Gifts From Avatar Fair

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I'm inviting you back to the Avatar Fair event, a relatively new event that opened a new round on Thursday. I am not clear on the dates so I'm going to suggest that you go promptly if you like what you see :) There is a free Avatar Fair group we can join, that lets us claim tons of goodies at just about every booth as well as the central area where my landmark should place you. They have gift cards on the wall too, so you can even select your own reward for visiting. Most of the participating stores are right there on the same sim/region (Linden Lab preferred terminology is region, I spent well over a decade calling them a sim, so sometimes I slip up) with names you may already recognize like Ewa Boutique and Sugar Dolls. I blogged some gifts from the prior round a few weeks back, and many of the gifts are the same but I was careful to make sure I am showing you gifts that I didn't last time :) Some of the brands seem to be connected, and there were gifts from one brand at another's display, so it is nice to see designers working together so well.


My first look of the evening is from Mademoiselle, called *BM* SET 102. The top, leggings, and belt are each provided in Freya, Isis, Hourglass, Legacy, and Maitreya sizing, with two useful HUDs. The top's HUD has 11 colors, and the pants HUD has 21 choices for the pants, 22 for the belt, and 6 metals for the buckle. That's an impressive variety! I am a big fan of the detached sleeve look, and these have such pretty lace flaring out from just below the elbow. 


Going somewhere outdoors on a late summer day? I'd love to suggest the {CH} MONDE outfit, a gift from the Charlotte store :) It includes those sunglasses I'm wearing here, as well as the top, skirt, and shoes which will each fit Freya, Isis, Hourglass, Legacy, Maitreya, and Petite bodies. There's even a BOM layer pair of black panties, so if you bend over or someone gets a little camera happy, you're covered ;) We do have a HUD too, with 24 textures for the top and 11 colors for our skirt. The shoes stay that terrific cherry red, and I enjoy that pop of bright color for our feet.


Next I am smirking at the thoughts of what a naughty weekend this gift could lead to...it is the 69 sSixty 9--Perola Set, a brand that is new to me so I'm excited to get to know them. The gift includes a top, skirt, and panty that each come in sizing for eBody Reborn, Mounds, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite mesh bodies, along with (you guessed it!) a HUD that has 10 colors for each piece. Let the mixing and matching begin!


The [SweetP] GIFT Avatar 1 treat from Sweet Problem is such a captivating lingerie set, both flirty and feminine. It is worn as one piece with the appearance of two, corset and panty, and it comes in Erika, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh body sizes. The bright pink really caught my eye, but I can say the same for the intricate lace and the scalloped ruffles on the panties. 


Finishing this evening, we have a great dress for autumn that looks like a sweater tucked gently into a snug miniskirt. It's our LS - CLOVER gift from Lee Sorin, and will beautifully fit Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh bodies. The provided HUD offers 15 textures, some of which have those great polka dots you see on the left above while others show off the contrast between the knit top and the smooth skirt. Now that September is here, this cozy style is about to come in very handy :)

My day was busy but decent, despite a very strange dream involving time travel, and no I didn't eat something weird before bed ;) I visited my parents for dinner, but didn't actually eat until I got home so it was a late meal for me but still enjoyable. Heavy topics at the dinner table tonight from local news, then a trip down memory lane had my mom pulling out her high school yearbooks from the 60s. Her school closed in the early 80s and several of the teachers wound up at the high school I eventually went to, so we had a few in common which is wild considering we graduated 22 years apart. My annoying long weekend begins around noon, as the housemate's jerk houseguest arrives then, and I'm going to spend as much time as possible hiding. Their plans involve sports, beer, junk food, and noise, LOL, so I'm not missing much. I hope you all have a terrific weekend ahead, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Avatar Fair Event

 Hiya everyone! Tonight's post features several gifts from the Avatar Fair sales event, which is new to me so I am not familiar yet with the details but it seems to be a weekly occurrence. That means the timeframe is somewhat brief, so the sooner you visit the better :) There are some designers there I was already acquainted with but a few who are new to me, and most seem to make their home at the shopping center where the event is located. Ewa Boutique and Sugar Dolls are two of the many you may already know, just a taste of the many talented designers who have sales offers and a gift or two for visitors who join the Avatar Fair group (free to join). There are even several gift cards as group gifts on the center wall near a bench, very close to where my link should land you :) That way you can explore the region and use those cards to select your own additional treats. I switched to my Legacy body, as I'd noticed that these designers tend to support that brand and a few other newer ones.


Aloha is the store we can thank for my first look of the evening, a bikini simply called 119. There are Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite sizes each for the top and panties, along with a HUD that offers 20 textures for each. They are a mix of solids and patterns, always a pleasure to mix and match so our bikini game is on point :) The bottoms are a sexy thong cut, balancing out the relatively modest top with its wide straps and nicely shaped cups. Would I wear this bikini top with a skirt or jeans too? You betcha!


When you hear "little black dress", you might envision something simple and let's face it, almost boring...I promise that is not even remotely the case with our BB - 352 BLACK gift from Blackbarry! The long lacy sleeves are a playful contrast to the daringly short hem and the plunging neckline that dips low enough to show off our navel. We receive sizes for Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh bodies to accommodate many popular brands.


I also found a lovely gift at the Wild Girls Store display, their W.G - Lorena Set. This sexy dress fits Legacy, Perky, Pushup, Maitreya, Petite, Reborn, and Juicy mesh bodies. There's also a HUD included as you can tell, with 10 colors each for the main dress and the straps, with 4 metal choices for lots of possibilities. I was disappointed in myself for not noticing the heart shaped opening on the midriff immediately, LOL, as I usually spot hearts instantly. I will blame the many terrific details for distracting me ;)


Be sure to grab the CUTE FOR YOU - 104 gift while you're here, for another wonderfully versatile outfit. The dress comes in sizes for Kalhene, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Reborn bodies, with the fuzzy jacket in 2 sizes that are just marked 1 and 2. We also receive a HUD to choose from 20 solid colors and 20 patterns for the dress, and 20 solid hues for the jacket. I really wanted to show you the back of the dress without hiding it beneath the jacket too though, and if it is warm you may want to slip out of it when you reach your destination anyway :) 


My final look of the evening is our Sugar Dolls gift called {SD} MEGAN, a flirty outfit with bare shoulders and skintight jeans that are opened daringly in the front. Our top and jeans both fit Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite mesh bodies, and I'm pondering how a sweetheart neckline is even more romantic when the hem of the cropped top is pointed so the front really does resemble a heart ♥. I'm sure as soon as you saw the different colors from left to right, you knew that I was going to mention a HUD, right? Well you'd be correct, it has 20 solid colors and 20 patterns for the top, plus 14 denim hues each for the front and back halves of the jeans with 6 metal tones including the red you see barely holding the fly closed on the right above ;) I still have a picture somewhere from the early 80s of a very fashionable younger cousin who had jeans that were two very different tones like this, front and back, and seeing it in fashion again these days still makes me smile to think of her. Fashion truly is cyclical, and I love it!

Wow, so Friday is here already and we made it through another week :) I made two small attempts to leave the house this week, slow exposure to agoraphobia triggers, and they were admittedly rough but I'm trying again tomorrow too. Not to the farmers market, that would be a lot at once, but just a few blocks away to a street (circle) where I can usually see horses and alpacas. I need to be able to leave the house again soon and stop canceling necessarily medical appointments, well at this point it would be rescheduling them all since I've flaked on 3. It is so weird to have to readjust to going out anywhere, but I am trying to be very patient with myself while still being gently persistent. Since this blog isn't about RL health struggles I am trying not to mention it every single post, but by the same token I don't want to be secretive in case someone out there is reading and can identify with what I'm going through. We are never truly alone in that regard, which can be comforting. Well I hope you all have a fantastic weekend ahead, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
