Free and Fabulous

Hiya everyone! Tonight I am still on a group gift kick, because it's a fun opportunity to visit various stores to see what's new there, and we get a treat for stopping by. The FabFree group is the inworld companion to the Fabulous Free in SL blog, of which I have been a longtime fan as I've mentioned here plenty of times :) Their group is free to join, and there are so many generous designers who offer gifts for this group that it is absolutely worth a precious group slot. The blog will keep you informed about sales and special offers along with events taking place in SL. There is a page on the website that shows you all the current group gifts, very handy!

My first stop was De'Fient Unicorn, where I claimed this flashy mini called *DU*Cindy's Holiday Dress. It includes a classic version as well as eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique versions. The sheer black top is very flattering against the sparkly bodice, isn't it?

Revelation is offering this thoughtful gift to all FabFree members, called Juh Dress in 12 colors. It is provided in sizes for Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh bodies, with a HUD that offers a dozen options including a handful of prints like the one on the right. To find this gift, you'll need to head to the group gift room (I think it was to the right) and look on the floor in front of the group signs, there are packages on the floor and ours is the on the front row, right side. If you click the wrong one don't worry, it'll just tell you that you're wearing the wrong group tag. I think this dress is short enough to make a great tunic style top, so feel free to layer it over your favorite jeans/leggings too.

This cozy look comes from Sevyn East and is their January Dress. It includes Freya, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine sizes, with a HUD offering 4 color choices. This is another style that might look good with pants layered beneath, as I'm imagining jeans to complement the rich knit texture.

I am a fervent advocate/ally of the LGBT+ community, so this gift from La Bella Boutique makes me beam with happiness. It is called {LBB} Diversity Love - Female, and consists of the top and shorts each in standard, eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine sizes. There is also a HUD for each, 11 colors for the shorts and 11 colors for the shirt with an additional treat for the shirt: 6 designs to apply on top of the shirt colors, all positive ideas like the Love is Love on the left or the adorable narwhal "It's okay to be different" I'm wearing on the right. You can also choose to have no design and just wear the shirt as a plain solid color.

My final look of the evening will have you looking for someplace to visit that has an ice skating rink, so you can take full advantage of this NUTS Inc. gift called Marrit Skate Outfit. The sweater and leggings each come in standard mesh sizes plus Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique versions, while the matching ice skates are unrigged and have animations built in. This means you can turn off your AO and walk to see a skating motion instead, very fun! The unrigged aspect lets you adjust them as needed, I just hid my Slink feet to make these look just right.

It has been a busy and tiring weekend, but I am happy to be blogging tonight :) Next weekend will be even busier, so I will probably be taking another day off then too. I will have company and be celebrating my birthday a bit early, so it's all positive things keeping me so occupied. Meanwhile I hope you're all having a terrific day/evening and a good week ahead, with lots of magical magpie hugs for everyone!!
