There’s No Good Way to Say Goodbye

To a Great and Supporting Creator

As I write this post I can feel myself tearing up. .EscalateD., which is one of my favourite stores of all time, is closing its doors on July 31st, 2022. .EscalateD. was the first creator to support me as a blogger and I have had the privilege of showing their unique and beautiful hairstyles over the years. .EscalateD. has to have been one of the most generous hair creators to contribute to the freebie community over the years and the store will be missed dearly by her devoted fans. I hope that on whatever journey Dolphin Ayres embarks on after this that she finds great fulfillment and happiness in her RL and SL. ❤

Solaris

I am wearing Solaris today, which is my favourite hairstyle of all time from .EscalateD. It’s so beautiful. I love the detailing in the braids and the stones. This is a classic work from this wonderful creator. The hairstyle includes a style hud and a Universal Colour Hud in naturals and unnaturals colours, which work on all of the hairstyles sold in the store.

You may be lucky enough to win this hairstyle on the MM Board this month, as this will be your last chance to play these fun boards. Every day, there is a new hairstyle on the Midnight Mania boards which group members can play to win. The .EscalateD. VIP group only costs 25L to join right now. The boards are locking regularly lately. You can also win a tonne of hairstyles on their lucky boards, as well as Universal Colour huds. Being a VIP also gives you access to all of their lovely group gifts. There are more hairstyles available for free for those not in the group as well on lucky boards and mini mania boards that are free for all to play, as well as a few freebies and 5L offers on the wall. Now is your last chance to grab the free offers and group gifts at the store!

Additionally, you may have store credit racked up on your .EscalateD. account. Check your balance using any of the check credit terminals in the store. You only have until the end of July to use up that credit when the store closes. After that, credits will be gone forever. All items in the store are set to a 25% off discount for the closing sale. Fear not, though, .EscalateD. is not gone for good! After the store closes, all of the products will be available for purchase on their Marketplace store.

A final gift

As a parting present, my pretty little necklace is a free gift from Supernatural @ SL19B. It complimented my look well today and I always enjoy a little gift from this talented creator.

That’s all for now, FabFree!

Mermaids & Donuts

I’m back at the beach today, dear readers!  This time, in an oversized donut, and feeling slightly mermaidy again!  Well, donuts and mermaids are pretty awesome in general, so I’m good with it.  Bring on the good vibes, because this weekend is exactly what I needed!

Back to Cosmo

Cosmo’s anniversary celebration (part two) is raging on, and I found a few more cute things I wanted to show off.  This oh-so-appealing bikini by Safira will have you using a fork as a comb before you can say “The Little Mermaid”.  It’s so pretty!  I accessorized with this very lovely layered necklace by Supernatural, and I think it gives just the right amount of sparkle.  To get these gifts (and piles of others), just join the Cosmopolitan group for free and click on the boxes at each stall.  You’ve got until May 28th to visit!

Sizes

• Freya
• Hourglass
• Isis
• Maitreya
• Legacy
• Legacy Perky

Kinda wish this was a real donut right now, not gonna lie!

In Love with Love

I love Valentine’s Day Season. Blush and Sunset Pink are my favorite colors, and I love to love. I am a die hard Romantic, and Valentine’s Day is full of beautiful things that I simply love looking at. I couldn’t wait to pick up Raindale’s February Gift….I mean LOOK at this beautiful setting? The set comes with the heart shaped trellis, the bench, the adorable stuffy bear, the heart walkway, the flower tree, the tray and the little bucket. It all comes in parts AND in two versions ready to rez. The bench has poses for singles and couples (PG) and adjustments for both position AND rotation. You can move things around and make the space your very own.  I added the petals and roses,  so they are not included.

The group costs 250L to join, but the monthly gifts are always amazing. The holiday gifts are ALSO amazing, and there also cool hunts like they had for their Anniversary. In my game of Group Space Tetris, Raindale is never on the cut list, and is very worth the buy-in.

Overall, I had a fun time putting a love scene together, and hope you enjoy it, too!!!

Where Everybody Knows Your Name

Hey gang,

It’s that time again, time for some steamy hot chocolate (I’m one of those oddballs who doesn’t drink coffee), and it’s time for another Wicked Wednesday Sale!  Woohoo!

Where Everybody Knows Your Name

I absolutely love going to the new cafe at the Mystic Dreamers Mall.  It’s so cozy with the snow falling outside, and those little hammies always keeping the drinks fresh and super yummy (they bake too!  The chocolate chip cookies are to die for!).  It’s a great place to kick back a bit with friends and it’s one of those places you always feel welcome.  Those little cafe keepers always know too when I’ve had one of *those days* and I need an extra kick in my cocoa!  Ahhh, nothing like a bit of rum mixed in to make it extra warm and relaxing!

You know what is right across the courtyard from the cafe?  Shanti!  That’s where I picked up this absolutely adorable outfit for only 50L thanks to Wicked Wednesdays.  You can find this Wicked Wednesday deal available from now until early Thursday.  No group needed either!  You might want to join the Wicked Wednesday Group though to get the ad each week, that way, you don’t miss anything!  This dress fits:

• Classic Fitmesh Sizes
• Belleza
• Maitreya
• Slink

The boots come with it but are standard sizes.  I made mine work with a little bit of alpha and they look super cute!

This deal is active now, but don’t wait too long, by Thursday the sale ends.

Maybe we will see you at the cafe!  Stop by, grab a mug of something wonderful and spend some time by the cozy fire!

I refuse to grow up

The wall sign behind me is a free FabFree group gift at Afterparty. This sign is written in Chinese characters, and the literal English translation is, ” Don’t want to grow up”.

Ladies and Gentleman…. Please Welcome Sir Paul Mc…..

Hey gang,

I have to tell you about the exciting time I had the other night.  I was asked to introduce at an event but little did I know that I would be introducing Sir Paul!  (McCartney!)  Myyyyylanta I was flustered but I did my best and he came out on stage and as I was stepping away he grabbed my hand and asked me to sing Silly Love Songs with him.  Well, I love that song and I had a mad crush on him when I was young so startled and nervous as I was I stayed and it was sooo much fun!  I’m so glad I have a photo capturing the evening, this was the moment he grabbed my hand to stop me from walking away!  Oh swooon!

Well, it’s a nice fantasy!  My dream when I was young was to grow up and have that Paul and Linda relationship, where you are *so* in love and travel around the world making music together!  sigh….. (That didn’t happen, natch!)  It would have been my dream life!

Today I am here to tell you about a super fun shop I found called Mesh County!  That is where I found Paul (for only 35L!), but they have all sorts of mesh people and things, for great prices (If you are a Star Wars, Marvel or a Freddie Mercury fan, I have a feeling you will be *extra* pleased with what you can find there!  wink wink!).  I found some awesome people and characters for photos and heck if you even want to decorate with them, that works too!  Perhaps I will find Paul a special place at home or at the Fab Free Headquarters!  *giggle*

Oh and Halloween is coming, as you know and Mesh County has all sorts of fun spooky goodies for Halloween at great prices too!  Go check it out!  Lots of fun deals to be had!  Live *your* fantasy too perhaps?  I think they need to make a mesh of Sting for me.  😉

Happy shopping (and fantasizing!)!!!

1001 Nights

Mirage Treasure Co. is one of my very favorite stores.  I love all the exotic, Arabian, Moroccan, Eastern Indian, etc. décor.  I love the clothes too, it’s something I used to make a lot of in my shop, Shanti.

In my latest visit to Mirage, I decided to delve a bit into their group and free group gifts.  The group costs 100L to join, but there is an entire underground cave with hidden goodies, both décor and clothing for you to find.  There are also lucky chairs with some absolutely stunning prizes!  That’s what I am showing you today.

The dress I am wearing above (don’t you just *love* those colors!!) is one of the outfits you can get on the group lucky chairs (did I mention they also have outfits for the guys too!), it also comes with a gorgeous head jewel.  It fits:

• Belleza
• Classic
• Maitreya
• Slink

The furniture below is just a handful of gorgeous furniture and items for your home that you can get on the lucky chairs.  The couch and chairs are color change, so they are great to mix and match!  If you are looking for an exotic atmosphere for your home, look no further than Mirage Treasure Co.
