Thankful

Happy Canadian Thanksgiving Fab Free!  As is my wont this time of year, I think about what I’m thankful for.  I am, of course, thankful for my health and job and family, but I’m also thankful for my Fab Free family as well!  Since I’ve been blogging here, I have made friends I’m sure I’ll keep for life, met some great humans, and had a lot of fun at the same time.  So thank you for being a part of my SL.  I’m constantly amazed that I get people reading my words every day, and that in itself is a gift I shall always cherish!

Thankful for Freebies

Now, let’s just get to the freebies, eh Aline?  I got a great cozy sweater today over at Miwas, sized for Maitreya bodies.  I joined their group for free, then stalked their lucky boards for a while!  It didn’t take long for my letter to come up, and then this cute little cropped sweater was all mine.  Make sure you pick up the group gifts on the counter while you’re there!

Falling Leaves

This pose and the falling leaves swirling about me (by WetCat) were a free find I picked up over at The Seasons Story.  I mentioned yesterday that they’re celebrating fall with a massive pile of goodies for you, so make sure you head over there and pick them up.  No group join required!

Oh and by the way, the sim I’m visiting is a great place for any fans of Harry Potter.  I’m hanging out at Hogsmeade, which is a great reproduction of the little town, complete with the Three Broomsticks and the Shrieking Shack!

Happy Northern Turkey Day!

Day into Night

After all of Juli’s posts about how great the SL16B gifts are, I had to check it out for myself. I braved the lag and found a few nice gifts for us guys.

A to Zed

I saw these great shoes were the gift Zed was offering and I was so intrigued, I had to check out the rest of their offerings. I’m rather pleased I did. There are several gifts scattered about the shop. A very smart high necked sweater with a large HUD of colors and this full ensemble suit. I like the unusual choice of a tee shirt instead of a collared shirt and a chain necklace instead of a tie. Sometimes edgy is a good thing.  The ‘Lovers Day’ suit comes with the blazer and shirt combination, the pants, the dragonhead chain, a bracelet and it’s own set of shoes. There is also a matching cocktail dress for the ladies on the women’s side of the shop.

Sizes Included

• Aesthetic
• Belleza
• Classic Mesh – S-L
• Signature – Geralt, Gianni
• SLink
• TMP
• Shoes – SLink and Standard

Head to Toe

Now, about these shoes. The ‘Winklepicker Pikes’ ( it’s a style of shoe or boot worn from the 1950s onward by British rock and roll fans.) are Zed’s official Second Life 16th Birthday Celebration Free Gift. The generous Zed has given us the entire fatpack of the shoes so you should find a color and style that suits your every outfit.

Sizes Included

• SLink
• Standard (Resizable)

Just Breathe

Men’s wear has been somewhat… scarce of late. So I was rather pleased to find a really well made gift set out for the men of Second Life by Breath. There’s also a second jacket and shirt set out that is a mere 50L. I, in fact, helped myself to both generous offerings. You won’t even need a group tag for this one. Thanks, Breath.

There are four versions of the “BB Jacket” set outside on the wall of the Breath store. But at 0L, you can pick up all of them. Each one has a different sleeve design or color. Take a moment, while you’re there, to browse the store. I found the prices to be reasonable and the selection was great.

Sizes Included

• One size fits all

Party Girls

Hi hi Fab Free’rs, from myself and Aline! Have you ever been to a party or an event where they have a hired photographer who goes around taking candid shots, and then you can go to their website to see the photos? This photo of Aline and I reminds me so much of those party photos, which makes sense because the pose is a free Pose Fair gift called “Party Girls” by Flamingo. Also, the matching outfits are part of the Saturday Sale at CoCo that just should not be missed!

So I know I’ve been “Pose Fair Pose Fair Pose Fair” in my last few posts, however I just can’t get over how many awesome free gifts there are just waiting to be picked up. This free gift by Flamingo does require the free-to-join Pose Fair group, so be sure to join and wear that group tag when you click the gift box. This gift includes the two-person pose in pose-ball form.

Now, let’s talk about these outfits. There are four versions of this cheeky tank top and short shorts set by CoCo out early for this week’s Saturday Sale. Aline and I both picked out a favorite, though it was hard to choose one. Clearly we chose well, I mean sweet petite Aline has to be “Thicker Than a Snickers?” right? And Pru is kind of a “Whole Snack” or “snacks” maybe?! Hahaha I’ve added the vendor photo below so you can peep the rest of the sets. If you think these are as much fun as we do, hurry over to CoCo while they are just 75 linden per set.

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

Sugar Rush

Hello Fab Free! Thanks for being here. Does any one else have a sweet tooth the size of oh, I don’t know, Second Life? lol I sure do! Thankfully virtual sweets do not have calories! My sweet tooth definitely contributed to my need to share this free Pose Fair gift by WetCat with you. Additionally, I couldn’t resist another “sweet”, this sweet little outfit group gift by American Bazaar. Keep reading and I’ll give you all the sugary details.

This pose by WetCat is part of a free Pose Fair group gift currently at the Pose Fair. Not only is the gift free, the group is also free to join. In the package you’ll get 2 poses,  the pose shown, with a matching “curvy” variation for thicker avatars and a second equally cute pose with the same “curvy” option. Both poses also include a lollipop prop, and a color change hud for the the lolli that lets you pick from 6 colors. To get yours you’ll want to head over to the Pose Fair and join the group, then click the gift box waiting at the WetCat booth.

I like that this outfit by American Bazaar has both sass and class. The bit of under boob cleavage is a cute alternative to.. well.. regular cleavage. haha Right now you can get the skirt and top combo in white as a free group gift with your American Bazaar group tag. The group is currently free to join. This gift comes in several sizes, and the top or skirt can be worn separately.

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

David

The newest issue of L’Homme has hit the news stands and a ton of very nice free gifts have come along with it. I always look forward to the new L’Homme. Not only is the fashion outstanding, the photography is stunning. And more often than not, the gifts are superb.

Awesome Bakaboo

As always, the latest L’Homme free gift from Bakaboo is fantastic. This is the ‘David’ shirt and it comes as an entire outfit with both top and pants. I chose to show the top with some black pants to get a little contrast in the picture. If you can’t tell, the shirt includes two panels in the front and one in the back, that are transparent. A little eye candy for you there. 😉

Sizes Included

• Belleza
• Signature
• SLink
• TMP

One note -> My picture is rather dark and in other windlights, the blue and yellow of the shirt are much lighter.

Lemon Verbina

Meow Meow Hi Fab Free! Haha I hope you’re enjoying the weekend. I have to say mine is going pretty well so far. Have you been by the Pose Fair yet?! I feel like I’ve been talking about it a ton, but with good reason. I am not exaggerating when I say there are so many free gifts at the Pose Fair. I also want to point out that while I may not be blogging them, there are quite a few male pose freebies and couples poses. So there’s my bit about the Pose Fair for today. I am of course showing another of the gifts from the event, this time from WetCat. Also, I picked up the current Fabulously Free in SL group gift at Sexy Princess. Lastly, as always tattoos are irresistible, and Letis Tattoo has a cute 10 linden tattoo out that I just had to share.

The Cushion – The cute little yellow cushion that Pru is so delicately perched upon is the free Pose Fair group gift by WetCat. This simple floor pillow comes equipped with 2 static female sit poses, and 2 static male sits. You’ll need to join the Pose Fair group and wear the tag before clicking the giftbox at the WetCat booth. The Pose Fair group is free to join.

The Boots – Have you seen the Fabulously Free in SL group  gift listing recently? It’s looking pretty good. The gifts do change periodically, so if you haven’t checked them out recently, you should definitely take a look. I picked up these high heeled ankle boots for free at Sexy Princess while wearing my Fab Free group tag. The Fab Free group is always free to join. These cute boots come in sizes to fit Maitreya, Slink, and Belleza feet.

The Tattoo – Finally, the dainty floral linework tattoo on Pru’s upper arm is a 10 linden group only purchase available at Letis Tattoo. You will need to join the Letis Tattoo group to purchase this inexpensive find, however the group is free to join. As much as I do like to be heavily inked, sometimes I enjoy these beautiful more subtle tattoos just as much as a full body one. This 10 linden tattoo comes in several appliers, each with a range of intensity. Also, this tattoo comes in classic system tattoo layers for non mesh avatars!

Greetings from Little Havana

Dear Readers,

I hope this missive finds you all well and enjoying the last days of the Summer season. Julianna has informed me that she is once again working for your Blogging team and her emails are fill to the brim with her typical giddiness. I don’t know when I’ll return to work as I am off on a walk about on the Grid. Don’t tell Juli. I found this prim seaside town recently and I’m staying a few days. Maybe do a little surfing. If you like old world, vintage charm I urge you to visit here in Little Havana.

Dress for the Occasion

Even if the occasion is a casual afternoon sight seeing. I found this well worn Tee at one of my favorite stops: Cold Ash.  The Montana Tee … yes, I know it says California on it, but it’s the Montana Tee is the latest Group Gift from Cold Ash and it’s free. Even the Group is free to join.

Sizes Included

• Classic Avi
• Belleza
• Gianni
• SLink
• TMP

Now, I believe I’m going to test out those waves. Maybe see if the girls in the bikinis are playing volley ball yet…

Cheers,

Gabriel St.James

Goodnight Moon

Hello Again Fab Free’rs! I hope anyone out on the U.S. East Coast is keeping safe and as dry as possible. Today I have some super cute what I like to call “cheapies” to share with you. I picked up these pajama pants from Petite Morte, and the tattoo is from Moon Tattoos. Both bargains are too good to pass up if you ask me!

The Tattoo – This cool unisex tattoo is a Marketplace bargain from Moon Tattoo. The tattoo is priced at just 59 linden (as are many of the tattoos at the Moon Tattoo Marketplace Store). It comes in appliers, and there is a classic system tattoo layer making this tattoo suitable for both mesh and classic avatars.
Appliers Included: Omega, Maitreya Lara

The Pajama Pants – I love these pajama bottoms from Petite Morte. They are exactly what I want to wear when I’m around the house. Right now Petite Morte has a selection of 3 different novelty pajama bottoms for sale at just 50 linden per style. If moons and clouds aren’t your thing, there’s a cute kitty print, and some piggies to choose from. These won’t be 50 linden forever, so make sure you pick a pair up sooner rather than later. You’ll find them at the Petite Morte store next to the Lucky Letter boards.
Sizes Included: Maitreya Lara, Belleza (Freya, Isis, Venus), Slink (Hourglass, Physique), TMP
