Live Fast,  Wear Cool Clothes

Hello and Happy New Year, FabFree. ‘Tis the Season for new things. Fresh ideas and new paths. And a perfect time to add to your “cool clothes”. Byrne is the very epitome of new and cool. So let’s start there.

Right now, you can pick up this very cool open shirt from Byrne for free when you wear your equally free Byrne Group tag. There is a matching look for the ladies as well. The “Chenille Tartan” comes in two variations: one with a teal collar and one with the red plaid. I did, however have trouble getting the teal version to work for ‘Jake’. Your mileage may vary.

The “Chenille Tartan” is the current group gift and you are surely aware that gifts can come and go quickly so don’t delay getting this one for the cool side of your wardrobe.

Find Balance

Find Balance

It’s all about balance in all things.  So when you lift a few weights, it’s always prudent to eat a few donuts.  I’m sure that’s what they mean by balance!

Crawling

The SLS Crypt Crawl has been extended until November 20th, so if you haven’t had the time to visit their decorated hunt area, then you really should!  There are loads of free prizes, including this cute outfit by Web Dew that inspired me to get down to pumping some iron (and eating some donuts).  It’s all free – all you have to do is look for the little books hidden around the sim.  You can find all the details HERE.

Sizes

  • Erika
  • Freya
  • Kupra
  • Kups
  • Legacy
  • Perky
  • Maitreya
  • Petite
  • Hourglass

Ok…this weight is far too heavy.  Time to put it down.  The donut stays though!

Letting Go Is Beautiful

Letting go is Beautiful

We’re all feeling it, aren’t we?  That little hint of crisp in the air in the morning?  It’s hard not to want a bit of Autumn in our lives right about now.  Where every tree is bright with a second Spring!

PCP

The latest group gift at Pink Cream Pie is giving me all the collegial Fall feels.  Like I’m about to walk through a quad drinking a latte and talking like one of the Gilmore Girls.  It’s super cute, right?  To get this dress for yourself, just join the Pink Cream Pie group for 314L, then click on the vendor upstairs in the VIP lounge.  There are loads of other gifts there too, plus don’t forget to pick up your monthly 100L in store credit at the main counter.

Since When?

Since 1975 has a new group gift as well!  Their group is free to join, and when you do, you gain access to these lovely swirling leaves you see about me, plus the one that I’m holding.  It’s all very evocative, wouldn’t you say?

Let’s hop in the leaves, shall we?

Hey ya Fab Fam! I probably don’t even need to say it but… it’s Tuesday!!  which means it’s time for 25L Tuesday. And both C&N Designs and Muneria are getting back to the old days of 25L Tuesday which meant RP stuff!

C&N Medieval Designs, a long time excellent source for RP clothes for both men and women has this amazing smexy “Pirate” outfit for the men that Gabe is lookin’ so  good in today. The out fit comes complete with the top, pants and boots! Plus the vest can be worn with or with the shirt.

My rakish set is also a 25L Tuesday find. This is the “Cusu” set from Muneria. You get the tunic top with the bracers and belt wrap plus the leather pants. The HUD for both items is huge with plenty of choices. I know my RP character will be wearing this one for our next role play date.

Sizes Included

  • Belleza – Freya, Isis, Venus
  • Maitreya

I said find it, find it, go on and take it if you love it

Good afternoon, Fab Readers. Julianna has been so busy building the “New Kids”, I’ve had to step in to help her find men’s wear on Grid. One of my old favorite designers has opened a new “shop” and I was thrilled to tell her and now the blog readers about it. (And to get Alistar some proper clothing.)

Gabriel has opened a new little shop next door to the main shop called “Free Bees”. And as you might guess all the items inside are 100% free. To everyone, no group needed. I had to stop from grabbing everything in one wild frenzy. But then I thought, “It’s free… why not?” 

Like this “Slim Pants Suit” in black and white. But this striking suit isn’t the only one. There are three black and white styles in the box. As well as the three designs on just the shirt and jacket and the three designs on a complete set… plus the complete set with both shorter and longer pants. Everything you need all for zero lindens.

Of course, Gabriel still has the large 50% off section and the 1L section in the main store. So you could literally fill your closet for a handful of lindens. And look smashing doing it.

Sizes Included

  • one size + full alpha

Good evening, Fab Readers.  Finding good quality men’s wear and accessories here on the Grid is often a trial and can be very frustrating. Honestly, I think if I have to see one more hoodie… Never mind, I digress. When the morass of “not affordable” or “mundane” men’s wear gets me down, I retreat to my stand by favorites. Places with quality work and generous groups. One such place is R&R Swag. They can always be counted on for excellent group gifts and other affordable options. Plus, the designers are rather charming and very friendly.

I found recently that the prizes on the Lucky Chairs in the main store have been updated and I was delighted to see that my initial had popped up as well. I didn’t hesitate to grab this full outfit ; The Blade Biker Outfit. The complete outfit includes the jacket, with and without the tee shirt, the jeans and the boots. All impeccably built and perfect for casual days or nights. The outfit is designer exclusively for the Signature Gianni but I found it looked just as smashing on my Belleza Jake. As Julianna would say, “Your mileage may vary.” Even if this look doesn’t suit you, R&R Swag has many other past group gifts available as well as other outfits loaded into the Lucky Chairs. The Group is free to join as well.

Hello and Happy Friday, FabFree. As I am sure you are aware, the weekend is upon us and I for one am quite glad to see it’s arrival. Not only does the weekend bring some well deserved rest and relaxation, it brings a slew of sales and events with it. And the men haven’t been excluded today.

For example, Finer Threads is participating in the Happy Weekend Sale and are offering this refreshing change from the morass of sweats and snapbacks. This is the “Asher” suit in black and it was a mere 60L as part of the sale. The set is all one piece however you as receive a HUD to change the color of the suit jacket and inner shirt.  I found a bit of mixing and matching fit me well today with shades of black and blue. The Asher comes in several other colors all for the same 60L price if the black doesn’t suit your taste. And since the sale is a “Weekend” offering, I imagine that Asher will go back to the rack for it’s regular price on Sunday evening. So make some haste if you want to pick it up for this special sale.

Sizes Included

  • Belleza Jake
  • Legacy
  • Signature Gianni

Hello, my FabFree Dears! As I said Monday, this month is all Christmas all the time! And now I’m dragging Gabriel into it. But dang, doesn’t he look good in that suit? Nothing like a handsome man in a handsome suit. (He’s rolling his eyes at me)   At any rate, Gabe and I stopped over at R&R Swag and found this gorgeous set of his and hers Group Gifts. Both gifts include shoes and the ladies stunning gown includes the complete jewelry set as well. Now, we’re both ready for the Holiday Parties to get rolling.

R&R Swag is one of those awesome designers you can always count on for loads of past group gifts, lucky chairs and both men’s and ladies current gifts. Plus, the group is free to join. And of course, the quality is excellent. What more could you ask for?  Now go grab these and get all spiffied up!

My very comfortable and warm new sweater is from Madcat Creations Boutique. This is the “Falling Leaves” sweater and it is indeed the color of the season’s leaves. Perfect for a night out or a casual stroll in the changing colors of Autumn. It can be yours for 5L and a little time spent hunting.

Alright so I’m gonna call this look a little bit Flash Dance, and a little bit Cats. haha I actually had a lot of fun dressing up and taking photos in this, especially since the outfit is completely free. I picked up the top, bottom, and adorable socks for free at Voluptas Virtualis. As soon as I put the outfit on I felt nostalgic for those iconic ’80s and ’90s dance movies. Maybe it’s time for a movie marathon? haha

This awesome gift from Voluptas Virtualis is free for everyone. The matching “Hadi” top and bottom come in female sizes only, however the fuzzy socks come sized for male avatars as well as female. Both gifts are packaged together. Just click the vendor near the landing point and the gift will be sent to you. The “Hadi” set has a color/texture change hud with some fun tiger stripe options and solid colors. You can also hide/show the trim or color it separately. The socks have a color/texture change hud with lots of options. Also, if kitty feet aren’t your thing, fear not, there are solid color choices as well as stripes. I have no idea how long this gift will be available, so don’t wait!

P.S. There are also several other freebies in the same spot at Voluptas Virtualis, no group needed!

Outfit Sizes Included: Maitreya Lara, Belleza Freya, Legacy Female
Sock Sizes Included: Maitreya Lara, Slink (Hourglass, Male), Belleza (Freya, Jake), Legacy (Female, Male)
