Guilty Pleasures

 

One of my favorite guilty pleasures in second life is free VIP group joins. Oh how I love them, even if I am always panicking to figure out which groups to join and leave to make openings for the best groups. Today I’ll be showing you some amazing gifts and gift cards you can get from these groups you can join currently for free!

Get me some Sintiklia!

Sintiklia has graciously made their VIP group free to join for a limited time. This group normally has a 250L fee, and there is an insane amount of amazing hair and makeup gifts. This one is certainly a keeper! Right now I have the dreamy hair on and it certainly is dreamy…

Arcane Spellcaster did it again

Arcane Spellcaster is known for their generous gift card giveaways. Right now the group is free to join and there is a 250L gift card available until June 21. Stay in the group too, as they will be releasing a 500L gift card later this month from June 22-24th, but by the 22nd the group will have a join fee. With my free gift card I purchased the Telsa shorts, which only cost 175 L for the fatpack.

Sizes included:

• Belleza (Freya & Isis)
• Maitreya
• Legacy
• Altamura

[b]elle is beautiful

b[elle] is a great designer who always has lovely monthly gifts out- called his n’ hers- two gifts which are available each month of the year for members of the b[elle] group. The group is currently free to join. I love the top for ladies this month; it has the cutest spring flowers pattern on it.

Sizes included:

• Belleza (Freya, Isis & Venus)
• Maitreya
• Slink (Physique & Hourglass)

Thanks for reading, Fab Free!

Purple Glory

Happy Weekend, Fab Free! I hope you’re all having fun this weekend and snatching up lots of sale items and freebies! I am going to share with you today pieces of this glorious purple outfit!

A Limited Edition Sale

Addams is having a limited edition sale of the Phoebe outfit- which includes this lovely sweater and jeans. These items are being sold in packs at 50 L each. What an amazing deal! Several textures and different colours come in each pack, but they are all in stripe options. This offer is only available this weekend, so head over to Addams ASAP to get Phoebe!

Feeling Fruity

The top I am wearing underneath is from Tooty Fruity. It is a past group gift, called Carlie top. Their group costs 99 Linden to join. The Addams special does not include the original under top for the special, so this top fits this outfit perfectly!

Thanks for reading, Fab Free!

Because Sleeves

No matter how old I get, I can’t imagine not loving slightly too long sleeves on my sweatshirts. Maybe it’s some kind of nostalgia, or just that it makes them feel extra cozy. This sweet extra long-sleeved cropped sweater is the November 2019 group gift at Luas. It comes in a hand-full of sizes and has a texture/change hud with 6 graphic options for the main shirt, and 6 solid colors for the undershirt. Most of the graphic choices are holiday themed, however there is the cute kitty face shown and an equally cute lucky cat option. The Luas group has a one time join fee of 50 linden, and there are past group gifts available.

Sizes Included: Belleza (Isis, Freya), Slink Hourglass, Maitreya Lara, Legacy

Laundry Day

 

Hi Again Fab Free’rs! I call this look “when it’s laundry day but you still wanna look cute for Easter.” hahaha Really, I had a lot of fun with a few more finds from The Rotten Egg Hunt, and this fun “Need Laundry” pose by DANU. I picked up this cute top at The Rotten Egg Hunt, it’s by Secret Oktober. Also while at The Rotten Egg Hunt I picked up a really pretty crescent shaped bindi by Valika Rituals. Keep reading for all the details about these fabulous finds. Also, Aline’s sweet sleepy self has been doing some Rotten Egg Hunting, to see what she found check out her post “Sleepy Times.”

The Pose – This fun laundry pose is a Marketplace find by DANU. It’s just 37 linden and it includes a pose-ball pose, and the laundry basket prop. The basket comes white, but I tinted it darker. I also needed to shrink it down to fit between Pru’s hand and hip, which was easy to in edit mode since the basket does not have any scripts. Have fun, and do your laundry!

The Top – Secret Oktober has 5 versions of this cropped bunny sweater at The Rotten Egg Hunt. I was excited to find the number 5 egg and get the bunny with the spider. It felt a little bit like Easter and a little bit like Halloween, which suits my exceedingly eclectic tastes. lol These tops are just 10 linden each, and come in a Maitreya fit only.

The Bindi – This pretty little bindi by Velika Rituals is one of the dollarbie Rotten Egg Hunt prizes. At just 1 linden, it is way too nice to pass up. I’m loving accessories that are free of scripts like this one, sometimes simple really is best. You can resize, and even change the color of this bindi by using the edit menu. Just don’t forget to make a copy first!

A Hunting We Will Go

When Easter falls early in the year, I get a bit let down to tell you the truth.  In my part of the world, it’s still all grey and slushy and I’m surrounded by general grossness.  When you think of Easter, you think of blossoms dripping from the trees, and being able to go out without a toque and mukluks (ha!).  However, I’m in chillsville.  In SL, however, I’ve come over all rosy and have found a cute little sweater and knickers combo that is great for lounging about while waiting for the Easter bunny to visit!

Hunting Basket Goodies

In my travels through the grid, I came across a mini hunt that’s taking place at Tatiko.  There are five eggs to find, each one containing a pretty little gift.  Search high and low, and pay 1L for each item.  I decided to pair this bunny adorned sweater with the lingerie I also hunted down for 1L at Tatiko.  What will you find there?

Sizes

• Curvy (Top Only)
• Fine (Top Only)
• Hourglass
• Isis
• Freya
• Maitreya
• Physique
• Venus
• TMP (Knickers Only)

Oeuf Course!

Pardon my horrible French pun above (I can’t stop myself sometimes), but I have found lovely little eggy earrings to go with my Easter look.  I picked these up the other day while at Sorbet, and I must say they please me no end.  You can pick them up too by joining the group for 25L.  There are several other gifts available, including the dress I posted the other day.

Hoppy Easter, my friends!

The Cart Sale – The 100

Hello hello Fab Free’rs! I just cannot get enough of these 10 linden finds at The Cart Sale still taking place at The Wash. Not only have I been able to update some of my furniture, I’m getting some great new wardrobe pieces as well. If you’re unfamiliar with The Cart Sale, all the items available from any participating vendor are just 10 lindens.

The 100

Once again I’ve discovered a new-to-me shop, The 100. I picked out two personal favorites from their cart to share with you. I also really dig the store name, it makes me think of the television series with the same name, which I very much enjoyed. Shown on the left, I adore the soft sweet floral pattern on this nightie. It come in several mesh sizes and is a steal for 10 lindens. The cute cowl neck cropped sweater on the right is also just 10 lindens at The 100 cart. I like the sketchy red hearts and arrows,  it’s festive without being too frilly. Both items come in a few other colors as well.

Mesh Sizes Included (Nightie): Belleza (Freya, Isis, Venus), TMP, Maitreya Lara, Slink (Physique, Hourglass)
Mesh Sizes Included (Sweater): Fitmesh, Belleza (Freya, Isis, Venus), Maitreya Lara, Slink (Physique, Hourglass)
