Well Hello again and Happy Friday Fab Free’rs! This week I’m happy to share with you a little about ZOZ. I’ve always liked that store name, ZOZ. I think it sounds like something mysterious and powerful. For those who are new to Second Life or simply haven’t encountered ZOZ before, it is one of Second Life’s top shops for your manicure and pedicure needs. ZOZ has been part of Second Life for as long as I can recall, which says saying a lot. I’ve been around forever! At the ZOZ main location you’ll find room after room of gorgeous nail appliers for just about every mesh hand out there. ZOZ also makes a set of nails. The ZOZ nails are fun in that they are much longer and shapelier than the nails you can achieve wearing mesh hands only. One of the unique things about shopping at ZOZ is you can purchase individual applier sets, rather than buying big pack of multiple appliers. Most (if not all) of the available appliers will work for both hands and feet.
At the ZOZ landing point, you’ll be instantly aware of the carefully cultivated atmosphere. In one word, ZOZ is posh! You’ll also find two awesome deals waiting right at the entrance. To the left you’ll find the most recent Saturday Sale offer, which is still available and will be for several days. This beautiful rose nail polish design is priced at just 75 lindens per applier type. Directly to the right you’ll find the most recent 60L Secret offer from ZOZ. Equally pretty, this nail polish set is just 60 lindens per applier type. Make sure you purchase the correct applier for your mesh hands or for you ZOZ nails. Also at the entrance, you’ll see a big pink sign with hearts. This sign is a big deal in that it announces the major sale going on at ZOZ. From now until February 14th the entire store is 50% off. This is huge! If you’re a long time fan of ZOZ like I am, or you’re new and want to try a few things out, this sale is one you won’t want to miss out on.
Finally, at the back of the main room just behind the information desk, you’ll find information about current events and store affiliations. To the left are event posters with information and group joiners. You’ll also find the exclusive Fabulously Free in SL group gift from ZOZ. This lovely gift has been blogged several times on the Fab Free blog, but was originally shown by Kathryn in her post here. To get this generous FREE gift you’ll of course need to wear your Fab Free group tag. Want to know what’s available at the Events before you teleport over? ZOZ has you covered there, to the right of the “Events” section, you’ll find “Event Items” where there’s a full display of the nail appliers available at each event. You can also get a landmark to each event by clicking the display photo. Needless to say if you have been neglecting your nails or if you’re nail applier addict, ZOZ is the store for you.
Happy Sunday, Fabulouses! I have quick, time sensitive post to share with you today featuring a free group gift. The group is free to join only until January 31st, so don’t delay if you would like to scoop up this lovely gift for free.
While Rip and I wandered about SL, a group notice popped up on my screen announcing the latest group gift from MMC Store. As soon as I opened the texture included in the notice, and had a peek at the Celline dress, I knew she was destined for my inventory. Quick as a wink, I teleported over to the shop, joined the group, and scooped up Celline, as well as the 5 other group gifts featured on the wall just inside the door.
Every girl needs a slinky, black dress and this little number is just about as perfect as you can get. With a daring neckline, sexy cut out, satiny fabric, and darling ties in the back, Celline hugs your curves in all the right places. Simple enough to wear to work, yet easily accessorized and glammed up for an evening date, this dress is a valuable addition to your SL closet. The 16-texture HUD included with the gift opens up a wide range of possibilities beyond merely a black dress. As of January 29th, the group is free to join, and the dress is one of six free group gifts available to members. As I stated earlier, the free join is for a limited time only, so if you have a hankering for this frock, I’d suggest you pop on over to the MMC Store right away. After the 31st, the join fee will increase to 50L. Even at that price, this dress is well worth the fee!
What’s Included
That’s it for now, my friends. I hope you enjoy the rest of your Sunday. Until my next post, happy shopping!

Hello Fabulouses! With a smattering of days left in January, Ripley and I decided to dust off his tracking harness, and try our luck at rounding up a few hunt prizes to share with you. After reading about the Cute and Curvy Hunt 2 in Edi’s posts {HERE} and {HERE}, we opted to put the pupster’s nose to the test over at Firelight Creations first.
The Cute and Curvy Hunt 2 icon, a lollipop, was indeed cleverly hidden in the Firelight Creations store. It took some dedication, circling around and around the shop, and searching high and low. I had almost given up in frustration, when Rip gave a sudden tug to the leash, yanked it out of my hand, and bolted off. A mad scramble followed with me trying to keep pace with his flying paws. I caught up with him as he sat and stared intently at the prize location. After purchasing the hunt gift for just one little Linden dollar, we teleported home to examine our bounty. Tucked inside the package, I happily discovered the Nixie Denim Set, a versatile collection of jeans in various lengths from shorts to the full pant style I chose to wear for our photo. The dark denim jeans are perfect for a casual hike through the woods as Ripley and I chose to do, or they can be glammed up… it all depends on how you accessorize them. I really liked the realistic denim hue, and the details of the stitching and rivets. If you’d like to claim this wonderful collection of jeans for yourself, head on over to Firelight Creations before the hunt ends on January 31st.
What’s Included
Here’s the vendor picture so you can see all the trousers that are included in this prize pack:
With the chilly winter temperatures, I wanted a warm and cozy top to wear as Rip and I explored the picturesque Winter Trace sim, and the Outlet Marketplace Hunt prize from AmAzInG CrEaTiOnS was ideal. Thick and comfortable, with a cheery pink, red, and burgandy plaid pattern, this poncho wrapped me in stylish comfort. It buttons on the side of the neck and is long enough to ensure my tummy is shielded from any winter breezes traipsing around. From the hunt prize picture, it looks like the texture of the poncho can be modified, but since I love red, I opted to keep it in its original form. Also included in the prize package is a long sleeve dress, but I chose to don only the cape. One nice thing about this hunt is Ripley and I didn’t have to circle around, hunting through a physical store. All we had to do was peruse the AmAzInG CrEaTiOnS Marketplace shop. It didn’t take long at all to locate the hunt gift, add it to my cart, and check out for a grand total of 10L well-spent. If you’d like to scoop up this poncho for yourself, don’t delay, as the Outlet Marketplace Hunt ends January 30th.
As Rip and I strolled along, exploring Winter Trace, this darling little feathered friend alighted on my outstretched hand. Its cheerful presence made me think of the Emily Dickinson poem “Hope is a Thing With Feathers.” I paused, listened to his cheerful song, then snapped this photo before the little guy fluttered on his way. Our hearts lighter after our avian encounter, Rip and I headed home. My wish for you, my friends, is that hope fills your hearts today. Until my next post, happy shopping! Just for fun, here is a link to the famous poem set to music and beautifully sung.

Hello Fabulouses. Do any of you know if the SL version of AAA services tractors? In RL, I’ve run out of gas, had a dead battery, and locked my keys in the car. Every time, the AAA rep arrived like a knight in shining armor, and saved me. However, today…. I don’t think that will be the case. 😦 After Ripley and I returned from our trip, a friend of mine called, saying he needed help with plowing his field. When I saw the rusted condition of his tractor, I glanced at him dubiously. “The tank is full,” he said. My eyebrow raised. “I just tuned it up,” he said. Both eyebrows raised. “Nothing to worry about,” he said. Famous. Last. Words. She did start up like a charm, I’ll grant him that, but after one trip around the field, with a shudder and a cough, she just….gave….up. No amount of coaxing, no amount of promises of Ripley snacks, no amount of helpless pounding on the steering wheel worked. I was stranded.
Well, if I have to be stuck with a stubborn, tired old tractor, at least I look glamorous in my Retro Pin Up Outfit from Meli Imako. With a vintage, knotted checkered top, and fitted denim capris, this adorable number makes me feel like a sexy, fifties pin up girl. I love the detail the designer put into this creation such as the slightly puffed sleeves, buttons on the shirt, and the pocket accents on the pants. This outfit is the featured free January gift at Meli Imako’s Marketplace store because it earned the most likes on the designer’s Facebook page. I’d have to agree with all the votes……it’s a great choice!
What’s Included:
I admit it, my heels are in no way practical for driving a tractor around a field, but they called my name. As soon as I saw the Cinzia pumps fat pack featured in the KC Couture Marketplace store for only 75L, I knew they had to be mine. Constructed of rigged mesh, these classic heels have a timeless elegance which totally complemented my retro ensemble. A 30 color texture HUD makes these shoes extremely versatile. You can customize them to go with any outfit. These stilettos require mesh feet, and fit Slink High, Maitreya, Belleza and the Eve Mesh Body. I wouldn’t recommend wearing them for a day of plowing, but hey, it’s SL! Where else could I drive a tractor and walk around in muddy, scrubby fields, and never mar my shoes?
I don’t think help will arrive any time soon. It’s time for this girl to save herself, and hoof it on back to civilization. I’ve got a pup at home who is probably worried sick about me. Until my next post, happy shopping!

Hello there, Fab Free! Once again, Astrid inspired me, this time by mentioning warm weather (another great idea, Astrid!). I, too, have been feeling the need to escape gray days, sweaters, and chilly temperatures. The Salt Water sim provided the perfect tranquil hideaway for Ripley and I. We enjoyed a lovely afternoon strolling on the beach, walking off those extra midnight margarita calories from Friday night (thank you, Love!). With nothing but gently crashing waves, the cries of far off seabirds, and tangy breezes, it was a welcome relief from the daily grind.
Grateful for the ideal climate and mild temperature, I happily slipped into Abril, a sleek, embroidered free lucky board prize from The Beautiful Ones. In my last post {HERE}, I showcased a gorgeous TBO gown, and mentioned all the goodies that are included with the 25L join fee for the group. The chance to win Abril in several different shades is one of those extra bonuses. The sienna version I am wearing today features an intricate embroidery pattern layered above a background that fades from a deep, reddish brown to a pale, creamy hue. Sleeveless and figure hugging, this frock is fit for a sophisticated night out, or a casual afternoon with friends, depending on how you accessorize your look. The prize package contains mesh in standard sizes (XXS, XS, S, M, L) and the coordinating alpha layer. By adjusting the alpha of my Maitreya Lara mesh body, I was able to wear the classic style just fine. To add Abril to your inventory, simply head over to The Beautiful Ones, activate your group tag, and make the short trip upstairs where you will find the group-only lucky chair. While you are there, give the midnight madness boards a tap, and you might be adding more loveliness to your wardrobe, as well!
After donning my new sheath-style dress, I turned around to see Ripley perched on my chair with the Mandala Marketplace shop brought up on my screen. Upon noticing my raised eyebrow, he gave me a sheepish grin, nudged the monitor, then jumped down so I could check out his latest find. The pupster struck gold (literally), at 70% off no less, with these Luck earrings in gold and brown. In a large, hoop style with a beautiful metal texture, and dangles, they matched the tone of my frock perfectly….all for only 57L! With my free dress and sale priced earrings, I splurged, and scooped up the coordinating Luck necklace for 70 percent off as well. The necklace has a resize option, which is handy because it comes in a unisex version, and was a bit large for my figure at first, but after a little tweaking, it worked well. I tossed my canine pal a few Ripley-snacks as I added my new baubles to my outfit, grabbed his leash and his favorite ball, then we journeyed over to the beach for a welcome, stress-free break. I hope you have a relaxing Sunday yourselves, dear readers. Until my next post, happy shopping!

Well, hello again Wonderful Readers! Last Sunday, Ripley and I shared the Militar dress from Scandalize Creations with you in our blog post here. While scooping up that darling camo mini, I couldn’t help but notice the other group gifts on the wall, so today we traveled back to Scandalize to pick up another Fabulous Find.
Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve always had a thing for paisley. There’s something almost hypnotic about the intricate, swirling patterns. This free Revlu skirt combines my most beloved fabric motif with my top color choice, red – two wins in my book! With its vibrant print, black waistband, and leg-flattering length, this cheery skirt is sure to remain a favorite in my wardrobe far into the future. To add Revlu to your SL inventory, simply head on over to Scandalize, join the group for free, and tap the picture on the group gifts wall.
Playing off the hue of Revlu’s waistband, the black, loosely knotted, leather crop top from Beck complements the skirt without overpowering it. I like the sheen of the texture and the way the ends of the ties cascade down my midsection in soft waves. Slender straps leave my shoulders bare to soak up some warm SL rays. Although I enjoy brisk fall days, this summer-loving-girl still longs to frolic in the sun, and today’s outfit is perfect for just that. Oh, how I wish I could control the climate in RL as I can in SL! A short, simple Elements necklace from Wazzer Works, at The Chapter Four, perfectly accessorized my outfit.
While out on a relaxing bike ride with my canine pal happily trotting alongside, we passed by the Ricielli store and spotted a sign announcing the Halloween Hunt currently taking place. Each pumpkin in the hunt costs 15L, and these Kyra high heels are just one of 20 prizes to be found. These slinky shoes come in three shades (blood, midnight, potion), and are the perfect footwear to glam up any outfit.
On our way over to the Yasminia sim for a little exploration, Rip and I decided to take a quick detour over to the Hairology event after reading Pru’s beautifully written post here. At Hairology, Ripley sniffed out this free, medium length, center-parted Bezoar hair from Mithral. This is just one of many free hairstyles generous designers have set out for all to enjoy. The package includes a color-change HUD jam-packed with 30 textures to choose from. Sweet and sophisticated at the same time, Bezoar will flatter any avatar.
I hope you have spotted something in today’s post that inspired you to create a Fabulous Find of your own. Until next time, my friends, happy shopping!

I found my Halloween costume, and just in time too! It seems like zombies and zombie hunters are everywhere this year, and for good reason. Like the vampires of years past, zombies have taken over television and movies in a big way. That said, when I saw this wicked bloody tank top from COCO, my mind instantly went to zombie land. Thankfully, Second Life is awash with creativity, and I was able to find most of what I needed to put this look together without letting go of too many lindens.
I mentioned the tank top as the centerpiece that inspired this “Infected Zombie Hunter” look. It’s one of several FREE group gifts available at COCO. Before I go into detail about the top, when going to the COCO store to add this to your wardrobe, be mindful of which section you’re shopping in. The COCO store is huge, and there are sections dedicated to their doll avatars as well as regular avatars. You’ll find a version of this top in both sections, so don’t get fooled like I did. Make sure you’re in the section with ladies clothing and not doll clothes. LOL That little bit of information out of the way, once you’re in the right place you’ll find a full wall of group gifts with a group joiner near by. The COCO group is FREE to join. Once you’re wearing your COCO group tag, all the gifts are FREE as well, just click the vendors. This bloody tank top gift is fully mesh, and comes in several body fit sizes, and standard mesh sizes.
Anyone who knows me knows it would be completely out of character for me to go all gore and no glam, even on Halloween. I needed to be a little bloody but still wanted to keep it pretty, Izzie’s had just the thing. These bloody eyes and lips are from an applier package I found by Izzie’s for FREE on the Marketplace. The listing says it’s a limited time Halloween gift, so I’d imagine after today (Oct. 31st) the price will go up. These delicate blood drips can be applied either to the eyes, the lips, or both in 3 shades of red. This FREE set includes appliers for as well as classic system layers. I’m really thrilled with the end result, so don’t miss out on this fun bit of gore by Izzie’s while you can still get it at this fantastic freebie.
Speaking of the Marketplace, I also stumbled across this set of bloody eyes by Inkheart. These mesh eyes were just too perfect to pass up, especially since they are just 1 linden. These “vampire” eyes come in 3 mesh sizes, along with matching system layers. I think they would be spook-tacular with any ghoulish costume!
Continuing on with the idea of being glamorous at all times, this manicure from ZOZ was the perfect finishing touch. Who says a Zombie Hunter can’t have perfectly polished claws?! This particular shade of glossy red is part of the Fab Free exclusive group gift at ZOZ. Just wear your Fab Free tag and click the vendor on the circulation desk at the ZOZ main store, and you’ll be sent your FREE gift. The set has also been featured in one of Katherine’s beautiful posts, and of course in the Fab Free Group Gift Listing by Love. The Fab Free Group Gift List shows the full set of fall colors that are included in this gorgeous nail polish gift.
