Hi There Fab Free! Happy Weekend! The weather has been nice, and I’m ready to go for a drive! First, I’ve got a few things I’m excited to share with you today.

Secondly, this summery bandeau style top by De’Fient Unicorn is just 1 linden at ther Spring Cart Sale cart.

The Car – I’m not even sure where to start with this gorgeous vehicle. There are so many cool features. This isn’t just a piece for show, this highly detailed car by Surplus Motors is fully functional. There are seating poses for a driver and a passenger, and the car has manual and automatic drive options. The driver and passenger doors open, as does the hood and the back trunk where the engine is, even the lights are functional. This 10 linden RFL H&G Expo Hunt prize has customization options as well, there are 5 preset colors, and the option to pick your own custom color using RGB values. You can also change the license plate, and so much more. There’s an entire notecard included in the folder for this Lucca Custom car by Surplus Motors that tells you all about each of the many many features. To get your copy of this amazing car, head over to the RFL Home & Garden Expo (sim 5) to the Surplus Motors area. You’ll be looking for a prim version of the round RFL H&G Expo Logo.

The Top – Perfect for a warm weather day, this fishnet bandeau top is just 1 linden at the Spring Cart Sale De’Fient Unicorn cart. This cute dollarbie comes in several sizes, and includes an alpha layer. You know what that means, this one is suitable for classic non-mesh avatars as well as mesh avatars. No groups or tags needed, just head over to the De’Fient Unicorn cart and pay the gift vendor 1 linden.

Christmas Fireside

Hello hello Fab Free’rs! Gosh, can you believe Christmas is almost here?! I swear I’m missing a whole week somewhere. lol The good news is if you’re still in need of some holiday decor, and a big beautiful fully decorated tree, MarmeladnyGirl has you covered with their current group gift. Also, I said before I was going to spend the month of December mostly in pajamas. Thankfully the Moondust Cart Sale booth is helping me do just that! Also for today’s post, what better way than in pajamas to show off new full body ink? This cool tattoo is by Vegas Tattoo, and won’t break the bank. Keep reading for all the info about these Fabulous finds.

Christmas Tree, Fireplace, and More – I’m always in awe of incredibly generous group gifts. The current group gift at MarmeladnyGirl is just that, incredibly generous. Not to mention these items are really nice! The gift comes with the Christmas tree shown, the fireplace with garland and twinkle lights, the Love sign, and the rug with “Merry Christmas” pillows. Also included but not pictured are a cute little snowman figure, and a plate of delicious looking cakes. Each of these items is able to be copied, and can be resized.  To get your package from MarmeladnyGirl just head over to their shop and join the in world group. There is a one time join fee of 50 linden. Then click the gift vendor while wearing your group tag.

Pajamas – I’m not sure if this flannel and matching panties really counts as pajamas, but this is definitely something I’d wear to bed, so it counts in my book! This matching set is one of the 10 linden items at the Moondust Cart Sale booth. This cute set comes in many sizes and the items can be worn together or separately.
Sizes Included: Maitreya Lara, Belleza (Isis, Freya, Venus), Tonic (Curvy, Fine), Slink (Physique, Hourglass)

Tattoo – This tattoo by Vegas Tattoos is a genuinely full body tattoo, it even has hand tattoos. It is a unisex tattoo so gentlemen, you can rock this tattoo also. Each of the appliers have a dark, medium, or light option, and there are several applier types included. Even better, this tattoo is available on the Marketplace for just 1 linden.

Just a Delicate Snowflake

Hello dear Fab Free’rs! It’s been a minute since I said thank you for being here, so thank you so much! Really, there’d be no point to the Fab Free blog without you. That said, I’m happy I get to be here too! I still cannot get over how much there is going on this Holiday Season. I don’t know why, it is probably like this every year, but each year it always seems pleasantly overwhelming. So many gifts and inexpensive finds, so little time! haha Yep, it’s a good problem to have. For today’s post I picked up a few gifts at Redeux and I couldn’t resist another stop at The Cart Sale. As always, I’ll have all the information below.

P.S. Redeux ends on the 21rst so don’t wait! 

The Romper – This little black romper with ruffled shorts is the free Redeux group gift by The Forge. Simply wear your Redeux group tag and click the gift waiting at The Forge’s event booth. The Redeux group is free to join if you’re not a member. This cute little number comes in a single unlabeled mesh size. It fit Pru’s Maitreya Lara body almost perfectly, so that would be my “size” guess.

The Facial Piercings – Axix also has a gift at this round of Redeux. Their free gift is this set of unique triangle shaped facial piercings positioned below the eyes and under the lower lip. They come in the gold color shown, and can be resized and positioned. I would definitely consider them to be a unisex accessory. Again you will need the Redeux group tag to get this gift.

The Snowflake Tattoos – These pretty snowflake upper body tattoos are one of 10 linden items available at The Cart Sale by InnerJoy Love Tattoos. The tattoo comes in an Omega applier, a Maitreya applier, and a classic system tattoo layer. I love when designers continue to include classic layers with their applier products!

Here are the details, enjoy!

Keep Calm

Hello Fab Free’rs! Does any one know what day it is? I am feeling the hectic side of the holidays and sometimes I don’t know if I am coming or going! Luckily I have you guys, some good friends, and a cup of hot tea to remind me to slow down a minute and relax. I also get to take the time to share with you more fantastic Cart Sale finds and a fun addition from the Holiday Ho Ho Ho hunt.

The Sweater & Boots – Even my shoes are telling me to be calm today! These boots by De’Fient Unicorn are available at The Cart Sale and the best part (in my opinion) is the message on the sole of the shoe. It reads “Keep Calm and Activate Unicorn Power.” These shoes come in Maitreya and Slink sizes, and include a color change hud with 5 preset options. Also at the De”Fient Unicorn Cart Sale booth is this pretty playful sweater dress. I chose to wear it with jeans because, baby it’s cold outside! It comes in several mesh sizes and has a texture change hud with 5 patterned/graphic options to choose from. Also, this item has an alpha layer and is suitable for classic avatars!

Sweater Sizes Included: Maitreya Lara, Ebody, TMP, Fitmesh (XS-XL), Model M, Belleza (Isis, Freya, Venus) Ocacin, Tonic (Curvy, Fine), Slink (Physique, Hourglass)

The Headband – This cute pink wire reindeer antler headband is one of several 5 linden Holiday Ho Ho Ho hunt prizes at Oleander. Each of the 5 prizes includes 2 head accessories. There are two types of headbands, and fuzzy earmuffs to be found. You just need to find the “hidden in plain sight” little blue stars at the Oleander shop. I added a copy of the Holiday Ho Ho Ho hunt key for Oleander below. Happy Hunting!

As you know, The Wash is having their seasonal Cart Sale and as always there are tons of big bargains. Today I am pleased to share with you some of the Cart Sale finds by a shop called KK Home. If you’re looking for some Christmas decor with a bit of country flair, you’ll definitely want to stop by the KK Home booth.

Everything aside from the chair Pru is seated in is available for next to nothing at the KK Home Cart Sale booth. The little red wood burner is probably my favorite of the items offered. I think the details are just beautiful. Also available at the KK Home booth are the stack of wood, the pine cone wreath, the nutcracker, and the wooden Christmas tree decoration. Most of the items are just 10 linden each, however the wood burner is 50 linden.

Here are the details, happy decorating!

Festive Fashion and Holiday Treats

Hello and happy weekend Fab Free’rs! Oh My Goodness! This December really is the month that just keeps on giving. It’s almost impossible to keep up with all the gifts, hunts, sales, and advents happening. Speaking of sales, the Cart Sale has started at The Wash sim. For all the details about this season’s Cart Sale, check out the announcement post Love did here.  For this post I’m happy to share with you one of the Cart Sale items by CroM. I also picked up a couple of holiday goodies at Sam’s Nails. Keep reading for all the info.

The Sweater Dress – This sweet little sweater dress is one of the 10 linden items by CroM at The Cart Sale. It is super cute on and comes in several sizes. You won’t want to miss this perfect for the holiday season sweater and all the other inexpensive finds at the CroM booth at The Cart Sale. Not into red, no worries, the dress has a color change hud with an equally cute and festive green option.  Also, this sweater dress includes an alpha layer and sizes suitable for classic non-mesh avatars!
Sizes Included: Standard Mesh (xs-XL), Maitreya Lara, Slink (Physique, Hourglass), TMP, Belleza (Isis, Venus, Freya), EBody, Tonic (Curvy, Fine)

The Holiday Goodies – Just on a whim I stopped by a little shop called Sam’s Nails. I’m certainly glad I did, not only are they having 12 days of advent gifts, there are several group gifts available. This hold-able mug full of holiday cheer is one of the several current group gifts. Also, the gingerbread man with his own hold animation is the Day 13 Advent gift at Sam’s Nails. What I like about these is the hold animation is set with a high priority so it should work with most Animation Overrides.  Both the advent gifts, and the group gifts require the Sam’s Nails group tag. There is a join fee of 150 linden. Also, the previous day’s Advent gifts are still available for free with the group tag.

Here are the details, enjoy!

Queen of the broken hearts

So tomorrow is the last day of the Cart Sale at The Wash. But don’t panic, you still have the rest of today and tomorrow to go wander around and buy as many 10L things as possible. And don’t forget to grab the freebies that are available at many of the carts as well. I’m playing my favorite game – “how many free/discounted items can Allison wear at once?” It’s a super fun game because I always win! Today I’ve managed to show you three more cart sale items. Each one will only set you back 10L.

inSanity

My lipstain is made for Genus heads but fits fine on my Catwa head as well. There are 7 different shades available, all as Omega appliers. They’re all really nice, wearable shades.

Vicarious Youth

This cute layered top is from Vicarious Youth. I love the graphic and there are a few others to choose from as well. There are no fitted sizes, just 5 classic sizes L-XXS but I had no trouble wearing it with a few alpha cuts.

Sin Original

And then there are these sweet jeans. they come with a HUD so you can change them to 5 different patterns/solid colors. There are also sizes for:

• Belleza Freya, Isis, and Venus
• Maitreya
• Slink Hourglass and Physique
• Tonic Curvy and Fine

Sleeping to dream about you

No, this isn’t a fall post. It’s still summer. It will be summer forever in SL. Forever! …But I guess this is kind of a fall post. I can’t help it, when designers make such lovely autumn themed things! I’ve got lots of great things to tell you about today, including a super cute group gift and some items from the cart sale!

No shoes!

I love cute little foot accessories like this. That way I can kind of sort of appear fully dressed, but still not be wearing shoes! Win-win. Also, they’re so pretty! I got the foot jewels that I’m wearing here as a free group gift from KC Couture. They come rigged for Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink and with a HUD so they can be customized. There are LOTS of color options for the cords and tassels and then a handful of metallic tones for the chain. The KC group is only 25L to join and there is a wall in the store with a bunch of group gifts that are all really nice. I really should wear them more often, if only I could be bothered to wear shoes…

Short Dress

How could this possibly be a fall post if I’m not wearing shoes or any article of clothing past my thighs? My fabulous sweater dress is by JellyRoll and I got it for 10L from the cart sale at The Wash. There are 8 autumn hues to choose from and each is 10L. It comes sized for:

• Freya
• Hourglass
• Isis
• Mara
• Physique
• TMP
• Venus
• 5 classic sizes, XXS-L

Okay fine, the bench is definitely fall…

I’m not much of a decor blogger so I’m not sure how much justice I’ve done this bench, but it’s really cute! It is another find at The Wash, this time from Tylar’s Treasures, and priced at just 10L for the cart sale. The pose that I’m using did not come with it, the only poses included are couples poses and since it’s just me I obviously couldn’t use those. There are brightly colored autumn leaves scattered about on the ground in front of it and on the sides and I just love the arbor across the top.

Great stuff, right? Totally worth embracing fall. ❤
