Cute N’ Nerdy

Bibliophile –
noun
A person who collects or has a great love of books.

Hello there Fab Free’rs! I was one of those kids that spent way too much time afraid of being called a nerd. I’d hide my love of books, fantasy, and anything that might label me as geeky, nerdy, or dorky. The funny thing is, all that hiding never gained me any popularity either. Now that I’ve fully embraced my nerdiness it’s pretty darn awesome if I do say so myself! Alongside my nerdy adoration of books I love fashion and can get especially geeky about a great bargain.

TRS Designs

For this look I picked up the free Stay at Home Club gift dress at TRS Designs. I have to say this dress is even cuter on than it is in photos. I really wish I’d picked this one up sooner. It has the loose fit of a t-shirt dress, with the added details of leather-like straps that come together in a Y shape in the back. I’m also loving the wine red and slate grey tie-dye. To get yours simply head over to TRS Designs and purchase the dress for zero linden from the Stay at Home Club vendor.

Sizes Included: Maitreya Lara, Belleza (Frey, Isis, Venus), Slink (Physique, Hourglass), TMP, Standard Mesh + Alpha (xxs – L)

DAPPA

I also don’t think it’s a secret that I love tattoos. DAPPA has been a recent favorite tattoo shop of mine. This heavily detailed upper body tattoo is the newest group gift at DAPPA and I’m geeking out about how great it looks. It’s a unisex tattoo with several appliers and BOM layers each with the choice of a fresh or faded look. The DAPPA group is free to join, and there are several male/female/unisex free group gifts available.

Appliers Included: Omega, Maitreya, Slink, Legacy, Signature, BOM Layers

BND

Last, but not at all least, no cute nerd girl look would be complete without glasses. I love these round specs by BND. They are just 5 linden on the Marketplace. With the glasses you get a texture change hud with options for the frames and lenses. There’s also a backup pair of glasses just in case you need them. Also, they can be manually resized which I really like.

I hope you enjoy these freebies and cheapies, happy shopping Fab Free, and always let your true self shine!

The Bright Side of the Screen

A lot of us are still all confined to quarters, but staying home doesn’t have to be the punishment so many see it as.  I say, stick on a cool outfit, and make the most of your “me” time.  We always complain that we don’t have enough of it, so though it’s probably not the way we want it to happen…may as well look on the bright side, right?

The Bright Side

One of my fave brands, Secret Oktober are taking part in the Midsummer Enchantment Hunt.  This awesome starry tank (sized for Maitreya bodies) is their hunt gift and it will only set you back 5L.   I am a sucker for anything with stars on it, so this one was right up my alley.  Your hunt item is a masquerade mask that you’ll have to search high and low for on the sim.  You’ve got until July 26th to find all the goodness!

Phone Obsessed

The phone I’m holding is a free gift from OMY  that  you can pick up at La Vie en Pose.  I mentioned the other day that by joining their free group, you’ll gain access to a massive pile of gifts that you’re sure to have lots of fun with.  The phone is super awesome because it’s actually animated!  Your thumb will move up and down the screen as it scrolls through what looks like Flickr posts.  It’s totally like art imitating life…or uh…SL imitating RL?  Either way… I had a good chuckle!  Go pick it up!  It’s free!

Soul Searching

I took a bus today to the middle of nowhere to do some soul searching.  It was a long ride, and all I brought with me was my mirror, because even when it’s 100 degrees in the shade, you gotta make sure you look fabulous darlings!

Sunday Necessities

Happy Sunday Funday Fab Free!  I am all of a flutter thinking about all the cool stuff I could get up to today.  On the top of that list, is of course ice cream…because….well…ice cream.  Do I need any further explanation?

You Go, COCO!

There’s a new group gift over at COCO!  You’ll also notice that they’ve got a brand new build to explore.  You’ll find loads of free group gifts at COCO, as well as free gifts you can grab with no group join required.  This cute lacy top (which is a bit salacious, I’ll admit) is free when you join their free group.  You can get a whole free wardrobe at COCO!  Nice!

Demons & Goddesses

What do you get when a demon and a goddess walk into an evening garden party?  Who knows, but I can tell you that my good friend RJ and I had an excellent time dancing, eating and casting spells.  Isn’t that what everyone does at mystical night garden parties?

MIIX it up

The MIIX event is back with another round this month, and there’s another fun free hunt!  If you join the Hype events group for free, you can hunt down all the little ancient Egyptian urns because they contain free gifts for both guys and gals!  I got my dress (sized for Maitreya, Belleza and Slink), necklace and sandals there (though there are also tattoos and bracelets…) and RJ got his shirt, tank top (sized for Gianni, Geralt, Jake and Slink) and sandals there too!  You’ll have a blast searching out the gifts, because I know I sure did!

Head on over to the MIIX event before July 20th when it all goes poof!

Back at the beach and looking for some fun!  I love walking barefoot in the sand… searching for shells and interesting rocks!  That calls for an easy breezy outfit!

Pit Stop

ROAD TRIP!!! Well not really, more like a LLllllloooonnnggg drive. Cause these days the car is another place we all feel safe in. To top it off you get a change of scenery and to be outside, for the most part. Have you ever taken a long drive and then pretended you were behind the wheel of another car? Oh! c’mon, you know you have. I myself wish I could be driving and old Hot Rod Roadster, Deuce Coupe hot rod, Ford Mustang, Mercury coupe. Get behind the wheel and feel all alpha male like. I think I’d be more like Arnie Cunningham to be honest.

Alpha Male isn’t all bad. This outfit I have on comes from a store named Alpha Male. I had no idea this store even existed. Until I was opening old Second Life Birthday gifts from last year. Yes, yes.. I’m one of those people in Second Life that has an object folder full of stuff you never open and an inventory from hell. That’s a whole other can of worms we need to keep a tight lid on. I decided to see if it was still around. Yes Alpha Male is, the group is free to join, and they have two male gifts out. These gifts include a whole outfit and shoes. With the one I’m wearing I even got these glasses. The outfit it called Nobody But You, it comes with the Two tone gray Jersey with a tiger design on the front. These leather looking Rogue pants. It also comes with some black leather gold chain sneaker/boot type shoes. Which aren’t pictured, because they only come in Slink. You can make them fit if you alpha your feet. All in all not a bad haul: two complete outfits for free. That doesn’t often happen for guys in Second Life. So ladies grab your guy and point him in this direction. If you do ladies, this store is in the same location as their counter part. Alpha Female and they have gifts too. Guys that are reading this, stop by Alpha Male and check these gifts out. They even have a lucky letter board for the men.

Sizes

• Adam
• Aesthetic
• Gianni
• Jake
• Slink

If you don’t mind this pit stop is over. I’m gonna climb back into my Hot Rod and peel out. Yeah, right, I wish. Hey that’s why we’ve got Second Life, I can peel out, and drive any car I like. Smell that rubber and eat my dust people.

A Bit Snobby

I am feeling a bit like a snobby shopper today.  It’s the complete antithesis of who I really am, but sometimes playing a role can be lots of fun.  I detest when people are mean or entitled, but this outfit is letting me explore the look without any of the drama!

Parisienne

My snobby yet chic look today is courtesy of Masoom.  You can get this very cute dress over at Cosmopolitan by joining the free group.  I particularly enjoy the little tied cravat bow around the neck.  It gives me all sorts of Paris in the 60’s vibes, and there’s nothing wrong with that!

Sizes

• Freya
• Hourglass
• Maitreya

Don’t wait too long, this round of Cosmopolitan ends on the 11th!

I can’t keep the snobby charade up for long, but I do love a good lewk!

Colour Blast

I love a good colour explosion.  There’s something to be said for the magical mood-boosting power of purple, pink…and uh…everything else!

Free Like a Dove

There are always fun things to pick up over at The Free Dove.  When you join their free group, you gain access to looooads of free goodies.  I always have a good time looking around to see what’s new, or putting together a new outfit from things I find there.  I picked up two freebies today:

• FREE Dress by Ydea sized for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, TMP and XXS – L with an Alpha Layer
• FREE Bag by My Bags

There are about 40 million (at least it feels like 40 million…) other awesome items to pick up there, so go have some fun!

Back Off My Banana Split

Anyone want to join me for some ice cream?  Summer calls for the most decadent of treats, I say.  I think banana splits may be on the top of that list for me though!  And speaking of decadent treats…let’s grab a delicious bikini without spending too much!

Back to the Beach!

The Beached Bunny hunt is in full effect, and you’ll find this really lovely bathing suit over at MOoH!  I couldn’t say no to the amazing textures that come with this cute swimwear, and best of all it will only set you back 1 little Linden and a bit of hunting time!  Your hunt hint is “Look behind the tuliphead”.
