The Perennial Maximalist

Everyone always talks about simplicity.  I am a proponent of this on certain days, to be sure,  however sometimes what one needs to be is a maximalist.   There’s nothing wrong with surrounding yourself with your favourite things.  I like a good overflowing collection of pretty baubles, or being surrounded by all the glitter and gorgeousness I can muster.   You know, like a deep pile rug and vases full of marabou feathers and just one more lip gloss.  The aging, weathered glamour calls out to me sometimes, or perhaps it’s just a little pvc skirt and a new hairstyle!

Smug as Can Be

Mug has a new group gift out!  This extremely mini PVC skirt is slightly insane in all the right ways.  You can make it into the perfect weird outfit with just a bit of imagination.  You’ll most probably need a little layer underneath though if you’re planning on not shocking the neighbours.  To get your own little skirt, just join the Mug group for 250L and head on over to the shop and click on the vendor.  There are a bunch of other gifts there while you’re at it!

Sizes

• Maitreya
• Belleza
• Sking

Nothing But the Truth

Time for a new VIP gift from Truth!  Horizon is a long messy ponytail with several different bang options.  You can add or remove the bobby pins too to make this look all your own.  And as always with Truth VIP hairstyles, it’s a full fatpack of colours!  You can get yours by joining the Truth VIP group for 350L and then taking a peek in group notices for your copy!

Here’s to maximalism!

Dreamer

Welcome back to the blog Fab Free’rs! I am having a hard time wrapping my head around the idea that it’s already December. This seems to be a common situation for me to find myself in however. Time moves much faster than I do! Already this holiday season seems busier than ever, and I am ready for a nice long nap. These cute satin shorts, the matching camisole, and the kitty eye-mask are all gacha items by Petite Mort that you can score for just 50 linden per play at the Imaginarium event. Not only that, but they are most definitely nap-time approved! I’ll include a copy of the gacha key below so you can see all the adorable variations of this sweet set. At just 50 lindens each, you’re gonna want them all! Also, there’s a special gift awarded after 20 pulls. Additionally, you’ll want to join the free-to-join gimme gacha group and pickup the free pair of fuzzy slippers waiting for you at the Petite Mort booth at the Imaginarium event. I’m sorry I didn’t get them photographed! There are 6 colors and several sizes for each item.

The Pumpkins Stay

Hey There Fab Free’rs! So I’ve decided I can let go of Halloween, but the pumpkins gotta stay. At least until the end of November! Especially this barbed wire pumpkin candle holder by Reka. It’s a free group gift for members of the Reka group. The Reka group is also free to join. I sometimes have a soft spot for things like barbed wire re-purposed into art and the shabby-chic aesthetic.

Speaking of shabby-chic, I think these cute potted succulents fit the description as well. I picked them up for free at the Gacha Garden event. I actually picked up quite a few fantastic free gifts at the current Gacha Garden round. There are tons! The gifts at Gacha Garden require you to wear the Gimme Gacha event group tag. This group is free to join. The succulent gift is by Your Dreams. It comes with a single plant that you can copy and modify.

Next up on my little gift grabbing adventure through the Gacha Garden, this hair. I know Juli already showed you this cute free hairstyle by Fabia in her post “Fab Mad“, but who can resist that hat?! It’s another of the free gifts and it comes in a set of red hair color choices.

Pru’s other-worldly olive colored eyes are the free Gacha Garden gift from Lotus. These eyes come in Lelutka Appliers, Catwa Appliers, and a set of mesh eyes. There are 5 beautiful pupil-less color choices.

It has been a while since Pru had multiple piercings. This piercing set by Supernatural made me wonder why it’s been so long. The set is quite pretty, and is yet another free gift at Gacha Garden. The set includes 4 piercings that can be worn separately or together. There is a full set in gold, and one in silver. A color change hud for the gemstone part of the piercings is also included.

Lastly, I know you can’t see much of it, my apologies, however the wooden coffee table everything is sitting on is also a free gift at Gacha Garden. Its by a shop called Rassuel. The table is short and rectangular, with a single shelf and square legs. It’s a great basic modern looking furniture piece.

Here are the details, enjoy!

Boudoir Secrets

Hello FabFree!

As you may have heard Cosmopolitan’s 6th Anniversary as started, you can see previous coverage on the event by Love {here}! There are gifts a plenty here, all you need to do is be a member of the in-world group, which is free to join and shop away! All of the gifts are freebies for the celebration of the event’s 6th Anniversary.

So, after shopping and gathering my free gifts at Cosmopolitan, I rush home to see what goodies are in store for me. The very first gift I open is a sexy little lingerie number by Kenny Rolands. Now, I am a HUGE fan of this creator, have been for quite some time, their textures and attention to detail is outstanding. This is a one piece lingerie set, that is quite risque, a little blue bow covers the most sensitive of areas, while the bra is left open for a revealing concept.

Kenny Rolands- Miss Cute Sizing:

• Maitreya
• Belleza- Freya
• Slink- Hourglass

I love lacy pretty accessories and Supernatural has a beautiful little freebie at the Cosmopolitan event. It is a little collar/choker, with a multi-color HUD for the band. This gift does offer both open collar and non open collar options, for those it may interest. The accents of gold and little white gems, really do bring a sense of soft beauty to this piece.

Supernatural- Lovely Collar Options:

• Open Collar
• Non Open Collar (Just a simple accessory)

I See You

Hello Fab Free! It’s been a lazy sort of Sunday for me, and I genuinely hope you have had some time to just relax over the weekend before we all get back to the grind on Monday. Since it has been such a chill day I took the opportunity to browse through the Imaginarium event. There are quite a few FREE group gifts waiting there. I also picked up the February group gift at Pumec. So let’s get down to it!

The Imaginarium Gifts – First, you’ll need to join the “Gimme Gacha” group to get these FREE gifts at the Imaginarium. The group is FREE to join. A tip for easy joining, you’ll get a message with a link to the group if you click one of the gift boxes without wearing the Gimme Gacha group tag. That’s how I joined. Most of the vendors have a colorful gift box set out, you’ll find everything from clothing and accessories to home decor. I picked my personal favorites to share, which both happen to be jewelry items.

The wrapped necklace with the rhinestone crosses is the FREE gift by Supernatural at the Imaginarium event. It includes a color change hud so you can change the color of the rhinestones. Secondly, these cute geometric bat earrings are by a shop called Akuma Drops. They are simple and cute, not to mention FREE at the current round of Imaginarium. Once again, there are many many gifts available, so if you have a few minutes, definitely head over to the Imaginarium.

Pumec – Although yes, it is March, the February group gift at Pumec (along with several others) is still available and she is super cute. This skin’s name is Elees. This gift comes in several tones with body appliers and a Catwa head applier. The body appliers have an additional cleavage option, and there are two eyebrow colors for each of the skin tones.

Head Applier: Catwa Only

Body Appliers: Slink, Omega, Maitreya, Belleza

P.S. If you missed out on this cute Astra hairstyle by TRUTH at the recently ended “Shop Your Heart Out” event, you can still get it. It’s been sent out to the TRUTH VIP group. Love originally blogged this style in her post “Running Errands.” The TRUTH VIP group is 350 linden to join.

Mission Possible

Hello Fab Free!  I’m turning up the heat today in a bright orange mini dress, that is just made for awesomeness to happen in.  I am strutting my way through these lasers that just happen to be here.  I wonder if they do anything…

Gacha Again!

The other day I was telling you about some amazing FREE gifts I found at the Gacha Garden, and I’m back to tell you about a few more I picked up!  I just love getting free hair.  I really do.  Ayashi has put out this long ponytail that comes with an HUD so you can change the colour to a plethora of different pastel shades.  So pretty! I also picked up this awesome dress in the bright and cheerful orange shade by Promagic.  I really love the texturing on this one!  This item fits my Maitreya body perfectly.  The last pretty item I want to show you are the earrings I got at the Supernatural display – a beautiful set of hoops with an orangey stone in them that match my dress perfectly.  Here’s a closeup of the earrings for you!

I do enjoy putting whole outfits together from events – especially when there are so many gorgeous options put out by generous creators! You can grab all these gifts and more by joining the Gimme Gacha group and clicking on the gift boxes at the event.

Instant Hair Crush

Like Falling Autumn Leaves

You know what else falls this Autumn?  The price on the brand new Bento Instant Crush Hairstyle by Exile in their marketplace store – all the way down to 1L!  Their usual “all or nothing pack” price is 1250, so this is a really sweet savings.  This long pulled back hairstyle with side swept bangs includes a bento version as well as ALL the colour pack HUDS!

To Swish Or Not To Swish

The bento version is actually a lot of fun to watch swishing and moving around with my avatar, although if you prefer no movement, the regular hair is included as well.

Spending A Little, Getting A Lot

Hello there Fabulouses!  Last month on FabFree, I featured a really cute group gift by Mishchino [HERE], and I thought it would be a good idea to take a trip down there again this month to see what was new in the shop.  Boy was I glad that I did!

Sold For 20L!

I *think* there is a new group gift to pick up there, and I will have to go back and check lol, because my eyes zoomed straight to this mermaid scale printed dress and I was lost in the sale.  I nearly fell over when I saw it was priced at just 20L.  There are several of the Olivia Dresses in different prints for sale on the same rack for just 20L as well.  There was no Maitreya version included for the body I normally wear, however the medium mesh size fit me just fine with the use of the Maitreya Lara Alpha HUD.

Sizes Included:

• XXS – L Mesh
• Slink Physique & Hourglass
• Belleza Venus & Isis
• Belleza Freya Natural, Perky & Pushup

A Couple Shopping Additions…

Since I was out saving a bundle of lindens (I’d have spent so much more on that dress… just sayin), I had a little extra for some Cosmopolitan Sales Room Finds!  I added a close up shot below so you can see the ARTE Shimmer Eyeliner and Supernatural Splash Necklace that are both available at great prices at the new round of Cosmo Sales Room.

Bad Romance at TCF

Hello Hello Fab Free! It’s been such a long week, I’ll be so glad for the weekend. Weekend yearnings aside, I promised more of The Chapter Four Anniversary gifts, and I’m here to deliver. As I mentioned in my previous post, there is a 50L join fee for The Chapter Four group, which is a bit of a bummer, but I believe it’s worth it for these fantastic gifts.

Pr!tty Awesome Gift

Speaking of, this cute side-swept hairstyle is The Chapter Four Anniversary gift from pr!tty. This is one of those hugely generous gifts. Not only is the style a full fat-pack of colors, there are 3 color styles, rootless, medium roots, and heavy roots. There’s also a lower front version of the style. This FREE gift comes with the headband shown, and two additional headbands as well.

A Little Meow Meow

I really love the delicate detail of the two necklace combo that is the Supernatural TCF Anniversary gift. These adorable necklaces can be worn separately as well as together. Also, there is a hud included that will allow you to resize them for easy fitting.

Going GaGa

I will tell you that I really don’t believe in the concept of guilty pleasures. However, I understand the concept, and Lady Gaga is a “guilty pleasure” of mine. That said, when I saw that the TCF Anniversary gift by Kraftwork was this sign that reads “bad romance”… yeah love it! If you’re not sure about the connection with Lady Gaga, it’s the title to one of her songs. The sign can be resized manually and has a faint glow.

White Lace

Lastly, this lingerie set is a Maitreya applier TCF Anniversary gift from Ambrosia. Just wear the applier hud and click it to apply both the top and bottom. Also, based on the name which you’ll see in the credits below, I expected the lingerie to be mauve. However, I’m not disappointed in the white lingerie. I think it looks very feminine and pretty.

Here are the details, Enjoy!

Hello Sunshine

Hello Fab Free’rs, we’ve made it half way through the week already! I don’t know about everyone else but where I am we have definitely started to feel the summer heat. Often the early morning is the most pleasant time of day to be outside. Everything is still cool from the night before. This cute casual sundress from American Bazaar is just the sort of thing for those cool summer mornings and on into the hot afternoon. This fully mesh dress the FREE group gift for ladies (you’ll also find a pair of swim trunks for the men!) at American Bazaar. The dress comes in standard mesh sizes and the American Bazaar group is FREE to join.A sundress almost requires that you wear sunglasses with it. Sunglasses are my favorite accessory anyway, so I really didn’t need to be convinced. They are also a very versatile accessory in my opinion. They can be classy, or fun, plain or artful. I am really enjoying these particular sunglasses by Pshcho byts. They are in a gacha machine at the Rock Attitude Fair for just 35 lindens per play! The best part about these sunnies from Psycho byts is the hud that comes with them. Even the commons include a hud that lets you change between several lens options, some of which have images or words, and others are a little more plain. The hud will also allow you to change the individual colors of the roses, and the color of the leaves. Honestly, I think I have a new favorite pair of sunglasses! You’ll find this gacha and several others in a little fenced area behind one of the main buildings at the Rock Attitude Fair.
