Hiya everyone! Tonight we visit the Wash Cart Sale again, for their Spring is in the Air round that is open until this coming Wednesday. So many things to choose from for the whole family, all for $10L each, so these are deeply discounted selections from dozens of top designers. I am also showing you some of the free gifts that I picked up at the Shop Your Heart Out event, where you can also find up to 50% off selected items from various creators. The event is on two full sims, but all the ones you will see here tonight are from the Gilded sim where the Truth Hair gift I wore last night (and am still enjoying in these images) is located. You can shop your heart out there until the 26th, and since it is in its early days and it's the weekend, it is still very crowded. You might need to be patient before you can get in, but it is well worth the wait.

We start at The Wash, first picking up this fun and funky dress from John Dee's Emporium called Optical Illusion Micromini. It comes in sizes for eBody, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and standard Small and Large versions. The opening on the side continues around to the back, and the pattern is downright mesmerizing :) The link for John Dee's Emporium mainstore can be found here, and the cart is directly linked in the ending credits. My beautiful jewelry set is by LUMINESSE and one of several choices on their Wash cart, called Korenza Sateen Set OP. It includes the earrings and matching necklace, all of which feature their Options Plus menu that offers resize, brightness, shine, glow, and more. The LUMINESSE mainstore is right here on the Wash sim, and the direct ride to their cart is in the credits below.

While at the Wash, we also visit the Elgund & Nilsson cart where you can find offers like this NIL Marla Winter Blue dress. It is a single piece with the appearance of two, in standard mesh sizes. It definitely looks like a nice choice for a spring day or evening. You can visit the Elgund & Nilsson mainstore by clicking here, and the direct cart link is in the ending credits as usual. I'm sure you noticed the toasty fire in the photo with me, and the adorable pup leaning on (holding?) a cheerful ribboned heart, well they are one of the many offers at the Tylar's Treasures Cart. This is their My Heart Is Yours Fireplace, it is all one piece including the pupper, and has a very modest land impact of 2. The fireplace can be turned off an on by simply clicking, and there is a pleasant crackling sound when the fire is on. The link for their mainstore can be found here, and their cart link is in the ending credits.

It's time to shop your heart out, and pick up some generous gifts! On the left I am wearing the gift from Thalia Heckroth, their Helena Gown Valentine's Edition which comes in a single Maitreya size. It makes use of the auto-hide feature of Maitreya bodies, and is a sweet shade of pink. The beauty on the right is our gift from / erratic / named Nicki Ruched Dress, and it also comes in a Maitreya size only. The center panel is a lovely color to go with the floral pattern on the rest of this sexy mini.
While exploring the Gilded sim, be sure to pick up the Shop Your Heart Out gift from Giz Seorn, this striking dress with lots of great details. It includes sizes for Belleza Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP. I love the sheer panels and the peekaboo slit in the back, and that fun metallic fabric in vivid red.

My final look of the evening starts with the playful Valentina E. gift called Courtney Dress Tiffany, a famous hue on a terrific style. It is included in sizes for Freya, Isis, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique, with smaller bows on the sleeves and bodice with a larger one on the back. I paired this gift with the !Rebel Hope gift, their Valentine's Heart Choker, which comes in sizes for Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink. There is also a HUD provided that lets you choose from 4 colors for the strap and another 4 for the metal. In addition to the white and pink seen above, you can wear it as red or black, so the colors will go nicely with many Valentine themed dresses and shirts.
Wow, I am really running late tonight! It was just that kind of a day, and the more I try to rush things the slower I seem to become. So I'll just wrap this up with wishes for a wonderful day/evening to all of you, and lots of magical magpie hugs!!

Hiya everyone! Tonight there are even more peeks from The Wash Cart Sale, where everything is just $10L and there is something for just about everyone - clothing for men, women, and children, plus accessories, textures, and home decor among other treats. Another hunt that I really wanted to show you is the Silk Road VIII - Byzantium from Historical Hunts (the same folks who organize the Steam Hunts as well) and there are just a few days remaining so I urge you to hurry :) You will be looking for a golden pagoda with touches of reddish purple, there is a sample on every sign along with a hint giver. Most of these prizes are home decor type items, but I found several terrific outfits that I wanted to share tonight and tomorrow. These are ideal for roleplaying but also just for a change of pace, when you want to explore something new in SL or try a different type of look. My tastes in SL are eclectic and varied, since just about anything is possible here.

If you have a Maitreya body, you don't want to miss the Classy Chics cart at the Wash, because all their offerings are exclusively Maitreya appliers and include lingerie as well as outerwear. The tops I am wearing here are both from the Tender Top 4 Maitreya Applier, which offers sheer and solid versions of this top in green and purple, all four for just $10L. If you like the style but prefer other colors, you could choose from White/Black, Teal/Pink, or Red/Blue sets for the same low price each. Great news if you like my Mini Denim Booty Shorts seen here in two of their 5 colors, because they are a free gift on the Classy Chics cart just for visiting! There are plenty of bargains to be found there, so please use the link in my ending credits to whisk yourself directly to their cart, and you can visit the Classy Chics mainstore by clicking here for their full range.

When you stop by the John Dee's Emporium cart, you will notice a powerful theme going on there...a design inspired by The Sun tarot card on items for men and ladies. Here I am wearing the Tarot Series - The Sun Swimsuit on the left (standard mesh sizes included) and the Tarot Series - The Sun Dress on the right. That beauty comes in sizes for standard, Belleza Freya, Belleza Isis, Belleza Venus, Maitreya, Slink Hourglass, Slink Physique, and TMP. You can visit the John Dee's Emporium mainstore by clicking here, and the direct link for their cart is in my credits as usual.
Exploring the Silk Road, your path will bring you to Thistle Moon Designs where their pagoda holds this Byzantine Phoenix Dress for the ladies in standard mesh sizes. There is also a matching robe for the men. I was quite taken with the rich coloring and the burnished gold trim, and have a personal connection with the idea of rebirth symbolized by the phoenix so I am very fond of them in general too.
Another prize I could not resist sharing is this amazing gift from Miss Darcy, their Silk Road - Amity Gown - Carp Noir. That pattern is so delicate, and I love the deep colors of the flattering bodice and the way they accentuate the koi. It comes in Belleza, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP sizes, plus there is a matching men's shirt included in the prize as well. These poses are a preview of the Hello Tuesday offering this week from Verocity, more information in a moment...

One last look of the evening, this is the Rainy Fey Creations prize called Byzantium Women's Outfit and it includes the gown in standard mesh sizes plus the gold pendant you see here, along with a pair of gold shoes (flats) not shown. As you can guess from the name, they were kind enough to provide a men's prize too, so this hunt is suited for the gentlemen as well as the ladies. Now my poses here are from the Verocity Ashley Pose Set, which includes 6 poses and their mirror versions for just $25L and will be available in a couple of hours for Hello Tuesday. Here you see Ashley 2 and Ashley 4M, while in the photo above are Ashley 6 and Ashley 5. They are a remarkable bargain, and I have found their poses to be consistently top quality and use them for all of my blog posts. Their main store link is always in my right side links, and their Hello Tuesday location is what you'll see in my ending credits.
It was another hectic day here with emotional ups and downs, not quite the peaceful day I'd envisioned but there is always tomorrow ;) I hope you are all having a beautiful day/evening, magical magpie hugs to each of you!!

Hiya everyone! Tonight I have a few more deeply discounted deals from The Wash Springtacious Cart Sale, and you only have until the 12th to visit so if you haven't already, I urge you to check it out. There are also some prizes to see from the Womenstuff Hunt, whose gridwide path includes 150 stores who have hidden red t-shirts for either $0L or $1L. Some of the prizes are exclusive to this hunt, so this is a great opportunity to save lots of lindens and get prizes that might not be available next month when the hunt is over.

My first look is from the cart sale, the ABRAXAS Crop Top and ABRAXAS Female Shorts by John Dee's Emporium, just $10L each. The shorts include standard mesh sizes, and there is a male version available on the cart as well. The crop top is provided in standard mesh sizes along with a fitted version, and includes a HUD that allows you to choose from 8 terrific uniquely named colors via a blue menu popup. You can visit the John Dee's Emporium main store by clicking here, and the direct ride to their cart (with the bargains shown and more) is in my ending credits.

Two other carts made me smile today as well, let's start with the adorable outfit from Vicarious Youth called Phoebe Lounge Set in Cat's Meow for Maitreya. The top and shorts each have a single Maitreya size included, and just look at those cute designs! I love the kitty ears and whiskers framing the word meow, and the cat silhouettes on the shorts. This outfit can be found for just $10L on their cart, along with clothing for ladies, men, and children, so be sure to bring the family when you visit. You can see their full line at their mainstore here, in addition to the bargains at the cart in my ending credits link. I'm sure you noticed the beautiful crate of roses next to me, well if you are looking for something to decorate your home (I think this would look great on a balcony or front porch, depending on where you live) then I gladly suggest visiting the Crys Secret Garden cart at The Wash. They have several varieties of crates including this Crated Roses, which has a land impact of only 3, and a very reasonable price tag of $10L. They aren't even all flowers, as one had some greenery and mushrooms tucked inside the weathered wood planks. RL me does not have much of a green thumb, so in SL I especially appreciate being able to enjoy plants and flowers like this. You can visit their mainstore right here at The Wash, and the cart is linked in my ending credits as I always do.

As I mentioned, there are many wonderful places to visit in the Womenstuff Hunt, one of which is certainly Robot Dolly so you can find their $1L prize called "Isa" Lace Mini in Blush. This sleeveless dress with the lovely ombre of floral pattern comes in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya Lara, Hourglass, Physique, and standard mesh sizes. Just look for that little red t-shirt, and you can enjoy this beauty too.
This is a sassy look from the prize at [Marquesse], which is named WSH Girls Squad Camo Grey. It consists of the cropped jacket, shorts, and tall boots each in a Maitreya size, and an Omega HUD for the bodysuit beneath. I love the front pockets peeking out from the shorts, and the camo pockets on the rear.
One last look for the evening, this is our prize from BW Fashion called Mindy Short Dress. She includes system layers and appliers for Belleza, EVE, Maitreya, Omega, Slink, and TMP, along with boxed mesh skirt panels for Maitreya/EVE, Slink, and TMP/Belleza/Classic. The soft floral pattern is so pretty, and those high slits on each side do show off quite a bit of leg. The red trim really ties things together nicely, doesn't it?
I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and that the upcoming week holds plenty of positive things for each of you. Magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
