Love The Dragon Hunt

 Hiya everyone! Tonight's post is sharing another gridwide hunt, this time the Love the Dragon 7 Hunt by the Harambee-Gwassi charity store. There are $3L prizes inside cute dragon plushies, and you can also find $10L treats inside green snake mugs. I found it so interesting that many of the designers chose to feature the "love" aspect along with the "dragon" part of the theme :) Everyone did an impressive job and I was tickled pink to have bonus reasons to visit these wonderful stores. Inviting all of you to these locations is also an honor, since we all deserve to have the wardrobe of our dreams in SL. We've got just a few days to pick these up since the hunt ends on the 30th, so hurry like you're riding a dragon!

The Bold Llama T-Shirt Co. is offering both types of hunt prizes here, so we'll start with the $3L dragon plushie. That holds the PIMP MY DRAGON Tee, whose name alone caught my attention before I even tried it on ;) The multicolored serpentine dragon is coiled on a bed of roses, looking truly magnificent and indeed pimped out. There are standard mesh sizes as well as eBody Classic, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, Waifu, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP mesh body sizes included on an unpacker HUD. Just click the brand you need and hang onto that HUD for future use if you wish. I find these tank tops to look great with jeans but also low waisted mesh skirts, pants, and whatever I have with coordinating colors. Versatility is awesome!

Their $10L snake mug contains The Bold Llama T-Shirt Co. BOOP! Tee, which still has me in stitches and I know Xan is going to adore it too. The image looks like a statue of a dragon, almost gargoyle-like, being touched gently or booped on the nose. Now I know that the motto of a famous school of witchcraft and wizardry is Latin for "never tickle a sleeping dragon", but it says nothing about booping an awake one...would you risk it? I'm going to say that it depends on the dragon and their mood, but it is a loving display so that does match our theme. Same sizes/unpacker HUD as the first treat I shared, and same handy Delizio jeans from the marketplace appear here.

Our GoodVibes Love is in the Lair prize (just $3L) also gave me the giggles, showing the romantic side of these scaly fire-breathing creatures. I'm loving all these pretty tank tops as you can tell, this one being cropped and slightly flared at the hem. The name of the top appears in a pretty font next to the main green dragon, who is snuggling with a heart, while the rest of the fabric is patterned with sketches of dragons in various poses. We receive sizes for Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, Waifu, and Star mesh bodies. 

One of the most striking features of many dragons is their scales, so the @rOrO Dragon Scale Dress is a loving homage to their beauty. This $3L prize is tucked inside a dragon plushie, and the iridescent colors give an ethereal appearance that I can't stop staring at :) There are Erika, Kupra, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Prima, Prima Petite, Reborn, Waifu, and Star mesh body sizes included. I must say, the front and back openings are showing off enough to make a dragon's cheek scales blush! That is not a complaint by the way, lol, just an admiring observation.

For my final look of the evening, I was so happy to see that I got to return to Psyche's Pstyles for another hunt :) This time it's for their $3L Flight of Fancy Dress Dragon Ed, safely hidden in a dragon plushie. I love the pattern on our main fabric, dragons hanging out near castles with hearts and stars decorating the space surrounding them. In the spirit of love for dragons, I'm going to assume that they are visiting royal or noble friends rather than attacking the castles (a trope of so many medieval stories) since they do look very cheerful. The dusky blue trim matches perfectly too :) We receive sizes for Erika, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh body sizes of this sweet frock.

My outing yesterday was long but mostly good, and I am happy to say that my new favorite pizza place also has excellent stromboli :) I know they're basically the same thing, but I wanted something just different enough and it worked out just right. The weather was good, and I got a nice card for my dad's birthday which was today but I'll be seeing him tomorrow. Apparently he shares his birthday with my favorite hockey team's mascot, LOL, a terrifying beast who likes to throw cakes at fans of opposing teams. I'm sure he's thrilled ;) Gaming with friends as I do most Thursdays was also really enjoyable, so all in all it's been a nice day. I hope you're all having a lovely day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Weekend Hollywood Glam

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we head into the weekend with some fresh new glam from the CMH Hollywood Glamour 4 Hunt. There are $1L prizes and exclusive offers for $25L - $50L hiding in participating stores, inside star tiles that look like they could be from the Hollywood Walk of Fame. You'll want to peek at the Cheeky Monkey Hunts website for the links, hints, prices, and previews of the prizes found at each stop. The designers get to decide how many and which prices to offer us, and they have really gone all out to bring us fashion, accessories, poses, home decor and more for men, women, and dinkies. It's a pleasure to show you some more fantastic treats from this hunt :)

We start with the $25L exclusive from The Bold Llama T-Shirt Co. called FAMOUS-ish Tee. The image on the front has a very classic Hollywood feeling with a large star, film strips, and lots of gold sparkle, with "FAMOUS-ISH" across the front which made me chuckle :) I did share their other 2 offerings in my first post of this hunt, so it's exciting to share this one as well. The unpacker HUD lets us choose from standard mesh sizes or eBody Classic, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, Waifu, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP mesh body sizes. Just click the size you need and hold onto the HUD for future reference.

Speaking of chuckles, I got another good one from our Gramma's "GLAMBITCHOUS" wmns knotted Tee dollarbie :) My first thought was glamorous with the word bitch plopped in the middle, but then I felt like the word ambitious is in there too, at least the sound of it? The style is very flattering with the tied side, and I love the golden swirls that do add some glam. There are fitmesh standard sizes included as well as sizing for eBody Classic, Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, Reborn, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine bodies. With this and the prior top, I'm wearing the white pair of Delizio jeans from their marketplace gift that is a full fatpack in BOM and appliers for Maitreya and Omega. 

If you'd like something even more fancy for a fun weekend outing, I'm going to suggest the Psyche's Pstyles Razzle Dazzle Gown Gold Ed for just $1L. It's a funny coincidence that I am showing you goodies from them two days in a row, but not surprising since I am a huge fan of theirs :) This stunning strapless gown is provided in fitted standard S and L sizes as well as eBody Classic, Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, Nhumana, Reborn, Hourglass, and Physique mesh body versions. I like the way it hugs our curves so sleekly, not overly tight but just enough. 

Next the ART & FASHION - FREEDOM OUTFIT is an amazing $1L prize with some clever accessories. The long gown comes in Freya, Isis, Venus (each Natural, Perky, Pushup), Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizes, with arm decorations in the same size set. Since they are separates, we can go with or without them to suit whatever mood strikes us :) Even the matching choker I'm wearing here is included, and it is adjustable for easy wear. I am also admiring the artwork on the dress, naturally, and it seems to be a woman screaming while her hair flies upwards to turn into birds in flight. Sometimes a powerful scream is freeing, and hopefully she is releasing stress or fear. There's also a $50L exclusive offering hiding here, to be sure to check the hunt website for that hint as well.

Our final look of the night is a gorgeous $50L exclusive from Artistic Eye. Their ~AE~ Monique Top n Skirt Red consists of the brief top with crossed straps both front and back, and the widely pleated skirt with gold chain belt around the waistband. Each of these are designed to fit Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Lara X, Petite X, Legacy, Perky, and Reborn mesh bodies. There's something really special about red satin, and I really think it needs to be shown off during a weekend excursion!

I am so ready for the weekend :) The baker/chef at the farmers market I go to each Saturday is making crepes for lunch, savory (veggie or chicken and spinach) and sweet (apple, I forget the other flavors LOL) so I'll be eating good the next couple of days. My choices are preordered and should be ready to go actually, which makes things easier for her and for myself. Last week I saw 4 cute dogs, but I'll be happy just seeing my favorite little buddy (the Boston terrier, no his name isn't Buddy but it's unusual so best not to mention). I'm having trouble with the book of faces still, LOL, so it seems I'll have to try putting the link to my post in the comments instead of in the FB post itself. Their AI couldn't tell what the problem was, aren't I shocked...I also had it reviewed choosing the option that I think their AI misinterpreted my posts as spam, and they let that same software do the review. Sigh. My apologies if you follow me on there but don't see my posts. I hope you all have a fantastic weekend ahead, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Hollywood Glamour Hunt

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we're star searching with the CMH Hollywood Glamour 4 Hunt. That's because our hunt object is a star like the Hollywood Walk of Fame tiles, with a movie film camera in the center rather than a celeb name. They each contain either a $1L hunt prize or an exclusive offer from $25L - $50L, designer's choice as to which and how many they wish to provide. Glamour leaves itself open to such broad interpretation, and the designers have done a fantastic job as always :) If you've ever known someone who always looks glam even if they are in jeans and an old t-shirt, you might agree that it is a state of mind rather than any one singular look. Be sure to have the Cheeky Monkey Hunts website open to guide you with their location links, prices, hints, and previews!

First we see the wonderful $1L GoodVibes Hollywood Glamour Casual Tank prize. The pretty teal fabric has a playful pattern of things like popcorn, film cameras, and music notes with the word Hollywood scattered about. We receive sizes for Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, Waifu, and Star mesh bodies. I really like the way the hem is cropped but fluttery, so not an overly snug fit but very flattering.

Just right for the upcoming cooler weather, Starlight Apparel has their .{SA}. Lottie Yellow & Black Crop Sweater as a $1L prize. There are fluffy and non-fluffy versions included (NF = non fluffy, on the right above) each in Lara X, Legacy, Perky, Reborn, and Waifu mesh body sizes. Animal prints always make me smile, and this style with the lifted right side is extra flirty ;) Please note I am wearing the nipple covers that came with my skin, so to hide your nips you may need something similar or even a BOM bra for modesty.

Now we knew that The Bold Llama T-Shirt Co. would be offering some fantastic looks for this round, and as usual they deserve gold stars! Their $1L treat is the UNPAID ACTOR Tee I'm wearing here, which says "Unpaid Background Actor" on the front and made me chuckle. I kinda feel that way in RL sometimes ;) Their cozy tank tops are provided in standard mesh sizes as well as eBody Classic, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, Waifu, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP mesh body sizing. Fortunately it's on an unpacker HUD so you are just clicking the brand you need, and you can hold onto that for future use.

The Bold Llama T-Shirt Co. NO AUTOGRAPHS Tee is their $50L exclusive for this hunt, and I'm a huge fan of the breezy, sassy attitude! The gorgeous starlet on the front is adjusting her sunglasses while saying "No Autographs Please", and I'm picturing her flashing a sparkly smile before flipping her hair and sauntering off :) The same sizes I mentioned in the prior image's description apply here as well, and it's a good time to mention that so far I've been wearing the white Delizio jeans from their marketplace fatpack gift in all of these photos. They're free and versatile, so I am a grateful fan.

Okay, so perhaps your idea of glam is more focused on the dressy side of fashion...please allow my final look of the evening to dazzle you then :) The Blink2Wink - Marlene Set CMH is their $1L hunt prize (not to be confused with the $50L exclusive that is a fatpack of this stunning style in dozens of colors) and I love the way the green looks with the golden threads woven through. The dress and the sleeves are separates, each in traditional and PBR texturing (PBR is on the left above), all provided in sizing for Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, and Waifu bodies. It could just be from the colors, but the tulip sleeves make this remind me of a fairy or wood nymph :) 

I'll be taking the evening off from blogging tomorrow because I have plans that will take up most of my day, not leaving me time for taking photos and notes to prepare a post. I'm excited to go to Trader Joe's and see what they have for fall though, and to drop by my parents' to give my mom her birthday card and gift on time :) I hope you're all having a terrific day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

The Warehouse Sale

 Hiya everyone! Tonight's post celebrates the 6th birthday of The Warehouse Sale event. This long running sales event is post-apocalyptic themed, which is a suggestion to the designers rather than a requirement. They each offer at least one item at a 10% - 50% discount, and many of them are also offering a gift for the event's group (free to join) in crates between the booths. Some have a picture of the gift on the crate, while many others are going to be a complete surprise when we open the folder :) There were so many delightful accessories among these gifts that you can really get creative with new looks.

I'm starting things out on the sexy side, thanks to our [Glitzz] Zaide Lingerie - Blush gift. It consists of the top, panties, and garter (waist) each in sizing for Kupra, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Nhumana, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. There's also a HUD included with 3 metals for the little clasps on the panties. Please note that I am wearing nipple covers that came with my skin, so the sheer bra will probably reveal your nipples if you aren't wearing something similar. I do enjoy the strapless style of the bra (so uncomfy in RL, so pretty in SL!) and the G-string panties are also much easier to wear in SL.

Next I changed into [The Forge] Cammy. Black, a stunning gift of strapless bra and shrug jacket. Surely I can't be the only one who loves when long sleeves extend to wrap around our palms and loop over the thumb? :) Both pieces come in Legacy, Perky, Lara X, Reborn, Juicy, and Waifu sizes. I've got a bazillion strapless or sleeveless tops that I'd love to wear this shrug with, at least once the cooler weather rolls in. 

Please excuse me for turning my back to you, but it's really the only way to show off my new tattoo ;) This beauty is also a group gift here, the A.D.D.Andel! Saturn Zodiac Back Tattoo, provided in a simple BOM layer. I recognized Saturn because of the ring, and I do know some but not all of the zodiac symbols offhand...that is actually okay though since they are all labeled :) The tattoo is a very nice opacity level that looks realistic yet still photographed very well. 

I am still laughing because before I unpacked our .:Fio's - Lana Ice Cream - fatpack:. gift I was expecting a cone or cones to hold in either hand. Then I saw body sizes and was intrigued! This gift actually includes the handheld cones for left or right, and the worn ice cream in sizes for Legacy, Perky, Lara X, and Reborn bodies. The HUD for the handheld cone offers 9 ice cream flavors and 3 colors for the cone, just click the outline on the HUD for the part you wish to tint. There is a similar HUD for the worn ice cream, which you can also access the various parts by clicking the different sections. It has 9 ice cream flavors, 5 colors for the cookie center, and 6 for the sprinkles. Be prepared for people to want to line up to help you clean up this mess ;)

Our 41m / Sheer Halter Top / Cow Gift has 2 versions, solid and sheer, both in BOM layers that work with any compatible body. I'm wearing the solid on the left and sheer on the right, by the way :) I couldn't resist showing off a new little friend, the {Sakura} Snufflebum Keychain gift. This little sweetie comes in left and right hand held versions, and includes a HUD with 8 colorways for the plush, 7 for the keyring, and 6 metals to customize their appearance. The name is as adorable as the plushie, and I am really grateful for a new furry friend to hang onto. 

I'm just having one of those odd days, so please excuse any strange typos or grammar weirdness in my post :) My friends and I are all having a busy week so we weren't able to reschedule our Thursday game night (my fault, dentist) to any other day of the week. That means this week will just be skipped, a bit of a bummer but I will still chat with her online everyday. I hope you're all having a nice day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Sunflower Hunting

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we are going hunting, primarily the Malus Park Sunflower Hunt. That sends us searching for pretty yellow sunflowers which are each $5L or less, so there are bargains galore at each stop on the hunt path :) For a bit of variety I am also sharing a CMH Kawaii Summer hunt prize from one of the sunflower hunt stops (Ari-Pari ♥) who were not ready yet when I first blogged selections from that hunt but are good to go now. We all know that RL can become very complex and interfere with time in SL, so I am very understanding and just glad to see that the designer was able to participate after all. It's very exciting to share these budget-friendly beauties with all of you :)

@rOrO is offering their beautiful Khloe Blouse Sunflowers as a $2L prize, and I simply adore it :) The pattern of course matches the theme perfectly, and the style is intriguing with the full long sleeves and deep plunging back. I'd happily wear this in any color or pattern! Find this sunflower and you can claim sizes for Erika, Lara X, Legacy, Reborn, and Star mesh bodies. I'm wearing the cream pair of Delizio jeans with it, but you can pair it with all sorts of skirts, pants, shorts, or whatever you wish.

More sunny blooms appear on the [Ari-Pari] Sunflower Outfit, which is a fantastic $5L prize. The top and skirt are each provided in Legacy, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn mesh body sizes, along with a HUD to select from 10 colors apiece. The softly gathered top with square neckline and tiny bow is always a solid color, and the loose fitting mid-thigh length skirt has sunflower pattern options with 10 colors of background to match the shirt's hues. 

Keep exploring [Ari-Pari] to find their Kawaii Summer hunt object too - a striped popsicle that contains the Amikka Outfit for just $1L. That tied tank top looks delightful when paired with the patterned shorts, bursting with kawaii smiling sweet treats of all flavors. This prize includes sizes for Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies, along with a HUD with 5 solid colors for the top and the same 5 colors as trim and pattern for the shorts. Safe to say that I've found my new favorite casual shorts outfit for bopping around the grid with Xan this summer and fall ;)

Next we head to Psyche's Pstyles, where the spectacular Sunset Sunflowers Dress can be yours for just $1L :) The colors will lead you into autumn with ease, and the pleated style gives the dress an appearance of movement. There are Freya, Isis, Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, Reborn, Hourglass, and Physique mesh body sizes included. I used to automatically think dress = formal, but this is more of an everyday yet special look. 

For my final look of the evening, I switched back over to the [Ari-Pari] Amikka Outfit from photo #3 so I could crouch down and show you my new footwear. That would be our Adore Amore Emi Okobo Sunflowers, a sweet score for just $1L. These gorgeous Japanese sandals are tied across the top of the foot with intricate knots, and are worn in a tiptoe pose with a tall wooden base. Naturally this pair is decorated with gorgeous sunflowers to match our hunt theme :) You might need to raise your avatar's hover height so these beauties aren't sunken into the ground. 

Tomorrow I'm taking the evening off from blogging because of a busy RL day (podiatrist visit, etc.) but will be back Friday with more goodies :) My anxiety is having a field day right now, just from knowing I'll be in a car for a while I guess. The weather might be hot and muggy, so not the most pleasant outing ever but also certainly not the worst. I hope you're all having a peaceful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Addicted to Gifts

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I hopped around the grid to find gifts for the *Addicted to offers and gifts* group, which is currently free to join. These multi-designer groups are a fantastic source of info, as the designers can send notices about their new releases and special sales as well as offering treats for the group's members in their stores. I'm happy that there are so many for us to enjoy :)

Our first stop is Andare, to pick up their lovely Robin Dress FATPACK gift. It feels very summery with the bare arms, floral pattern, and intriguing hemline that shows off plenty of leg :) There are sizes for eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Kupra Bimbo, Low, Original, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Signature Alice, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies included. We also receive a HUD with 11 colors apiece for the top, straps, belt, and skirt, so we can mix and match to our heart's content. Note - this gift was next to a 30L$ 30M sign rather than the group's sign, a fact I discovered by area searching for the group name :) 

Speaking of beautiful floral designs, the [K-Style] KARINA DRESS #17 group gift is a bodycon strapless dress that is blooming with pink roses and soft greenery on the fabric. It fits Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite mesh bodies, and I think it will be easy to dress up or down depending on the accessories you choose. 

The next step after wet t-shirts must be wet tank tops, right? Our Tchelo's gift is their T TOP Wet'n wild, and it certainly lives up to the name :) There are sizes for Altamura, eBody Classic, eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Signature, Hourglass, Physique, Star, Tonic Curvy, Tonic Fine, and Tonic Minim mesh bodies. Also included are a BOM layer of water drops that appear on the upper chest, and a HUD with 8 textures including the white wet one on the left above. The others, even another white one, are solid colors. It's worth noting that I am wearing nipple covers that came with my skin, otherwise I think they would be fairly visible through the wet looking fabric.

Melody is a wonderful store whose owner seems to be the creator of this group, and so it makes sense that they are offering not just one but two generous treats for the members. This is the Sarabi// FATPACK gift, with top and skirt in sizes for Classic, Curvy, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn each, plus a HUD that lets us choose from 26 colors each for the top, top ruffle, and skirt. I love the versatility of lace like this flirty ruffle, really bringing something special to our look.

My final look this evening is their other treat called Melody Camela Gift Melody Christmas 23-24, and despite the name I think it is appropriate to wear any day of the year :) This sexy dress comes in sizing for Classic, Curvy, Lara X, Legacy, and Reborn mesh bodies, with a HUD which offers 20 colors apiece for the top, strap, skirt, and clasps, plus 3 metals. The daring side opening makes me think that a c-string (maybe one from last night's post!) would come in very handy here :) 

My day was relatively quiet, and I expect tomorrow to be similar. I hope you're all having a pleasant day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Hunting with Harambee-Gwassi

 Hiya everyone! Tonight's post is a bit of a variety, since I started with one hunt and hopped to another by the same folks :) That would be the Harambee-Gwassi charity store, who organize fantastic events and hunts for us to enjoy just about every single month. The first 2 prizes I found were from the July hunt, the Ice Cream Cone Hunt, then the rest are from August's Save The Sea Hunt. I completely understand that not everyone is ready for the new rounds each time the month changes, and am simply mentioning so you know what hunt objects you are looking for :) Also that helps you to know which hints to follow, and if the prize I share is no longer available by the time you read this, you can always check for the newer hunt prizes at that location instead. Each round has 2 hunt items available, for $3L and $10L apiece, so the websites are quite handy to have open to tell you which you seek. Also, you can get a notecard with links, pics, and hints by clicking the hunt sign at participating stores.

My first look is an Ice Cream Hunt prize found in a $3L triple scoop ice cream cone, the Violet Skies - Xanthe Outfit Lime. You'll need to unpack this the traditional way (rez on ground and right click to unpack) because of a no-copy BOM shirt inside, which is a cropped fishnet top you see above as the base layer. The mesh components are the bodysuit and skirt which are designed for Lara X, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Nhumana, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. The outfit looks just as nice without the fishnet layer as it does with it, so let your personal tastes guide you there :) 

The Bold Llama T-Shirt Co. is also running a little behind this month, which means we still have the chance to grab their $10L YOU'RE HOT Tee prize from the Ice Cream Hunt. We just have to find the pretty little cupcake, as this hunt was all about the sugar rush :) The cozy charcoal tank top says "Wow You're Hot" in bold 3D block lettering, and comes in standard mesh sizes as well as eBody Classic, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, Waifu, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP mesh body versions. It's all on an unpacker HUD so you can deliver what you need right now and hang onto that HUD for future reference if you wish. That's what I always do anyway :)

Time to switch over to the Save the Sea Hunt, for which you can find the ILL Hazar outfit in a $3L oyster shell with pearl inside. This edgy top and skirt set includes sizing for Lara X, Legacy, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. I love the plaid on the skirt, looks fantastic with the black leather corset-laced waist and cropped top with open sides! It's going to be right at home in any Goth, alternative, or punk avatar's inventories.

Now I'm curious about the existence of eco-friendly pirates, thanks to the @rOrO Harlow Dress Pirate Print which is a $10L prize from Save The Sea inside a cute blue octopus hunt object. The bare shoulder style is a flirty favorite of mine, and the ruffle around the top and upper arms has such a fun pattern of sailing ships just like a pirate would have or commandeer. There are sizes for Erika, Lara X, Legacy, Pushup, Reborn, and Star mesh bodies included. I did notice an ice cream cone there too, so keep on searching if you'd like something else sweet.

My final look of the night is our $3L prize for Save the Sea (seashell with pearl) from GoodVibes called Moana. Isn't she lovely? I'm certainly feeling nautical and a bit naughty in the open weave dress covered with multicolored shells, while appreciating the two most carefully placed ones that cover the upper essentials ;) We also receive a string bikini bottom for added modesty, so where's your favorite adult beach to wear this to? We receive Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, Waifu, and Star mesh body sizes of both pieces. 

It was a fun evening of gaming with friends online, and I am pleasantly surprised that my new glasses are ready to be picked up much sooner than expected :) It was supposed to be 2 weeks but I got the text today, and will be headed there before my parents' for dinner tomorrow. I wonder if they felt sorry for me, LOL, or just want to make sure I don't have any more reason to complain ;) Honestly I was very polite about everything and didn't blame anyone but my own brain for feeling too dizzy with the extra strong prescription. I'm eager to get things moving so I can prepare more for the cataract surgeries themselves, as much as I dread them, since it will drastically improve my vision. I hope you're all having a wonderful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

CMH Kawaii Summer

 Hiya everyone! Tonight it's time for the CMH Kawaii Summer 2 Hunt, with treats to help you beat the heat in style. Visit each participating store and look for the cute popsicles (3 color stripes and a kawaii face) to claim the $1L hunt prizes or $25L - $50L hunt exclusives. Their website will guide you with landmarks, hints, and the prices, and you'll notice that many of the designers are offering multiple prizes so you'll want to follow those hints carefully. I love Cheeky Monkey Hunts and am always impressed by the creativity of their designers :) Also the theme really warms my heart, so I like to think of these offerings as virtual hugs to everyone who picks them up or sees one of us wearing them. We have until the end of the month to enjoy all this cuteness :)

Let's start out the evening with the $1L hunt prize from ART & FASHION called PLAYFUL AND FREE OUTFIT. Isn't this sweet shade of orange just perfect for summer? I immediately thought of a creamsicle, then a refreshing glass of orange juice on a bright sunny day :) The minidress and matching strappy platform boots are each provided in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh body sizing. There is always beautiful artwork on this brand's clothing, and for this treat it is a young lady on a swing. As a kid I spent lots of time enjoying the exhilarating feeling of the wind through my hair and the sensation of flying as I swung back and forth on a swingset with my best friend.

Don't leave the store just yet, as we have a flirty $50L exclusive offer to find here as well! Their ART & FASHION - HEART IN HAND OUTFIT includes the dress and boots in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique bodies, along with an adjustable choker with double hearts on it. The dress features open sides, soft ruffles, and a silhouette of a woman holding a large heart above her head. I'm absolutely head over heels (puns intended) for the boots and the way the straps cross just above the knee :)

Blink2Wink has a dreamy $1L prize for us called Ichika Set CMH, and I absolutely adore it! The corset and skirt leave a sexy little sliver of bare skin between them, and both come in original and PBR texturing so you can enjoy this no matter which viewer you are currently using. They both fit Legacy, Lara X, Reborn, Squish, and Waifu mesh bodies. The clouds and hearts add whimsy, just like the ruffled layers of the skirt, and I love the way the corset is laced up in the front. Just a note that there is an exclusive offer here as well, a whole fatpack of colors of this fantastic style!

Next we pop on over to Artistic Eye, who are generously offering a few different exclusive offers like this $50L ~AE~ Kawaii Top. Just look at those cheerful faces on all the cuties pictured on the front! ♥ I can't resist the gorgeous shade of blue either, or the fun bows on both sides. There are sizes for Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Lara X, Petite X, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies, which is a nice range of popular sizes. I've paired it here with the white pair of Delizio jeans from their marketplace fatpack freebie, but you can easily wear this with just about any bottoms in your inventory that suit your personal style. Of course for this time of year, shorts are very tempting :)

The jeans also came in handy for my final look of the night, which is our SweetSass Kawaii Panda Top for just $1L. The adorable faces on the clouds and sun above the panda remind me very much of the one on the hunt object, and how precious is this little cub who is nibbling on some tasty bamboo? The t-shirt has cuffed short sleeves and the hemline falls just above the navel, looking very summery and flattering :) Pick up this prize and you'll receive Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Kups, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Petite, Maitreya, Maitreya Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Prima Busty, Prima Petite, and Reborn mesh body sizes.

My plans tomorrow will prevent me from having time to prepare a blog post (photos and notes take longer than one might expect, and doubly so with my poor vision) so I am taking the evening off after running around for a large chunk of the day. We have at least 3 stops planned, and I wouldn't be surprised if that becomes more ;) I hope you're all having a pleasant day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

OUH LALA Event

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we are enjoying another event loaded with free gifts - the OUH LALA event :) I'd never been here before, so it was especially fun to have the opportunity to stop by a new-to-me event and find that they have lots of great sales offers and gifts. They did not need a group tag, so these are yours just for clicking the brightly colored gift boxes at most of the displays.

My first look of the evening is our AnaSTyle - ILARY RED gift. It's got a great layered look of a short sleeve tee with ripped fishnet long sleeves, all in a deep crimson that has me thinking of my birthstone (garnet). There are sizes for Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, Waifu, and Star mesh bodies. It falls just above the natural waist, and we can pair it with so many wardrobe staples like skirts, shorts, leggings, pants, etc. For example I've gone with the Delizio jeans in white, from their marketplace freebie fatpack :)

We also can pick up a duo of flirty shirts from BlondeQueen. Their BQ::Shirley Crop Top:: 2 Mixes Colors consists of the pink apple and pink strawberry tops, each in sizing for Erika, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Peach, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. They are not only cropped short but have a low dipped neckline to accentuate our cleavage, which will also highlight any necklace we might choose to wear with these. 

Next I get my flirt on with the RAVEN COUTURE - Mela Dress. This thoughtful gift includes dress and string (panties) to fit Lara X, Legacy, and Reborn mesh bodies. The image on the front reminds me of a few things at once, since the red balloons are an IT hallmark, but the black and white striped suit whispered Beetlejuice (but just once, not three times) to my brain. The girl wearing it has beautiful platinum waves and glowing blue eyes, with striped branches or tree roots behind her. I'm such a fan of single sleeved looks in SL, and the side slit on the skirt is another playful feature.

I simply couldn't resist the *SO* Chic Summer 2 Dress - Retro Summer gift, so of course I had to share :) The design on the fabric reminds me of an 80s themed sim Xan and I visited once, very Miami Vice with neon colors and steamy hot atmosphere. The formfitting tank dress is provided in sizes for Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Lara X, Petite X, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. It might be PBR textured because it does seem to be reflecting the lighting in my room.

My final look is certainly PBR, as it is labeled as such :) The B! Fashion - Beso Boho - Scarlet Damask gift is a lovely halter dress with a very classic and timeless pattern, while the style is that of a modern sundress. There are Lara X, Petite X, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Reborn, and Waifu mesh body sizes included. Special note - this gift has a group gift script in it but set to 'none' as the group, so you'll need to have no group tag active at all to claim it. At the top of the list of your groups, "none" is the first option, and that's the one you need :) I know it sounds odd, but I've encountered this randomly before and was glad that there's a workaround. If they do change it to the event's group tag, that is free to join.

I'm not feeling so well right now (stomach) which could be from stress because isn't everything lately? My glasses are ready but I will not be able to get there until Friday before dinner at my parents', so that would be the potential stress if the problem isn't the food I ate earlier. I think the news about contaminated food got me a little paranoid, even if there were no raw fruits or veggies in what I ate. Otherwise the day was quiet and warm, and I can't stop yawning. I hope you're all having a beautiful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
