Fun With FabFree

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I was in the mood to feel fabulous, courtesy of the many participating designers of FabFree in SL. Their inworld group is free to join, and entitles you to a bevy of wonderful group gifts. I also greatly appreciate being kept up to date on so many sales, events, and special offers as the group and blog have done for my entire time in SL. I have always been a very grateful fan :) Their listing of gifts seems to be constantly growing, with clothing and accessories for men and women as well as some home decor and other special treats. 

My first visit was to GeMyles, where I happily claimed their Natalea Dress & Heels gift by right clicking the sign, paying $1L, and was immediately refunded while the gift was delivered. This versatile look includes the dress in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique bodies, with coordinated heels in Belleza, TMP, Maitreya, and Slink High sizing. There is also a HUD provided with 32 solid colors to choose from (tints the entire dress plus shoes all at once) along with 3 patterns each for two sections of the dress, bodice and top ruffle. As always, I suggest having some fun clicking various buttons and seeing what look you create, then adjusting to your tastes. 

For a casual gift with a hippie flavor, be sure to visit Oldurmek & Co. with your FabFree "I am Fabulous" tag active to pick up their O & C Nonee Lounger. It comes in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizes, and is a one-piece romper with the appearance of two. Tie dye does make me smile, as you can probably guess if you've read here before :) There is also a male gift at this store, in the very same room, so bring your favorite male friends or grab it for your male alt if you wish.

Vips Creations is ready for business with their FabFree group gift, this striking Laura-Green outfit. The shirtdress has a fitted version for classic avatars, as well as sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique bodies. The matching shoes come in Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink high sizes, and the handbag is provided in 3 different hold pose versions, two of which can be seen above.

'Tis the season...no, not that season, swimsuit season! The current FabFree group gift from -LEIGH- is their Flirty Swimsuit that definitely lives up to its name. The top and bottom are provided in standard mesh sizes as well as Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP versions. There is also a HUD included with 3 color choices, so you can decide what shade of floral pattern you prefer.

My final look of the evening comes from Phoebe, and is a pair of dresses called *P* Olivia Mesh Dresses. There are Summer (left above) and Tropical textures, each in sizes for eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh body sizes, plus a standard version for classic avatars. I do love halter style dresses, and this plunging neckline is a beautiful detail to show off cleavage. 

It was an adventurous day, but not in a good way. One of my toenails decided to dig in deeper after being trimmed I guess, and this morning I realized it was painful, red, and swollen. The podiatrist's office got me in within less than a hour of calling, and the doctor confirmed it is infected which meant more cutting and two antibiotics (oral and topical). Ugh. I will also be soaking my foot daily until my follow-up visit next week. It was just so sudden, felt fine this time last night, so it was quite a shock. At least I don't have a fever to go with the infection, and we certainly caught it early. Oh well, it could have been far worse and I am following all the instructions to make sure it heals well. I definitely need more sleep tomorrow though ;) I hope you're all having a peaceful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

These Dreams

Hiya everyone! Tonight it is time to explore the Womenstuff Hunt a little further, for those irresistible $0L or $1L prizes. They are all hidden inside red t-shirts with green and brown stripes this round, so be sure to follow the hints on the website so you pick up the current gift instead of an older one (red or red/white shirts) by mistake. You can tell I'm speaking from experience there ;) It is a terrific way to liven up your wardrobe for the end of fall into the winter, while being kind to your linden balance.

"A dream is a wish your heart makes..." is the familiar wisdom quoted on our free prize from Moonstar. It is called MESH A Dream is a Wish T-Shirt by Moonstar, and it is included in fitmesh standard sizes as well as eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh body versions. The delicate shade of blue is a pretty backdrop for the text, and for the crescent moon surrounded by stars.

Another top that goes great with my Delizio jeans (marketplace freebie that appears on my blog quite often) is the free prize from Oldumek Co. called 1698 Womenstuff Top. It features a loose blouse style with gathered waist and orange ombre that is ideal for fall. The prize includes 3 classic sizes (S,M,L) along with Freya, Venus, Maitreya, Ocacin, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, Tonic Fine, and Voluptuous versions. 

This particular color is a hot one for this autumn and winter, so I was excited to see it on our gift from Exquisitely Exposed. It's called Exquisitely Cozy in Teal, and comes in sizes for standard, eBody Classic, eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine. The high neckline and long sleeves are a fun contrast to the short hemline.

Speaking of mini dresses with long sleeves, how about this cozy *WW* Fall Leaves Holiday Sweater? :) This can be yours for only one linden, and there are actually two shirts hiding in the store for us to find. This treat comes in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies, with a mock turtleneck and ruffles to add some pizzazz. 

My final look of the evening can be found in the other shirt at Waffles, their *WW* Autumn Love Harness Gown. The top is a solid color, while the full skirt is scattered with multicolored flowers of various designs. This $1L prize consists of standard mesh sizes along with Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP mesh body versions. Lovely!

It has been a chilly but fairly peaceful day, although tomorrow evening will be a lot less peaceful thanks to a hockey game ;) I tend to get rowdy, regardless of the outcome, since it's the only sport I pay attention to. I hope you're all having a beautiful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
