Monday Breakfast at Tiffany's

Hiya everyone! Tonight I have more treats to share from the The Breakfast At Tiffany's Hunt 2, the current free gridwide hunt from Fi's Creations. There are some delightful prizes waiting for you in the hidden boxes with the image from the hunt posters on them (sample on each sign) and I am excited to show you a few more tonight.


First up, we have a very generous prize from #13 Country Couture, called Breakfast at Tiffany's. There is a lovely dress in many mesh sizes (5 classic, 5 fitmesh, Slink, Belleza, and Maitreya) along with the sunglasses I am wearing and the matching shoes in Slink (shown), Belleza, and Maitreya sizes. So sexy!


Next we have an adorable prize from CuCu's Clothes, which includes a neat bonus as well. Holly's Jacket w Blouse comes in standard mesh sizes, and be sure to unpack the bonus gift in there as it is that terrific gift clutch bag XL "Breakfast at Tiffany's" with that iconic image on it. I'm wearing free jeans from the marketplace courtesy of Blackburns, details in credits :)


I love when a dress looks incredible from all angles, and the prize from #16 Ayva's Attic certainly fits that description. Elena Summer Dress (Glam Silver) is delightfully flirty, with that peek of silver and gold swirled fabric in front, and peeks of skin in the front and the back. This is one of those instant favorites!


My last look of the night is a fun skirt and top set from Lindy's Designs, #17 in the hunt, simply named BATH for the hunt's initials. The top and skirt each come in 6 sizes (one of which is fitmesh) and include a HUD for each with 6 color options. As you can see, they are mix and match, so create your own combo and change it as often as you like. 

Nail note of the night: I am very much enjoying the latest weekly group gift from Hello Dave, their Tulips in 6 lovely color combos. Their HUDs are for Slink and Omega, and the extremely generous group is free to join with all previous group gifts available. 

I had to get a cavity filled today so it wasn't one of my better days, but I am relieved to have it done and over with, no more toothache. Tomorrow I get my hair cut and colored, so that's a much better reason to be busy :) I hope you're all having a nice evening, magical magpie hugs to each of you!!

Sunday Advent Sweets

Hiya everyone! This morning was a fun adventure in collecting plenty of Advent Calendar gifts, and I can't possibly express my gratitude to the impressive number of designers all over the grid who are contributing their hard work to brighten our December. Here are just a few of the many free gifts that are brightening my day!


Emerald Couture has a gift for us that proves that an outfit doesn't need a skirt to be classy and sexy. This is their Old Hollywood Glam outfit, and it consists of mesh high waist pants in standard sizes with a great belt attached, a system layer top with appliers for Maitreya, Belleza, and Omega, clip on earrings (cute little button style) and even the matching Glam Heels that fit my Slink high feet like a dream. This looks to be an outfit that would be flattering on many different body types.


Today's gift from Entice is a smoking hot red dress, with little details like the slits at the shoulders and that great black lace trim. It's called Hungry Eyes in Red, and you do need to be a group member to claim this gift (find the right present under the tree, right click and pay $1L to be immediately reimbursed) but it's free to join and well worth it.


This beautiful dress from Stellajane for the KittyCatS Advent calendar is a wonderful remedy for the winter blues ;) It's called Ice Blue Velvet Snowflake, and really brings out my eyes which are today's gift from Inkheart. For the eyes, you will need the free group tag, and these lovelies are called Glitter Eyes in Heaven. I'm wearing the medium of the 3 sizes, the mesh ones but you also get system eyes as well. You might expect my jewelry to be from the KittyCatS calendar instead, but they are actually from Formanails and no group is required. They are called Catty-1 and include the necklace, left bangle, and right ring each with a built in resizer script. 


My last image of the morning, we have a playful Christmas shirt from GeMyles with Betty Boop all dolled up for the season. This is the system layer but never fear, it includes appliers for Maitreya and Omega. I'm posing next to a very interesting wall hanging from Eclectic Stars, one that sent me to google (as happens quite often!) to translate the Latin phrase on it. The gift is called Amor, the full wording is Amor Vincit Omnia (hmm actually that looks like Omina but google says it's omnia....) and it means Love Conquers All. There is a painting from 1601 by the name, but the saying itself is heartwarming. I love the scrollwork around the frame, too!

Nail note of the day: I went with our new group gift from Nail Me!, which is still free to join. This newest gift is named Sugared Cherries, and includes HUDs for Slink, Omega, and now Maitreya too. Exciting news for all you Maitreya fans! Speaking of group gifts, I am wearing the newest WoW skin today which comes in the new retooled shades for 2016, and I believe the body shading is modified as well for the new lines. The group is not free to join unfortunately, but all previous group gifts are available and I have never regretted paying the join fee. This gift includes Omega appliers for all 6 new shades too, for which my Slink hands and feet are very grateful :)

Well dear readers, it is time for the credits and then a nap, LOL, I've been up all night and didn't quite get enough sleep the past few days. Insomnia is a cruel mistress sometimes, okay all the time. I'll be okay, naps are my friend. I hope the weekend is being kind to all of you, magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Thursday Advent Gifties

Hiya everyone! I have definitely been enjoying my mornings of hopping around from sim to sim, finding lots of Advent calendar goodies to share with you. It is remarkable how many generous designers out there are willing to undertake such a task, offering 12 or 24 different free gifts to either their group members or simply anyone who visits! Here is just a small assortment of the many treasures available today.

This is a terrific color for auburn haired ladies such as myself, but honestly it would flatter just about all of us. This is today's gift from Bee's Heaven, it is named Britt and comes in the usual mesh sizes. They were having a glitch yesterday morning and their board wasn't' clickable, so I was extra excited to see that it was back up and running AND giving us this beauty. There is a men's gift in there also, so that is more good news too. No group needed, just visit and click.

This is another great option for when you're feeling like being a bit more dressed up during all the fun and festivities of the season. This gift from {Acios} is extra special because they are part of a trio of stores who have set up a winter wonderland skybox where they have each hidden a gift for each day, so today you will find a Day 3 from Acios, a Day 3 gift from Sweet Revolutions, and a Day 3 gift from Independent Objects. You will need a free group tag, but surely three gifts a day are well worth a single group slot :) This dress by the way appears to be a previous hunt gift based on the name, and comes with a HUD for 4 texture changes, all nearly black like above.

Another dress and some additional goodies, we start with the Emerald Couture gift of their Emerald Elegance Gown. There are system layers for the top and bottom, along with appliers for Belleza, Maitreya, and Omega, along with the mesh skirt panel in several sizes. The pretty matching shoes are even included! The wall decor next to me is an Advent Calendar gift from Mariposa, called Peaceful Starry Night, and the three largest stars twinkle between white and yellow. You do need a group tag for this, and it is free to join. In the insets you can see the eyes and nails I am wearing in all these photos today, the nails being the Day 3 gift from Hello Dave (free group tag required) and the eyes are from *Inkheart* and called Hope Eyes in Intense Blue. I wholeheartedly agree with the name choice :) Inkheart also needs a free group tag to claim their daily gifts.

For a sexy lil something to get the attention of whomever you'd like to meet under some mistletoe, I highly recommend heading to *SOIR* and claiming today's gift. Their mesh corset dress comes with a HUD to change the trim color, they're labeled 1 and 2 but as you can see they are a matching red or a contrasting white. No group needed, just visit and click the right day.

One last treat for the day, my avatar is definitely ready to obey this shirt because you just never know what danger the Doctor could get you into otherwise! This is today's Advent gift from Eclectic Stars, their mesh Comfy Shirt - Run. Standard sizes included, so you can get the perfect fit for your next Doctor Who party or just spending time with friends.

If I had unlimited time I could show you countless more, clothing and holiday decorations and accessories and just anything imaginable. My best suggestion is to check blogs like FabFree who were kind enough to compile a list of all the Advent calendars they know about and are updating it regularly. Meanwhile I will continue to share as many as I can, but I also have a few hunts that just started so I will have goodies from those to show you as well. Things are certainly hectic here, but I am doing my best to keep things fun and interesting for all of you to enjoy. Magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Some More Ghoulish Goodies

Hiya everyone! This is my Part 2 of the prizes from the Ghoul Fest Hunt at The Little Sideshow, yesterday's post being part 1, and even with two posts this is still just a small sampling just to give you an idea of how wonderful this free hunt is. You are looking for a purple grim reaper dude, hehe, and here are some more looks at what can be found in those.

This gorgeous frock is from **DSO** who has hidden a male and a female prize in this hunt, you can guess which this is ;) I do love this style of gown, although I do find it a challenge fitting a hairdo under the hood since it isn't adjustable. The dress is named Lamia, and comes in standard mesh sizes. The prize from HollyWeird is a terrific match for this gown (and many other shirts/dresses!), the beautiful Nyx Necklace in Purple. As you can see in the closer view, there are tiny purple beads dangling beneath each chain link, and the dark metal suits them quite well.

We all deserve something sexy, right? If you find the hidden prize from Facepalm, you can enjoy their Pumpkin lingerie and Pearl Choker. The lingerie comes in upper and lower system layers, and their Mega HUD which includes several appliers including Slink and Omega. The color is a deep flattering shade of red, and the style is intriguing.

Grumble has a wonderful outfit for us in their little grim reaper, feast your eyes upon their FitMesh Argyle Winter Sweater in Grey, and Tales Pleated Mini Skirt. Each is provided in several sizes for just the right fit, and I love how the look combines cozy with flirty, that bare shoulder peeking out.

Another playful look can be found in Trapped's hidden prize, their version of the overalls I blogged yesterday styled by Elation. Trapped has chosen a whimsical pattern of hearts and swirly ghosts, with a pop of bright pink on the tank top beneath (attached). Standard mesh sizes are included.

Finally I am showing just two of the shirts to be found in this hunt, to give you an idea. The shirt on the left is from Kita's Sideshow and is called {KS} Underground. In the center and on the right, you can see the front and back of the Dark Puppet Shirt from HIPNOTIC. Great designs for both.

Nail note of the night: same as last night, one of the prizes from this Ghoul Fest Hunt, Itsy Bitsy Spiders from Koffin Nails. Tiny patterns that are great for Halloween but also for year round, the advantage of subtlety sometimes. Another note for tonight is that the black jeans I am wearing in the last photo are a Marketplace freebie I have blogged before from Blackburns, and include a blue version as well, system layer only.

I haven't even decided what to share with you tomorrow yet, so it will be a surprise for everyone including me. Magical magpie hugs to each of you, and have a wonderful day/evening!!

Another Look at Kiyomizu Hunt Goodies

Hiya everyone! Yes, I have some more Kiyomizu Autumn 2015 Hunt prizes to share, some wonderful treasures that deserve to be seen. This seasonal hunt is continuing its tradition by offering these gifts from their new mall location along with several main stores of the designers, and I am thrilled to be able to not only find these great prizes but help spread the word about the new home of the mall.

I love this outfit, so a huge thank you to M*Motion for offering us this adorable halter dress with attached bolero as prize #3 in the hunt. If you look closely you'll notice that is sheet music as the delicate pattern on the dress, which is a plus since it adds a reminder of another type of beauty. Since I don't read music, I can just pretend it's my favorite song of the moment :)

Plenty of goodies to see here, we have the one size fits all Halloween t-shirt from Amikko which is prize #26, just find that ninja cat and give him a little tickle (click) and you can enjoy this flowing mesh shirt too. I accessorized with the treats from cat #58 from Peekaboo, the Halloween necklace and earrings. I was glad to share a closer view of each so you can see the details, including their store name and the words Happy Halloween on the necklace. The texture of the pumpkin on the earrings actually swirls around a bit, black and orange, very cute!

For a bright and alluring top, don't miss prize #27 from Kai. I am loving their cross straps and funky pattern. I enjoyed the chance to accessorize again, this time with earrings from Crystal Dream and bracelets from DAMIANII. The earrings are #34 in the hunt, and feature sweet mini pumpkins peeking at us. The bracelets actually come in 3 colors but I am showing 2, the dark red and the black stone (which I moved to my left wrist as they all defaulted to right wrist and all atop each other so not separately visible) that you can see a closer view of the neat texture in the top inset, also includes a purple not shown. Those are prize #40 and not to be missed! In case you're wondering about my jeans for the past 2 pictures, they are a marketplace freebie you will find the info in the credits :)

Finally, if you need to get dressed up but can't decide on a color to wear, how about a dress that comes with a HUD featuring 10 different lovely hues? That's exactly what we get from the cat hidden in #53 Sugarplum, which comes in standard mesh sizes along with alpha layer and a system layer bra and underpants set for modesty. Being in an accessorizing mood by then, I was pleased to add a very sweet pair of earrings from *LAT.43N* simply called Ribbon Pearl Earrings, neutral enough to match all the colors of the dress and then some. This is prize #56 (2 of 2) because there are 2 cats hiding at their location; the other has another pretty pair of earrings for all of us.

Nail note of the night: I did pick up the newest Hello Dave group gift called In Disguise, and it's a really fun HUD with 6 different mustaches on a silvery background so you can mix and match your nails' hairy little disguises :) I freely admit that they made me giggle, and this is the kind of week where I need all the extra smiles I can get so huge thanks to Maia Gasparini who is our Hello Dave designer. 

Well it's credits time and I'm running late, so I am dashing through with hugs and magpie magic for each of you, with hopes for a great day/evening!!
