Good evening, Fab Readers. If you ever wonder what the bloggers here on ‘the Fab’ go through for you… wonder no more. I have braved the Valentines Day Shop & Hop for you. I may be seeing pink and my ears ringing with love songs for days. But there was men’s wear to be had… so I prevailed. 😉
I found a very unusual shirt as the free giftfor Reinvent and ended up rather liking it. This is the “Black Heart long sleeve” and yes… it’s sheer. Good thing I was at the gym earlier. The heart shape on the chest reads “Black Black Heart” and it may accurately describe how a lot of people feel about this holiday. The shirt is very well made and the details are spot on. Be sure to stick around and check out the Reinvent booth… there are some very nice things for sale.
Do people even wait by the phone anymore? Or is that anxious, often giddy anticipation felt when waiting for the phone to ring a thing of the past? I never thought I’d be someone who talked about how things used to be, and yet here I am. lol The July group gift at MINIMAL has me in a bit of a nostalgic mood I suppose.
The red phone booth I’m leaned against is MINIMAL’s free group gift for the month of July. It’s impeccably detailed, the door on the front even opens. It also comes in 3 colors/textures: red, black, and wood. I’ve added the vendor ad below so you can see it fully. The MINIMAL group is 250 linden to join, and there are quite a few past group gifts available along side this new one.
Speaking of gifts, did you know that a new round of FaMESHed recently started? I picked up this camo tied tee by Vinyl for free with the FaMESHed event group tag. This cute top comes in the camo pattern shown with several sizes. The FaMESHed group is free to join, and there are a hand-full of gifts to be had.
To go with the top from Vinyl I added these cool hoops from Belle Epoque. They are the free Fabulously Free in SL group gift at Belle Epoque. These stylized eye earrings come with a hud that allows you to pick from 4 different metallic color options. The Fab Free group is always free to join. The gifts for the Fab Free group often change however, so don’t wait! Also Sunday July 5th is the last day of Belle Epoque’s store-wide 50% off sale. Happy shopping Fab Free!

Hello Fab Free, happy Monday. I hope everyone had a great weekend. I have been aching for some sunshine and adventure. A few days enjoying the sights and sounds of a coastal town or a lakeside retreat sound heavenly. So I think that’s just what I’ll do! Time to pack up the doggos, throw on something casual and cute, and hit the road.
For this post I picked up a few essentials for my adventure. The scooter complete with the picnic basket full of adorable puppies by 777, as well as my floral bikini and shorts. They are both from Safira. Keep reading and I’ll tell you how to get all three without breaking the bank. Credits will be at the end like always.
777
This scooter is so detailed, and it is ridable! It comes with a camera hud, and there are tons of options in the scooter’s touch menu. The best part in my opinion? You can have a passenger! That’s right, you don’t have to cruise alone if you don’t want to. There are so many choices for customizing how you ride, as well as fun features like a horn and lights. I could spend this entire post talking about them. I won’t, instead I’ll let you discover them for yourself. This scooter by 777 is just 10 linden on the Marketplace.
Safira
Safira has so many group gifts it’s almost difficult to keep up with! Not a bad problem to have if you ask me. Their most recent group gift happens to be these summery floral shorts. The shorts come in several sizes and have a texture change hud with 3 equally pretty floral choices, as well as options for the metal bits. Also at Saifra, my bikini top is the top half of an adorable tropical print bikini that is one of the many Safira Lucky Board prizes. The Safira group has a one time join fee of 50 linden.
Are you feeling lucky today Fabulouses? I hope so because at Safira there is a whole wall full of lucky boards with amazing prizes in them! You are required to be a part of their inworld group to participate, however it’s 50L to join and with that, you’ll gain access to all the lucky boards and the group gifts upstairs!
Camo Queen
I’ll admit, camouflage is not a usual print in my fashion rotation, but check out these pants! I made an exception for these :). You can wear them with or without the belt, which is kinda handy for wearing with longer shirts, but I do love the look of the belt on so I opted for a cropped top to go with it. It comes in several mesh body fits as listed below.
Sizes Included:
Maitreya Lara
Slink Hourglass
Belleza Freya & Isis

Hey there Fabulouses! The other day I mentioned that I had been doing some lucky board stalking and in this blog post I’ll be telling you about another great store that has a few boards to try your luck on!
A Lucky Vision
At Vision there are three lucky boards loaded with a few different prizes. These boards are set to the Vision inworld group, however it’s currently free to join so that makes the lucky board prizes totally FREE! One of the prizes is the Misty Set in Rose as shown in my photo. It’s a cute little bikini set with a bow on the back and a mesh skirt. This comes in several mesh body sizes as listed below.
Sizes Included:
Maitreya Lara
Slink Physique & Hourglass
Belleza Isis, Freya & Venus
ps. A little birdy also told me that these prizes may be switched out soon, so stay in the group and keep your eyes on the boards!

Hello there Fabulouses! You’ll have to forgive my absence the last few days, as I have had a house full of company, but I am back now and will be playing catch up on all the FABULOUS FREE finds I have been missing out on showing you while I was away!
What’s free today?
Today I’m wearing Junbug’s fitted for Maitreya Dress in Olive that you can find at the May round of FaMESHed as a free group gift for the FaMESHed Anniversary celebration! As I mentioned in previous posts [HERE] and [HERE], the group is free to join too! This playful short dress features a super sweet white peter pan style collar and matching cuffed sleeves. It may even fit other bodies with the help of an alpha HUD.
Hey there Fabulouses! Previously on the blog, I had sent you to The Bearded Guy to slap a couple of Midnight Mania Boards for FREE backdrops, and Bonita Luminos was kind enough to contact me to let me know that the prizes have been switched out for new backdrops!! Once these boards are filled with 70 slaps, you’ll be sent the backdrops which are excellent for photography purposes! Time to revisit 🙂
Hey there Fabulous Readers! You’ll be seeing a whole lot of red in this post because almost all of what I am wearing today is FREE… and pretty fabulous too if I may add 😉
What the… Rowne’s group is free to join!

Kat showed you a few Rowne group gifts last year in her post [HERE], but now there are several new free group gift additions to the shelf and you might want to reconsider joining without the fee if you didn’t already!
