Life’s a Party

So what if New Year’s Eve has passed?  I say you should wear your finery whenever the mood strikes.  For example, if you’re called to install a dishwasher that for some reason has decided to be the most complicated thing known to mankind (wire your own plug!), then I say that’s the perfect excuse to wear a feather boa.  Life is a party.  Dress like it!

Exaggerate, Moi?

So I may be exaggerating just a titch, but you know how it is in SL, dress as crazy as you like, and it will still be considered normal.  To that end, I have you nipping about the grid a bit today for your fancy clothing!  Here’s where I’ve been:

• Sass‘ January group gift is out!  A sexy dress in a pretty green hue.  To get it, join the group for 10L, and pay the vendor 1L which will then be returned to you.  It comes sized for Freya, Maitreya, and Hourglass, and even comes with it’s own shawl, which I substituted for the next gift…
• My gorgeous fur shawl is the latest and greatest from Cureless.  You can get it (and a bunch of other gifts) by joining their group for 99L!

Phew.  Did that all make sense?

I have a dishwasher to wrestle with, where are my diamonds?

In Between the Lines

You remember when you would read fashion magazines as a teen, and they always contained some form of quiz?  You know, like the type that told you what kind of guy was for you?  Well, I’d always do the ones that told you which style was yours, and annoyingly each time I would land somewhere in the middle of three categories.  Something like, one third rocker, one third boho and one third sporty.  I dunno if there was something wrong with my programming back then, or maybe I was catching on early to the fact that it’s really ok to switch it up!  Today, I’m feeling just a little rough and tough, though tomorrow I may show up in frills!  You just never know…

Syndicate Sunday Time!

Syndicate Sunday has rolled around again, and there are loads of great deals going on all over the grid.  Syndicate Sunday takes place during the week after the first Sunday of every month, and you’ll find loads of goodies priced at just 69 Lindens in some of your favourite stores!  I made my way over to Psycho Barbie and found this insanely awesome bomber jacket (I love the fact that it falls off the shoulders, and it happens to come with a fairly extensive HUD) for just 69 Lindens.  I also nipped by Astara and got these great celestial earrings for 69L as well.  There are lots of other goodies in participating stores, just check out the event’s website to figure out what you just can’t live without!

The Wildflower Ruins

Hello Fabulous Fab Free’rs! I have something a little different for you today. The gorgeous setting above is one of several 30 Linden Saturday sale items at Simply Shelby. Before I go on about all the cool features of this piece, I want to point out that this is last Saturday’s sale item. That means that it is only available for 30 lindens through the end of Friday. After Friday, there will be new sale items. This cool scene comes in a rez box for easy setup. Everything pictured is included. the rocks, the flowers, even the adorable deer.  Also, this scene by Simply Shelby has a few extra  items in the package. The optional add-ons include animated fish, swimming ducks, and a sunbeam for extra detail. Aptly named the Wildflower Ruins, this set also has several built in individual and couple’s poses. I don’t mind telling you I did test the poses, and they are all l quite nice. To get your copy of this fantastic set just head over to Simply Shelby and go to the building that says “Sales” and you’ll find all the current 30 Linden Saturday sale items. There are several items, so I have added an additional photo below. Happy Shopping Fab Free!

Don’t forget! These are last week’s 30 Linden Saturday sale items at Simply Shelby. They will change this Saturday!

Tweed

As Stan told you, Gabriel is having a huge clearance sale and an entire section of the store is all priced at 1Linden! You could get an entire wardrobe for the price of one piece of clothing. And from a premier Second Life designer!

Outdoors

After I picked up this stunning tweed jacket and bag, I headed out to my new favorite hiking spot, confident that I was the best dressed man on the SIM. ( Stop rolling your eyes, Juli ) The ‘Zip Up Tweed Jacket’ comes with the smart leather bag but you can wear each separately. Each color of the jacket is sold separately but at this price, you can easily scoop up all of them if you so desire. This amazing sale will certainly not last long so don’t delay.

Sizes Included

• XXS – XL Mesh

Fab Free Designer of the Week – 09/01/2018 – Dream Couture

Hello and Happy First day of September Fab Free’rs! This week’s Designer of the Week is Dream Couture. I’m sure you’re wondering why the photo with the pretty fairy grass and the whimsical tree, don’t worry I’ll get to that. First, Dream Couture is a ladies clothing store. The shop is small but has a nice range of items from casual tops to slightly formal dresses. I’d say the style was cute and feminine. The Dream Couture shop is set up in a way that it doesn’t really have a visible exterior. That said, there are two bay windows, each with this cute tree window display. The fun part is there is a pose stand in front of each of the windows. You could take a few cute selfies if you were so inclined!

Also, if you’ve never been to Dream Couture, now is the perfect time to check them out. They are having a Clearance Sale and all the items in the shop are marked down to 30 lindens. Yes, you read that right, 30 linden! I think I might have even seen a few items marked lower than 30 lindens, but don’t hold me to that! Also, it’s a great time to pick up Dream Couture’s exclusive Fabulously Free in SL group gift. You may recall this casual red dress from Nevi’s post “Field of Many Colors.” All you need to do is wear your Fab Free group tag and click the gift vendor. So take a little time out of the weekend, and head over to Dream Couture for the amazing sale and fabulous Fab Free gift.  I hope you all enjoy the rest of your weekend, happy shopping!

Fab Free Designer Friday – 07/27/2018 – Uncharted

Hi There Fab Free’rs! It’s Friday, well you know how I do. I should just be honest and say “It’s almost Saturday!” haha The point is I’m happy to be here and to have you here reading this week’s Designer Friday post. This week is all about one of the more recent additions to our Fab Free designer family, Uncharted. Let me tell you, if you’re in need of some summer attire, this is a good place to start your shopping. The best way I can think of to describe the style of ladies clothing at Uncharted is mostly casual warm weather clothing. I saw short shorts, cropped tops, cute little dresses, and the like.

Speaking of cropped tops, there is a current Uncharted store group gift crop top available. It requires you to join the free-to-join E\M Events group to get the gift. You’ll notice right away that Uncharted is a fairly small shop, and everything is clearly labeled. I always love it when things are easy to locate in any store, big or small. For more group gifts head to the back of the shop under the big “Sponsor Gifts” sign. Each of the groups under this sign has a gift specific to that group. This is where you can pick up the Uncharted Fabulously Free in SL group gift. Nevi showed of this swanky red dress in her post “Simply Red.” To get your copy of this free gift, wear your Fab Free group tag and click the Fab Free sign. Also, Uncharted is having a big sale. On the same wall as the Fab Free and other group gifts, there are quite a few items marked down to just 50 linden each. All these gifts, and a sale too, sounds like the perfect way to beef up your summer wardrobe! Happy Shopping!

Fab Free Designer of the Week – 07/14/2018 – De’Fient Unicorn

Hi there and happy weekend Fab Free’rs! I know, I missed getting this up late on Friday, sorry about that. This week’s designer post is all about De’Fient Unicorn. the unique name actually says a lot about what this fun little shop has to offer. De’Fient Unicorn has an eclectic mix of colorful female fashion, makeup, and accessories. Right as you walk in this brightly colored shop, you’ll see all the general information along with helpful items like a redelivery terminal. Once inside De’Fient Unicorn if you venture directly to the right you’ll see the current De”Fient Unicorn group gifts. The De’Fient Unicorn group is currently 1 linden to join and along with several group gifts, group members get store discounts when shopping while wearing their group tag. You may even recall one of the De’Fient Unicorn group gifts from Aline’s post “Cotton Candy Sunsets.” This gift is still available.

Speaking of group gifts, located across from the De’Fient Unicorn group gifts are a few additional gifts for other store associated groups. This is where you’ll find the exclusive Fabulously Free in SL group gift. Don’t forget your Fab Free group tag. Don’t have a Fab Free group tag yet? Get one! The Fab Free group is always free to join.

Once you’ve filled up on group gifts you’ll notice as you shop there are a couple of almost free makeup finds near the entrance, and there is a table stacked with discounted/sale items further inside the store. Most of these items appear to be 50 linden or less. Also, there is a vendor on the second floor with a hand-full of discounted items. Happy Shopping Fab Free!

How Far You’ve Come

Hey again Fab Free! Is it just me or has latex clothing in SL come a long way from the days of system layers?  I used to think back then how great it all looked, and yet, look how far we’ve come!  I got this super shiny number courtesy of Psycho Barbie, and also some group gift hair that I’m enjoying quite thoroughly.  Read on!

A Bit Psycho

I stood in the light and stared at this dress for quite a while when I first put it on.  I was mesmerized by the way the latex caught the light, as well as really enjoying the sparkle strips down the sides.  You can’t see it on my pic, but the back has some pretty daring lacing that kiiiinda made me blush a bit!  HA.  You can get your copy of this showstopper by swinging by Psycho Barbie and finding the display for Syndicate Sunday.  It’s a brand new event that has a whole bunch of designers offering discounted clothing at their store.  Every item in their sale costs 69L, so you can shine on in style without breaking the bank!  Syndicate Sunday runs until Tuesday, May 8th, so don’t delay!

Sizes

• Freya
• Isis
• Maitreya
• Hourglass
• Physique
• Tonic Curvy
• Tonic Fine
• Venus

Good Hair Day

Sintiklia have a new group gift out that I’m enjoying quite a lot.  It features a shoulder-length cut, three different styles of bangs, and a whole fatpack of colours.  You can grab it by joining the group for 250L – there are several other hairstyles out for you to pick up as well, and loads of lucky boards so you can increase your hair cache by a fair amount!  Yay!

Shine on, my friends!

Just Fabulous…

There are days when it would be *fabulous* to be anywhere but here. We all know how it goes. We want to pack up our bags and head somewhere else… maybe the beach or maybe the big city. I have a trip planned later in the summer that I know I’m really looking forward to myself! It will be *fabulous* to just get away from it all!

Speaking of Fabulous…

… isn’t this FabFree group gift from JellyRoll just fabulous? Yes! I mean the hoodie in my picture above. It’s the newest free Fabfree group gift from JellyRoll.

While you’re at JellyRoll, be sure to check out the other merchandise. Currently there is a 50% off sale running since the store just moved to it’s new location. The sale ends May 1st, so be sure to hurry. I snagged the Weekender Jeans in the picture for just 49L and the colorchange Betty Peeptoes for just 65L! You don’t want to miss out on the great prices in the store. Lots of fatpacks of clothes are well under 200L for tons of colors of items and many single items are under 100L.

Take a Chill Pill

Special Reminder!

In case you’ve forgotten, Wasabi Pills is having a 60 – 80% off hair sale on older hair styles. Love first told us the big news in December in her post She’s a Snowflake Sweetie. I wanted to remind you before the sale is over!

Once you get to the store, just take the teleport upstairs to a wide selection of both rigged and unrigged hair styles to choose from. I picked up the “Betty” hairstyle in the picture above in a pack of reds for just 50L. I could have picked up a full fatpack of colors for just 350L if I had wanted to! For a gorgeous style like this, you can’t even tell it’s an “older style”!

I’m not sure how much longer this sale will last. So don’t wait! Get to Wasabi Pills TODAY and shop to your heart’s content!

From hair… to dress.

I am loving the Womenstuff Hunt as you might have guessed, as I’ve already featured some of the gifts I’ve found in posts {here}, {here}, and {here}. Today I wanted to show off a pretty formal cocktail dress that I picked up for free while I was out with my usual hunting date. He picked this one up ahead of time, and alerted me to the fact that it was a beauty that I shouldn’t pass up! Just hunt down that little red t-shirt icon at S&B main-store!

We have a date for later where I plan to put this free dress from S&B to good use! Included with this dress is a color change hud and multiple sizes for your mesh body needs.
