Modern Woman

Hey, Fab Free! Today I will being doing a little feature on the Lybra VIP group! It is indeed a paid group with a 500 L fee to join, but membership to the group gives you access to many wonderful things including fatpack gifts, and monthly gift cards. I will also be showing you all some free and almost-free accessories and makeups to accompany the latest group gift at Lybra, so read below for more details!

Lybra VIP 2020 Perks

At Lybra, the 500 L join fee for their VIP group is definitely an investment and well worth the benefits. There are other benefits you get through this group in addition to the past group gifts. One of the recently added perks in Lybra‘s VIP group is that every month members get a 500 L gift card. That equals 6,000 Linden in store credit per year! I joined during the first couple days of March and was able to cash in on the monthly promotion for the first three months of the year. Time for a shopping spree, Fab Free! Just head over to the Lybra VIP members lobby on the main floor of the store, to pickup the group, gifts cards and past member’s gifts.

Andrea

The most recent VIP group gift is Andrea. It’s a really gorgeous outfit, and can work for business or leisure. It include a top and slacks and it comes with several detailed colour huds.  I decided to take my photo above in a sim dedicated to the twentieth century sci-fi author H.P. Lovecraft, and I can even see this outfit working for modernist roleplay needs. Overall, this outfit is a keeper and it looks super fancy and expensive! You’ll radiate with class wearing this.

Sizes Included

• Maitreya
• Belleza (Freya & Isis)
• Alice Signature
•  Slink Hourglass

The Andrea set is so customizable and very easy to mix and match with other accessories, makeups and shoes, so I had no problem adding some wonderful free and cheap items to this look, so keep reading!

The Classy Eclatant Heels

KC Couture currently has a couple gifts out for free, or almost-free themes groups right now, which are tucked in behind the corner. The pair I have on right now are the gift for MLM offers (5 L join), called the Eclatant Heels. They’re very classy and intricate, and for 5L only these are a great steal.

Free Eyeshadow!

I added a free eyeshadow to this outfit in a green and brown shade to match my top and pants. This eyeshadow is from Altice. It is made for Genus heads, and can be used on BOM heads as well. It is a free gift with a free group join.

Some Bangles

The Bangles I have on right now perfectly match the colours I selected on the Andrea Fatpack, and they are one of the past group gifts from Death Row Designs that you can pick up as a free group gift until March 18th, which I recently blogged about. These are the “Wood Bangles”, in the colour set and the Mono set. They are gorgeous and can see them going with a lot of outfits. You can pick up the bangles as one of DRD‘s past group gifts which are available for free right now. Make sure to head over there soon as these will be retiring in the next week!

Goodbye to November

Hello Fab Free’rs! I’ve missed you! I have had such a busy week this week, and I know it’s going to get busier. It’s just that time of year, not that I am complaining. Can you believe we are saying goodbye to November and before we know it December first will be here?! Eep! I’m not ready, not yet. So now would be a good time to pick up any November group gifts you’ve yet to snag. I came across two fabulous group gifts that needed to be shared with you. First, I picked up this sexy dress from Chic Moda. Second, I picked up these pretty dangle earrings from Maxi Gossamer. Keep reading for the details!

The Dress – This slinky dress is sassy and sexy on. If you’re wanting a more cold weather style, I think it’d look adorable with a fur coat and some tall boots. You can get this cute little number in the color shown for free at Chic Moda by joining the Chic Moda group. There is a small join fee of 50 linden. This dress also has a unique feature, it has matching panties that are part of the dress, but can be made invisible using the included hud. The dress comes in a size to fit Maitreya Lara bodies, and Slink Hourglass bodies only.

The Earrings – I love jewelry that has the ability to be casual or dressy. These earrings by Maxi Gossamer definitely fit into that category. They are cute metallic chandelier style earrings that come with a color change hud. The color hud lets you pick from several solid color options. These are a free group gift for all Maxi Gossamer group members. Also, the Maxi Gossamer group is free to join. Also these cute earrings are light reactive!

Here are the details, enjoy!

Don’t Steal My Sunshine

Hey hey, Fabulouses!  I hope you are enjoying your weekend.  I’m chillin’ like a villain as you can see :).  I have found a couple of group gifts that are pretty sweet together, so I’ll be telling you about them in this blog post!

SAFIRA AGAIN!

Just last weekend with the help of Aline and Allison [HERE], I blogged that Safira had released a new group gift, but just a few days later… another addition was up on the wall!  How generous is that?!  The latest gift to be added onto the big wall of group gifts is the Kylie Swimsuit that I’m wearing today.   The Kylie Swimsuit his high on the hips, low in the chest dip and completely missing in the back to make up the perfect sexy one piece your summer wardrobe is missing.  Included with this gift, is a massive texture change HUD with tons of great prints and solids!  Available in several mesh bodies as listed below – these suits, and all of their group gifts are yours for free with a free group join!

Sizes Included:

• Maitreya Lara
• Slink Hourglass
• Belleza Isis & Freya

New Swimsuit…  New Floatie!

Nothing pairs better with a new swimsuit, than a new floatie to lounge on!  West End has recently put these fun Bento Animated Water Vibes Floating Rings out as a group gift for their VIP group (299L to join).  These tubes come in three prints and are loaded with a menu boasting tons of static and animated poses so you can use these as a pose prop, or inworld for relaxing in your pool!

Special Snowflake

Hey There Fab Free! I have been lost in the land of Real Life for a few days, and while it was fun, I’m glad to be back. Sometimes there’s nothing better than cozy familiar places. Fab Free is definitely one of my cozy familiar places. I miss it when I’m gone. In the spirit of “I’m-happy-to-be-back” I’ve got a quick post with new gift from Dead Dollz to share with you.

It’s not a secret that I love pin-up styles. So needless to say, I was uber excited to see this tie front sweater group gift at Dead Dollz. I love the big gold polka-dots and the pale pink sleeve cuffs. The best part by far however is the glittery phrase scrawled across the back. Yep, it says “Special Snowflake.” Love it. The gift comes in a single mesh size specifically for the Maitreya Lara body. The Dead Dollz group has a one time join fee of 250 linden. You will need to wear a Dead Dollz group tag to get this gift.

Here are the details, Enjoy!

I always enjoy the group gifts from Empire, but I especially like these adorable heels. They are the April group gift at Empire and I couldn’t be more pleased with them.

Also, the cute little bows at the heel are optional. The Empire group has a one time join fee of 499 linden, and currently there is more than one group gift still available.

Izzie’s Group Gift Scarf & Glasses Set 

Hello Hello Fab Free’rs! Today I have a quick little post about the group gift from Izzie’s to share with you. Honestly it’s just too cute to miss even though there is a group join fee. I love the little snowflakes that are sprinkled over this knit scarf, and the appearance of frost on the over-sized glasses. This FREE group gift at Izzie’s is truly every bit as cute as it looks. The set also includes a color change hud so you can choose between 7 colors to match almost any outfit. The glasses and the scarf have their ownwinter individual huds, so the colors can be changed individually. Additionally the set is unisex. The scarf has male and female sizes, and the glasses are able to be resized manually. As I mentioned, there is a one time join fee for the Izzie’s group, the fee is 250 lindens, however with gifts like this I think the fee is worth it!

Here are the details, Enjoy!

Weekend Sale at House of Darcy!

Hello There Fab Free’rs! I’m certain you’ve noticed what this post is about without reading a word. Piercings. This weekend only House of Darcy has lowered their VIP group join fee to just 50 lindens, and all individual items are marked down to 50 lindens each. House of Darcy is known for their detailed, intense piercing sets. Needless to say I was thrilled to hear about this sale and discounted entry into their VIP group.

I went through the shop wearing my House of Darcy group tag and picked up no less than 12 past and current FREE group gifts and exclusives. The VIP exclusive items that are separate from the VIP gifts are also FREE for this weekend only. Essentially that means I paid the one time fee of 50 lindens and was able to pick up 12 detailed piercing sets at no additional cost. The 5 above pictured piercing sets are just a sample. I do want to mention that some of these gifts are older, so don’t expect to see appliers. At least one set also includes classic tattoo layers to enhance the piercings. Each gift includes the full piercing set in several colors. I had to manually adjust the size and location of the individual parts to each piercing to fit my mesh face and body. Additionally the piercings that have two sections, such as chest and face, can be worn separately as well as together. Before I forget, many of the gifts are either unisex, or include a male and female version!
Lastly, after picking up all the awesome FREE VIP Gifts at House of Darcy, I couldn’t resist this henna style tattoo for just 50 lindens. This back piece does include an Omega applier as well as the classic system tatoo layer. I think this stylized crescent moon is just pretty enough to look good with a more feminine appearance, but masculine enough to be worn by someone more rugged. There’s roughly one day left for this amazing sale, so don’t hesitate to run over to House of Darcy and join their VIP group before the sale ends and their join fee goes back up on Monday.

Here are the details, Enjoy!

An Enchanting Blue Fairy

Hello There Fab Free’rs! I hope all is well in your world. Right now my world is made up of fantastic fairy fabulousness thanks to the Enchantment Hunt. The May round of Enchantment is Thumbelina themed, and the shops participating in the Hunt part of the event are making all my fairy dreams come true! Even better, the Hunt gifts are all absolutely FREE. Additionally, Plastik recently sent out this gorgeous fantasy skin with male and female options and all the appliers for all the meshy things you could possibly imagine (okay most of them) as a FREE gift to their VIP group. You’re gonna want this one! Also, at the very end of the post I have a little something from Catwa that I want to tell you about. I bet you can guess what it is!

First, if you’ve never done an Enchantment Hunt before, this is a hud hunt. You can pick up a FREE hud at the Enchantment Event or at any of the participating shops. Once you attach the hud you’ll be asked to give it permission to teleport your avatar. Say yes! Then click on a shop logo to be instantly teleported to that location. You’ll also get a hunt hint in your local chat. You must be wearing the hud when you find the hunt object (an open book) and click it. The Enchantment Hunt object will not send you the gift without the Enchantment Hunt hud attached. Since there are so many lovely Enchantment Hunt Freebies, I’ll start from the top. This crown of dainty, highly detailed hair flowers from NSP Florals is simply beautiful. This FREE hunt gift is sizable and can be easily positioned. Not to mention that hair flowers are an essential part of a fairy’s wardrobe, so you won’t want to miss these!

No fairy would be complete without a set of pretty gossamer wings! These delicate wings are the FREE Enchantment Hunt prize at Le Poppycock. The wings are static, and include several color versions, each in an open or closed position.

Next, this lace one-piece lingerie is the FREE Enchantment Hunt Prize at Blacklace. Blacklace is known for their beautiful lingerie, and this gift is no exception. Not only is this gift beautiful, it generously includes appliers for omega compatible bodies as well as classic system layers in several equally pretty colors.

The next to last stop on the Enchantment Hunt for this post is Essenz. These mint colored strappy flats are just too cute! These are easily the perfect fair footwear. This FREE hunt prize includes a Maitreya fit, and a Slink Flat fit. All fairy-ness aside, these sandals are a great addition to any summer wardrobe.

Finally, how cute is the pose used in the top photo? I love the whimsical look of the stance. This is one of 3 poses that are the Enchantment Hunt prize at Elephante Poses. Each of the 3 static poses have the same whimsical fairy quality to them. You’ll definitely want to add these FREE poses to your collection!

Now that I have shared a small sample of the Enchantment Hunt gifts to be had (I’ll show more in my next post), I want to talk about this incredible skin. Just recently Plastik gained 1000 Facebook likes/followers and to show her appreciation, the designer sent out this skin to her VIP group. This FREE gift comes in a male and female version and includes classic system layers along with appliers for every mesh body part you might imagine. I love the added detail of the almost iridescent looking stripes. They really give this skin an otherworldly look. In addition to the applier options, you also have the choice of freckles or no freckles.  At this time The Plastik group is FREE to join, and you’ll find this awesomely generous gift in the past group notices.

Lastly, I know this has been an unusually long post for me, but I have one more thing I want to share with you. Catwa has just released a static mesh head called Nicki, and it is for sale now for just 100 lindens. Yes, this is above and beyond the 75 lindens we usually stick to, however if you’re a Catwa group member you will get 30 lindens in store credit for purchasing the head. This brings that 100 linden cost to just 70 lindens in a round about way. Aside from being static (no blinking, no facial expressions) this pretty face has all the same functions as any other Catwa mesh head. Currently the Catwa group is FREE to join, so don’t forget to join the group and wear your group tag to get the store credit when purchasing the Nicki head.

Here are the Details, Enjoy!

Time To Relax

Some of my favorite moments in life are when I get to have quiet time with nothing to do and nowhere to be. This new group gift towel wrap from Legal Insanity made me want to run a nice hot bath and relax with a great book! This “towel dress” is a FREE gift for Legal Insanity group members. The Legal Insanity group is FREE to join. I kinda like the idea of somehow making this cute mesh wrap part of an outfit but I just didn’t pull it off. I could also see wearing it over your swimwear as a cover-up. The cute pattern and vibrant colors would be great for the pool or the beach.

Pru is also wearing a FREE group gift from ASO!. The dainty bow around her neck is FREE for ASO! group members, and the group is also FREE to join. This delicate bow is mesh and comes in several colors. I like that it’s simple and feminine, and I think it is a great alternative to a traditional necklace, or even a collar.

Next, I love this sweet face from Mudskin. Right now Mudskin group members can score a Lelutka head applier, and a matching Maitreya (body/hands/feet) applier for the Maitreya Lara body by stalking the lucky letter boards. There are 3 different variations to be had, I was lucky and managed to get the Reina appliers. The applier for the Lelutka heads includes brow and freckle options. So if you wear the Maitreya Lara body and or any of the Lelutka mesh heads, these FREE lucky letter prizes are a must-have. Additionally, the Mudskin group is FREE to join. Please note that the individual skin is not included in these lucky letter prizes, just the mentioned appliers.
