Fab Free Designer Friday – 09/23/2016 – Hudson’s Clothing Co.

Happy Friday Fab Free’rs! Today is the first installment of Fab Free Designer Friday. In this weekly blog post we’ll showcase a specific Fab Free designer and take the time to tell you about that designer and all they have to offer. This week’s Fabulous designer is Hudson’s Clothing Company. Hudson’s has been part of Second Life since 2008 and is definitely a shop that has something for everyone. There is mesh and system layer clothing for both men and women, as well as jewelry, eyes, and furniture. On the main floor you will find a kiosk with hunt information, event information, and group gifts for various groups including the brand new Fab Free group gift previously shown here. There’s also a Hudson’s Clothing Company group gift to be had, so definitely take the time to visit the store.
Hudson’s is almost a one-stop-shop which makes it fun for browsing as well. There are currently 5 floors to peruse, however Hudson’s is gearing up for a bit of a makeover at the moment. In the wake of this store refresh, Hudson’s Clothing Co. is having a huge sale this weekend. All sales items are located upstairs and most of them range from $0 lindens to $99 lindens. These great deals won’t last, so get your shopping on Fab Free!

Weekend Sale at House of Darcy!

Hello There Fab Free’rs! I’m certain you’ve noticed what this post is about without reading a word. Piercings. This weekend only House of Darcy has lowered their VIP group join fee to just 50 lindens, and all individual items are marked down to 50 lindens each. House of Darcy is known for their detailed, intense piercing sets. Needless to say I was thrilled to hear about this sale and discounted entry into their VIP group.

I went through the shop wearing my House of Darcy group tag and picked up no less than 12 past and current FREE group gifts and exclusives. The VIP exclusive items that are separate from the VIP gifts are also FREE for this weekend only. Essentially that means I paid the one time fee of 50 lindens and was able to pick up 12 detailed piercing sets at no additional cost. The 5 above pictured piercing sets are just a sample. I do want to mention that some of these gifts are older, so don’t expect to see appliers. At least one set also includes classic tattoo layers to enhance the piercings. Each gift includes the full piercing set in several colors. I had to manually adjust the size and location of the individual parts to each piercing to fit my mesh face and body. Additionally the piercings that have two sections, such as chest and face, can be worn separately as well as together. Before I forget, many of the gifts are either unisex, or include a male and female version!
Lastly, after picking up all the awesome FREE VIP Gifts at House of Darcy, I couldn’t resist this henna style tattoo for just 50 lindens. This back piece does include an Omega applier as well as the classic system tatoo layer. I think this stylized crescent moon is just pretty enough to look good with a more feminine appearance, but masculine enough to be worn by someone more rugged. There’s roughly one day left for this amazing sale, so don’t hesitate to run over to House of Darcy and join their VIP group before the sale ends and their join fee goes back up on Monday.

Here are the details, Enjoy!

Fashion in the Woods, a Perfect Combination.

Hello weekend, I’m so glad you are here. I am also really glad all of you are here! Hi fabbies, are you as pleased that it is the weekend as I am? It’s been a long week, and what better way to take my mind off of it than having a little fashion show in the woods for you? All the best fashion is seen in the woods, I tell ya! *grins* That is the beauty of SL, no one bats an eye at wearing heels on what would be a soft, grassy path in the woods. So lets get right to it shall we.

Let me start off with this. RD Style is closing down. I know, it’s really sad, as happens with many an SL life, RL ends up having to come first. We as shoppers though, are going to benefit from this, as everything in store has been marked down, with outfits starting as low as L$25! Now, if you are familiar with RD Style, as you should be, since we here at FabFree have featured items from them many times, you already know that this is the place to go for complete outfits in one. While there is the odd separate pair of shoes, or dress, most every item is a complete outfit, including shoes. These range from super casual workout outfits, to fun day out shopping outfits, to downright sexy night out outfits. I picked out 3 that I really liked, and all of them are price reduced down to L$25. This sale is on until March 25th, and then everything will be gone, quite possibly for good.

Outfit # 1 -RD Style – Outfit Emma #3 – Mesh Sweater, and separate mesh skirt, both in the standard sizes. Mesh shoes for SLink high.

Outfit #2 -RD Style – Outfit Patricia (Brown) – Mesh top and mesh shorts, both pieces in the standard sizes. Mesh shoes for SLink high. Also comes with a bracelet and nail huds for SLink hands and feet.

Outfit #3 -RD Style – Outfit Alice #II – Mesh corset and mesh pants, both in the standard sizes. Mesh boots for SLink high, also in the standard sizes for the calves.

Have you been eyeing up my hair? Well if you have, you’ll be happy to hear that it is yours for free if you join the Hair SL group. Head on down to Analog Dog, where store owner Queue Marlowe has generously put out the fatpack of Isadora as a gift for this group. There is a poster for you to touch to be able to join the group, right beside the hair, and it is free to join. I’m not sure how long this giftie will be out there, so I would not wait to go grab it.

See, the week is already forgotten, and all is right with the SL world🙂 Hope your weekend is fabulous, and I will see you all again, real soon. Until then, TTFN *waves*

Ready For Spring

Hi again Fab Folks!  Just stopping in to share a couple of fantastic 10L finds I picked up at The Spring Freshness Event at The Wash🙂

I found these sweet butterfly printed cuffed denim jeans on the B&T Mesh Studio Display and paired it up with the “mostly” sheer White Blouse that I found on the ORQUIDEA display.   I did have to wear one size larger in the blouse than the jeans in order for the meshes not to conflict, but that was no problem.  I think I am ready for spring now!

A Dozen Eggs

Sometimes all you need is a day in the countryside with the fresh air, sunshine, and a good friend. Days like that can make all the difference in the world. Considering the time of year, nothing says outdoorsy springtime fun like an Easter egg hunt. Love spent little time with me, and these goofy geese to show of some of what we found on the Easter egg hunt at Petite Mort. There are 12 eggs hidden all around the Petite Mort grounds. Each egg costs 1 linden and contains part of an undeniably cute spring wardrobe. You’ll find everything from sunglasses to skirts, and all of it adorable. Wanna know exactly what you’re getting? No problem. I’ve included a copy of the Petite Mort Easter Egg Hunt Key below.
Here are the details, Happy Hunting!!

Lady in red

Happy Monday everyone! I’m back with some more goodies from both The Wash Cart Sale and the KittyCatS advent Calendar, plus I have news of a sale you don’t want to miss if you love makeup and nail appliers!

My pretty mesh dress, with the daringly low neckline, and matching wedge shoes, both called Love Hangover, are from the Entice cart at the Wash Sale. So, naturally, each of these pieces are only L$10! The dress is mesh, in the standard sizes, and the shoes are for SLink high feet. I love the little lace detailing around the neckline of the dress. You only have until Jan 6 for this round of the Cart Sale, so I wouldn’t suggest waiting too long.

So..I mentioned a sale! La Boheme is having a huge sale right now, all makeup and nail appliers, not including already discounted items or hunt prizes, are 60% off until Dec 31st. Naturally, I had to go pick up some for myself. You can never have too many, you know? With the 60% discount on makeup, they end up being L$30 a pack, and nail appliers, are only L$20. I really had a hard time choosing, but I think I picked some pretty good ones to show you. The makeups are tattoo layers only, and the nail appliers are for SLink, Omega and Maitreya.

Finally, see those pretty circular earrings in the picture above? They are the day 18 gift for the KittyCatS Advent, and are from Kunglers. What’s really nice about this free gift is that you also get a pair of gold earrings, which are not exactly the same as the silver ones I am wearing.

Phew, I must run now. Still so many things to do before Christmas, and not enough time to do it. I will be back though! Until next time, TTFN🙂

Wonderful Tonight

Hello and Happy Turkey Day Fab Free, for those who celebrate. I hope everyone has had a wonderful week so far. If you are celebrating Thanksgiving and you could use a little break from the family gathering, Zalea‘s Secret Sale is a great way to escape! This now not so secret sale is going on through November 29th at the Zalea main location. Throughout the store there are items marked “secret” that are just 10 lindens. The items include hair color packs, shoes, and Slink nail appliers. I picked up this edgy cute hairstyle called Piper 2 for just 10 lindens at the Zalea Secret Sale, it’s just one of many styles that are on sale. I also snagged these cute sling back pumps for just 10 lindens. The come in a variety of colors and are meant to be worn with Slink Mid feet. I think they would be great for casual outfits as well as formal. Lastly, this sweet floral manicure is also just 10 lindens at the Zalea Secret Sale. The manicure comes with several color options to match just about any outfit.

Luckily, one of the FREE Lucky Board items at Entice just happens to be perfect for the shoes, manicure, and even the sassy short hair! This black and purple dress is really pretty on, and has such a feminine look to it. I love the added detail of the belt with the ribbon. Purple is one of my favorite colors. This dress is very much worth the effort of the Lucky Board and will be available in the evening today (Nov. 26th) once the Entice Lucky Board items are switched. Keep an eye out for this one, there is no group required so the dress is completely FREE!

BOOM – Closing Sale

It’s with a note of sadness that I write this post. I found out yesterday that BOOM will be closing their doors, possibly as soon as tomorrow. I can still recall BOOM being one of the first stores I genuinely loved to shop at. For me, and I’m sure for many others, there is a lot of nostalgia around a brand like BOOM that has been part of Second Life for so long. According to the notice sent out by the designer, the store will remain open with all items at 75% off until the end of the month. I didn’t notice much anything (other than fat packs) that was priced at more than 75 lindens. So don’t wait, stop by BOOM and get some amazing bargains. This will be your last chance to own those items you’ve been eyeing but haven’t bought yet. If you’re new to BOOM, you’ll find everything from accessories to formal gowns, and a few select men’s items. I definitely picked up a few things for myself. Here’s a little of what I found.

Hair – Magika [03] Mint

Skin – Lumae – Adore – Darkling

Head – Lelutka – Aria

Sweater Dress – *BOOM* Oslo Baggy Sweater Dress Coal – 75L

Wings – *BOOM* Aranel’s Wings (v2) pitch – 57L

Bag – *BOOM* Long Haul Messenger Bag – But a Scratch – 69L

Body – Maitreya – Lara

I’m Gonna Be Foxy

The Cart Sale at The Wash is quickly coming to an end, the last day to snag these amazing deals is the 16th! Today I am excited to show you this adorable shredded tank, I love the little panda face. You’ll find this mesh top and several equally cute items for the ladies for just 10 lindens at the Foxy cart. Also, if you’re like me and enjoy fun glasses, the Foxy cart has these nerdy glasses for just 10 lindens as well. The glasses come with a texture change hud that includes a few different colorful options. The color and the style kinda reminds me of the 80s, which for me, only makes them that much better!

Next, the hair Pru has on is on Sale at Clawtooth. From now through the 18th of September Clawtooth has several styles marked down to just 75 lindens per color pack. This style is called “How could I resist?” and I’ve had the “Bewitching Reds” pack for a while, and took advantage of this awesome sale to pick up the “Captivating Brunettes” pack. The style is one of my personal favorites, I’m a sucker for a well-done asymmetrical style. The sale styles are in the back room of the Clawtooth main location. Just look for the red sale tags!

Here are the details, Enjoy!

Hair – Clawtooth: Could I Resist? (Captivating Brunettes Pack) – 75L *Until Sept. 18th
