He Loves To Hate

Friend or Foe?

My real life dog just loves to hate one particular cat on my block.  That darn cat was strutting around right outside the front window where he watched her, certainly teasing him on purpose but he thought she wanted to be friends.  Finally one day, someone had left the door open to bring some groceries in which made for the opportune moment for him to make his off-leash move.  He dashed out the door, scared the fur off the cat and chased her around the fence.

FOE!

Now… he just wanted to get to know each other, but this cat was not having it.  I ran out to bring him back, and heard “SWAT!  HISS” and then “YIPE YIPE YIPE!“.  He came running back home, unharmed but with his tail between his legs and a new perception on his feelings for her.  Even when I point the cat out now (who is still strutting her stuff at the window btw), he wants nothing to do with her!

Get on with it, Love!

Now, enough of my jibber jabber – let’s talk freebies!  I couldn’t help myself with the story, because as I sit here writing this blog entry… The cat is outside, and the dog – in the window.

The brown jersey knit dress you see me wearing in my photo today is a free group gift by COCO.  Compatible with Maitreya and Slink mesh bodies, this casual treat is even more cute from the back as it offers a cut out wrapped design.  I have included the vendor ad below so that you can see it.

COCO is always free to join, offering a ton of gifts in the VIP section, including the gift Serena recently showed [HERE].

A Stationary Drive

Happy Monday FabFree! I meant to get this blog post up yesterday, but I was just having too much fun watching the leaves fall on my Sunday drive.  Actually, I am still trying to figure out how to work this car.  I did mention the other day that some things are so much better in Second Life for me, but driving is not one of them!  I had more of a Sunday sit than a drive, and while I couldn’t feel the wind through my hair at least my hat didn’t fly off!

Bundled Up In Denim

What inspired this outdoor excursion yesterday was the denim jacket you see me wearing.  It is shown as a dress in the Scandalize ad, but I quite liked it with a pair of pants from my inventory and some fall boots!  The big chunky belt is probably my favourite feature, but the big wide sleeve cuffs are cool too.  This Kaily Denim design is available as a free group gift at Scandalize with your 100L group join!  There are several gifts on the wall to pick up making this fee well worth it, don’t worry!

Sizes Included:

• Maitreya Lara
• Slink Physique & Hourglass
• Belleza Freya, Isis & Venus

Fab Free – Designer Friday – 09/15/2017 – Heaven & Hell

Hello Hello Fab Free’rs! I’m always glad you’re here, especially on Friday (okay, almost Saturday)! I’m sure it goes without saying that this is indeed the Fab Free Designer Friday post for the week. Heaven & Hell is this week’s featured designer. Also you’ll be happy to know that Heaven & Hell has clothing for ladies as well as gentlemen. Along with clothing you’ll also find shoes at Heaven & Hell. The style could best be described as fun and flirty, leaning more toward casual clothing, but with some what I would call “date night” looks.

From the moment you enter the Heaven & Hell main shop, it’s obvious there is a lot to see. Just to the right of the circulation desk you’ll see boards mentioning associated groups and events. This is also where you can find the exclusive Fabulously Free in SL group gift. The gift is FREE to all Fab Free group members, just be sure to wear your tag. If you’re not already a Fab Free group member, there’s a joiner above the gift. The Fab Free group is and always will be FREE to join.

Once you’ve picked up your copy of the FREE Fab Free group gift previously announced by Love here, follow the trails on the floor toward the Heaven & Hell group gifts. The Heaven & Hell group is also FREE to join. You’ll find a vendor of FREE female Heaven & Hell group gifts to the left and a vendor of FREE male group gifts by Heaven & Hell to the right. Keep following the paths and you’ll come to a wall full of Lucky Letter boards, half of which require the Heaven & Hell group tag to participate, and half are open to everyone. There are male and female gifts in the Lucky Letter boards also. In the center of the Lucky Letter boards are a couple of Midnight Mania boards which also have a male and a female prize. Finally, you’ll also want to take note of the various “special offer” vendors positioned throughout the store. Happy shopping Fab Free! Enjoy all these awesome FREEbies!

Avi-Glam Lucky Board Offer

Hello Fabulouses! If you happen to have a bit of free time this week, make sure you stop in at Avi-Glam and check out their offerings!  A friend of mine teleported me to the shop recently when there was a letter L on the lucky board (thanks again Grace!) and I was fortunate enough to win this beautiful dress.

A Rotation of Dresses

You’ll need to join the free Avi-Glam inworld group to partake in the lucky board offers as they are group only, so clear a space!  There are a few boards with eyes and the Prestige Dress that appears to rotate in prints to win.  I am not sure how many different ones there are, but I love this one called Stylish.  It comes in XXS-L mesh and includes a couple of alpha layers should you require them.

Be sure you also swing your cam around the corner of the boards, because that free group tag activation will also score you a wall full of free group gifts.

Fab Free Designer Friday – 09/08/2017 – Eloise Baker

Hello hello Fab Free’rs! I am again excited to share with you this week’s edition of Fab Free Designer Friday. This post features a women’s clothing and accessories shop called Eloise Baker. I love small quaint shops. Eloise Baker is a small but very charming shop with the look and feel of a boutique clothing store. The shop is self described as “A unique shop with vintage clothing and accessories for women…” I personally could not describe the look and style of this brand better than than that. Most of the items I saw at Eloise Baker looked very feminine and elegant. Even the vintage inspired decor added to the boutique-like atmosphere.
As you enter the Eloise Baker shop, you’ll see a small fireplace with a large box in front. This pretty gift box is a FREEBIE at Eloise Baker. There’s no need to join a group for this one, just pay the box zero linden and the gift will be delivered to you. Above the fireplace is where you’ll see some of the usual shop information. As you look through the shop you’ll right away spot the colorful Fab Free group joiner posted above the current FREE Fabulously Free in SL group gift. This adorable floral print dress and the FREE to everyone gift dress has been shown on the blog by Astrid here.  As always the Fab Free group is FREE to join if you’re not already a member. Happy shopping Fab Free’rs, enjoy your weekend and this lovely shop!

The Damsel in Denim

Hello Fabulouses!  There is something about taking a long walk with a canine friend that just makes the stress melt away.  Although I don’t live in a rural area any more, and have to get my dose of country from SL, I still cherish walking with my faithful pal by my side.  I’m sure Ripley enjoys it just as much as I do since he is alone during the day with only the cats for company.

Perfect Attire for an Early Evening Stroll

My skinny jeans are the latest Fab Free group gift from Tiar.  With a snug, curve-hugging fit, realistic wrinkled texture near the knees, and rolled cuffs, these pants are just right for a casual outfit.  Although I love to dress up, I am most at home in faded, comfy denim, both in RL and in SL.  This free gift includes sizes for classic avatars, as well as mesh bodies.  To scoop this goody up for yourself, simply head on over to Tiar, then use the teleport board at the landing area to travel to the Midnight Mania area where the gifts section is located.

Sizes and Mesh Body Compatibility:

• Mesh in XS, S, M, L, XL
• Alpha Layer for classic avatars
• Belleza
• Maitreya
• Slink

Dotted With Stars

The adorable side-knotted crop top I am sporting today is part of a package offered by No Cabide on the Marketplace for only 49L.  The Alessandra set contains a pair of denim shorts (not worn), my summery top, and a texture change HUD for the shirt with 15 various options, including both solids and prints.  I opted for a medium blue sprinkled with golden stars, which I felt coordinated well with the hue of my jeans.

Sizes and Mesh Body Compatibility:

• Mesh Shorts and top in XXS, XS, S, M, L
• Alpha Layer for both
• Maitreya
• Slink Hourglass
• Slink Physique

Ripley is ready and raring to go for a game of fetch-the-stick, so we’re going to have a little exercise session before we head on home.  I bet the cats will appreciate a tired pup who’s ready to nap all day tomorrow.  Sometimes that boy can get a little too rambunctious… Until my next post, happy shopping!
