Watching the Waves Roll In

Hello there, Fabulous Readers!  Rip and I are just popping in with a quick post to share a time-sensitive hunt gift with you.  Gavin has shown you a couple of the Men Only Hunt Prizes in his posts {HERE} and {HERE}.  My top today is another one of the free goodies you can scoop up as you follow the trail of this hunt…. but don’t delay because the MOH ends at 8am on August 18th.

Casual Comfort

The coral colored button down Vivien shirt from A&D Clothing oozes casual comfort with its untucked style and last button unfastened.  I really like the detail in the white stripes and the pushed up sleeves.  In case you are aiming for a more refined look, a HUD is included in the package that allows you to select a tucked version, however, it didn’t work with the particular jeans I pulled on before leaving the house.  I was in a free spirited mood, so it was all good.  The box includes versions for popular mesh bodies as well as one for classic avatars, so it will fit a variety of SL residents.  Best of all, it’s free!  All you need to invest is a bit of time searching around, and honestly, it wasn’t really that hard to find the black mustache hunt icon hidden in the shop.

Versions Included:

• Classics (one size – includes alpha layer)
• Adam
• Geralt
• Gianni
• Jake
• Slink
• TMP

Until next time, happy hunting!

It’s Just So Cute!

Hello Fabulouses!  Just a quick post from me to share a casual “take it easy” day outfit.  And boy, after the past day in RL, I sure need it!  I had recently purchased a new car after driving the same one for 12 years.  I have had it for 2 weeks, and someone hit it in the parking lot, leaving quite a bit of damage, and no note to claim responsibility.  What a bummer!  At least I could escape to this spectacular island in SL, and chill in my new jumpsuit.  The best part (since I now have to pay my insurance deductible – ouch!) is the outfit was completely free!

Another Dumpster Diving Find

In my last post, I shared a date night outfit with a coordinating men’s suit (it’s here if you missed it).  Stan and I picked them up as part of the Dumpster Diving Hunt that is running until August 31st.  Since we had such great luck at our first stop, Ripley and I decided to continue on down the trail.  At Fukin Cute, we quickly discovered the mini dumpster concealed in the shop and I excitedly teleported home to open the free package.  Nestled inside, the sporty Kardashi jumpsuit promised relaxation and comfort.  With its semi sheer tank style top, gathered waist, and long sleek pants, this little number will have you decked out in style.  The designer even included a HUD that allows you to alter the color of the eye catching stripes that run the entire length of the suit.  I opted for the purple combo, but you have 5 other choices if purple and pink is not your cup of tea.

Sizes and Mesh Body Compatibility:

• Mesh in XXS, XS, S, M, L (no alpha layer)
• Belleza Freya, Isis and Venus
• Maitreya
• Slink Hourglass and physique
• Tonic Curvy and Fine

Until my next post, happy hunting!

A Sprinkling of Gold Dust

Hello Fabulous Readers!  While checking out the Dumpster Diving Hunt with Ripley, I picked up a really cute mini dress perfect for a date night, and happened to notice there was a male prize in the shop as well.  So, I woke Stan up from his early evening nap, and led him over to Mishmash Fusion.  It’s hard to believe we found such classy clothes dumpster diving, isn’t it?

Hers

I am modeling the strappy Starseed Mini Dress in the color Star Dust.  This little number will hug your curves, but has a skirt with enough fullness to make moving around a snap.  There is a “v” shaped notch in the hemline which adds visual interest.  I really, really like the spattering of golden glitter on the outside edges of the frock!  In the back, the top of the dress sits just below your shoulder blades.  Best of all, items in the Dumpster Diving Hunt are completely free, so all it cost was a bit of time searching around.

Mesh Body Compatibility:

• eBody
• Freya
• Hourglass
• Isis
• Maitreya
• Physique
• Venus

His

Stan is sporting the coordinating Etienne Suit (also free from Mishmash Fusion).  It features a black jacket, a button down shirt complete with a black tie, creased trousers, and a stardust sprinkled vest, which complements my dress beautifully.  The outfit is an all-in-one, so you can’t wear the individual components separately, but I think Stan looks quite dashing!  Versions for classic avatars as well as popular mesh bodies are tucked inside the package, so there’s something for everyone in here.

Sizes and Mesh Body Compatibility:

• Classic Mesh in XS, S, M, L, XL (includes alpha layer)
• Adam
• Aesthetic
• Gianni
• Jake
• Slink
• TMP

We are off to see what else we can uncover in the Dumpster Diving Hunt.  Since it runs until August 31st, we still have plenty of time.  Until my next post, happy hunting!

Hangin Around

Hello there, Fabulous Readers!  As you can see, Ripley and I decided to keep spending the weekend at the beach.  It’s a good thing I had picked up the latest free gift for members of the FaShIoNable Group over at ALB Dream Fashion.  The best part is since the group is free to join, I added a sweet summery outfit to my wardrobe without spending a single Linden dollar!  After donning the bikini bottom and pretty cover up, I was all set for a day of strolling along the shore.

Ready for Fun in the Sun

With its tropical print scattered over a teal blue background, this outfit made me think immediately of palm trees and lazy days relaxing in the shade with a good book and a fruity Bahama Mama in hand.  The strapless cover up is knotted in the front and opens as it flows down to allow the cool ocean breeze to caress your skin.  A coordinating bikini bottom completes the look.  I like how the hemline is shorter in the front but drapes down to knee height in the back.   I enjoyed lounging around in this casual outfit so much that it’s making it hard to face Monday morning and the return to work!  Ripley is not helping as he is encouraging me to play hookey and spend “just one more day” at the beach…  I’ll simply have to explain how my salary pays for all those Ripley snacks Stan keeps bribing him with, and the pupster will be shoving me out the door in the morning.

Mesh Body Compatibility:

• Belleza Freya, Isis and Venus
• Fox
• Maitreya
• Slink Hourglass and Physique
• Werewolf

Until next time, happy shopping!

Lucky Enough

Ahh to be lucky enough to live near the beach……sounds like heaven to me.  Unfortunately there’s not a beach within many, many miles of where I live in RL, so thank goodness for SL!  Today Rip and I explored the Voodoo sim and found a cute strip of beach there perfect for some summer relaxation.  The buildings are colorful and include beachside bars, a coffee house with yummy looking pastries, and even a seafood stand where the pupster and I paused to snap a photo.

Casual Summer Cutie

In my last post here, I told you about a sweet outfit that I picked up over at Fatal Fashion.  Everything I’m wearing today, from head to toe is included in another free gift from the same shop, called Outfit 007.  I say from head to toe, but when I was walking in the sand, I did slip off my heels in my main picture, but I will include a second shot below so you can see what they look like.  I just love this raspberry colored cropped top!  Although you can’t see it from the angle in my photo, there is a lovely laced detail on the sides that is super adorable.  It features an asymmetrical hemline and realistic looking folds in the fabric.  Ideal for warm summer days, the worn denim mini shorts have an unbuttoned fly and slender pockets in the front for tucking in small essentials.  Also included, the chunky necklace and golden bracelet add the perfect finishing touches.  To scoop up this summertime staple, you need to be a member of the Fit Mesh Fanatics Group, but since it’s free to join, you can add a complete look to your wardrobe without spending a single Linden dollar.

Mesh Body Compatibility:

• Belleza Freya, Isis and Venus
• Maitreya
• Slink Hourglass and Physique
• Shoes for Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink

Here’s a look at the Johan heels which are also included in the gift box.  Enjoy!

Until my next post, happy shopping!

All Dolled Up For Date Night

Hello there, Fabulous Readers, and Happy Tuesday!  Ripley and I are popping in with a quick post to share a complete outfit that I picked up as a free group gift, just for being a member of The Third Life group.  The generous designer over at Fatal Fashion has put all the pieces you need including golden jewelry, a sizzling mini dress, and delicate heels into one gift box.  With just a quick stop at the shop, you’ll be ready for date night in a flash!

You’ve Got the Look

The Monna Dress features a back that dips down low so the starlight can caress your skin, and a neckline designed to flaunt your curves while keeping you covered in all the right places.  The texture on the dress is well done, and contains realistic folds and subtle highlights.  The hemline of this mini is quite high, so you might want to don a pair of panties or make strategic use of the alpha layer on your mesh body.  Slip on the strappy heels, the chunky Midna Gold necklace, and even some upper arm bracelets (not shown) for the perfect finishing touches (all are included), and all eyes will be on you.  Since the Third Life Group costs only 10L to join, this free group gift will have you all dolled up for a very budget friendly price.

Mesh Body Compatibility:

• Belleza Freya, Isis and Venus
• Maitreya
• Slink Hourglass and Physique
• Sandals for Belleza, Maitreya and Slink

Until next time, happy shopping!

On the Water

Hey There! Hi There! Hello Fab Free’rs! Sorry it has been a minute since I posted anything. My last intended post was doomed by technical issues. It doesn’t happen often, but it does happen. Still, it’s a shiny new day and I have some awesome 7 Seas Fishing prizes from Sn@tch to share with you. Pru’s entire look from head to toe is made up of fishing prizes you can fish for at Sn@tch. I’ll ad a copy of the advertisement for this cute look from Sn@tch below. It shows other available items not shown in my photo. If you’ve never been “fishing” before, as Love says “If you don’t have a 7 Seas Fishing Rod, they are a 100L one time purchase from the vendor at Sn@tch. Keep the rod, and use it for future prizes too! No bait is required.”

On this fishing excursion at Sn@tch Pru managed to score this shoulder length hairstyle that has some pretty soft romantic curls, the eyelet ruffled top, tropical print mini skirt, and nude flats. There are several versions of each of these items you can “catch” while fishing at Sn@tch. Also, like gachas, these items are transferable so you can trade them!

Skirt & Top Sizes Included: Maitreya Lara, Slink (Hourglass, Physique), Belleza (Isis, Freya, Venus), eBody, TMP, Standard Mesh, Tonic (Curvy, Fine) ** The skirts have an alpha layer as well, so they are suitable for Classic Avatars.

If I Had One Wish

Hello Fab Free! I don’t know about you, but I am so ready for the weekend. Maybe I’ve watched too many romantic comedies, or read too many cheesy love stories, but I’ve been daydreaming about a romantic summer getaway lately. I could really use some gorgeous scenery and a little romance in my life! This little dress (emphasis on little) is a free group gift at Simple. I will say I felt sexy wearing it. The fruit and basket of spirits is another free Fabulously Free in SL group gift, this time from Aphrodite Shop. I really can’t think of a better way to start of a romantic weekend then with a little bubbly and a sexy dress.

The Dress – I wasn’t exaggerating when I said this dress is short, you’ve been warned! I’d even consider wearing it with some shorts, it’d be cute! This flirty dress is a free group gift at Simple. At this time the Simple group is also free to join at this time. This gift comes in a Maitreya Lara fit only in the blue floral pattern shown.

The Basket & Fruit – I have Aphrodite Shop to thank for the free gift basket of drinks and goodies, along with the spread of fresh fruit. This decorative item is a free group gift for Fabulously Free in SL group members. Just wear your Fab Free group tag and click the gift vendor. The Fabulously Free in SL group is always always always free to join.

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!

Sky at Midnight

Hello Fabulous Readers!  While out on one of our meandering walks around the grid, Ripley and I popped into TRS Designs on a whim.  It didn’t take long for me to spot a gorgeous gown on the Midnight Madness board.  Since the target was just 20 people, I tapped the board, then crossed my fingers.

At the Stroke of Midnight…

Well, actually, it was quite a few hours after the clock struck twelve before I logged back in again.  Nevertheless, I was super happy to see the notification offering me the Trix Dress in Sky.  I quickly slipped into the frock and admired my new look.  It features a dusky blue bodice accented with decorative white stitching, and a long hemline that drapes from a high waist. This dress is ideal for a casual afternoon or a night on the town, depending on how you accessorize.  I just love the way the skirt is crafted with a wash of color in varying shades from a cream to an almost teal blue.  It’s just so pretty!  With only a narrow strap around your neckline, Trix leaves your back deliciously bare.  With sizes for classic as well as mesh bodies, this prize includes something for everyone.  Best of all, it’s completely free, and with the low target number, your chance of receiving the package is really high.

Sizes and Mesh Body Compatibility:

• Fit mesh in XS, S, M, L, XL
• Classic mesh in XS, S, M, L, XL (includes alpha layer)
• Belleza
• Maitreya
• Slink

I couldn’t resist including a peek at the back view of Trix.  I hope you like it!

Until next time, good luck and happy shopping!
