Smooth Operator

Hey there Fabulouses!  The holidays were such a crazy time in RL and SL that it was impossible to run around and partake in all of the fabulous freeness I was finding around the grid, and thankfully yesterday while I was peeking around in the Vanilla Bae store I saw that they still have their Day 25 prize up for group members from their daily advent calendar they ran.  I have no idea how I missed this one – it’s great!

Red is hot every day of the year

Don’t worry…  you can wear this generous gift any day of the year, it doesn’t have Christmas trees or snowflakes lol..  What you will get though is the following:

1. Scarlet Dress – Fitted for Maitreya, Hourglass, Isis & Freya – Strip options!!
2. Scarlet Body Chain – Fitted for Maitreya, Hourglass, Isis & Freya – this is my favourite piece of the set and can be worn with other outfits too
3. Nadine Heels – Fitted for Maitreya, Slink & Belleza
4. Texture Change HUDs for everything – You will also get HUDS that allow you to select from glitter red or glitter gold

The Vanilla Bae group is 199L to join, and you can find this hot little number behind the reception desk on the wall.  While you are at it, take a little walk over to the VIP area across from the desk and grab the rest of the free group gifts there too – they are all really nice things!

Julia Bento V2

Move! Animations has released a V2 of their Julia Bento Dances and I have made a video to show them off, wearing the free group gift available at Vanilla Bae!  These dance animations are smooth and funky.

Thanks for reading… and watching!

Will you be my galentine?

Hello there Fabulouses!  Vanilla Bae has an uber cute, super feminine 27pc. gacha set at Epiphany called Galentine that includes clothing, shoes and decor too!  You have the option to play 75L per play or you can purchase the fatpack.

What pieces am I wearing?

I’m wearing the rare Tanktop & Strip Skirt (which are both strip versions!), along with the rare Wedges.  All three items come with texture change HUDs so you can mix and match prints and colours depending on your girly moods!  This set is fitted exclusively for Maitreya, and there are plenty of common single colours that you can create outfits with inexpensively.

Decor too!

As I mentioned above, there are also decor items in the set and I have included a few into the photo scene.  There are three Galentine Heart Pillows (Red, Pink & Patterns) and the “love” balloon in the back, that I will stretch to assume was made just for me!  The decor items feature texture change options.

It’s Too Early for Wrapping Presents

Hello Again Fab Free’rs! My the blog is busy this weekend! I’m so excited to see all the Fabulous posts, and I’m always glad you’re here reading them. It seems like Pru might spend the month of December in her pajamas! All jokes aside, sounds kind of fantastic if you ask me.  It’s getting to that time when I find myself either staying up way too late or getting up way too early to wrap the Christmas presents, so this photo is not too far fetched from my reality. Hah!  Vanilla Bae put out their adorable Sally onesies in a cute star pattern as a group gift, and I do not want to take them off. Also, HopScotch sent out this adorable Christmas tree headband to their Subscriber group. I don’t know about you, but I am definitely here for fun festive accessories. Keep reading for more details.

The Onesie – Alright so one big feature of these jammies that I did not mention above is that they are strip-able! Simply by clicking them the wearer can strip themselves, set an auto strip feature, or pick who can strip them by adding other avatars to an access list, or choosing to have the strip feature set public. Additionally there are 2 ways you can pick up this almost free gift from Vanilla Bae. The set is available on the Marketplace for just 1 linden. Otherwise, you can head over to Vanilla Bae in world and pick up the gift for free with your group tag. If you’re not already a group member, there is a one time join fee of 199 linden. Included with this gift is a texture change hud that lets you pick from red with stars, dark blue with stars, or pink with stars. It also has several options for the color of the buttons.

Sizes Included: Maitreya Lara, Belleza (Freya, Isis), Slink (Physique, Hourglass)

The Headband – I love cool Subscriber gifts! No matter what, they are always free. This cute Christmas tree headband was sent out a few days ago to the HopScotch Subscriber group. To be sure this gift is still available I went over to HopScotch myself and unsubscribed from their Subscriber, then re-subscribed. The headband was delivered to me the moment I rejoined! This gift can be manually resized using the edit menu.

Here are the details, enjoy!

Take Your Shirt Off

Happy Monday Fabulouses!  Have you been hitting the group Advent at Vanilla Bae?  It’s a stop I have been making every day since December 1st because the gifts have been amazing!  I have received all kinds of holiday themed original mesh wearables such as skirts, tops, pjs, socks, leg chains.  The group fee is 199L, but the gifts have been way worth it so far, and there are 14 days left to Advent!  I also want to share news today about Navy & Copper’s gacha offering at Epiphany!  I hope you have a coffee and a comfy seat…  I’m feeling chatty today!

Going Back A Few Days…

On Day 7 at Vanilla Bae, I got this strippable Maitreya fitted Annie Sweater that includes a texture change HUD with three cozy prints that I am in love with.  (Thank goodness it wasn’t Seven Swans A Swimming).  Yes… I know Day 7 is long over, and its no longer available for free, but I wanted to share news with you that group members can purchase these items afterwards too if they are missed for a fair price.

What is this strip feature you speak of, Love?

Some of you will be excited by the strip feature, and some might shy away thinking these items won’t be wearable on a day to day basis, BUT… THEY ARE!  With the easy to control menu, you control the level of “strippiness”.  You can even choose to give control over to a master or set it to auto strip.  Don’t worry if you set it up the wrong way the first time (like I did…), a good friend of mine (TY ALINE), showed me the reset button fixes everything!  Wanna see me strip?

 

Aww..  you didn’t think it was going to be a naughty video did you?  What kind of a blog do you think we are? 🙂

Anne, Ann, Anna

At this December round of Epiphany, Navy & Copper’s gacha set is the Anne, Ann, Anna Hair and if you like long straight styles – this one is for you!  I’m wearing #11 which is Anna Blonde.  It’s great when you can get wearable colours as commons and for just 75L per play!!

Comfort & Joy

Hey there Fabulouses… You know where I think the real “Comfort & Joy” holiday saying came from?  I think it came from people like me who just really like to eat fancy food in comfortable clothes with good friends (possibly furry friends) at Christmas time.  I am all for leggings and sweaters on Christmas day, even if there’s company, fine china, and candles.  Why can’t we be joyful and comfortable all at the same time, right?  My hands should only need leave the insides of my sleeves for another drink or sugar cookie!

Cozy Winter Gacha Set

My outfit today is put together with a few of the pieces from the Cozy Winter Gacha Set by Vanilla Bae at Epiphany.  This strippable set is rigged for Maitreya and comes in 12 patters and 14 solids!   If you’d rather buy than try your luck playing(75L per play), you can purchase the fatpack instead! I’m wearing the following pieces today!

Sweater – Vanilla Bae Neve Sweater
Pants – Vanilla Bae Neve Leggings Patterns
Socks – Vanilla Bae Neve Legwarmers
Boots – Vanilla Bae Neve Boots Black

The Gory Side

Right, well….this is a bit of a departure for me!  I don’t usually go in for the gory side of Halloween, but what can I say…. you gotta try things at least once.  I mean…I don’t know that being spattered with blood is one of the things you really need to try once, but I suppose in SL it’s all part of the experience!

Once Upon A Nightmare

Yessiree, the free Once Upon A Nightmare hunt is back, and loads of your favourite stores are taking part!  Juli showed you some of her findings HERE, and I’m showing off two creeptastic prizes today!  I journeyed over to Le Fil Cassé and found this itty bitty “strappy mess” outfit.  I’ve strategically placed my hair and this skull that just happened to be lying around to protect my modesty, but it really is allllll out there.  Something for a special and murderous occasion, I’d say!  I continued my meanderings and over at Vanilla Bae I sought out the little OUAN boxes and came across these quite sexy (and strippable) boots! They’re sized for Maitreya, Hourglass, Isis and Freya. It all works together in some strange and twisted way!  Both finds were completely FREE and fun to find!

Outfit Sizes

• Freya
• Isis
• Maitreya
• Hourglass

And Now For Something Completely Different…

There’s another hunt taking place – this one is all on one sim and is called the Spooky Cute hunt!  I teleported over there and goggled about until I came across the little ghost (which I bought for 1L) containing this hair from Sintiklia!  The bangs are optional, and there are a few different colours to choose from in the HUD.  You’ll find all the details for this hunt at the landing point!

Now where did I put that towel?! SOMEONE has to clean up this mess!

Vanilla Mint Day Sleeper

Hey there Fabulous Readers!   A couple of months back [HERE] I mentioned that Vanilla Bae has some super sexy lucky board prizes, and it’s taken me a while to make my rounds back there again, but I managed to win another one of them a couple days ago!

Take It Off, Or Leave It On

This Adele Lingerie Set is mint in colour and comes with a HUD with metal options and remove/strip options.  You can use the HUD yourself, or if you are brave enough, you can add your partner in for an interactive touchy experience.

Sizes Included:

• Maitreya Lara
• Slink Hourglass
• Belleza Isis & Freya

There are actually four lucky boards at Vanilla Bae – all set to group which is currently free to join!  The last time I posted about Vanilla Bae lucky boards, there was a small 10L fee to join. Good luck!!

My back’s against the wall

Hi there! I’ve put together some pretty things to show you. I hope you like them!

Most literal title ever

There is a new free group gift at Ana Boutique, and it is a set of 3 poses designed to be used leaning up against a wall. They’re really fantastic. If you want to lean up against some walls too (and why wouldn’t you?), you’ll just need to join the free Ana Boutique group. You’ll find this pose pack and a few other free gifts on the wall above the stairs.

Hair, hair everywhere

I think that the thing that I buy the most of in SL is hair. Like, as soon as we finish up here I’m probably going to hit up the Saturday sale, where I will undoubtedly find some hair that I need and can’t live without. But when they’re on sale or free, it so hard to say no. This specific hair was FREE and it’s really cute. If that’s wrong then I don’t want to be right! I picked it up at Ayashi. There are two groups there, a free group and a paid group. This hair is a gift for the free group. Hopefully my slurl there takes you right where you need to go, but if it doesn’t there is a teleport board straight ahead when you walk into the store. Just choose Gift Room and you’ll see this pack and a few others on the wall. The super cute ‘do that I’m wearing here comes as a fatpack. I love the straight bangs and how the front is pulled back. It’s short and sassy and perfect.

Feelin’ Flippin’ Fin-tastic

Hey FabFree!

I know the hype lately is Shark Week, because well sharks are awesome! Stay tuned for those of you who like sharks, hunts and FREEBIES, I have just the post for you. The Women’s Only Hunt has not officially started, but some creators have hid their coconuts around their main stores and of course, FabFree has to be on top of that! You can see the previous coverage by Love Trill [here].

Well, Vanilla Bae has a super freaking adorable top and shorts set with sharks on it. You just have to find the coconut icon hidden in the main store. If you aren’t familiar with Vanilla Bae and their products… giggles… you’re in for a naughty treat. This outfit comes equipped with a “strip-able” function, via a click-able menu. The outfit can be set to a “master” i.e your partner, so it can be kept private or it can be left public. The menu is accessible, by a simple click, each piece of clothing has their own menu with 4 different ways to strip. If someone does stumble across you and clicks your clothing, don’t fret, they still have to receive permission from you to access the menu! Becky is available in two colors white with sharks or a teal/sea green with sharks, it can be worn out and about in world, or for maybe some sexy little PJs.

The Women’s Only Hunt does not officially begin until August 4th, but don’t let that stop you for looking for some coconuts! These free beauties are sure worth the hunt, there is no group to join, just simply click the coconut once located and a folder will be delivered, with your prize! Just be sure to hit accept when prompted!
