Happy Anniversary ACCESS

 Hiya everyone! Tonight's post is a part two of gifts from the ACCESS Event which is celebrating its 8th anniversary this round. Their group is free to join, and there are tons of generous treats for the members. I noticed plenty of male fashion gifts along with the female clothing and accessories, plus the mix includes decor too so a little something for all. We have just over 2 weeks remaining, as this round runs until the 8th of July :) Grab those gifts, pick up demos, and enjoy!

For my first look this evening I'm starting strong with our AURICA Anette Dress YELLOW gift. This sleeveless dress with daring diagonal hemline is just stunning, and the sunny color is sure to earn compliments. The gift includes sizes for Legacy, Perky, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies, along with a metals HUD offering 3 tones for the clasps at the ends of the bows on the left hip and across our back. 

That dress shows off our arms so well that it seemed like a great opportunity to display the .:Vegas:. Tattoo Applier Eclipse group gift. In addition to appliers for Altamura, Belleza, Legacy, Maitreya, Omega, Signature, and Slink bodies, we receive BOM layers too, all in dark, medium, and light versions. The unisex body art covers from upper arms down to the backs of our hands, with symbols just past the first knuckle on our hands. I love all the details, and the monochromatic design looks so fierce!

Sometimes we need to combine two gifts for one amazing look :) The Rosary. Cropped. Purple top is a beauty with crossed straps in the front, creating a frame for our cleavage. There are sizes for Kupra, Lara X, Legacy, Reborn, R. Risque, and Waifu mesh bodies provided. A high waisted pair of pants really does suit that top nicely, such as our [Grazed] Minerva Pants // Black gift. They have suspender straps hanging down each hip and racing stripes on each side, plus openings in the front to show off a little leg :) We receive Legacy F, Legacy M, and Reborn sizes, so these are unisex and are baggy enough that they might even work with other bodies if you try. 

I really seem to have brought my inner rebel out to play today! Those pants look terrific with the Gaia - gift bralette top ACCESS Birthday. This shirt is as versatile as it is edgy, thanks to the HUD that offers 7 metal colors as well as an on/off option for the sleeves (both ways shown above). There is sizing for Legacy, Perky, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies provided. The little cross is lovely, and did you notice the subtle butterfly on the fabric?

One more look tonight, we wrap up with the flirty Stiff - Maxinne Shirt - Olive group gift. It is just long enough to be worn as a dress, or we can layer some leggings or jeans beneath if we wish. It fits Lara X, Legacy, Perky, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies, and includes a HUD with 20 colors for the wide belt. I liked the black to bring out the dark collar, but I'm also a fan of mixing things up sometimes :)

It was a stressful day because of the weather, potential tornadoes in the area so I had to be ready to evacuate if things got worse. That meant I had to miss my support group meeting, which gave me a small case of the blues. I'll be fine, and I'll catch up with everyone there in 2 weeks, but for now I feel guilty and I genuinely miss seeing them. Otherwise I'm still working on planning the rest of my week, and exploring all the things in SL ;) I hope you're all having a nice day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

ACCESS Holiday Gifts

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we're headed to the ACCESS Event, where there are gifts under a couple of the trees in the front landing area and several at various displays inside. All of these are for the free VIP group, so give that a join and then click all the treats you can find :) I had a great time as always visiting, and there are some very tempting offers for sale so I've got a shopping list in mind too. No rest for the weary this week though, so I'll be back there soon as we have until the 8th of January to complete our shopping and gift finding.

I'm starting out with a pair of gifts that I think work beautifully together :) The Elune. Holly Top - ACCESS GIFT is a seasonal bare-shouldered top with long sleeves and tiny stars scattered about on the red fabric. It fits Legacy, Reborn, Juicy, and Waifu mesh bodies. The ::GB:: Leather Short Pants / Black gift from Gabriel is a great pairing for it or practically any top already in your wardrobe. This flattering pair of shorts is provided in Legacy and Lara X sizes, and is cut to show off our navel but cover most of our cheeks and all of the crack. In other words it's flirty yet relatively modest, especially by SL standards.

Next I slipped into the "Off-Line" x "Dreya" Set / Fatpack gift, and I adore it! The top and skirt are each included in sizing for BBL, Freya, Hourglass, Kupra, Kups, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh bodies, with a HUD that offers 28 colors for each while letting you adjust transparency and materials.

Another generous gift is this UNA. Brina RedBrown outfit, which is one piece with a layered look. There are sizes for Legacy and Maitreya mesh bodies, and I used the body's HUD to do a considerable amount of alpha-ing to ensure a proper looking fit. The dark red jacket is a festive look over the brown top, belt, and skirt that falls ever so slightly lower than the jacket in the rear. It looks a little shorter than the jacket from the front though which is interesting :)

Wowza! This stunningly sexy gift is our AURICA Selena Bodysuit GREEN. It has plunging V openings both front and back, created by zippers being lowered. We receive Legacy, Perky, Reborn, and Waifu mesh body sizes, as well as a HUD with 3 metals for that zipper. 

Do you need a fresh new manicure for the holidays? Then be sure to grab the MILOTA: Santi Gift that I'm enjoying here :) These super long mesh nails fit Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn hands, just hide your body's built in nails with its HUD and add the appropriate size to your outfit. They have two candy cane striped nails, then some solid white with either stars or adorable gingerbread cookies painted on. This is the type of SL manicure that I would be tempted to bring a photo of to a RL nail salon as inspo :)

It was a tiring day but I managed to get some rest after my appointment too, and my doctor and I agreed that I should try the medication that the DNA test indicated would be a good fit. She has had good results with other patients with the med we are trying and is completely on board with it, and has found this DNA test to be quite useful so I am relieved to have some scientific guidance here :) Tomorrow is my hair cut so another very different appointment, but also causing some havoc by being just a few hours before my usual Friday dinner plans with my parents. I also have appointments on Sunday and Monday, lol, so Saturday is going to be my day of rest. This is chaotic even if it weren't just a few days before a holiday, but sometimes we just have to take a few deep breaths and try our best to hang in. I hope you're all having a nice day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

ACCESS and Summer Carnival

 Hiya everyone! Tonight is a variety pack so to speak, as we revisit the ACCESS Event and then take a trip to the Malus Park Summer Carnival. ACCESS is celebrating their 6th birthday, and if you are a member of their free group you can click all the pretty teal giftboxes you can find at the many displays to claim a bounty of gifts :) As for the Summer Carnival, well you know Malus Park loves to bring joy with their sales events, and this is no exception. There are rides and a lemonade stand, free Pride items, and of course there are stands from many wonderful designers. They are offering exclusive items, discounted sales, and presents for $25L or less in brightly wrapped boxes. I was delighted to see the way everyone interpreted the theme, with some focused on summer and a few leaning into the carnival aspect :) Both of these events wrap up at the end of the month, so we have a little time left to explore them.

My first look of the evening is the AURICA Yuki Dress RED gift at ACCESS. The bare shouldered style is as eye-catching as the bold hue, and it is adorned with a butterfly pin that is beautifully detailed. We receive sizes for Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn mesh bodies, plus a HUD with 3 metal colors for the butterfly pin as well as on/off option. 

This sexy gift is the - wraith - Roxanne Suit - Access Special Edition, a strapless bodysuit with amazing cutouts. It fits Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Reborn, Juicy Boobs, and Juicy Rolls mesh bodies, all with that alluring shiny texture in an ombre of blue to black. The high cut legs lead to a thong style back view, so you look just as flirty from any angle.

Speaking of sex appeal, the [[ Masoom ]] Aqua Vixen Top is a sheer fishnet tube top in the ACCESS signature color that could be worn to reveal it all :) There are sizes for Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Reborn, and Mounds bodies, with a separate package included that holds BOM pasties which are modifiable so we can tint them if we wish. I'm wearing the Maitreya pair (several bodies are listed so I'm guessing nip placement varies) in the default white, and you can see the X of tape through the fishnet.

Over at the Summer Carnival, we can visit the Starlight Apparel display and choose their playful exclusive offer, .{SA}. Connie - Wrap Top with HUD, for just $150L. This sweet halter top comes in Freya, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Perky Petite, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn mesh body sizing, with a terrific HUD offering 20 solid colors and 10 palm tree prints. I do love versatility :) Aren't the palm trees just perfect for warm weather? Now I'm wearing this top with the Delizio jeans that I reach for so often (marketplace free gift, fatpack) but you can pair this with anything from shorts to your favorite skirt to simple leggings.

My final look of the evening also features a Summer Carnival exclusive or two, this time from backSTORY. They have several pairs of earrings available for $150L each, and they are all balloon animals! I just have to say that they are among the cutest earrings I've seen, and there are options for just about every taste. I'm wearing the Balloon Animal Earrings - Snail on the left side of the photo, with Balloon Animal Earrings - Monkey in the inset on the right. These and the other offers (crab, dog, horse, lion) each include a HUD with 12 textures each for the balloon portion and the hook, various colors and a fun tie dye pattern you can see on the monkey above :) I find RL balloon animals to be very intriguing, as it takes a lot of talent and practice to get them just right. These might remind you of sunny days or warm evenings at a local fair, or nowadays a carnival right here in SL.

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

Tres Chic Part Deux

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I've got more Tres Chic anniversary gifts to share, all of which can be yours for free if you join their free group :) There are dozens, over 80 total gifts I believe, so you are bound to find plenty that suit your personal tastes. I'm still unpacking, lol, but I am so grateful to every designer who helped make Tres Chic a success for these 9 wonderful years, and wish them many more years bringing unique offerings to SL.

My first look is the flirty [COCO LOUIS] Venus Dress - GIFT. This extra short mini dress is ever so slightly sheer and is really clinging to every curve :) It is provided in Classic, Classic Dainty, Curvy, Curvy Dainty, Lara X, Petite X, Legacy, Perky, and Reborn mesh body sizes. 

We can always count on AURICA for high quality, like this Milli Outfit NUDE gift. The dress and jacket each come in sizing for Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh bodies. In my case this really is a 'nude' color, as it is quite similar to the skin tone I'm wearing, and I love the idea of having a soft cardigan to slip over a tank dress to change the look.

Next I'm in the pink with the lovely KLEIN "Betty" Top/Skirt gift :) The cutouts on both pieces are so eye-catching, and remind me of flower petals with their long oval shape. There are Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Lara X, Petite X, Legacy, Perky, Reborn, Waifu, and Senra mesh body sizes for each, so top and skirt fit together just right. 

It does look like I have a color theme going, lol, but it was unintentional yet I am enjoying it! This stunning gift is the **BRILLANCIA** - dress Lea pink, with metallic coins linked together in a way that calls to mind chainmail but sexier. The dress and its sparkle layer (worn on the left) are each provided in sizes for eBody Reborn, Kupra, Kups, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite bodies. This dress is definitely not safe for G-rated areas, as you can probably tell, but we could layer some BOM lingerie beneath if so desired.

My final look of the night is a pairing of two gifts. The top is our HER - PATTY TOP - V14 treat, a sassily draped halter top in black with a satiny finish. It comes in Erika, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Reborn, and Waifu Boobs mesh body sizing. Its neutral colors makes it very versatile, and I really like the way it looks with the Rowne.Mamuor Panel Skirt - Red gift. This micro mini of a skirt will fit Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh bodies, and that brick red color is a flattering one :) When autumn rolls around again, I'll gladly wear it with a sweater and maybe some leggings or tights beneath, oo and some pretty boots! Separates like these get the creative juices flowing for sure.

Earlier I was convinced it was Wednesday, so it's another bizarre week in my brain I guess ;) My sense of timing is once again out of whack, but fortunately we nearly always have access to things like PCs, phones, and even the TV to tell us the time and date. My tower fan arrived, and it is not the same brand as my portable heater but the new fan's remote works the heater too...imagine my surprise when I turned on the fan and both turned on! They are next to each other, so the only solution was unplugging the heater for now. It's 78 degrees in here so nope, don't need added warmth. I will probably be home all day tomorrow too, so keeping it comfortable is a positive. I hope you're all having a lovely day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

The Fifty Anniversary

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I'm happy to invite you to The Fifty event, whose current round is their 2nd anniversary celebration. This means nearly every designer has a generous gift for all members of the FLF (Fifty Linden Fridays) group, which is free to join so these treats won't cost you a single red cent. There are so many discounted offers here, from fashion for guys and gals to accessories (jewelry, hair, skin, etc.) to home decor so we can redecorate our living space if we wish. Naturally I am focused on female fashions in this post, so please allow me to tempt you with a sampling of the many gifts :)

My first look is our ELEVEN - Luna Romper gift, which is a flirty style in a beautiful shade of lavender. It is provided in Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Reborn, and Waifu mesh body sizes, hugging every curve. It's held in place by the most delicate, slender straps in the back, which definitely caught my eye. 

AURICA brings some sunshine into our day with their Milli Outfit YELLOW gift! The vibrant hue immediately made me smile, and I love having the mini tank dress and open cardigan sweater each in sizes for eBody Reborn, Legacy, Perky, and Maitreya bodies. This way we have the choice to wear the dress alone or with the sweet jacket, although I'm thinking we wear both to our destination then slip off the jacket as one would do in RL with outerwear. 

Next I slipped into the lovely LEROY - Victoria Dress - Pattern 1 gift, feeling slightly Valentines themed but mostly just romantic :) There are Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Reborn sizes of this cutie, all with that sparkly red sash beneath the midriff opening. It matches the elongated red hearts so nicely, and red always pops on a white backdrop. 

There are several shirts that just begged to be shared, so I randomly picked out two for this photo :) The beauty on the left is our -Pixicat- Dara Top - DragonBlack gift, whose unpacker HUD lets us pick from Legacy, Perky, Lara X, Lara X Flat, Lara X Petite, Reborn, Juicy, or Waifu mesh body sizing. Just unpack the one you need and hang onto the HUD to access other sizes in the future if you wish. I'm also a huge fan of our No. 19 Apocalyptic // Chela Top gift on the right, a cropped short sleeve shirt in navy blue with cute bows on the sides and an image on the front that looks like a glass bubble holding an ecosystem inside. Almost like a terrarium, but encompassing more? It gave me a peaceful almost mystical feeling when viewing it :) This gift consists of sizes for Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh bodies. 

My final look of the evening is the charming Havoc. Vanilla Dress. Cranberry gift, from a store I am quite familiar with and grateful as always for their generosity. This uniquely crafted dress has one bare arm/shoulder and one long sleeve, with more intriguing asymmetry happening in the skirt that dips from one hip to the other ankle. We receive sizing for Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh bodies in this lovely color. I must admit, the combo of vanilla from the dress name and cranberry from the hue sounds like a delicious hot tea flavor!

It was a quiet day, and do we remember when I mentioned a few weeks ago that I'd start taking an extra day off from blogging each week for my mental health, then didn't do so? 😕 Well because of a podiatrist appointment tomorrow that has me freaking out (just for the ride itself), I am taking tomorrow evening off from blogging. I'll be heavily medicated to handle the car trip, and will probably need some extra sleep after, so no time to prep the photos and notes for a blog post anyway. Just think, it'll be almost March when I return :) I know I will be safe in the long run, it's just a bit of a struggle these days to stay calm when thinking about going anywhere in a car. This doctor mentioned that his mom also suffers from agoraphobia so he is quite sympathetic, and that is reassuring to me. Meanwhile I hope you're all having a peaceful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

FaMESHed X Event

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we have a very special anniversary to help celebrate, that of the FaMESHed X event. Please note this is not the traditional FaMESHed we know and love, but their "X" offshoot which could stand for x-rated :) This is the adult version, with the offerings ranging from mild to wowie wild, LOL, so please keep that in mind if you visit. I did see a few exposed male members among the vendor images, and bondage equipment was around a few corners if I recall correctly. That said, the free gifts also run the gamut and the ones I've chosen for this post are all much closer to the mild end of the scale. There are black boxes with teal ribbon at many of the displays, just give those boxes a click (no group tag needed!) and you too can claim the many generous treats for all visitors. The wildest gift I picked up but chose not to share was nipple piercings with a cock dangling from the ring, if that gives you an idea :) I do not kink-shame and I am an advocate of healthy expression between consenting adults, so please don't take my choices of what to share and what not to share as anything other than maintaining the general PG-13 rating (?) of the blog overall. The piercings I mentioned were very well crafted and I only omitted them because by the time I blurred my nipple, I'd have obscured half the jewelry itself which would feel disrespectful of the creator's hard work. This anniversary round is open until the 10th of November, so there is a bit of time left to explore.

My first look of the evening is our AURICA Milli Outfit CARAMEL gift, which pairs a mini tank dress with an open cardigan sweater in the same rich color. Both pieces fit eBody Reborn, Legacy, Perky, and Maitreya mesh bodies. As you can see on the right, the dress looks just as lovely without the sweater, but we have reached those chilly autumn evenings that make it so fun to have the option to layer things up :)

I do love the color purple, so naturally was immediately drawn to the Ash. -Uma Suit VIOLET gift! This treat is separate tops and bottoms in sizes for Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Reborn, and Reborn Mounds mesh bodies. We also receive a HUD with 20 fun and glowy colors for the trim, which colors both pieces at once. Is my feeling like it looks futuristic because of the style, or just the glow of the trim?

Next we stop by the Have Unequal display, where we can find their charming [HU] Guida Outfit_Beige gift seen here. This is a single piece dress and panty in sizing for eBody Reborn, Legacy, Maitreya, and Petite mesh bodies, and wait until you see the wonderful HUD! It offers 22 textures (solids, stripes, patterns) for the top, corset, and stripes (trim) plus a hide/show option for each, and 6 metals for lots of customization possibilities. A couple of the patterns could be considered Halloween themed, but the solid colors and stripes are certainly suitable for any time of year, so no I'm not trying to extend that holiday ;)

The [ LSR ] Sexy Ana Suit Regular 7 gift is absolutely a head-turner of an outfit in three fun pieces. The tube top, bolero jacket, and itty bitty shorts each come in Belleza Classic, Belleza Curvy, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh body sizes. The jacket mostly provides long sleeves and covers a small swath across the back shoulders, and the sexy shorts are cut into a cheeky thong while being tied loosely in place on each hip. 

My final look of the evening is probably the most revealing of the post, which I think shows I was able to keep things reasonably appropriate here :) This beauty is the (*<*) 1313 Jacqueline Bra & Panties - Sienna gift from 1313 Mockingbird Lane, and bonus points to anyone who gets the store name's reference. *hums the Munsters theme song* Our bra and panties are each provided in opaque, sheer, and bare versions, each in Maitreya sizes with Petite versions for the bra as well. I am wearing the opaque on the left with sheer on the right, and the bare simply has no fabric at all where it went sheer on the right there. There is a HUD for the bra with 8 colors apiece for the lil bows and the hearts inside those bows, so you can add touches of color or keep it all this dark dramatic hue. 

Today was fairly busy here, so I'm glad to be here at my computer doing things I enjoy like sharing these free goodies with all of you :) It was chilly while I walked outside for part of my therapy session, and I was glad I put on a jacket. The session went well, and tomorrow is my usual dinner with the parents which I'm also looking forward to. I hope you're all having a fantastic day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

The Warehouse Sale

 Hiya everyone! Tonight it's time to check out another exciting celebration of an event's anniversary, this time The Warehouse Sale. This post apocalyptic themed region and sales event brings a wide range of clothing, accessories, and home decor for guys and gals, so if this feels like your SL vibe then come on down! For their 3rd anniversary, most of the designers have a free gift in a crate in front of their display (well more like between the booths) that we can claim with their free group tag. It's open until the 18th of September, so you have plenty of opportunity to visit, pick up demos, claim those gifts, and do your final shopping :)

My first look is a combo of two generous gifts, among many that you can combine however you wish :) The top is our REKT_Cropped Top TWS Anniversary gift, a t-shirt layered over fishnet for a playful mood. The front does say "3rd Anniversary" but it's small and partly in my cleavage LOL, so you'll have to take my word for it...actually 3th, not 3rd. We receive eBody Reborn, Legacy, and Perky sizes in this gift. Then we pan down to the **Honey*Soul**Leggins_Mya which is a generous fatpack of solid colored leggings in 12 great colors. They are system/BOM layers so as long as your mesh body is compatible, they got ya covered! So versatile, I can think of lots of things I have blogged recently that would go delightfully with at least one color of these terrific pants.

This charming set is the AURICA Milli Outfit NUDE, whose jacket and dress each fit eBody Reborn, Legacy, Perky, and Maitreya mesh bodies. They have that cute curled lettuce edging, and the neckline really frames our cleavage :) Silly story, I'd switched to the Legacy body today and am still getting used to it...so I needed to use its HUD to hide a couple prominent body parts (the nipples, LOL, they were poking through) and from lag and inexperience I somehow managed to accidentally apply a neck blender color that was painfully obvious and I couldn't find how to get rid of it >.<  Yikes! There was what I thought was an eraser icon at the bottom but it didn't work, so I wound up having to reset the body to the default settings. I'm sure I missed something obvious and simple, or the HUD was just being quirky, but that was my brain fart moment of the day ;)

I decided I needed something tasty, so please allow me to tempt you with the :[P]:-Berry Cupcakes gift from Petrichor. You can choose from raspberry or strawberry each in left and right versions, or a rez version for each to use as decor. There is also a napkin and fork set to place nearby the decor cupcakes, if you have guests and are feeling extra fancy :) Clearly I didn't bother with a fork here, because how would I even hold one when I'm double fisting the sugary treats?

Next it was time to show off another duo of gifts, starting with the Bipolar - Butterfly Top - Fatpack. There are sizes for Kupra, Kups, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Reborn bodies included, with a HUD that offers 20 textures for the top and 6 colors for the 3D butterflies that have landed on it :) There are some patterns and some solid hues for the cropped top, so click those buttons and have some fun! The #KLUBB - "Valentina" Booty Shorts [Razor Blade] gift matches the flirtatious feeling, being skintight and dipping below the navel but still cut relatively modestly. They fit Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh bodies with ease. 

My final look of the evening had me humming "Putting on the Ritz" but with a slight lyrical substitute ;) It's our [Glitzz] Cibelle Dress - Gift Black, and what a sexy treat this is! It is so elegant with those cute little bows and lace, and the garter straps in the front adding some sizzle. The gift includes Freya, Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn mesh body sizing. Putting on the Glitzz indeed! 

I feel like my day might best be described with the Kermit flailing gif, LOL, not that it was bad but very busy. Tomorrow will be just as busy, as well as Friday, so I might as well get used to it. The family doctor phone follow-up went pretty well, and we are adjusting some doses of meds again to try to find the sweet spot :) I hope you're all having a nice day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Group Gifts from AURICA

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we are visiting the AURICA store, a fairly recent discovery of mine where I was impressed with their general style of modern, flattering fashions. Their group is free to join and there are several gifts by the main entrance, so I decided to share some of those to give you a budget-friendly idea of what you can find here :) It can be so exciting to visit a store for the first time, and many times that experience is what makes you want to return often in the future. There are other stores in this shopping center so you might want to check those out too if you have a little while to spare.

My first look tonight is the #AURICA Vera Dress Group Gift, a long sleeved knit dress with high neckline and extra short skirt. It also has a built-in harness for an edgy look to turn heads. Our gift includes Legacy, Perky, and Maitreya sizes, with a HUD to choose from 5 dress colors. I chose a couple of the bolder shades, but neutral white and black are among our options too.

Next we see the AURICA Karina Dress FATPACK gift, with another fun harness but this time it creates a choker style neck piece. The dress comes in sizes for Kupra, Legacy, Perky, and Maitreya bodies, and the provided HUD lets us choose from 12 dress colors, 3 for the harness, and 3 for the metal. The purple with a teal shimmer to it reminded me of a favorite nail polish, and red with black was a timeless classic choice to show off :) Did you notice the way the skirt is slightly lifted on the back left side? Cheeky!

If you are in the mood for an outfit that has a modest length midi skirt with tank top to show off your arms, this #AURICA Nova Outfit GG could be calling your name :) It is one piece with the look of two, in sizes for Legacy, Perky, and Maitreya mesh bodies. You can probably also tell there is a HUD involved, and that allows you to choose from 4 colors for the top and 3 shades of gray (no, not 50 lol) for the skirt. The smooth styling means that you can keep the look simple with sleek accessories or jazz things up with chunky earrings or necklace, it's all up to you. 

This gift, called AURICA Arina Top FATPACK, has a very bold style thanks to the shine (latex?) and shapely styling of the bust. It fits Legacy, Perky, and Maitreya mesh bodies, with a HUD to select from 8 colors and 6 words emblazoned across the front. I chose "I LOVE YOU" on the left and "ANTISOCIAL" on the right, but recall "I hate you" and "Baby Girl" as two of the others so there is a mix of soft and edgy. One was not English, I want to say Korean characters but I apologize if I am incorrect on that. Speaking only one language is sometimes a challenge in SL. 

My final look of the evening is another beautiful top, this one being their AURICA Marti Top FATPACK group gift. The ribbed knit texture is lovely, and the appearance of a very cropped sweater atop a corset makes me think of spring. There are Legacy, Perky, and Maitreya sizes included, with a HUD to pick from 6 colors for the top, 6 for the laces in front, and 3 metals for the grommets or eyelets the laces are woven through. I kept it all yellow on the left, but went with the pale blue to go with the gorgeous lavender on the right for a little variety. In this photo and the last, I paired the tops with the black pair from my favorite marketplace freebie, a fatpack of jeans from Delizio. There are 9 denim colors in system/BOM layers as well as appliers for Maitreya and Omega.

I double checked the script for my blood tests and they say I don't need to fast, so tomorrow's poking should be easy peasy compared to the stress of having to fast ;) Not that I enjoy needles or anything, but the phlebotomist at the lab I go to is excellent and I trust her to make it as painless as possible. She's been drawing my blood for at least a decade now, so that builds trust. Oh well, that's my exciting Thursday plans LOL, then Friday should be dinner with the parents which is usually nice. I hope you're all having a good day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
