A Gift From a Dove

Hello Fabulouses and Happy Saturday!  The pupster and I are popping in quickly to share this maxi skirt outfit that I picked up as a free group gift over at The Free Dove.  Way back when I was new to SL, someone introduced me to this marvelous shop, where I began my love affair with SL fashion.  Every so often, I return to check out the new arrivals, and this visit did not disappoint!  I came away with a swagger in my step and several new additions to my inventory.

She Has a Gypsy Soul

The Gypsy Swagger Outfit from Eclectique features a halter style top paired with a maxi skirt with a definite Bohemian vibe.  I love the deep, rich color scheme of this gift!  The two pieces can be worn separately, which adds to the versatility of the outfit.  The skirt features a darker waist panel with a drawstring bow hanging down, and a patterned fabric which ends in a slightly flared hemline.  The solid wine colored top echoes the predominant hue from the skirt.  You can pick up this boho-styled set for free, just for being a member of the Free Dove group.

Mesh Body Compatibility:

• Maitreya
• Slink Hourglass
• Slink Physique

I hope you are having a lovely weekend!  Until my next post, happy shopping!

Pool Side

Hello hello Fab Free’rs! I’m glad you’re here. This cute little pup and I have been having some fun by the pool. Being pools side gave me the perfect excuse to wear this cute little outfit from Tiar. It’s one of the many current Fabulously Free in SL group gifts. I also picked up this cute upper-body tattoo by Primal on the Marketplace after Love pointed it out to me. I really like the freckle-like hearts. I hope you enjoy these fabulous freebies!

The Outfit – This cute little two-piece is perfect for lounging by the pool or walking along the beach. It comes in several mesh sizes and is free to all Fabulously Free in SL group members. You can pick it up at Tiar while wearing your Fabulously Free in SL group tag. At the Tiar landing point you can take the teleporter to the gifts area, or just head strait to the back of the store. This Fab Free gift along with a gift for the guys is waiting with the Tiar group gift, camping chairs, and Lucky Letter boards.
Mesh Sizes Included: Maitreya Lara, Belleza (Isis, Freya, Venus), Slink (Hourglass, Physique)

The Tattoo – I really like that this tattoo by Primal gives you little hearts across your chest and shoulders, as well as on your hands. I think it’s a very dainty tattoo. It is free on the Marketplace. With this free gift you’ll get Omega appliers and classic system layers in Faded, Normal, and Fresh options. The system layers make this tattoo suitable for classic avatars as well as mesh.

P.S. Two of the pool-side props are Marketplace freebies/cheapies I wanted to let you in on as well. I’ll link them in the credits with their cost so you can pick them up as well!

Dream On

I’m not much of a napper, but I could go for one right about now. I went to the Epiphany earlier. I’m exhausted. That is such a great event, but a little overwhelming because there is sooooo much awesome stuff. And gachas, of course! Who doesn’t love gachas? Nobody, that’s who. And this round there are a bunch of presents scattered about. You don’t need to join a group to get them or anything, just give them a click and they’re yours for free! I’m wearing two of them today.

Sexy Dress

This dress is quite the eye catcher. It is the Epiphany free gift from Luas. I thought it would be cute as a bathing suit cover up too, but couldn’t be bothered to dig out a suit. I’m sleepy, okay? So the applier undies that I’m always wearing will be just fine for my nap. But don’t be fooled, this dress is super hot and the texture is fabulous. It comes in 4 sizes: Freya, Hourglass, Isis, and Maitreya.

Pretty Shoes

I love the pretty floral pattern on these flats. The fit is a Maitreya exclusive. You’ll find them at Epiphany as the free gift from Breathe. I suppose it’s time for me to kick them off and get more comfy, but they’re so cute that I don’t want to!

Hey there Fabulous Readers!  I’m just working on my six pack today, in celebration of finding you yet another FREE BIKINI!  Us girls at FabFree have been stocking you the heck up in the swimwear department over the last few weeks, and they just keep coming!  I sure don’t mind…  It gives me an excuse to head to the beach, which is my favourite place to be in Second Life anyways lol.

Tequila, Feineken, I like both!

You can find this TEQUILA Bikini Gift which is a tye died set that includes the top, bottom and sarong, set for 0L at Toxic Bish right at the entrance doors.  The sign does say that it is a group gift, however you can simply purchase it if you don’t have the group space to join their group (that may change… don’t quote me!).  Also included is a texture change HUD with two colour options – primary as shown in my photo and pastels!

In the Forest of My Dreams

Hello there, Fabulouses!  At the Mystical Fae Forest, Ripley and I found an enchanted harp surrounded by softly glowing candles.  As we stepped closer, the wind began to pluck the strings, playing a lovely, haunting tune.  The pupster and I stood entranced as even the local reindeer paused, and tilted their heads to listen to the melody.  It was a magical night in a forest of dreams.

A Fabulous Frock for a Legendary Evening

Emma is the latest free group gift from Legendaire.  With a solid-colored bodice and hem, accented with bright swirls of paisley, this maxi dress is slender at the waist to emphasize my figure, but ends with a comfortably loose, slightly ruffled skirt.   Narrow straps left my shoulders free to feel the caress of moonlight on my skin.  The gift box includes a HUD which offers a choice of 3 textures.  I was torn between the dark blue and magenta floral swirls, a bold black and white pattern with pops of pale teal, and this red, white and teal paisley pattern.  Every one of the options was equally appealing.  Although joining the Legendaire group will set you back 99L, there is an entire wall in the shop packed with 12 group gifts, all free for members.  A teleporter on the floor will whisk you off to a plethora of other outfits also set out free for group members.  I considered 99L a fair investment for so many generous gifts.

What’s Included:

• Mesh in XXS, XS, S, M, L
• Alpha layer for classic avatars
• Emma HUD with 3 texture options
• Emma flats (not shown)

All Good Things Come to an End

As the clock approached midnight, my canine Prince Charming nudged my hand, breaking the spell, and reminding me that this Cinderella has to get up bright and early for RL work tomorrow.  Bidding the reindeer and the spellbinding harp farewell, Ripley and I journeyed home.  Until my next post, here’s wishing you magical encounters, and happy shopping!

It’s Always Sunny in Second Life

Have Pool Will Travel 

Hello there Fab Free’rs! I don’t know about you, but I am so glad it’s the weekend. I plan to spend the whole weekend in this cute little inflatable pool. This fun Marketplace Freebie is wearable and animated, so you can lounge in the pool any time any place! The pool’s creator is June Trenkins of JT, and she thoughtfully included the beach ball, and butterfly in this animated item.  Get your copy of this fun FREE wading pool on the Marketplace.

Good Day Sunshine

I suppose you could wear whatever you wanted or nothing at all if you’re so inclined to wade in the pool. I decided to take advantage of the most recent Fab Free Group Gift at Brandy’s Boutique and relax in style! This applier bikini includes classic system layers, and a flexy add on for the bikini top (not shown). You can pick up this FREE Fab Free exclusive gift by wearing your Fab Free group tag and heading over to Brandy’s Boutique.

Appliers included:

• Belleza
• Lena

Show Some Skin

One of the best things about a bikini for a tattoo lover like myself is the ability to show off your tattoos! I picked up this beautiful full body tattoo on the Marketplace from a shop called Natti for just 50 lindens. The tattoo includes appliers and classic tattoo layers in 4 tones. These mandala/paisley type shapes and swirls always make me think of summer!

Appliers Included:

• Maitreya
• Omega

You Gonna Miss Me, Early In The Morning, One Of These Days

Hello Fabulous Readers 🙂  Just popping by to share news that Luna Sabia has out several ladies mesh dresses as group gifts and lucky board prizes!

Today I am wearing the Maxi Dress Half Sleeve Retro that is available as free group gift after you activate your free inworld group tag.  This dress comes in a full range of sizes with the co-ordinating alpha layer and also works well with the Maitreya Lara Mesh Body alpha layer system.

In my photo I am also displaying a little group gift from Sway’s!  Their group is 250L to join, but after you do, you gain access to a selection of group gifts.  One of those gifts is the Sea Shell Candles I have sprinkled around my little sunshiny lounge corner.  These come in four colour variations and I think these cute shell candles would be very nice as outdoor décor too.
