Gifts for MGSN Group

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I've got some fantastic gifts to share for the MGSN group, which stands for Maitreya Gifts, Sales and News. That doesn't mean that the gifts will only fit the Maitreya body; as a matter of fact I am wearing Legacy tonight :) The designers do usually offer multiple sizes in the gifts, so it is always worth checking. The MGSN group is currently free to join, so that group tag is all you need to claim these wonderful treats (with the exception of one linden $ for one gift) for a chic start to your weekend.

My first look appears to be several pieces, but it's actually all combined into one easy to wear outfit :) The ELITE - FERNANDA - GIFT is just $1L and one mesh piece, in standard mesh sizes as well as Belleza, Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, Reborn, and Slink mesh body versions. The soft shades of blue are so peaceful, from the plaid button-down to the solid tank, right on down to the faded denim shorts. I think sandals or sneakers would look particularly nice with it, don't you?

Something about the Yalin Fashion ASHA gift just screams weekend to me! Perhaps it's the sexy lace side panels, which are sheer enough that without pasties or nipple covers (which I am wearing) I believe there would be some peekaboo action happening ;) The zipper in the back is such a fun detail too, showing just how to get in and out of this strapless beauty. There are sizes for Erika, Kupra, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Nhumana, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies to fit lots of the popular brands. 

I also visited Delicatt Couture, where I found the flirtatious Csilla BodySuit as our MGSN group gift. It has a sheer lace top (remember I'm wearing nipple covers, yours will show through if you aren't!) and solid lower half with softly ruffled edges which I think we used to call lettuce leaf edging :) We receive Altamura, Freya, Legacy, Maitreya, Petite, and Slink Hourglass sizes, along with a HUD that offers 12 lovely colors. I usually say that bodysuits in SL can double as swimsuits, but this one is giving more of a lingerie-only feeling to me. You can certainly wear it whenever and wherever you wish if you feel differently, as long as the rules of your destination agree that is :)

Next we continue with lace, thanks to the gorgeous InViDiA_LiNe Gift. The dress and bolero are separates, each in sizes for Kupra, Lara X, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Reborn, and Waifu bodies. The included HUD has 3 colors each (red, black, white) for the sleeves, lace, and main dress, so we get to do some mixing and matching which is always exciting :) The bolero is optional because it's a separate piece, so just let your mood and personal style help you decide which way to wear it each time.

My final look of the night is our .:KF:. GILDA GIFT from KyaraFashion. This beautiful floral skirt set has a built in belt atop the high waisted skirt, and a low cut tank top with similar heart shaped adornments. They each come in Erika, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, and Waifu body sizes. There is a fun little secret too - an "undress me" script is built in so we can let others strip our outfit off if we wish. I suggest checking the settings before heading out in public to ensure that permission is only granted to those you choose :) Any time I'd accidentally stripped in public (always a crowded store too, LOL) it was because I somehow mistakenly replaced my outfit with a random box from my inventory, and it's been over a decade so now I'm afraid I might be overdue...karma, you didn't hear this!

My day was pretty good overall, especially dinner with my parents (frittata, ham, veggies, rice) when we also took the opportunity to celebrate my dad's birthday. My housemate threw a curveball at me, his friend with whom I have an unpleasant relationship with is coming tomorrow and Sunday to watch sports together. I strongly dislike having him around with all the asthma-inducing cat dander he brings (and noise, and drunken antics) but he isn't actually sleeping here so it will just be evening disruptions. Work trip, they paid for his hotel, can't blame him since all that's available here is a sofa. We're still going to the farmers market in the morning, and I'll be getting tasty food there for my weekend :) I hope you've all got a nice weekend ahead, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

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!!

Malus Park Fall Festival

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we are visiting the Fall Festival at Malus Park, which is a fantastic shopping event with exclusive offers and a gift for $25L or lower at each booth. The theme is autumn and the region looks magnificent, but of course with Ariana of Ari-Pari doing the landscaping I expected nothing less :) You can have a peek at the shopping guide too, if you'd like to get an idea of what tempting treats await. Naturally my post features some of those bargains and exclusives, making my heart feel happy and pumpkin spiced ;)

My first look of the evening is the charming [Ari-Pari] Ainsley Boho Outfit, their $10L gift that feels like an homage to Stevie Nicks :) The blouse and skirt each have unique hemlines that complement each other so well! We receive sizes for Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, and Reborn bodies for each, along with a HUD that offers 15 options for each piece. The blouse has solid color choices and the skirt's pattern will match them perfectly, or you can mix things up just for kicks because life is too short to follow fashion rules.

If you wondered what their exclusive offer for the event is, please allow me to share the snuggly [Ari-Pari] Tessa Outfit. This sweater and skirt combo can be yours for just $250L, and it is quite versatile with a HUD to choose from 19 sweater colors and 18 skirt patterns. The added sweater color is black, and the houndstooth print on the gently pleated skirt is a chic classic. Our sweater and skirt each fit Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, and Reborn bodies.

Psyche's Pstyles definitely got the memo that fall is all about comfort, as shown by their $200L exclusive Cozy Morning Outfit. This one-piece set has a solid colored V neck top and patterned capri pants (coffee mugs with sayings like "morning survival device" and "energy booster!") and comes in Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, and Reborn sizing. There's also a HUD provided with 6 colors for each, which I always appreciate and immediately begin playing with ;) Pastels for fall are an unexpected pleasure that I didn't even realize I needed.

Don't forget about the gift box at this booth, so you can pick up the Psyche's Pstyles Cute 'n' Cozy Dress for just $1L. We know how much I love bargains, and this is a perfect example of why :) There are sizes for Freya, Hourglass, Kupra, Kups, Legacy, Perky, Perky Petite, Maitreya, Petite, Prima Busty, Prima Petite, and Reborn bodies tucked inside that little gift, so lots of your favorite bodies can be wrapped in this seasonal pattern. I noticed the umbrellas first I think, but the pumpkins and mushrooms weren't far behind...leaves, clouds, and cherries also got my attention, and naturally the warm colors.

Your fingertips deserve a new wardrobe too, so be sure to visit the [ReM] booth for your manicure dreams come true. Their [ReM] Marble Amethyst Nails are on the top of the image, and you can see the gorgeous [ReM] Noir Sunflower Nails on the right. The marble amethyst really does remind me of a geode, and the noir sunflower design looks like what you'd get if you painted your RL nails shiny black and added some gold flakes to the tips :) Each of these mesh nail sets comes in sizes for Erika, Gen X, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn bodies, just hide your nails with the body's HUD and add the corresponding size to your outfit. There are other choices there too, so you are bound to find just the right set for your personal style.

I'm running behind tonight (support group session a few hours ago) but I wanted to mention that I won't be blogging tomorrow evening because of all the plans I have in RL for the day. At least 3 stops are planned for my outing, which sounds long and hectic. That leaves me no time for SL unfortunately, other than logging in and checking group notices. I hope you're all having a blissful 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!!

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!!

New Releases at Yasum

 Hiya everyone! Tonight's post is an invitation to the new releases section at Yasum Design, where the fantastic designer offers one color of each for just $1L. We can find which one by looking for a purple balloon animal above it, and the displays to check have a heart shaped balloon floating above them. Now that you've got the details on how to track the dollarbies down, I'm excited to show you some of the current discounted offers :) I'm a huge fan of this brand and really admire their original creations, very stylish and easy to wear. Casual but classy, flirty but elegant, I feel like you can find something to suit nearly any mood. I'm certainly not going to turn down the chance to save this much money and come home with a terrific new wardrobe!

My first look is the one I'll probably be wearing all weekend, the Yasum*Stacy-Set*Rose dollarbie. She's a sweet style with lace trim and a snug fit, whose top and shorts will each fit Lara X, Petite X, Legacy, Perky, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. The metals HUD provided lets us choose from 5 metallic hues for the various rivets and clasps on both pieces. Pink is one of my favorite colors, so this pale shade suits my tastes very well :)

We can also look stunning in the Yasum*Jenny-Set*Moss outfit for just $1L. The cropped top is designed with the hands hidden and in the pockets, so you will need to use the enclosed alpha layer and hide your fingernails. The cargo pants come in the original version and one for the belt, so that's a top, 2 pants versions, and a belt add-on in total :) All of those come in sizing for Lara X, Petite X, Legacy, Perky, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies, along with a metals HUD offering 6 choices for all the metallic bits and pieces. This one feels so playful, and it'll be autumn before we know it (how is it August tomorrow already?) so this outfit is going to come in extremely handy for the weather changes.

The Yasum*Jena*Berry outfit has me humming to myself...I believe in miracles, where you from, you sexy thing? The cropped top has a high neck and long sleeves, and works so well with the low rise leggings and their flirty distressed style. I forgot I was wearing physics so when my avi turned to show the rear, my booty had a little bit of jiggle (through one of the openings) that made me laugh :) For just $1L you'll receive the top and leggings in Lara X, Petite X, Legacy, Perky, Reborn, and Waifu mesh body sizes. Now the challenge is to decide if I want to wear a belly tattoo, back tattoo, or navel piercing with this look. 

Next I changed into the Yasum*Shiho-Set*Peach outfit, which is intricately designed to turn heads wherever you go. It consists of the top, panties, skirt, and boots, all in sizes for Lara X, Petite X, Legacy, Perky, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. The top's HUD offers 6 metals each for the mesh and metal, while the boots HUD has the same 6 options for mesh and buckles. Now by mesh they mean the sections in the panties and knees, mesh like a screen door rather than fitmesh like the whole outfit is :) The skirt being all straps is such a fun detail, like a looser version of the mesh inserts that give it all a breezy cool feeling. This pale peach is pretty similar to the rose color from the first outfit I showed above, and I do adore them both.

My final look of the night is two pieces that are meant to be together - the Yasum*Tender-Dress*Sky and their Tender-Corset*Sky. They are just $1L each, and the dress looks amazing with or without the corset added :) Unpack the dress and you'll find Lara X, Petite X, Legacy, Perky, Reborn, and Waifu sizes inside, and our corset includes coordinating Lara X, Legacy, and Reborn sizing as well as a metals HUD with 6 options. I can also imagine wearing the corset with some BOM lingerie, like a favorite bra and panty set with some thigh high stockings. 

I'm a little groggy from very interrupted sleep for no reason, no noise or storms or anything like that. So I hope everything I've said here makes sense :) Dinner at my parents' house was really nice as usual, and I was lucky that their very shy birds decided to let me handfeed them a tortilla chip. It's all about trust, and these two have almost none for most humans. They're okay with my dad since they seem to trust men more than women, but my mom and I usually get ignored or avoided. The farmers marker is closed tomorrow (and next weekend) so I'm just randomly going out a few other places in the afternoon. There are always errands to run, and it should be decent weather other than being cloudy. Not too hot and not stormy :) I hope you all have a wonderful weekend ahead, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

SL Frees and Offers

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I was inspired by finding one amazing SLFO (SL Frees & Offers) group gift, and it just led into a whole adventure of seeking out more to share too :) The group is free to join, and there are so many talented designers who send notices to the group to update us of sales, new releases and the like. They are also able to offer a gift for group members at their store, which is what I'm sharing a handful of this evening. You know by now how much I enjoy the variety of this type of group gift, and am thankful for all of the stores who take part.

My first look is the charming Patty CK Gift #3 dress, and it's actually $1L rather than free. Obviously I took one look at that great denim texture and decided it was well worth it, lol, and hoping you do the same. The dress comes in Legacy, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Nhumana, Reborn, and Waifu mesh body sizes. I love the way the skirt is lifted on the left thigh and tied with a loose bow, very flirty detail.

Over at Violet Skies, I found the lovely Xara Dress - Black as our SLFO group gift. The style is a very flattering tube dress with unique pattern that looks like sequins and beads. There are sizes for Erika, Kupra, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Prima, Prima Petite, Reborn, Waifu, and Star mesh bodies provided. There are so many ways we can accessorize this, with black or silver heels coming to mind first. Anything beaded, footwear or jewelry, would be a nice touch too.

Next we have the stunning Intisl red dress & black boots gift, which you can claim by clicking the black gift bag on the floor next to the photos of the dress and boots (beneath the SLFO sign). It pops up a menu to choose your size from Lara X, Legacy, or Reborn, but you can also click again and pick another size if you regularly wear more than one body. It would be tricky to match the exact shade of red, so black is a terrific choice for the footwear, and these add an edgy vibe that I am definitely enjoying.

GET THE LOOK is offering their Maria Outfit upstairs as their gift for us, and it is a summery dream :) The bra top and slit shorts are each provided in Legacy, Legacy Free, Perky, Lucybody, Maitreya, and Petite mesh body sizes. The shorts almost look like a skirt at first glance if you catch a glimpse of the side openings, but a front view makes the drawstring bow more noticeable. It really makes me think of beach vacations, even if it's just a virtual daytrip.

For my final look, I kept those shorts on to help me show you the ::MM:: Leaky Cauldron Women's cropped top gift from Max Magic. This short hoodie comes in sizing for Freya, Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, Hourglass, and Physique bodies, with a HUD that offers 3 background colors for the "Leaky Cauldron" take on a popular coffee shop's logo. I feel the urge to reinforce that while I love the Potterverse and the way it brought fans together, I do not support the way its creator thinks or behaves towards a segment of the population around her. The fans have done amazing things to expand and breathe more life into her concept, and that is a special thing. 

I've just finalized my plans for tomorrow, which will prevent me from blogging in the evening because they won't leave me time to prep any photos and notes. I'll be back Friday though, and haven't yet decided what I'll be blogging so it will be a surprise to all of us ;) Sometimes I feel like midnight mayhem would be as apt as midnight magpie for the name of this blog, LOL, but I am encouraged that I actually look forward to leaving the house sometimes. I hope you're all having a lovely day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
