Hiya everyone! Tonight I have more selections from The Wash Cart Sale for us to see, since with dozens of carts offering so many bargains, there is plenty to appreciate there. There are also many exclusive offers yet to see at DAZZLE, so I am pleased to share a couple more of those tonight too. Finally, we begin taking a look (or several) at group gifts from Beautiful Dirty Rich, who are celebrating their 10th anniversary in SL by providing a bounty of gifts for the members of their free group.

My first look features a dress from Tiar, and a jewelry set from Luminesse, so we are visiting two carts to start. The dress is the Tiar Sweet Olie Dress, in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique. There is also a HUD provided with 4 texture choices, three colors of the animal print on the right and a denim with transparency on the bottom to produce that sexy bare right hip. The Tiar mainstore link can be found here, and the ending credits brings you right to their cart. My earrings and necklace here are the LUM-Valmira Koral Set Orange Titanium, with an adorable mermaid blowing bubbles among the waves and orange pearls. Click any of the jewelry pieces to access their Options Plus menu that lets you adjust size, brightness, shine, and glow among the possibilities. The Luminesse mainstore is located on the Wash sim near their cart, which you can reach by clicking the ending credits link.

Another don't-miss cart at The Wash is that of De'Fient Unicorn, with plenty of fun summery selections at affordable prices. The dress I am enjoying here is their *DU*Unicorn Dress, a shimmery treat for just $5L. It includes sizes for eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and a Classic version too. On the right I added their delicious *DU*Mermaid Shake, which you can find at their cart for a single little linden. Give it a click for a menu of 5 animations, so you can drink or hold it however you wish. It certainly belongs on your social media feed! The mainstore link for De'Fient Unicorn can be found here, and I'm sure you can guess where to find your limo directly to their cart...that's right, the credits at the end :)

Next we head to DAZZLE, whose Galactica theme this round has been delightfully represented by these offers from Face Paint. On the left is their Dellan Jumper Texture 1, one of three versions available exclusively at DAZZLE for $250L each. The jumper is provided in sizes for Belleza (Isis and Venus), Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique, with the sleeves separate in 4 standard sizes (XS - L). There are also three renditions of the Queeza Gown Set, the first one of which I am wearing on the right, only at DAZZLE and $275L apiece. The gown is included in sizes for Hourglass, Physique, and Maitreya mesh bodies, plus a fitmesh version for classic avatars. The collar is a separate attachment too, and the above-the-knee boots come in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique, with a HUD that lets you choose from 12 colors. These are fantastic offers, and fit the monthly theme so well.

Beautiful Dirty Rich, or B.D.R. for short, celebrated their 10th anniversary recently, so congratulations to them for the impressive milestone! Their group is free to join, and they have a pack of 10 gifts for group members among other previous gifts still available. This is one of the 10 newest, called *B.D.R.* Bonita -Set- (GG Edition). The top and skirt each come in eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizing, with a HUD that lets you switch between two textures for each piece. Take a look at the HUD and you will find options like gloss and tint too.

For my final look, I was still in a floral mood so I was pleased to find this charming *B.D.R.* Brisa -Dress- (GG Edition) among the 10 newest gifts. It has gorgeous hot pink tropical flowers blooming on a blue leafy background, and has a HUD that lets you hide the top or skirt portions of the dress. Other features can be found on that HUD too, and the dress itself is provided in classic S, M, L sizes along with Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine versions. If you are wondering what other gifts they are offering, stay tuned as I will be happy to share more soon :)
I figured out what was causing my increased inability to sleep, so that should be remedied and things will return to my version of normal soon ;) I have also been pondering how the people in this neighborhood are positively addicted to setting off fireworks several nights in a row, even during thunderstorms, and it really makes me wonder why. That isn't even a judgment, that is genuine curiosity because I would expect after a few consecutive nights it would lose some appeal. It has been early enough in the evening that it does not affect my sleep at all, but I do worry about the animals (stories of terrified puppers abound on social media) and PTSD sufferers who are upset by the noise. I am surrounded by trees, so I hear them but cannot see them at all. *shrug* Oh well, I do hope you're all having a wonderful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Hiya everyone! This morning I am pleased to show you a few of today's Advent calendar gifts from various generous designers, either needing a free group tag to claim or no tag whatsoever. Something else that makes me very happy is the monthly DAZZLE event, whose current theme is Dazzling Holidays in Glitter. As you can imagine, those talented creators have put impressive effort into interpreting that theme in their personal style. You have just over a week left to visit, so be sure to get there before the 25th to select some exclusive offers for yourself.
Our first Advent calendar visit is to ML Fashion, where you can claim this flirty gift #17 for free just by clicking the correct box. The dress comes in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique, as well as a classic fitted version. The built in corset style belt really highlights the black floral images wrapped around the short asymmetrical skirt.
For the [WellMade] Advent calendar, you will need a free group tag active, and there will be a stocking on the tree-shaped calendar for you to click each day to claim your gift. Today's is this Lilliet Dress with a blouse layered beneath a sleeveless jumper dress (worn as one piece) that also includes a HUD with two seasonal colors of plaid to choose from. The dress comes in fitmesh S, M, & L, plus Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP sizes.
Moonstar's gift for today is both festive and flirty, called *V* Merry Merry Dress. You don't need a group tag, just give the right date a click on their Advent board and you will receive this dress in sizes for eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and a standard fitted version. As an extra little bonus, there are white lace panties provided too, in appliers for Maitreya, Omega, and Slink.

Now it is time to visit the DAZZLE event, where Face Paint is offering 4 colors of their Elle gown exclusively for us to enjoy. The Red can be seen on the left, with the arm warmers that are included, and on the right I am wearing the Gold without the arm warmers just so you can see how that looks. The sequin patterned top fits the theme wonderfully, and the skirts have a dark elegant tone to them. Each color is $250L, and includes gown and arm warmers each in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique. The other two color choices are blue or silver, so there is something to flatter everyone.

While you are visiting DAZZLE, be sure to stop by the Sweet E's display so you can check out their many offers, including the exclusive Animated Let it Snow off Shoulder Sweater Capri Scarf set. For $199L you will receive the adorable sweater with falling snow texture and two baby seals beneath the words "Let it Snow" as well as the harem pants, each in sizes for standard, eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Ocacin, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine. Also included are the warm scarf in Belleza, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and Unrigged versions, plus the ankle tie shoes in Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink High sizes. You can enjoy this look with or without the scarf, although I find it to be a perfect match. I do get creative with mixing and matching sometimes :) I am such a fan of Sweet E's, so this is an exciting opportunity to get an exclusive item of theirs.
It was a fairly typical Sunday here, other than the shift from evening posting to morning posting. I expect to do the same tomorrow, as long as my eye symptoms stay stable and I don't need to rush off to the ophthalmologist again. It is frustrating to have a diagnosis of no retinal tear yet, but it is still quite possible...I feel like I'm walking on eggshells and being overly cautious. I hope you all have a beautiful Monday, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Hiya everyone! Tonight I have some gifts to share from Free Dove, not mini hunt prizes but some of the group gifts from various designers you can find on the well organized shelves. There are mens and womens clothing, accessories, skins and shapes, and even hair...just peek at the signs above each display to see what it holds. All you need to claim them is your Free Dove group tag (Blessed by a Dove) active and give them a click. We will also be exploring the July round of DAZZLE, with its wonderful theme of Islands of Fun & Fashion. There are so many exclusives and special offers to see, and the setup is absolutely gorgeous as always.

My first look is the Free Dove gift from *Lurve* called Siren's Flower Fitmesh Mini - Blue. It comes in standard fitmesh sizes plus Freya, Isis, Venus, eBody, Maitreya, Ocacin, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine versions. The top has an open lace but the flowers cover what needs to be covered perfectly :) The attached belt adds a pretty touch too.
This is our Free Dove gift from *Stars*Fashion*, their lovely Niyamh which is perfect for summer. The top and skirt each come in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique, and there is a HUD included with 10 color choices for each. The straps and bow on one hip add to the tropical vibe, and the floral design looks pretty against all the different color options.
This timeless classic is the Free Dove gift from MH Unique Design called Emilia Dress. It comes in fitmesh standard sizes along with Freya, Isis, Venus, eBody, Maitreya, Ocacin, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine versions so just about everyone is covered. The style is so elegant with its bare shoulders and slender attached belt, and you can either add color with the accessories you choose for it or go monochrome.
Over to DAZZLE, we have this striking Island Dress Texture 2 from Face Paint, which is one of three textures you will find there. Sizes for Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique are included, and each texture is just $200L. The matching hat is from the Face Paint Island Hat with Braid Texture 2 Mixed Shine Pack, which includes Brunette 3, Black 1, Blonde 3, Blonde 4, and Red 3 which is the one I am wearing above, all for $250L.
Another offer you can find at DAZZLE this round is the ~Mani Pedi~ Toes in the Sand Polish, which I have been wearing in all the photos tonight and am delighted to share a closer view here. There are 3 HUD choices (Maitreya, Omega, or Slink) for $90L each, with 8 glossy shades that will match or complement many of your favorite outfits. These bright solids are especially handy if your summer wardrobe has a lot of patterns, since you won't have a conflicting design on your nails. Isn't it amazing what a quality manicure can do for our look?
I hope you are all enjoying your day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
