Tangled Up In Blue

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I'm feeling blue, not as in sadness but just vibing with the color blue :) That is because I visited the BLUE SL Event, which is always a pleasure for finding exclusive offers, discounts, and group gifts. Their group is free to join, so the gifts you see here won't cost you a single penny, and the exclusive offer at the end is such a sassy way to treat yourself. I got into the habit of using song titles for my posts from this monthly event since there are so darn many amazing ones with "blue" in the title or lyrics, and I had a little assist from a search engine this time. I'm reaching back a bit before my time (before my musical awareness, I was 4) with a Bob Dylan song, partly a nod to his biopic which I haven't seen yet so I have no idea if it's featured in it or not. Maybe have a listen while you read the post, or while you visit the event :)


My first look is the daring Lilly Sheer Sun Dress Set Pink gift from Allure Couture. The gauzy lace dress is trimmed with fringe on its V shaped skirt, and we receive both the dress and a c-string (crotch covering) in sizes for Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Pinup, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. I almost want to wear it as a negligee too!


Now that spring is here, those beach vacations feel even closer at hand, and are always possible in SL. If you've got one planned or just have a pool you can visit/rez out, be sure to 'pack' this stunning ALO! - Kaia Bikini - FATPACK gift :) The top and panty are each provided in Lara X, Legacy, Perky, Reborn, and Waifu mesh body sizes, with a HUD that offers 10 choices each for the bikini and ribbon. Our bikini fabric has all sorts of fun patterns, and we can match them to the solid colors of the ribbons for some creative looks. There is no fabric in the back, just strings, LOL, so I spared you the view of my nearly bare booty this time but still wanted to mention that it is an eye-opening rear view.


This charming top is our BQ::Nightmare TShirt:: Black GIFT from BlondeQueen, and I am definitely a fan. The distinctive image on the front does make me think of a much loved cross-holiday movie, and the shirt has a loose comfy fit and cropped style. There are sizes for Erika, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh bodies included. I switched back to my Lara 5.3 here from Lara X, and kept it on for the rest of the post. Another switch I made here was adding some beautiful nails, which are our Nails Passion - Elisabeth gift. They will fit Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn hands, just hide your body's built in nails and add the pair from this folder. The pearly base has a lavender tint, contrasting wonderfully against the black French edges and pretty floral designs.


How precious is this piggy, all dolled up and sipping her tea? Our [LS] CROPED CUTE gift is a sweet turtleneck sweater that is shortened to show off a bit of midriff, just a delightful treat to wear with your favorite pants, jeans, shorts, or skirts. I'm wearing the blue pair of Delizio jeans with all my tops in this post, partly because blue and partly because they match just about everything and are my easy go-to.


For my final look of the evening, I get to share that exclusive offer I mentioned in the beginning :) The Bold Llama T-Shirt Co. UNDERESTIMATE ME Tees made me laugh and smirk, because I think we've all been in a situation where someone has done just that. It's not just men either, so please don't think I am wearing this as a dig at the guys...if you've ever not felt like smiling in a picture, you probably got told how much prettier you'll be if you just give in and smile. Heck, my mom used to tell me to smile if I was being grouchy which did not help. Underestimating anyone can be a dangerous choice, and the third choice on the enclosed HUD not shown says "Angry Women Will Change the World" with a pink perfume bottle being spritzed. For $150L, you'll receive all the sizes on an unpacker HUD and they will deliver to you with the texture HUD so you can speak your mind without saying a word ;) Those sizes are standard, eBody Classic, eBody Reborn, Waifu, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP bodies. So, let's try to be considerate and not tell women what to do with their faces, okay? And definitely don't assume that having boobs makes someone less intelligent or less capable than you. We're all trying our best out here and deserve respect :)

It was a nice day out today, and I did get my free DQ cone with a dollar dip for charity. My choices were chocolate, butterscotch, and maybe strawberry? Shrug, I am a chocoholic so that was my pick, and it was a good excuse to treat myself and get out of the house for a bit. I'm still not sure if I am going to dinner tomorrow at my parents', but I have a backup food plan so it's all good. I've got no idea what I am blogging tomorrow yet, LOL, so chaos is happening here. At this point it's like okay, what DO you know? Well, I know that I'm wishing all of you a very nice day/evening, and sending many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Happy Anniversary SENSE

 Hiya everyone! Tonight is a part two of the SENSE Event and their 7th anniversary round, which wraps up on the 8th so please do hurry and stop by :) Their group is free to join, and there are many gifts available at various displays in pretty black bags with the Sense logo. I could keep going with more parts since there are so many generous gifts, but the calendar is not my friend in that regard unfortunately. I'm still annoyed at myself for not finding out about it until its final week, but I'm grateful to be able to sneak in two full posts about it before the round closes. 


My first look of the evening is the AXE-GIFT Dress, a sweet treat in brick red that looks warm and inviting. The high neckline and long sleeves are balanced by a very short hem, and this lovely gift includes Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Peach, and Reborn mesh body sizes. It is tempting me to add some leggings beneath for a more wintry look, or at the very least some undies to prevent cam-pervs ;)


I also adore the AXE-OUTFIT Grace gift, from its glittery tube top to its extra shiny pants with slits on the flared legs. The top is provided in sizes for Belleza Classic, Belleza Curvy, Kupra, Kups, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Reborn, and Juicy mesh bodies, while the pants fit Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn bodies. The subtle plaid on the pants are a fun touch too, and Xan even noticed the reflective qualities of the pants :)


I kept on the pants so I could show you two wonderful tops here :) The MCC - woman - xmas sweater 10 from MadCatCreations is the lovely on the left, and has a turtleneck built in to match the cuffs and hem. It is provided in Erika, Kupra, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Maitreya, Lara X, Reborn, Waifu, Senra Jamie, and Star mesh body sizing. Then on the right you can see the AnaSTyle - Lia Red - Top, giving very different weather vibes yet in a similar hue. This cutie is designed for Legacy, Perky, Lara X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies, and will go just as well with your favorite skirt as with a casual pair of jeans. 


Next I slipped into the gorgeous JXL-DRESS 13/08 gift, which is one of two I found at the event from this brand. The broad ruffle up top loops around diagonally to provide a single sleeve, and the right side of the skirt is slit all the way to the waist and tied in a playful bow. It fits Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Pinup, Lara X, and Reborn mesh bodies. The green has a deep and rich quality that I definitely appreciate.


My final look of the night has a similar fuzzy quality to the first picture up there, at least on the pretty sweater :)  Our ALO - Anais Top & Skirt - Set 05 gift includes Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Lara X, Reborn, and Waifu sizes, and the top and skirt are separate pieces if you wish to wear them individually. I never rule that out when it's a possibility, even if I am enjoying the various shades of blue together. It made me think of this great song from the 70s, Misty Blue by Dorothy Moore, which I cannot recommend highly enough if you are feeling a bit reflective and enjoy bluesy slow songs by a woman whose voice sounds like warm honey.

I'm really slow tonight and I'm not even sure why. Dinner with my parents was nice, and my dad sounded unusually supportive when I mentioned the outings I'd done this week. He's usually pretty emotionally detached, so I'll take whatever kindness I can get from him :) The weather is getting very wintry here, with 3-6" of snow coming on Monday but some icy conditions before then (like currently) so I am staying home and trying to stay cozy. Wishing you all a wonderful weekend ahead, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
