Hollywood Glamour Hunt

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we're star searching with the CMH Hollywood Glamour 4 Hunt. That's because our hunt object is a star like the Hollywood Walk of Fame tiles, with a movie film camera in the center rather than a celeb name. They each contain either a $1L hunt prize or an exclusive offer from $25L - $50L, designer's choice as to which and how many they wish to provide. Glamour leaves itself open to such broad interpretation, and the designers have done a fantastic job as always :) If you've ever known someone who always looks glam even if they are in jeans and an old t-shirt, you might agree that it is a state of mind rather than any one singular look. Be sure to have the Cheeky Monkey Hunts website open to guide you with their location links, prices, hints, and previews!

First we see the wonderful $1L GoodVibes Hollywood Glamour Casual Tank prize. The pretty teal fabric has a playful pattern of things like popcorn, film cameras, and music notes with the word Hollywood scattered about. We receive sizes for Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, Waifu, and Star mesh bodies. I really like the way the hem is cropped but fluttery, so not an overly snug fit but very flattering.

Just right for the upcoming cooler weather, Starlight Apparel has their .{SA}. Lottie Yellow & Black Crop Sweater as a $1L prize. There are fluffy and non-fluffy versions included (NF = non fluffy, on the right above) each in Lara X, Legacy, Perky, Reborn, and Waifu mesh body sizes. Animal prints always make me smile, and this style with the lifted right side is extra flirty ;) Please note I am wearing the nipple covers that came with my skin, so to hide your nips you may need something similar or even a BOM bra for modesty.

Now we knew that The Bold Llama T-Shirt Co. would be offering some fantastic looks for this round, and as usual they deserve gold stars! Their $1L treat is the UNPAID ACTOR Tee I'm wearing here, which says "Unpaid Background Actor" on the front and made me chuckle. I kinda feel that way in RL sometimes ;) Their cozy tank tops are provided in standard mesh sizes as well as eBody Classic, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, Waifu, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP mesh body sizing. Fortunately it's on an unpacker HUD so you are just clicking the brand you need, and you can hold onto that for future use.

The Bold Llama T-Shirt Co. NO AUTOGRAPHS Tee is their $50L exclusive for this hunt, and I'm a huge fan of the breezy, sassy attitude! The gorgeous starlet on the front is adjusting her sunglasses while saying "No Autographs Please", and I'm picturing her flashing a sparkly smile before flipping her hair and sauntering off :) The same sizes I mentioned in the prior image's description apply here as well, and it's a good time to mention that so far I've been wearing the white Delizio jeans from their marketplace fatpack gift in all of these photos. They're free and versatile, so I am a grateful fan.

Okay, so perhaps your idea of glam is more focused on the dressy side of fashion...please allow my final look of the evening to dazzle you then :) The Blink2Wink - Marlene Set CMH is their $1L hunt prize (not to be confused with the $50L exclusive that is a fatpack of this stunning style in dozens of colors) and I love the way the green looks with the golden threads woven through. The dress and the sleeves are separates, each in traditional and PBR texturing (PBR is on the left above), all provided in sizing for Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, and Waifu bodies. It could just be from the colors, but the tulip sleeves make this remind me of a fairy or wood nymph :) 

I'll be taking the evening off from blogging tomorrow because I have plans that will take up most of my day, not leaving me time for taking photos and notes to prepare a post. I'm excited to go to Trader Joe's and see what they have for fall though, and to drop by my parents' to give my mom her birthday card and gift on time :) I hope you're all having a terrific day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Sunflower Hunting

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we are going hunting, primarily the Malus Park Sunflower Hunt. That sends us searching for pretty yellow sunflowers which are each $5L or less, so there are bargains galore at each stop on the hunt path :) For a bit of variety I am also sharing a CMH Kawaii Summer hunt prize from one of the sunflower hunt stops (Ari-Pari ♥) who were not ready yet when I first blogged selections from that hunt but are good to go now. We all know that RL can become very complex and interfere with time in SL, so I am very understanding and just glad to see that the designer was able to participate after all. It's very exciting to share these budget-friendly beauties with all of you :)

@rOrO is offering their beautiful Khloe Blouse Sunflowers as a $2L prize, and I simply adore it :) The pattern of course matches the theme perfectly, and the style is intriguing with the full long sleeves and deep plunging back. I'd happily wear this in any color or pattern! Find this sunflower and you can claim sizes for Erika, Lara X, Legacy, Reborn, and Star mesh bodies. I'm wearing the cream pair of Delizio jeans with it, but you can pair it with all sorts of skirts, pants, shorts, or whatever you wish.

More sunny blooms appear on the [Ari-Pari] Sunflower Outfit, which is a fantastic $5L prize. The top and skirt are each provided in Legacy, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn mesh body sizes, along with a HUD to select from 10 colors apiece. The softly gathered top with square neckline and tiny bow is always a solid color, and the loose fitting mid-thigh length skirt has sunflower pattern options with 10 colors of background to match the shirt's hues. 

Keep exploring [Ari-Pari] to find their Kawaii Summer hunt object too - a striped popsicle that contains the Amikka Outfit for just $1L. That tied tank top looks delightful when paired with the patterned shorts, bursting with kawaii smiling sweet treats of all flavors. This prize includes sizes for Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies, along with a HUD with 5 solid colors for the top and the same 5 colors as trim and pattern for the shorts. Safe to say that I've found my new favorite casual shorts outfit for bopping around the grid with Xan this summer and fall ;)

Next we head to Psyche's Pstyles, where the spectacular Sunset Sunflowers Dress can be yours for just $1L :) The colors will lead you into autumn with ease, and the pleated style gives the dress an appearance of movement. There are Freya, Isis, Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, Reborn, Hourglass, and Physique mesh body sizes included. I used to automatically think dress = formal, but this is more of an everyday yet special look. 

For my final look of the evening, I switched back over to the [Ari-Pari] Amikka Outfit from photo #3 so I could crouch down and show you my new footwear. That would be our Adore Amore Emi Okobo Sunflowers, a sweet score for just $1L. These gorgeous Japanese sandals are tied across the top of the foot with intricate knots, and are worn in a tiptoe pose with a tall wooden base. Naturally this pair is decorated with gorgeous sunflowers to match our hunt theme :) You might need to raise your avatar's hover height so these beauties aren't sunken into the ground. 

Tomorrow I'm taking the evening off from blogging because of a busy RL day (podiatrist visit, etc.) but will be back Friday with more goodies :) My anxiety is having a field day right now, just from knowing I'll be in a car for a while I guess. The weather might be hot and muggy, so not the most pleasant outing ever but also certainly not the worst. I hope you're all having a peaceful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

POSH Pretty in Pink

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we are visiting the POSH Event to check out their Pretty In Pink Hunt. The event area itself certainly lives up to the hunt's name, decked out in wall to wall pink, and there are free gifts for members of the event group which is also free to join. With that tag active, you'll want to seek out the small cats which are solid pink, and the other hunt object is a gorgeous high heel shoe on a round base like a trophy. Those are mostly visible in the displays as a gift, and you will need to right click - touch those to claim the gifts inside. There is a script inside but sometimes scripts can be tricky little devils in SL and only work when they feel like it ;) This wonderful event is open until the 20th of the month.

My first look is the stunning DOLLZ ADYA BABY PINK dress. It has such a flirty style and eye-catching sheen, plus let's not forget that amazing bright hue! There are sizes for Kupra, Lara X, Petite X, Legacy, Bombshell, Peach, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies included in this sweet hunt prize. I'd recommend adding your favorite BOM panties if you want to head somewhere non-adult, as the rear view is a cheeky one ;)

Oh my goodness, how adorable do these gifts look together? The DOLLZ Darling Pink/White TOP is a cropped blouse with puffed sleeves that are each decorated with bows that have long tails that hang lower than the hem. The white heart pattern adds romance too, making this an instant favorite for me. Our new top fits BBL Impression, Kalhene, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, and Reborn Juicy mesh bodies, and pairs beautifully with the DOllz XOXO SET shorts. These cuties remind me of the sporty pairs that were popular in the late 70s and early 80s, only mine (children's sizes) were not quite this short. I think the white trim is partly responsible for the flashback :) However these have a lip print and XOXO on the back in hot pink, and come in Erika, Kupra, Lara X, Legacy, Muneca, Peach, and Reborn mesh body sizes. 

Next I've wrapped myself in skintight latex, thanks to the DOLLZ BODY SUIT PINK hunt prize. That peaked collar frames the plunging neckline so well, and what a fun detail to have a partly open zipper in the front :) We receive sizing for BBL, Kupra, Lara X, Legacy, Muneca, Peach, and Reborn mesh bodies.

There was more than one color of this cutie among the hunt gifts, so I randomly chose to share our DOllz Pink/Blue Pattern Fly Girl BodySuit. Can't help it, I fell in love at first sight! The curve-hugging one piece suit is provided in BBL Impression, Erika, Kupra, Lara X, Legacy, Peach, and Reborn mesh body sizes. The front and rear views are similar with deep openings, with lots of cleavage on display.

My final look tonight is perfect if you're planning on spending the weekend enjoying sand, surf, or sunshine :) The Sassima GIFT BAE BIKINI - PINK has a beautiful floral pattern and is held in place by strings and golden clasps for a little sparkle. The bra and panty will each fit Lara X, Legacy, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. 

I am so thrown off right now, LOL, as this does not feel like a Friday at all. The storms that passed through my area kept me at home instead of going to my parents' for dinner as planned, and the farmers market is closed tomorrow for the 2nd week in a row because of a family wedding that has the owners and a few vendors in Italy. I'm eager to see the photos :) I've got some plans tomorrow and then therapy on Sunday, so there is plenty to keep me occupied without the market. I hope you all have a terrific weekend ahead, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Hunting with Harambee-Gwassi

 Hiya everyone! Tonight's post is a bit of a variety, since I started with one hunt and hopped to another by the same folks :) That would be the Harambee-Gwassi charity store, who organize fantastic events and hunts for us to enjoy just about every single month. The first 2 prizes I found were from the July hunt, the Ice Cream Cone Hunt, then the rest are from August's Save The Sea Hunt. I completely understand that not everyone is ready for the new rounds each time the month changes, and am simply mentioning so you know what hunt objects you are looking for :) Also that helps you to know which hints to follow, and if the prize I share is no longer available by the time you read this, you can always check for the newer hunt prizes at that location instead. Each round has 2 hunt items available, for $3L and $10L apiece, so the websites are quite handy to have open to tell you which you seek. Also, you can get a notecard with links, pics, and hints by clicking the hunt sign at participating stores.

My first look is an Ice Cream Hunt prize found in a $3L triple scoop ice cream cone, the Violet Skies - Xanthe Outfit Lime. You'll need to unpack this the traditional way (rez on ground and right click to unpack) because of a no-copy BOM shirt inside, which is a cropped fishnet top you see above as the base layer. The mesh components are the bodysuit and skirt which are designed for Lara X, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Nhumana, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. The outfit looks just as nice without the fishnet layer as it does with it, so let your personal tastes guide you there :) 

The Bold Llama T-Shirt Co. is also running a little behind this month, which means we still have the chance to grab their $10L YOU'RE HOT Tee prize from the Ice Cream Hunt. We just have to find the pretty little cupcake, as this hunt was all about the sugar rush :) The cozy charcoal tank top says "Wow You're Hot" in bold 3D block lettering, and comes in standard mesh sizes as well as eBody Classic, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, Waifu, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP mesh body versions. It's all on an unpacker HUD so you can deliver what you need right now and hang onto that HUD for future reference if you wish. That's what I always do anyway :)

Time to switch over to the Save the Sea Hunt, for which you can find the ILL Hazar outfit in a $3L oyster shell with pearl inside. This edgy top and skirt set includes sizing for Lara X, Legacy, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. I love the plaid on the skirt, looks fantastic with the black leather corset-laced waist and cropped top with open sides! It's going to be right at home in any Goth, alternative, or punk avatar's inventories.

Now I'm curious about the existence of eco-friendly pirates, thanks to the @rOrO Harlow Dress Pirate Print which is a $10L prize from Save The Sea inside a cute blue octopus hunt object. The bare shoulder style is a flirty favorite of mine, and the ruffle around the top and upper arms has such a fun pattern of sailing ships just like a pirate would have or commandeer. There are sizes for Erika, Lara X, Legacy, Pushup, Reborn, and Star mesh bodies included. I did notice an ice cream cone there too, so keep on searching if you'd like something else sweet.

My final look of the night is our $3L prize for Save the Sea (seashell with pearl) from GoodVibes called Moana. Isn't she lovely? I'm certainly feeling nautical and a bit naughty in the open weave dress covered with multicolored shells, while appreciating the two most carefully placed ones that cover the upper essentials ;) We also receive a string bikini bottom for added modesty, so where's your favorite adult beach to wear this to? We receive Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, Waifu, and Star mesh body sizes of both pieces. 

It was a fun evening of gaming with friends online, and I am pleasantly surprised that my new glasses are ready to be picked up much sooner than expected :) It was supposed to be 2 weeks but I got the text today, and will be headed there before my parents' for dinner tomorrow. I wonder if they felt sorry for me, LOL, or just want to make sure I don't have any more reason to complain ;) Honestly I was very polite about everything and didn't blame anyone but my own brain for feeling too dizzy with the extra strong prescription. I'm eager to get things moving so I can prepare more for the cataract surgeries themselves, as much as I dread them, since it will drastically improve my vision. I hope you're all having a wonderful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

CMH Kawaii Summer

 Hiya everyone! Tonight it's time for the CMH Kawaii Summer 2 Hunt, with treats to help you beat the heat in style. Visit each participating store and look for the cute popsicles (3 color stripes and a kawaii face) to claim the $1L hunt prizes or $25L - $50L hunt exclusives. Their website will guide you with landmarks, hints, and the prices, and you'll notice that many of the designers are offering multiple prizes so you'll want to follow those hints carefully. I love Cheeky Monkey Hunts and am always impressed by the creativity of their designers :) Also the theme really warms my heart, so I like to think of these offerings as virtual hugs to everyone who picks them up or sees one of us wearing them. We have until the end of the month to enjoy all this cuteness :)

Let's start out the evening with the $1L hunt prize from ART & FASHION called PLAYFUL AND FREE OUTFIT. Isn't this sweet shade of orange just perfect for summer? I immediately thought of a creamsicle, then a refreshing glass of orange juice on a bright sunny day :) The minidress and matching strappy platform boots are each provided in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh body sizing. There is always beautiful artwork on this brand's clothing, and for this treat it is a young lady on a swing. As a kid I spent lots of time enjoying the exhilarating feeling of the wind through my hair and the sensation of flying as I swung back and forth on a swingset with my best friend.

Don't leave the store just yet, as we have a flirty $50L exclusive offer to find here as well! Their ART & FASHION - HEART IN HAND OUTFIT includes the dress and boots in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique bodies, along with an adjustable choker with double hearts on it. The dress features open sides, soft ruffles, and a silhouette of a woman holding a large heart above her head. I'm absolutely head over heels (puns intended) for the boots and the way the straps cross just above the knee :)

Blink2Wink has a dreamy $1L prize for us called Ichika Set CMH, and I absolutely adore it! The corset and skirt leave a sexy little sliver of bare skin between them, and both come in original and PBR texturing so you can enjoy this no matter which viewer you are currently using. They both fit Legacy, Lara X, Reborn, Squish, and Waifu mesh bodies. The clouds and hearts add whimsy, just like the ruffled layers of the skirt, and I love the way the corset is laced up in the front. Just a note that there is an exclusive offer here as well, a whole fatpack of colors of this fantastic style!

Next we pop on over to Artistic Eye, who are generously offering a few different exclusive offers like this $50L ~AE~ Kawaii Top. Just look at those cheerful faces on all the cuties pictured on the front! ♥ I can't resist the gorgeous shade of blue either, or the fun bows on both sides. There are sizes for Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Lara X, Petite X, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies, which is a nice range of popular sizes. I've paired it here with the white pair of Delizio jeans from their marketplace fatpack freebie, but you can easily wear this with just about any bottoms in your inventory that suit your personal style. Of course for this time of year, shorts are very tempting :)

The jeans also came in handy for my final look of the night, which is our SweetSass Kawaii Panda Top for just $1L. The adorable faces on the clouds and sun above the panda remind me very much of the one on the hunt object, and how precious is this little cub who is nibbling on some tasty bamboo? The t-shirt has cuffed short sleeves and the hemline falls just above the navel, looking very summery and flattering :) Pick up this prize and you'll receive Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Kups, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Petite, Maitreya, Maitreya Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Prima Busty, Prima Petite, and Reborn mesh body sizes.

My plans tomorrow will prevent me from having time to prepare a blog post (photos and notes take longer than one might expect, and doubly so with my poor vision) so I am taking the evening off after running around for a large chunk of the day. We have at least 3 stops planned, and I wouldn't be surprised if that becomes more ;) I hope you're all having a pleasant day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

CMH Drama Llama Hunt

 Hiya everyone! Tonight it's time to find some drama llamas, who are ready to reward us for locating them :) The CMH Drama Llama Hunt is open, and that means the participating stores have llamas (like the one in the hunt sign image, head wearing sunglasses and looking annoyed) with a $1L hunt prize or a $25L - $50L offer that is exclusive to this hunt/event. Cheeky Monkey Hunts has some amazing designers, and they get to choose which and how many goodies to offer at which price points. Just head to their website and you will see the landmarks, hints, prices, and preview images so you know what you'll find. Women, men, and dinkies will find fashions and home decor among the many possibilities :) Enjoy!

For my first look of the evening, I am enjoying our GoodVibes Her NoDramaLlama dollarbie prize. The t-shirt and shorts will each fit Erika, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, Waifu, and Star mesh bodies. These llamas look very peaceful so no dramatics from these handsome beasts :) I really appreciate that they appear on the front and back of the shirt, and aren't the pert ruffles on the shorts just the cutest?

I kept those adorable shorts on to help me share two of our 3 prizes from The Bold Llama T-Shirt Co. :) I'm still giggling at the A LLAMA & A MAN Tee, which says "Llama...just killed a man" with a llama who is wearing a very familiar yellow Freddie Mercury jacket. The twist on the opening line of Bohemian Rhapsody just sent me, and I had just watched a reaction video of a couple who were seeing this video for the first time so the song was already in my head. This happens to be our $50L exclusive offer, so if it tickles your fancy too then you'll want to track it down pronto! The $1L hunt prize is the cutie on the right called ONLY YOU Tee, with a llama clad like a park ranger (Smokey Llama?) saying "Only You can prevent DRAMA" above and below the image. Whew, more laughter ensued when I was wearing this one, and I'm sure Xan is going to enjoy seeing it too. These are provided on unpacker HUDs so you can select your sizes from standard, eBody Classic, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, Waifu, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP mesh bodies. I can only imagine how exciting it was for the store's mascot and namesake to be part of the theme this round!

The shorts are still coming in handy so I can wear the Artistic Eye Offensive Tank ladies prize without pulling a Donald Duck or Winnie the Pooh ;) This fantastic $50L exclusive also has a male counterpart in a different llama, and is a really intriguingly designed top with lots of straps and an open back. The front says "You find it Offensive and I find it Funny 🤣 That's why I'm happier than you" next to a laughing woman enjoying a bottle of beer. We've all known someone who spent entirely too much time being offended by every little thing like people saying heck or dang because it's too close to a naughty word, and were they really happy? (I'm totally thinking of my uncle's wife, I refuse to call her Aunt per her wishes and my own, she is the least happy person I've met in 55 years) This flirty tank comes in sizing for Lara X, Legacy, and Reborn mesh bodies. I have even more good news - this brand has another store with 2 different prizes there, male and female, so you can stop by there as well! You'll find the info on the hunt website of course, so I'm leaving it a surprise for now ;)

I always appreciate an excuse to visit Psyche's Pstyles, and finding their $1L llama containing this lovely Alpaca My Bags Dress is my newest reason. Puns and wordplay make me so happy, and llamas and alpacas do the same :) So the colorful cuties on this dress are making me a very happy magpie. There is a fitmesh M size for classic avatars as well as sizes for Freya, Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, Ocacin, Reborn, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, Tonic Fine, and Voluptuous mesh bodies. I want to wear this cozy looking sundress everywhere I go!

One final look this evening, we have the beautiful ART & FASHION - SO CLOSE DRESS prize which is their $1L treat for us. The color is stunning, and I can't resist those long slender openings along the neck and hem as well as the one in the back :) Find this llama and you'll receive Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh body sizes. There's also a heart choker included, which I think is a lovely bonus. Two faces coming in for a kiss are featured in the artwork, bringing a little romance and intrigue.

Busy night so I'm running late, but I do want to mention that I'm going to the podiatrist tomorrow for a follow-up for my injured toe. This means no time to blog tomorrow night, but I'll be back Thursday evening :) RL likes to do that to me lately, but all is well and my foot is like 75% better so I don't anticipate anything unusual. They may need to x-ray again, which I don't mind, and my regular visit there is like 5 weeks later so we can check in with it again when he trims my toenails. Gotta keep preventing those ingrown nails :) I hope you're all having a nice day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Treasure Hunting at Wonderland Beach

 Hiya everyone! Tonight it's time to go treasure hunting at Wonderland Beach and their Celebration Event 2026. It is open until the 20th of July, and we are looking for free treasure chests (click and they deliver a folder with your gift inside) at the booths and displays at this cart sale. There are so many talented designers taking part, and it can be quite a challenge to try to track down all of the wonderful hunt prizes. Well worth it though of course, and I've enjoyed many rounds of their treasure hunt/sales events over the years.

My first look of the evening is our MESH Rainbow Lace Dress and Necklace by Moonstar prize. It really wowed me with the flirty dress and bonus statement necklace! There are standard fitmesh sizes as well as eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Ocacin, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh body sizing. The bold necklace has a resizer script built in, so you can touch it to adjust the size very easily. I appreciate that the look is sexy but covers the essentials :)

I managed to find another wonderful prize from Moonstar called *V* Groovy Cropped Top, Shorts and Shoes. The name sums it up quite well, as our long sleeved crop top, formfitting shorts, and cute polkadotted shoes are all included to make getting dressed a snap :) The top and shorts come in Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Lara X, Petite X, and Reborn sizes, with Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, and Reborn sizes for mid height feet. If you wanted to layer a BOM tank top or bra beneath for a touch more modesty, I'm sure that would work out very well. Anyone else a sucker for a good pair of chunky platform sandals? :)

Those shorts also came in handy to show off The Bold Llama T-Shirt Co. RELAX Tee. It has a terrific image on the front, a hammock strung between two palm trees while a plane flies overheard and 3 parrots hold signs saying "Hang in there" :) Very reminiscent of Jimmy Buffett, and I say that as someone who went to over a dozen of his concerts and adores that laid back aesthetic. I'm sure I still have a silk lei and straw hat I wore to one of them! We receive standard mesh sizes along with sizing for eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Ocacin, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh bodies. These cozy fitting tank tops go along with just about any bottom you prefer to wear. 

Welcome to the jungle, we've got fun and games...sorry, lol, our KALEA Hawaiian Jungle by COVETED! prize got that song in my head immediately ;) It is a real stunner with that bold halter neck and fun greenery on the pattern. There are Kupra, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh body sizes provided in this fantastic treat. I'm sure there are some amazing regions in SL where I can visit Hawaii, so that might become part of my weekend plans now :)

I've got another pretty to share for my final look of the night :) It's our *MARTINES*CELEB2026 gift, a full length dress that is slit all the way up (down?) for a real eyeful of a gown. We receive sizes for Kupra, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Muneca, Nhuma D, Nhuma LD, Prima, Prima Petite, Reborn, Waifu, and Star mesh bodies. That's an impressive lineup of sizing! I'm such a fan of daisies, and they add something special to this cheery blue background. The magic of SL keeps the fabric in place, lol, as that open side would probably lead to some interesting wardrobe malfunctions in RL. 

Please don't ask if it's hot enough for me, LOL, because this heat wave is making me a little bit cranky ;) I did go to my parents' for dinner, and my dad was grumbling about having the AC set for 77 because he never puts it that low 😳. To be fair, he has been feeling very cold all the time since radiation treatment several years ago, but my mom isn't very comfy with it being that toasty. My AC wouldn't get it under 80 during the day, but it's 73 in here now which is a vast improvement. The outdoor farmers market is going to be a challenge tomorrow morning, but I have my fingers crossed that it won't be too awful. Otherwise I plan on staying indoors for the rest of the weekend :) Oh well, I hope you all have a safe and happy weekend, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Midsummer Spell On You

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we're back on the CMH Midsummer's Spell hunt path, searching for cute images of mushroom houses that either hold a $1L hunt prize or a $25L - $50L hunt exclusive offering. Each designer decides which and how many total they want to offer, and the hunt's website will help you with the landmarks, hints, prices, and previews :) The prizes are fantastic as usual, and the theme of Fae, Forest, Magical, and Romantic vibes is absolutely my cup of tea. I've always had a fascination with the mystical side of life, and certainly enjoy being able to explore it in SL. 

Our first stop of the evening is offering one of each price point as usual, and I am a very grateful magpie ♥. The Bold Llama T-Shirt Co. HEAVY LIFT Tee is the sweet $1L top on the left, with a tiny image of a winged elephant who is giving those wings quite a workout. On the right you can see our BRITE SPRITE Tee which is their $25L exclusive offer, with a fairy showing her rainbow wings that resemble paint splashed by an enchanted brush. All of this brand's tank tops are provided on an unpacker HUD that offers standard mesh sizes as well as eBody Classic, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Reborn, Waifu, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP mesh body sizes. Just click the you need, and hang onto that HUD for future reference.

Yet another polished look you can find here is the $50L exclusive, The Bold Llama T-Shirt Co. ELEGANCE Tee. There is something so classic about black and a dash of red on white, probably the ultimate color combo I'd describe as elegant :) This fairy reminds me of a drawing in a book from my childhood that I can't quite think of (not Tinkerbell although there's some resemblance) with the wispy dress, decorative swirls, and even some stardust for extra magic. She is holding a flower with a heart shaped bloom that is our lone touch of vibrant color. Lovely!

Next you are cordially invited to Psyche's Pstyles, where you'll want to locate the mushroom house that holds their $1L Rainbow Idyll Dress prize. Rainbows are such an elusive yet meaningful part of nature, showing up after storms to remind us that there is still goodness out there. Of course we do see it more during this month because of Pride, although usually not with these cute puffy clouds so I'm loving the different take on it :) This beautiful sundress has two wonderful bows on the back, and halter necklines seem perfect for summer. We receive Freya, Isis, Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, Reborn, Hourglass, and Physique mesh body sizes. 

I'm also intrigued by the way that artwork can evoke emotions, making it a universal language in a sense. The ART & FASHION - FEELINGS IN PINK DRESS is one of two prizes you can find here, the $1L specifically, and I found myself staring at the image on the front for a long moment just admiring it. The glimpse of two faces, lips on the verge of kissing, is a captivating one for sure :) This sexy mini dress comes in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh bodies. 

My final look of the evening is their $50L exclusive offer, the ART & FASHION - FEELINGS OUTFIT. It is a very similar style of dress (fewer cutouts but same strappy sleeves and short hem) as their other prize, in a deep teal with another mesmerizing image of a kiss that could be just about anyone in any time period. This outfit also includes the laced up boots that come up to mid thigh, in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies. Their color is a perfect match, really completing the look wonderfully.

I hope you're all having a fantastic day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

CMH Midsummer's Spell

 Hiya everyone! Tonight's post is filled with hunt prizes and exclusive offers for the CMH Midsummer's Spell hunt. Cheeky Monkey Hunts has some amazing designers who provide their choice of $1L prizes or $25L - $50L exclusives, all hidden in a sweet image of a pair of mushroom houses :) While this is a sponsored post, meaning I was provided these items as an official blogger of theirs, I only blog what I truly love and I always give my honest thoughts on them. You really might see me out and about wearing something I've featured here :) The event runs until the end of the month, so we do have plenty of time to enjoy browsing these wonderful stores. Be sure to have the hunt website available for the store links, hints, prices, and previews so you know where to go and how many to look for at each stop.

I started the evening in a magical way, thanks to the GoodVibes Butterfly Dreams dress. It's just $1L and includes the dress, butterflies, and shoulder butterflies as 3 separate pieces. Each of these come in Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, Waifu, and Star mesh body sizes. The full skirt somehow adds to the fairy feeling, and it will look just as pretty if you leave off either/both butterfly pieces. Just think, you don't need to add jewelry when you have nature's accessories!

The magic continues with the $25L exclusive ~Sassy!~ Nymph - CMH Midsummer's Spell offer. Its slightly sheer lacy bodysuit fits Lara X, Petite X, Legacy, Perky, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies, and the lovely wings I'm wearing here are also included. If you've ever dreamt of being a flirty forest fairy, this is your chance! The wings are as intricately designed as our bodysuit, all so flattering.

I'm also excited to share the Blink2Wink - BellaDonna Gown CMH1 dollarbie prize, a strapless gown in shimmery copper. There are sizes for Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, Nhumana, and Reborn mesh bodies, each in classic and PBR textures. I am wearing the PBR here and it is noticeably reflective of my ambient light in the skybox I took the photos in. Such witchy vibes with the celestial symbols and pentacle, and I see some branches that make me think nature or herbology at Hogwarts ;) The strapless style and the way it drapes around the waist are sure to get attention as well. 

Baywatch, anyone? :) The Harambee-Gwassi Bunny red-swimsuit with skirt is a $25L exclusive, and I'd like to remind everyone that this store raises money for charity to help fund schools in Kenya. So just think, you can add something special to your summer wardrobe while helping children learn :) The swimsuit and skirt are separate pieces, each in Gen X Curvy, Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, and Reborn mesh bodies. The skirt is held loosely closed by a gold chain that has a peace sign ✌ charm dangling from it, and it gives a feeling of a peplum skirt added to the sexy one-piece. 

For my final look of the evening, I've changed into the lovely Gramma's BEACH BODY WMNS TANK & SHORTS dollarbie prize. I love the sassy practicality of the saying on the shirt: 

How to Get a Beach Body 

1. Have a body. 

2. Go to the beach. 

Simply straightforward, reminding us we don't need to diet to the point of illness or feel ashamed of not being a certain size or weight. This prize includes 3 pieces - pastel tank top, white tank top, pastel shorts - all in 5 standard sizes as well as Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh body versions. I love the white buttons on the front of the shorts, reminding me of double breasted jackets. We've got a slightly cheeky rear view from the high cut legs too ;) Please note, the same image and wording appears on both tank tops.

Mondays can be a mixed bag lately, but I had a productive and fairly decent one so I'm good :) Tomorrow I am going out and not sure how long I'll be, so I am uncertain yet if I'm going to be blogging in the evening or not. RL can be pretty rude that way, lol, interfering with our Second Life like this ;) I'm nervous about going further than usual and might need to unwind after (nap, naps are heavenly) but we'll see what happens. I hope you're all having a terrific day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
