Midweek Marketplace

 Hiya everyone! Tonight's post features several gifts we can find for free on the SL marketplace. We don't even have to teleport anywhere to obtain these wonderful freebies, just open a website either inworld or on our PC. I searched for "Maitreya NOT demo", browsed to women's apparel, set search parameters for price between 0 and 0L, and sorted by newest first. You could change the word Maitreya to a different body brand of course, or something you are craving like dress or denim or lingerie. The "NOT" means it should omit the word following it from the search results, but some people get around that by typing it out D E M O in the name or putting an underscore before it like dress_demo so you will still see a few in your results. It is my pleasure to share my marketplace tips, and now to share some of my findings to tempt you :)


My first look of the night is the RosaChiclete Store - Set Vic Core - Maitreya outfit. It is rigged specifically to fit the Maitreya Lara body, and consists of the dress, shoes, and hair bow. We can adjust the bow's position but not size since it is rigged mesh. The outfit calls to mind a certain famous mouse in a way, but much more mature and sexy :) The dress has a delicate gold chain draped across the back, holding the deep V in place, and I love the way all the edges are trimmed in beautiful lace.


Another generous gift I found is the Top & Legging - Classic from Foxton. There are Legacy, Legacy Classic, and Maitreya sizes each for the top and leggings, and a HUD with 6 color choices that tint the entire outfit at once. The formfitting tank top is trimmed in the main color of the leggings, which have white stripes down each side. This is a fun look for whenever you are feeling sporty. 


ALB is offering their MISSY dress shirt GIFT for free to everyone who visits their marketplace store, and it is lovely! The tank style dress has a slight V neckline and diagonal hem, in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies. The taupe background is stamped with brighter colors like pink and orange, and I saw flowers and a peace sign in the embossing. So pretty!


Next I slipped into the Magic Story Jeny Dress, a striking long sleeved mini in Legacy and Maitreya sizes. The unpacker HUD lets you click either of those brands to receive a folder with the dress, a thong, and a 4 color HUD for the dress. The thong is modifiable so we can edit and change the color that way if we wish. That hemline is just begging to frame your favorite necklace, or maybe you find find a new one right there on the marketplace :)


My final look this evening is the Dress Zebra - Maitreya gift from Khally Fashions. It is designed to fit the Maitreya body as the name implies, and the unique style with one slender shoulder strap is a beauty. I am a big fan of animal prints that let us duplicate the patterns and color palettes found in nature. 

It was a quiet day here, and I've been having fun trying to find out as much as I can about what March will hold in SL :) There are usually some hunts and events with fresh new rounds, and with Spring and Easter around the corner I expect we'll find some seasonal goodies to freshen our wardrobes. I'd been wearing lots of sweaters and sweatshirts, then romantic red took over my daily looks, but it's almost time for soft pastels and florals. I hope you're all having a fantastic day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Tree Treats from Cosmopolitan

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we have more of the Cosmopolitan event's Advent tree gifts, all available for free with their group tag (free to join) active, until the round closes on the 7th of January. Just click each glass ball or bauble on their tree near the front entrance, and as I mentioned last night it helped me to derender the tree and then do the same to each bauble after I clicked it to keep track of which I'd claimed and see all of them easily. Please keep in mind that there are dozens of gifts and this is just a sampling, so you will find plenty of exciting gifts of all sorts like home decor, accessories, and more. Much gratitude to each and every designer participating in Cosmopolitan and offering a gift for this extra round so we all have more time to claim them :)


My first look of the evening is an elegant gift from Hilly Haalan called [hh] Evany Dress. The single long sleeve is contrasted by a slender strap that crosses over to join it on the left side, and a wrap style skirt that shows flashes of thigh. There are Erika, Freya, Isis, Kupra, Kups, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite mesh body sizes included, as well as a HUD with a whopping 50 colors to choose from! Such a thoughtful gift, not to mention versatile :)


Next I wrapped myself in the Cherry Up! Twiggy Mini Dress @Cherry. gift, and who can blame me? :) The style is fun for this time of year since that bold red will pop against a wintry background, yet it shows off our long legs and a hint of cleavage. The gift includes sizes for eBody Reborn, Erika, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite mesh bodies. 


Seniha is offering their alluring Kandy Dress // Fatpack as the gift on the tree, and it is quite the fatpack indeed! The dress, sleeves, and string (panties) each fit Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite bodies, and the HUDs are what makes it a fatpack. The dress and sleeve HUDs each have 30 solids, 30 stripes, and 15 prints to choose from for the main dress/sleeves and the trim, and the string HUD offers 30 solid colors. This means lots of mixing and matching, and since the sleeves are a separate piece we can easily wear the dress without them if we prefer. How will you wear it first?


My next look is the unique Foxton Berlin Outfit - Fullpack gift, with the appearance of a sheer blouse, tank top, belt, and partial pleated skirt wrapped around shorts, but all combined in to one fun piece. It is provided in eBody, Legacy, Perky, and Maitreya sizes, with a HUD that offers 10 colors each for the shirt, skirt, belt, top, and shorts. This means we get to do lots of mixing and matching, and the bright hues among our options made me think of the neon trends of the early 80s that I may have indulged in as a young girl :) There is writing on the right side of the blouse, but these old eyes couldn't quite read it...I did a lot of layering of blouses over tank tops in the 80s too so that might be contributing to my nostalgia even if this is a very modern take. 


It's almost New Year's Eve, do you have your outfit picked out yet? If not, be sure to click the bauble from .:{Sofia}:. containing their Eluney Star Gown Dress Purple since it is a stunning formal look! The gown with overskirt is a beautiful shade of purple, reminding me that it is a color for royalty, and will fit Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn mesh bodies. I think this was a fitting choice for my final look of the evening and the year. 

It is so weird to realize that this is my last post of the year, and I always find myself pondering what I would like to see for the fresh start of each new year. We all need more peace and health I think, as many of us had really rough years since 2020 or so. That is my wish for all of you, a year filled with whatever you needed more of in 2022 whether that is love, friendship, peace, luck, improved health for you and your loved ones, financial stability...all of you deserve the best that life has to offer. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend ahead, and wish you all a happy and healthy new year. Many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
