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.

Dress colors included:

• Red and Black (shown)

Romancing Wertina

Oh Hello! I’ve missed you Fab Free! After a much needed vacation, I’m back and happy to be here. Today I picked up the Fifty Linden Friday offer from Clawtooth and had the opportunity to pick up a few items at Wertina before they close their doors forever. Saving the closing sale for last, this whispy hairstyle from Clawtooth is a FLF must have! The hairstyle comes with an Essentials pack with a wide range of natural hair colors. It also includes a separate color change hud for the flower headband. You can get your copy of this lovely hairstyle for just 50 lindens today only, at Clawtooth.

It’s always a little bittersweet when a shop leaves Second Life. I just yesterday found out that Wertina will be closing soon. Unfortunately I do not know when the actual closing date is. In the  mean time however, everything at the shop is marked down considerably. I did a bit of shopping yesterday evening and most of what I saw was priced between 10 and 35 lindens. I picked up a small handful of items, including this sweet floral nightgown. This little mesh dress is just 5 lindens and comes in standard mesh sizes. There are a few colors to pick from as well. At Wertina you’ll find women’s fashion with everything from jackets and shoes to dresses. Needless to say, you won’t want to miss out on the opportunity to grab some great bargains.

Here are the Details, Enjoy!

Hair w/Headband – Clawtooth: Winter Romance Essentials Pack – 50L for Fifty Linden Friday Only

Head – CATWA HEAD Lilo Bento

Head Applier/Skin – Essences – Lark [Catwa Catya Bento Applier / Omega] – Currently Available @Kustom 9

Besom-e kind of Hipster

Hello Fab Free’rs! I hope you’ve all had a wonderful weekend. I’ll tell you how I’ve spent my Sunday, shopping! The Hipster Fair is happening and it ends March 3rd. Most of the designers have set out an inexpensive gift for the event. While you shop, look for the pink and green mustaches at each booth. The pink gifts are women’s only, and the green gifts are male or unisex gifts. Each designer set the cost of their gift, in my experience most gifts were just 1 linden, while some were FREE, and others were as much as 5 lindens. I probably picked up at least 20 gifts! There were so many good items that I’ll be doing a second post with several more Hipster Fair freebies and cheapies. That said I also want to let you know about a special sales event at Besom.

Now, the most urgent aspect of the sale at Besom is that today is the last day! I wish I had caught wind of the sale sooner. Through the end of the day today (I assume, the sale is a “weekend” sale) all individual hair packs at Besom are marked 50 lindens. The purpose of the sale is to help raise funds for the medical bills of an adorable cat named Spirit. I’m not often one to promote causes, because I’m partly a cynical skeptic, but if ever there was a reason to feed my love of hair, the life of a kitty is just the one. Either way, you can’t beat 50 lindens for the quality hairstyles at Besom. The fact that the purchase will likely be helping a beloved pet is just the icing on the cake!

Normally I would go into a little bit of detail about each of the items in the post, however since there are several items in this post and a time sensitivity, I’ll just give you the basics.  Thanks in advance for understanding.  ❤

Fab Free Designer Friday – 02/03/2017 – ZOZ

Well Hello again and Happy Friday Fab Free’rs! This week I’m happy to share with you a little about ZOZ. I’ve always liked that store name, ZOZ. I think it sounds like something mysterious and powerful. For those who are new to Second Life or simply haven’t encountered ZOZ before, it is one of Second Life’s top shops for your manicure and pedicure needs. ZOZ has been part of Second Life for as long as I can recall, which says saying a lot. I’ve been around forever! At the ZOZ main location you’ll find room after room of gorgeous nail appliers for just about every mesh hand out there. ZOZ also makes a set of nails. The ZOZ nails are fun in that they are much longer and shapelier than the nails you can achieve wearing mesh hands only. One of the unique things about shopping at ZOZ is you can purchase individual applier sets, rather than buying big pack of multiple appliers. Most (if not all) of the available appliers will work for both hands and feet.

At the ZOZ landing point, you’ll be instantly aware of the carefully cultivated atmosphere. In one word, ZOZ is posh! You’ll also find two awesome deals waiting right at the entrance. To the left you’ll find the most recent Saturday Sale offer, which is still available and will be for several days. This beautiful rose nail polish design is priced at just 75 lindens per applier type. Directly to the right you’ll find the most recent 60L Secret offer from ZOZ. Equally pretty, this nail polish set is just 60 lindens per applier type. Make sure you purchase the correct applier for your mesh hands or for you ZOZ nails. Also at the entrance, you’ll see a big pink sign with hearts. This sign is a big deal in that it announces the major sale going on at ZOZ. From now until February 14th the entire store is 50% off. This is huge! If you’re a long time fan of ZOZ like I am, or you’re new and want to try a few things out, this sale is one you won’t want to miss out on.

Finally, at the back of the main room just behind the information desk, you’ll find information about current events and store affiliations. To the left are event posters with information and group joiners. You’ll also find the exclusive Fabulously Free in SL group gift from ZOZ. This lovely gift has been blogged several times on the Fab Free blog, but was originally shown by Kathryn in her post here. To get this generous FREE gift you’ll of course need to wear your Fab Free group tag. Want to know what’s available at the Events before you teleport over? ZOZ has you covered there, to the right of the “Events” section, you’ll find “Event Items” where there’s a full display of the nail appliers available at each event. You can also get a landmark to each event by clicking the display photo. Needless to say if you have been neglecting your nails or if you’re nail applier addict, ZOZ is the store for you.

Fab Free Designer Friday 12/08/2016 – #bubbles

Happy Friday Fab Free! For this weeks edition of Fab Free Designer Friday, I’m excited to share with you #bubbles.

At #bubbles you’ll find mostly mesh ladies clothing in trendy styles, that are sometimes cheeky, but always stylish.
