Hello again, my dears and happy happy Friday! The ‘love-fest’ Hunts are going strong but you only have a few days left for many of them. So let’s jump in to the 0L Add Some Red Hunt from Fi’s Hunts.
I was able to make this nifty outfit almost exclusively from the Hunt prizes! First is the blouse from Get Frocked. I love the peplum hem and the soft velvet look of the fabric. The fact that it’s covered in cute little hearts is just frosting on the cake!
There is some truly lovely jewelry in this Hunt and I had a hard time choosing one to show. But I think the Harlequin Set from Exquisite Jewellery is the perfect fit for the look I’m going for. You get the earrings and the necklace in the prize with commands to turn the ‘bling’ on and off. The necklace actually beats like a heart when you first put it on!
Don’t you love the glasses? I haven’t taken them off since I opened the prize box! These are the Red Tartan Glasses from The Vintage Touch. Vintage Touch is doing some awesome work and I love seeing their name on a Hunt. (And don’t forget to check out their new Gift at the FabFree Headquarters too)
Last but not least are the Inez Booties from Lindy Modern and Retro Shoes. As always, Lindys has put out a fantastic pair of shoes for this Hunt. I love the metal details and that rich crimson color.
The Add Some Red Hunt runs until Feb. 28 so you still have some time to add that pop of color to your SL closet!

Hiya Fabulouses! There is so much going on this week that my avatar is running around in circles like a chicken with her head cut off, but I managed to sit her into a pose for a few minutes to show off a couple of group gifts I have been excited to share with you!
Even.Flow has just placed out the Wendy mesh dress in rainbow print as a free group gift to inworld group members. This group is free to join and there are multiple gifts to pick up. I warmed up my bare legs a little bit in this chilly weather with Izzie’s latest group gift, which is a fatpack of the Lace Overknees that come with slink appliers so you can wear them around as just socks too without shoes with is totally adorable. The Izzie’s group does have a join fee of 250L but the super gifts Izzie puts out each month make this one worth the fee!
I also wanted to mention this fun new hair by Clawtooth called Snowbunny! This hair includes the winter hat and is available in a wide variety of hair colours for just 75L per play at The Arcade Gacha! Don’t you just love when you don’t have to fit hair under hats? Easy peasy, lemon squeezy!

Its The Arcade Gacha time again! Wooo! Its a task and a half to get into it or the Arcade Gacha Galley which is the alternative shopping area for the Arcade where you can scan your camera in to play the camera, but it sure is worth it!
There are so many great things in this round I almost fainted. One thing you can always count on at this event is that if you love interior design then you are going to find a treasure trove of amazing furniture and knick knacks to decorate your home. One of my hobbies is changing the decor of my home on a regular basis. I thought I would take a break away from my usual fashion posts to show you some of the great home furnishings you can find here! Full details are at the bottom of the post.
I always like having a little office area.. and the Workspace set from Tres Blah at The Arcade Gacha, really fits the bill perfectly. All the tiny details are divine and are quite close to my own little work area in my real life home so that is probably why I love this so much. The super comfy Florian Chair is by ISPACHI and is part of their Gacha along with the Florian Pink Trunk and the Picture Frame on the right wall. While the fun slouchy cow fabric chair is the Malmo chair by What Next and can be found in lots of colours in their Gacha machine.
Below is a close up of the desk items. Everything on the desk except the Tarot Cards and the Chatter Teeth are by Tres Blah. The cards and Chatter Teeth are by SORGO at The Arcade Gacha and are part of the Dusty Attic set of items they have in their Gacha. The little Enigma Machine on the floor that the kitty by Fashionably Dead is interested in, in the first picture, is also by SORGO and is the rare item in the Gacha.
All details are below the dotted line! The credits are a little different to how I usually list things but hopefully it will be easier to read this way as more than one item by one designer is grouped together. You can take a look at more items that are available by visiting the shopping guide on The Arcade Website.

Its still the music festival time of year over here in the UK, so here I am out camping with Mr0mizu, getting in the mood for the weekend ahead! Right now we are only in our back garden.. and I much prefer that to a crowded campsite!
Mr0mizu is looking rather fine in his festival wear thanks to some great items from The Blues Hunt. His sweater is the hunt prize from Razor and he has his casual sandals for his SLink Feet courtesy of The Body Factory! He doesn’t usually like accessorizing but he finally found a necklace he liked thanks to the Ammunition Necklace by AITUI! He’s even grown a huge beard for the event! Im going to have to find some flowers to decorate that with later ~laughs~
He doesn’t look too amused with me trying for a piggy back huh! You can find this freebie pose called King and Queen at Diesel Works! It comes with a crown to wear too, but I didnt want to push my luck too far ~giggles~
I love my Heart Shaped glasses and if you love them too, you can find them as a freebie from Snatch at the District 5 event that began a few days ago. You can also pick up the free gift of a fatpack of Athytia Dresses by Somnia at the same event! The Cecily Necklace is just adorable and is by C’est La Vie as their new free group gift. It comes in a pack of several colours so you can match it to almost everything! Don’t you just love my rainbow boots! They are perfect festival wear and whats great is they are free on the marketplace as a wearable demo by ALB Dream Fashion!
How about this hair though huh? Its so amazing that I had to show you it! It is made by Olive and you can get it from the Olive You Fundraiser which is an event to help the owner of Olive raise funds to save her home! I always love how SL really shows its community spirit when things like this happen. There are some amazing stores taking part, so be sure to come and take a peek. You’ll be buying some great things and helping a good cause in the process.
And lastly my skin is the Delphine Bare skin in tone 3 by Lumae and is their item for Lazy Sunday.. now I know Sunday was yesterday but the skin is still out so rush over to get it as quick as you can! It is available in 8 tones for a bargain L$75 each! He had to get in on that picture.. he’s just so proud of his beard! And I see some daisies over there with his name on them….

Hiya Fabulouses! I am in the midst of washing and packing for my summer vacation, but the other day I showed you one group gift at Sassy! [HERE] and mentioned there was another one. It was bugging me that I only showed one of them, so here I am – multi-tasking!
In the above photo you will see the Sassy! Animal Instinct Dress in Pink/White. This is the second group gift from Sassy in celebration of 20K inworld members and while I am wearing it au naturel… it does come with all kinds of appliers for those who wear the meshy bits. This group is free to joinand there are previous gifts to pick up as well.
I also wanted to share news about a fabulous sale at Essenz Footwear. They are celebrating one year in SL with a huge, must visit anniversary sale. All of their Slink Add-on shoes at the mainstore are 50% off until July 28th (fatpacks excluded).
In addition to the half off sale, there are also extra colours for sale in new colour fatpacks and they have formed an inworld group which you can join for free, THIS WEEK ONLY! After the first week, the join fee will be changed to 350L. When you become an Essenz VIP you will receive FREE GIFTS and 15% store credit on every purchase.

This has been an extremely difficult post for me to write. In fact, it has taken me all week to finish it! The reason is because this will be my last post for FabFree… at least for a while. Some RL opportunities presented themselves to me a couple months ago, and I decided that the time was right for me to pursue them. Unfortunately, this means I will no longer be able to keep up with the busy FabFree blogging schedule. :-( But who knows… I may turn up in a guest post once in a while. And I may be back if/when RL settles down. What I know for certain is that I will really miss this fabulous group of bloggers, and I will truly miss all of you wonderful readers.
Ok, enough mush. I wanted to leave you with a special post, so here goes! :-) My pretty, green dress is the latest subscriber gift from DaneMarkZ. I really like the texture and the summery “feel” to it. And this gorgeous ponytail hair is the latest group gift from LeLutka. You get a huge fatpack of colors, so you’re sure to find one you like!
This creamy skin is Glam Affair’s Livy in the Arctic 05 flavor. You can try your luck to win her for 100L at The Arcade Gacha. My pretty jewelry is a group gift from Baby Monkey, and includes the earrings, necklace, and ring, as well as a HUD with 9 different textures. The applier for my nails is a subscriber gift from {Wicked} Peach, and it includes 6 textures for fingers and toes.
N-Core Design recently put out these gorgeous shoes as a group gift. The heel is texture-change, and of course, you can change your pedicure. N-Core shoes come with their own feet, but the skin matching system is pretty awesome. I had no trouble at all matching to my pale Glam Affair skin, although I did have to play with the sizing a teensy bit. The water fountain in the background is a group gift from [we’re CLOSED], and my cute Frenchie pup can be found in a gacha at The Chapter Four (Love showed the cream-colored pup, as well as the Dandelion and Bumblebee Fairies here).
A few decor items of note… the burger and lemonade meal is a group gift from ISPACHI. You must join the Love to Decorate group to get it (sign is next to the gift). The table, chair, and wall art are a group gift from *ionic*. Both groups are free to join, and there are other gifts for you to snap up while you are in the stores. The Fairy Terrarium and the box with the clipboard, magnifying glass, etc., are also from the Ohmai fairy gacha at The Arcade. The pretty pink rose bush behind the chair is by StoraxTree for The Pier Market. And the payphone on the wall is from the .floorplan. gacha at Kustom9.
Another view here. Both the record player and the vintage camera are from The Arcade.
I won’t say good-bye, but I will say “until next time.” Be good to each other, and remember to always stay fabulous! :-D
Just a quickie post to show you a few FREE items available around the grid!
First up I have the sweet Charlene Dress…FREE from Prism as part of the Breakfast at Tiffanny’s Hunt. I styled the outfit with another FREE item…the Carley mesh hair (previously featured by florarod HERE), from *~*Damselfly*~*, is available for FREE at the “Fashion Art” Event. The Aurora Black/White Pattern Platform Heels are from [L.Warwick] absolutely FREE for members of the SL Frees & Offers Group (FREE to join). There is a sign to join the SL Frees & Offers Group next to the shoes at the [L.Warwick] Store. My pose, for this photo, is FREE from Behaviorbody (no group required) as part of the Cherie Full Pack of poses.
My next outfit comes courtesy of Loordes of London…this Moulin Rouge Corset and undies is their FREE prize from the Sexy and I Know it Hunt. I styled it with another pair of sexy FREE heels, previously featured by Pru HERE, from [L.Warwick] for the members of the SL Frees & Offers Group. My hair is Grable Hair (Bangs) from Tableau Vivant…it is NOT free but can be found on sale at the latest round of COLLABOR88. The Vintage Dressing Screen Pose prop, from {what next}, is NOT free.
Below I am showing a close up of the two pair of FREE shoes being offered from [L.Warwick] for the members of the SL Frees & Offers Group (FREE to join).
Happy shopping/hunting and stay Fabulously Free! <3<3

Hello Fabulouses :) I have some great news today for you today if you love BIG SALES! Who doesn’t love big sales?? [glow] Designs is doing some spring cleaning and is offering huge discounts on their older designs at their mainstore. You will find fashions priced as low as 30L! Some of these items will be retired after the sale, so make sure you head on over to make sure you pick up anything you like before it is gone for good. There are sale tags on the promotional items, however there are also some unmarked deals on certain colours of newer stock too. You’ll have to scan the prices for these secret specials. This sale runs until the end of the month.
The Strapless Horse Print Dress I am wearing today is on special for 65L at [glow] Designs, and it inspired me to pull out my Hobby Horse and go for a ride. I picked up this fun toy at a Gacha Event when Serena blogged it way back [HERE], and the event is now over, but you can still play for these fun Hobby Horses at the {what next} store for 50L per play. These horses come with a built in riding animation that is so much fun lol.
I am also wearing Phoebe’s Piercings Fallen Heart Mesh Jewelry Set that includes the necklace and L & R rings, which can be found at the new FabFree Headquarters in the Gift Gallery for FREE! If you haven’t had a chance to check out the FabFree Headquarters Gift Gallery, make some time!! There are nearly 60 FABULOUS & FREE gifts waiting for you
Have a fabulous day! <3

Those of you who know me on Facebook have probably figured out that I’m a pretty serious coffee enthusiast. In fact, there are some days when I think the only reason I get out of bed in the morning is to have coffee! Anyway, when I learned that ++HY’s++ was giving away this fabulous coffee house as a gift for their 2nd Anniversary Hunt, I just knew I had to have it. I’ve always wanted to have a little store or hangout in SL, and since I don’t build or make things, a coffee house is perfect! This sweet little shop can be YOURS too once you find the birdhouse (which is a cute gift in itself). You only have until February 9th though, so don’t delay!
I really can’t wait to get started decorating! I hated to show you an empty build, but I knew I wouldn’t get finished in time for you to get the gift. Plus, when you land at ++HY’s++, you can visit a decorated sample, if you want to see what it looks like full of stuffs. Before I knew the build would be a hunt gift, I shot these pictures of Gavin at the sample at ++HY’s++.
Another view of the interior. I really love the detail in this build. The counter even raises up and down so you can get behind it to serve your customers. :-)
The fireplace here is a past hunt gift from DIGS, and is not included. I just think a building is bare without a fireplace, so I dropped this one in. Oh! I forgot to tell you that the awnings on the front porch are texture-change; 5 different textures are included.
What am I wearing? Well, the “caffeinated raccoon” t-shirt is a free gift for all from PRISM Designs, and my ripped tights are a free gift from {Tilly} on the Marketplace. I really love these studded shoes, which are a subscriber gift from *Cashmere&Keane*; they come in both men’s and women’s sizes with a sock or no-sock option. And my comic-covered bag is the Bag It! Pack It! Clutch It! Hunt gift from Eclectic Stars; two designs are included in the box.
So, there you have it. Nessie and I are going to be busy making plans to decorate our new coffee house! :-D
So let me just tell you, it’s been one of “those” sort of weekends. Nothing has gone right, and as much as I adore the weekend, for now, I’m kinda glad it’s nearly over. So this post is definitely an escape from anything stressful and un-fun! I wanted to feel playful, casual and cute. I think I’ve accomplished that with a few really great finds. Though this isn’t a color palate I would normally wear, I have to admit I really do enjoy this very cute casual look. I feel like I need to have some girlfriends over so we can paint our nails, or just jump on the bed and laugh together!
Here are the details, Enjoy!
