Almost Halloween

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I have another terrific Halloween treat to show you, which is an exclusive offer from Nirvana Fashion at BUNDLES of Dove (formerly called DAZZLE event). You will want to hurry for this one, as the event is ending very soon! Then we take a look at several group gifts from Blackbird Lace, whose store group is free to join. It is so worth the visit, especially when they have gifts for other groups available too if you are in several multi-designer groups like I am :) All of the gifts you'll see here tonight are for their store group specifically. These are great ways to be prepared for Halloween and then the weekend ahead.

This spooky outfit is what I will be wearing as my casual Halloween look. It is the Nirvana Fashion - FeMale Halloween - Single Outfit B[4] exclusive for BUNDLES. For just $160L you will receive the shirt, jeans, and even shoes! The shirt is provided in 5 classic and 5 fitmesh standard sizes for classic avatars, plus sizes for eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh bodies. The pants (jeans leggings) come in system/BOM layer and an Omega applier for a broad range of compatibility, and the shoes are sized for eBody, Belleza, Maitreya, Slink, and Tonic feet. I think this is a perfect choice for watching a scary movie, or exploring a haunted mansion somewhere...good news, there is also an exclusive men's offer too!

Over to Blackbird Lace, I am enjoying the unique style of their Ava dress with its diagonal ruffle and distressed spots. It comes in Altamura, Eve Pulpy, Eve Slim, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP sizes. I wonder if it was created from khaki colored denim, maybe a well loved pair of jeans that someone wanted to give a dressy feeling :)

Next we have the Pamela Dress by BL, another generous group gift in plenty of sizing. The gift includes Altamura, eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP versions. The overalls and coordinated tube top are linked together to be worn as one piece, making it very convenient to slip into this and head out for whatever you have planned.

I am a big fan of polka dots, so this Andreea Dress by Blackbird Lace makes me very happy :) It is provided in sizes for Altamura, eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP bodies, with a 10 color HUD so you can choose your favorite color. The peeks of midriff are a playful touch, aren't they?

My final look this evening is the lovely Carina Gift by BL, and I am loving that dramatic ruffle and split color! It comes in Altamura, eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP sizing. I was drawn to the striking style of this strapless mini with peekaboo opening in the front. 

It has been a long day here...a chronic health issue is flaring, and the increased pain makes it a bit difficult to type. I am slow and awkward, but I am trying my best :) Tomorrow is my usual dinner with my parents, then a Saturday trip to the farmers market will be my only other outing for the weekend. I have clean masks ready to be worn, and I am wondering if having pleasant plans to look forward to will be an effective distraction so I can focus on things other than discomfort. I hope you're all having a beautiful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

More Summer Vibes from Bundle of Dove

Hiya everyone! Tonight I am excited to share some more special findings from the current Bundle of Dove event called Summer Vibes. These talented designers have created some exclusive offers for our pleasure, and you will find discounted selections along with a few gifts because they are generous that way :) The event itself is decorated beautifully as always, in a seasonal theme that is a visual delight. We have until the 14th of July to explore the event and try out demos, so take your time and enjoy yourself!

This is our exclusive offer from Travesty, a stunning fatpack called Summertide. The dress comes in Freya, Isis, Maitreya, Hourglass, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine sizing, while the shoes are fitted for Belleza, Maitreya, Slink, and Tonic feet. The fatpack is $225L and includes the HUD that lets you pick from 8 fantastic patterns for the dress, and 4 coordinating colors for the shoes. Did you notice the tropical parrots in the texture on the left? They are macaws, and an easy way to get my attention ♥. I was also drawn to the style of the dress, with its daring back and high-low hem.

I also found a terrific outfit at the (GGVG) display that has a seasonal flavor in monochromatic styling, their ADENA OUTFIT exclusive. It is $180L and consists of the wrap top and sarong style skirt, each in Freya, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizing. So many summer outfits have bold colors, yet I found this simple black and white combo refreshing in its distinctiveness.

(GGVG) is also ready to help you turn heads with this sexy Lana Bikini Wet, one of a few selections of this nature that embody summer. This set is a bargain at $320L since it provides the bikini (top and bottom separates) and fishnet dress to layer over it, each in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizes. There is even a HUD for our fishnet dress, offering 12 colors for the dress and 16 for the beads at the hem. Please note that our bikini is white fabric and is "wet", and we know what happens to such material...it becomes very sheer :) There is also a version for sale that is not transparent, if you prefer a more dry/solid look for your material.

I could make puns about the {WitchCraft} exclusive selections putting a spell on me with their beauty, or I could simply let them speak for themselves ;) Their display at Bundle of Dove has several versions of their Demeter Body suits for you, $80L each or $300L for the full fatpack of 8 varieties. I randomly chose #02 for the left, and 07 for the right, to share the range of colors and patterns among these treasures. They each include sizes for Freya, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies, with halter neckline and bodice bow above the pert ruffled skirt and thong rear. 

My final look of the evening can be found at the Moonstar display, and is their free gift for Bundle of Dove visitors. It is called White Cheetah Swimsuit and Sunglasses, and I must say that the heart shaped shades with built in resize script are a fantastic treat to accessorize the swimsuit with. The suit comes in 5 classic and 5 fitmesh sizes for classic avatars, as well as Maitreya and Physique versions for mesh bodies. The styling is relatively modest while being very striking thanks to the bold print. I am certainly ready to visit the beach!

As the weekend comes to a close, I am focusing on staying cool in this hot weather, and planning some exciting posts for the week ahead :) There is always something new to see or do in SL, and that makes me a very happy magpie. I hope you have all enjoyed your weekend, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Sweet Summer Vibes

Hiya everyone! Tonight we visit the Summer Vibes round of the Bundle of Dove event, where you can find exclusive offers from many talented designers as well as discounted items and even a few gifts here and there :) With a theme like this, you can easily imagine how creative and exciting these offerings are, and the region is decorated beautifully so you can enjoy your exploration and find just the right outfits for you. There are demos available for most, so be sure to try those first when possible. The event just opened a few days ago, and runs until the 14th of July.

Our first visit this evening is the NILSY display, where you will find several selections to tickle your fancy. This gorgeous dress is their Ruffled Cotton Lace Dress, exquisitely textured in pale pink with lots of lace throughout the design. It comes in sizes for classic avatars (5 standard and 5 fitmesh) along with versions for eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Ocacin, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh bodies. All this is just $99L, and exclusively at Bundle of Dove.

Perhaps you prefer bold colors and striking prints, well then I would love to suggest the NILSY Offshoulder Summer Dress. This treat has a unique pattern of dots and succulents, with a flowing skirt that falls just above the knee so it shows off our legs and shoulders beautifully. The $99L selection comes in sizes for classic avatars (classic and fitmesh S, M, L each) and mesh bodies which include Freya, Venus, Maitreya, Ocacin, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, Tonic Fine, and Voluptuous. 

There is another $99L option waiting for you at the NILSY display, this lovely Dot Dress in royal blue with attached belt tied in a sleek bow. The halter style reveals our upper back, and the short hem draws attention to our legs beautifully. Standard sizes are provided, along with Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP mesh body versions. 

I did mention gifts, and NILSY has one of those for us too :) This charming pairing is the Ruffled Top and Printed Skirt, and can be yours absolutely free for visiting. The shirt dips low in the rear where it is buttoned, and comes in standard mesh sizes plus a fitted version for standard avatars along with Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizes. The skirt has the same pastel pink shade as its background, with gorgeous flowers in bloom, sized for Maitreya and Slink bodies as well as 5 classic and 5 fitmesh sizes. 

My final look of the evening is a free gift from {Chaotic} called Aviva. This daring little dress is provided in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies, all with a short handkerchief hemline and cheerful floral pattern. Such a thoughtful gift, and I appreciate it.

I was very grateful today that the weather stayed clear long enough for me to visit the farmers market, so I was able to get lots of yummy food from all the wonderful people there. It was hot enough that wearing a mask was uncomfortable, but I kept it on and will be looking into other styles that might be cooler for the summer weather. Tomorrow is Father's Day here, but we do not generally do much for it so I will just wish my dad a happy day by text. They will be busy getting groceries for my grandmother and her caretaker anyway, so they are never home on Sundays. I hope you are all having a pleasant day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Bundle of Dove

Hiya everyone! Tonight I am excited to show you some of the many exclusive selections from the Bundle of Dove event. You may remember this event as its former name DAZZLE, and it is organized by the same terrific person (Palomma Casanova) who owns The Free Dove :) There are many participating designers who are all offering an exclusive selection for the Hello Sunshine theme, among other offers in most cases, so you are bound to find something special to catch your fancy. I even found two free gifts to brighten everyone's visit. Our event is open until the 14th of April, so you have time to pick up demos and return when you decide. I am linking each store's name in my ending credits to their specific display location, but I hope you will enjoy exploring the whole beautiful area, crossing the rope bridges and appreciating the seasonal scenery.

My first look is the {WitchCraft} Lore Dress, their beautiful exclusive with sheer midriff, floaty detached sleeves, and delicate polka dots. The dress comes in sizes for eBody Classic, eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies. There is also a HUD provided with 6 color choices, two of which you can see above. All this is only $120L and exclusively at the Bundle of Dove. 

Next we see the exclusive offer from {Melt} called Dallas Dress. It has an asymmetrical hemline gathered on one side, with stripes of various designs on the skirt and a solid top with cap sleeves. The dress is included in eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizing, with a HUD featuring 9 color options and 4 belt choices. The belt has 2 colors, with or without the heart closure in front. This treat is $150L at the Bundle of Dove event.

We also stop by the Moonstar display, where you will find this cute free gift called Mesh Hello Spring Dress and Panties. The dress has an image of a girl with a crown of flowers feeding some happy birds, and the pastel colors are sweet for welcoming spring as well. Our gift includes sizes for eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and even a standard version for classic avatars. The lace panties come in a system/BOM layer as well as an Omega applier, and you are about to see them in my next photo :)

The lacy Moonstar panties came in handy for me to show you the top from FK Papillon, which is named after the store itself. This flirty tank top is raised on one side, in a deep burgundy with a butterfly and the word "Papillon" on the front. It is provided in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh body sizing.

Are any of you playing Animal Crossing: New Horizons? I am brand new to the Animal Crossing franchise, well I play the tablet Pocket Camp app which is totally different but this is my first experience with the regular game system versions and I like it so far :) Only 2 days in, but it is a nice way to pass the time when you are home all day. I still have so much to learn, that's for sure! I have been reading through a guide online that so far has been very helpful. Otherwise there is not much new here, I am just trying to stay calm and healthy which is exactly what I wish for all of you. Many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
