Deja Vu & Gifts For You

Hey there Fabulouses! I’m just taking some time to myself after work tonight on my deck doing a little light reading, while it is still nice and sunny.  I am SO glad that the summer months are drawing near so that I can enjoy the outside once again.  Winter months are just awful here leaving in the dark and coming home in the dark!

So what’s my post all about today?

My attire today is put together with some really great group gift finds that I will tell you about below:

Deja Vu!

This hairstyle called Deja was previously released as a group gift in the TRUTH inworld group (300L to join), and was previously blogged by Kathryn [HERE], but I wanted to give it a re-mention because it has been re-released as a Truth group gift in the updated colours and with the stylist HUD!  Even if you have this gift from before when it came out, make sure you pick up the update in notices!

Siss Boom Has Me Tongue Tied

The wrapped top you see me wearing today is called Tongue Tied and is available as a free group gift to members of the Siss Boom inworld group.  It comes in black, gold and silver and is available in several sizes as listed below.  This group is 500L to join, but there is a load of gifts on the VIP wall to grab!

Sizes included:

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

Free Jeans!

One can never have too many pairs of jeans, and these ones in particular are worn and torn in all the rip places… The Mariya cuffed jeans are a free group gift at Sentinus for joining their FREE inworld group.  Sizes included are mesh XXS – L and an alpha layer is provided.

Get it through your skull

Hello hello FabFree!

Are you ready for the fall? I love the autumn season with everything it brings: crisp days, caramel apples and… Halloween! One of my most favorite holidays. I’m getting a jump on  the spooky this year at the Indian Summer Cart Sale at the Wash at Eluzion’s Cart. This is the ‘Shamira’ top and skirt and it’s only 10L on the Cart. I love the little pink skulls al over the top! Gets me right in the mood for Halloween. The top and skirt are one simple piece and has a good single alpha layer. The standard FitMesh sizes XS-XL as well as appliers for SLink, Maitreya and Belleza are all included.

I mentioned yesterday that – Sentinus –  is featuring a bunch of sales, gifts and a Hunt as well as a gift for the Second Life Frees and Offers group. This is the SLF&O gift : Samara. The flowy style comes in the one rich color and it’s free for wearing your SLF&O tag!

Morning Shopping at the Wash

Good Morning, FabFree!

I don’t know about you but it’s an “I need coffee” sort of morning here. I was up late, maybe too late but a little coffee and a little shopping? Now that’s the way to start the day.  I started out at the fantastic Indian Summer Cart Sale at the Wash and found this wonderful mini dress from Zanze. This is the Becca dress in cream I’m showing off. But it comes in several just-as-tasty colors and all for 10L each. The dress includes the standard Mesh sizes XS-L but it has no alpha layer. I found I actually didn’t need one. The dress fits perfectly! Just don’t forget your undies since you aren’t alphaed! 😉

Right next to the Zanze Cart is the always awesome Lindy Modern and Retro Shoes Cart. Lindy has put out a very nice loaded Cart this round with shoes for SLink feet and system feet. I picked the Yeva heels in nude to match up with my new dress.

Last but not least, is a new hair style to top things off. This is the lovely ‘Esra’ from Sentinus and it was one of the current free groups gifts.  As of right now, the Sentinus group is free to join! Plus there is a nice selection of group gifts available, a free SLF&Os gift AND a great Hunt/sale going on! So don’t delay!

A Christmas Ride

I love all the winter scenery around the grid right now. Everything looks pretty and sparkly covered with snow. It really is kind of magical, especially in a virtual setting. With so many places to explore, I donned some boots, and a warm cozy sweater and headed out for some fun in the winter sun.
For starters when picking my outfit, I had to have this FREE group gift sweater from Hudson’s. It’s a beautiful shade of red, with a frilly lace “undershirt” for some added detailing. The undershirt is not a separate piece, however there are optional add-ons for the sleeves and the hem of the shirt to add some extra frill. There is also a system layer, and an Omega applier for the undershirt strap detail that shows with the off-the-shoulder part of the sweater. Additionally, the sweater comes in standard mesh sizes. The Hudson’s group is FREE to join as well, so no reason to miss this great gift!

I also picked up these cute wellies from SinfulSky on the Marketplace for just 1 linden! The rubber boots come in 3 colors, all of which have a cute bow in the back. The boots do not require any feet and include an alpha layer if you’re not wearing a mesh body. They are also easily re-sized and positioned. At just 1 linden, you’ll want to add these to your closet for sure!

This pretty shoulder-length hairstyle is a FREE group gift from Sentinus. The style is called Eleanor, and she includes a color change hud with 16 color options. The Sentinus group is also FREE to join at this time, and there are other group gifts available as well. I think my favorite part of this hairstyle is the hairline, gotta love the little details!

There are so many advents going on right now, I know it’s hard to keep up. I know I’ve missed a few days at some of the stores. If you’re a sucker for a cute mani/pedi like I am, you’ll want to make sure you check out the advent gifts at Hello Dave. Each day there is a new gift with a new polish/polishes. The gifts are FREE and the group is FREE to join. Even better, you can pick up the gifts from previous days, so you don’t have to worry about missing one. I put on this red swirly sparkly polish from Day 3. The polishes are really pretty, and well worth the effort considering they are FREE, so make your way to Hello Dave and don’t forget to wear your Hello Dave group tag.

Rather than walk in a Winter Wonderland, why not go for a ride? I found this too cute for words bicycle prop from What Next on the Marketplace. This “Christmastime” bike is highly detailed and has 3 static poses for fun festive photos. The bike is an absolute steal at just 50 lindens on the Marketplace.

Here are the details, Enjoy!

A Mermaid for Tuesday

I must down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide
Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied;

John Masefield, Sea-Fever.

I miss the beach… I think in some other life I must have lived somewhere near the shore. When I saw this ‘Mer Camisk’ from For Fs Sake as part of the 25L Tuesday sale… I had to have it. Not only is it a delightful outfit, but it comes with a ton of items. You get the net camisk, the bikini top and bottoms, the rope belt, armbands and thigh band with it’s little net purse of mer-treasure, the seashells necklace, PLUS two skirts. All for 25L but only today.

As I was putting my Mer-look together, Sentinus sent a note card with the perfect Mer- hair to complete my look. This is ‘Eleanor’ and it’s one of two hairstyle Group Gifts right now. Eleanor comes with a HUD with sixteen colors ranging from this pretty Mermaidy green to more natural colors.

Shaman Seeress

Oh Welcome back Friday, you smexy beast, you! And welcome Halloween weekend!

I went Trick or Treating at the latest Fantasy Collective event and it was a blast. You just have to join the FREE update group then wander about and click all the pumpkins full of treats. There are just loads of great give – aways!  Along with the Treating pumpkins and the booths with some of the best designers in SL… there are Gachas. I saw this wonderful Norse inspired Gacha at Sweet Lies booth and I knew I had to have it.

Völva, is a Norse Shamanistic Seeress who is a recurring theme in Norse Mythology. Sweet Lies has brought the magic woman to life with this collection. The three Rare dress and corsets are one piece and come with a HUD to change the texture of the dress and the color of the corset. When you zoom way in you can see the quality of this build. The textures are simply lovely. The common bag and fur collar come in three colors each. Go ahead.. zoom into that fur and count the little hairs. Gorgeous build all the way around.

The Fantasy Collective runs until November 15th to Trick or Treat and shop the event. And here’s your Taxi now!

Rose Red

I’m sure you can all imagine how giddy I am that my favorite blog in SL isn’t closing it’s doors. And that has given me a nice little burst of energy to go out and find me some bargains!

First up is this sassy red number from Sentinus. This is the Jenna Red shirt and skirt and they are one of the new FREE Group Gifts up right now. The skirt and shirt are separates so of course, that makes them nice and versatile. I like the skirt’s almost ‘cheerleader’ look and who doesn’t like a smexy little cheerleader skirt?

Next is another pair of gorgeous eyes from Mayfly. These are ‘Tropical Sea’ and they are the FREE Group Gift. If you haven’t tried out Mayfly‘s  new HUD for the mesh eyes you are missing out. The HUD is super easy to use and you can really customize your eyes to be exactly right. You can turn on shadows, glow, position them … everything. Plus the eyes come with four steps of shades for the whites.

As with all Group Gifts, these are out as of now but could come down anytime. So if ya like ’em go grab ’em!

Garden Party

Hello again, FabFree Floks. I don’t know about where y’all are but our temperature is somewhere between OMG and WTF. Yeah, it’s hot. And the best thing on a hot day? A huge glass of ice cold sweet iced tea.  If you can’t get that then some Sweet Tea might be the next best thing.

This is the Summer Mini from Sweet Tea and it one of the group gifts set out for us. The group costs 50L to join but you’ll make that back right away with the eleven gifts available. This cool shorty sundress comes with a HUD with four really cute color/patterns. I picked this aqua blue because it just felt so summery. Plus, it went perfectly with the aqua and white platform sandals for SLink Flat feet from 2pm’s  Raki Ribbon Platforms gacha machine at Kustom9.  The gacha has ten commons in ice cream colors and two rares that are white soles with color HUDs for the straps.  Kustom9 runs until July 10 but don’t delay.. the date will creep up faster than you realize.

Stormborn
