Addicted to Offers and Gifts

 Hiya everyone! Tonight the gifts I'm sharing are all for the *Addicted to Offers and Gifts* group, which is currently free to join. It's a multi-designer style group, so there are lots of great stores who send notices to update us about what's new and on sale there. Of course, they can also offer a gift for any group members who stop by, so keep an eye out for those group signs at any store you go to :) They are nearly all familiar brands to me by now, and I trust that you'll find some excellent reasons to join me in visiting. 

First up, we have the flirty Luna Chelsea gift called FAIYA DRESS. For this one, please right click the sign and pay the $1L price, then it will be automatically refunded while the group is delivered to you. The halter dress and panties are each provided in Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra Bimbo, Low, Original, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh body sizes. There is also a HUD enclosed with 35 colors for each piece, and all the dress colors have that fun animal striped pattern that looks really creative in bold hues.

The TREND - Ada Bodysuit - Fatpack gift from the newly rebranded Bad Doll is a revealing treat that can be very colorful too :) That's because of the HUD which has 30 wonderful choices, a few colors looking more sheer than others to me. The bodysuit itself will fit Erika, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn mesh bodies. The back is even more daring, thanks to the bottom narrowing to what I might call booty floss ;) It's a very slender strand as a G-string, lol, so you can use your imaginations for that one.

In the same building, you can also find the Melody store which has 2 gifts for this group. This one is called Sarabi// FATPACK, and its top and skirt each come in Classic, Curvy, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh bodies. There is also a HUD that offers plenty of colors for the top, lace, and skirt to mix and match with. I really like the way the top has a different texture, with the skirt being shiny like satin or latex, for extra visual interest.

Our Melody Camela Gift is such a bold and sexy look, a dress with dramatic openings to show lots of cleavage and midriff. The gift includes sizing for Classic, Curvy, Lara X, Legacy, and Reborn mesh bodies. We also find a HUD inside with 20 colors apiece for the skirt, top, strap, and clasps, so that makes for a lot of versatility. 

I'm wrapping things up this evening with the [K-Style] KARMA DRESS #17 group gift. There is something so charming about the floral pattern on a classic strapless minidress :) It is still technically spring, so if you prefer to keep your flowers in this season, here's a perfect pick! There are sizes for Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite mesh bodies included.

Whew, I just had a sneezing fit so I would say spring is certainly still in the air. Because of my eye appointment Thursday, we rearranged the gaming night with friends to tonight since it was convenient for all of us. So I had a good evening, then watched some hockey where the Vegas Golden Knights eliminated (swept 4 games to 0) the Colorado Avalanche in their series. So now Vegas is headed to the Stanley Cup, and I am not really surprised. The temperature is climbing in my room, not the type of thing that makes one think of *ice* hockey ;) I hope you're all having a terrific day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Luna Chelsea Luck and Camping

 Hiya everyone! Tonight's post comes from Luna Chelsea Designs and features some treats for their free group's members, but they aren't group gifts in the traditional sense. I started with some lucky chair prizes, and continued with some camping prizes or rewards, all of which do need that group tag to claim :) There's a building next to a roller disco that has all our lucky chairs, camping chairs, and even a pair of midnight mania boards as benefits of being in the group. The camping chairs are honestly a great opportunity to multitask as you'll be sitting there for 60 minutes...while camping you can take that time to sort your inventory, chat with friends, watch tv or videos, scroll social media....whatever makes you the happiest. I did a bit of inventory sorting and watched some tv, and I think I watched a few videos here and there. The lucky chair prizes were refreshed for January, so I had fun hoping to win these all new treats. Do you have anything you consider a lucky charm? My grandma was a firm believer in a penny from your birth year bringing good fortune, so if she ever saw one with any family member's year on it, she would be sure to give it to us :) I'd usually keep one in my purse, but only if it came from her.

I won their charming ZEPHY DRESS from one of the lucky chairs, so luck was definitely on my side :) There are sizes for Erika, Kupra, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Maitreya, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, Waifu, and Star mesh bodies included, along with a HUD to select from 10 geometric patterns. They all look terrific on the body hugging halter style dress! All of these goodies also include a BOM pair of panties that can be edited to change the color, which is very handy for modesty purposes. If you've ever had someone cam up your skirt in SL, you know what I'm saying.

Next we see the VIDRA OUTFIT FX lucky chair prize, which has some retro vibes with plenty of modern twist. Its top and skirt will each fit Erika, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Legacy, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn mesh bodies. We also can find a color HUD inside with 72 choices each for top, trim, skirt, and waist, via the tabs on the side. There's another HUD that lets us tweak the shine, transparency, and plenty of other fun details, so be sure to experiment with that as well if you wish.

If you've been lucky, someone might say you were sitting pretty, which tickles me to think of because I did sit on a lucky chair to win this exceptionally pretty BINNIE OUTFIT. It consists of the sleeveless tube dress and shrug style jacket, each in sizes for Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Lara X, Petite X, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Reborn, and Waifu bodies. The outfit's HUD offers 15 patterns and 23 solid colors for the dress and 38 solids for the jacket, so we can get pretty creative with our combinations if we wish. Did you notice the slender strap at the jacket's neckline that forms a choker? We don't even need to add a necklace!

One of the camping chairs rewarded me with the wonderful NOVA OUTFIT PBR CROC - 25, and I must say it was worth every second :) The bustier style top and pants are each designed for Kupra, Lara X, Legacy, Nhumana, Reborn, and Waifu bodies, and our HUD has an impressive 51 colors for each! There are 2 metal tones as well, so those rivets and zippers can be silver or gold to suit your tastes. I'm still not 100% certain about what PBR does, lol, but I can see lots of reflectivity happening here and I think it looks marvelous.

If you want to earn my final look of the night, just have a seat for an hour on the chair that holds the CIARRA OUTFIT-25 and it's all yours :) The bare shouldered top and flare leg pants both come in sizing for Lara X, Legacy, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies, and I'm sure you can tell there is also a HUD involved. That offers 15 solid colors and 15 dotted colors each, so I couldn't resist a little mixing and matching just enough to show the solid and dotted comparisons. Those straps wound around the midriff are so fun, and the long tails of the tied top would certainly get tangled in them in RL so I'm glad that SL doesn't have that issue. I am still wearing this outfit by the way, couldn't bear to change out of it!

I'm going out tomorrow but the time is uncertain, so my best bet is to plan an evening off from blogging. I'll be back the next evening with something new to share, and fingers crossed that I will be feeling relaxed and refreshed from the day out and evening off :) I hope you're all having a nice day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Lucky Luna Chelsea

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we're headed back to Luna Chelsea Creations, who have several new lucky chair prizes and camping chair rewards for their free group's members. Now I did share some treats of theirs recently, and when I went back a couple hours after posting, I saw that she'd rearranged things. Please allow me to apologize for the confusion and re-describe where to find things :) The lucky chairs, midnight mania boards, and camping chairs are now in a building next to a roller disco to the southwest of where we land, and the group gifts are in a separate building that you'll be best off using the teleport pad to reach. I'm really excited to share some of the new goodies, and selected another variety to give you a better idea of what all you might find here. 

My first look of the evening is the LCC MARANDA SET FX ED group gift, which as you can see is a very lovely detailed outfit. The top, panties, and skirt in solid and sheer versions are each included in Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Khara, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Peach, and Reborn mesh body sizes. The color HUD has an incredible 77 choices each for the top, top diamonds, skirt, skirt diamonds, panty, and panty diamonds, just use the tabs on the side to select which piece you'd like to tint :) Another HUD lets you adjust the shine, transparency, and more, so it is extremely customizable to make it your own.

Over in the building with the lucky chairs, fortune smiled on me to help me win this fun AURA OUTFIT PBR LEATHER 25 prize. It is all in one piece that fits Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Lara X, Legacy, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. There's a pair of BOM panties tucked in there too, which is the case with most of these prizes :) Our HUD offers 51 colors apiece for our dress, belt, and handbag sections. The essentials are technically covered, and yes I do mean nipples lol, but you can always add a bra or pasties if you prefer to have a bit more coverage.

Another of their lucky chairs is ready to offer you the DOJA JUMPSUIT V1-25 if you have a seat when your initial shows up. This one-piece suit with high collar and attached belt will fit Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, and Reborn mesh bodies, and a BOM pair of panties. We've also got a handy HUD that lets us pick from 20 colors each for the top, pants, collar, and belt, so we can enjoy it in any color combo that tickles our fancy.

The ZYANIA OUTFIT FX-25 lucky chair prize is a layered delight with separate bra, top, and pants that are each included in sizing for Erika, Kupra, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. The HUD has settings for satin, leather, and latex textures, each in 30 colors apiece for corset, laces, bra, trim, and pants. That's a lot of options, and I love the idea of mixing leather pants with a satin jacket top for example :) Am I just really old, lol, or is this giving modern take on Miami Vice fashion? If you just wondered why not both, I would begrudgingly agree and tell you to get off my virtual lawn...I really would enjoy rewatching that series though.

My final look of the night is one I camped for an hour to earn for free, and since it's denim I would do it again in a heartbeat! Our EMMARIE JUMPSUIT DENIM ED-25 comes in Kupra, Lara X, Legacy, Nhumana, Reborn, and Waifu sizes, with a 25 color HUD that includes 16 solids and 9 embroidered as seen on the left above. This is going to be a go-to outfit for me until the winter tempts me into long sleeves or sweaters, and even then it would still suit being indoors or on a warm climate region.

It was a pretty good day, with a text in the morning asking to do game night (Hello Kitty multiplayer) early because of unexpected work things for my friend's husband. They accidentally inspired part of my plans for tomorrow's outing, mentioning their favorite lunch spot that is a chain (CAVA) that we also have here in the exact area I am heading. I've never been there, so I am curious to see if their food is mild enough for me. Being so sensitive to any spice whatsoever is a royal pain, but we shall see. The problem with the outing is that now it's going to be earlier and longer than expected, so I might not have time to organize a blog post for the evening. If that's the case, I will be back on Thursday evening :) Meanwhile I hope you're all having a fantastic day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Luna Chelsea Variety

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I've got a variety of treats from Luna Chelsea Creations, all of which are free with their VIP group tag. That is currently free to join, and they've got so many wonderful ways for us to appreciate the perks of membership :) There are tons of group gifts (some of which have appeared here over the years) and an entire VIP lounge to the north. When you're facing the group gifts, that building will be to your right :) There are lucky chairs inside to the right, and camping chairs to the left, with two midnight mania boards immediately ahead of you when you enter the building. Hang around for a while and you just might win from the random prize giver too, which gives a special little something to one group member (with tag active) in the area every 20 minutes. I'll be showing you a mix of lucky chair prizes, group gifts, and a camping prize tonight.

I'm starting us out with their newest group gift, the LCC VERLAINE OUTFIT V1. All of their group gifts must be claimed by right clicking and paying $1L which is automatically refunded while the gift is delivered. This beauty includes the top and skirt in Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Lara X, Petite X, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Reborn, and Waifu sizing, along with a BOM pair of black panties. There's also a HUD for the outfit, offering 29 pattern colors each for top and skirt, plus 31 colors each for the trim and bow. Mixing and matching makes these outfits even more fun and versatile, don't you think?

The LCC JUNE DRESS 1.03 group gift is one of at least 4 in the same style, but with very different fabric patterns available, so the more the merrier! Our mini dress with ruched top and detached puff sleeves are provided in sizes for Freya, Isis, Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite mesh bodies, along with a 20 texture HUD. There are mostly denims and plaids on this HUD, and I am a big fan of both so I'm genuinely surprised I hadn't shared this one already :) I think this style is a timeless and feminine look, something I will wear any time of year with pleasure.

Next you'll need a little bit of luck to claim the LCC BLAIRE LACE - LATEX DRESS, as it is the prize from one of their 6 lucky chairs which change letters every 20 minutes. The contrast of latex and lace is an intriguing one, edgy yet with a delicate touch. We receive sizing for Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Kupra Natural, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Lara X, Petite X, Peach, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies, along with a BOM panty that I believe is included in every single treat I'm sharing tonight :) The HUD allows us to choose from 24 hues apiece for the top, trim, and main dress.

If you need something casual and breezy for a workout session or just hanging around with pals, keep your fingers crossed for the LCC JANELLA SPORTS SET-25 chair to display your initial :) Its top and shorts are each trimmed in white, but the main fabric will be your choice of 20 great colors via the enclosed HUD. There are sizes for Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Reborn, Waifu, and Star mesh bodies. 

My final look of the evening gave me an excuse to sort my inventory for a while, as it was earned by sitting in a camping chair for 60 minutes. The LCC RODINA JUMPSUIT fits Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Kupra Natural, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Peach, Reborn, Waifu, and Star mesh bodies. Its HUD has 27 fantastic textures, mostly denim but some nontraditional colors for that material, and only a few have the pocket decorations you see on the right above. Personally I am currently wearing this with a BOM bra I found while sorting pre-2009 inventory, LOL, like literally outfits that predate mesh clothing and had skirts with that little panel in the front? Yeah, my inventory is old as hell and I need to camp out for everything else they offer here ;) More time to sort!!

It was a frazzle sort of day, as going out was more stressful than I'd expected somehow. The traffic is ridiculously increased already, even this far ahead of Thanksgiving, so avoiding rush hour is barely a thing. I got food and a few other necessities, 3 stops in the same general area, and my stomach was uneasy which made the outing even more icky. I'm okay and got through it, even if I despised every second of it while out. My hockey team lost in overtime after what should have been their game winning goal was disallowed 23 seconds before OT started, nothing like taking the wind out of their sails. At least tomorrow's game night with my friend will be fun :) I reached a big milestone in HKIA earlier, finding a certain character (Milk) which allows him to visit now that his cabin is ready too. The cuteness cannot be overstated, lol, imagine a baby puppy who has a pacifier and only speaks in emojis 😍. He's got several friends already on the island, who are all very happy to see him finally. Well I hope you're all having a nice day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Luna Chelsea Gifts

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we are visiting Luna Chelsea Creations, where we can find a large wall outside with group gifts to enjoy. Their group is currently free to join, and most of the gifts are set up to right click - pay $1L which is refunded automatically while your new treat is delivered to you. I tried left click - deliver from the blue menu that popped up, but it seems like that doesn't work if the item is 'no copy' which many of these were. Reminder that anything 'no copy' should be rezzed out and unpacked manually in case you need the item inside that doesn't have permission to be copied into your inventory :) I deeply appreciate this brand's continued generosity, and urge you to check out their VIP lounge with camping chairs and lucky chairs for group members too while you're here.

My first look is the charming NOVALEE DRESS FX gift. It bares one shoulder while having a fun loose-fitting short sleeve on the left, and skims down to a playful skirt with a couple little slits in the front. There are sizes for Erika, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. We also receive a wonderful HUD that has 72 colors to choose from apiece for the dress and its attached belt, so the possibilities are nearly endless here.

This stunning dress is one of four variations of the same terrific style! JUNE DRESS 1,01 (lcc) is provided in Freya, Isis, Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite mesh body sizing, with a HUD offering 9 texture options. All of these are color variations of what you see here, floral pattern with a coordinating solid color on the ruffles, bow, and front center panel. It's so flattering, and something about it just whispered 'spring' to me :)

I hope you realized I was going to share another of those 4 versions I mentioned of this beautiful gift :) This is the JUNE DRESS 1,04 (lcc) and it comes in the same sizes as version 1,01 above, however this one has a HUD inside with 22 patterns and 41 solids if I counted those little buttons correctly. It is indeed another floral pattern, in so many terrific colors that I cannot even begin to choose just one favorite. Obviously the dress looks just as fantastic as a solid color though, so we have plenty of those to choose from as well.

Next I decided we needed a quick romantic flashback with the JANELLE VALENTINES ED gift ♥. I've said it before and will happily say it again - hearts are not limited to one day of the year in my world, and the pattern on the skirt has many different styles of abstract sketches of hearts that give it a funky flavor :) The dress fits eBody Curvy, Freya, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Kups, Legacy, Maitreya, Peach, Reborn, and Slink Hourglass mesh bodies. It also has a HUD of course, with 19 colors for the top and 18 for the skirt. Why the extra for the top, you may wonder? The black that goes with all of the skirt choices is the added one, and I'm showing it on the right side. All the others are solid hues to go with the shades you may choose for the hearts on a black background. That high-low bubble hem is such a fun detail, I feel like I belong in a 90s dance music video remade for today!

For my final look this evening, I shimmied into the MAY GROUP GIFT which is making me long for a tropical retreat. The pretty rose bouquets on the dark black background are dramatic in the best way, and I am always drawn to one-shoulder styles and asymmetrical hemlines to really catch the eye. This gift includes sizing for Erika, Kupra, Kups, Kups Squeezed, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn mesh bodies, plus the hair flower shown which is "mod for resize". I am so bad at adjusting things like that in a hurry, lol, so it might not be the best fit but I could have fidgeted with it for an hour and still had similar results. I think it'll look cute with many different types of hairstyles, but if it isn't your thing, you can certainly leave it in the folder and your dress will still look gorgeous.

It was a quiet day here in the sense that I didn't leave the house, but my hockey team fired their coach and then they won their game tonight :) Another thing that's been capturing my attention is a new cozy game, Hello Kitty Island Adventure. Yep, this middle aged lady is playing another game that is suitable for children, lol, and I am absolutely loving it! I did collect Sanrio things for many years, so I'm already familiar with the characters, and it is just something soothing and pleasant to do that can distract me a bit from anxiety and depression. We've got to support that idea, right? If a game gives me the chance to wander around an island with Hello Kitty and her friends, collecting seashells and baking cakes with her, I am going to indulge my inner child and have fun with it. The weather might be a bit rainy off and on the next few days, but holy cow how are we getting up to 82 on Saturday?!?!? The rest of the next couple weeks is all in the 50s or 60s, so that is startling. I hope you're all having a nice day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

POSH Event Slays

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we are headed to the POSH Event, where there are some free group gifts at various displays but also a new twist, the SlayHER Hunt. This has us looking by the displays and in the cemetery in the middle of the event building, for cats with pumpkins who give free gifts when clicked. I had a lot of fun exploring, and found lots of treats that I am pleased to share with you here. The group is free to join and needed to click the cats as well as the gifts in traditional giftboxes, so I am not really distinguishing between them here which is partly because I lost track ;)

For my first look of the night, I got fancy with our YENI GOWN by BA Store gift. Black Angel is offering a long elegant gown in sizes for Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, Juicy, and Waifu mesh bodies. We also receive a HUD with 20 colors of the subtle scale pattern you see above, and I love them all! I went with earthy, autumn colors for the image to go with the general theme of our event.

I am such a fan of the .:BARRIO:. Lazie Set Treat gift, which almost reminds me of a chalkboard being decorated with neon chalks or markers for the holiday :) The tank dress has built in panties, and fits eBody, eBody Juicy Boobs, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Peach mesh bodies. It's tempting to add a pair of leggings beneath for cooler weather, but it's still fairly warm in RL here so I am good with the outfit as-is.

One of several prizes from Summer On The Hill Boutique is their [SOTH] Marriott Dragoncon Outfit I'm enjoying above. The pattern reminds me of mosaic artwork, great shades of blue with gold and red. Our strapless top and flirty skirt each come in Erika, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh body sizing. You can probably tell from the rear view that the skirt lifts up on the right side, flashing a little booty, and there is also a thong panty built into the skirt so there is a bit of modesty.

Next I almost took very adult photos with the intention of censoring them in photoshop, but instead I remembered these pasties I have :) The event gift is our HORL - Ella Harness, separate top and bottom pieces that will fit Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Lara X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. This outfit is basically comprised of straps and metallic closures, very intricate and beautifully crafted. Of course this is not an adult blog so I needed to hide the essentials, lol, so that brings us to the E C R U: Modesty Tattoos which are a free gift from the marketplace. They are BOM layers and we receive upper, lower, and a full layer that includes both, so that last one is the one I chose. They are tintable, but I left them default white to really show off the contrast. What color would you have tinted them?

One final look of the evening, I slipped into the Luna Chelsea gift called RUNE STYLE SET 5. This playful outfit includes the top, sleeves, skirt, and boots, all in sizes for Kupra, Kups, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn bodies. The hat I'm wearing is also included (and as usual I am not wearing hat-friendly hair, oopsie) and there is a black bucket bag which is not shown. On the right I removed the hat and sleeves, so you could get an idea of the versatility of having so many potential components that we can wear all at once or a bit more pared down. The gold crescent moons look great against the purple, and I certainly feel magical!

Today did not go as smoothly as I'd have liked, but I was glad to see my parents for dinner. Getting there and even more so getting home were not great, and my stomach is still reacting to the anxiety. I have no idea what to expect from Sunday's therapy session, as I am still backsliding from my own point of view at least. There is no lunch special at the farmers market tomorrow, so I don't know yet what I'll be eating but I have some leftovers (gluten free chicken tenders) from dinner that are sounding like a good idea for tomorrow's dinner. I've started visiting the Halloween Shop & Hop, always a fun experience and loaded with blogging potential :) There are several other events and hunts for me to check out this weekend too, never a dull moment in SL. I hope you all have a fantastic weekend ahead, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Luna Chelsea Treats

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we are exploring some of the group gifts currently being offered for the Luna Chelsea group, which is free to join. There are at least a dozen gifts offered, some of which you can left click - deliver and if that fails you can right click - pay $1L and be reimbursed immediately while the gift is delivered to you. I never know what makes the difference there, something in the vendor's settings I assume, but either way they are essentially free since you will be repaid that linden dollar :) You'll also notice lots of lucky chairs, which are also a benefit of group membership, and if you're there for a while (I was while stalking those lucky chairs!) you might win a gift from the random prize giver that every 20 minutes picks one of the avatars in the store with the group tag active. The midnight mania board in this same building gives a gift card so you can select your own reward, and no group is needed for that one.

My first look of the evening is the newest group gift called JUNI GROUP GIFT JAN 2024 ED. This lovely dress comes in Belleza Classic, Belleza Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh body sizes, with a free bonus of BOM panties. They are black but you can modify them and change their color if you wish, and I really appreciate having the option for modesty provided :)

Another irresistible group gift is their CLEO SET broderie ed outfit, which is comprised of a short sleeved top with sweetheart neckline and puffed sleeves, and a high waisted miniskirt whose hem is gently pleated. Each piece fits eBody Reborn, Juicy, Mounds, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Push Up Nerido, Maitreya, and Petite mesh bodies, and we also get a handy HUD with 72 colors for each part. The top has a delicate design of tiny holes so there is a touch of sheerness, just a little extra flirt factor.

I suppose the recent RL snow made me crave something tropical, like this gorgeous MAY GROUP GIFT. It includes sizes for Erika, Kupra, Kupra Squeezed, Kups, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn bodies. The dress has a playful diagonal style, with the single shoulder and asymmetrical hemline, and the dark background really makes the bright flowers pop. Speaking of flowers, that beauty I'm wearing in my hair is provided in this gift too, modifiable so you can adjust it as needed. That flower is probably the biggest factor of my feeling tropical while wearing this, don't you think?

Next I changed into the LATISHA DRESS group gift, which is a long flowing maxi dress with sheer lace top. There are Freya, Isis, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and Reborn mesh body sizes included, as well as an impressive 72 color HUD for the dress and ties. I would probably have to wear pasties beneath for most places I usually visit, or layer a cute jacket over it for these cooler months.

I claimed my final look of the evening when my initial showed up on one of the lucky chairs, and boy am I grateful! The SHANDY DRESS LACE FX ED has a beautiful style with sheer lace midriff that is split in the back so from behind it looks like a two piece outfit. We receive sizes for Freya, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Legacy, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn mesh bodies, along with 2 helpful HUDs. The color HUD has 72 hues to choose from, and the special effects HUD allows us to adjust shine, environment, glow, transparency, and reflective color so you can really customize this as long as your viewer settings allow :) I basically just started clicking different buttons to see what happened, LOL, which is not necessarily the wisest way to do things but I could always have unpacked a new copy if I truly messed things up. 

My day was fine, but the evening had a frustrating hockey game with officials who called an obscene number of penalties. During the game, my team had to trade a future potential star they'd drafted who decided he didn't want to play here, and would no longer communicate with the team apparently. Eww. Imagine just refusing to talk to your boss and managers anymore because you think you're too good for them. As he wasn't ready for the big leagues yet anyway, he was playing in college and doing well there. That does not guarantee NHL success of course, and all I can think of is the famous hockey saying that you play for the name/logo on the front of the jersey, not the name on the back. Well I hope you're all having a pleasant day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Mischief Menagerie

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I've got some goodies from the Mischief Menagerie MMM Christmas Shopping Event, all of which are free gifts for their equally free to join event group. Have a walk around and browse the treats from many talented designers, and you can click the pretty wrapped gift boxes at most of the displays to receive the treats I'm sharing tonight and many more. We have until the 30th to stop by, but you might want to use some of these before then so I hope you get the chance to explore soon :)

This first look made me say "girl, SAME" and chuckle because this is 100% how I prefer to handle not just Christmas shopping but year round stuff in RL. It's our DBD Online Outfit gift from Designs by Danielle, and consists of the cozy shirt and skinny jeans each in sizing for eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh bodies. The snug jeans have just the right amount of wear and tear to make them look well loved and comfy.

For a fantastic dressy look, be sure to click the Finale Couture gift to claim their Pizzazz - Smoke dress and accessories. There are two versions of the dress, smoke (seen on the left above) and solid smoke (right), each in Freya, Isis, Hourglass, Legacy, and Maitreya sizes. Our soft gold heels fit Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink High feet, and we also receive the gold earrings and necklace which all have resize scripts built in. All I need is a pair of panties and I am ready to head out on the town!

Next I changed into the Telsiope's Couture Ada Christmas gift, a short dress that could double as a long tunic top if you prefer to layer some pants beneath. Included are sizes for Belleza Classic, Belleza Curvy, eBody Reborn, Kupra, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh bodies, all with that great knit texture in red and cream. I do prefer my snowflakes to be virtual like on a sweater pattern ;) 

How about some lingerie to raise temperatures this winter? The LUNA CHELSEA GABRIELLA XMAS SET V1 gift seems like a perfect choice for that, in red tartan that does have a seasonal flavor just like the snowy white poofballs on the strings. The body and arms are separate pieces, with the arms including the garters on the thighs (I'm wearing just the body on the right), all in sizes for Erika, Freya, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn bodies. It is hard to decide which way I like it better, with or without the arms, so I deeply appreciate having both options.

For my final look of the night, I chose the wonderful Tea Lane gift called ~TL~ Reindeer Tank Top. The top is provided in 4 men's sizes as well as Altamura, Freya, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, eBody Reborn, eBody Reborn V-Tech, Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Flat, Petite, Lara X *yaay!*, Lara X Petite, Rebirth, and Rebirth Petite versions. The bottoms are provided too, as leggings (left above) and jeans (right) in BOM layers. Their red color is just the right shade to bring out the scarf around our adorable reindeer friend's neck :) I also see gloves of that hue, and baubles on his little antlers, just so precious!

Whew, why are my weekends busier than my weekdays? LOL that is rhetorical, don't worry...I had a therapy session this afternoon and it went relatively well considering I had such a setback on Thursday that I had to tell him all about. I've been braving the wilds of NextDoor because there were several loud booms last night again (happened about a month ago too) like 10 minutes or more apart, so not fireworks and deeper, louder explosion type sounds. Nobody on there was sure what they were, and I'm glad my area's participants on there are not too bad ;) Sometimes you hear things about people being really hateful on that site, so I only peek when something very local happens that I can't find out about any other way. Oh well, I hope you all enjoyed your weekend and have a lovely week ahead, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Posh Event Goodies

 Hiya everyone! Tonight it's time to visit the POSH Event, where they are celebrating the holiday season with tons of free gifts. Some need the free group tag to claim them, so I marked them all as group gifts to be on the safe side. I have enjoyed exploring this particular event many times in the past, so it was a pleasure again and I plan on stopping by future rounds too :) There were many generous gifts and some of the designers are catering to the more curvy bodies like Kupra so if that sounds like you, this is the place to be. The vibe is sexy, flattering ladies fashions and the round is open until the 23rd of the month.

My first look this evening is the SLC Christmas Sleek Gown rose, which is indicated as a dollarbie but when I paid the $1L it was immediately refunded while the gift was delivered. I assure you it would be well worth it regardless :) This beauty is provided in sizes for Belleza Gen X Classic, Belleza Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Reborn, and Reborn Mounds bodies. I adore the color, and the way the frosty snowflakes really pop against it!

Allure Couture has two free gifts for us at their display, so be sure to pick up both of them from their respective gift bags. On the left above I am wearing their Holly Winter Dress Set Red, which consists of the toasty knit sweater dress and panties each in Freya, Isis, Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite sizing, with matching thigh high boots to fit Belleza, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Slink feet. Then on the right we see their Aubree Sweater Set Winter Gold & Brown gift. The sweater and pants are each included in sizes for Freya, Hourglass, Legacy, and Maitreya bodies, with ankle boots to fit Belleza, Legacy, Maitreya, and Slink feet. I'm very grateful that we don't even have to decide between casual or more dressy since both gifts are completely free!

The gift at !KK's display contains 3 treats, two of which I'm showing off here, starting with the !KK Blaire Dress Winter on the left. This eye-catching mini dress is a great shade of winter white, created with one short sleeve and daring openings yet covering all the essentials. It fits Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh bodies. Then on the right I changed into their !KK Harajuku Lover dress, a burst of bright colors and anime style artwork in sizes for Kupra, Kups, Legacy, and Maitreya bodies. They both deserve to be worn to clubs, depending on what type of locale you usually patronize, or just your next hot date night :)

Next I get to show off the [S&C] Ilia dress - pink/blue - gift from Spells & Charms To Go. Each color of this gauzy dress includes Freya, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP mesh body sizes. The long slit sleeves are a fantastic detail, just like the snowy neckline with trails of sparkles and flakes extending all the way down to the hem. Did you notice that it's built with 2 layers for added visual interest? Both are so translucent that it is still quite revealing, which means I will just have to snuggle closer to Xan while wearing it this chilly winter ;)

For my final look this evening, I slipped into the HALO dress which is our gift from Luna Chelsea. It has lovely draped sleeves and a wide boat neck (just right for a short necklace) on its solid top, then at the waist it becomes extra daring ;) There is a considerable amount of transparency so lots of skin peeking through. Our gift includes Freya, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, eBody Reborn, Erika, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh body sizes, with a 72 color HUD so we can change the color whenever we wish. That is an impressive number of shades to pick from, like an ultra-fatpack all for free. 

I'm listening to Christmas music to get myself more into the holiday mindset, and it does help so I'm in a festive mood :) The weather is about to get rainy for the bulk of the day tomorrow, so my trip to the farmers market will be a wet one but I'm sure still fun as always. That forgetful feeling is back, and I'm trying to figure out if that is a common feature of anxiety or just a personal quirk. I hope you all have a fantastic weekend ahead, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
