Summertime with WOH3

Hiya everyone! The Women Only Hunt 3 is certainly living up to its Summertime theme with a wide variety of generous prizes, and I am happy to show you a few more this evening. As I've mentioned the past few posts, you will need to head to the hunt office to grab your free HUD which is the one and only source of all LM's to navigate the hunt path, and the hints for each hidden coconut half are on the HUD as well as on their website. There are 79 stores with just two skips, so it is an impressive sized hunt and as you can see, the prizes are well worth the journey. Some stores have been new to me while others are fondly familiar, so I appreciate this hunt very much and have at least a day or two remaining of picking up all these terrific prizes.


My first look of the evening is this outfit from .epoch. that consists of the beach please top and millenial shorts, each in Hourglass, Physique, and Maitreya sizes. The "beach please" saying makes me giggle, since it could be taken completely innocently as a request to visit the shore, or a more sassy interpretation. This color is a subtle favorite of mine, a timeless classic that is not overly bright or sweet.


Maybe you are craving the beach, but want to make a different sort of impression, a darker one...find the hidden coconut half from Oubliette and you can claim their Skelli Vava Swim Set. It starts with the swimsuit itself in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizes, and includes the Onyx Lennon Round Specs I am wearing here as well. Also included but not shown (because updos and hats do not play well together) is a black straw floppy hat. 


This playful dress is our gift from Nerido for finding their hidden coconut, their Millie Dress which includes two sizes: Maitreya and Belleza Isis. The fruity pattern is a fun one, and I really like the cheery colors for summer. I paired it with our prize from Essenz called Cuba WOH Gift, which includes sizes for Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink. Also included is a HUD with 3 color choices (two shown above) and 4 labeled options which seem to be two sole colors and two metals. The yellowy gold looks terrific with the Nerido dress because of how well it matches the belt, but these beauties will add a spark to any outfit.


One last look for the evening, I feel like a modern Marilyn Monroe in this gorgeous dress from Petite Mort. Their White Serene Lace Dress comes in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP, so flattering with the sheer lace layer atop the skirt and that deep V in the back. The white color really shows off my tan, too! Speaking of which, my skin is actually one of the hunt prizes, the lovely FEMMA from 7 Deadly s[K]ins. The prize includes an Omega applier for both head and body along with a shape. These are based on the AK Valerie mesh head, but as you can see it looks just as pretty on my GA.EG Barbara bento head. The sexy flicks of eyeliner and bright glossy red lips certainly caught my eye and contributed to my "Marilyn" vibe here especially, and there are a few beauty marks scattered on the face that I find give it a natural look. The skintone is called pineapple, and is a little darker than my usual inclination but also suits the summer weather quite well :) Also noteworthy, I love that the eyebrows are defined and well groomed but not overly dark, as some brows can really overwhelm my petite Barbara face and the dark blackish brows do not look quite right with my preferred light auburn hair color. All a matter of personal preference of course, and I am grateful for Omega compatibility since there are so many popular brands out there that it can work for.

Today I had my third acupuncture visit, and it is going well so far...it is not uncomfortable, I just relax and take nice deep breaths while the needles are in place, and it is a soothing place to be. Tomorrow's plans have changed once again, since nobody in my family is interested in being forced onto a shuttle bus with the drunk brewery patrons instead of being allowed to park where we have every week for over 4 years to spend scary amounts of money, so we will be going to a different market this week :) I hope all of you have something wonderful planned for your weekend, magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Black Fashion Fair and More

Hiya everyone! There are a few days left of the Black Fashion Fair, two sims full of terrific fashion, exclusive items, and some gifts for free or a linden. The event runs until May 1st, so don't delay. How about a peek at some of the gifts?

This goes to show that not all of the goodies there are limited to black. This gift from Petit Chat sure puts me in a summer mood! The top and the wrap around the bottom are mesh, and the bikini bottom is in system layers. For my nails, I went back to a great marketplace freebie from Xanthe, several colors of a lacy pattern but the yellow was a nice fit.

This may be more of what you expected from the Black Fashion Fair, hehe. The dress from Dead Dollz is so detailed, it's hard to believe it's free. I love the lace texture, and that thigh-high slit shows off the satiny inner texture amazingly. My earrings are a free gift from Maxi Gossamer, and come with a pair of single triangles as well as the triple shown. My shoes are a dollarbie gift from Essenz, and the nails are another marketplace freebie, this time from (AB). That means my entire outfit of dress, shoes, nails, and earrings cost a grand total of $1L, fantastic!!

Plastik is a consistently generous designer, and their free gift at the Black Fashion Fair is no exception. There are several boxes in there, containing everything from dresses to pants to corsets and more, each in thematic black. Above you can see two of them, the Ananke top and the Anael leggings. I am also wearing the free gift from [La Baguette] which is the smudged eyeliner....with my allergies lately, that's totally how I feel.

There are only a few days left in Sn@tch's current fishing round, which instead of an outfit (usually 20+ pieces to mix and match for several looks) is accessories grab bags. I haven't had a chance to do much fishing there unfortunately, but I did manage to 'catch' the cardigan and tutu I'm wearing in the photo above. The cardigan is #19 called Effie, and the tutu is #20 Sonia. I thought they looked really cute together and with the shirt from Plastik in the previous photo, the Ananke top. Lots of mesh there, but fortunately they seem to be playing nicely together :)

I hope you've all survived this Monday with flying colors, and that your upcoming week holds plenty of magic and joy. Hugs to all!!

More Wayward Treasures

Hiya everyone! It's time for some more amazing goodies from the Wayward Hunt, which I cannot possibly say enough good things about. Generous designers, fantastic gifts of all types, it's like Christmas and some birthdays rolled into one! Let's have a few more peeks, shall we?


I absolutely adore this outfit from NYU! This nude floral blouse and nude skater skirt are both mesh and the lovely belt is attached to the skirt. I couldn't resist showing the bow in the back, what a sweet touch. My necklace (see the little close up in the middle) is from [atooly] and is one of 2 in their prize, both puzzle pieces. I've blogged the shoes already but I do love them too, lol, they are the prize from Essenz.


This comfy casual shirt is the prize from M. Birdie Story, and the hair is also a prize, this one from Oleander which comes with a HUD for a few other 'dipped' color choices. My cute purse is one of three included in the prize from Luxe, they look the same but one has no built-in pose whereas the one I'm showing you is pose #2 (yes, you also get pose #1). The soft floral print is so pretty!


I couldn't resist this chance to show you one of the furniture prizes along with hair and clothing :) This beautiful bench is from Kalopsia and you get a menu with 10 different single person poses in it. The pillow and blanket make it look so cozy, don't they? Land Impact is only 3 for this bench. My cute striped shirt is one of 3 colors included in the prize from (MORAN), and the lovely hair is one of 3 colors of The Wicking Hair by .Olive. My necklace isn't as noticeable as I'd have liked (even if you click the photo to see it full size) so I'm glad I took a closer picture:
This oh-so-fun necklace is the prize from Moon Amore, called the Traveler Necklace, and has a wonderful HUD to change the colors of the metal, the beads, and the strings. So versatile!


One last photo for the night, here we have the prize from GAJA called Revolution Dress Basic, and it says "Face it You Basic". My hair (sorry that it's hiding the words somewhat) is the lovely gift from Moon, and comes with several color HUDs that each include glittery versions of each color. Fun!! Speaking of fun, how about my little storm cloud purse? That is the prize from Reign, and comes with a HUD to change the cloud and the edging to various colors. My lipstick is one of the 5 included in the prize from PICHI, this one is called Superstay Lipstick in Pink Plaid. It does include a HUD for TMP. One last hunt prize to mention, the nose chain, is one of several variations included in the generous prize from Keystone. You'll find a left, right, and double of each metal: dark gold, gold, iron, onyx, and silver.

A few things I did not mention, the hair in the very first picture is not from the hunt but is from a sale...Ploom is having a 50% off retirement sale, and I couldn't resist visiting :) The hair I'm wearing is Celeste in reds, and was $100L so a nice sale price for sure. Another thing I didn't mention was the capri pants in photos 2 & 3, that is part of a marketplace freebie so just give that a click in the credits below if you're interested. All my nails are from HUDs I've blogged the past two days, and are listed in the credits below.

I am pretty wiped out today so I'll wrap this up with a hug to everyone, and a wish for a magical weekend to you all!! :)

Carry On Wayward Hunt

Hiya everyone! Yep, the hunt has me earwormed with an oldie of a song, and has since I first read about the Wayward Hunt before it even started. I am finding so many wonderful prizes, and I can't wait to share some more with you tonight!

Let's start off with an adorable dress, shall we? This is the Pretty Peasant Dandey Dress from *Epic*. The hair is the prize from MINA called Daisy in pastel colors, the HUD has 5 different choices. To balance it out, I went with neutral accessories like my new shoes from Essenz, their Wayward hunt prize is called Mumbai in cream and comes with a HUD to change the color of the metal. For my nails, I went with one of the HUDs I blogged yesterday as well, from .Figure. called The Nudes Spring.

For this dress, I have a word of caution...when I went to unpack, I rezzed out a row of 6 tall thin boxes (only visible from one side) and could see the dress in 6 colors, but just right click-open only showed me one. I went into edit mode and saw there were yellow and blue prims, so had a vague idea that they needed to be unlinked. While in edit mode I clicked Build -> Unlink, and that enabled me to open each box separately. Otherwise you'll only be unpacking one of the 6 awesome colors of this prize from KELINI and that would be a big loss!! So here is their Casual Chic Dress "Amore" in Gold, but with that extra step I just explained you'll also get it in blue, green, pink, purple, and red trim. As you can see I changed my MINA hair to green, kept the neutral nails, but added an edgy choker courtesy of LE FORME. This is their spiked gold choker but you also receive a silver one in their prize. The bag is by MULIER X 1992 (listed as 1992/MULIER on the hunt blog if you want to find it alphabetically) and is called Obsidian. There's a HUD to change the hardware color, gold or silver, I stuck with silver to match the belt on the dress.

If you want something a little sexier, we have this wild number from Kaithleen's, their Satin Mini 50 Shades Dress in cheetah. Wowsa! :) I added the watch bracelet from Izzie's, a very pretty addition to any outfit. My nails are from Bella Elephante, the prize I blogged from them yesterday.

I got to show off some more accessories along with this beautiful dress from Miseria, their Orchid dress in sherbert. The lovely floral ring on my right hand is the prize from {Imeka}, their Rose Ring, and comes with a HUD to change the rose between black and white, and the metal gold or silver. My bracelet on my left hand is the prize from [BREATHE] and includes their Soothe bracelet in silver, platinum, iron and gold. The necklace from [Fetch] is called Unicorn Tears, and when you find their parcel you receive their Lover's Blood necklace also. My hair in this photo and the previous one is the prize I blogged yesterday from [Due].

Close up time, so you can see this beautiful jewelry and eyes! The eyes are the prize from Mayfly, really intriguing colors, called Luminous in Vernal. They are mesh and come in 4 different shades of the whites of the eyes, and there is a HUD included to adjust all sorts of things :) The earrings and necklace are the beautiful *League* Floral Rocks jewelry set, and includes a HUD to change the color of the metal links, and the gems can be all black or as shown with some smoky looking. I had to change hair to something that would show the earrings, unfortunately one is still half hidden but that's my hair doing that, the earring is just fine :)

Whew, that is a lot of terrific prizes!! I'm not done yet so you can expect to see more photos of the generous prizes from this amazing hunt in future posts. We're almost halfway through the timeline of the hunt, so if you like what you see then I'd suggest you don't hesitate :) Much magpie love to you all!!
