The Scent Takes Me Back

A big part of nostalgia for me occurs with certain smells. The scent of a specific incense, or a certain soap, even flowers can trigger memories. I love that. Generally the memories are always pleasant ones. My nostalgic smells aside, I do have some fabulous group gifts to share with you, so let’s get to it.

The Dress

This cute blue jean dress does have a bit of nostalgia for me in that it reminds me of that time in the early ’90s when Guess jeans were all the rage, and denim everything was in style. It’s one of many free group gifts at Julia’s Scandal. I paired the dress with a low cut applier tank top for a bit of added modesty. This dress showed a bit more of my girls than I wanted. My shape however could have been the culprit. Either way, I think it’s a cute look. The Julia’s Scandal group is free to join at this time.

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

The Earrings

I know you can not see beaded the earrings I have on super well in this photo. My apologies for that, they seem to blend in with the background. I’ll include the vendor photo below so you can see these fun over-sized earrings by Indulge Temptation. They are the current Teleport Hub group gift at IT!. The earrings come in a blue and red version, and a pink and blue version, each with three metal choices. The Teleport Hub group has a one time join fee of 10 linden.

The Pose & Flower 

This pretty bento pose by Hazeel was previously a Pose Fair gift, and now can be picked up at the Hazeel pose shop, with your Hazeel group tag. The gift includes the bento pose in and out of a poseball, and the rose in pink, red, or yellow. Each rose also has a transfer version so you can pass it to others. The Hazeel group has a one time join fee of 99 linden, and there are multiple group gifts available.

We’ll move to an island

So I popped over to WellMade because I just had to have the super cute new FabFree group gift bikini. While I was there, I noticed that the gifts for the other various groups seem to have been updated as well! One of the new ones that I picked up is this fabulous shirt that they have available for the Teleport Hub group. And then I was faced with a very serious dilemma – which gift to photograph first?? Well obviously I did the only logical thing – both at once, of course!

Cropped Top

As I said, this shirt is a free group gift for the Teleport Hub group at Wellmade. Teleport Hub is 10L to join, and it’s totally worth one of those precious group slots because it gives you access to free gifts all over the place! This top comes sized for Maitreya as well as both Slink Hourglass and Physique. There is also a HUD with 2 color options. It’s a sexy and casual style that I think is just perfect!

Bikini bottoms

When you pick up this FabFree free group gift bikini at Wellmade, it comes with the bottoms that I’m wearing and also a bikini top that I’m not wearing. Each is sized for:

• Maitreya
• Belleza Freya, Isis, and Venus
• Slink Hourglass and Physique
• additional “tighter” versions of Maitreya and Hourglass in the bottoms

Plus a HUD with two great color options. It’s a casual, comfy, sexy bikini to go with my casual, sexy, comfy top! Oh and as always, the FabFree group is free to join.

Mind Strong, Body Strong

Why can’t RL jogging look this cute? SL me is all adorable and non-sweaty. And she’s not wearing socks, can you imagine the blisters? Okay, maybe I’m taking the SL vs RL comparison too far. I just know that when I found these shorts I had to wear them. This is another post overflowing with freebies, but accidentally this time. I went to build an outfit around my shorts and all the other fabulous free stuff was already hiding in the depths of my inventory. Let me tell you, my inventory is truly an amazing yet terrifying place.

Shorts

I really love these shorts. They are an in-store free gift at Hashtag for pride month, but they are still out. I didn’t need to join a group or anything, just tp in, give it a click, and they were mine! They are grey with stripes along the bottom and say “love is love” on one side. Only one size is included, for Maitreya.

Shirt

I didn’t realize that this free top by Vinyl had been out for so long. Love first showed it almost 2 years ago, but it is still really great. It comes sized for:

• Freya
• Hourglass
• Isis
• Lara
• Physique
• TMP
• Venus

It also comes with a HUD full of color options – it can be plain, say the names of different cities, and the bra straps underneath can be changed too or just removed. If you don’t already have it, then you need it. Just head over to Vinyl, join the free group, and it’s on the wall will a bunch of other great freebies too.

Shoes

These shoes are a Teleport Hub group gift at The Oak. There is a version for guys also and the female ones comes in 2 sizes – Classic and Maitreya. And they are super customizable. The HUD that is included has 8 colors and each part of the shoe can be changed individually. The possibilities are endless…well not endless but there’s like, a lot.

Pose

And finally the pose. I don’t know why I always list the pose last, it’s quite possibly the most important part of putting a picture together in my opinion. This one was only 1L on the marketplace here! Yes, please. Actually now that I’m looking again, there are a bunch of other 1L and 10L poses in Korper’s marketplace store as well. I’m gonna have to go back and get me some more poses!

I feel you like electric light

Hi! I’m just popping in to wish you a happy Monday and show you this really cute top that I got from Trashed. I love how one sleeve is slipping off and that it’s cropped but not like whoa.

Drift To You, You’re All I Hear

I think I’ve mentioned that I love to explore and find beautiful sims in Second Life. Well, a few days ago I discovered this sim that I had never been to before. It is sooooo pretty that I won’t even try and describe it, just use my link at the bottom there and go check it out if you’ve never been. Obviously, upon finding such a gorgeous place, I immediately put on a flowy dress and took pictures of myself. That’s a normal reaction, right?

Lovely Lace

This dress is by MOoH! and I’m in love. It is short with bare shoulders but has long, loose sleeves – a perfect contrast. The lace is amazing and there is a HUD so you can pick a different soft, pastel shade if you prefer. I went with simple white and I’m very pleased with the look. This is MOoH!’s latest free gift for the Teleport Hub group, which is 10L to join. It comes in a plethora of sizes. We’re talking:

• Hourglass
• Ebody
• Freya
• Isis
• Maitreya
• Ocacin
• Physique
• TMP
• Tonic Curvy & Fine
• Venus
• and 5 fitmesh sizes, XS-XL

Hidden Heels

The sandals that I’m wearing are really nice and go great with this dress buuuut they’re almost completely obscured by the tall grass in my picture. So here’s the vendor picture so that you can see what I’ve failed to show you.

They’re super cute and it’s a fatpack full of colors. It is a free group gift from Chic & Shoes. They come sized for Maitreya, Slink Hourglass, and Slink Physique. To get them I just had to join the free group and click on the vendor. It is upstairs on the second level of the store, in the middle of the room.

Isn’t It Delicate?

No don’t worry about me, it’s actually far more comfortable than it looks. Really.

There is so much awesome stuff going on today that I’m just going to throw you a hot little number to add to your shopping list and then you can be on your way. There’s the Witchwood hunt, Midnight Madness, the Saturday sale – so many awesome SL bargains to be had!

White Lace

Isn’t this look so pretty and innocent? It’s a free group gift from Girly’s Inc for the teleport hub group. Teleport hub is 10L to join. The top and skirt are two separate pieces and included in the folder are sizes for:

• Slink Physique and HG
• TMP
• Maitreya

Tale As Old As Time

Okay, what do you think of this one? Better or worse then the last 8 that I tried on? At least in SL we don’t need to worry about going back for a different size, they’re all already included in one handy dandy folder. If only RL shopping were as simple. *Sigh* Now that I think about it, a HUD to change clothing colors in RL and windlight settings to fix that dreadful lighting would be nice too. Is someone keeping a list? We need to make this happen.

Nevermind that I match the dressing room

When it’s such a pretty color, surely matching the walls isn’t really a bad thing. This very ladylike and elegant dress is the newest group gift from Belle Epoque. The group is 10L to join. If matching the walls isn’t your preference, there are a bunch of other springy, happy colors to choose from in the included HUD.

And shoes to match

I love a great pair of heels. These are a Teleport Hub group gift from G&D. It’ll cost you another 10L to join the group and you’ll get the heels sized for Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink.

I’m sorry for the things I said when it was winter

Hey there Fabulouses!  It has been a long winter and I may have said a few things I shouldn’t have in frozen frustration, but it’s time to move forward, smile and build up those spring and summer 2018 inventories.

Build Up Your Spring Fashion Inventory

A great place to start is at Z Black Store where you’ll find several free gifts, including the Safira Dress as a group gift for being a member of the Teleport Hub inworld group (10L to join).  The Safira Dress comes in several sizes as listed below and includes a texture change HUD with eight different colour options.  This is a very sheer dress, and I have chosen to add a bit of modesty with a pair of Maai Basic Panty appliers (free group gift at Maai with a free group join, which has been previously blogged on FabFree by me [HERE].

Sizes Included

• XS-XL Mesh + Alpha Layer
• Maitreya Lara
• Slink Physique & Hourglass

Love Some Body…

Show your body some love this holiday season with the (almost) FREE Teleport Hub group gift at Altamura.  Pick up Aaron, a bento, full body mesh avatar for being a member of the Teleport Hub group. Not a member? Join for just 10L and gift yourself this Christmas. Included are the body and modifiable shape, and the following HUDs:

• Alpha
• Facial Pose
• Facial AO
• Hands
• Face animation pack

I didn’t have much time to “play” with Aaron, but if I was looking for a starter bento mesh body, he’d be the one. Capping off Aaron is the Shizuki Cap w/ Hair, the FREE group gift at ARGRACE that I previously showed [HERE].

Christmas Jewells….

I stopped by Miss Jewell where there are several hunts taking place.  I found the Male Mesh Leather Jacket, the Feel My Sack Hunt gift and the 3 Lithium Shirt, the prize in the Christmas Joy Hunt. Both these Items come in classic sizes XS-XL. The items in both of these hunts are just 1L each. I also have more gifts to show form Miss Jewell later.

Give Me a Reason

Hello There Fab Free’rs! It’s been a long week for me in that place called real life. Needless to say I’m glad to be back in virtual reality. Today’s post features a few more FREE gifts from The Coven Lunar Festival, the August Group gift from Truth, and some inexpensive lingerie from Milk Tea.

Beautiful Blue

This sweet pastel blue lingerie set is a FREE group gift by Milk Tea for the Teleport Hub group members. You’ll find this gift at the Milk Tea main store. Look for a small sitting area to one side of the shop, there you’ll see the Teleport Hub group joiner and the gift box set to the Teleport Hub group. The group has a one time join fee of 10 lindens. The gift includes the applier lingerie set shown in this pastel blue shade. It also includes a shirt and pant layer for classic non mesh avatars.

Appliers Included:  Omega, Slink, Maitreya (one applier with all 3 options)

Elie

The long bob hairstyle named “Elie” that Pru is wearing is the August group gift for Truth VIP members. I love that this gift not only comes in a fatpack so you get every hair color available, but it also has a stylist hud for some fun style options. You can choose to wear the hair tucked behind the right or left ear, down on both sides, or tucked behind both ears. There are 8 total style variations. This cute hairstyle also has bobby pins when the hair is worn over the ear. The included hud will allow you to change the color of the pins, or choose to make them invisible. Additionally, there are rigged and unrigged versions of the hair included. The Truth VIP group has a one time join fee of 350 lindens.

You might recall my previous post that featured a few of the FREE gifts at The Coven Lunar Festival, you can get a look at it here. There are tons of FREE gifts available at the event. I chose to include a few more in this post because I liked them too much not to share them.

Septum Piercing

Arise put out this pretty purple septum piercing as their The Coven Lunar Festival event gift. In the package you’ll get the piercing in a script free version, and one that includes resize scripts. You will need to join The Coven group and wear the group tag to get the gift. There is a group joiner at the landing point. The Coven Lunar Festival gifts are all in little black cauldrons. Just click the cauldron while wearing the group tag and your gift will be sent to you. The group is FREE to join.

Give Me a Reason

Personally, I am not  always a fan of tattoos that are mostly text. I think this one is very cute and simple, and it looks great when applied. This tattoo is The Coven Lunar Festival gift from Nanika. This is an applier tattoo only. With each applier you will be able to choose either dark, medium, or light depending on how dark you want the tattoo to appear. This gift will also require The Coven group tag.

Appliers Included: Omega, Maitreya
