Fabulous Rewind

Hiya everyone! Tonight I have some group gifts to share, for the FabFree group which is short for Fabulously Free in SL. They are not only an inworld group filled with information on bargains and gifts galore, but they are a blog that I have relied upon for guidance since my earliest days in SL, back when I was still learning to adjust prim skirts because mesh wasn't an option yet. They kept me from being an utter fashion don't, and to dress in a way that suited me while being affordable. The group is free to join, and there are many participating designers who offer group gifts to any visitor with their tag active. I will also be showing you a really fun outfit from Entice at Rewind Y2K, a time in fashion I remember with fondness and amusement. There were bold colors and adventurous styles, and I think the Entice offering embraces those ideas very well.


This first gift for the FabFree group is from the YM SHOP, and is called Althea Split Dress. It is provided in what I call the lucky 13 of mesh sizes (5 standard, 5 fitmesh, Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink) with a HUD that offers 12 different colors for the dress. When you arrive at the store, you don't even need to enter to locate this dress...look to the right, the outside front wall, and you will see the rainbow striped FabFree sign with 2 gifts beneath it.


I did mention two gifts, well the other generous FabFree treat from YM SHOP is this Dandy Outfit, with all those components combined into one easy-to-wear piece in fitmesh standard sizes plus Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink versions. There is also a texture HUD with this gift as well, 8 buttons to explore and see what playful color combos they display. 


I combined two different gifts for this look, but feel free to pair them each with your favorite wardrobe staples. The top is from [satus Inc.] called Rye Tied Straight Top Pink, and comes in sizes for Belleza Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, and fitmesh standard versions. The skirt is the Brit Skirt from Revelation, a high waisted mini with lacing up the front and a gently fluttery style that looks beautiful in all of the 18 textures on the included HUD. That handy HUD also offers 6 colors for the laces in the front, so lots of variety here. The skirt itself is provided in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine versions. To find this gift in the store, look on the other side of the wall behind the front desk and you'll see several different group signs, then beneath there are some packages. The pink one on the far left is the FabFree gift, and should be the only one to distribute a gift when clicked while wearing the correct group tag. I hope that explanation makes sense, it just wasn't labeled and I am hoping to be helpful :)


Our FabFree gift from Tiar called Noa, is delightful for spring with its soft coloring and delicate texture, not to mention the long sleeves with slits to reveal glimpses of our arms. The gift comes in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP, and I'm giving directions again to find a gift...hehe...when you land, the main store is the building to your west (this is why my mini map is always open, just in case) so head west and go inside, through several open doorways to the back wall. You will see the FabFree group sign back there along with the gift to click and claim.


Head to the Rewind Y2K event and you can pick up these fantastic offers from Entice. My top is the Entice - Good Vibrations Top - Fatpack and is $450L for 10 gorgeous colors or $150L for your choice of 8 individual shades. There are 2 in the fatpack that are exclusives to it alone. Sizes include Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique. The tops can be mixed and matched perfectly with the Good Vibrations Leggings & Boots, available at Rewind as a fatpack for $450L. There are 10 textures for the leggings and 10 matching colors for the boots on the included HUD. The leggings/boots combo comes in the same mesh sizes as the top. Those textures really drew me to them, and the vivid colors of the top and boots complement the prints so well. The Rewind event is open until the 5th of March, so you have a few days left to stop by and enjoy. As usual, the Entice mainstore link is in my right sidebar, and the event link is in my ending credits.

Hair note of the night- Truth Hair has a new release at their mainstore, much sooner than expected after technical difficulties that prevented him from being able to offer it at this round of Uber. But don't worry, he is actually offering it at his mainstore for the discounted event price for a limited time :) As I am sure you guessed, it is the hair I'm wearing tonight, and its name is Polly. She comes with a Stylist HUD so you can flip the hair from the pony to either side or both sides, and have hair in the back or all off to the side, with a few different options for the bangs as well. My suggestion is to grab the demo and play with that HUD to see all the ways it can be styled. I did so and obviously could not resist picking up my favorite Redhead color set. 

Not a great day here, a scheduling snafu meant that my dentist could not take care of my little cavities today so I just had a cleaning and will have to go back in almost 2 weeks for the main event. I get to worry the entire time until then, yay! That would be the anxiety talking of course. I'll be okay, just need to focus on other things in the meantime. SL provides a great distraction, especially when the new month brings new hunts and events. I hope you're all having a better day/evening, magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
