SLMB Flash Sale Gifts

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I had found out about the SLMB (^^SL Mesh Body) group having a flash sale, and there are group gifts available :) It had been a while since I'd visited this particular event space, but I knew that the gifts are in the center area (cobblestone ground texture) and all of these are found on this outdoor level. The group is currently $10L to join, a very affordable way for the group to stay protected from scams and spam :) The designers can also offers gifts at their mainstores and I do occasionally share those too. For this post though, we've got one stop shopping and gift grabbing!

My first look is the playful ::LS STORE::BEATRICE SET L&M Store gift. It consists of the top, separate sleeves, and shorts seen here. They all fit Legacy, Pushup, Maitreya, Reborn, and Juicy mesh bodies, and there is a HUD enclosed with 20 colors apiece for top, sleeves, and shorts. I love the ability to mix and match, and this is fun for this time of year when the days are still warm but the evenings can be just chilly enough to make the sleeves a necessity. 

I feel like a flirty ballerina in our ELITE - BELINDA GIFT BLUE <3 group gift :) The skirt has layered ruffles that fluff out to show off a bit of cheek in the rear view, while the bodice has a snug fit and a deep V neckline. The dress and separate sleeves are each provided in sizes for Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. The deep sapphire hue makes me think of the night sky, so I think I'd like to accessorize with silver jewelry that has stars on it to really bring out that idea.

Next I've slipped into the beautiful [satus Inc] Pasha Cutout Side Slit Dress. This gift catches the eye with the intriguing single shoulder strap curving up to a choker style around the throat, and a bold cutout on the right side of the waist. The skirt has an elegant print in gold, and a side opening that gives the slightly asymmetrical hem even more oomph. We receive Erika, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn body sizes in this treat.

 I simply couldn't resist sharing the Graffitiwear 2026 SLMB Group Gift since it is just so alluring :) Our heart-shaped top flutters loosely above a miniskirt gathered on each side, both designed for Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Legacy, Maitreya, Prima Busty, Prima Petite, Reborn, Tonic Curvy, Tonic Fine, and Tonic Minim mesh bodies. The HUD offers 3 choices for each piece, so the top has 3 patterns to match the solid colors of the skirt. This is great for taking advantage of these remaining warm weather days, and it is very easy to wear BOM pasties beneath if you want to protect the nips from making a surprise appearance ;)

My final look of the evening is our gift called ~Sassy!~ Echo vinyl set - violet. It lives up to the brand name and has a terrific sheen to show off the vinyl texture :) I love the crossed straps of the waist too! Our top and skirt are each included in sizing for Lara X, Legacy, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. 

It is so hard for me to explain my outings without sounding like I've lost the last of my marbles, LOL, like well it was great but it was also awful? The car ride itself was very stressful, but being in each store was so lovely and felt really good. Maybe it was partly relief from being out of the car, but I talked to a few kind people (coincidentally including the owners of both little shops) and was truly happy to be there. Just imagine how much easier my life would be if teleportation were possible in RL! :) It was a successful outing, I just wish it were easier to stay calm in the car. I hope you're all having a wonderful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

FabFree Gifties

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I visited several FabFree in SL participating designers, randomly selected from their group gift listing. I'd noticed they had done a lot of updating there lately, and it felt like a sign for me to check out some of the older ones :) The group is free to join, and the blog is a fantastic source of information, so the pairing is just *chef's kiss* perfection! I am such a fangirl when it comes to them, LOL, with no intentions of ever hiding that fact ♥. These are older gifts so I can't guarantee that they won't be swapped out soon for new ones, which simply means hurry and enjoy.

First I visited b[ELLE] to claim their adorable 2509 Glory Halter Romper. As a denim loving girlie, I am so excited to show this fun jumpsuit with its collared halter neck, deep V to show off cleavage, and buttons down the front. There are sizes for Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, and Reborn mesh bodies provided, all with flowers down each slender fitting pant leg. The distressed denim really is a great touch, a little lighter in all the right places.

We can find a really charming treat called Candy at the Nut & Squirrel store (formerly Telsiope's Couture) which you'll find by teleporting to the bargains area and walking up the stairs. Its top and skirt each come in Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Lara X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh body sizes. There is also a HUD for each, with 20 colors for the top or skirt (depending on which HUD of course) and 20 for the attached hearts. Many of the skirt colors have a sheer texture, so I'm going to suggest adding your favorite panties for modesty :) 

Next stop, [satus Inc] to grab their lovely Valeska Sweater & Scallop Mini Skirt Beige gift. Both pieces have a subtle texture that either makes me think leather or suede, flattering on such a soft color. They each fit Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies. It's one of those simply chic outfits that we can accessorize any way we wish, to dress it up or down.

I'm picking up good vibrations 🎵…yes, this outfit earwormed me ;) It is our GoodVibes HER GoodVibes Only Set, and there is a coordinated HIS look available as well. We start with the sparkly tunic top in sizing for Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, Waifu, and Star mesh bodies, then we get to add the BOM leotard upper and lower portions and a BOM pair of panties in river rock color. The "Good Vibes Only" saying on the front is basically my outlook on SL, trying to keep my time inworld positive and cheerful.

My final look of the night is from ART & FASHION on their big wall of various groups' gifts. It is the AMORE OUTFIT, and inside you'll find the long gown and strappy boots each in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh body sizes. The right side of our gown is daringly open, and the front is embellished with a beautiful flower on the skirt beneath the image of two faces about to kiss. There's a hand beneath them, as one gently cups the other's chin, and the grey on black gives a smoky, romantic feeling. Since we can only see part of the faces, they could be literally anyone of any age, ethnicity or gender, so that adds a little mystery as well.

It has been a whirlwind here...yesterday I was out for a good chunk of the day, and it went decently but the way home was entirely spent on the phone with my parents discussing the following day (today). My dad had his cardiac ablation procedure done this morning in hopes of treating the a-fib, and fortunately it went very well. The hospital he went to specializes in cardiology, and the surgeon is highly trained and respected. My dad was feeling fine when we spoke this evening, not even the soreness they said to expect, so that is a huge relief ♥. It probably wouldn't surprise anyone that I was nervous, since being anxious is pretty much my middle name, lol, but I am deeply grateful for the folks who took such good care of my dad and for everyone who offered any of us emotional support or a sympathetic ear. Tomorrow is my usual phone call and gaming night with friends, which I really need :) I hope you're all having a beautiful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Mesh Body Friends Gifts

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I've been exploring some stores who are part of the Mesh Body Friends group, and the designers thoughtfully offer treats for everyone who visits with the MBF group tag active. It's no secret by now that I really do enjoy these multi-designer groups, as we can get info about so many new releases, sales, and fun events all in one place. There are often active group chats inworld too, so we can get a heads-up about things in real time :) The MBF group is currently free to join, so get that group tag on and head on out to these wonderful places!

Our first stop is *Stars*Fashion*, where the Ayane MBF Gift is a fantastic reason to visit here again :) Our top, skirt, and heels are all provided in Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn mesh body sizing, and there's a HUD for each piece. The top's HUD offers 20 textures each for the straps, main top, and bow in the front. Then the HUD for the skirt has 20 options apiece for main skirt, pockets, and borders for even more mixing and matching. You can choose from 10 colors for the heels from its HUD too, so those daringly high laced shoes will easily coordinate with whatever look you choose for the clothing.

I kept on the skirt so I could show off another lovely gift, the Snappy // Tic Tac Toe Ladies Shirt. It reminded me of getting in trouble for playing tic tac toe with the friend seated next to me in a really boring class, lol, so we did the same exact thing in detention that day :) I was mostly well behaved so it was a fun deviation from my normal I guess. This black cropped short sleeved tee comes in sizes for Belleza Classic, Belleza Curvy, Kupra, Kups, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn mesh bodies.

If you are trying to get into the autumn and Halloween spirit, I am pleased to suggest the ART & FASHION - ORANGE WITCH MINI DRESS gift for MBF. The vivid color is just right for fall, and the triple moon symbol on the back is a symbol referenced often in witchcraft or wicca. I know it as maiden - mother - crone standing for phases of femininity. The dress is also dusted with stars for a 'witching hour' flavor :) This flirty mini dress will fit Altamura, eBody Curvy, Gen X Classic, Hourglass, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Reborn, Tonic Curvy, Tonic Fine, and Tonic Minim mesh bodies. 

My next look is the lovely [satus Inc] Elly Draped Mini Dress Blue gift. It has a loose flowing style, cinched by a hip belt that gives us those gentle pleats on the dropped skirt. There are sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP mesh bodies included.

The final look this evening is our Carola*Olaya gift, which might be a fun idea for your weekend plans :) The single shouldered dress is slit on the left side and tied loosely at the waist, in sizing for Erika, Freya, Kupra Bimbo, Low, Original, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh bodies. Then we can add our open toed heels which fit Erika, Freya, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn feet. There are HUDs for each as well, with 10 colors on the dress HUD and a whopping 40 for the shoes. Just think of all the possibilities that creates, and that means the shoes can even be worn with other outfits if we wish.

Whew, my morning was a rough one since a mouse decided to check out the peanut butter inside the humane trap about 2am. That meant waiting over 5 hours for the housemate to wake up, another half hour to shower and get ready, then finally took it far enough away to release it that it wouldn't immediately return. It was going crazy in that trap, like I saw it putting its nose in one air hole, tongue and teeth in another, then flailing all 4 limbs so much it almost flipped over the whole trap! I felt guilty, but I don't drive and can't take it anywhere since it must be released at least a mile away. It's somewhere safe now, but probably has friends or family hiding in here somewhere as I've heard more suspicious noises. Dinner at my parents' was good, and they are hoping to get an appointment next week for a sleep study so my dad can move along the path to recovery from A-fib. I'm going to the farmers market again in the morning (fingers crossed) so I'm nervous but not as bad as last week. I hope you all have a beautiful weekend ahead, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Look Fabulous For Free

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I was in the mood to visit some FabFree designers, so I worked my way through some of their group gift list to grab some older but not 'too old' gifts ;) I like to do that since it lets me share ones that might be changed out sooner than the top of the list (most recently added) but are still fantastic and absolutely worth checking out. The FabFree blog is spectacular, the group is free to join, and all of these gifts and more are yours with that "I am Fabulous!" group tag active.

My first look of the evening comes from ART & FASHION and their generous wall of gifts for various groups. Their MOON WITCH OUTFIT is a barely-there strapless dress with diagonal hem and plunging neckline, paired with daring boots that lace all the way up to the top of the thigh. Each of these come in Freya, Isis, Venus, and Maitreya mesh body sizes. The word "witch" appears twice on the dress, while the front also has an outline of a woman against a full moon. I'm going to suggest that you check your inventory for a C-string (panty liner type undies) to provide some modesty :)

The {Poeme} Pasion Boho Poet Blouse has me feeling very relaxed and playful, with its vibrant pattern and cozy loose fit. There are sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique bodies, and it will pair beautifully with so many of your wardrobe staples. For me it was a natural choice to add the Delizio jeans from the marketplace, one of my favorite freebies of all time found there, but I can also envision shorts or a long skirt as great choices.

Next I grabbed the gorgeous [satus Inc] Qamar One Sleeve Slit Dress Green Gift. This is such a great color, and unique styling with the slightly off-center slits both in the skirt and bodice. That works out well with the single sleeve too of course :) Claim this treat and you'll receive Erika, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh body sizes. 

Dawn found her beloved denim again, LOL, this time at Spells&Charms in their {S&C} Laurel Dress (fatpack) gift :) The strapless A-line dress comes in sizes for Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, and Reborn bodies, with a HUD offering 6 colors. I really like the panels alternating between solid and embroidered, definitely a visual treat.

My final look tonight has me feeling a little dramatic, at least that's what my shirt says. The Tibuki - Sheela gift is a sporty pairing of racer back tank top and plaid shorts, in sizes for Lara X, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, and Reborn mesh bodies. I did switch from Lara 5.3 to Lara X for this cutie, no regrets and I'm still wearing it all. I'm curious about the symbolism of the three strawberries beneath the wording on the shirt, but it could be just a nod to the pink coloring. Are they the drama queens of the fruit world? My anxiety makes me feel dramatic sometimes, very unintentionally but it does make this outfit amusing to me :)

I am so ready for this weekend to get here...hard to explain, I just feel like the week has been long and slow. I haven't quite sorted my plans yet, but that will be helpful so I have specific goals and ideas of what on earth is happening. Otherwise I feel like I'm just free-floating in a pool of anxiety, not my idea of a good time. I did have a really nice evening, chatting with a friend while playing Hello Kitty together, so I am in a positive mood :) I hope you're all having a wonderful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

FabFree is Phenomenal

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we get to look as fabulous as we truly are, thanks to several group gifts for FabFree in SL. How can we possibly go wrong with a free group that tells us all about the latest events, sales, and special offers around the grid? Of course the long list of group gifts available for FabFree members is an amazing bonus too, and they've been a permanent fixture in my precious group slots for as long as I can remember :) It may have been the entirety of my 17+ years here, which explains my fangirling for them I'm sure. 

My first visit was the group gift building at {Le'La}, where the FabFree treat is this charming Makana Set Gift. Just to be clear if you aren't familiar, yes there is an entire building packed with gifts for various groups here! This pretty plaid set includes the top, cardigan, skirt, and garters in sizing for Erika, Erika Bubble, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Kups, Kup Ups, Legacy, Nerido, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Reborn, and Juicy mesh bodies. The garters, with their fun heart shaped zipper pouch on the left side, also come in Maze thigh versions for each size. The top says "Limited Edition" because the gift is, and we all are :)

Since spring is almost here, our ART & FASHION - SWEET! OUTFIT gift is right on time :) The pretty pastels do remind me of Easter and fresh spring flowers. Our mini dress and coordinating shoes each come in Freya, Isis, Erika, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh body sizes. The gift also includes the arm bracelets and choker I'm wearing here, because accessories are always appreciated.

I also visit [satus Inc] where I found their Alivia Sleeveless Blazer Dress Beige as the current FabFree gift. It almost gives business vibes with the collar and wrapped waist, but the bare arms and short hem tell a different story ;) Actually the peek of cleavage and the front zipper have stories to tell too, don't you think? There are sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies provided.

I must say, I was blown away by the vibrant colors possible on our :::FurtaCor:::Penny Leopard Dress gift :) That's because it includes a HUD with 15 different color combos of leopard print, mostly bright but I did choose a more muted earthy toned version on the right above. The dress has a choker type neckline connected by 3 straps, then the left hip has even more straps holding a wide opening in place. We receive Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh body sizing in this wonderful gift.

My final look of the night takes baby blue and a floral pattern, then combines them into a lovely flirty outfit :) The La Feminique Hannah outfit consists of the top and skirt each in Gen X Classic/Dainty, Gen X Curvy/Dainty, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh body sizes. The top looks like an open cardigan, and the softly pleated skirt has a built in belt to cinch the waist just right.

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

SL Mesh Body Event

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I'd like to invite you to another event, the SL Mesh Body Group Event which seems to be consistently open in the same location without a set opening and closing date. The designers offer special items for sale, and there are gifts for the SLMB group ($9L fee to join, listed as ^^SLMB toward the bottom of your group list) both in the central gift room and upstairs which is an outdoor area. All of tonight's looks are gifts found upstairs, which is where my link should bring you :) I've shared gifts from here before, so I've tried to make sure I am not repeating any from those previous posts, but that might not be so bad if it lets you know that something you didn't before is still available. With no set dates for the gifts to change, I would suggest hurrying just in case your favorite treat shown here is the next to be swapped out for something new.

My first look of the night is the lovely DUET Tylar Dress Patterns gift. This sweet sleeveless dress has a keyhole opening in the front and a slender fitting miniskirt, in sizes for Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Pinup Bombshell, Maitreya, Lara X, and Reborn mesh bodies. The gift also includes a HUD with 5 wonderful textures, mostly floral but there is also a red with white hearts. That variety brings a timeless feeling that makes me very grateful for this gift.

[satus Inc] is offering the Sierra Deep Cutout Mini Dress Red as their current gift here, and all I can say is wow! Well no, I can also tell you about the sizes ;) Those would be Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh body sizes, all with the plunging neckline and sleek fitting sleeves that fall just above the wrist. We could use this to show off a new necklace, or a fun tattoo in the breastbone area if preferred. 

Next we see the flirty =LCS= Moana Fitmesh Fringe Bikini ~ Tropical, which is our gift from Love Cat Store. While it is still summer in RL here, the calendar in SL is much more fluid and we can easily visit any climate with a single teleport, making this strapless fringed bikini a timeless treasure :) The top and bottom are linked to wear as one piece, in standard mesh sizes as well as eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Ocacin, Hourglass, Physique, Reborn, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh body sizing. The soft green color caught my eye, and the whole outfit is designed so intricately that there are many great details to enjoy. 

I also picked up a fantastic gift from TRS Designs called Lauryn Dress Silver. It really is so elegant in its simplicity, and the color has me thinking of doves and clouds just before sunset :) This gift includes Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Khara, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Peach, Reborn, and Waifu mesh body sizes. The possibilities are endless since we can accessorize this so many different ways...simple silver jewelry, wild rainbow of colors, and just about any shoes under the sun will work wonderfully here.

My final look of the evening is the stunning JUMO Originals - BRITANY Dress Guepardo Gift. I looked it up and guepardo translates to cheetah, so that seems to be the inspiration behind our gorgeous animal pattern :) The dress comes in sizing for Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Legacy, Lara X, and Maitreya mesh bodies. The slender metallic belt is built in, and that side slit is amazing! 

Whew, tonight took some weird turns before I got online, so I am glad to be here and able to unwind a bit :) I had an outing planned, and the housemate (driver) decided they simply could not live without pizza from a particular place. So even though I was supposed to be riding around for 20 minutes with no stopping and no destination, at the last minute they insisted on a destination. They didn't even get a pizza that I can eat, LOL, so it was just a case of not following instructions and driving home in an overly fragrant car. Just the thing for anxiety-induced nausea, right? Otherwise I guess it went okay, I mean I didn't jump out of the car screaming or anything, and was in the vehicle for the prescribed amount of time. It would have been a decent drive otherwise, since the weather was decent and there were several people out walking their very cute dogs :) No alpacas this time, but I did see a mini horse and 4 full sized ones, all just relaxing or grazing. I hope you're all having a blissful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

More SLMB Group Gifts

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I'm excited to share more SL Mesh Body Group Event gifts, from the gift rooms on both floors of the July round of the event. All you need is the SLMB group tag active, and it is free to join so these treats won't cost you a thing. I wound up doing some shopping too of course, because I cannot resist the bargains from all these wonderful designers :) This round is open until the 23rd of the month, so come on by and tell a friend.

V8 Underground has been featured on my blog quite often lately, which is not surprising because the designer (former brand Brii Underground) has been a longtime favorite thanks to their talent, generosity, and penchant for including footwear and accessories for a thorough look. Their gift for the SLMB event is this lovely **AMY NUTTALL BLACK ASIAN STYLE COMPLET OUTFIT** which starts with the elegant yet flirty dress in Erika, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Kups, Kup Ups, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn mesh body sizes. Then we have the heels that fit those same bodies' feet, and a pair of earrings with matching necklace which can be adjusted as needed. I love the floral pattern on the top!

Our .::BE BOLD::. Garish gift is a showstopper too, with cropped sweater top and unique leggings all in black and a gold belly chain. Each piece fits Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique bodies, while the ankle boots are sized for Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink high feet. There are gold earrings too for a little sparkle on our ears. We can wear the outfit without the belly chain if we wish, or different shoes, even swap out the top or pants...we are only limited by our imaginations and inventory :)

Next I slipped into the [satus Inc] Fabiana Strapless Open Back Dress Dots gift. Its beautiful style is one of those that I find most fascinating in SL for how impractical (or downright impossible) it would be in RL, with those pointed cups and no straps to hold things in place. We receive sizes for eBody Reborn, Freya, Isis, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh bodies of this sweet gift.

I was also drawn to the charming Nancy Pastel Mini Dress Texture Hud gift being offered by The Best Of Me. It includes Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP mesh body sizes, as well as an 8 color HUD to change the main hue of this dress. There are polka dots in a darker shade of each color, with bands and a heart shape of lace layered atop. So pretty!

My final look of the evening is the TRS Designs Jemma Romper Magenta gift. That color is really eye-popping, isn't it? The halter style is a favorite of mine, and the shorts make it just right for summer. Our romper fits Altamura, eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Tonic Curvy, Tonic Fine, and Tonic Minim mesh bodies. 

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

Tonight I craved variety, so I explored some FabFree in SL group gifts to share :) The group is free to join and gives you an "I'm Fabulous!" group tag to wear, and it is the inworld presence of the wonderful FabFree in SL blog that I've been a fan of for nearly all of my time in SL. It's a great source of news from top designers about sales, new releases, and all sorts of events to visit, in addition to the wonderful gifts that I love to share here from time to time. Please get comfy because we are visiting several different locations to claim these generous gifts :)

Tooty Fruity has me feeling mystical with their Sweater - Skyla gift for FabFree. It may not be October just yet, but it is chilly in some regions in SL so something warm to wear is always welcomed :) This high necked sweater comes in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh bodies, as well as 5 standard sizes for classic avatars. There is also a HUD with 8 different textures, all black backgrounds but various colors of the two patterns seen above. The midnight part of my Midnight Magpie personality approves of all the moons!

I also stopped by [satus Inc] and peeked behind their desk, where there are several group signs on the wall including the FabFree one. These signs each have a smaller image of a gift attached, like the charming Maxine Puff Sleeve Strapless Dress Blue for us fabulous folks :) It has bare shoulders and detached sleeves, and has a strong galaxy vibe thanks to the pattern of tiny planets scattered on the blue background. I zoomed in and saw a few with rings like Saturn so yes, they are definitely heavenly bodies. Speaking of bodies, this gift will fit Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies with ease. I'm thinking jewelry with stars on it would be a fun match...

Do you need a new sundress for summer? Trick question, since it's free I would say we all do ;) I suggest you head on over to Petry Model Store with your FabFree group tag and claim this wonderful Dress USDS gift. It is as versatile as it is pretty, thanks to a 21 texture HUD with a mix of prints and solids to select from. The dress is provided in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh body sizes. I do appreciate the fluttery skirt style and the sweetheart neckline, and the way the trim is always a well coordinated solid color is a definite plus.

BWC Fascinating set is a gift that's certain to turn up the heat, no matter what climate you're in! This extra sheer sparkly dress and tiny panties (crotch patch) each come in Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizes, with heels  that fit Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink high feet. You can tell there is also a HUD, with 12 colors apiece for the dress and panties (they are tinted green on the left above but we can only see like 2 pixels worth, I promise I'm wearing them!!) and 6 for the heels. Please click the appropriate button first to choose what to tint, then your color selection, or you just might apply the heels texture to your entire dress. Trust me, that is a weird look, LOL, but easily remedied once you click the dress button and then retexture it correctly :) Then tap that heels button and pick your shoe shade, easy peasy.

My final look of the evening is blooming with beauty, the La Feminique - Flora gift for FabFree. If you've read here before (and if so, thank you ♥) you may have seen me mention that I love floral patterns of all kinds, and these multicolored daisies instantly captivated me. We receive sizes for eBody Reborn, Erika, Freya, Hourglass, Kupra (Bimbo, Low, Original), Kups A, Kups B, Legacy, Perky, Love Aphrodite, Love Momma, Maitreya, and Petite mesh bodies. The neckline is a little lower cut than I initially realized, but trimmed in a sweet shade of pink that highlights the pattern very nicely. 

Tomorrow is a busy day, so I'm getting a bit anxious already but am trying to prepare with calming thoughts. I hope you're all having a pleasant day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

FabFree Group Gifts

 Hiya everyone! Tonight's post features several group gift for the FabFree in SL group, which is free to join and also currently in the final week of their FabFree at Fifteen celebration. I've covered that in a few prior posts, so tonight's gifts are all regularly offered group gifts that are not connected to the shopping/gifting event celebrating FabFree's 15th birthday. However most of the stores are also offering sales and gifts for that event, so if you haven't already explored it this is a good reminder to do so :) There are simply so many fantastic designers who participate in the event and the group in general, offering group gifts all year round, and I am very grateful to all of them.

My first look tonight is the Debra Flared Skirt Dress Beige gift from [satus Inc]. This lovely sleeveless dress comes in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies. It is delicately trimmed in an off white that is just a few shades lighter than the main beige hue. The skirt billows out beautifully, whether in motion or standing perfectly still. 

I also visited zOOm and picked up their fun and versatile Pixie Outfit gift. It consists of the t-shirt, shorts, and skirt seen here, each in Freya, Legacy, and Maitreya sizes. Then there is a HUD with 4 colors for each piece, so we can mix and match a few dark hues. Each separate has its own texture, so that adds to the visual interest as well :) This became an instant favorite as soon as I tried it on for the first time!

Next we have the well-coordinated [Vips Creations] - [Louisa-Silver Diamonds] gift just for FabFree group members. The dress includes a classic fitted version as well as sizing for Belleza Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies. The matching shoes will fit Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink high feet, and are adorned with several pretty bows. This outfit is a great choice if you are heading to a nightclub, since basic black dresses can be very common there and all this sparkle will stand out in the best way.

Many of us are deep into summer in RL, with some heat waves sweeping lots of areas, so a bikini is sounding very tempting right now and this one is looking sexy! This is the 160 - Bikini Color 3 from Cremosas Store, a very generous designer with tons of gifts for various groups including two of their own. Just look for the rainbow FabFree sign to find this one among all the others :) Its bra and panties each come in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh body sizes. The panties are thong styled, with the bra having a very unique cropped corset shape with an attached ribbon like a necklace that is tied in the front. I really like the lush burgundy color, very flattering!

I chose something especially seductive for my final look of the evening, the Glitter Katia Fitmesh High Slit Dress Acqua. This asymmetrical hemmed slip dress fits the Maitreya mesh body, and includes a HUD with solid or sheer options for the shimmery satin fabric. My eyes are automatically drawn to the gold V neckline, then the flirty opening, leading down to the bared left hip. As you can tell from the rear view, the sheer option is just as shiny and is almost the same color but our skin tone shows through just enough to change it a tiny bit. 🔥

It was a whirlwind of a weekend here, thanks to the heat and the trip to the farmers market. The couple who are retiring from their business were celebrating their final day there, and I admit I felt very emotional saying goodbye to them even though I expect we'll see them shopping there as customers from time to time. The sweet Boston terrier who is usually there was extra friendly and I felt so much better after petting him ♥. Animals can definitely sense emotions, as I've seen time and time again, and I'm guessing most of you have experienced similar. My television (next to and slightly behind my monitor here) is older than dirt and about to croak, so I took advantage of a back to school sale at Best Buy and ordered a new tv that will be ready by Friday I believe, but sometimes they are faster than expected so could be any point this week. My current one is a Roku tv, so the new one is also which means a very easy transition without having to learn a new system. I hope you all enjoyed your weekend and are having a pleasant day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
