Get What You Need

It’s time for a mid-afternoon treat, I think.  I wouldn’t normally recommend eating hazelnut spread directly from the jar, but sometimes… a girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do in order to not go completely bonkers during a global pandemic.  Or you know, on any given Thursday!

Feel the Love

There’s another new group gift over at Love right now, and it’s a collab with Lust this time!  Yeah, yeah…Love and Lust, giggle it out.  Anywhos, this cropped top and panties set has loads of different options in the HUD, including lots of fun words you can have emblazoned upon your chest.  I went with “Alien” because I can’t count how many times I’ve been called Alien when fingers are typing quickly.  I take it as a compliment, usually.  The Love group is currently free to join, but not for too much longer, so do head over to pick this up as soon as you can!

Buyer’s Remorse Need Not Apply

Shopping never fails to get me into a better mood than I was.  I’m sure buyer’s remorse is a thing that plagues the masses after spending a bit of dough, but in the immortal words of Cher and Dionne from Clueless:

“Dude, what’s the matter? Are you suffering from buyer’s remorse or something?”
“Oh God no, nothing like that!”

And when the shopping’s free – no remorse required!

Beautiful, Dirty, Rich

There’s a new group gift at BDR!  That’s Beautiful, Dirty, Rich if you’re feeling proper.  I luuuurve when they come out with new free stuff, because it’s always awesome.  This top and shorts come with a huge pile of different colour and texture options in the HUD so that you can go from dark and moody (like me) to flowery and spring-like!  Join the BDR group for free, and this is alllll yours!

Smart Picks

Some groups in SL are good to get when they are free and keep because they always have great gifts! The first on the list is completely one of those that I was lucky enough to snag months ago while it was free and I haven’t been disappointed yet!

Candy Kitten has a free L$300 Gift Card for group members which made me jump for joy when I saw it because I knew exactly what I’ve been window shopping for in the store. So lady luck was on my side, I walked right over to the Janet Dress (L$190) & Sweater Vendor (L$160) and in the end, both items were only L$50 out of pocket!

MINIMAL has released their March Group Gift free to their members and it features a rather exquisite large door with lovely ivy vines draping around the cold stone. The colors, details, and texturing of each piece in this gift are by far the best I’ve seen. This shop never fails to put out amazing gifts for its members.

A Froot Loop in a World of Cheerios

The reams of writing that has taken place over the years about the importance of the little black dress is longer than I care to imagine.   Any nattering I can do about the importance of one is only sure to muddy the waters of deep thinking about how one must needs have a LBD for any occasion.  Instead, perhaps I’ll discuss how much I love Froot Loops.  And then, I’ll wonder what human sat down to think it would be cool to write the word “froot” instead of “fruit”.  These are the things that keep me up at night!

Lucky Girl

There are two new lucky board prizes over at Luas!  You may have guessed by now that this little black dress is one of the two prizes that are currently available, the other being a red dress.  The letter A came up pretty quick for me this time, so I suggest you grab a bunch of friends and head over (preferably 26 of them, all with a different letter of the alphabet starting their name? eheheh) and then wait til your letter comes up.  The Luas group is 50L to join, but there is a huge wall of monthly group gifts and the lucky letter boards get changed up pretty often.  Totally worth it!

• Hourglass

Mmm, Froot Loops.

With a Little Help from my Friends

Lend me your ears

And I’ll sing you a song

And I’ll try not to sing
Outta key

Oh I get by with a little help from my friends

Real note here, can you believe that Across the Universe turns 18 this year?! I can remember clear as day the first time I watched it and fell in love with the entire story based around songs. I mean… I live by music and references to music, but this movie surpasses my writing/dreaming ability. So in honor of it turning into an “adult”, I am rewatching it this weekend to spark my joy for the Beatles.

Do you have plans? I am going to sit around on Sunday and do nothing at all. It’s going to be my Valentine to MYSELF! Maybe paint my nails with some bright color.. who knows… Most likely I’ll be watching movies with my kids all day goofing off like normal on the weekend.

Pink Cream Pie has a new free group gift out for you lovely fans and this one is a Vodka-lishious dress that fits my Maitreya shape perfectly. I’ve worn it for a few days (shhh don’t judge me) and I have to say it is hands down one of the best clothing gifts I’ve gotten for awhile now. I adore everything about this and it even comes with a panty on/off option.

MINIMAL – February Group Gift 2021. (Group gift details HERE)

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.
