Diva Virtual Couture

Hiya everyone! Tonight I have some group gifts to share, from Diva Virtual Couture. Their group is free to join and there are so many gifts waiting for you, a full wall of them in fact. Just wear the tag and give them each a click, it's that easy. It is also nice to have just one place to visit and find all of tonight's looks with a single teleport.


First we have the Joy Couture Carmin Mix dress, a stylish look in red and black that comes in standard mesh sizes as well as Belleza, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique versions. There is also a shoulder add-on in a single size, the black beaded piece that really adds pizazz to this already glam outfit. Another wonderful gift you'll find on the wall is called Joy Couture Accessories, matching earrings and hat to our dress seen here. Feel free to combine these with any outfit you wish, as they will be a welcome addition to just about any style.


This beauty is the Delight Couture Dress Carmin, a uniquely textured long sleeve dress in sizes for Belleza, Maitreya, Slink, and fitmesh standard sizes. I love the intricate double knot at the waist, pulling everything together.


I feel like dancing on a cloud in this gift called Miracle Couture Dress Silver. It comes in a single mesh size that fit my Maitreya body quite nicely. It has a floaty skirt with a sheer layer atop, and can be worn with any of your favorite jewelry or all on its own.


There is quite a change from the prior single color to this riotous mix of bold shades, isn't there? This gift is called Closer for Mesh Bodies SUN, and includes the dress (sizes for eBody, Belleza, Maitreya, Slink, and TMP) plus the feathery shoulder add-on in a matching sunshiny shade. This looks like something you'd see worn at the Met Gala, or a similar opportunity to show off high fashion.


My final look of the evening certainly has the wow factor! It is the Fair Dress Group Gift Carmin, a sleek mini with bare shoulders and daring side slit with what looks like a zipper pull dangling in the opening. The gift includes 5 fitmesh standard sizes plus Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink fits. 

The weekend is almost here, and so is a new month, so I have plenty to look forward to in the next few days :) For the blog it will mean new rounds of events, new hunts, and probably some more group gifts since many stores release them at the beginning of each month. I hope you're all having a terrific day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Long Winter's Nap

Hiya everyone! Tonight I have some time-sensitive treats to share, starting with the Long Winter's Nap Hunt. It ends when November ends, so don't delay if you are interested! The prizes are just $1L each, tucked inside blue oval blankets with a pair of pillows on them also in shades of blue. I must admit, I get a kick out of seeing what the hunt organizers select as the hunt object to represent their themes :) In addition to hunt prizes, I have a lucky chair prize to show you that does not need a group tag to claim, just a little luck that your initial comes up. I am also tickled to share a pair of group gifts from :.C!L.: which does have a $50L joining fee but is worthwhile if you're a fan of theirs like I am.


Our first stop is Grumble, inside whose blanket hides their Snowflake Sweater Black prize. For a mere linden, you can claim it in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP. It's just long enough that I could get away with going pantsless for this photo, but in general will pair it with either jeans, leggings, or tights.


Another fun hunt prize can be found at Twistys Twistalicious Creations, their Baby Its Cold Outside Dress with bonuses. The dress itself is provided in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizes, and the matching hat and mittens (on a string, not worn on hands) are also included in the prize. 


While you are at Twistys, be sure to make your way to the lucky chair room so you can check for your initial on those chairs. If it shows up, have a seat and claim one of several different prizes, such as this Luxor Green Striped dress. It actually includes the flirty dress and white lace panties, each in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique. Good luck!


Over to :.C!L.: where you can find a Long Winter's Nap hunt prize too, this one containing a precious set called Pyjama's and Sleep Mask Yawn Set. The sweatshirt comes in sizes for eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and a classic version, while the pants are in fitmesh standard sizes plus eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine. Also included are those adorable sleep masks, which are adjustable so you can scooch them up/down if you wish. 


For my final look of the evening, I am wearing the current group gifts from :.C!L.: which you can find in their recent group notices. The group is $50L to join, which is quite reasonable for group fees these days, and there are frequent group gifts for you to enjoy. The most recent is the Rainbow Thanksgiving Turtleneck w/HUD, which comes in standard mesh sizes plus eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Ocacin, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine. The matching Rainbow Thanksgiving Legwarmers w/HUD include Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizing. As you can tell from the naming, they each contain a HUD to choose a color combination from the 8 options. The range of colors is quite versatile, so these aren't just for the Thanksgiving time of year but for any occasion you want something knit with comfy long sleeves.

It was another typical day at home here, but I'll be busy the next several days so resting ahead of time was a good idea. I hope you're all having a nice day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Time After Time

Hiya everyone! Tonight I have more treats from the Womenstuff Hunt to show you, because even though the month/hunt period will be wrapping up soon, there are over 130 stores who took part so that adds up to a bounty of gifts. All are either $0L or $1L, and hiding inside white t-shirts with a red high heels pattern. Their website will guide you with locations and hints, plus information on which stores have moved or need to be skipped. Let's see what tonight's shirts have to offer...


First we have the $1L prize from Aurora's Closet called AC ~ Mae Knit Dress Chocolate, which looks to me like a milky chocolate with flecks of rich dark chocolate :) It comes in sizes for standard, eBody Classic, eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine.


Next we have a lovely $1L prize from Trashed called Camille Dress, in sizes for eBody, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique. The black top is a perfect match for the black lace layered over the peachy pink skirt. 


Glitterati has this exclusive dress waiting for you in their free t-shirt, in a flirty style with a mixture of patterns in the zigzag texture. The prize includes a bevy of mesh sizes: 5 classic, 5 fitmesh, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique. There is another part of this gift hiding beneath it, a black lace thong which comes in system layers as well as an Omega applier.


Our prize from Sin Original is a terrific outfit for just a single linden. It is composed of the Bethany Jeans and Bianca Corset each in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique, with the Arya Sneakers in tiptoe style for Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink high. Any of these pieces can be worn individually with items already in your wardrobe, but I must admit they add up to a fine look.


To claim this final look of the evening, be sure to find the t-shirt at Mishmash Fusion which holds their Dream On Mini - Japanese Gothic for free. Just look at those details, like the laced sleeves and gorgeous floral pattern! It is included in standard mesh sizes along with eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine versions.

I hope you're all having a wonderful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Beautifully Casual

Hiya everyone! Tonight's post holds more Womenstuff Hunt prizes, either $0L or $1L each, which you can find inside red and white t-shirts hidden in participating stores. We have a few days left before the hunt ends, so time is of the essence. I also have a free group gift to show you, so there are plenty of things to look forward to from this post.


My first look this evening is a cute casual outfit from Artic Storm called *AS* Rhianon Set Blue Series WS 18. It is a mixture of mesh and applier clothing, thanks to the top in sizes for eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique, with the pants as an Omega applier. There is a handy HUD for the shirt that lets you choose from 4 patterns all in shades of blue, which makes this the perfect choice to wear while gridwide hunting.


I left the Artic Storm outfit's pants on to show you some tops from the hunt, like this comfy Sweet E's Blue Floral Loose Neck Sweater. It comes in standard mesh sizes plus versions for eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Ocacin, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine. 


With this shorter top, the prize from TinRoof called "Leafy", you can see the folded down waistband of the jeans from Artic Storm. The Leafy sweater from TinRoof is a $1L gift, with mock turtleneck and beautiful seasonal pattern and colors. It includes sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and even a classic fitted version. 


This top with the fascinating wrap style is the free prize from AMBIENT FASHION called WS Nivellia Shirt. It comes in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizes, with flattering lacing on the right side at the ribs. I can see this being a good match for skirts as well as your favorite pants or leggings.


For my final look of the evening, we visit Gimme Gacha in its final days of the November round, where Entice is offering a gift for all Gimme Gacha group members. It's called Sweet Dixie Dress - Lime, and is an original mesh by Entice in sizes for Freya, Hourglass, and Maitreya. The style is quite feminine with its lace, dots, and belt, and the color is especially flattering to redheads :) I'm sure it will be just as lovely no matter what your preferred hair color or skin tone is, and what a treat to be able to claim it for free with a free group tag.

The most noteworthy thing about my day was finally getting to try my new pillow, which had to be aired out (why do things almost always smell funny when new?) and then filled with water, yes it is one of those fancy ones from the chiropractor that has a water chamber inside. It's great for side sleepers like me, and this is the first time in months I didn't wake up with a sore neck. Two thumbs up for chiro-flow! I hope you're all having a fantastic day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Womenstuff Prizes

Hiya everyone! Tonight I have some prizes to share from the Womenstuff Hunt 2018, either $0L or $1L each and found inside red and white t-shirts. The website will guide you with hints and landmarks, plus information on any stores that need to be skipped or have new locations. You have until the end of the month to claim these prizes, so don't delay :)


First up this evening, the $1L prize from ~EccentriciXi~ called Hope Gown that is especially for the Womenstuff hunt. The chic gown comes in standard mesh sizes plus Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine versions, with a HUD that provides 8 color choices. All of the different hues have a sprinkling of glitter, and the open back is irresistible.


As I was trying on various prizes, I realized that two of them make a perfect pair so I eagerly snapped photos of them together. My outfit is the !!smesh Knitted Dress & LegWarmers, each of which come in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP. The shoes are another free prize, this time from Heels and named Special Abbot Tiffany Blue. They include Maitreya and Slink high sizes, and are just a shade or two darker than the clothing in the same lovely color family. 


This delicate beauty is our prize from Moonstar, their Jennifer Dress and Underwear. It starts with the mini dress in standard mesh sizes plus Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP, then continues with panties in system layers as well as appliers for Omega, Maitreya, and Slink. I think wearing this makes one look like a fancy present, with the golden design on white background with matching ribbon and bow for a belt.


The prize from FurtaCor is just one linden, their playful Esdra Dress which includes a HUD that offers 10 different textures in various colors. It was hard to choose just two to show you, but these certainly spoke to me. The long t-shirt dress with interesting holes is provided in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine.


My final look of the night is a cozy set from LUXE Paris called Co-Ed Skirt & Top. Each piece comes in fitmesh standard sizes as well as Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Ocacin, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine fits. I was drawn to the knit pattern of the sweater, and that crimson leather skirt is a dreamy match for it.

I hope you're all having a terrific day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Still Celebrating

Hiya everyone! Tonight we make another visit to the Black Friday Bazaar, so we can see some more group gifts found at all of the designers' displays. The Evil Bunny group is free to join, and in addition to all the terrific bargains you will notice small black gift bags that you can click to claim these goodies. Most have a framed image of the treat inside, so you know what you'll be receiving. This event is open until the 27th, so don't delay if you are interested in these generous gifts!


First this evening, we have the gift from zOOm called Galaxy MiniDress. It comes in standard mesh sizes along with Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP versions, with a HUD that lets you pick from 6 different colors. The textures are gorgeous, and the style has such a fun short skirt and side slit.


If you enjoy your plaids in seasonal hues, be sure to claim the gift from Applique` Chic called AC: Fall Picnic Dress FatPack. There are sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Ocacin, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, Tonic Fine, Voluptuous, and classic S, M, and L. We also receive a HUD with 10 colors to pick from, which makes it the full fatpack mentioned in its name.


Changed Seasons is offering their Holiday Fringe Dress to all Evil Bunny group members who visit the bazaar. It is a playful design with plenty of shades of blue, in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP. This is certainly a pretty way to heat up a chilly evening.


When you mix edgy with feminine touches, one result is this gift from TRS Designs called Lara Dress Bound Black. This multifaceted mini has leather, metal, straps, and corset style lacing, but is softened with satiny bows. It comes in standard sizes as well as Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP versions.


My final look of the evening is our gift from Indigenous, called Snowy Shirt & Thong Gift. The shirt and thong are separate pieces, each in fitmesh standard sizes along with Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine versions. I love the frosty look of the snowflakes, and they are so detailed.

This time of year can be especially difficult for some of us who suffer from depression, whether we are surrounded by family and friends or not. Please be sure to take care of yourselves, and it might be a nice idea to reach out to someone you know if they seem quiet or you know they deal with mental health issues. Sometimes a smile is just a mask for pain or sadness, but a kind word at the right time can help so much. Enjoy your day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Black Friday Bazaar

Hiya everyone! Tonight I am back from a quick holiday break to share some group gifts found at the Black Friday Bazaar. You will need the group tag for the Evil Bunny group to claim them (free to join) by clicking the gift bags at every display. There are dozens of treats waiting for you, and the event is open until the 27th so you have a few days left to do some bargain shopping and reward yourself with gifts while you're at it.


First we have a sexy dress from .:cheeky:. called Celebration Dress, in pretty pastel pink to brighten any event. It comes in sizes for Freya, Hourglass, Physique, and Maitreya mesh bodies. To claim this free gift, just click the bag at their display at the event.


Next we have a delightful skirt set in white with a pattern of yellow roses, a gift from anny's Fashion for visiting the Black Friday Bazaar. It's called [AF] Ayla Top and Skirt White Pattern, and is provided in sizes for eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine.


While you explore the bazaar, be sure to grab this generous gift from [Ahroun Designs] called Gina Outfit Set 02. It includes the top and capris, each in sizes for standard, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine. There is also a HUD for each with 6 color choices and 4 button colors for the top, 4 metals for the capris. You can mix and match to your heart's content with this set!


Do you need a little more animal print in your wardrobe? I sure did, so I was excited to see this gift from BLONDEQUEEN called Moonchild Dress :: Jungle. It has quite an intricate support structure for our girls, including leather and studs, which look terrific with the fabric's pattern. The gift includes Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique versions.


My final look of the evening combines a glittery top with an ombre skirt from daring red down to dramatic black, tied up with a crimson belt and bow. It is the gift from JLZ Fashion, their Holiday 2017 [Red] dress. In addition to standard mesh sizes, it comes in versions for eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine. You could tuck it away to wear on Christmas, but why wait even that long?

I truly enjoyed my Thanksgiving, and am hoping all of you who celebrated did too :) We had a delicious meal with several family members, some of whom I really only see on the holidays, so any time with them is a blessing. One happy memory I made (among plenty) was my first real conversation with my cousin's new wife, who is a nurse so usually works on the holidays we would see her. They had eloped last year so there wasn't even a wedding celebration to get to know her and celebrate her joining our family, so this meant a lot to me. I tried to stick to the fine line between indulging and overindulging, and didn't even touch any of the desserts until tonight after enjoying some leftovers. Tomorrow I have my usual Saturday plans, then probably trying to catch up on some solid rest :) I hope you all have a wonderful weekend, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Thanksgiving Wishes

Hiya everyone! Tonight I am back to the Womenstuff Hunt 2018, from which I still have plenty of treats to show all of you. They are either $0L or $1L (designers' discretion) and hiding in white t-shirts with a pattern of red heels, a redesign from their previous solid red shirts with a logo on the front. The hunt runs until the end of the month, so you will want to hurry if you haven't started this hunt path yet. The website offers hints, prices, and even the landmarks in case you get lost, so I recommend having it open and handy. Then I have an extra reason for you to be thankful, from Entice for the Saturday Sale.


Lola's Secret has two separate gifts waiting for you, for just $1L each, and they each hold very sexy dresses exclusively for this hunt. On the left you can see the ~LS~ Bailee, included in sizes for eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine. The slender tube top, suspenders, and mini skirt are all worn as one piece. The look on the right is ~LS~ Tie Me Pull Me, with a name as seductive as the style. This comes in Altamura, eBody Curvy, eBody Classic, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine sizes, and has a secret of its own...that opening in the front above the lacing is matched by an even larger one in the back, but lower, so you have a serious case of peek-a-booty when wearing it!


Speaking of playing peekaboo, this outfit shows off quite a bit too. It is our free prize from NoNuts called Icy Dream, and consists of the top, skirt with panties, and skirt without panties, each in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique. The top is lifted on one side, so I used a modesty flower in Photoshop (that black flower covering the nipple is NOT inworld or part of the outfit in any way) and would have needed even more of those if I went with the skirt that doesn't have built in panties. I really like the frosty blue stripes and the fishnet waistband.


Be sure to visit Changed Seasons to claim their free gift called Kenley 2 Pack. It contains the hearts and polka dots versions, each in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizing. They appear to have a separate blouse layer beneath, but they are worn as a unit. The colors of the blouses were so well chosen to complement the patterns just right.


Much has been said about the need for a "little black dress" or LBD as a wardrobe staple, but I actually prefer to have several unique styles of LBD in SL. This free prize from BlackRose called Lina Dress Black throws the idea of basic out the window with that off-shoulder ruffle and sleek sheath style. It comes in classic S, M, & L sizes plus Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Ocacin, Hourglass, and Physique versions.


For my final look of the evening, we have this week's Saturday Sale selection from Entice called Flowers in the Rain Lingerie - Purple. It is just $75L for the set if you visit before Friday the 23rd, so don't delay. If purple isn't your first choice of colors, don't worry...they are also offering 8 other hues for $150L each or the full fatpack with 2 bonus colors for a total of 10 via HUD for $450L. This bra and panty set is an Entice original mesh, so you won't find it anywhere else, and includes sizes for Freya, Hourglass, and Maitreya.

If I may get sentimental for a moment, I just really want to take the time to thank each of you for reading my blog and supporting me. It means so much to me, and any kind word keeps me motivated and striving to do my best. I will be spending Thanksgiving with family and friends, from noon until late evening, so there will be no Thursday blog post and I am not sure yet about Friday. Please check my facebook page for an update on that when the time comes, and I'd be grateful if you gave it a like while you were there. It has been a tough year for me in RL in many ways, my own health issues being dwarfed by those of close family members, but we are all somehow still celebrating this holiday together so I am very grateful. I am thankful for anything that makes me smile, which is a very broad statement but includes SL, kind people, cute animals, really a wide range of things. This is what Thanksgiving means to me, and I hope all of you have plenty to be thankful for as well. Many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
