Creating Curb Appeal

Hi there Fabulous Folks!  I am switching things up today and am showing you some décor items instead of clothing.  I came across a few cute things this weekend that I thought you all might like to hear about.  Perhaps you’ll find something you like to spruce up your home in Second Life!

Come On In!

The build you see in my photo is Ranger Rick’s Office which is part of The Hive’s Arcade Gacha offering at 50L per play.  To the side of the doorsteps you’ll find a couple of items made by The Ruddy Duck Co. (one of them a dollarbie!), and on the steps a group gift by JIAN and Zen Creations which are both free to join.

JIAN Kitty Shark Bed:

This adorable item is just 2 prims to rez and includes the sleeping kittens inside the bed.  Both kittens are texture change as well as the bed and as it is copy, you can rez out as many as you like. You can find this as a free group gift at JIAN with a free group join.

Zen Creations Cape Cod Candles:

The Cape Cod Candles are the latest group gift at Zen Creations.  This décor piece is 7 prims and is copy/mod so that you are able rez as many as you like and edit the colour and size to your liking.  The Zen Creations group is free to join.

The Ruddy Duck Company:

The Ruddy Duck Co. is a fairly new shop in Second Life and has some really nice outdoor décor items available in their marketplace store including a 1L item.  In my photos you’ll find the following…

• The Ruddy Duck Co. Pink Hibiscus Bucket: 1L / 5 prims / copy-mod
• The Ruddy Duck Co. Rustic Fence w/ Roses: 99L / 4 prims / copy-mod

A Million Bucks

Hey there Fabulouses!  You don’t have to spend a million bucks to look a million bucks.  It’s all about pulling the right things together ;).  I managed to  put my entire outfit together for free today, and only spent 75L on the hair!

A Formal Find

COCO Designs, who has a plethora of free group gifts with a free group join, has added this stunning black Halter Gown to their group gifts area!  I should pay my thanks to Carson, who was the one that alerted me of this great find and inspired my look today.  I am so glad he mentioned it, because I do very much love this dress with the gorgeous texturing and sleek leg peek design.  Normally I am not a fan of ruffles and frills, but the ruffle around the bottom of the long sexy draped skirt really balances it out.  Not only does this gown look fantastic when I am standing still, but it moves very nicely with you when you walk. (Thanks Carson!)

Sizes included:

• Maitreya
• Slink Physique
• Slink Hourglass

Bundle yourself up…

The gown does not include the fur scarf, however you can find this as a free group gift in the same section at COCO Designs in three colours, so just pick it up while you are there!  They work with all kinds of avatars as they are adjustable.

Don’t Forget Your Dancing Shoes

The other day [HERE], I mentioned that The Arcade Gacha has several free gifts (just priced at 0L) under their Christmas Tree, and I am still unpacking the boxes I picked up!  I found these amazing Empire Cranesbill heels that include a texture change hud with plenty of colour options in one of those boxes!

Compatible with:

• Belleza
• Slink
• Maitreya
• TMP

The Finishing Touch

I have blogged about these lovely Xia locks by Truth Hawks before, but now… Truth is participating in the 12 Days of Savings promotion on marketplace and you can pick up several styles priced at just 75L each!  Xia is one of them 🙂

Noel Noelle

Good evening Fabulouses 🙂  You might want to grab a bevvie of some kind because I will be holding you hostage for a spell to tell you all about the great FREE finds in my photos today.  There is so much going on in Second Life this month with the holidays upon us and the generous freebies are definitely flowing!

Deck Your Halls

Have you decked your home for the holidays yet?  Make sure you stop by this round of The Arcade and pick up the presents under the tree.  There are several gift boxes set out, priced at 0L for you to just pick up!  In my photo you’ll find the following free gifts that I picked up at The Arcade.  There are plenty more btw., these are just a handful of the offerings.

• Wreath – Ariskea Season of Giving Wreath (free / 0L @ The Arcade)
• Garland – Birdy Cabaret Star String Light (free / 0L @ The Arcade)

Side note:  If you have trouble seeing the gifts under the massive tree, you can derender the tree and cam down from the top – much easier!

Grab My Cozy Outfit Too

Not only is my holiday display mostly free today, but my outfit is too!  You can find the Noelle Snuggle Outfit as a free group gift for the holidays at FA Creations (free to join).  The Noelle Snuggle Outfit includes the hoodie and matching pants in XS-XL mesh sizes with co-ordinating alpha layer as well as the rigged/non rigged mesh socks.

I added the For Goodness Sake Top under my unzipped hoodie, but it’s free too!  You’ll find the For Goodness Sake Omega Appliers as a free Fabulously Free in SL group gift at Siss Boom, as shown in my previous announcement [HERE].  It comes in four colours (white, black, red & tan), and as always – The FabFree group is free to join.

Seasons Change

Good evening Fabulous Readers :).  Just taking my pups out for a crisp autumn evening walk and thought I’d stop in to show you a fabulous and free group gift!

Tonight I am featuring The Autumn Outfit by MOoH! that includes the mesh plaid skirt and cardigan I am wearing.  If you are an inworld member of the Third Life group that costs just 5L to join, you can pick up this very well made gift for free!

I also wanted to share a bit of news about these sweet pups I have with me tonight!  The JIAN Lively Labs gacha collection is available at this round of The Arcade Gacha.  There are plenty of furry troublemakers to play for.  There are some that are static for décor, some that walk with you, some that wander and some you can even carry in your arms.  The rare walking companion on the ground beside me, spins around chasing his tail and digs in the dirt!  Too much fun.  At 50L per play, you’ll be pleased with whatever you get on your first pull!

Crushing Castles

I don’t know about you, but I think it’s just as much fun to crush the castles as it is to build them! It’s not like I go around smashing anyone elses… just the ones I make myself :).

In the midst of my castle demolition, I am showing off a fun beach casual outfit that includes the capri yoga pants and matching tank top by Lucky Charms that is available at this round of The Wash Cart Sale for just 10L.  I love the navy and yellow together and the dotty waistband is just too cute!

Soak Up The Sun

Greetings Fabulous Readers!  I know usually it is the outfit that is my free or under 75L feature in my posts but today – It’s my hair and shoes!

You can find this super sweet short summer hairstyle called Mao in a blondes pack by Elua at Kustom 9 as a free SLB13 gift (in the cake at Elua’s display).  If you happen to wear reds, you can find the red pack as a free gift at Collabor88.  If browns are more your thing, you can find the brown pack as a free gift at The Mens Dept.

I know these Fri.day Polly Sandals are a little hard to see under my dress in the photo above, so I have included their vendor ad below, but these flat sandals for Slink/Maitreya are available as a free SLB13 gift at Kustom 9 too in a wheat shade that will match with so many of your summer outfits!

ps. If you are digging my dress today, it’s not free… but if you feel like doing a little shopping – you can find the Aphorism Nicole Maxi Dress at this round of Collabor88 at a very affordable price 🙂

Deep Purple

Good morning Fabulouses!  Check out the new smoking hot new group gift dress at Stories & Co. by Flowey!  Hopefully when I showed off the last group gift at Stories & Co. by Flowey [HERE] a couple of weeks back, you joined and stayed in the group because you won’t want to miss out on the very sexy Lea Dress in purple that they just put out right beside the previous gift that is still available.

This dress is newly released and comes in Slink and Maitreya sizes as well as mesh XXS-M along with the co-ordinating alpha layer should you need it.

Why So Early Kittens?

Hey there FabFree readers!!  Today, as you can see…  I am up WAY too early tendng to the needs of my very needy kittens.  Why are they always up so early?  I wish I was a morning person…  Seriously, if I could wake up at 8:30 every day, that would be just fine with me :).  Work days, weekends, whatever – I think that’s a natural time for me to just wake up without alarms…  or cats.

These Witty Cats by the way, are available at this round of The Arcade Gacha by Mutresse for 50L per play.  There are several really funny/sassy cats to try your luck on.

I haven’t even had a chance to get dressed yet, but since I haven’t, I suppose I should tell you that this cute Flamingo Love Lingerie Set is available at Milk Tea as a free hunt prize for the Women Only Hunt!  The hunt icon you are looking for is a little coconut, and it’s really quite easy to find given the hint that you can pick up at the landing.  I’m including their vendor ad below so that you can see the full set up close.
I should also mention, since they fall under 75L that the items used to build the scene in my photos are mostly made up of items from the Dust Bunny Wanderlust Gacha Set (Arcade Gacha – 50L per play).  I have used the Hadera Caravan, Apothecary Cabinet, Belted Pillows and Bouquet Teacup.

The “Let’s Have a Good Day Coffee Tray” can be found in the FollowUs Marketplace store as a dollarbie!  If I am up anyways, I might as well eat and get on with my day, right? 🙂

TGIF & Siss Boom Weekend Specials

TGIF!!  It’s been a long week.  I sure wish I had a beautiful lake house in RL to escape to…  but I suppose a Second Life trip will have to do for now!

If you happen to have a few spare lindens kicking around this weekend, make sure you take a little trip to Siss Boom and check out the sales they have going on.  I popped in and picked up the high waisted floral printed Boyfriend Jeans for 60L and this great matching Jersey Lace Top (available in a system layer and Omega applier) in green for 55L.   These jeans come in both gold and silver belt options and I gotta say… the gold option matches the top to perfection.  Also – as this top is an applier, there is no interference with the mesh jeans as we sometimes see with mesh on mesh outfits.

I should mention my hair as well as it is also a smoking hot deal!  You can find the Oleander Chanmi Hair I am wearing at The Arcade Gacha for 50L per play.  This round is ending quickly, so if you like this hair – act fast!

Enjoy your weekend ❤
