More Treats from Off-Line

 Hiya everyone! Tonight is a part two so I can show you more of the bounty of group gifts from "Off-Line" and their currently free group. There are treats for men as well as these ladies' gifts I've been displaying, so be sure to spread the word among friends with both types of avatars :) The female gifts seem to be mostly sized for Belleza Freya, Slink Hourglass, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh bodies, so if you wear one of those regularly you can add some lovely and versatile wardrobe pieces to your inventory without damaging your budget.


My first look tonight is the "Off-Line" x "Baddie" Bedtime Set / FATPACK, a group gift that includes the shirt and panties in two versions, original and sheer. All of these come in Freya, Hourglass, Legacy, and Maitreya sizing, with a HUD to choose from 8 colors for each. The tops have a different saying or image per color, like the green that says Beautiful Disaster or the lavender with a bowl of noodles that has Send Noods written on it :) I am wearing that on the sheer shirt above, and I feel like it shows the cleavage but is not drastically transparent.


Next we have the intricately styled "Off-Line" x Venus / Temptation Bikini / FATPACK group gift. This collab with Venus is just one piece with a layered look, with each size (Freya, Hourglass, Legacy, Maitreya) packed separately with 15 individual colors in each pack. I am wearing Moo on the left and Hot on the right, a deep solid red that I find very sexy. The other colors are baby blue, black, clay, lilac, lime, nude, orange, pink, pink nude, silver, snake, white, and yellow. 


This flattering bodysuit is another generous group gift called "Off-Line" x Fake Society - Sweet Nothings Bodysuit (FATPACK) and is a collaboration with Fake Society. There are solid and sheer versions included in sizes for Freya, Hourglass, Legacy, and Maitreya, along with a handy HUD that offers 8 colors with text, 8 without text, and 8 with flames. I went with a text on the left that says "Pleasures" but each is different, and the sheer on the right looks great in black with flames. I found it intriguing that the way the sheer fits close to the body but leaves just a hint of space created a darker line that looks like sketched artwork :) Such variety and fun options to wear this one!


I seem to have been in a lingerie/loungewear type of mood today, as I then changed into the "Off-Line" x "Halle" Set / FATPACK gift. This crop top and panties are each provided in Freya, Hourglass, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh body sizes, with an 8 color HUD that tints the pieces individually so we can mix and match. The left combo is certainly a spring mood with those soft pastels, while the yellow is vibrant and sunny.


My final look of the evening is the "Off-Line" x Havoc "Racer" Bodysuit / FATPACK group gift. It is a skintight, partially unzipped one piece outfit with white stripes on whichever of the 12 colors you select from the HUD, and fits Freya, Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh bodies. There is something so playful about this style, which was created as a collaboration with Havoc. 

It was a busy day with a very nice dinner at my parents', celebrating a family member's birthday a bit early. We had takeout from a local place that we all enjoy, and I wound up with a chicken cutlet BLT (so chicken, bacon, lettuce, tomato, mayo) on a kaiser roll that was way bigger than I expected. I have leftovers for tomorrow, which I'm looking forward to :) The weather was decent and should be in the morning for the farmers market as well, sunny enough that I will be using extra sunscreen I think. It was a tiring week so I am glad to have the weekend to relax. I hope you all have a beautiful weekend ahead, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Off-Line Group Gifts

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we are helping "Off-Line" celebrate their grand opening by joining their group which is currently free, and enjoying dozens of generous gifts for said group. There are fashions for guys and gals, with accessories to enhance any outfit. The initial sale was the first half of the month (apologies that I just now found out about this) but the group was still free as of this morning so fingers crossed that it stays that way long enough for all of you to visit and claim some treats!


For my first look of the evening, we see the "Off-Line" x "That" Friend Set / FATPACK group gift. There are Freya, Hourglass, Legacy, and Maitreya sizes packed individually with 12 colors for each. I am wearing Mango on the left and Olive on the right, with the others being black, blue, forest, heather, lime, pink, purple, red, white, and yellow. I really like the styling of the midriff, particularly against the simple long sleeves and sleek skirt. 


This fantastic group gift is this "Off-Line" x Havoc - "Miami" Set / FATPACK which is a collaboration with the brand Havoc. The top, shorts, and belt each come in sizes for Freya, Hourglass, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh bodies. There is also a HUD with 8 colors for each, so we can mix and match if we wish. We can wear it without the belt too if preferred. Those pockets on the chest and hips are certainly fun details to liven up a simple casual look.


Another easygoing outfit with a twist is found in the "Off-Line" x "It" Girl Set / FATPACK group gift. The cropped top has a high neckline and is tied in the front, with formfitting shorts to complete the look. Each are provided in Freya, Hourglass, Legacy, and Maitreya sizing, with a HUD to select from 16 textures for each piece. As you can see, there are solids and prints so you can show off your personal tastes or pick something for any mood.


"Off-Line" x Venus / "Zara" Bodysuit / FATPACK is another generous gift with added sex appeal. There are two versions in each size - Freya, Hourglass, Legacy, and Maitreya - with one being sheer (as on the right above) and a texture HUD with 23 selections each. The bodysuits are high cut on the hip to form a thong in the rear, and have an open zipper in the front. If you look closely, you will notice that I chose a snakeskin pattern for the sheer, and it is not the only version that will appeal to your inner Slytherin ;) This particular gift is a collaboration with Venus, one of several talented designers that Off-Line frequently works with.


My final look this evening is the flirty "Off-Line" x "Haute" Mess Set / FATPACK. It has several colors packaged by size, which include Freya, Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, and Maitreya bodies. I am wearing grey on the left and blue to the right, both of which have a terrific sheen just like the other 7 shades: black, green, orange, pink, purple, white, and yellow. The dress has the appearance of two pieces but is worn as one, showing off the midriff and an extra flash of thigh because of the skirt slit. I think this gift is just right for the warmer weather that should be on its way :)

I am slow tonight because of tons of random distractions, but I have my dinner choice for tomorrow ready and am actually looking forward to the impromptu poorly planned birthday celebration ;) I'm trying to be calmer about the family member who made plans without informing the 3 people it would most affect, but I admit to some resentment still creeping in. I just checked my local weather, and the region has a freeze warning and a fire weather watch, which feels like a really bizarre combination. Oh well, I do hope you're all having a lovely day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Beautiful Dirty Rich

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I have some group gifts to share from Beautiful Dirty Rich, a store I have been a fan of for quite some time as their style seems to match my usual leanings (casual, boho, colorful) very well. Their group is free to join, and there are a few years' worth of regularly offered goodies still available. So if you haven't had the pleasure of visiting them yet, expect to leave with practically a whole new wardrobe :) It had been a while since I showed off their gifts here on the blog, so there were a few new ones along with the older ones that still deserve your consideration as they are terrific too.


My first look this evening is the ...:::Beautiful Dirty Rich:::... Abby -Dress-, and would you believe this was a Christmas present? The texture HUD has a few seasonal prints among its 33 choices, 10 of which are various patterns like the argyle on the left above. Our sleeveless dress is tied at each hip, and is provided in Freya, Isis, Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite mesh body sizes. There are panties built in, which can be turned off or on via the HUD as well. 


Next I changed into the lovely ...:::Beautiful Dirty Rich:::... Bianca-Tank Top & Shorts- group gift. Both pieces fit Freya, Isis, Hourglass, Hourglass Petite, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite bodies. Our gift also includes a HUD with 21 colors for the top, 11 for the shorts, 10 for the belt, and 10 for the buckle with a show/hide option for the belt. There is something so classic about the high waisted, cuffed shorts with front and back pockets, like they simply will never go out of style :)


I kept those cute Bianca Shorts on here to show you another group gift called Chloe -Top- . This is a tiny halter top with delicate lace texturing, in sizes for eBody Reborn, Freya, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite mesh bodies. There is a HUD too of course, with 20 transparent textures and the ability to turn on/off the transparency alpha which would actually make them less see-through. I am wearing two textures above that are both untouched so the full translucency, and they don't seem inappropriate to me whereas if the nips were much more visible I would be using photoshop to cover things. I believe this top is their most recent gift, with another sign beneath it saying "coming soon" so be sure to visit again in the future!


I also happily tried on the ...:::Beautiful Dirty Rich:::... Sandara -Dress- group gift, a fluttery slip dress with straps that cross in the back. It includes Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizing, with a HUD to choose from 10 prints as well as tinting and adjusting the gloss. We can even hide the built in panties with the HUD if we wish. I like that all the textures have a solid band of lace beneath the bust, and solid trim to match the straps in a color that works nicely with the print. 


My final look this evening is a charming combo named Kiara -Outfit-, consisting of a thong bodysuit and a denim miniskirt that layers over it perfectly. The bodysuit is provided in sizes for Freya, Isis, Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite bodies, while the skirt fits Freya, Isis, Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, and Maitreya bodies. Did you guess that there must be a HUD in there too? :) You would be correct of course, and that has 21 choices for the bodysuit including 10 prints, as well as 11 colors for the skirt with or without buttons, 11 belt colors, and 11 metals for the buckle. I would 100% encourage you to mix and match these pieces if you wish, like wearing the skirt with a different top (maybe Chloe above?) or just have fun with the bodysuit at a mature setting as a swimsuit. Our imaginations are the limit!

I am a tired little magpie tonight, but I am feeling decent otherwise and am trying to make plans for a last minute family birthday celebration this Friday. The family member in question decided to go away on their birthday and not mention this plan until today, so *shrug* no time to order a gluten free cake or anything we'd normally do. We usually get take out from a local restaurant of the birthday person's choice, so I was peeking at a few menus online just now :) Otherwise I am also checking out some ideas for my next couple of blog posts, so I am also a multitasking magpie. I hope you're all having a nice day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Gifts from Abstrakt Event

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we are visiting the ABSTRAKT Event, where the theme is futuristic and the group is free to join. Many of the designers are offering gifts this round for the event's group members, so get ready to click lots of gift boxes as you explore this creatively decorated shopping area. This round is open until the 5th of May, so we have well over a week left to visit and enjoy.


My first look tonight is the ~UKYAH~ Erica Dress, a beautiful halter style with crossed straps and a flared skirt. It includes sizes for Belleza Jake, Kupra, Legacy Female, Legacy Male, Legacy Perky, Maitreya, Petite, and Maitreya Flat Chest bodies. There is also a HUD with 4 colors to choose from, and the dress was designed with materials enabled so if your viewer settings are compatible, you will see reflectivity when near any light sources. 


My next outfit is the zOOm - Janette Top & Thong gift, with each piece provided in Freya, Hourglass, Legacy, and Maitreya sizing. We also receive a HUD with 4 colors for each, so we can mix and match for just the right look. The red top choice seems to be the only one with hearts on it, but they are all great options that are slightly sheer from the fishnet texture.


Our gift from moxxi is their Piercing Corsett - Bordeaux, a sexy strapless bodysuit that laces in the center of the bodice and is adorned with piercings. Sizes for eBody Reborn, Kupra, Kups, Legacy, Perky, and Maitreya mesh bodies are included, plus a HUD with 24 colors for the laces and 7 metals as well as 3 glossiness settings (low, medium, high). I decided it was the right outfit to show off another group gift, the Memories Tattoo from Studio 1988. It has full sleeves and "only memories" across the upper chest, and comes in faded and fresh versions as system/BOM layers. 


I enjoyed sharing two more gifts here, both very appealing tops. On the left is the Witch In A Box // Tshirt GIFT, a short sleeved tee with purple imprint that reveals a crescent moon and star. It comes in Freya, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Petite mesh body sizing. Then on the right we have the ANGEL 'n' DEVIL TOP GIFT with a heart surrounding the silhouettes of an angel and a devil. This knotted shirt includes sizes for Altamura, eBody Classic, eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Star, Signature Alice, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh bodies. I am wearing the black pair from the Delizio marketplace gift that appears here quite often, a full fatpack of several colors in system/BOM layers as well as Maitreya and Omega appliers.


My final look of the evening is the [C.Y<3Fashion] *AVA* JUMPSUIT GREEN group gift. Its one piece short sleeved bodysuit comes in eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Hourglass, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite sizes, with strappy fingerless gloves to fit Freya, Isis, Hourglass, and Maitreya bodies. There is a HUD provided for the gloves with 5 colors to choose from, so you can change the look if you wish :) I am loving the shine of the fabric!

Quick hair note of the night: I visited The Fifty Event also today, and purchased the new release there from Truth Hair called Cashmere in its Essential pack. Those loose cascading waves just called my name, and the long versatile bangs are always a fun touch. Please try a demo and check out the Stylist tab of any of the color HUDs to see what all it can do, of course we should always be trying out demos before purchasing anything like that :) 

Tomorrow will be a busy day for me since I have an appointment and several errands to run, but it shouldn't hinder my blogging in the evening so my schedule will probably not be interrupted. I hope you're all having a peaceful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Treats from TREND

 Hiya everyone! Tonight's post features several group gifts and lucky board prizes from TREND, whose group is currently free to join until the 29th of April so just a few more days. There is a very generous $750L store credit among the gifts you can receive, and the lucky boards will need the temporarily free group tag to win as well. This is a limited time opportunity that you do not want to miss, so be sure to bring a friend too. 


My first look of the evening is one of the many lucky board prizes we can win, called TREND - Manoli Top & Leggings - 11. The top comes in Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite sizes, with the leggings sized for Legacy and Maitreya bodies since the perky and petite are upper body mods. I really like the vibrant blue shade, and the ruffles on the slender tube top. 


Next I changed into the TREND - Naomi Bodysuit - 9 which is another generous lucky board prize. The color is a dark blue almost indigo since it leans purple, and our suit has crossed studded straps in the front and garters on the front and back of each hip. The cutouts on each side of the waist have sheer material and are edged with studs too just like the straps above. Our prize includes sizes for Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite mesh bodies.


I'm a princess, that's why! Or so says my new TREND - Eliza Dress - Fatpack, which is a terrific group gift. The dress comes in eBody Reborn, Freya, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite mesh body sizes, with a HUD that offers 30 colors for the dress and then the same 30 but with text. This way you can decide if you want to wear this fun strapless style with or without the saying across the front beneath the playful cutout. 


Another fantastic group gift is this TREND - Soraya Top & Skirt - Group Gift November 2020. The top and skirt are actually linked together and worn as one piece, in sizes for Legacy, Maitreya, and Petite bodies. We also receive a 10 color HUD so we can change the look at will, very handy of course :) The top is just a cinched wisp of a tube top, and the low slung skirt has a daringly short hemline.


For my final look this evening, I shimmied into the TREND - Aly Dress - Fatpack group gift. It has rounded openings on each side to go with the cleavage-baring one in the center of the bodice, and a triangular wedge in the front that also shows off our curves nicely. The dress fits Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite mesh bodies, and you can probably guess that there is a HUD provided to make it a fatpack ;) That offers 30 colors each for the dress, trim (top and bottom edges) and triangle. I had so much fun playing with that HUD, lol, to try to decide what color combinations to show off! I also enjoy the kiss of shine from a leathery or latex texture, sometimes it is hard to tell which one exactly it is. 

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

Designer News Group Gifts

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I was inspired by a Designer News group gift I saw to explore some more and share a handful with all of you. The group is free to join, and there are many designers who have gifts for the group in their stores so just have the tag active when you visit them. Lots of the participating designers are part of other multi-store groups too, so I do suggest peeking for other gifts at each stop since you might be able to treat yourself to more than one new look with the various group tags.


My first stop was Taylor Designs, with several gifts behind the counter including the TD - DN Gift for Designer News. This flirty aqua halter dress has plunging neckline that reveals the belly button, and the back is mostly bared too for added sex appeal. It comes in a classic M size as well as Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Ocacin, Hourglass, Physique, and Tonic Fine mesh body sizing. 


I also claimed this beautiful dress from Blackbird Lace called Mesa Dress gift. It has a trio of slender straps on each shoulder that merge into one, and a ruffled skirt of a different material than the formfitting body. The gift consists of Altamura, eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP mesh body sizes. I really like the way the subtle design accentuates our curves! The gifts for various groups are all located upstairs in this store.


If you head out the front door from the last store and go to the left, you will find the Black Angel store which also has several group gifts upstairs including this lovely CIARA JUMPSUIT GIFT. The sequined texture looks great in that bronze color, and the halter top has a flirty rounded opening to show off some cleavage. There are sizes for Freya, Hourglass, Maitreya, and Petite bodies included in this wonderful gift.


Next I found a chic look for your next night out, the FAVOR - IRA DRESS gift for Designer News. The sleek pencil dress is topped with a bold bow to go with the bold black and red color combination. It is provided in standard mesh sizes along with eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Ocacin, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine body sizing. The fabric has some shine to it, very pretty!


For my final look of the evening, I picked up the AMELIA DRESS GIFT from LEXU, one of several generous gifts for a variety of groups. This dress has intricate straps both front and back, holding together a bra top and short skirt in black with tiny red polka dots. The dress seems to have materials enabled, as I noticed the green shimmer and added another subtle ambient light source to bring out even more reflectivity. There are sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh bodies in this lovely gift.

It was a generally peaceful weekend here, especially visiting the farmers market and petting the cute Boston terrier again. I really do believe that interacting with companion animals (and sometimes just watching wildlife) is good for our emotional health, and he is such a playful little guy that just wants to love every human he sees. The only critter in my home this evening is a giant spider, so not quite as cute or cuddly. I hope you all enjoyed your weekend and are having a nice day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

FabFree and Cosmopolitan

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we are visiting several FabFree designers to claim the group gifts they are currently offering for the FabFree in SL group. Since new treats are being added to the list all the time, it seemed like a great choice to share some of the slightly older ones. This way you can pick them up before they get changed out again :) There are so many new ones lately that I will probably be doing this again very soon. We are also taking a trip to the latest round of the Cosmopolitan event, where we can always find exclusive offers from our favorite brands or new potential favorites. This round wraps up on the 30th, so be sure to visit soon.


My first destination was D!vine Style, where I happily claimed their Nieves High waist pants and shirt gift. There are standard mesh sizes for each piece, as well as Freya, Isis, Venus, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies. The sexy top is tied loosely in the front, and has a similar vibrant floral design as the high waisted pants. Aren't they pretty?


Another gift that I find to be ideal for spring is the :::FurtaCor:::Adriana Dress located at the MIIX Weekend headquarters. The sleeveless dress is provided in standard mesh sizes and a fitted version for classic avatars, along with versions for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies. The HUD enables us to tint the entire dress in our choice of 30 colors, then there are two sets of buttons with the same 30 choices (a mix of prints and solid colors) for the neck trim and the belt. On the left I went with a solid pink for the trim and belt to complement the floral pattern, then kept things simple on the right with a single button click in solid blue. 


{Poeme} is offering their Flirtygirl Ruffled Cotton Sweater (Hearts) as their current FabFree gift, and I am a fan! In addition to fitmesh standard sizes, the sweater comes in sizes for eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Ocacin, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine bodies. I paired it with the white pair from the Delizio marketplace freebie fatpack of jeans that appears here fairly often, and consists of several denim hues in system/BOM layers and appliers for Maitreya and Omega.


Next I stopped by De'Fient Unicorn where I picked up their *DU* Kelly's Pride Dress as their FabFree group gift. It is provided in 2 sizes for classic avatars (small and large) along with eBody, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies. If you look closely at the rainbow stripes, you will see that there is a holographic texture in there :) To claim this gift, please right click the package (to the right of the FabFree sign, on the same shelf) and pay $1L which will be automatically refunded while the gift is delivered. 


For my final look of the evening, we visit Cosmopolitan and head to the Entice display. Their exclusive offers this round are the So Good Bodysuit in an impressive array of colors and prints. The individual bodysuits are $199L each, or you can choose a fatpack of 10 Lights, Darks, Animals, or Prints (2 bonus versions in each via HUD) for $499L. If you simply want them all, the mega fatpack is all 4 fatpacks for a total of 40 options, just $1899L. The fatpack HUDs also offer 7 metals for the loops of the straps, for even more customization. This playfully styled bodysuit fits Freya, Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite mesh bodies. On the left above I picked one of the animals, and on the right I am wrapping up this post with some lips from the print fatpack. 

The weekend is finally here, after a week of ups and downs, so I am in a cheerful mood :) The weather should be cloudy but dry for the farmers market tomorrow, and there are a few other random things I'll be doing around the house this weekend. No blog post tomorrow evening as it'll be my usual Saturday off, but I already have a few ideas in mind for the Sunday posting. I hope you all have a terrific weekend ahead, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Hippity Hoppity Hunt

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I'm inviting you to hop over to the Hippity Hoppity Hunt with me. It is a regional hunt exploring the Malus Park zen garden, fishing pier, and Refuge areas to find eggs for $10L or less with terrific prizes inside each one. There are several different designers taking part, and most have several eggs for us to find with the hints on the website. There are hunt keys or images of the various prizes on the site too, so it is handy to look at while you seek these affordable treats. The area is so pretty, and I found it very peaceful to wander and see where the eggs are cleverly hidden :) We have until the 30th to find them all, and don't let the holiday-like name fool you into thinking the prizes will be strictly Easter themed. There are lots of spring pastels, but plenty of goodies for any time of year and many tastes.


My first look this evening is actually two of the four fantastic prizes from [Ari-Pari], and just $5L apiece for these beauties. The dress on the left is their Pink April Mini Dress, with the Yellow variety on the right. Each are provided in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies. The cheerful daisies look lovely on any color backdrop, and for that low price you can easily pick up all of them to wear a different hue each time.


Hopefully you aren't surprised that I wanted to share the other two colors with you :) I love them all, what can I say? The charming Mint is on the left above, and Lavender like on the right will always catch my attention. The sizes are the same as I mentioned above, and I appreciate the details like crossed straps and the way those straps loop through the bodice and hold things together. It is a really playful style for spring especially.


Starlight Apparel has 4 eggs for us also, treats for $10L each in fun styles and colors. The flirty shirt on the left is their .{SA}. Bex Crop Top Pink, with the Nude version on the right. They each include Belleza Freya, eBody Reborn, Erika, Hourglass, Kupra, Kups, Legacy, Perky, Petite, Maitreya, and Petite mesh body sizes to fit a wide range of bodies and mods. The nude variety has butterflies on the left side as well, but I wanted a side/rear view to show you the high cropped back. If you want to show off a mid-back tattoo, these are both excellent choices :) I am wearing my favorite Delizio jeans with them, one of several colors in their free gift on the marketplace. 


Two more Starlight Apparel prizes can be seen here, and I am a huge fan of this style as well :) The outfit on the left is their .{SA}. Kelly Romper Lilac Rose, and the romper on the right is the Pink Swan variety. There are sizes for Freya, Hourglass, Kupra, Kups, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite mesh bodies in each prize. The tied legs are a clever match for the double straps that meet in the back to create two long bows that end in beaded tassels. 


For my final look this evening, I randomly chose one of 4 free prizes from Applique` Chic, called AC: Easter Retro Dress Dots. The other three are different patterns of the same alluring style, which fits Freya, Isis, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique bodies. The prizes also include a 6 color HUD so you can decide what shade you want your background to be, with matching buttons and a white belt to go with the dots (or stripes etc. depending on the prize). I am a big fan of halter styles so that and the full skirt makes this a winner in my book. 

It was a nice day here, with a pleasant surprise in the evening when my hockey team won their first game in ages. At this point they are struggling so much that it makes me think of the expression about even a stopped clock being right twice a day, lol, but some of the younger guys on the team got to show their skills and get some playing time in so that is a bonus too. Tomorrow is my usual Friday dinner with my parents, so I am certainly looking forward to that. I hope you're all having a pleasant day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Spring Into Life with BUNDLES

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we are visiting the wonderful BUNDLES Event, whose current round is called Spring Season - Spring into Life. It is open until the end of the month, and here you will find many talented designers offering exclusive items at affordable prices. The BUNDLES Events are brought to us by the same awesome person behind The Free Dove, so you know they will be well organized and the region is always decorated impeccably to match each theme. I even found a few free gifts there, so there are lots of reasons why this round is a must-visit :)


My first look this evening starts with the charming AvaGirl - Paisley dress, which you can find exclusively at BUNDLES for just $149L. The strapless mini is gently tied in the front with an empire waistline and short hem, in sizes for eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Kupra Bimbo, Low, Original, Kups A, Kups B, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and Reborn. There is also a HUD with 8 gorgeous floral textures, and a pair of panties as a system/BOM layer for modesty. As for my amazing jewelry, that would be part of the Beloved Jewelry Odea Set, a special offer of a fatpack for $299L that includes flower tiara, two versions of earrings (small and large) and two versions of chokers (single strand or double with flower) to wear whatever combination makes you happy. There is a HUD included with 16 metals each for various chain parts, 16 metals and 24 pearl colors for two portions of the flowers, and 24 hues for the pearls. We can also adjust the transparency of the flower blossom and use the HUD to resize the pieces, so they are wonderfully versatile. In this photo I am wearing choker v1 and earrings v1 which are the smaller blooms as well as the striking tiara. 


Next I changed into the v2 earrings with the larger blossoms and the single chain choker v2, and once again had some fun with the colors on the HUD :) It is worth mentioning that the individual pieces (both chokers, both earring sets, tiara) are available for $195L apiece if you only wanted one or two rather than the full set. Then I slipped into another BUNDLES exclusive offer, the Grumble-Bree Dress. This beauty is just $75L and is provided in Freya, Kupra Bimbo, Low, Original, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Reborn, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, Tonic Fine, and Tonic Minim mesh body sizes. The front has daring openings at the midriff and across the skirt, and those black and white stripes are a fun backdrop for roses in many shades of pink. 


Over at the [Vips Creations] display, I was very happy to discover this free gift called Frances black lace. It includes the dress in what I call the lucky 13 of mesh sizes (5 classic, 5 fitmesh, Belleza, Maitreya, Slink) and matching heels to fit Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink feet. The gown has some really sexy details like the deep plunging lace both front and back, and the gradient of transparency on the hem that helps show off the shoes especially well.


I also wanted all of you to get to see the Delicatt Couture gift called Marguerittee Maxi Dress FLOWER, yours for free just for visiting their display. It gives the appearance of two pieces, a floaty pointed top and maxi skirt, but is linked together and worn as one easy breezy dress :) The gift includes fitmesh standard sizes plus versions for Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink mesh bodies. There are so many different types of flowers in bloom on the pattern, very pretty!


One final look this evening, if you visit the Luna Chelsea display you will find their Hope SET as a free gift. The leather pants and fluttery plaid floral blouse each come in sizes for Isis, Venus, Hourglass, Kupra Bimbo, Low, Original, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite mesh bodies, with a HUD offering 10 color options for the top and the belt individually. Please note the side view above and how revealing the ruffles up top really are, as some destinations might not allow visitors wearing nipple-baring clothing. There are always pasties of course ;)

My dentist appointment for the cavity filling went really well, other than the numbness lasting for several hours longer than I expected. I just had to be really careful when I ate dinner, but it was a canine tooth so chewing was safer than biting would have been. I was prepared, all was well :) The assistant thought my gums would be very sore but fortunately they were okay so that's a relief. Otherwise today I just tried to get rest, and have been planning my next few blog posts. I have two KittyCats! pets at my premium house and they have each escaped in the past few days, as in they were outside the house so somehow warped through the walls or front door, a weird mystery that Xan and I are trying to solve and prevent from recurring. If it happens again, one of them is getting renamed Houdini, LOL. I hope you're all having a terrific day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
