Have a Holly Jolly Christmas

In all the hustle and bustle of the holidays, one of my favorite things is decorating outdoors. There’s something magical about all the lights and colorful décor. That being said, when you’re not exactly tall, the right shoes can be a big help when hanging lights and wreathes. These shoes by Utopia are perfect for hanging lights, and reaching the top of the Christmas tree. They also happen to be one of the many free gifts out at FaMESHed. I also happen to think they look quite well with the FaMESHed group gift sweater by RIOT. Keep reading for details about each of these gifts that helped create this festive holiday look.

Utopia

These boots. The moment I saw them I thought ooo these look like super hero boots! And I mean that in the most endearing way. I love them, and could only ever pull them off here in Second Life. They are Utopia’s free gift at FaMESHed. To get your copy you’ll need to be in the free-to-join FaMESHed event group. Then click the giftbox outside the Utopia booth at FaMESHed while wearing your group tag.

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

RIOT

RIOT also has a FaMESHed group gift out, which is of course free. The RIOT gift is really 2 gifts however, in that there is a Jane sweater for the ladies, and Jasper sweater for the gentlemen. Both sweaters come in red or green with several size choices. Don’t forget your FaMESHed group tag.

Women’s Sizes (Jane Sweater): Maitreya Lara, Belleza (Freya, Isis), Legacy, Slink Hourglass

Naughty vs. Nice

Heya Fab Free!  November is coming to a close, so I think it’s time to start reconsidering whether we’re being naughty or nice.  For the month of December, I solemnly swear to be very very very very nice.  I mean, I want presents under the tree, so behaviour is key!

Calling an Uber

There are a few free gifts at this month’s round of Uber for you to pick up!  Nestled among the lovely things to buy you will find a few scrumptious little delights that may just make you happy.  Here’s what I found!

• Free Sweatshirt by Vinyl sized for Freya, Hourglass, Isis, Legacy, Physique and Venus
• Free Nail Polish by Alaskametro with appliers for Maitreya and Omega

Happy end of November!

Vinyl Group Gift

The most recent free group gift is this cute cropped tee in dark blue that reads “I’m Just Here to BANG” in red white and blue lettering. I personally love the way this top fits. It comes in the following sizes: Maitreya Lara, Legacy, Belleza (Isis, Venus, Freya), Slink (Physique, Hourglass). To get your copy join the free-to-join Vinyl store group and click the gift vendor while wearing your group tag. Also, there are a few previous group gifts still available.

Plus if you shop while wearing your Vinyl group tag you’ll get store credit on most purchases.

I picked up these Sheeran Boyfriend Jeans in Darkest Blue for just 74 linden as part of the sale.

In the Garden

Hi, hello, Fab Free’rs! I hope you’re all well and having a marvelous week so far. For this post I have the cutest little tube top to tell you about. This ruffled tube top with the cat-shaped cutout is a free group gift at G-Shot. It even has stitch whiskers, which I think is extra cute, especially for a sometimes-kitty-girl like me! The G-Shot group is free to join for an undisclosed limited time as well. So don’t wait to pick this one up! This free group gift includes a color change hud for the main fabric of the top and the metal studs with quite a few options for each. It also comes in several mesh sizes. I hope you have fun with this one!

Sizes Included: Maitreya Lara, Ebody Curvy, Belleza (Isis, Freya, Venus)

Psychosomatic

Hello Fab Free. Today’s post is a little melancholy, though appropriately so. If you are, or ever were into EDM (Electronic Dance Music) you know who the man on Pru’s shirt. Keith Flint, probably best known for his work with the band Prodigy, took his own life early this week. Despite his often menacing appearance on stage, he has been described by those who knew him as a kindhearted soft-spoken gentile soul. Music will never be quite the same without his creative spark.

The designer behind the brand Beautiful Hustler has put out this top as a free group gift in tribute to the beloved singer, dancer, and front-man. The top comes in a single mesh size (not sure if it is fitted or standard), as well as mesh sizes for Maitreya Lara, Belleza (all), Tonic (all), and Slink (all) mesh bodies. The Beautiful Hustler group is free to join.

Also, Pru is wearing a recent limited time free group gift nose ring by PUNCH. This crescent-moon shaped piercing is technically rigged to fit the Catwa Catya head, however it fit Pru’s Genus Project Classic head without any issues. The piercing is free to all PUNCH group members, and the group is free to join.

Lastly I just wanted to put this out there, if you are feeling low, low enough that suicide sounds like a plausible option, please please please talk to someone. Anyone. Here is a link to the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. https://suicidepreventionlifeline.org/ .

Here are the details for this look:

Before I Had My Coffee

Oh Hello There Fab Free’rs! I hope you’ve all survived the holidays so far. I for one do not want to see let alone eat another slice of pie for a very long time. Otherwise I’m doing pretty well. I picked up gifts by Vinyl from two different events that really go well together. I also picked up a pretty new group gift skin at PumeC. All in all, not a bad way to start the weekend!

The Shirt – This tied graphic tee is one of the free gifts I picked up by Vinyl. This gift is available for free at the Shop & Hop event. No group is needed. The top reads “Dear Santa I’m Sorry For What I Said Before I Had Coffee.” Well I do not mind admitting that there are definitely moments when I should make such an apology myself, and not just to Santa! The top comes in several mesh sizes, and is just too cute to pass up.
Sizes Included: Maitreya Lara, Slink (Physique, Hourglass), Belleza (Isis, Freya, Venus)

The Shoes – I think these crochet red chucks by Vinyl are adorable. They are a free gift available to everyone who visits the Vinyl booth at Uber. No group is needed for this gift, simply click the sign that says “XMas Gift” and the chucks will be sent to you. The shoes come in a few sizes and are every bit as cute on as they look in the photo.
Sizes Included: Belleza, Maitreya, Slink

The Skin – The Skin Pru is wearing is a free group gift at PumeC. Not only does it come with a Genus head applier, but a full fat-pack of skin tones with appliers are included as well as a set of base skins. The PumeC group has a one time join fee of 399 linden to join, and there are quite a few past group gifts still available. Also, there’s a second December group gift skin available, and a promise of a possible third December gift still to come!
Appliers Included: Body Appliers – Belleza, Maitreya, Slink, Omega /  Head Applier – Genus
Here are the details, enjoy!

A Little Nonsense Now and Then

I know what you’re thinking.  Why is Aline standing in a bathroom that has a pile of pink fruit in it?  Well, you seem to think that I know what’s going around here, and that’s kinda cute.  The real question is, where did I get my super awesome outfit from?

A Little Vinyl

My gorgeous (and daringly cut) dress is a free group gift by Vinyl that I picked up over at Access.  There are a few gifts to grab there if you join their group for free.  I quite enjoy this dress by Vinyl that is all business in the front, but a massive party in the back! (ha!) It comes with an HUD to change to a myriad of colours to suit all your needs.  Cool!

Sizes

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

I’m Feeling Pr!tty

The good people over at Pr!tty may have been quiet over the last little while, but they recently put out a new group gift that can be found in group notices.  Evvie is a long, windswept concoction in a gorgeous cotton candy shade of pink.  I love it!  Check for another little gift in notices as well!  The Pr!tty group is 200 Lindens to join at this time. (The links I’ve provided here will give you the group profile!)

What do you think? Is this fruit safe to eat?
