Break Out the Sweaters

Hi there, Fabulous Readers!  The other day in my post here, I shared a pretty floral dress that I picked up as a hunt prize over at The Free Dove.  While I was searching high and low for the hunt object, this cute sweater caught my eye.  I don’t know about where you are in the world, but the days around me are getting a bit on the chilly side, so I was happy to add a cozy item to my wardrobe (even if it is just in SL).

It’s Getting to Be Sweater Weather

I’ve been avoiding it as long as I could, but it is definitely time to start dressing for the season.  Baby Monkey has you covered if you are looking to expand your fall collection, and best of all, their gift is completely free for members of The Free Dove group (which is free to join).  The Striped Sweater will keep you toasty warm with its mock turtleneck, long sleeves, and generous length.  I love how it is not too bulky and still shows off your curves.  If blue is not your cup of tea, you can change the look with 7 other knitted textures using the included HUD.  Although I chose not to wear them for my picture, the folder also includes striped leggings, a suede mini, and Guilia boots, so you will have a complete outfit (including footwear) – all for a grand total of zero lindens!

Mesh Body Compatibility

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

Until my next post,

On the Hunt

Good evening, FabFree Readers. This is a good tie to be a ‘Man about The Grid’. There are plenty of hunts, Gachas and events going on right now to make one feel almost spoiled by choice.  In fact, the Men Only Hunt is so large this round that I’m still unpacking all of the gifts! While there are still quite a few items I personally don’t… appreciate… (Juli insists I be nice) I cast no judgment on the tastes of others. As Juli says, “You do you, boo.” Which is an eccentric way of saying this hunt has something for everyone. That said, my complete outfit including the new hair style is all 100% free and up for grabs on The Men Only Hunt.

First is the “Reed” cardigan and shirt set from Ascend. The thick comfortable sweater comes in the shown shades of blue but a HUD will give you six colors of shirts and ties to choose from. The shirt and tie themselves can be turned off if you prefer to wear just the cardigan. They, however are not wearable by themselves. 

Sizes Included

• Belleza Jake
• Legacy – Athletic, Legacy
• Siganature – Gianni

The jeans are from Cheerno and are also a hunt gift. The ‘S21 Jeans’ are waiting for you to find. They are well made and are a solid addition to my wardrobe. 

Sizes Included

• Aesthetic – Enzo
• Belleza Jake
• Legancy
• Signature Gianni

Last but not least is my new hair style from Volt Hair. This is a New-to-Me designer that I am happy to have ‘discovered’. Volt does both men’s and ladies hair and has an extensive collection of both. I found the hair to be very well designed and easy to wear. The hair is unrigged and comes with a resizer. Plus, you will receive the entire fatpack in this prize.

A quick note on the Hunt. While you are not required to get the HUD with all of the SLurls loaded, I did find it makes the hunt much easier. There isn’t a page with the hints or the SLurls available online. You will need to join the Hunt’s group but that is free as well.  The pick up for the HUD is here.

On the first day of Summer

Hello again my FabFree Darlings! I hope this Monday finds you happy and not in the least bit blue. Unless it’s blue sky and Summer breezes. Today is, in fact the first day of Summer! On such occasions I have to slip off to the woods or fields and just be a Fae in the wild. It’s an elf thing. 😉

But I found the perfect little wisp of a dress to dance in the woods. And it’s from one of my absolute favorite designers of all things fantasy. And… it’s free!

This is the “Ella” dress from Jangka and it’s the current free Group Gift. Jangka is such a great place to shop if you’re looking for Fantasy gear or things for Role Play. Most is of the fantasy genre but there is a growing CyberPunk section too. Plus, when you join the free Group, you can pick up a bunch of past gifts as well. Jangka regularly participates in sales and deals. Look for them in the 25L Tuesday group and the Wanderlust Weekend sales. 

Ella is a great example of Jangka’s quality designs. The dress, the sleeves and the armbands are all separate pieces so you can mix and match. The stunning blue I’m wearing is gift’s one color but the dress is available in the store for several others. 

Sizes Included

• Maitreya Exclusive

Three Free Bee(s)!

So gang, I’ve got not one, but TWO Fab Free Group Gifts for you today, plus a freebie from Ajuda Brazil.

But first a little about rl.

It is finally warm enough to sit on my patio, so of course the moment I got all set up with my laptop, some water and my notes, they show up to do the lawns.  (I forgot they do that on Wednesday, but they usually start much earlier!)  So not only is it noisy as all get out, but grass cuttings give me a migraine.  I do love the smell of freshly mowed grass…. but I digress.  on top of that, I have a chi who does not want to lay nicely on the blanket I set for him, he needs to be in my lap.  He’s not a tiny chi either.  He is big for a chi (tall I should say).

I am determined to spend some outdoor time today so here I sit, trying but failing to block the noise from my sensitive to noise brain, hoping the pollen won’t get to me, balancing the little man on my lap and bringing you guys goodies all at the same time.  This puts new meaning to the word multitasking!

Ok Freebie time

(omg I cant think!  aaaagggghhhhh!!!) (imagine multiple leaf blowers and lawn mowers going all at once… you get the picture.. )

Both freebies today are gifts for the FabFree Group, which of course is free to join.  Just make sure that the FabFree Group Tag is active and click to get your gifts!

The first being a full outfit from YOU by GeMyles.  This comes with both the cute dress I am wearing in the pic as well as the equally cute shoes.  They come with a HUD that offers a plethora of colors to choose from.

The dress fits:

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

The shoes fit:

• Belleza
• Maitreya
• Slink
• TMP

The second FabFree Giftie is the cute little purse, this comes courtesy of Glitterati, again, just join the Free FabFree Group and wear your tag and click!  Tada!  Cute little purple bag is yours!

Plus One More!

Lastly, but not leastly, my necklace is a freebie from Ajuda Brazil.  This comes courtesy of Venge.  Ajuda Brazil is well worth the visit if you aren’t familiar with it, there are (again) a plethora (Gosh I love that word!) of freebies to get got.

Now I shall wrap this up for today gang.  My head is spinning from the noise and I need to get recombobulated! (psst. Aline!)

Til next time!  Hope you are all getting some fresh spring air soon too!

A Holo Space

Now for something completely different…

Like Aline, I am loving this holographic trend that is happening.  I love sci fi and it always makes me feel a bit like I am in the future someplace.  A future with no covid, no disease or sickness, no wars, cultural acceptance… You get the picture.  I’m an idealist.  This is how my brain works.

Get the Look!

Now how to match that sci fi look with makeup?  It’s easy peasy when you visit the sl marketplace!  The lipstick is UA Lips Gift and it is free on marketplace!  It has all appliers so this works for everyone!  On my eyes I used MOCK makeup, bluey rainbow and that was only 40L on market!

My outer space backdrop in from marketplace (and it comes with a cool pose which I didn’t use here.) by Small.fry and that is free as well.

Everything you need to be a sexy space mamma (did I just say that??) is in the credits below.  Now go out and be fabulously spacey!

Old mac donald found a sale ee i ee i oh!

Well its me again gang, Your favorite blonde, psychotic, shopaholic, head in the clouds blogger!  I hope you sang along with me!

As Aline already knows (and she *still* lets me blog!  I tell ya that girl is a saint!) and now you all do too, I love to change the words to songs, I generally make them very silly.  But sometimes they just come out downright BAD!  But that’s the fun in it!

I know, I know, y’all are waiting to find out what goodies I found for you this morning!  So, thanks to the group chat (which is usually loaded with fun info and helpful peeps like yerselves!) I learned of a little part of Scandalize that I (since I’ve been living under a rock, apparently, which someone once told me  lol) is just chock full of freebies!  It’s called Scandals Frees and News.  The group is free to join and it is an entire room of clothes and complete outfits that are totally free!  Really, if they had this sort of stuff back in the dark ages when I was a newbie, well, let’s just say I would have been much better dressed!   You can get an entire wardrobe here!

The cute pants and belt I am wearing are one of the things I found there. They come in this solid color and the same color but with cute little polka dots.  I found so much though don’t be surprised if they pop up in another blog post.  These super cute pants fit:

• Freya
• Hourglass
• Isis
• Legacy
• Maitreya

OK chickadees, this girl is *starving*! So I’m gonna go find some lunch.  Happy shopping y’all!

Not All Who Wander are Lost

Hey gang!

Felt the need to just get away from it all today, found myself in an enchanted forest with ruins.  I have a story about ruins.  A friend’s aunt and uncle traveled to Rome and came back with photos, of course, while showing them to my friends parents, the Uncle complained that the buildings were all run down and falling apart.  The aunt replied, “Oh honey, they are *ruins!*  They’re ruined!”

So here I am in the forest with the ruined ruins.  Donning yet another free group gift hair from Fabia (@ Energy Weekend Group, Free to join!).  I told you there was a wall full!  Wanted to show you one more before I lose them all in my messy inventory!

So now, in all my chattering, I’ve wandered too far and must find my way back once again.  Hope you have all had a splendid weekend!

One Big Runway

Took the little man out for a stroll this morning and came upon a modeling agency!  Saw it was mostly male clients, but little man wanted me to inquire and so I did.  Unfortunately they only take on human male clients and my little man Chi was a no go.  😦  I assured him that doesn’t make him any less appealing as a canine model and that he is very handsome indeed! (You can get your very own handsome little man (or little lady!) at Jian at the Cheeky Chihuahuas Gacha, only 50L).  The key is below:

I, meanwhile, am here to also show you this cute group gift from Lamb (hair).  There are a bunch of group gifts over at Lamb, their group is free to join, so go grab some cute hair whydoncha?!

And so, like I told my little man, as long as you feel good in what you wear (or au naturel like my little man  lol) and you walk through life like it is one big runway, you are a model baby!

Until next time, happy Sunday!

Monday is my SUN day

Hey FabFree. This afternoon I am enjoying a typical north country Spring. I.E. It’s cold and rainy. Really coooold and rainy. Which of course, makes me think of the beach with it’s warm sands and gentle waves and soft breezes. That’s logical… right?! Oh well, it’s Juli logic! Plus, while I was at the Miix Event I found a super cute little free swim suit so maybe I had the beach on my mind already.

As Aline told you here, the Miix Event is full of free gifts right now. Like this awesome two piece suit from Impact. This is the “Mellisa Bikini” and it’s one of those free gifts. You get a HUD with ten colors for the shorts and fourteen colors for the top. There are so many cute patterns and colors and it all so marvelously mix and match… I had a hard time figuring out what to wear! Such a good problem to have, am I right?!

Sizes Included

• Belleza – Freya, Isis, Venus
• Classic Mesh – XXS – L
• Legacy
• Maitreya
• SLink – Hourglass, Physique

While I was wandering round picking up freebies and group gifts and all, I stopped in at Mina Hair and got a good surprise. This gorgeous hair style was up as a free gift for the Second Life Frees & Offers group. You can join the SLF&O group for free and pick this and tons of other gifts across the Grid. This style, “Alexa” comes with the “Essentials” color HUD giving you a nice range of natural colors from white to blonde to brunet to deep black.  I do love getting such great quality hair for my hair obsession. I don’t know how long this style will be offered for the SLF&O group or even how long it’s been up… but if you want to add it to your hair obsession hurry over and pick it up.
