Hiya everyone! Tonight I have a selection of group gifts to share with you, starting with some fashions for the FabFree in SL group. The group is free to join, as you can probably guess from the name, and it is the in-world presence of the FabFree in SL blog which I have been avidly reading for many years. The website and the group both provide information about sales, gifts, events, and all sorts of special offers, while the group tag entitles you to gifts from an impressive number of designers across the grid. I also have a beautiful set of manicures from ~Mani Pedi~, which is a gift for their in-world group members and their subscribers. I really enjoy their nail polishes, and I hope you do too!

My first visit was to NUTS Inc, and it is quite a struggle not to make a pun about how I am nuts about their Calla Dress :) It is the ladies gift for FabFree (yes, that distinction means there is one for the men too) and is provided on a handy delivery HUD so you choose the body brand you wish delivered to you. There are buttons for Altamura, Belleza, eBody, Maitreya, Slink, and TMP, and clicking one will deliver versions for that particular brand plus a HUD with 6 color choices. The strapless style is very shapely, with a ruffle across the bodice and a bustle of denim in the rear.

:::Revelation::: also has a terrific gift for FabFree members, called Aila Outfits. Its top and skirt are each provided in Freya, Isis, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizing, with a HUD that offers 14 colors each for the top and its ruffle, then 11 textures each for the skirt's top, bottom, and lacing string. There are solid colors and patterns among the skirt choices, while the solid colors for the top match them beautifully. A quick tip to find this gift in the store: there are gifts in packages on a low platform in front of the wall with group signs on it, and this one is in the front row in a black package. If you click the wrong one, it will just tell you that you have the wrong group tag on, so not a big deal.

This flirty outfit is the FabFree gift from Alias! called Vintage Heart Solid. There is a dress and matching panties in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine sizing, with a HUD that lets you pick from 4 texture varieties for the skirt. The heels come in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique. Even the heart choker is provided, and you can adjust it if necessary.
Next we have the lovely [WellMade] Fab Dress, aptly named as the FabFree group gift. There is a HUD with 3 colors of the same floral pattern to choose from, and how fun is that lacing up the back? The dress is provided in sizing for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP mesh bodies.

It is time for a closer view of these sensational polishes from ~Mani Pedi~, their February 2020 group gift called Signature Shomei Polish. It includes appliers for Maitreya, Omega, and Slink, with 7 vibrant colors that are all taken from the store's original logo, as is their tradition with group gifts. They all have a pearlescent shimmer to them, and a metallic division between nail bed and paler tips. To claim these, you can either join their free store group, or sign up for their subscriber which will deliver you regular updates about their nail polishes and their L.S.D. clothing line. Fun fact, there are often matching nail polish sets available for their clothing releases so you can coordinate your look completely.
Changing plans makes my poor head spin, so it was an interesting day...I am still confused on what day of the week it is, but I know the next few days are going to be quite busy. As a matter of fact, I will be taking the evening off from blogging on Saturday, but tomorrow I should be able to post something for you :) It is hard to believe that February is almost over already, and we're almost to Leap Day. Time sure does fly lately, doesn't it? I hope you're all having a beautiful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Hiya everyone! Tonight I am very pleased to tell you about this month's DAZZLE round. The theme is "Fashion Is a Style of Dance", and it is their 3rd anniversary to boot. So in addition to the exclusive offers each round brings, there are also anniversary gifts ranging from 0 to 10 lindens at most of the displays. This exciting round is open until the 25th, so you have plenty of time to visit and grab demos, then return and do your shopping at your leisure.
My first look this evening is the exclusive offer from Fleur De Lis, their beautiful *Jade* Party Dress. It is only $125L, and that includes the flower dress with a 4 color HUD and the sequin dress with a bonus 7 color HUD, in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, and Maitreya mesh bodies. The dresses pick up sheen from ambient light in your environment, a very pretty touch that makes me want to wear them dancing.
The *Lurve* display has a free gift for all visitors, no group needed, called Plaid Lovers Mini in Violet. It consists of the flirty dress in standard mesh sizes as well as Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP, plus the necklace, bangles, and sunglasses seen here. Just pay $1L and you will be automatically refunded and you'll receive this terrific gift :)
This charming outfit is our free gift from Moonstar, MESH Blue Sparkling Dress, Necklace and Shoes. The dress does in fact have a glittery texture, and comes in a standard classic size as well as eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique versions. The necklace is adjustable, and the matching sandals come in Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink High sizes. There is even a pair of panties in system layers plus an Omega applier.
Another display you don't want to miss is that of ~Mani Pedi~, where you can find this fantastic All That Jazz Polish as their exclusive offer. You can choose from Maitreya, Omega, and Slink appliers for $100L each, so you only pay for what you need. There are 6 vivid colors that are a perfect contrast to the black background, to liven up any outfit.
There is also a themed gift from ~Mani Pedi~ called Backbeat Polish, so you can paint those tips and toes with a silvery version of the exclusive offer. Just pay $10L and you will receive the Maitreya, Omega, and Slink HUDs in this elegant design.
I hope you're all having a terrific day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Hiya everyone! Tonight I have several treasures to share, starting with some of the hunt prizes from the Remembering You Hunt 2. This is a gridwide $1L hunt with a long stem red poppy as the hunt object, and the landmarks with helpful hints can be found on their website. I appreciate the thrill of the hunt in SL, with the opportunity to visit so many stores and wind up with a very affordable treat from each. I am also pleased to show you not just one but two exclusive offers from DAZZLE and their "At The Train Station" round this month. There are so many talented designers taking part in this exciting theme, I'm just making this post twice as nice by selecting from two of them.

My first look this evening is the female hunt prize from Waffles, called Remembrance Top & Denim Overalls Shorts. It is included in a trio of classic sizes (S, M, L) as well as Freya, Venus, Maitreya, Ocacin, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, Tonic Fine, and Voluptuous versions. The guys can claim a tank top and shorts set by finding their flower, both hints and previews can be found on the website.
Next we seek the poppy at The Sissy Bar to claim this adorable shorts set which is named after the hunt itself. The tank top and shorts each come in sizes for eBody Classic, eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine. The single red poppy on the top is a delightful match for the whole bouquet worth of flowers blooming across the shorts.
I was also very happy to find this Remember Romper v2 inside the poppy at Changed Seasons. It is provided in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP sizing, with a playful red/white/blue design and strapless boyleg style. I envision wearing this at a picnic, or visiting a house near a peaceful lake.
Our next journey is to DAZZLE, more specifically the {Melt} display for their beautiful Serenity Dress. Crafted in luxurious fabrics with gold trim and sash, it includes three classic sizes (S, M, L) as well as versions for Freya, Venus, Maitreya, Ocacin, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, Tonic Fine, and Voluptuous mesh bodies. There is also a texture HUD provided with 12 terrific choices like the two shown above. All this is just $150L and is a DAZZLE exclusive, so if you like what you see please visit before the 25th.
An important tip for all travelers is to arrive at the train station On Time, which also happens to be the name of my gorgeous nail polishes here by ~Mani Pedi~. They are offering HUDs for Slink, Maitreya, and Omega, each $90L and exclusively at DAZZLE this round. These versatile colors have intriguing swirls to add depth to their hues, and each HUD has 8 shades for a perfect manicure to enjoy with just about any outfit.
My houseguest is arriving in a little while, and then the whirlwind weekend can begin :) I will not be able to blog tomorrow night because of a dinner reservation, about which I am nervously excited, plus all the things I usually do during the day on Saturday. I'm still trying to figure out when to squeeze in some rest ;) However I will be back to posting on Sunday evening, with plenty of new looks to share. I hope you all have a fantastic weekend, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Hiya everyone! Tonight I have some prizes to share from the Quoth The Raven Hunt, a $1L gridwide hunt that also offers the option to purchase the prizes for $25L each at the sign in each store if you prefer not to hunt. The locations, hints, and preview images can be found on their website, so I do suggest having it open while you are hunting to guide you. It probably won't surprise you that the hunt object is a raven, who has been found perching in some really creative spots in the various stores. My nails needed something special to coordinate with these dark prizes, so a visit to DAZZLE and its Black Cat - Enchanted Masquerade theme was well warranted. I have the exclusive selection from ~Mani Pedi~ on my nails tonight, with a closer view at the very end.

My first look is the prize from AdelleArts which is simply named Quoth The Raven Hunt Prize, and it is an exclusive for this hunt. The dress comes in standard sizes plus a Maitreya version, while the tights are in system layers as well as an Omega applier. The heels are sized for Maitreya Mid, and the necklace is included too with a resizer built in, so even your accessories are covered. This outfit has it all, from spooky spider webs to shimmery hose.
I am captivated by this prize from Little 2 Large, which is one of several hiding inside their raven. This is the L2L Nevermore Gown, and it is daringly slit on both sides of the skirt with elegant embroidery along its edges. The dress comes in standard fitmesh sizes plus Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink versions, and there are separate shoulder feathers that you can add to each side as I have above. The texture is really intriguing too. In addition, there is a mens prize as well as petites and dinkies sized gifts provided.
This lovely gown is the ~SbD~ Hark The Raven Dress from Sparrow by Design, and it is one of two gifts that the raven will reward you with when you pay him a single linden. There is a mens gift as well as this vintage style beauty in sizes for Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique.
I have to admit, this prize gave me a hearty chuckle when I read it. You can claim yours by finding the raven at Zero F*cks Given Clothing, called {zfg} 5 Minutes. It is provided in standard sizes as well as Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine versions. It reads "5 minutes after logging into SL and I'm using fuck like a comma", which I have also seen as a meme referencing work. The only time I get that annoyed with SL is when it's a particularly laggy day, or I wind up visiting multiple sluggish sims in a short amount of time. There are a lot of sassy shirts for sale here, among many other treats, so have fun browsing!

For my final look this evening, I am thrilled to show a closer view of the exclusive ~Mani Pedi~ Superstition Polish, found only at DAZZLE until the 25th of October. There are 6 colors of feline eyes to choose from, along with a solid black (perfect for doing accent nails) all for just $80L per applier HUD. There are HUDs for Slink, Maitreya, and Omega, so most mesh hands should be compatible. Just click the vendor and choose the brand you wish, no need to buy varieties you don't need. The eyes provide such pretty pops of color!
It was a chilly and rainy day here, and the next several days look to be similarly cool but drier which is nice. Fall is certainly here, also known as pumpkin spice season LOL, and I am glad to be past those sweltering hot days. I hope you're all having a wonderful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Hiya everyone! Tonight I have some treats from the 'stuff Groups Fall In-Sim Hunt to show you, a $0L - $1L hunt for wrapped candy pieces that are color coded for the various groups. There are Menstuff, Womenstuff, Kidstuff, Homestuff, and Posestuff, and just click any of the signs scattered around their groups plaza to get a notecard of stores, prizes, and hints. The stores are color coded just like the candies, so you should find each participant fairly easily. I am a longtime member of the Womenstuff group, which is $50L to join but there are many gifts here at the lounge area, which I will probably be showing you some of in the very near future :) The group tag is not necessary for the 'stuff Hunt, so please do visit even if you aren't a member. I also have two more prizes from the ~Mani Pedi~ mini hunt at Free Dove for you to enjoy, the remaining from the Free Dove location that I hadn't shared the other night. I love any excuse to display well manicured nails! You will need your Free Dove group tag active to claim these beauties from their black boxes with feline eyes.

The flirty dress above is one of two free prizes from SnB Fashion, both in their 'stuff lounge location in tiny red candies. This Candy Dress - TOTS has cheerful colors and playful ruffles to accentuate the halter style mini. It comes in sizes for Altamura, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP.
Our other SnB prize is their Cintai Treat Dress, sure to make you look and feel like the sweetest person at your next Halloween type party ;) The rich brown dress has creamy stripes and is dotted with cleverly decorated cupcakes. We can enjoy this prize in sizes for eBody Classic, Fitted, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique, just by finding the free candy.
Emerald Couture is also providing a seasonal treat inside their free candy, their EC Simona Orange. It starts with the dress, which comes in standard mesh sizes plus eBody Classic, eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP. We continue with the fishnet stockings in system layers plus an applier for Belleza, Maitreya, Omega, and Slink, and finish with the perfectly matched boots in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique.
Back to the lovely Free Dove, where we find among the wonderful ~Mani Pedi~ hunt gifts this set of Bento Box - Just the Brownz too! which includes the appliers for Maitreya, Omega, and Slink. There are 4 designs on each HUD, all shown above, each an excellent choice for your autumn wardrobe. I admit that the one on my index finger made me crave chocolate, not that that is unusual or a bad thing, and the plaid caught my eye immediately.
We wrap up tonight's post with another prize from Free Dove, the ~Mani Pedi~ Bento Box - Just the Bluez too! in the same Maitreya, Omega, and Slink HUDs. Each holds these 4 designs in such beautiful blues like the royal on my pinky and the gold-tipped next to that. I appreciate that the bento box sets from Mani Pedi tell you what main set each design is originally from, so you can find the full range of colors that each design comes from easily.
It was a productive day, if a bit tiring, and I am in a great mood after watching my hockey team win their season opener :) I am not being vague to be mysterious, just trying not to ping search engines by mentioning the team/city. It is going to be a busy few days ahead, and I hope you're all having a wonderful day/evening. Many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Hiya everyone! Tonight we have another terrific selection from DAZZLE and their October round, Black Cat - Enchanted Masquerade theme. I chose two of the exclusive dresses from Prism to share in this post, and I think you'll enjoy them as much as I do. I also have more prizes from the Free Dove mini hunt from ~Mani Pedi~, the 4 you can find while visiting their main store. You will need your Free Dove group tag active when you click those black boxes with feline eyes on one side, and my suggestion is to use your camera controls to cam up as high as possible and all around :) It is a lovely place to visit, and just wait until you see the amazing variety of nail palettes available.

There are several wonderful offerings on the Prism Designs display, including their DAZZLE exclusive offer called Sugar Mini Dress & Wrap. There are six colors to choose from, among them the Purple I am wearing on the left with the wrap, and Silver on the right without the wrap. I appreciate the versatility, and can envision wearing the wrap to start a night out then removing it for dancing. The dress comes in fitmesh standard sizes along with Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine; the wrap is provided in fitmesh standard, Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink sizes. Each color is only $150L each, so be sure to pick up your favorites!

Time to visit the ~Mani Pedi~ store, where we are searching for those black boxes with golden eyes on them. There are 4 hiding here, each holding appliers for Maitreya, Omega, and Slink for most popular mesh hands. This first one tonight is called Bento Box - Just the Yellowz too! and there are four selections in the namesake hue. The bento box HUDs have small pictures near each nail design of the original palette they came from, and when you click each design you can see in local chat the name of the palette as well. This can be handy if they inspire you to do some shopping!
This next prize features one of my favorite colors in 4 striking designs, so it's easy to see why this makes me so happy. It is called ~Mani Pedi~ Bento Box - Just the Purplez too! and lets you pick from 4 fun styles ranging from foil to marble.
Maybe you are in the mood for autumn colors to spice up your next manicure, then be sure to find the prize box containing Bento Box - Just the Orangez too! It has four terrific choices, great for Halloween or whenever you have the urge to wear something orange.
My final look of the evening is the last of the four prizes found at ~Mani Pedi~, Bento Box - Just the Blackz too! in the same handy HUDs as all the others. There are four unique designs to choose from, and I am truly a fan of the entire set. The matte with glossy tip is particularly a favorite, although I'm sure you will enjoy wearing these with any outfit from casual to formal.
I hope you are all having a splendid day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Hiya everyone! With a new month comes new hunts and events, so tonight I delve into one of the Free Dove mini hunts for October. It is by ~Mani Pedi~ and features 10 wonderful nail palettes, all hiding in black boxes with the store's cat eyes logo (panther?) on a black background. 6 are at Free Dove, while the other 4 are at the mainstore of ~Mani Pedi~, so you get to explore both places with your Free Dove group tag active (free to join) to claim all these goodies. I am also excited to share a selection from DAZZLE, the exclusive offer from anny's Fashion for the October round. The theme for this month is Black Cat - Enchanted Masquerade, so it is fascinating to see how the various designers have represented that idea in their selections.

The exclusive DAZZLE offer from anny's Fashion is their beautiful [AF] Junie Lace Dress, which is just $165L until the 25th of the month. The dress is included in standard mesh sizes plus eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Ocacin, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine versions. There is also a HUD that lets you choose from 6 different textures, two of which are shown above and all various black and tan lace designs. The slender belt is built in and really accentuates the off-the-shoulder styling.
Next we visit the Free Dove, where we explore to find the hidden boxes from ~Mani Pedi~. The first one holds this gorgeous ~Mani Pedi~ Bento Box - Just the Whitez too! set, 4 selections each on appliers for Maitreya, Omega, and Slink. There are two solids that look like pure satin, and the gold tipped one is a true classic. The soft floral looks amazing with a white edge, and all will flatter just about any skin tone.
Prize #2 is another set of 4 designs called Bento Box - Just the Redz too! because as you can see, there are delightful shades of crimson in these gifts. As with all of the hunt prizes, this contains applier HUDs for Maitreya, Omega, and Slink, and there is a nice variety of looks from this set. The gilded edge and the fun plaid caught my eye first, but the others are just right for livening up a simple black dress or even a comfy pair of jeans.
The next prize is called Bento Box - Just the Pinkz too! and there are some vivid shades to be found among these four designs. I love how two of them have chocolaty undertones, and the other two pop with how bright they are.
My final look of the evening is ~Mani Pedi~ Bento Box - Just the Greenz too! which is prize #4 in the mini hunt. We have another gold tipped choice here, and a tartan that I don't plan on waiting for St. Patrick's Day to enjoy, among the quad of design choices. The same three HUDs are provided: Maitreya, Omega, and Slink, for your most popular mesh hand needs. Even if you don't care for mesh bodies, there is something so impressive about mesh hands and what an improvement over the default avatar...bento animations for mesh fingers have made them even better, so I will never regret the investment.
I am off to quite a late start tonight, just a case of running behind and being distracted by a bevy of random things. They weren't bad things, I just feel guilty for being so slow. That just reminded me of something from grade school and gave me a giggle...I had a plain white folder that my best friend decided to decorate with as many expressions (back then found on bumper stickers and pins for denim jackets) as she could think of, and one that always stuck with me was "If you don't feel guilty, it wasn't good". She would often quote it, but probably rarely felt genuine remorse ;) I think we have all either had one of those friends, or maybe were that friend? It keeps life interesting. I hope you're all having an awesome day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
