Hiya everyone! Tonight's post brings more selections from the Wash Cart Sale and its Spring is in the Air theme, open now through Valentine's Day. There is something for everyone, and with all cart offerings priced at a mere $10L each you cannot afford to miss this shopping experience. I am also very fond of group gifts, and TRS Designs has some terrific ones that I am pleased to share with you. Their group is free to join, and I recommend giving the midnight mania boards a click while you're there (no group needed) for even more treats.
First we take a look at two of the selections from the Battle Fairy cart, which for this round is featuring their Cara Set in several lovely colors. On the left is Cara in Sky, and on the right you can see it in Lime, each just $10L. The cropped top and tulip skirt are each provided in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique, and if you purchase multiple colors you could always mix and match them. I love the lacing in the back, and the texture of the skirt really helps it stand out. Battle Fairy is part of the cart sale's home team, as their mainstore is located right here on The Wash sim.
Our next stop at the Wash cart sale is the HANAU cart, where you can pick up bargains like their Plaid Lace and Leather Black dress seen on the left, or the Iridescent 1 Dress on the right. The Plaid Lace and Leather includes sizes for Belleza Freya, Isis, Venus, eBody, Maitreya, Slink Hourglass, Slink Physique, and a Fitted version for classic avis, and the Iridescent comes in Freya, Isis, Venus, eBody Classic, eBody Curvy, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and a Fitted version. Both contain plenty of sizes for a wide range of shapes and bodies, and each style is offered in various colors or textures on the cart. The HANAU mainstore link is here, while the ending credits contain the direct location to the cart, as I usually do :)
This group gift from TRS Designs called Linda Dress Black is certain to turn heads! It includes sizes for Altamura, EVE Pulpy, EVE Slim, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP. That side opening held in place by chains is impressive, and there are plenty of other fantastic details that make this a terrific gift.
Another group gift that will add sizzle to any wardrobe is TRS Designs' Cyber Dress Fireworks Gift, which comes in the same sizes as the previous dress I showed you. This one is even more revealing, as the entire back consists of a few studded straps to hold the front in place. The material in the front has a holographic effect to it, perfect for showing off fireworks and creating a few of your own.
For my last look of the night, I went with something you can save for Valentine's Day or wear whenever you want to impress someone special. This is the TRS Designs Samantha Lingerie Love Group Gift, and it includes the top and panties each in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Slink Hourglass, Slink Physique, and TMP. With red hearts on sheer black for the nightie, and a heart outline on the front of the panties (more like a G string actually) this outfit has romance written all over it, so enjoy!
Busy day tomorrow, but it should be a good one, so I don't mind the busy part. The plan is to get a nap before going out to a few places, then watch a hockey game, then more nap. I wind up napping more than actually sleeping, but it adds up to a decent amount of rest. I hope you all have a fantastic weekend ahead, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Hiya everyone! Tonight I am pleased to share some more group gifts with you, this time exploring those available for the FabFree group, short for Fabulously Free in SL. The inworld group is a companion to their spectacular blog, which has been guiding people towards bargains for over a decade. With their free group tag, you can claim many gifts from a wide range of designers across the grid, and the notices are filled with helpful information about freebies and bargains just as the blog is. I do make it a point from time to time to show you some of the gifts to remind you to check or introduce you to them, whichever the case may be, because I feel like all residents can benefit from being fabulous and free.
We start with the HANAU FabFree Gift Cheongsam, which comes in a standard fitted version plus Belleza Freya, Isis, Venus, eBody, Maitreya, Slink Hourglass, and Slink Physique sizes. The pattern is a pleasing mixture of colors swirled together on the slender column dress, somewhat reminiscent of autumn but lovely for any time of year, really.
BlackRose has a delightful FabFree offer that is just right for winter, their Ivy Sweater Dress Crystal. With snowflakes and tiny hearts knitted into the design, and a subtly striped cowl neck to match the hem and sleeve cuffs, this is such a pretty look that I might also try with tights layered beneath for variety. The gift includes sizes for standard, Freya, Isis, Venus, eBody, Maitreya, Ocacin, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine, so a full range of possibilities for your individual size and shape.
There is something classically flattering about the color blue, maybe because there are so many shades that make for beautiful clothing. This gift from I.M. Collection is certainly a good example, and what a generous gift it is! Wear your FabFree group tag and you can claim the dress in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and a standard size, along with the matching shoes for Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink High feet. I do appreciate having just the right shoes to go with a dress or outfit, gives it that extra pulled together feeling.
HEAVEN & HELL is offering a shimmery treat for FabFree group members, their Dela Harness Gown Silver Gold. The elegant gown and fun harness are joined into a single piece, in standard Small, Medium, and Large, as well as Belleza Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Slink Hourglass, Slink Physique, and TMP versions. To add to the versatility, there is a HUD included for the gown with gold and silver options plus a tint color wheel, and a HUD for the harness part that offers 16 colors and a tint color wheel. You can really get creative with this gift, and sparkle at any party.
One last look for the evening, this is our FabFree gift from MOoH! called Sigrid Outfit. She is a single mesh piece with the look of two, provided in standard fitmesh sizes plus Belleza Isis, Maitreya, and Slink Physique versions. There is also a HUD included with 6 color choices for the shirt, any of which look perfect with the black leather of the attached pants. When you land at the store, there are two buildings with a walkway in between, follow that back to the group gifts area rather than turning and entering either building.
I am a little bit slow tonight, partly from being distracted by plans for a big weekend coming up. RL birthday celebration time :) I will have company arriving tomorrow and staying until Sunday or Monday, which means my blogging time may be affected so I might have to shorten or skip a post or two. No worries, I will be having a great time but thinking fondly of all of you too. There are exciting things on the SL horizon, such as a Wash Cart Sale starting in less than a week, so please do stay tuned. Meanwhile I hope you are all having a nice day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Hiya everyone! Tonight I am hopping back over to the Womenstuff Hunt, one of the All 'Stuff hunt paths that are here for the entire month of January. Each path has a different color t-shirt as its hunt object, the Womenstuff being the red ones, and they are either $0L or $1L for the prize hiding inside. There are some that are exclusives for the hunt so will only be available for one fun month, so I urge you to get out there and explore :) The website has hints and locations in case you feel the need to skip a store, and it indicates which are hunt exclusives too. I usually keep any hunt's website open while I'm working on it, since they usually wind up coming in handy. All of tonight's prizes shown happen to be free rather than dollarbies, so that makes this especially affordable and well worth figuring out those hunt hints.
My first look is a sexy mini from S&B Fashion, their Hot Mini Dress Leather with Lace. This beauty comes in sizes for Belleza Freya, Isis, Venus, eBody, Maitreya, Slink Hourglass, Slink Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, Tonic Fine, and standard mesh sizing for classic avatars. There is also a handy HUD included with 6 color choices, two of which you can see above. The very sheer lace has a nice floral pattern on it, and I like that the tiny trim on the bottom of the hem changes with the leather skirt section so you look very coordinated.
Our offering from Sweet E's is their Ivory Floral Babydoll Dress, a romantic little number that starts with a mesh bralet in standard, Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink sizes. Next there is the flexi skirt that occasionally flutters even when you are not moving (I caught it mid-flutter on the right) and pretty bow for the front, and the tan floral panties are provided on appliers for EVE, Maitreya, Omega, Slink, and TMP. I think the dress would make a really pretty top if you layered it over a pair of jeans instead of the panties, just for variety.
Find the red t-shirt at Prism Designs and you can claim this Solana Sequin Dress with Sash in Blue. The dress comes in fitmesh standard sizes plus Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink, while the sash is included in standard mesh sizes. I think it looks beautiful with or without the sash, and with it being a separate attachment you can decide each time you wear it which way you prefer for the occasion.
This fantastic Sabrina Red outfit is our prize from Adrenalized, one piece with the look of two terrific separates. It is included in 5 standard, 5 fitmesh, Belleza Freya, Isis, Venus, eBody, Maitreya, Ocacin, Slink Hourglass, Slink Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine sizes. One thing that really caught my eye was how the studs on the top are a perfect match for the ones on the pants pockets, very detailed.
For my final look of the night, I visited HANAU and their free prize made me Roar Like a Tiger! That is actually the name of this flirty mini, as I'm sure you guessed, and it is provided in a standard fitted size plus Freya, Isis, Venus, eBody, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizes. I do enjoy a nice sweetheart neckline, and lacy trim on a bold print is a fun touch.
Not much to say about my day, it was chilly and nothing special, neither bad nor good. I am looking forward to the weather getting a bit warmer soon, closer to average will be a nice change :) Hope you're all having an awesome day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Hiya everyone! Tonight I have a medley of dollarbies and freebies to show you, starting with hunt prizes from the Surf Into Summer Hunt which is a dollarbie gridwide in which you'll be searching for a small surfboard. While hunting I picked up an SLF&O group gift at one of the hunt locations, then visited another store with a free group join and lots of previous group gifts available. It was a productive way to spend some relaxing SL time for sure.
The first hunt prize I'd like to show you is this beautiful Daisy Dress from Easterling, where just a single linden dollar will get you a host of sizes including standard, Freya, Hourglass, Isis, Maitreya, Physique, and Venus (no alpha layer as they cater to mesh bodies) along with the remarkable HUD that features color changes for everything ;) There are 19 choices for the dress itself including 12 labeled semi-transparent, and a few from the top row do show nipples which is partly why I turned for a side view on the right. The pretty belt is completely customizable as well, 10 choices for the belt and 11 for the flowers, even 8 for the dots in the center of the flower. Have fun exploring all the possibilities, I sure did!
We can't surf into summer without fresh new beachwear, and this flirty outfit from Darling Haute Couture definitely fits the bill. Their prize is called *DHC* Heather, and includes the bikini top and lovely patterned skirt each in standard mesh sizes. As usual I am loving all the little details, like the metal links holding together both top and skirt.
Don't teleport away from Darling Haute Couture just yet, because the front desk area has an SLF&O group gift that will make for a terrific summer as well. This is *DHC* Pamila and comes in standard mesh sizes for each the top and bottom, and I love the fact that whether worn on soft white sands or crystal blue waves, or even the clear peaceful waters of your favorite pool, the bright rainbow shades on here will still catch your eye as well as everyone else's.
I stumbled upon a store called HANAU that I recall under their previous name of A.R.C. & F.N. and am excited to see their rebranding. Their group is free to join, and there are several previous group gifts in addition to the current one available. This icy dress called Whiteout is one of the treasures from the previous gift box, and includes standard sizes and a Lolas applier along with a great bonus of a Slink nail applier so your tips and toes can match perfectly. You can see from the inset, I was in a stiletto nail mood today for some random reason, but I think it gives them an icicle feel so I am glad I went with it.
I have a hair note tonight, since I was in a blonde mood but still really want this Truth Hair gacha style in my usual gingers. The round of Epiphany they were from has ended, but I visited Truth's mainstore and the gacha machine is there waiting for us. I tried once really quickly and still no luck, LOL, but it is good to know where these fun braided styles can be found now that the event is behind us. The one machine has this and two other styles, and for $50L a pull it's addictively fun!
I am so ready for a peaceful day at home tomorrow...I am feeling a bit sentimental about the Memorial Day holiday since I've had many family members and friends in the military and respect their sacrifices. I try not to be political on here, I'm not highly political in general, just offering support for those who have lost a loved one. I'm the daughter of hippies but the granddaughter of a WWII veteran, it's an odd mix. Whatever you are doing this weekend, have a great time and be safe. Magical magpie hugs to all!!
