So, this months photo challenge theme is ‘What are you thankful for’, and for me, that was a pretty easy answer. I am thankful for my family, specifically my Mom, Shelly :) So, I asked her to pose with me in a post, and she agreed!
Now, first thing you will notice, we are both wearing the same skirt, funny thing is, this actually happens a lot, both in RL and in SL. While our tastes in clothing are not exactly the same, we do agree on many pieces. So we thought it would be fun to show 2 different looks based on 1 piece we both have in common. Lucky for you all, the Savannah high-waisted skirt from Tee*fy is available on the Marketplace, for only L$1!
For my Mom’s more sophisticated look, she was able to bring in a few other pieces that I wanted to bring to your attention. First, her SLink feet shoes from Gypsy Chic, which are L$55 per play at a gacha at the current round of The Thrift Shop. As well, her purse, and the cross necklace, which are both part of the Danger Danger full outfit from Rose Marine, which is on the Marketplace for L$55. As you can see, bargain finding runs in the family.
My punky, eclectic look, was pulled together with a great Marketplace find in my top, which is from {the.outhouse}, and is only L$25. The stack of bracelets I am wearing is another Marketplace find, and even better, are free!. Lastly, my super cute, and bright, clutch from Emporium, is also in a gacha at The Thrift Shop, and is only L$15 per play. It also happens to be a gift from my Mom…wasn’t that nice? Not really, that colour yellow is not a favourite of hers :P .
It’s funny, as I was trying to pick a pose for us, when we hopped on the one we settled on, my Mom said it looked just like when I am trying to drag her to do some shopping. See, SL and RL can be so similar to one another. LOL!
Before I leave, I just wanted to say thank you to my wonderful Mom, Shelly Macchi, who is always there for me, both in RL and in SL, even if she did take longer to put her outfit together than I did!
Alright everyone, I hope you have a wonderful evening, and until next time, TTFN *waves*

Have I mentioned, in the last two minutes, how much I LOVE Easter? I remember when I was a little kid and my grandmother would put together these amazing Easter baskets…filled with all kinds of goodies…and I got to wear something pretty! Today I am showing you an adorable little FREE *Happy Easter!* dress from *TuttiFrutti*. I love that this dress isn’t your usual Easter attire, with bunnies and such, the overlapping circle design and muted colors give it a retro feel and it’s FREE!
Of course, I had to go hunting to find all kinds of fun accessories and boy did I score! The fabulous Mesh Mobile Phone (with HUD) is only 1L from ::No Cabide::; on the Marketplace. The phone does not come with a hold animation or pose…however, the HUD gives you six great texture options for the case…now that’s a pretty sweet deal for only 1L! My “teeth” are actually an applier [:T:] Parted Lips Tattoo Layers [FREE] from [:Tuli:] on the marketplace. There are 7 layers which vary how much of your “teeth” are showing…and absolutely FREE!
The super fun jewelry is from CHOP ZUEY COUTURE JEWELLERY… the multi colored bangles are a FREE gift for Fabulously Free (no group required)…and you add each bangle separately; so you can easily mix and match to your heart’s desire! The necklaces are also attached individually and come with color coordinating earrings. The necklace and earring sets are also FREE with the 250L group join. Saving up the linden to join this group has paid off 100 fold…Belle Roussel is incredibly generous to her group members…thank you Belle! <3
My hair is one of the current lucky board prizes (no group required), Asami, from **D!va** Hair. This hair has two bang options, bun on or off option, AND a ponytail you can add! My nail appliers, Summer Skies, from Ch’Know are only 20L (fingernails and toenails sold separately) on their Marketplace store. The Happy Easter Bag Dollarbie is only 1L from MDL on the Marketplace.
These gorgeous shoes, Seattle, are available at the Comic Fashion Fair, from Essenz. The SLURL is a forced landing point so you will need to search for the store once you land. The shoes are compatible for Slink Mid Feet and, once you find the brightly colored gift package, they will cost one whole linden (1L)! Now THAT’S as sweet as jellybeans!
Happy Easter and stay Fabulously Free! <3<3

In celebration of two years here in Second Life, ColdLogic sent out a gorgeous mesh gift out to their subscribomatic members! When I saw the anniversary2014 dress come through yesterday in the lovely shades of ocean and berry, I sent Serena a message and asked her if she would hop into my picture so we could show off both. Thank you for your help Serena! We do look adorable don’t we? ;)
Along with the dresses came news of a photo contest you may be interested in submitting for as well as a storewide sale (50% off the entire line until 02.26.14). If you are not a current subscriber, simply visit the store and subscribe – you’ll be sent the gift and information about the photo contest and sale too!
Hello fabulous readers! Tonight I bring you two more gifts from the Peace on Earth Hunt. This beautiful dress is the POE6 gift from Ever An’ Angel. I love the snowflakes on the hem, and the way the taffeta glistens in the light. I think you’ll like the sexy, low cut in the back, too. ;-) My pose is the day #9 advent gift from Picture This! Poses. But no worries; all the gifts from previous days are still available, so be sure you head over and pick them all up!
My pretty Sideways Peace Necklace is the POE6 gift from Addiction Jewelry. It comes with both diamond ocean tanzanite stones.
First, let me begin with an apology, and by telling you that I’m 40L over budget in this post. :oops: I’ve been battling a nasty case of insomnia for several nights, and it’s seriously making me loopy! I wandered over to !Rebel Hope Designs a couple of days ago, and saw this gorgeous Ginger Special Edition Fall Gown on an easel outside the shop. I absent-mindedly clicked on it, thinking, “Wow, what an amazing free gift this is!” Well… I was half right. It truly is amazing, but free… it is not. When I went back tonight to make sure it was still available, I discovered the gown is actually 50L – DOH! <me/facepalm> That’ll teach me to shop on virtually no sleep! But even at 50L, this is one beautiful dress, sure to make you the hit of your Thanksgiving gathering or other fall event! It also comes with a matching clutch purse, which, of course, I forgot to show you. …sighs…
Thankfully, I did get these two items right. The huge rock on my finger is also from !Rebel Hope Designs, and really IS free (I checked)! It’s got a little fall leaf on it, and is perfect for your autumn proposal, guys (hint, hint). ;-) Look for the gift box outside the store, next to the Ginger gown. Also free are my earrings, which you can find in a gift box at Virtual Impressions.
I’m off to drink some warm milk, watch a really boring TV show, and pray for sleep before I injure my self or others… sweet dreams!
Hey Fabulouses! Since it was a cold and snowy Sunday for me, I decided to stay in where it’s nice and warm and challenge myself to find some awesome free(ish) skins for you! Now, many of these skins have been shown here by either myself or the other Fabulous Bloggers, but there are a few surprises, and it may be handy to see them all in one place! In January I did a round up of 40 skins (which you can see here), and I had initially challenged myself to find 50 this time, and then it went up to 75, and in the end I managed to come up with a whopping 85! I am fairly confident that I could have even found 150 if I had more time, but alas it was back to work for me today (Monday), so 85 will have to do! Grab a cup of coffee, it’s gonna be a long ride, and ENJOY!
Now at the risk of making this blog hogging post even longer, I need to mention that there are SO many more places to find free(ish) skins that I either didn’t have time to wait for lucky boards, or there was a group with a join fee that I wasn’t already in. Please do not limit all of the free(ish) skins in SL to this list – they are EVERYWHERE ;) Some other shops I know that have free skins as either lucky board prizes or group gifts (w/ join fees) are Rockberry, Story Leaf, Liliskins, and La Petite Morte. There are also free skins at FabFree Headquarters and The WomenStuff Lounge!
ps. Juliette, it was a pleasure to meet you at Aeva while I was grabbing a slurl. I am sorry I was in my underwear! (so classy / FAIL!) Isn’t it cute though? This Tina Roses & Black Lacey Panties Set is a free Jewels Isle Hunt gift at Blacklace and my I <3 U Necklace is a free group gift at Sweet Leonard (80L to join).
Hello Fabulouses! I’m leaving on RL business for the rest of this week, but before I go, I wanted to share a quick look with you. My dress is the October group gift from Sascha’s Designs. Sascha’s is 100L to join, but there is a new, gorgeous dress offered as a group gift every month, and often petite sizes are included. Oh, and my pose is another in the pack from HopScotch available at the Poser Pavilion.
This dainty, leaf necklace is The Autumn Effect Hunt gift from Atooly. TAEH lasts until October 15th, and all prizes are free (0L). You’ll be looking for a little, wooden disk with an autumn leaf on it.
Have a wonderful first week of October, and I’ll see you next week! :-)
2 – 4 – 6 – 8! Who do we appreciate? Fabulous FabFree Designers! YAY!
Just in time for football season, Denise Beck Creations has put this A-W-E-S-O-M-E cheerleader outfit out as a gift at FabFree Headquarters. The outfit includes everything you see here: mesh sweater and skirt, sneakers, and pom-poms. Just wear your Fabulously Free in SL group tag and give the vendor a slap so you can give a cheer, too! :-D
The other freebie here is my “parted lips,” which you can pick up for 0L from [:Tuli:]. 7 different tattoo layers are included, and no group tag is required. Also free on the Marketplace here.
P.S. I’d like to thank the ladies of the SL Cheerleading Squad, who were patient with me while I took this picture in their stadium. :-)

Serena is wearing…
Skin – Glam AffairCleo America (not free / store closed for renovation)
Heading to a party or just looking to grab the attention of a certain special someone? I guarantee you will not be missed in this smokin’ hot number, Venti Cup Two, the latest gift from Paris METRO Couture at Sydney City. And what you see here is not all you get; there’s another row of sexy slits right down the backside! Sssssizzle! ;-)
My pearl jewelry by Dark Mouse is a free gift at FabFree Headquarters, and comes in black, pink, and white. They’ve been shown here at FF by numerous bloggers, which just goes to show you that a great set of pearls really goes a long way! My hair is the latest release from D!va for Collabor88 (188L). It comes in 2 styles with a color change rose and headband.
Why, yes I DO like to walk around town with a rainbow-colored unicorn bear. Doesn’t everyone? ;-)
Actually, my cute, little friend here is helping me show off some of the great freebies to be found at Seraphim Headquarters as part of the Seraphim Turns Two birthday celebration. I made it over there about a month or so ago, but I haven’t had a chance to get back again until recently. And guess what? All the great gifts are STILL THERE! In addition to my Pooki Bear friend, you can also pick up FIVE different dresses by Liv-Glam, including this sexy number, which is HUD driven and comes in 6 different pantone colors (Love showed another of the dresses here). You do have to join the Seraphim in-world group, but it’s free, so no worries. My shoes by *BOOM* are not free, but are a great deal for 88L at Collabor88… hurry though, because the new round starts in just a couple of days!
This gorgeous jewelry set is the current group gift from Virtual Impressions (free to join). And my mani/pedi? Another gift at Seraphim HQ, this time from Flair. Eight different colors are included for fingers and toes so you can match. Lots of great gifts at Seraphim HQ, so don’t miss out! :-D
