Sending a Big Hug & Kiss!

I’ve seen it rainin’ fire in the sky
The shadow from the starlight is softer than a lullabye

-Rocky Mountain High, John Denver

Hihi Faboo Peeps!

There are so many fun hunts and events going on right now on the grid, a girl (or a guy!) barely knows where to turn!  That’s when you turn to good old reliable Fab Free.  We work as a kick arse team scoping out the freebies and dealios to make it easier for y’all!

But I digress.

One of the hunts happening right now is at Shanti.  You search for 10 items, 2L each, and all exclusive to this hunt.  Items are both inside the store and out in the mall.  You are looking for a mesh XO (hugs and kisses symbol).  I am wearing one of the items you can find in the hunt, I absolutely love the bohemian style of these dresses.  This outfit fits:

• Hourglass
• Freya
• EBody
• Maitreya
• Legacy
• Venus
• Fine
• Curvy
• Physique
• Isis

The hunt runs until the 21st, so you have plenty of time to find everything.  There is also a key for the hunt posted in the store.

Little April Shower

Drip, drip, drop
Little April shower
Beating a tune
As you fall all around
Drip, drip, drop
Little April shower
What can compare
To your beautiful sound

Little April Shower – Walt Disney’s Bambi

The best thing about April showers is that they help make everything bloom green and bright.  I do love a cozy rainy day and because I grew up in a place that has a lot of thunderstorms, I especially love a good thunder and lightning storm.    Where I live now, we rarely have them and I do miss them.  A good rainy, stormy day can be very cozy and a chance to snuggle in with a good book and something hot to drink.  However, where I live now, we can get a good 7-10 days with grey skies, no sun and and no fun storms.  Boo!  I do not like *that* kind of grey weather.

If it’s Gonna Rain…

If it’s gonna rain, it’s best to be prepared.  As a one time Girl Scout (I hated it.  lol  I was the only one who had a mom who made her wear the *entire* uniform to every meeting!), I was taught to be prepared.  As a FabFree Blogger, I am taught to be fashionable without breaking the bank.  Case in point, these super adorbs boots from MOoH!.  These are from a 50L Gacha (Key below) which has soooo many cute boots.  I chose the Shabby Chic to go with my outfit.

Of Course You’re Gonna Need an…

Umbrella!  Mine comes from LISP Bazaar for only 10L on marketplace!  It has a series of poses with a texture change umbrella for each!  The poses are all adorable.

So now I am gonna take myself in outta the rain and make some yummy comfort food for dinner…. more soon gang!

Rainy Saturday

Today is the last day to swing by The Gacha Garden for your FREE GIFTS!! There are so many to choose from I couldn’t help myself with this lovely Pink Cat Umbrella from YOKAI. It came in handy when the sky opened up as the sun set on Saturday Night. It is too cute for you not to go grab it if you haven’t had a chance to go snag it!

Highlighting the umbrella is the cute little honey b from !dM, another FREE GIFT from The Gacha Garden event!! It comes in three colors that complement their gacha set at the event. I opted for the bubblegum pink to match the look for the day. So cute!

The hair!! Oh, ladies, we love our wigs, don’t we?! Ayashi didn’t fail us this round with the Mikarin Hair, the last of the FREE GIFT items featured in this post from The Gacha Garden event. Again, I went with the pinks because, well why not?! It was a lovely POP of color for the day and made me smile. The hair comes in Rigged and Unrigged Versions, 8 preset color options, and a tinter.

Just Call Me Wednesday

Hello Fab Free’rs! I am always happy you’re here. So I’m just going to come out and say it, I call this look “when you’re goth af but you love the beach.” It’s true, I do love the beach and I certainly have my goth girl moments. There isn’t anything about this look, parasol and all, that I don’t love. I feel like a grown-up Wednesday Addams on summer holiday. The parasol, this killer swimsuit, and the gorgeous heels are all fabulous free or otherwise inexpensive finds. Keep reading and I’ll tell you the where and how of getting each one.

The Parasol – I found this adorably goth parasol by Kaos on the Marketplace for just 20 linden. It is just as you see though it is difficult to see the slightly speckled texture in this photo. The hold pose is built in, and it has resize scripts. I was even able to use the parasol with another pose and the parasol’s hold pose still worked. You can get your copy of this darkly cute parasol from the Kaos store on the Marketplace. Other colors are available also.

The Bikini – When I saw the ad for this bikini from Kenodoxy, I had one of those “I need that” kind of reactions. It is every bit as cute on as it was in the vendor photo. The swimsuit is a free group gift at Kenodoxy. It comes in several mesh sizes. The Kenodoxy group is free to join, so no reason to miss out on this awesome gift.
Mesh Sizes Included: Maitreya Lara, Slink (Hourglass, Physique), TMP, Belleza (Freya, Isis, Venus), Tonic (Curvy, Fine)

The Shoes – Those shoes though! I love everything about these free group gift shoes from VO.Z. The straps that wide around your calves are made to look like rose stems or vines. I think it makes them all the prettier. These shoes have a color change hud that lets you change the color of the heel, straps, the leaves, and the rose separately. To get your pair, head over to VO.Z and join the free-to-join VO.Z group.

Here are the details, enjoy!

Parasol w/hold – [Kaos] Cooky Parasol – Black – 20L on the Marketplace
Hair – RunAway – [RA] Wicca Hair – Grayscale
Head – CATWA HEAD Koura Bento

A grey and rainy spring day

So spring has finally sprung… and, in my neck of the woods, it has been a rainy, soggy, wet, and icky couple of days… although the weather seems to be improving, and if where you live is anything like where I live, then you might need some wellies, a cute outfit, and a fun umbrella! Luckily, MTC has us covered with their newest midnight mania gift!

The spring shower outfit includes a cute sweater dress in 2 different styles, a pair of black leggings, a black long-sleeve top, wellies, and even a cute umbrella! While the outfit does come with an umbrella, I can never resist breaking out an umbrella from Remarkable Oblivion when it rains! I previously showed another of their umbrellas [HERE], but I just love them too much to not keep showing them!

Just in case you’re not quite sure what “wellies” are, here’s a shot of them! Aren’t they just darling?

Katatonik – Stringer – M&R Cupcakes – Wings of Angel – Angelwing – MAc

M & R Cupcakes, owned by Mimi Coral and Rosemary Galbraith, has sent out another adorable group gift: Plush Skins – Headcold (well, if my RL-avi would look so cute while having a cold ….. my dear! I would be more than grateful *LOL*) My SL-avi is grateful to be pleased with M & R Cupcakes` “Headcold Skin” in vista, apricot, cioccolato, piper and tamarind (each skin tone comes with a freckled and none freckled version). Worn in my pic is Plush Skin-Headcold vista freckled.

I´ve already mentioned that M & R Cupcakes Update Group isn´t free to join but worth every single linden. Join fee is … uhm … is …. 200 L or 250 L … not sure right now, sorry :-))

Helena Stringer, owner of Stringers`Mausoleum & Shrine, was so generous to leave a freebie box for all of us (next the subscribe-o-matic) including the lovely Bellazane hair in 8 colors. In my pics I´m wearing it in black and passionberry tipped.

Inside Katatonik`s store at Juicy Bella I´ve found a dollarbie: Rina Dress Pink – isn´t it cute like a button? 🙂 Look at the back! Rina Dress comes with top, pants, skirt and stockings. For those of you who don´t know Katatonik, there´s  also a lot of wonderful dollarbies at Katatonik`s main store @Axis Mundi.

The pretty Kimono Dress by Wings of Angel I won on a Lucky Board at Toyosu 161, 101, 4000. There are lots of Lucky Boards, changing the letters every 5 minutes or so ……. good chance to win some goodies as this Kimono Dress, or hair, scarf, bracelets, drawings, shoes and so on. Check it out!

Kimono Dress comes with top, pants, skirt, cuffs, obi, boots and parasol. It`s very pretty, wearing it I feel like a japanese Mary Poppins.  And I like this feeling a lot 🙂

UPDATE!! Sadly, the Lucky Boards have vanished in the sky or elsewhere …. I´m not sure if this is one of today`s “bugs”,  or the owner has decided to remove them … all I can say is sorry 😦

Next lovely dollarbie dress – it´s called “darker set” – is a design by  Angelwing Fashion. This dress comes  with top, pants, skirt, stockings, armbands, and shoulder clasp. Pretty pretty, huh? 🙂

Worn in all pics are Loli sweet shoes (free) by MAc, a pair of shoes you should have in your inventory, in my humble opinion ,-)

Grab your goodies and enjoy! Thanks to all generous designers 🙂

UPDATED: I AM FROM AUSTRIA thanks GaZoV DeSiGnS & S.Y.D.

Finally, I have to do it *sighs* Blame it all on Greta Gazov! 😉

Well, right now this “football-soccer-championship-thingy” is going on here in my hometown Vienna. Honestly, I´m not interested in any sports at all and I´m not familiar with European Football (it´s boring ….. and our guys are …. uhm *coughs*). If you want to know more details about it, please ask Greta Gazov, or my hubby *grin*

Greta was so kind to drop me her “football stuff”, thanks a lot! I´m doing this post only for the reason I love love love Greta`s umbrellas (parasols), and because I´m from Austria, of course *smiles*

Tp over to Greta`s store GaZoV DeSiGnS Isla del Mar 128, 162, 28 and you will find 5 boxes: GOAL contains purse and parasol in white, black and green and matching bangles. GoGER (Germany), GoNETH (Netherlands), GoAUS (Austria) and GoSW (SWISS) have parasols, hair flowers and bangles inside, matching the regional colors of the countries. Hmmm, looks good although you are not a fan of any sports 🙂

Also there´s a cute teddy as group gift 🙂 Go to “all” tab in search, use the phrase “gazov”, it´s the 3th choice, join the group (free), go to notices, click the one dated 5/30/2008, subject “group gift”. Save attachment, you are now proud owner of a box with cute teddies in many colors from GaZoV DeSiGnS.

The top I´m wearing is the free StarTop-light red by Sams Secrets, Bara 211, 130, 22. Sams Secrets always offers pretty items! Pants are part of four YIP´s (always free!) Black&White Suit outfit.

Done! But let me insert Greta Gazov´s notecard *grin grin grin*. Oh, and take a look at her blog 🙂

“The rest of the world might not care very much but here in Europe we’re getting prepared for the Euro 2008, the European football championship and of course we are helping you to get into the right mood. We have made a set of three purses (black, green and white) and matching parasols that poof little footballs as well as two sets of bangles in black and white. Also available in our store but only until the German team drops out of the competition. No German win – no freebie, it’s that easy 🙂 Goaaaaaaal”

“Even more cutsie football stuff has arrived in our store now. We have prepared some special fan sets for Germany, our wonderful host countries Austria & Switzerland as well as for our Dutch neighbors – well, they should know why we suddenly love them so much *grins broadly*. All sets are available for zero Lindens and wil be up for grabs until the end of the championship. We wish our neighbors good luck in the ongoing competition.”

Sorry for the long post but I also have to show you what SySy Chapman, designer and owner of S.Y.D, dropped me right now. More funny fan stuff 🙂 No freebie but worth every linden. Spend 10 L and You get a flag, a belt (male + female), a hat (the hat is aaaawsome, can´t stop laughing) and a shirt FOR FREE. My pets are totally floored *grin* Now I can´t hide it no longer! I´ve flagged my parcel, I´m from Austria 🙂 Read details on SySy`s blog and then tp over to S.Y.D and get your football gear pack (there are 10). Thanks, SySy!
