

The Sexy Red and Black Dress

I found this dress at a shop called Mia Styles.  It is a free group gift and the group is free to join.  It fits:

• Lara
• Freya
• Slink

Remember, You Can Tune a Piano But…

Now the pose and the piano come from Le Poppycock, where a lot of us have been stalking lately, because she literally has a room of Next Up machines to play with more cute and fun poses than you can shake a stick at! (pictures herself standing in the room shaking a stick at the machines but finally giving up)  The machines are all 75L or less a play (this one is 75L) and one of my very favorite things about these poses is that you can use them anywhere, because you wear the prop and it poses you, so you do not have to rez them! (does happy dance!)  So am I wearing the piano or is the piano wearing me?  One of life’s great mysteries my friends, but whichever way, it works like a charm!

Did you eat my tarts???

Sweeter Than Sweet

Alright, I’ll admit it, I’m almost as big a sucker for sweets as I am for freebies, which makes this time of year particularly dangerous. Hi there Fab Free’rs, I’m sure you’ve noticed the influx of more or less Valentine’s Day themed goodies to be had around the grid. I’ve been sneaking some pre-Valentine’s Day chocolates while wearing the latest group gift from Boubouki and the gorgeous Saturday Sale offer from Cae. Keep reading and I’ll give you more details about each of these finds, and the credits will be listed at the end as always.

Cae

I’m starting with the Saturday Sale item at Cae because it’s of course a limited time offer. This gorgeous “Ayana” jewelry set is just 75 linden. The vendor will also allow you to send this necklace and earrings set as a gift. The earrings and necklace are both able to be sized via touch menu and there is a color change hud. The hud lets you pick from several beautiful presets for the gemstones as well as the metal parts of the jewelry.

Boubouki

As I mentioned above, my pretty red crop top is a free group gift at Boubouki. At this time the Boubouki group is free to join and there are 2 group gifts available. This red top has some pretty red detailing at the bottom hem, which I completely failed to show in my photo (sorry!) and comes in several sizes. To get yours you’ll need to go to Boubouki and join the free-to-join group, then pay the gift vendor 1 linden, you’ll be instantly refunded 1 linden, and your gift will be delivered to you.

Sizes Included: Slink (Hourglass, Physique), Belleza (Venus, Isis), Maitreya Lara

This little red dress is sexy and to some may be revealing, but for me it shows some, while leaving lots to the imagination. This dress is a lot of fun, just need to watch how and where you sit! This dress would be great for a night on the town or maybe you just want to turn the head of,  your special someone, while having a nice relaxing time in. The dress is worth it, I have worn it for a couple days now and absolutely love it.

I have hazel eyes in real life and have always wanted blue eyes, so why not wear them here in Second Life! Whether you need a good base for eyes and you’re just starting out or you like to collect many different items, these are worth a stop to shop! Let’s not forget they are FREE, just wear your Fab Free group tag and they are all yours!

Gun-Slinger

Annie Oakley

This isn’t the wild west but this outfit made me think of Annie Oakley who sort of paved the way for women to gain prowess with their own shooting skills. One of her more popular quotes (according to google) is: “There are always women who will take men on their own terms. If I were a man I wouldn’t bother to change while there are women like that around.” I had to stop and wonder a moment if she meant that they shouldn’t bother to change clothes… but maybe that is just me being silly 😛

Where to get the Digs

At any rate, you will find this great all-in-one outfit at SA Quartermaster, gun included, for many different mesh bodies. It comes in all one piece so nothing is detachable, and it does not include the boots. You do get a color change hud with four different colors of red, including a camouflage red color. This gift is completely free as part of the Cupid’s Conspiracy Hunt going on right now.

Mesh Size Compatibility:

• Classic Mesh XS – L
• TMP
• Maitreya
• Tonic – Fine & Curvy
• Slink – Physique & Hourglass
• Belleza – Freya, Isis, & Venus

Envious Hearts

Hello Fab Free’rs! I hope you had a wonderful weekend. Is it too early to be thinking about Valentine’s Day? I’m not sure if it’s all the Valentine’s Day stuff I’m already seeing in stores or what but I saw this cute dress by Envious and instantly wanted to wear it. I suppose it doesn’t have to be a Valentine’s Day only dress. Either way, it sure is cute with it’s Peter Pan style collar and little red hearts.

Whether you save it for Valentine’s Day or wear it right away, at just 1 linden (no group needed) this sweet dress from Envious is well worth the effort. You’ll find it for sale among the current Envious group gifts. It comes in several mesh sizes and includes an alpha layer for Classic non-mesh avatars. Don’t miss out on this adorable dollarbie from Envious!

Mesh Sizes included: Standard Mesh (xxs – L), Belleza (Isis, Freya, Venus), Maitreya Lara, Slink Hourglass, TMP

Here are the details, Enjoy!

Get Baked at the Frost Fair

Hello again Fab Free’rs! As we creep closer and closer to Christmas I’m realizing I have so much still to do! Doesn’t it always seem that no matter how well you plan there’s always something left to be done. Baking is on the list of things to be done. Truth be told I probably do more baking Christmas Eve than I do the rest of the year combined. I like to gift baked goods. With that in mind the outfit Pru is wearing is very much an outfit I’d spend all day Christmas Eve in while I made a mess of my kitchen! Keep reading to find out how to pick up the headband, top, and slippers for 1 linden each.

Petite Mort

Like all the gifts in this post, the cute “Let’s Get Baked” top by Petite Mort is a dollarbie gift at the Frost Fair. This fun holiday themed top comes in several mesh sizes. To get yours, look for the gold and red gift box at the Petite Mort and buy it for 1 linden.

Mesh Sizes Included: Belleza (Freya, Isis, Venus), TMP, Maitreya Lara, Slink (Hourglass, Physique)

Slipper

The perfect house shoes for a day of holiday baking, these shoes are the dollarbie gift from Slipper at the Frost Fair. I really like the little details such as the stitching around the edges. This cute dollarbie is waiting for you at the Frost Fair in a pretty gold and red package at the Slipper booth. The shoes come in a few sizes, including a standard mesh size with a shoe base.

Mesh Sizes Included: Standard, Slink, Belleza, Maitreya

La Catrina

Happy Halloween Fab Free’rs! I hope everyone had a decent Monday. Mine was mostly rubbish, but I’m here now so all is right with the world. lol Truth be told I am quite excited about the sexy freebies I have to share with you today, so I won’t waste any time with chit chat. I hope you like these great gifts also!

Red Red Red

I’m not sure how I missed this FREE gift from ISON, or I definitely would have blogged it sooner. ISON has the red version of their harness top set out as a FREEbie for everyone. Just in time for a devilishly sexy Halloween look you can head over to ISON where you’ll see the vendor board for this sexy harness style top. Just click on the main vendor photo that shows the top in red and you can purchase it for zero linden. There is no need to join a group or wear any tag. This gift also has a really cool feature, it comes with a hud that lets you make the bra cups of the harness invisible, as well as the back of the harness so you can more easily wear it with or under other clothing.

Mesh Sizes Included: Maitreya Lara, Slink (Physique, Hourglass)

Gilded Webs

The golden spiderweb ear cuffs with the red jewels are a recent group gift at Nanika. The Nanika group is FREE to join at this time. Thanks to built in resize scripts, these unique and beautiful pieces of jewelry were easy to fit over the ears of my Catwa head, though don’t believe a mesh head is required to wear them. You’ll find this gift vendor just inside the entrance.

Who You Gonna Claw

A friend recently sent me a teleport to join them at the Formanails main location, my letter was up on two of the lucky boards there. Now I am super thankful she clued me in. These lovely bento stiletto nails are one of the FREE Lucky Letter prizes at Formanails. Also, no group is needed for the Lucky Letter boards at Formanails, anyone can play. Not only are the nails bento, so they will move with your bento hands, they also include a color change hud with a wide range of nail colors. This specific prize was for the Maitreya set, however there is a Slink compatible set up on the Lucky boards also.
