Shop and Hop Hollyhock

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I've got some more Valentine Shop & Hop gifts to show you, this time from the Hollyhock region which is one of 14 beautifully decorated areas packed with talented designers. All are offering discounted items and even gifts for all visitors, so it is very worth exploring this wonderful event. That's no surprise though, each round of Shop & Hop is always a fantastic source of treats and bargains :) This particular round is open until the 19th of the month, so we do have about a week and half left to visit.

For my first look of the evening, I slipped into the seductive Blackstone - Tricia Dress - Fatpack gift. It has a daring V neckline and brief hem, and comes in sizes for Kupra, Legacy, Lara X, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh bodies. We also receive a HUD with 10 dress colors (black, white, various hues of pink and red) and 6 metals for the zipper in the back. Its colors are suitable for, but certainly not limited to, the Valentine season :)

Another gift I'm very grateful for is from [Witch In A Box], their sexy Butterfly Dress Gift. I always look forward to seeing what they have to offer, and this round the gift is a strapless corset style dress with the sides slit all the way up ;) It includes Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Reborn, Juicy Boobs, and Mounds mesh body sizing. The design on the front is intriguing, as usually if I said something has an image of a butterfly and flowers you would probably think of a much more girlie or cute type vibe, yet this is an accurate simplified description of this beauty. 

ANNA has two gifts for us that combine into one wonderful outfit :) The Jasmin Blouse and Jasmin Skirt are each packed separately in sizes for Gen X Classic, Legacy, Maitreya Lara X, and Reborn mesh bodies. The skirt is barely a wisp of soft satin, while the blouse has a unique style with one long sleeve beneath a bare shoulder and a wide strap for the other side. I always appreciate when separates can be worn individually too, so we get even more versatility. 

I kept the Anna-Jasmin- Skirt on to show another top, our gift from Everfaery called Breeze Top: Black Hearts. The fluttery style caught my eye, and the single strap makes for another flirty design. The hearts scattered about are a nod to the season, but my internal calendar says hearts are always in season! ♥ There are Legacy, Maitreya, Petite, Reborn, and Senra Jamie mesh body sizes provided in our gift.

My final look of the night is a hot pink lingerie set, our AURORA Paulin Hearts Gift. The top, panties, and garters (both legs together) are each separates in sizing for eBody Reborn, Erika, Freya, Hourglass, Kupra, Kupra Bimbo, Legacy, Perky, Perky Petite, Maitreya, Maitreya Flat, and Peach mesh bodies. The bra has a fun clasp in the front and a T strap in the back, with similar clasps on both sides of the panties and the garters. The teeny white hearts are just the right touch, romantic added to sex appeal.

I wound up staying home today, and then watching hockey in the evening, so it wasn't a bad day even if it didn't go the way I'd expected. That seems to be par for the course lately ;) I have a few different things to share in my next few posts, so I am excited about that, although I am going to confuse myself with all the body switching at this rate. I hope you're all having a lovely day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

More #BIGGIRL Treats

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we are taking a look at more of the treats from the Trick or Treat featured in this round of the #BIGGIRL event. With the Flair For Events group tag active (free to join) you just click every pumpkin you see at all of the designers' displays, and you will either receive a trick of an empty box (labeled trick) or a treat of a free gift from that designer. The event caters to curvy women, and I would say it accentuates the natural sex appeal of full figures with formfitting or revealing fashions. Intrigued? Come on over and see what tickles your fancy!

I was still sifting through the separates, specifically the tops, when coming up with this first look that shows off two of them :) On the left above I am wearing the [WellMade] Skully Blouse GIFT, which includes Freya, Isis, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and Reborn mesh body sizes. The pattern of skulls on a bed of roses is fun for the season, and the wide band picks up the darkest shade in the pattern and draws the eye. Then we have the teeny tube top on the right, :: Saussi :: Top Caity Black. This sexy treat is provided in sizes for Erika, Freya, Kupra, Kupra Squeezed, Legacy, Maitreya, Reborn, and Reborn Juicy bodies/mods, with a HUD that lets us choose from two textures. One is the flames seen above, while the other is solid shimmering black. 

I kept my black Delizio jeans on and checked out our treat from Gaia here, called the spook returns top. There are 3 colors packed separately inside - pumpkin seen on the left and white on the right, plus black - which each fit eBody Reborn, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite bodies. The red stain is only on the front, so it's either an entry wound with no exit wound, or I was a perpetrator rather than a victim ;) 

AURORA will have you feeling spooky-sexy with their generous Paulin Halloween Gift. Its top and panties are each provided in eBody Reborn, Erika, Freya, Hourglass, Kupra, Kupra Bimbo, Legacy, Perky Petite, Maitreya, Maitreya Flat, and Peach Body sizes. The straps caught my attention with the clever cleavage clasp, and the pattern of pumpkins and bones is perfect for Halloween. 

Wow, the gift from Virtual Diva is sure to turn heads for its vivid color and spicy styling! It is called Kira PINK, and it has a daring opening in the front all the way past the navel, held together with a few buckled straps. There are Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, and Maitreya mesh body sizes included, and I'm sure you can imagine how sexy it will look on each of those :) If the flash of nipples is too much for wherever you're headed, I'd suggest layering a bra or pasties beneath it, either to match your skintone or black to match the trim.

My final look of the evening is a seductive one too, thanks to *Flamingos* and their SinDress - Red gift. The sheer dress has panties built in and bows decorating it, in sizes for eBody, Kupra, Legacy, and Maitreya bodies. There is also a HUD provided with 10 colors each for the ribbons and panties, plus we can hide the panties by clicking the X to the left of the color choices. On the right I selected blue in an effort to create a purple effect for the panties peeking through the translucent red, just playing with color as I do enjoy doing :)

It was a pleasant weekend here, and I am really looking forward to my chiropractic visit on Tuesday to get this neck feeling less achy. The farmers market was fun as usual, and I got lots of delicious food that I will be enjoying throughout the week. I hope you all had a beautiful weekend and are having a nice day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Redeux Part Deux

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I would like to invite you again to the Redeux 4th anniversary celebration, where the designers are offering group gifts for the event's group which is free to join. I am always so happy for any event or store that reaches a milestone like this, since I can only imagine all the hard work and planning that goes into them. We get to benefit by having a chance to purchase some really amazing items, and now free treats to boot :) The weekend might make it a little more crowded there, but it is only open until the 21st so I hope you get to stop by very soon.

My first look is the fun Luas Dara Top Grey, a flirty short sleeved blouse in sizes for Freya, Hourglass, Legacy, Legacy Perky, Maitreya, and Maitreya Petite mesh bodies. I love the way the front is tied gently in place, so the neckline hugs the cleavage. As I did yesterday, when I needed a 'bottom' to wear with a top I reached for the Delizio marketplace gift that appears here fairly often. Who can resist several colors of jeans in system/BOM layers plus appliers for Maitreya and Omega, all for free?

Another alluring gift is the Adriana bikini - White by AURORA. This seductive two piece comes in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizing, with a HUD that offers 12 colors each in 4 different wording options for the straps. Those are Bad Girl, Dirty Princess (left above), Daddy's Girl, and Queen (right) with crowns between the words. Which one suits your mood?

This gift has appeal for those learning to be designers as well as anyone who just enjoys wearing cute casual dresses. It is the FLECHA Riana Fitted Dress Fullperm, and each size (eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique) includes Green, Red, and Black (not shown) versions as well as the blank slate on which you can add a texture or color of your choice. There are also notecards and maps tucked inside to guide you with customizing it.

My final look this evening is the Gabrielle Fat Pack from AtaMe, a pairing of bra and high waisted pants with boots attached. Each is provided in sizes for Freya, Hourglass, and Maitreya mesh bodies, with a HUD that offers 4 floral patterns and the ability to turn brightness off or on. The flowers are ideal for spring, and it makes things so much easier to not have to find a separate pair of matching shoes for your outfit :) This is also a flirty alternative for those who find themselves almost always wearing skirts, since variety is the spice of (second) life. 

Happy Weekend! It was certainly a strange week here, but I am doing okay and glad that the weekend is finally here. I will be going to my usual farmers market tomorrow morning, then watching a hockey game in the early afternoon, but no major plans for Sunday. I am taking tomorrow evening off from blogging, but I'll be back Sunday night with some more Free Dove hunt prizes since I interrupted those for the event with the sooner ending time. I hope you all have something nice planned this weekend, whether that means going out or staying home and relaxing. Many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

More eBENTO Gifts

Hiya everyone! Tonight I have a few more gifts from the eBENTO 3rd anniversary celebration to show you. They are tucked inside beautifully decorated 3-tier cakes at each display at the event, just click them with the free group tag active and you will receive a generous gift. These event anniversaries are fantastic, aren't they? The participating designers get to share their creations with more people than usual in many cases, as these events do draw considerable foot traffic, and get to spotlight their talents while also rewarding visitors with free goodies. I believe this round lasts until the end of the month, so I am glad to have time to try on the demos I picked up and return for some retail therapy :)

This fun and casual outfit is the gift from PARAGON called Female Dance Outfit, and is branded with their dance animation logo. The top comes in standard mesh sizes plus Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Legacy Perky, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine versions, while the shorts are provided in sizes for Alice, Altamura, Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Legacy Perky, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP mesh bodies. You probably noticed my necklace too, that delightful gift is the [eVe] - Deathly Hallows. It includes blue, gold, rose, and silver versions with the Harry Potter symbol (triangle for the invisibility cloak, vertical line for the elder wand, and circle for resurrection stone) as the pendant to please any Harry Potter fan like myself :) 

I kept those dance shorts on and shimmied into the gift from **ArisArisB&W called CoAl73~Sweet Top~Gift. This sheer cropped tank comes in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Star Mesh Body, Signature Alice, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh bodies. There is also a HUD that lets you choose between black and white, both of which are daringly transparent between the lace. I almost censored this photo, but it was close enough to borderline that I decided to free the 2 or 3 pixels of visible nipple rather than hide the lovely lace.

Wow, this AURORA gift called Barbara set Red is sizzling hot! It appears to be 2 pieces at first glance, but the top you see is actually a bra and choker which are separate and the choker is comprised of the bands around the neck and beneath the bra, connected with the slender strap down the center. The bra, choker, and skirt each come in Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizing. That left leg slit is quite daring, all the way up to the waistline, and I love the scalloped edges throughout this look.

I combined two gifts here to show you both at once, and was pleased with the total look :) The bikini is the Glitter Gillian Fitmesh Bikini Indigo, whose top and bottom are each included in Freya, Isis, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine sizing. The sheer fabric really highlights the lace texture, and the bright coloring. As for the gorgeous tattoo, it is the gift from KIRA TATTOO named NASLI, and features a tiger (or striped cat?) admiring a butterfly above some cherry blossom branches. There are two smaller butterflies hiding beneath my bikini top, one centered between the breasts and the other atop my right breast that is barely visible at the neckline. The tattoo HUD has 100% (shown), 75%, and 50% choices so you can decide how fresh or faded you wish it to appear, each for Belleza, Maitreya, Omega, Slink, Signature, and Legacy mesh bodies. I almost forgot that for the Maitreya's BOM upgraded body, you have to add the tattoo layer from the folder before you use the applier...just a reminder so you don't wind up trying to apply it and wonder why it's not working, like I did! LOL you can learn from my mistake.

My final look of the evening is a looong luxurious set of nails from SlackGirl called ::SG:: Carezza Bento Mesh Nails. These ballerina shaped nails come in sizes for Belleza, Eve, Altamura, Maitreya, Tonic, Tuty, and Vista mesh hands, and you just need to use the HUD for your hands to hide the built in nails then "add" the corresponding set of these nails. There is a HUD with 8 design choices, all with lighter tips and fairly neutral colors. Please excuse that my right thumbnail is piercing my lip there, it's just my pose ;) Since the color HUD does all 10 nails at once, I took two photos and merged them to show you these two different options, as I tend to do for variety's sake. 

Whew, what a day! All my plans got turned upside down, mostly because of my overly sensitive stomach reacting poorly to the 40 degree change in the weather the past few days. I did not go to my parents' for dinner as I usually do, and I might have someone else handle my farmers market pickup for me tomorrow so I don't have to leave the house and feel ill in the car. That will probably be decided at the last minute, so I can see how I feel. Meanwhile I think I need to take a day off from my blogging, just take tomorrow night to relax and unwind. Don't worry, I will be back on Sunday evening with more affordable goodies for you :) I hope you all have a safe and enjoyable weekend ahead, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
