Coming Soon

Hey Fabs! It’s been a long week, and I’m happy some rest time is coming soon. I have a quick post to hold you over until the weekend!

  • My shoes and socks are a group gift at MOoH! for members of the Third Life group. Their group currently costs 10L to join. These fit Lara, Physique, Hourglass, Freya, and Isis.
  • My cute hairstyle is one of the many group gifts at no.match. It comes in a full pack of colours. I love this casual short style. A one-time join fee of 50L is required to get all the gifts. Just TP to the huge gift room from the map at the landing point and you will find a room flooded with group gifts! It’s worth it, trust me. 😉

Enjoy, FabFree!

FabFree Designer Features: Vips Creations

Hey FabFree! It’s been a hot minute since I did a FabFree Designer Features post, but I’m back today with a feature on Vips Creations. Vips Creations specializes in women’s mesh clothing, and they have many elegant and beautiful designs to choose from.

FabFree Group Gift

The current FabFree group gift at Vips Creations is the Louissa outfit in silver and white. It includes a dress and shoes. Many outfits Vips Creations sells include an outfit and shoes combo, so it’s a lovely set. The FabFree group is always free to join. To join the group, copy and paste the following link into SL: secondlife:///app/group/020fa7af-444d-f54f-01e2-557ec06315fd/about.

Store Group

VIP Creations also has exclusive gifts for their VIP group. The group gifts change every couple of months. The group only costs 2L, so it’s a great investment. The current gift up on the wall is the “Karen Spring” outfit, which includes a dress with red poppies on it and red shoes.

Other Freebie Groups’ Gifts

There are a number of additional free gifts at Vips Creations, if you join various freebie groups posted near their VIP group gift. Below is a list of these groups’ gifts currently available with information about the groups. Most of these groups are free to join, but some of them have a small join fee. It is worth these small fees to get access to great gifts across the grid.

  • Fitmesh Fanatics Group Gift (Free to Join), Calla Wedding Dress

  • SLF&O Group Gift (Free to Join), Liza Shoes

  • DM Modas Group Gift (Free to Join), Meli Shoes

  • Mesh Avatar Appearance Maniacs (MAAM) Group Gift (50L to Join), Isabella Golden

  • Third Life Group Gift (10L to Join), Chloe Handbag – Leather Patchwork

Lucky Boards

VIP Creations also has many lucky boards to play at their store, and they are free for all to play (no group required). The lucky boards contain rotating prizes for Mesh and Classic avatars, so hopefully theres some free goodies in there for everyone!

Have a wonderful evening, FabFree!

Goddess Mode: On

kimini_002

Hey gang!

So sometimes you just want to feel like a Goddess.  Like you just came down to the ruins of the ancient world and have to power to make it all beautiful again.  Sometimes you simply find a dress that makes you *feel* like a goddess.  And sometimes, just sometimes…. that dress is free.  And you do a mad happy dance cause now you feel like a freaking goddess and it didn’t even cost you anything!  And then you start a lot of sentences with “and” even though you know you aren’t really supposed to but you feel like such a rebel and you really don’t care cause you are too busy happy dancing….  and then you think you need to come up for air, stop babbling like a lunatic (its a hobby) and tell everyone else how they too can feel like said goddess, for freaking free!

This is one of those times.

Kamiri has this gorgeous dress available as a free Third Life Group Gift.  This group is free to join making this gift totally free! (can’t say that happy word enough!) In fact, they have an entire area upstairs with free gifts!  Well worth the trip to the shop.  This dress fits:

  • Fitmesh
  • Hourglass
  • Maitreya
  • Slink
  • Classic

I absolutely love the detail on this and will be tucking this away for further wearing!  Bliss!

My Third Life

Coming Soon

Oh Happy Weekend, FabFree! I hope you’re all having fun. I have a quick post for this lovely Saturday. I know I do not often post here on a Saturday, but it’s a pleasure to post on this much-needed relaxing weekend.

Third Life

So my post today is about having a “Third Life”. I am talking about the freebie group in Second Life- which is called “THIRD LIFE”. The first time I heard about this group was in the first couple weeks I joined SL. I was confused… I have a Second Life, and now I can have a third? My second one is fun so I can’t wait to live my third life too! In all silliness, though, I have always found the group name mysterious. However, I’ve been a dedicated member of the group for years now. The Third Life Group only costs 10 L to join, and they have countless other gifts around Second Life to collect. The group join code is here:

secondlife:///app/group/22874c32-502f-f4d9-fbdc-97205dad4b13/about

Love Me Do

This cute tunic dress is the new Third Life Group Gift at Shanti. It’s super cute! I love the lilac colour and the pretty little pink hearts. This dress just puts you in a good mood and you can wear the tunic as a long top with leggings underneath too.

Sizes Included

  • Maitreya Lara
  • Legacy
  • Freya
  • Isis
  • Venus
  • Hourglass
  • Physique
  • The Mesh Project
  • Eve Slim & Pulpy
  • Altamura

That’s all for now! I’ll be back soon!

Different Drummer

Snapshot_021

As you might have noticed by now, I am an eclectic, off-center, quirky kinda girl.  The outfits I choose might not be the norm, or rather, the combinations I put together for outfits might not be the norm, but someone has to blog for the outcasts.  Those of us who walk to the beat of our own drummer and don’t fit in with the mainstream.

In Second Life as in real life, I’m kind of a loner.  I’m borderline hermit sometimes!  Only those who take the time to get to know me, get to see the quirky sparkle I keep hidden from most of the world.  I’m quite used to people looking at me like I am something that just dropped in from outer space that they aren’t quite sure if they approve of.  (ok that might be over use of the word “quite”).

I’ve never joined the throngs of people who hang out at clubs, or have big families in sl, I’ve mostly wandered by myself and being the way I am, its been good most of the time.  I’ve had those lonely moments we all get from time to time.

And until I became a part of fab free I’ve never had a group of friends in sl, oh sure I had a couple of short lived friends when I first started (2008!) but that was just for a couple of weeks because I worked as a dancer as a lot of us did when we started (and I was *terrible* at it and hated it!  I’m horrible at being phony) and that’s where I had the friends.

Now with Fab Free, I have a wonderful circle of ladies that I am so proud and honored to call my friends and sisters.  The awesome thing is, we are all sort of quirky and off center in our own ways and so we are all very accepting of one another.  It’s a very happy place for my soul.

I know I went off on a bit of a tangent there, but this outfit was an odd mix and it just got me thinking.  It’s an odd mix but I love the way it fits together.  I’m also a girl who loves hats in both worlds, and I loved these boots.  😉  But I know, shush now Arielle, quit rambling and tell us about the freebies n such!  ok ok!

Now back to our regularly scheduled program!

This cute dress I am sporting is a 1L find for the Around the Grid 9 Hunt created by Pearl’s Treasure Chest or PTC.  This hunt goes from July 13 to September 30 (I’m not ready for fall yet!!).  It fits:

  • Freya
  • Isis
  • Venus
  • Ebody Curvy
  • Maitreya
  • Hourglass
  • Physique

My boots are from MOoH! They are a free Third Life Group Gift and that group is 10L to join.  They fit:

  • Freya
  • Hourglass
  • Isis
  • Maitreya
  • Physique
  • Venus

I hope your Monday morning is going as well as can be expected gang!  I’ll be back with more fun freebies very soon!

Take a Little Trip

Take a little trip
Take a little trip, take a little trip
Take a little trip and see
Take a little trip, take a little trip
Take a little trip with me

~ Low Rider

It’s way too hot in Texas to stick around. Today, the temp on the car’s dashboard said it was 108 degrees! That’s Way. Too. Hot. Some I had to get away.Take a little trip… as it were.  Luckily, it’s always nice on the Grid. I even found a gorgeous SIM that’s based on the Highlands of Scotland… where even in the Summer… it’s nice and cool.

Take a little trip

I was also pleased to find a great free gift from V8 that is perfect for wandering the Highlands. This is the Roger Urban outfit and it’s free with your Third Life Group tag. To join the Thrid Life Group just click the poster and pay a small one time 10L and there you go. Now, when I say outfit… that’s the whole outfit. You get the sweater plus scarf, the trousers, the fedora and the sneakers. (There’s also a pair of sunglasses that I forgot to put on…) The mesh is a good solid build. I had no clipping issues and it moved well. The colors would be good for Fall or Winter. I have no idea how long this special will last so don’t delay.

Sizes Included

  • Belleza Jake
  • Signature – Gianni
  • SLink

Colder Than a Brass Toilet Seat in the Yukon

12-28-2017
…And that’s pretty darn cold

An arctic blast found it’s way to my part of the world this week and I have been experiencing sub-zero temperatures for the past few days.  I’ve done my best to stay inside, but there are times you just have to go out and brave the elements. I’m just glad my dog isn’t a fan of the cold either…

Wrap up and put a lid on it…

Today’s look is a mix of various gifts that are still available as of this posting. The David Sweatshirt by etham is a FREE gift at the Shop & Hop Sale and I was told it would be available until the end of the month. The sweatshirt comes with a texture HUD for different colors and comes fitted for the following body types:

  • Belleza
  • NX-Nardcotix
  • Signature
  • Slink
  • Standard
  • TMP

TheWinter Holiday Scarf is the current group gift at ::K::. This scarf comes rigged in both men’s and women’s sizes and adds color to any look. The ::K:: group is FREE to join. And to top it off, (pun intended) I found the Wish Newsboy Cap by Couture Chapeau as a FREE gift to members of The Menstuff Lounge. The cap includes a sizer to get the proper fit. The Menstuff group does have a 50L join fee for non members.

Now… could someone please throw another log or five on the fire? I’m FREEZING!!!

Sheer Days and Glitter Nights

Snapshot_002

If you are in need of a few sexy cocktail dresses for the month of September, [::FAX::] has you covered (or barely covered in the case of one of the dresses…). One is free and the other will only cost you 10L if you aren’t already a member of the Third Life Group. I think once you see these variations on the “little black dress” you’ll want them both!

Sheer Days!

The September group gift from [::FAX::] is sheer… and absolutely beautiful and pictured above. The [::FAX::] group is free to join making this gorgeous black wrap dress with the slim waistline belt free to pick up. It is sheer lace that somehow manages to give just enough coverage to keep things PG-13 with daisy accents and little rhinestones in the center of the daisies. This is a dress that goes zero to sexy in a nano-second and comes in all your favorite mesh sizes!

Sizes available:

  • Fitmesh sizes XS – L
  • TMP
  • eBody
  • Ocacin
  • Maitreya – Lara
  • Tonic – Curvy & Fine
  • Slink – Hourglass & Physique
  • Belleza – Freya, Isis, & Venus

Glitter nights

Right next to the regular [::FAX::] group gift, is their Third Life Group Gift offering. It is just as lovely and is the glitter mini dress in the wrap style pictured above. The picture doesn’t do it justice as it has a lovely shimmery texture that really does seem to glitter.

If you’re not a member of the Third Life Group, the group will only cost you 10L to join, and it gives you access to gifts in stores across the grid, making it well worth the tiny fee. This dress also comes in a variety of sizes to suit your needs!

Sizes available:

  • Fitmesh sizes XS – L
  • TMP
  • eBody
  • Ocacin
  • Maitreya – Lara
  • Tonic – Curvy & Fine
  • Slink – Hourglass & Physique
  • Belleza – Freya, Isis, & Venus

A garden in my backyard!

Save me a flower_001

I planted a little garden in my backyard! Complete with a trellis and flowers and it has a pretty stained glass finish! Better yet, it’s a free gift that I’m going to tell you about along with my outfit!

Get my dress!

I picked up my dress at Monomania when I stopped by there to check out the current gifts. There are many gifts currently at the main-store, including the store’s group gifts as well as gifts associated with other groups such as our very own FabFree group as well as this dress I picked up, which is a Third Life Group Gift. The Third Life group costs just 10L to join and gets you gifts at many stores across the grid… like this pretty pink dress called “Candy” at Monomania!

Sizes available:

  • Standard sizes XS – XL
  • Fitmesh sizes XS – XL
  • Slink
  • Maitreya
  • Belleza

Shoes too!

I wandered back to Lindy Modern & Retro after having stopped by the other day. Discovering all those 1L shoe hunts had me excited, and I was sure I could find a pair of shoes to match my new dress. I was right! The pretty pink pair of shoes you see in my picture includes fits for classic, Maitreya and Slink feet and are only 1L as part of the Summer Diaries Hunt. Pick them up at the Lindy Modern & Retro Shoe Store before the end of the month!

Planting flowers.

Finally… my garden centerpiece! This beautiful garden trellis by Crys Secret Garden is a free gift exclusive for FabFree group members. As always, your FabFree group is free to join. Don your FabFree tag and teleport to Crys Secret Garden to pick up this pretty trellis for your back (or front) yard. It weighs in at only 8 prim and includes many beautiful flowery details!
