More Swank Treats

 Hiya everyone! Tonight's post comes from the bounty of group gifts at the Swank Event, for their 10th anniversary round. The group is free to join and there are gifts for men and women here, so everyone can enjoy exploring both stories of this huge event and claiming gifts from golden orbs with a number 10 decorating them :) I've still got dozens more of these gifts I'd love to share throughout the month, as this round is open until the end of the month.

My first look of the evening is our !OA-MEO! =Beth= gift. This sporty top and shorts combo includes sizes for Freya, Isis, Hourglass, Legacy, and Maitreya sizes for each piece, plus a HUD with 14 options each for the top, band, ribbons, shorts, and shorts band. The solid colors for the shirt say "Queen" with a crown on the Q as seen on the left above, and there are several fun patterns to choose from as well.

I also picked up this gorgeous gift from ::Sweet Intoxication:: called Maisie Dress - Cranberry. The straps are the star of the show here, or at least are crafted to make you the star of the show ;) Our gift includes sizes for Erika, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Khara, Kupra, Legacy, Lara X, Maitreya, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. I love the vivid color, and the way we get to show off plenty of skin but cover all the essentials.

I was blown away by this next gift, [C.YFashion] *FANNY* Dress Grey. It starts with a fishnet dress that has a peekaboo opening over the breasts, then we can layer a bra top and panties beneath if we wish. All pieces will fit Freya, Kupra Bimbo, Low, Original, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite mesh bodies. The dusky color is perfect if you want something neutral but not basic black, as it is still quite moody and dramatic of a hue.

Our [COSMOS] Brenda Lingerie / 10 Colors Fatpack gift is just right for an intimate evening at home :) The lacy bodysuit is provided in sizing for eBody Curvy, Hourglass, Legacy, Maitreya, Signature Alice, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine, with a 10 color HUD just as you can guess from the name. I am one of those people in RL who is very sensitive to textures (thanks, neuropathy) so this is one of those looks I especially treasure in SL because it would be very impractical in RL. It's also just a gorgeous style, don't you think?

My final look of the night is the playful Melody Yassira // FATPACK gift. This dazzling dress made me think of a ballerina thanks to the extra full skirt, and the deep plunging neckline is a wonderful detail. There are sizes for Legacy, Maitreya, Reborn, Classic, and Curvy mesh bodies, and a HUD that lets us choose from 20 solid colors and 20 patterns each for the dress and the button on the front of the waistband. I would definitely add some panties to wear in public, as you can tell that rear view is a cheeky one ;)

It was quite a day, with an outing to the park with my mom which was nice :) She brought a box of old photos that she wants to organize to bring to a cousins' gathering (her generation, not mine) soon and so we were sorting through them in the parking lot, and I even helped her figure out how to solve a mystery of an undated photo. I spotted a calendar hanging on the wall, too small to see but I told her to take a picture with her phone and pinch-zoom, hehe, and we looked up what years had Tuesday as the first of October as shown. She is still amazed that I came up with all of that, LOL, but I was just grasping at any straws that might be helpful. We are getting together for dinner tomorrow as usual for a Friday, and I'm guessing I will be helping her with the rest of the pile :) I hope you're all having a lovely day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Another Serving of Swank

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we are returning to the Swank Event for their annual pumpkin hunt for free group gifts. There are so many here just waiting to be claimed by finding the carved orange pumpkins each adorned with a golden Swank logo, and honestly they are not generally hard to see so it's less of a hunt and more of a gift bonanza :) I've shared some already this month and there were still dozens waiting in the folder, but I randomly picked out a handful of fashions to share so in case you haven't stopped by yet, be tempted! There is something for nearly everyone and not just fashions but other wearable (makeup, companions, jewelry, etc.) and home decor to freshen up your home as well as your wardrobe.

My first look of the evening is our Skindustrial Bodyworks gift called SKBW Spookt Dress. It really is a lovely choice for Halloween when you want something seasonal but not overly scary, as it is adorned with kitties in zombie costumes, pumpkins, and witch hats :) There are sizes for eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique bodies of this tulip hemmed mini dress that is sure to flatter many shapes and figures.

Next we go from cute to sexy, thanks to *OA-MEO* and their =Moira= dress gift. The dress and panty are both provided in Freya, Isis, Hourglass, and Maitreya sizing, with a texture HUD of 20 choices that breaks down to 4 colors of 5 different textures including solid. The non-solid ones are seasonal, but that shouldn't stop us from enjoying this any time of year with the solid colored texture selected :) The rear view is the real showstopper here, with delicate ties up top and a plunging opening that reveals the thong of the black panties before being loosely knotted with the tails hanging down. If modesty is a concern, you could always wear a BOM layer pair of panties that cover more than the thong here does.

I sure had fun imagining all the places we could wear the [GIULIADESIGN] -DONNA- BLACK gift! It includes the dress and choker each in Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizes, with BOM black fishnet stockings that end at the ankle. The strapless dress is trimmed in lace and has a sheer corset style midriff, while the choker has a beautiful teardrop charm with red flowers upon it. This is one of those looks that straddles a line between Halloween and Goth in my mind, leaving endless possibilities of when and where to wear it. 

I went for more vibrant colors here with the ANNA 'Stella Night Dress sparkle gift, which is not the only one by this generous designer :) There are Legacy and Maitreya sizes provided, along with a HUD that offers 8 colors for us to choose from. The dress does indeed sparkle, subtly enough that I would not be able to capture it in a still image so you will simply have to find it and wear it for yourself to see. I was truly enchanted by it, and hope you will be too.

My final look tonight brings sex appeal in seasonal flavor. It is our Next Door Designs Zara Halloween Dress gift, and it fits eBody Reborn, Juicy, Freya, Isis, Erika, Kupra, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh bodies. The halter top is tied from a gathered bust, with two more gathered areas in the front to show off more flashes of skin and make that special someone smile. Just think, their smile will be even more appealing than the many grins of the jack o'lantern faces appearing on our fabric, since many of those look fairly sinister rather than flirty. 

It felt like a long day since I didn't get as much sleep as I'd have liked, and my therapy session dug into my thoughts on probably missing out on Thanksgiving in a few weeks so that was fairly intense. I'm doing fairly okay now, just occasionally having moments of overthinking things. Tomorrow at dinner with my parents I can discuss things with them, as they haven't mentioned any plans yet which seems a bit unusual. I hope you're all having a peaceful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Happy Anniversary Swank

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we are visiting the SWANK Event for their 8th anniversary round, and you know what that means - lots of gifts for us! :) I explored both floors of the event and with their free group's tag active I was able to claim dozens and dozens of treats from the fancy glass globes with golden logo and the word GIFT above in gilded script. A few are still set to the wrong group but the vast majority are ready to go, generously offering gifts that include male and female fashions, accessories, cosmetics, and home decor just to name a few categories. The booths are modestly sized so many of the designers have multiple booths here, sometimes together and sometimes not, so you might find gifts at all of them or just one by any particular designer. I always enjoy visiting here, and sure hope you do too.

First up, we see the beautiful [AF] Mystery Skirt and Top Soft gift from anny's Fashion. It has the appearance of two pieces but actually wears as one, in sizes for Altamura, eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies. There's also a HUD, with 8 colors each for the top, skirt, and string which refers to the built in panties that can also be turned on/off. The floral cutouts on the top are very pretty and a touch revealing, so consider yourself warned ;) 

Still enjoying some warm weather days? Then you need the !OA-MEO! =Beth= shorts set for a sexy casual outfit. The tank top and fluttery shorts each come in Freya, Isis, Hourglass, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh body sizes. The handy HUD has 14 textures each for the top, band, ribbon, shorts, and shorts band, so we get to mix and match as I've done or go all one color/texture. The solid colors for the top have that great Queen image on them, and I don't usually mix different types of prints but I thought the two on the right looked nice together because of the similar deep blue hues.

Next I changed into the [C.Y Fashion]*SELENE*Bodysuit gift to add yet another splash of sex appeal to this post :) There are Freya, Hourglass, and Maitreya sizes included, with an 8 texture HUD that has various combos (preselected) for the ruffles and the main bodysuit. Mostly solid but there are a couple of lovely floral patterns like I chose on the left above. I'm sure I have blogged this once before, so it might have been a gift from a prior event or hunt of some sort. 

I also claimed a terrific gift from [COSMOS] which is their Andrea Dress / 10 Colors Fatpack. It has a short flared skirt beneath the open midriff and halter neckline, very breezy and pretty :) The gift consists of sizing for eBody Classic, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies, along with (as the name indicates) a HUD with 10 great colors to select from. All you need to add are some panties, your favorite jewelry, and a pair of shoes which can all be found right here at Swank.

My final look this evening is one of 4 gifts from V8 Underground, as they are traditionally very generous :) This is their **BARBIE KILLS ORANGE COMPLET OUTFIT**, and it holds the dress, panties, and boots each in Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn mesh body sizing. The shiny latex texture on all of the pieces is fantastic, isn't it? There is also just something so appealing about a short skirt with boots, and the neckline plunges so low it almost splits the dress in half. Yes I will share more of their gifts, just not tonight...soon :)

It's a stormy evening here, with more distractions but at least my phone is fully charged in case of an emergency. I never use it so it was dead when I plugged it in, oopsie. I hope you're all having a nice day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
