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!!

Hiya everyone! Tonight we visit the On9 event, as they celebrate their birthday by giving us presents. There are boxes at nearly every display with gifts inside, no group tag needed. Just give them each a click and you'll be showered in treats :) There are so many tempting offers for sale this round, so I hope you enjoy window shopping and grabbing some demos while you pick up these gifts.
First we have the generous gift from CM Belle Mode called Bailee Blue Crossed Dress & Shoes, a perfectly coordinated set for which I am very appreciative. The dress is provided in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique, while our strappy heels come in Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink High versions. A few items are no-copy, so be sure to rez this on the ground and open it to get all the components.
My next look is a multi-faceted gift from ***ArisArisB&W called Alus13 Free Soul Dress. It comes in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP, with a HUD that lets you choose from 6 pretty textures. 4 of those textures are daringly sheer, like the one on the right above, so choose wisely ;)
I.M. Collection has a fun gift waiting for us, called Orange Dots Gone Wild Top and Skirt. They are coordinated so well that they look like a single piece dress, despite being separates, each in sizes for Freya, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine. Such a flattering outfit!
Two gifts can be seen here, starting with the dress from sass which is simply named on9 birthday gift. It comes in sizes for Freya, Maitreya, and Hourglass mesh bodies. I love that sweet bow on the back, which (along with the short skirt) made it an ideal choice to pair with the gift from KIRA TATTOO. That would be the SEXY GIRL ink on my right thigh, a garter belt with bows on front and back. Even the pink rose in the center of the bows mean that it matches the dress really well :) This gift includes system layers plus appliers for Belleza, Maitreya, Omega, Slink, and Signature bodies, all with 50%, 75%, and 100% opacity options. This way you can decide if you want your tattoo to look brand new or slightly faded or even a touch more light, although I chose 100% so it would be as visible as possible for the photos.
My final look this evening is a closeup of the nails I have been appreciating tonight, a gift from .::LUNA::. Body Art named PG - Nails. There are applier HUDs for Belleza, Maitreya, Slink, and Vista Bento mesh hands, with 10 playful designs on each. The colors are subtle, but that seems to make the artwork pop even more. These make terrific neutrals to wear with just about any outfit you wish.
I just got overemotional reading about people reminiscing about where they were and how they were affected 18 years ago by the 9/11 terrorist attacks, sometimes being empathetic is quite a curse. Fortunately I did not lose anyone that day, but it fills me with sadness whenever I hear of such a tragedy anywhere. My dad used to travel a lot for work, but no longer flew very often by then, which was a blessing in disguise. I hope you're all having a peaceful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Hiya everyone! Tonight I would like to tell you about another free gridwide hunt currently taking place, the SLFO Hunt which is organized by the SL Frees & Offers group. They have such an impressive list of designers taking part, and each has an orange autumn leaf hiding in their store for us to find. The hints and landmarks are on their website, which I've found to be slightly more accurate than the landmarks inside the prize folders, so if you get lost be sure to peek at the site to make sure you're still on the path correctly. The prizes are fantastic, as you'll see for yourself if you find them all by the 25th of November when the hunt wraps up.
Our first stop is Entice, where you can claim their Shine On Top & Skirt - Blue. Each piece comes in sizes for Freya, Hourglass, and Maitreya, and this is an original mesh creation by Entice so you won't see it anywhere else. The color of the fleur-de-lis pattern on the skirt is a perfect match for the bare shouldered top, so pretty!
This is such a cute layered outfit for a chilly day, and it's our prize from Giz Seorn. It is included in sizes for Freya, Isis, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique, with a simple dress beneath a plaid jacket and a hoodie. I'm not finished this hunt path, so you just might run into me wearing this exact outfit while I find more leaves.
**ArisArisB&W is offering this flirty Alus05 Rush Jumpsuit as their free prize, in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique. There is also a HUD included with 4 texture choices, two of which can be seen above. The plunging neckline looks great with all of the texture possibilities.
Next we have the female prize from [JUSTICE] called ELISA DRESS, which is one of two you can find inside their leaf (the other is a male prize). It comes in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique. There is a very useful HUD that offers 42 colors for the strings lacing the sides together, 42 for the panties beneath, and 6 metal options. Thanks to the HUD, this is a very sexy look with a generous side of versatility.
For my final look of the evening, I am enjoying the prize from [WellMade] called Davina Outfit. It is a single mesh piece with the appearance of a separate top and skirt, in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique. The included HUD offers both skirt colors seen above, both bold and playful choices.
I hope you're all having a glorious day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Hiya everyone! Tonight I have some Saturday Sale offers from Entice to show you, but don't worry that Saturday is already over...this sale lasts until the 21st so you still have several days to take advantage of these amazing offers. I also stopped by the On9 Event, where just about every vendor is offering a free gift for all visitors, no group needed. There are gift wrapped boxes all around the event, just give them a click and you will be given a folder with the gift inside. The event lasts until the end of the month, so it's okay if you're having too busy of a weekend to drop everything and head there right now :)
The first irresistible part of the Saturday Sale offers at Entice is their One More Light outfit in Bronze, an ideal color for the upcoming autumn season. It is included in Freya, Maitreya, and Hourglass versions, and is only $75L this week, reduced from $300L. The sweater texture is delightful, and I love that flirty dip in the back.
If you crave other colors and more options for this outfit, you are in luck! During this round of the Saturday Sale you can also pick up 8 more colors for half price, $150L each, or splurge on the entire fatpack for $450L instead of the full price of $599L. The fatpack has 2 additional exclusive bonus colors for a total of 10 via HUD, and that HUD also allows you to change the sweater, sweater trim, and skirt separately for tons of choices. On the right above you can see the black trim on the lovely teal sweater and skirt, but I went with all the same color selection on the left. Don't miss this offer!
Time to visit On9 and see what treats we can find there :) This is our gift from ArisAris called Alus04 Surprise Dress, and it includes a HUD with 4 texture options. It comes in sizes for eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine.
Sukitita Store has this flirty outfit called Suki Maggie - black in their gift box for all of us. The top and pants, each adorned with red roses, come in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizes. The top is sheer, but the roses are placed just right to provide appropriate coverage.
My final look of the evening is the gift from {AnaMarkova} called Jacqueline Poison, and it is provided in standard mesh sizes along with Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink versions. The style has almost businesslike details with the collar, cuffed sleeves, and buttons, yet it has an edgy texture and a low cut neckline. Let your imagination run wild to decide where you will enjoy your free gift!
Hair note of the night: this is another wonderful VIP group gift from Truth Hair, this time called Reyane. She comes with all the usual fatpack color HUDs of all their gifts, and has a stylist HUD with different bangs options and the ability to wear each side to the front or behind each shoulder. The group is $350L to join, but with monthly gifts and occasional sales and special offers, it is well worth the one time fee.
It was an enjoyable day here, so I am feeling cheerful and positive. I hope you are all having a terrific weekend, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
