Hey there FabFree Readers! I told ya… You’ll be seeing a lot of SLB15 gifts on The FabFree Blog for the next little while because they are fantastic! I’m back today to share news about what Vision has to offer at the big Second Life 15th Birthday Shopping Experience.
Vision Wants You To Choose!
At the Vision display at SLB15, you’ll find that they are offering a variety of great clothing pieces priced at 50% off, and at the desk you can pick up a FREE 200L Gift Card just for visiting. I used mine right away on this beautiful dress called Penelope. It includes the dress and necklace in several mesh body sizes and comes with an ombre version as well. It’s regular price is 250L, but at half price it was only 125L, which means, I still have 75L to spare on my gift card! How sweet is that?! 😀
ps. If you’d rather shop at the Vision Mainstore instead of the laggy event, you can use your card there too!
Hello there, Fabulous Readers! I have quite a gift to share with you today – it’s a free Bento mesh head. Yup, you read that right – free. Akeruka Creations is offering the Leon Bento mesh head to members of the AK Heads, News & Support group as a gift. This head comes with all the bells and whistles: a shape for your body, mesh eyes, animations HUD, piercings, teeth, gestures, and even a body skin applier for Belleza, Signature and Slink mesh bodies. The body applier has ten skin tones, and makes it a snap to match up Leon with your pre-existing mesh body. The Leon shape is completely editable, so I was able to adjust the sliders to get the look I wanted. To pick up a copy for yourself, you do need to be a group member (joining costs 150L), but monthly gifts are offered, and even if you were just to get Leon alone, 150L for a Bento Mesh head is an amazing deal! I’m not sure how long this offer will be available, so I’d recommend teleporting over to Akeruka Creations soon if you are in the market for a new mesh head.
The Surfer’s Life
Well, I’m gonna grab my board and catch a few waves while the surf is strong. Good thing I have my new Surf’s Up Wetsuit in Sear from RIOT. I picked it up over at The Arcade for just 50L. The machine is packed with beachwear, swim trunks, wet t-shirts, six different surf boards, and some ice cream sandwiches to enjoy after a long day of shooting the curl. Ladies, there are wetsuits and shirts for you to win, too. Before you pay to play, you will need to select whether you would like Maitreya, Belleza Freya, Slink Hourglass, Belleza Jake, Signature Gianni, or Slink Male. I was wishing to score the wet t shirt, which would have been great for showing off my abs, but sigh……. Anyway, I’m off! Hopefully I won’t have too many wipe outs. Wish me luck!
Hello there, Fabulouses! I’m popping in with a quick post to share a budget friendly shirt that I picked up as a hunt item. When Ripley and I were shopping at the Trashed store, he kept tugging on his leash, and dragged me over to a tiny strawberry that had been concealed in the shop. It is the hunt object for The 4 Seasons Hunt, which runs through June 26th. We weren’t following the hunt trail, but I’m sure glad the pupster spied that berry! For just one Linden dollar, I picked up a terrific top. The Cascade shirt has a black and gray paisley print on the long sleeve undershirt with a solid black tee shirt over it. The pair needs to be worn as a duo, but I like the combination of the two, and will definitely wear this more often when the fall temperatures hit. The package includes versions for a variety of mesh bodies, but not for classic avatars.
Hello there, Fabulous Readers! The other day, I received a message from Sere Timeless, telling me about the Poet’s Heart store. I am so glad that I followed Sere’s advice and teleported to the shop, because I picked up this gorgeous Marisol outfit as a free group gift.
Romantic, Poetic Style
Featuring a multi-tiered maxi skirt with a generous hem, and a cropped top with loose sleeves, this outfit has a gypsy vibe that I just love. Its color scheme of blues and aquas brought back memories of the beach glass I collected on the sand as a young girl. While the top is constructed with a satiny, shimmery fabric, the skirt’s layers are decorated with a floral pattern that adds visual interest and texture. Although there is no version specifically made for mesh avatars, by adjusting the alpha layer on my Maitreya Lara body, I was able to achieve a perfect fit. To pick up a copy for yourself, simply head on over to the shop, switch to the Poet’s Heart group (it’s completely free to join) and click the vendor. While you’re there, you might want to scoop up the three other free gifts for group members as well.
Sizes Included:
XXS
XS
S
M
L
Alpha layer for skirt and top (parts can be worn separately)
Thank you so much, Sere, for letting me know about the Poet’s Heart shop! I know I will be stopping by there frequently for more lovely additions to my wardrobe. Until next time, happy shopping!

Hello there, Fabulous Readers. Come on down to Basil Bay, and join me for a beach party! The sun is shining, the sand is warm beneath my feet, and the inviting water is there to cool us off. I brought plenty of food, a cooler full of beverages, and of course, a container full of Ripley Snacks. (The pupster is hoping you’ll bring along some canine pals, too.) The more, the merrier! Now, that’s the way to spend a Saturday!
But First, a Bit of Shopping
Before you pack your sunscreen and towel, I have a couple of budget friendly finds to share with you that are perfect for a day at the beach. Since showing a bit of skin is part of the package, I decided to add some new body art that I picked up at the Jersey Shore for just 10L. The Troy Lite Tattoo covers both my arms with intricate designs. I really like the diamonds at the edge of my wrists. You can pick up a copy for yourself at Addicted to Ink’s stall over at the Jersey Shore. The package includes appliers for Belleza, Maitreya, Omega, Signature, and Slink, and is specially priced at the event for only 10L.
Looking for a Terrific Tank?
I wanted everyone to be able to see my new tats, so a tank top was the way to go for the day. Luckily, I discovered a specially priced one at Redangel Designs. Right now, the shop is offering the Arnold Tank at a reduced price specifically for members of the Redangel Designs group. Normally sold for 499 Linden dollars, for a limited amount of time, members can purchase this top for just 50 Linden dollars. The package includes fits for classic and mesh bodies, as well as a texture change HUD with 8 color options. That’s kind of like getting eight tops for just 50L. Count me in! Joining the group will set you back 25L, but that opens up six lucky chairs, a midnight madness board and a gift board which are exclusively set up for group members.
Sizes and Mesh Body Compatibility:
Mesh in XS, S, M, L, XL (includes alpha layer)
Adam
Aesthetic
David
Gianni
Jake
Slink
TMP
Take in All the Sights
Of course, ya gotta be able to enjoy the panoramic vistas of the beach, and what better way to do so than through a new pair of peepers? The other day, Kat shared a cute crop top in honor of Pride Month, but for me, I’m gonna show my support every day, ALL month long with my new Pride Eyes that I picked up as a free group gift over at the Madame Noir Store. With both mesh and applier versions for Catwa and Lelutka mesh heads, these eyes are quite versatile. Using the included HUD, you can select either large or small irises. To grab a copy for yourself, you need to be a member of the Madame Noir Store group, but it’s completely free to join. I don’t know how long these will be available, but if you are looking for some vibrant and colorful eyes to sport, I’d recommend a trip over to the Madame Noir Store.
So, what time can I plan for your arrival? I’ll be here all day, just taking in the rays, grilling some burgers, and looking forward to catching a wave or two. I hope you come on down!

Hello there Fabulouses! I love wide open meadows in Second Life… Call me crazy, but they make for perfect places to spin and spin in a little (preferably free!) dress. La Vie has just redone their sim, and there are plenty of beautiful beachy / meadowy spots to enjoy.

Hello there, Fabulous Readers, and happy Middle of the Week to you! I hope your week is going well. It’s so very hot where I am in RL – we are looking at the highest temperature yet so far this year, with a cautionary heat advisory. So, Ripley and I decided to escape to the shore in SL and cool down with the help of a salty sea breeze. Of course, I just had to wear the brand new dress that I picked up for free.
Stripes Go With Everything
I just love the combination of navy with white stripes! It is just such a classic look that never goes out of style. My strapless Melanie Blue Stripes mini from Faida is sure to become a summertime favorite. It’s designed exclusively for the Maitreya mesh body (no other sizes/styles included), and hugged my curves like a glove. I decided to pull on a short denim jacket to ward off the dampness in the air, but I could just have easily worn the dress solo. That way, my shoulders would have been free to soak up some sunshine. The best part of all – the dress was a free gift just for members of the Teleport Hub group, which has a teensy 10L join fee. It’s one of those groups that I joined long ago, and I’ve picked up so many gifts that the membership fee was well worth the investment.
I’m off for a stroll around the lovely La Vie sim with my best buddy, and will try to forget all about the RL heat wave. Until my next post, happy shopping!

Hello Fabulous Readers! I hope your work week is off to a fantastic start. I wanted to pop in with a quick post sharing a cute and colorful cropped top that I picked up for free. I hope you like it as much as I do.
A Rainbow of Colors
My sleeveless top features a high neckline and a hem that falls just above the midsection, which makes it just perfect for summer. The bold stripes of color are a bright and cheerful reminder that June is Pride Month, a time to promote acceptance of others. According to bustle.com, the month of June is a time to “envision a future where everyone is respected and accepted.” I’m happy to show my support for the community by wearing the Ami Crop Top Pride Flag Print shirt, which the generous designer is offering as a gift over at Stories & Co. The free package includes versions for classic as well as mesh avatars.
Sizes and Mesh Body Compatibility:
Classic mesh in XXS, XS, S, M (includes alpha layer)
Maitreya
Slink Hourglass and Physique
VTech
Ripley and I are off to do some housework. Well, actually, I think Ripley is planning to laze around and watch me vacuum up all of the dog hair he has scattered around, but at least I will have company while I do so ;). There is a reason why German Shepherds are sometimes referred to as “German Shedders.” Until next time, happy shopping!
