Big mistake. Big. Huge. I have to go shopping now.

For anyone who doesn’t know, the title of this post and my photo are a quote from the movie Pretty Woman starring Julia Roberts and Richard Gere. If you have seen the movie, it will make sense. If you haven’t, well I highly suggest you add it to your movie list. The shopping scene is one of the best in the movie in my opinion.

That said, I feel like this is how I would have looked lugging home all of the free gifts at the current round of Vanity. I also of course happen to be wearing a few. All the gifts are free, you just need to join the Vanity event group. The group is free to join. I picked three of the many free gifts to share with you that I thought really went well together. The outfit I am wearing is from Queenz, my sunnies are from Avada, and this lip color is from GO Makeup. Lastly I also picked up a little bit of bling by Clever & Cool on the Marketplace to wear with these high-waisted pants. Keep reading for more details, and peep the credits at the end.

Queenz

I wouldn’t dare try to pull off all this white in my real life, however here in Second Life it’s such a win. This cropped top with ruffled sleeves, and the matching pants are the free gift at Vanity by Queenz. The pieces can be worn together or separately. Also, the top comes in a version sans the sleeves. The pants (since I cropped them out of the photo) are fitted through the waist and hips, then are a long loose-leg pant.

Sizes Included: Yentaments BBL Body, Maitreya Lara, Ebody Curvy, Slink Hourglass, Belleza Freya, 9S Jessica, Sking Katena

Avada 

The way a lot of people feel about shoes, I feel about sunglasses. There’s no such thing as too many pairs. These are the free Vanity group gift by Avada. They have resize scripts and a texture hud. The hud gives you 5 solid color choices for the frames, 7 options for the lenses, and 2 metal choices.

GO Makeup 

I love this mini HD lip palette by GO Makeup. It comes with 4 juicy red lip shades that scream summer. They also are free at Vanity with the Vanity group tag. This set comes in appliers for Catwa HD Lips and Genus HD Lips. For Catwa head wearers, this means you’ll need the free HD Lips add-on if you do not already have it. Don’t have HD Lips with your head yet? Head over to Catwa and get a redelivery, you need an upgrade! Here’s an awesome tutorial by Virtual Bloke about Catwa HD Lips and how to use them. For Genus head wearers, I believe the HD option is included in your hud.

Clever & Cool 

Finally, I felt like this outfit needed a little something extra. Thankfully I came across this cute gemstone belly chain by Clever & Cool for just 25 linden on the Marketplace. It has resize scripts built in, as well as lots of texture choices. I think it looks pretty cute as a belt, and is well worth the paltry price tag. If this one isn’t your style, there are a few others with the same price point, as well as several other types of jewelry.

Give Me a Song to Sing

I can’t carry a tune most days to save my life, but you better believe I sing. I feel music in my very core, so I sing along. It’s a simple pleasure that can lift my mood and brighten dark days. Another such pleasure is being part of Fabulously Free in SL and sharing freebie finds with all of you. For this post I’m excited to share with you this pretty little dress by Candy Kitten. Keep reading for more information, or scroll on down for the credits.

I love this sweetly sexy little dress by Candy Kitten. It is one of the free group gifts at Cosmopolitan Sales Room. The Cosmo group is free to join also. I chose to show the dress from behind because of the cool straps across the back.

An Evening Walk

There is something sacred about the evening walk in the summer.  You should always make time for that wonderful pastime as the sun goes down, and if it’s in a scenic location and involves ice cream then all the better!

A Bit of Vanity

It’s the Vanity event’s anniversary!  And in spectacular fashion, they’ve got plenty of gifts to go around.  Join their group for FREE and get access to all the lovely gifties that are available at each stall.  Here’s what I’m showing you today!

• FREE outfit by Rosary sized for Freya, Hourglass and Maitreya
• FREE lipstick by Lisa Walker with appliers for Catwa, Genus and Lelutka heads

As a little disclaimer, I believe some of the group gifts are set to the wrong group at the moment, so be patient to get a few of them because I’m sure they’ll sort it out eventually!  These two I’m showing you though are set to the correct Vanity Event Group.

What will you find at Vanity?

A stumble upon greatness

Greetings Fabulous Readers!  Today I am showing of a free find that I stumbled upon quite literally.  While I was making my rounds, I stopped in at Vision and walked towards the store and I didn’t even notice until I had gotten inside that I was turned backwards and across from Vision is a store called Tacchini that I was standing in.  I decided that since I was in there, I’d have a peek around and found that there is a really nice group lucky board prize with a free group join in one of the side rooms.

It didn’t take long for my lucky letter L to pop up, and I was sent the Chloe Set Top & Sleeve in Graphite as you see me wearing today.  You can wear the top without the sleeves too if you like, but I love the drop shoulder sleeves :).

Sizes Included:

• Maitreya Lara
• Slink Hourglass
• Belleza Freya & Isis

Good luck!!

It’s All Good

Some days you just have to leave the beach and go to a party looking like a million bucks.  I’m not gonna lie, I wore this little outfit here to a club the other night and I got a whole bunch of compliments, and not a single person believed me when I said it was all FREE!  SCORE!

Dressing Up

My lovely little cutout pink frilly dress is just to die for, don’t you think?  It’s by Scandalize and I got it for free by joining the Vanity Event group, which is currently free to join.  You can wear this pink number as a dress, like I have, or there is an option to wear it as a top and panty combination – perfect for the beach, I’d say.  Isn’t it pretty? Go grab yours at Vanity! (Oh and here’s the group key if you’re having a hard time locating it:  Vanity Event Updates)

Sizes

• Freya
• Hourglass
• Isis
• Maitreya

Ooh, Sparkly!

I found some really pretty crystal-esque earrings to go with my look, and they were completely free as well!  I hopped over to Heth Haute Couture and bought them for 0L, no group join required.  I love the rainbow effect of the cut crystal, it just makes me happy.  Perfect for a special occasion, and perfect for catching that special someone’s eye!  Ha!  I’ve included the vendor pic below so you can see the details.

Whatever you’re up to tonight, I hope you’re having fun!

You Can Pull it Off

One of the best things about SL is the fact that you can wear clothes that you wouldn’t normally wear in RL.  I mean, I’m sure there’s someone out there who could pull off this striking look in RL, but it ain’t me.  The other facet of me, Aline, can pretty much wear anything and make it look amazing.  I’m sure your pretty little avi will look just as fab!

Vaniteuse

I may be just a little filled with vanity when it comes to my looks on SL, but I suppose that’s what the game is generally about (I suppose you can make it about what you want!).  I found this exceedingly high cut dress by Scandalize and Noir as a free group gift at the Vanity event.  There is also a shorter top version that you could pair with jeans or leggings to create a cool look.  There are few other little gifties in the bag too to go with the outfit – so do check them out!  Just join the Vanity group for free, and pick this dress up right by the entrance!

Rose Red

Hello There Fab Free, I hope your weekend has been fabulous. This slinky red dress by Scandalize had me feeling darkly romantic. It’s the free group gift at the Vanity Event. I paired it with this cool 10 linden skull septum piercing by Venge that I picked up at The Mad Circus Gacha. Keep reading for more information about these two fabulous finds, or scroll down to the credits to the where and how much. ❤

The Dress – This sexy red dress is the free Vanity Event group gift by Scandalize. You’ll find it waiting just inside the entrance to the event. Just join the free-to-join Vanity Event group, and click the gift vendor. The dress comes in the solid matte color shown, and a red glittery version.

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

The Piercing – I think this septum piercing by Venge added just the right amount of sinister to Pru’s look. The little skull has red jeweled eyes, and a red gemstone fangs. My apologies, my photo doesn’t convey either of those details. This cool accessory is just 10 linden at The Mad Circus Gacha Fair.

Here are the details, enjoy!

She’s Just A Girl

Hello there Fabulouses!  I have a couple of group gifts to tell you about today.  One is by Glam Affair and the other by Scandalize!

A-Mazed

Do you remember that amazing Glam Affair group gift I told you about in July [HERE]? Well… I know you will have a hard time believing it so soon after such a generous gift, but Glam affair has put out ANOTHER group gift, this time for September!  In the gift you will find a head applier for Lelutka (not shown) and Catwa!

You can see me wearing the sweet applier called Maze 007 Shy on my Catwa Catya mesh head which is the FREE gift for Catwa!  It has a youthful, lightly freckled, slightly blushed look to it.  The 007 body appliers are not included so you’ll need to purchase those at the store if you’d like a perfect match.  The Glam Affair group is just 30L to join, and on the desk you’ll find both the other gift I blogged about before, and this new one!

A Scandalizing Gift @ Vanity Event!

There’s a new free group gift at Vanity Event by Scandalize!  At the entrance of the store on the wall to the right, you’ll find the vendor for the Scandalize Kimberly Set which includes the Nude and Nude Ombre version of Kimberly AND these sweet arm/leg ribbons.  This ribbon-wrapped bunchy cotton set is just in the one colour with the ombre option, however the arm/leg ribbons come with a texture change HUD with several different colours, and I imagine these will be fun with a lot of different outfits!  The Vanity Event group is free to join!

Sizes Included:

• Maitreya Lara
• Slink Hourglass
• Belleza Freya & Isis
