Hiya everyone! It was a mostly quiet day, and I have just two places for you to visit tonight to pick up the freebies shown here. There are group gifts from Insomnia Store, whose group is free to join, and there is a better look at a Midnight Mania prize I hinted at yesterday from DanemarkZ. I am always grateful to find free or almost free gifts to share, as it does help us spread our SL budgets a bit further and gives us a chance to wear the designers' hard work out and about (rather than a brief demo) to better appreciate their style. If you like a free gift you pick up, please support the creators by shopping in their store, so they will be able to continue to offer us these freebies :) I know that I personally could never manage to do what they do, which makes me even more glad that there are so many creative and talented ladies and gentlemen out there who keep my avi looking her best.
My first look shows two different gifts found at Insomnia Store, just wear your free group tag and click the various bags, signs, and boxes in the group gifts area to claim them. The dress is their *IS* Doll Mini Dress, standard mesh sizes with a HUD featuring 6 different textures/color combos for the dress, two of which are shown here. On the left I am wearing the *IS* Fur Stole Winter Edition Christmas Gift, 3 sizes that span the range of standard sizes by combining a few, and another HUD for two different textures to the fur itself. They are both white, just different patterns. As mesh, they do move with your arms and it is quite handy in the cooler weather.
I really like the style of our next gift, *IS* Flowers Embroidered Dress Updated, which is two gifts in one since you get the black and white versions in one gift, sized for Maitreya, Belleza, and Slink only but I'm sure with alpha layers you could work it out for a classic body. The scalloped hem is as lovely as the floral designs and slight hints of embossed lace. The long sleeves make it ideal for winter, and if the short skirt seems too chilly, you can always pick out your favorite tights or leggings to wear beneath. I might even use it as a tunic top over some cute jeans.
Another beautiful gift you can claim from Insomnia Store is their *IS* Mohito Rose Dress Exclusive Group Gift, with its fluttery layered skirt and soft bow to top it off. You will find all standard sizes in this box, and it looks like I caught myself gasping or giggling at how sweet this style looks.
Yesterday I mentioned that I could not show you a closer look yet at one of the Midnight Mania prizes from DanemarkZ since SL was being glitchy, well fortunately today the grid was much kinder to me :) So here is that wonderful prize, the DMZ Ten shades of Passion Nailpolish pack. There are, as the name implies, 10 designs to choose from or mix and match, including solids and a subtle marbled look, and that deep grey grid with chains draped across my index finger. Such rich colors, the gloss and shadowing really gives them depth. Hurry and click those boards, they don't need many clicks to lock down each day. The pack includes appliers for Belleza, Omega, Slink fingernails, and Slink toenails.
I have a few busy days ahead, but will still try my best to blog regularly and bring you glimpses of my favorite affordable finds in SL. It is especially challenging after the excitement of the holidays has died down, but there are so many places I have never visited yet across the grid that I am enjoying the exploration. Have a beautiful day/evening, magical magpie hugs to each of you!!

Hiya everyone! I visited the Premium Only Event earlier and am pleased to share with you some of their group gifts available for this round. The group is free to join, and the gifts can be found on a table in the center of the room. The event runs until the 25th of the month so you have plenty of time to peruse their quality offerings.
First we have a cozy sweater dress and bracelets from M's Avon. The purple dress comes in 2 sizes, one is for Physique or XXS, XS, or S while the other is for Belleza-Freya or L/M. Easy enough, and if you're unsure it only takes a second to try them both on and decide :) The bracelets are for Paris and have left and right, A and B varieties each which have the colors reversed for the bands vs. the Eiffel Tower in the center. They are generously sized, too.
Insomnia Store has a very playful gift that is exclusive to this event, their Butterfly Outfit which includes a mesh corset in 5 sizes, system layer panties with a TMP HUD, and shoes for Slink high and a pair for TMP Ouch. Also included are the lovely wings (left and right separate) and mask, with its adorable antennae peeking out from my hair. The great thing about separate pieces is that you can wear them all, or just pick and choose some that suit your mood and what you have planned.
This sweet dress is our gift from DEW, and lots of you will be happy to read that it's mesh body friendly. This dress is comprised of system layers for top and bottom, with appliers for Omega and a multi-HUD that I believe showed the logos for Belleza, Maitreya, Slink and Eve. Let's not forget the ruffly skirt of course, and a flash of booty cleavage from behind ;) This is no basic little black dress, that's for sure.
Finally we have a gift from Eyelure for the event, a Waffle Weave Dress in Silver. This intriguing style reminds me of a toga, but is more complex than that with various straps and draping. You really need to appreciate it from every angle :) It is provided in standard sizes along with Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink versions so you can find the right fit for your body.
My timing is certainly better tonight, shocking considering my morning photo session was thwarted by rolling restarts that kicked me out of my home sim and then a minute later, the sim my premium home is located on. I felt like I was being chased, my overactive imagination pictured the giant boulder from Indiana Jones rolling at me, heehee! Once I got some rest and logged back in, all was well and I enjoyed the opportunity to show you these lovely gifts. I hope you're all having a terrific day/evening, magical magpie hugs to all!!
