Fright Fest with Off-Line & Havoc

 Hiya everyone! Tonight is a glimpse at some of the many wonderful free gifts from the Fright Fest Hunt by Off-Line and Havoc stores. It is at a different region than either of their main stores, aptly called Fest, and it is a fantastic creation that is loaded with nods to the Potterverse. I know, the author has been divisive lately, but the world she invented lives on in many hearts with people's own twists and theories giving it continued fresh life. Several different years/books/movies are referenced here, as I saw the Chamber of Secrets, posters of Sirius Black from year 3, dementors galore, and several Triwizard cups. We are in search of skulls with a candle burning atop them for the Off-Line gifts, and a carved pumpkin with hovertext (making it easy to distinguish from decorations) for Havoc, and each need the pertinent free group tag active to join. I did a lot of tag changing, lol, but it was well worth it as you're about to see :) There are hunt keys from each store on signs near where you'll land, so you can see the 20 prizes from each. Off-Line has fun bodysuits, while Havoc has various components of a nurse's outfit, all of which are suitable for Halloween.

My first look shows off the lovely "Off-Line" x "Lovegood" Bodysuit / Softy on the left, with the Cobalt version on the right. As you can see, these have built in stiletto heels, and some have white skeletons on the front while other color versions are completely solid. Each of these is provided in sizes for Kupra, Lara X, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh bodies. 

The Caramel version (left above) is one of the solid colored ones without the skeleton print, and it is a really warm autumnal color that I couldn't resist sharing :) The bold shade on the right is called Oxblood, and it also a 'plain' solid version in the same sizes as the others.

 I started randomly just picking color names that caught my attention at this point, LOL, so please enjoy the "Off-Line" x "Lovegood" Bodysuit / Treuse on the left and Mauve on the right. I did wonder before trying it on if treuse was short for chartreuse, and it does look to be the vivid color I know by the longer name. The mauve has a dusky quality that does feel rather magical, don't you think?

Here I decided that if I was going to show off the Star color on the left, the most logical choice for the right side was the Sky version :) I do think the namesake Luna Lovegood would approve of both colors, and probably the whole lot for that matter. Both Star and Sky have bones on the front, as you can see on the hunt key. 

For my final look of the evening, I'm sharing 4 of the Havoc gifts found in their pumpkins, and reminding myself of a music video and album cover ;) The Havoc. Nurse Dress. Purple is on the left above, with the Red version on the right, both of which are pulled open to show one breast and one name tag, with cross shaped buttons down the front. Each dress (plus white, bloody, and pink versions not shown) is provided in sizing for Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, Peach, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. I've paired each with the matching color Havoc. Nurse Gloves, and they fit the same mesh bodies' hands for easy coordinating. The other prizes as seen on their hunt key are nurse's hats and pill shaped purses, so be sure to have a peek and find all the pumpkins you want.

So, did we all have a fun Monday? *eyeroll* They aren't necessarily most people's favorite day of the week, but we've gotten through it and the rest of the week is ahead with plenty of possibilities. I have more Shop&Hop treats to share, but that's not even close to the only thing to look forward to this month :) I hope you're all having a pleasant day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Happy Uber-Versary

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we are helping the Uber Event celebrate a huge milestone, their 10th anniversary round :) How do we celebrate such things in SL? Well, quite often that involves gifts for the visitors, and this is one of those instances as there are shiny teal giftboxes at nearly every display for $0L with no group tag needed. There was one (not shown) set for sale for $10L and one set to a group (also not shown), otherwise all are free with click or purchase for zero. From the landing zone there are two openings with paths that don't connect, so be sure to check one side fully then walk through the landing area and over to the other half :) It's worth it as you'll see, and I have always been delighted with every visit to Uber and their team of talented designers. 

My first look is two gifts combined that made me whisper "ooh yeah!" out loud when I tried them on together :) [The Forge] Arwen Top, Black Lace is a fantastic gift of bra and top each in sizing for Lara X, Legacy, Perky, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. We can wear the strapless bra alone or with the sheer lace shrug, and did you notice the double chains across the back? Those are holding the see-through bra in place quite nicely. Then I added our *CK* Runway Skirt FATPACK gift from Candy Kitten. This fun denim miniskirt is cut low on the hips and has lots of terrific options. There are eBody, Legacy, and Maitreya sizes included, as well as a HUD with 15 choices for the skirt, 15 colors for the belt, and 2 metals. Three of the skirt fabrics have the images you see above on them, with the rest being solid denim hues. 

Have Unequal is offering a lovely free gift called [HU] Hadley LongShirt_Stone&White Dots !! . At first glance you might think of a retro shirt dress, but look closer and you'll see the flirty details :) It fits Legacy, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, and Petite X mesh bodies, and includes a handy HUD with fabric or wool textures (wool is on the left above, slightly striped) and lots of other choices - 18 textures for collar and cuffs, 6 button colors, 13 for the belt, 6 metals, and 6 harness metals. There are also options to show or hide the belt, the harness, and even the lower portion of the dress so the entire skirt can go poof if you wish. 

Next we see another very versatile treat, the [seeker] Aly GiftPack. This playful dress comes in sizing for Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Lara X, Petite X, Legacy, Perky, Petite, Reborn, Juicy, and Waifu bodies, with panties in similar sizes (Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Lara X, Legacy, Reborn). The HUD provided has 4 color choices for the main dress, 8 for the border, and 4 for the panties, with several hide/show options for various portions of the outfit. For example, I have the midriff section hidden on the right above :) 

Summer is on its way out for the year, but it can stick around all year long in SL and especially if you're wearing this cutie! The Carol's Store - Izzie Dress Blue looks just as beautiful coming and going, thanks to the crossed straps tied sweetly in the back and the ruffled empire waist. There are Erika, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Khara, Kupra, Lara X, Petite X, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Momma, and Reborn mesh body sizes. The floral pattern looks so pretty in blue!

My final look of the evening is a generous gift with lots of sex appeal, the Havoc. Remi Dress. Fatpack. The style looks like a slim fitting dress slit open in the front, tied very loosely to show off cleavage and midriff, and layered over a miniskirt of the same length as the dress. We receive sizes for Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Peach, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies, as well as a HUD with an impressive 38 colors to select from. So many amazing choices!

It was a fairly typical Monday here, oh and I wanted to mention in case anyone else is having crashing issues with Firestorm and the new PBR release...with Xan's advice I did a clean reinstall over the weekend and found folders and files for 4 different versions on my PC from prior installs (not clean). I was really hopeful that things would be better, and there was a slight improvement as far as not crashing the first night even after testing with lots of teleporting and loading crowded places. My lag has increased considerably though and I seem to be rebuilding my entire inventory each time I login, as though I'd cleared cache (which I did not!) but then this morning I crashed for the first time since reinstalling. So where does that leave me, you may wonder? Pretty much waiting for Firestorm to release a better version, while considering the possibility of rolling back to the prior version if things get too rough. I hope you're all having a pleasant day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

The Fifty Anniversary

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I'm happy to invite you to The Fifty event, whose current round is their 2nd anniversary celebration. This means nearly every designer has a generous gift for all members of the FLF (Fifty Linden Fridays) group, which is free to join so these treats won't cost you a single red cent. There are so many discounted offers here, from fashion for guys and gals to accessories (jewelry, hair, skin, etc.) to home decor so we can redecorate our living space if we wish. Naturally I am focused on female fashions in this post, so please allow me to tempt you with a sampling of the many gifts :)

My first look is our ELEVEN - Luna Romper gift, which is a flirty style in a beautiful shade of lavender. It is provided in Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Reborn, and Waifu mesh body sizes, hugging every curve. It's held in place by the most delicate, slender straps in the back, which definitely caught my eye. 

AURICA brings some sunshine into our day with their Milli Outfit YELLOW gift! The vibrant hue immediately made me smile, and I love having the mini tank dress and open cardigan sweater each in sizes for eBody Reborn, Legacy, Perky, and Maitreya bodies. This way we have the choice to wear the dress alone or with the sweet jacket, although I'm thinking we wear both to our destination then slip off the jacket as one would do in RL with outerwear. 

Next I slipped into the lovely LEROY - Victoria Dress - Pattern 1 gift, feeling slightly Valentines themed but mostly just romantic :) There are Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Reborn sizes of this cutie, all with that sparkly red sash beneath the midriff opening. It matches the elongated red hearts so nicely, and red always pops on a white backdrop. 

There are several shirts that just begged to be shared, so I randomly picked out two for this photo :) The beauty on the left is our -Pixicat- Dara Top - DragonBlack gift, whose unpacker HUD lets us pick from Legacy, Perky, Lara X, Lara X Flat, Lara X Petite, Reborn, Juicy, or Waifu mesh body sizing. Just unpack the one you need and hang onto the HUD to access other sizes in the future if you wish. I'm also a huge fan of our No. 19 Apocalyptic // Chela Top gift on the right, a cropped short sleeve shirt in navy blue with cute bows on the sides and an image on the front that looks like a glass bubble holding an ecosystem inside. Almost like a terrarium, but encompassing more? It gave me a peaceful almost mystical feeling when viewing it :) This gift consists of sizes for Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh bodies. 

My final look of the evening is the charming Havoc. Vanilla Dress. Cranberry gift, from a store I am quite familiar with and grateful as always for their generosity. This uniquely crafted dress has one bare arm/shoulder and one long sleeve, with more intriguing asymmetry happening in the skirt that dips from one hip to the other ankle. We receive sizing for Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh bodies in this lovely color. I must admit, the combo of vanilla from the dress name and cranberry from the hue sounds like a delicious hot tea flavor!

It was a quiet day, and do we remember when I mentioned a few weeks ago that I'd start taking an extra day off from blogging each week for my mental health, then didn't do so? 😕 Well because of a podiatrist appointment tomorrow that has me freaking out (just for the ride itself), I am taking tomorrow evening off from blogging. I'll be heavily medicated to handle the car trip, and will probably need some extra sleep after, so no time to prep the photos and notes for a blog post anyway. Just think, it'll be almost March when I return :) I know I will be safe in the long run, it's just a bit of a struggle these days to stay calm when thinking about going anywhere in a car. This doctor mentioned that his mom also suffers from agoraphobia so he is quite sympathetic, and that is reassuring to me. Meanwhile I hope you're all having a peaceful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Off-Line and Havoc Go Bananas

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I'm switching gears to the final week of the Sunkissed Summer Hunt, brought to us by Off-Line and Havoc. This is the 8th round of hunt prizes hidden each Friday, and I am guessing that these will be available until the upcoming Friday but I would still get there as soon as you can, just in case :) Each week has had a different hunt object, and they chose a banana as the fruity image this round. They are for the group members for each store, and both groups are free to join so all 6 treats this week are completely free. Havoc still has all the previous gifts out to find too, with examples of the various hunt objects above the sign near their landing area so you'll know what to look for. Of course, if you see a random picture of fruit on a wall or chair or the ground, LOL, you'd probably realize it is out of place and therefore a hunt prize or something worth clicking :) I have truly enjoyed this multi-round mini hunt and am a big fan of both stores, so it's been an absolute pleasure to share.

My first look is the sexy "Off-Havoc" x "Senarra" Bikini / White, which was located at the Off-Line store and the name seems to indicate a collaborative effort. There are two versions, the original and S which is the slightly sheer version I'm wearing on the right above. Each of these are provided in Freya, Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh body sizes. The style is full of flirty details like the crossed halter strap, bold bust opening, cutout sides, and high cut legs. If you tend to wear a darker skin tone in the summer to mimic a tan, the white hue here will definitely show that off :)

The other two prizes at "Off-Line" were a perfect match, so here they are paired together :) The dress is the "Liah" Dress / Nude treat, a bodycon mini dress with curve-hugging seams down the front beneath a cleverly crafted peekaboo bodice. We receive sizes for Freya, Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh bodies, all for free when finding this banana. Meanwhile the "Off-Line" x "Maison" Boots / Nude come in the same body sizes (foot sizes anyway) and the same light taupe shade as the Liah dress. The chunky heel and cozy height just above the ankle make me think that this would work just as well for a winter outfit as a summer, or any other season of course. Versatility is always appreciated here ♥. The boots are for mid-height feet settings, which was always my favorite even if the high are easier to find shoes for.

Over at Havoc, this prize is revealing enough that I busted out my 'modesty flowers' in Photoshop again ;) I have been a bit loosey-goosey with skirting the NSFW line lately I think, so randomly opted to err on the side of caution here. If you want to see just how revealing, find that banana and try it on yourself :) The Havoc. Sangria Bodysuit. Camel captured my attention with not only the fantastic lace, but the multiple ties down the entire back of the legs. Speaking of legs, did you notice they are partway down the foot too? That bottom strap is on the arch of the high feet, and this might be rough to wear in RL but is a breeze in SL. There are Freya, Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Peach, and Reborn mesh body sizes included in this hunt prize.

I tend to favor cool colors like blues and purples, yet found myself immediately drawn to the Havoc. Kimberly Top. Yellow prize and would in any color. The flirty lacing is as fun a detail as the short crop length, don't you think? It fits Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Peach, and Reborn bodies, and will go well with lots of different pants, shorts, jeans, or skirts that you have waiting in your inventory. I went with my favorite marketplace gift from Delizio, the white pair from their fatpack of jeans in system/BOM layers and appliers for Omega and Maitreya. 

My final look of the night is the comfy casual Havoc. Ely Dress. Rust prize, which strikes me more as a tan or light brown than rusty orange shade that could be from my lighting settings. The t-shirt dress with shirt tied around the waist are linked to wear as one piece, in sizing for Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. The top reads "Essentials Fear of God", then the sleeves have writing in a bold Gothic font that looks like Chro... and ...earts so I thought of Chrome and Hearts but not certain. Don't forget to pick up the other rounds' prizes at Havoc if you haven't already, not to mention the group gifts inside if you don't already have those lovely goodies.

Weekends are never quite long enough, are they? This morning when I was in SL, about an hour before I started taking these pics/notes, my power went out briefly and the generator didn't kick in, then the internet didn't return right away, so it was a dash of chaos that interrupted my SL time with Xan briefly too. The weather wasn't even a problem so it really was just random bad luck. Could have happened to anyone, it was just my turn ;) Otherwise I kept busy and have the next few blog posts planned, more Uber gifts being among the treats I'll be showing off this week. I hope you're all having a lovely day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Summer Still Sunkissed

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I've got some more Sunkissed Summer Hunt prizes to share from Off-Line and Havoc, who have teamed up for several weeks' worth of treats for the members of their free groups. Each week has been a different hunt object, 3 at each store, and this Friday they both set out an image of blueberries for us to find :) Off-Line swaps them out each week but Havoc still has the prior treats out for you to find, so be sure to look around if you haven't claimed all your havoc-y goodness yet. I also picked a group gift from Off-Line to show you that I hadn't yet, one of the two behind the front desk which is very near the monthly gifts I shared recently. There is always something new and delightful at both of these shops, so visiting each week has been truly a pleasure.

My first look of the evening is our Havoc. Pearl Set. Army hunt prize. The cropped top and low rise maxi skirt are each provided in Hourglass, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh body sizes. The color is certainly reminiscent of an army green that has had both practical and fashionable uses over the years, and is especially flattering for ginger haired beauties ;)

Wow, does the Havoc. Blaze Bikini. Plum ever live up to its name! 🔥 We'll be stoking passionate fires when we wear this sexy hunt prize for sure, with a strapless bra whose cups are flame shaped and a thong that has a very slender flame both front and back. There are sizes for Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Peach, and Reborn mesh bodies for each. I don't necessarily associate dark purple with fire, yet as a fan of the color I must say I am enjoying it :) 

A third pile of blueberries provided the charming Havoc. Bunny Bae Bodysuit. Sky when I found and clicked it. This shapely suit has soft bows atop each shoulder, and the legs are cut extra high for a thong in the rear. It fits Freya, Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Peach, and Reborn mesh bodies. Pastel shades of blue like this have always appealed to me, and it reminds me of my high school class ring which I haven't seen in at least 20 years. Catholic school, girls got one stone color (aquamarine) and boys got another (ruby), no custom styles other than engraving inside. It sounds weird in hindsight but most of us were pretty pleased with how they looked.

Over at "Off-Line" we have more blueberries to find, so it's fitting that two of them provided these bold blue treats. The "Tayla" Crop / Royal Blue top looks incredible paired with the "Tayla" Skirt / Royal Blue prize, and they each have two versions for a little mixing and matching. Both prizes include sizes for Freya, Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh bodies each in versions 1 and 2, a.k.a. with or without white printing. The Gothic font for Babygirl on the top looks great with the flourishes on the ends of the double crosses, doesn't it?

My final look of the night is easy to find as you'll be exploring the store anyway with their group tag active :) When you go into the main entrance you'll see their front desk, and on the wall behind it is this "Off-Line" x "Tayla" Suit / Fatpack gift waiting for us. It is one of 2 that are not swapped out monthly, and how much do we love their generous fatpack gifts? ♥ The bodysuit comes in sizes for Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn bodies, with a HUD offering 28 solid colors and 7 terrific patterns. I chose cherries on the left as a nod to the fruity hunt objects we' had (cherries were last week if I recall) but I am just enamored with all of the possibilities as well as the unique styling of the bodysuit! Wrapped and twisted, it covers all the essentials while providing plenty of sex appeal. 

It was a mostly good weekend here, and I'm wishing the same for all of you, of course :) I didn't go anywhere or do anything all that exciting, but I've started taking a medication that might help reduce the anxiety. For now it's just making me very sleepy, but that'll calm down soon enough I think. I'm eager to login to SL soon to see about getting the Genus head update, as mine is one of the two released today (Classic 001). The changes will be intriguing, and I'll be trying on lots of skins with it to see what suits it the best. If we have to go there in person to pick it up though, I can't even guarantee I will get in yet so fingers crossed. I hope you're all having a lovely day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Off-Line and Havoc Treats

 Hiya everyone! I'm back with more treats from the weekly Sunkissed Summer Hunt from Off-Line and Havoc, who have coordinated to bring us free prizes each Friday for a sexy summer season. There should be 2 more weeks yet since the posters are listing the 25th of August as the ending date, and the current hunt object is a sweet pair of cherries connected by the stems. With each store's free group tag, you can claim these treats at absolutely no cost to yourself, other than the group slots and the time spent seeking the week's fruit item of course :) Each location has 3 prizes per week, with Havoc adding them so the prior weeks' treats are still available, and Off-Line is replacing them so you'll want to be sure to visit each and every week. Now last week I'd mentioned that Off-Line's 6 free monthly group gifts were looking awfully tempting, so I'm giving you a sneak peek of one tonight and the rest will be tomorrow's post. It was helpful to be able to show off one of the hunt prizes, as you will see...they are all versatile as always.

So I started the looks with one of the group gifts I just mentioned, our "Off-Line" x Fake Society / "Stassie" Megapack. It's still quite warm where I am, but I know that's not the case for all of SL and the cooler temps will be here soon enough :) This cozy gift includes unpacker HUDs for each body size - BBL, Freya, Hourglass, Kupra, Kups, Legacy, and Maitreya. These each hold our top, jacket, pants, and boots in black, brown, grey, nude, pink, and white versions. I'm wearing pink and grey on the left, nude and brown on the right which are fairly similar so they work especially nicely together. The jackets have contrasting trim that adds visual appeal, and the boots have a bold chunky style that will keep your mesh toes nice and toasty :) 

Next I borrowed the white pair of pants from that Stassie gift, and used it to share the "Off-Line" x "Moore" Top / Rose hunt prize. The color made me smile, and the sheer style looks great with the cropped hem, turtleneck, and delicate frills on all seams. It is notably see-through but the natural shade of my nipples blended into the rose color, making it less obvious than a lighter or contrasting hue might. You probably have plenty of BOM bras or similar tops that you can tuck beneath it for modesty if you desire, or even some pasties for a playful look. There are Freya, Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh body sizes provided.

If you want full coverage that is still utterly sexy, be sure to find the cherries that hold our "Off-Line" x "Kiarla" Bodysuit / Black prize! It's got that perfect amount of shine to make it look like it would squeak with every touch, and it hugs every curve from bust all the way down to the ankles. The gift includes sizing for Freya, Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh bodies and is sure to look smokin' hot on all of them :)

Over at Havoc, I think their designer was in the mood for lots of sunshine yellow to suit the sunkissed hunt name :) The Havoc. Rachelle Dress. Yellow is a daring sheath dress with front zipper and lacing on two slits that run from bodice to hem, which falls just above the knee. We receive Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh body sizes of this beauty. Admittedly I don't often accessorize my looks for the blog to keep things simple and focused on the featured fashions, however in this case the handbag I'm wearing is also a hunt prize and an ideal match. It's called Havoc. Nia Handbag. Yellow, and there are left and right hold versions (left seen on the left side of the above image) as well as the larger version to the right that is held in the right hand but without a built in pose. I really like having multiple options like that, and the silver hardware even matches the metal on the dress here so it is a match made in sunkissed heaven.

My final ray of sunshine for this evening is our Havoc. Mika Dress. Yellow hunt prize. The long sleeved, short hemmed style is open in the front to show off a bra which could also be a bikini top to go with the summery theme. There are sizes for Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh bodies included in this uniquely crafted gift. I'm grateful for all of them and can't wait to see next week's!

This weekend went by fairly quickly, and I am eager but nervous about contacting the clinic tomorrow that might be able to help me with the anxiety/panic and agoraphobia. I never know what to say when I call anywhere, and this is so important that I feel like I'm going to get all tongue-tied, eeeeek. Although they must be used to it by now that people who call them are bound to be nervous, so it's not like they would think poorly of me. I tried going out earlier but it was very uncomfortable and I'm still feeling anxiety aftereffects, so not quite failure but I can't really call it successful either. Geez, you can almost hear the swirling of my brain from all the random thoughts, huh? LOL, sorry, I have to find reasons to laugh to try to maintain any positivity. I hope you all had a nice weekend and are enjoying your day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

More Sunkissed Summer

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I'm excited to share some of this week's Sunkissed Summer Hunt prizes from Off-Line and Havoc. For several weeks they are offering 3 free prizes each to their respective group's members (both free to join) just for finding the fruity hunt object of the week. This round it's a juicy pineapple, and they were hidden on Friday so we still have several days until the following set is hidden. I've noticed that Havoc keeps the prior weeks out and Off-Line does not, so you will see the other prizes at Havoc too and can grab them if you'd missed any. These aren't too terribly hard to find, relatively easy for a hunt without hints :) So even if you aren't experienced at SL hunting, I have confidence that you can find these generous goodies and will be freshening up your hot weather wardrobe easily. I'll be bringing you all back to Off-Line very soon to share their group gifts for the month of August too, always a pleasure.

For my first look, I am wearing the playful "Off-Line" x "Sideline" Set / Cherry hunt prize. The top and skirt are each provided in sizing for Freya, Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy F, Legacy M, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh bodies. The color is simply stunning, especially with the white double striped contrast down each sleeve and sides of the skirt. Love the bared shoulders, ruffled sleeves, and lifted left side of the top that titillates (yes, naughty wordplay intentional) without revealing a nipple. 

I kept the skirt on from the first image but switched tops for the "Off-Line" x "Vox" Top / Forest prize, inadvertently creating a Christmas in August color scheme :) The long sleeved blouse is cropped then decorated with a band around the back that attaches on each side of the front, with one breast pocket for added visual appeal. Our prize fits Erika, Freya, Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh bodies.

Over at Havoc, one of last week's watermelon slice hunt objects contains their Candy Bikini. Sky prize which I hadn't shared yet and couldn't resist. The bra and thong are separate pieces in sizing for Freya, Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh bodies, and are decorated in 3D sweet treats. If you look closely you can see the white sticks of the lollipops beneath the edge of the bra's fabric, and there are hearts and other pieces of candy stuck to the bra and thong. No room on the backs for them though, just the fronts, as the back of both is slender strings ;) 

So you get out of the pool and need to wrap something around yourself to dry off and warm up a bit...might I suggest one of this week's prizes? That would be the Havoc. St.Claire Sweater. Purple, draped around the back by partially worn sleeves at just above elbow height. This cozy looking treat can layer nicely over close fitting mesh or any BOM/applier type clothing, and is provided in Freya, Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh body sizes. 

Before unpacking my final look of the evening, I was very intrigued by the name, which is Havoc. Bedsheet Dress. White. It sure lives up to that name, being styled like we've been interrupted during a clothing-optional nap (or other bedtime activity...) and wrapped the sheet around ourselves like a sexy toga! Then the rear view blew me away with its gathered and perfectly shaded ripples, beneath a plunging back for equally flirty view from behind as in front. Find the pineapple and you'll receive sizes for Hourglass, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh bodies.

It was a decent weekend here, other than some intermittent storms that are returning tomorrow afternoon from what I understand. I  have been trying to find TMP size clothing for free for my alt, as I'm still determined to set her up as much as possible without spending any lindens as an experiment, and it is definitely challenging. The roughest part seems to be hair for her that I truly like, which is making me feel like I have champagne tastes in SL hairstyles ;) I paid 'her' a few lindens to be able to use vendors that require payment that's refunded, and she doesn't go anywhere or speak to anyone so I try to keep her dressed modestly and low-key to not attract attention I guess. I wonder what people think when she lumbers by with her freebie AO and mismatched outfits since I can never seem to find TMP shoes for free, LOL, and if they happen to catch that her rez date was several years ago so she should look decent by now. I only log her in a couple times a week at most lately, and had left her alone for most of her little life so she is rather awkward. I know how that feels, lol, but I do enjoy putting some effort into her lately whenever I have spare time even if sometimes that's just 15 minutes or so. We don't generally expect other forms of entertainment (tv, movies, video games, travel, etc.) to be free, so realistically SL does deserve a portion of our entertainment budget, just not necessarily much for a rarely used alt. Oh well, I hope you've all had a lovely weekend and are enjoying your day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Sunkissed Saturday Sale

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we have some fun variety, one hunt at two locations and a Saturday Sale bargain. The hunt is the Sunkissed Summer Hunt from "Off-Line" and Havoc, with new prizes each Friday at each location in a different summery hunt object. This week it is a kiwi, well one whole fuzzy brown fruit with a slice in front, and they are relatively easy to find at each spot. Just click them with the group tag for each store active, both of which are free to join. The previous weeks' prizes (some of which I shared last week) are still available at Havoc, while the ones at Off-Line are replaced each week with the new ones. So be sure to stop by each week and stay in the groups :) As for the Saturday Sale offer, that would be from Entice and is available at the discounted price until this Thursday the 27th, so don't let the name fool you into thinking it was just one day of deep discounts...Entice keeps them up for several days so anyone who has a busy weekend can still enjoy the sales.

My first look is the "Off-Line" x "Hazel" Dress / Chocolate hunt prize, one of their trio for the week. It comes in two versions, and as you can see on the right above the V2 has a subtle pattern while V1 is solid rich cocoa. They are each provided in sizes for Freya, Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh bodies. The bodice has a round cutout that is tied up top with a loose bow, very pretty touch on both textures.

Over at Havoc, one of the kiwi images contains the Havoc. Vicki Set. Rose hunt prize, free for all of their group members. Its top and skirt both fit Hourglass, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh bodies, and can be worn separately as well as looking terrific together. The soft color is a nice choice for the summer, and I really appreciate the lettuce edging of the hem and neckline.

Turn up the heat in the Havoc. Dallas Dress. Black prize! There are Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Peach, and Reborn sizes included, all with that daring style. The front and back are both laced ever so slightly, with lots of skin peeping through, especially that cheeky rear view ;) 

The third Havoc prize from their kiwis is the Viola Dress. Sky. It is one piece that is included in sizing for Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh bodies. The style is like a long sleeved shrug layered over a bra and high waisted skirt, with the shrug extending to the palms with the thumbs peeking through. The skirt has a slit on the left thigh, for even more visual interest :)

My final look this evening features the Entice - Send Me An Angel V2 lingerie set for the Saturday Sale. There are 8 individual colors that can be yours for $75L apiece, or you can choose the fatpack for $299L that includes 2 bonus exclusive colors. Al of these choices include bra, panties, and wings to fit Freya, Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya/Lift, Petite/Lift, and Reborn mesh bodies (Lift is apparently a mod from Ecru Couture for Maitreya bodies) and a collar that is unrigged and has a resize HUD to get a great fit. If you go with the fatpack, you'll receive a HUD that lets you customize the bra main/bows/lace, panty main/waist/ribbons/bow/lace, wings top and bottom, and the collar each separately. The look on the left above is one of the two fatpack exclusives, and I simply couldn't resist sharing it :) The lace is so flattering, and the wings are a great accessory for roleplay or romance. 

Another weekend is behind us, and it was a very quiet one here. The weather was decent though, hot but not stormy which was a nice break from the thunder and lightning that have been so frequent lately. My anxiety is still keeping me at home, so that is still a work in progress as it probably will be for some time. I had been looking into videos that I can listen to while I try to sleep, soothing things like guided meditation for anxiety and trouble sleeping, and I have a few saved that I find relaxing. You never know what will help until you try :) I hope you've all had a wonderful weekend and are enjoying your day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
