Christmas Time is Here

Where did the weekend go? By this time Friday it will be Christmas Day! Can you believe it? I’m half in denial myself. lol Two things that seem to go hand in hand for better or worse are Christmas and shopping. I finally worked my way through the behemoth that is the Holiday Shop & Hop event and as overwhelming as it can be, I have to admit it was worth it. My inventory now flooded with gifts, I thought I’d share a few with you.

If you’ve never gone to one of the Shop & Hop events before, there are a few things you should know. First, there’s no group needed for the gifts, just click the gift box at each of the designer’s booths. Second, there are eight sims to wander through. Yes, I said eight. As you can imagine, that’s a lot of shopping and hopping. For this post I chose to share the free Holiday Shop & Hop gifts by Eclectic Stars, Unicorn, and Infiniti. Enjoy, and happy shopping Fab Free’rs!

Eclectic Stars

When it comes down to it, one of the labels that could be used to describe me (and I think most of us in SL) is “gamer.” Eclectic Stars put out the perfect Christmas sweater for any gamer girl as their free Shop & Hop gift. It has a Christmas tree on it made entirely of Space Invader-style aliens. :O So cute!

Sizes Included: Belleza (Freya, Isis, Venus), Slink (Hourglass, Physique), Maitreya Lara, eBody (Curvy, Classic), Tonic (Curvy, Fine), Standard Mesh (xxs – L) + Alpha Layer

Unicorn

As a photographer and a blogger, I’ve got an ever-growing collection of backdrops and photo props and I like it that way. The free Shop & Hop gift by Unicorn is this fun wintery holiday outdoor setting complete with a snowman, evergreen tree, and a festively decorated front porch. If you’re in need of a cute backdrop for some holiday photos, don’t skip this one.

Infiniti

Finally, this pose with the snowball and falling snow are part of the free Shop & Hop gift by Infiniti. The gift includes a set of 3 poses that include a snowball prop. The falling snow is a wearable add-on, and I have to say I love the detail of the pretty snowflakes. Almost like shoes, I’m a firm believer that there is no such thing as too many poses! For now I’m off to go see if I can’t sneak up on Blue with this snowball. Wish me luck! lol

In the Bright of the Day

Sometimes I swear I am the embodiment of one of those memes you sometimes see where there’s a girly princess on one side and a broody goth type on the other, and it suggests that each is one side of the same person. I identify with that meme so darn much! So here we are, dark and broody, but loving the bright wintery holiday season. Speaking of the up-coming holiday, this feather trimmed little black dress is a free group gift at COCO that would be amazing for a swanky Christmas party. Also, if you’ve gone and picked up the free Lelutka Lilly head Aline blogged here, you might want to check out the 60L Happy Weekend Sale at head applier/bom layer at Eudora Beauty. Keep reading and I’ll tell you all about both. After all, what better way to start the weekend than with a little retail therapy.

COCO

I love this dress by COCO. It’s simple, it’s elegant, and the feathered hemline is a welcome departure from the fur trim that is ever popular this time of year. It is also absolutely free with the COCO group tag. You can join the COCO store group for free, and pick up a few of the past group gifts as well if you haven’t already.

Sizes Included:  Maitreya (Lara/Petite), Slink Hourglass, Belleza Freya, MeshBody Legacy

Eudora Beauty

Eudora Beauty has a gorgeous bom layer and Lelutka applier skin for the Lelutka Lilly gift head that you can get for just 60 linden per skin tone during the 60L Happy Weekend Sale this weekend only. The “Lillian” skin at Eudora Beauty is a head applier/bom layer only. You’ll need to purchase the body applier/layer separately. Which given the full price of skins, is still one heck of a deal! This skin will also work with any of the Lelutka Evolution heads. Also, I used the browless option that is included with this skin and wore one of the brow options included in the HUD for the Lelutka Lilly head.

Trim that tree

The tree’s up, decorations are now underway ^^ Well not really, this year with my kitten Mazikeen I opted not to have any ornaments up on my tree. This will prevent my cursing her existence when she knocks it down and things break. I would rather have a tree with just garland than broken glass in tiny toes.

LeLUTKA has a super amazing tree up at their shop that needs their group and is FREE! I know, this beautiful tree is yours for just the tiny cost of your time to tp there and snag it. You can find it right by their big mesh logo on the floor, you really can’t miss it.

You can join the LeLutka by copying and pasting this in local chat: secondlife:///app/group/b4820d07-1543-6d56-e6bd-ab848903ee9b/about

FOXCITY. has a new group gift out for their VIP’s!! It’s Holiday-tastic for those cute pictures you want to send out for the holidays to your family! The group join fee is L$650 which is a crazy price for the group but when you join you get access to every single gift they’ve put out! So it will make up for the cost in a matter of moments.

When Witches Go Riding…

“When witches go riding,
and black cats are seen,
the moon laughs and whispers
’tis Halloween.” ~ Unknown

Happy Halloween Fab Free! I feel like October flew by, and I am a bit sad to see it go. Still, there’s Halloween night and plenty more in the coming days to celebrate.

Hallowalk

It’s Halloween!  I’m just having a little breather before tonight’s festivities.  You can’t ever spend too much time in the golden hued woods, if you ask me!

Ooh, Witchy Woman

It’s time for a new group gift from Petite Mort!  This cute cropped tee is absolutely awesome, and I’ll probably wear it forever.  It’s completely free when you join the Petite Mort group for free.  You’ll also find a new gift on the Oubliette side of the sim too, so do head over there and check out their gifts.  When you join the group, you also gain access to the lucky boards.  I got these sweet cropped jeans by waiting for my letter to come up, and I think they match the top rather perfectly!

Sizes

• Freya
• Hourglass
• Isis
• Maitreya

• Venus
• XXS – L With an Alpha Layer (jeans only)

90’s Queen

My 90’s teenage self is squealing with glee right now.  Back in 1994, I would have given anything for an outfit just like this one.  But as if I’d be allowed out of the house looking anything like this.  That’s ok, I’m living out my fashion dreams now, and loving every minute of it.

Drama Llama

The Horror Movies Hunt is in full swing, and with it come loads of fun 1L hunt prizes.  I stopped by The Bold Llama T-Shirt Co. and hunted for the little stabby knife symbol.  I found it without too much hassle, and got this cute eyeball lollipop tank top.  It’s bizarre and yet also appealing!  Not bad for 1L!  The Horror Movies Hunt is running until October 31st!

Your hint is:  I’m no dummy – I can feel that knife in my back!

Sizes

• Freya
• Isis
• Venus
• Ebody

• Ocacin

Charmed, I’m Sure

The cute necklace I’m wearing is a completely free item I picked up at Broken Princess.  Every jewelry item in their store is completely free, and this whimsical item really called to me.  You’ll find lots of freebies at this location, even in the other stalls.  (You may be familiar with UpCycled and FreeBees…this is another designer located beside them!).  You’re going to find loads to love here, and this necklace was on the top of my list!  No need to join a group, it’s all free!

Time to crank some Smashing Pumpkins and crack a can of Jolt Cola!

Dark but Whimsical

I love a good costume.  What I like even more is to mix elements of costume in with every day clothing.  You know, a cat ear here, a tutu there… The whimsical never fails to turn a regular day into something a bit more special.  Today I’m mixing up a bunch of dark elements together to make an outfit that just makes one smile.

More Trick or Treating

I told you yesterday that there were free gifts to be had over at Trick or Treat Lane.  I couldn’t resist showing you two more finds I picked up there.  You’ll remember that you don’t need to join a group to get these gifts, but some of the stalls will have you do a bit of searching for your prize.  If you see a little ghost outside, he’s hidden your gift inside.  I’m showing you Alaskametro’s fun tights that come with classic system layers as well as an Omega applier.  The shirt is the second gift, from JR Wolf, which I had to immediately put on.  It comes sized for Alice, Tonic Curvy, Tonic Fine, Freya, Hourglass, Isis, Maitreya, Maitreya Petite, Legacy, Physique and Venus… and will have you hallo-ready lickety split!

You’ve got until November 1st to pick up the goodies from Trick or Treat Lane!

This is Halloween

This is Halloween, everybody make a scene, and here we can see that I’m sitting around my tarot cards seeing that a ton of great deals and gifts are in your future! There is something magical about readings around Halloween, even better if you are in Salem, Mass. and have the ability to walk where the witches did so long ago…

Addams is at the Halloween Shop & Hop Event and they’re giving out L$500 in-store credit that you can use to snag this Limited Edition Pleated Skirt & Sweater (L$199) that would make it free! I have to admit this Exclusive was a great purchase and I had enough credits to get another outfit too, which makes this a double goodie treat from Addams.
What will you get with your credit?!

Both the Sweater and the Skirt each have a hud to change the colors/patterns options along with a bonus option for the panties for some crazy cute Halloween sayings for the front & the back.

Outfit Fits:

• Freya

Women seem wicked

Faces come out of the rain

When you’re alone, can you hear the wind howling through the dead branches on that old tree swaying in the backyard? Can you hear the hiss of the little black cats circling your door looking for an unlucky place to lay their heads for the night? Can you hear the cackles of the silhouettes that cross the full moon riding their broomsticks? Do you hear something tapping, gently rapping on your chamber door, or is it silenced by the faces that come out of the rain evermore?

 

Apple Blossom has a free gift out at the Halloween Shop & Hop event and its spooktastic! It comes with a hud so this 1 piece top and bottom because 3 different outfits! The Ciel Halloween Edition color options come in (pictured above) Spiderwebs/bats, Colorful Skulls, and Ghosts.
