Inside Your Inventory Gifts

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I zipped all around SL to some wonderful stores, looking for gifts to share for the Inside Your Inventory group. It's just $10L to join, and lots of great designers taking part by sending notices about their newest releases and sales. Of course they also have the option to offer a group gift in their store for us members, and I am grateful for that as well :) I never know what amazing gifts I'll find, so this type of post is always an adventure with fantastic rewards.

This gorgeous outfit is the Bens Beauty - Persea Skirt & Top group gift for Inside Your Inventory. They have a wall full of treats for various groups with white hovertext indicating which group, so you might see other familiar names too :) Our top and skirt both fit Freya, Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh bodies. The gift also includes a HUD with 10 solid colors for the skirt, and the same 10 solids plus 7 patterns for the top. We can have a fun time experimenting with those buttons, and I especially like the bare shouldered style of the top. 

BlondeQueen is offering a cleverly crafted pair of dresses in one great gift called BQ::Karissa Mini Dress w/Scarf:: White & Black. The built in scarf really stands out both literally and figuratively, with one side draped around the right arm and the other flowing out and behind us like we're in a breeze. The black and white versions are each provided in sizes for Legacy, Lara X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. I love the patterns on each being similar yet distinct, and the monochromatic look is simply marvelous. Some days I want to wear all the colors, others I might be craving one (like today I must wear pink, tomorrow I need bright green) but yet other times it's so fun to go classic black and white.

If your mood has you wanting something red hot to wear, our {Le'La} Dalinna Dress Gift is more than happy to answer the call. Its shiny fabric is trimmed on all edges with bold lace that is also embossed on the waist, and the asymmetrical hemline is mimicked by the slightly off-kilter neckline. Pick up this treat and you'll receive sizing for Erika, Kupra, Kups, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Reborn, Juicy Boobs, and Squeezed bodies. I am confident that it'll be very flattering on all of those :)

Next I visited TRS Designs where I found their lovely Madelynn Bodysuit Jade as the gift for this group. It is on a back wall with gifts for other groups, their own store group, and 2 midnight mania boards that don't need a group tag at all. The vivid shade of green is delightful, and I'm always drawn to outfits with ruffles :) The bodysuit fits Lara X, Legacy, Bombshell, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies.

For my final look of the evening, I stopped by HORL and found the lovely Cammy Dress as our current group gift. The snowy white fabric has a subtle knit texture, and the dress is gathered on the left with strings that tie on the left thigh to raise it ever so slightly. There are sizes included for Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Lara X, Nhumana, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. We can get quite creative with accessorizing this one, either adding tons of colors or keeping things neutral. It just depends on your mood and your personal style :)

How was everyone's weekend? Mine was a mixed bag really, but I am trying to go into the week ahead with a positive mindset. The farmers market was quiet but the weather was good, and my favorite dog was there being his usual adorable self :) Therapy was intense, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing...sometimes I have to face hard truths and it feels good to get things off my chest. I'm trying not to get too worked up about Thursday's dentist visit, at least not yet? LOL! It is truly a good thing to have SL to distract myself with :) I hope you're all having a pleasant day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Paparazzi Goodies

Hiya everyone! Tonight's post will have you looking for cameras, which appear on the Paparazzi group sign which is nearby each of the gifts I'm sharing. This is a wonderful multi-designer group, currently free to join, and brings together lots of brands with notices about their new releases, special sales, and more. They can also offer a gift for the group if they wish, and that's what you will be seeing in this post :) You might want to take pictures too, just not skulking in the bushes like the RL paps ;) I do have a Lady Gaga earworm as a result of course, but just about every song I think about gets stuck in my head eventually so that will change many times before I wrap things up.

First up, we see the lovely Ozana Set by BlackbirdLace. This gift includes the top and skirt, each in sizes for Freya, Isis, Hourglass, Hourglass Petite, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, and Maitreya mesh bodies. The monochromatic print of the top has an elegant feeling with edgy twist, and the belted skirt is a breezy choice for any time of year.

Fatal Fashion has a fun and casual treat for us called ::FF:: Top & Pants Melliny. The knotted t-shirt says SEXY on the front in graffiti style lettering, and the jeans have a snug fit with lots of bright golden zipper detailing. These pieces will both fit Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, and Waifu bodies. I think the warm color of the shirt feels autumnal, and I always look for new casual sets to wear when the weather cools off. 

This flirtatious look is our DM ~ Alissia Set Gift from DM Design. The top and panties are separates in sizing for Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Classic, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies. I do appreciate the fun animal print for a wild weekend, and the sheer striped ruffles are a wonderful touch!

Next I've changed into the eye-catching {Le'La} Leo Bodysuit Set Gift. That sapphire blue color is gorgeous, isn't it? The bodysuit and garters are each provided in Erika, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Nerido, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Reborn, and Juicy mesh body sizes. I love the silver chains attached and draping in the front and both sides. Please remember that I'm wearing nipple covers, so the sheer sections of the bust might be a bit more revealing than my image might show. 

For my final look of the night I've added a stunning gift from LUMINESSE jewelry. Their LUM-Abundant Love Aqua Pendant reminds me of peacock feathers somehow (and yes, that is a good thing) with amethysts dotting the aqua hearts so beautifully. The necklace is adjustable and has a resize script built in, so just give it a click to change the size and right click - edit to move the positioning. I nudged it down and rotated it a little but kept the size the same for this photo, and I think it suits my shape well :) There are so many styles of shirt or dress that we can wear this necklace with, I'm excited to add it to my virtual jewelry box.

Yesterday was a busy but decent day, and my appointment went smoothly so all is well. The extra stops after were annoying but necessary, which is a huge part of adulting lately anyway ;) I could really tell how bad my vision is getting from the cataracts while in the car (as a passenger only) yesterday and today, so I really do need to get all that moving along. I hope you all have a terrific weekend ahead, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Luck at Le'La

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we are visiting the Le'La store, where the group is currently $100L to join and that gets us access to dozens of group gifts as well as their lucky chairs, lucky boards, and midnight mania boards for even more treats. These are all in a separate building, so my link should direct you there or you can go out the front door and look on the ground for a sparkly path leading to the building :) I'm still always gobsmacked by the notion of needing an entire building to hold all the free gifts and prizes you're offering for your group members!

I'm starting the evening with the newest group gift called {Le'La} Balma Swimsuit Outfit. This flirty bikini has extra straps and beads on both pieces, which really adds visual appeal. The top and panties are each provided in Erika, Kupra, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, and Waifu sizing. There's also a HUD of course, with 20 colors apiece for the bra, bra strings, bra beads, panties, panties strings, and panties beads. This means we can do a whole lot of customization here to make this look our own :) 

I won the {Le'La} Idun Bodysuit prize from the lucky boards on the left side of the back wall, and I am so glad I did! This suit could also serve as a swimsuit in my opinion, and it is provided in sizing for Erika, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh bodies. Its HUD lets us choose from an impressive 70 textures each for the main fabric and the trim, with a mix of solid colors and patterns. As you can see, I like having the trim in a contrasting hue to make it stand out :) Of course and as always, I urge you to choose the colors or combo that makes you happy, as that is what fashion is all about.

This pretty and playful look is another lucky board prize, the {Le'La} Eevi Outfit. It includes the bare shouldered tied top, shorts with slit sides, and shoes that remind me of a cross between sneakers and moon boots. All of these will fit Erika, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite mesh bodies. There is also a HUD that offers 20 colors each for the top, shorts, and 4 sections of the shoes, so play with those buttons and get wild! 

The lucky chairs around the room are loaded with fantastic prizes too, like this {Le'La} Brigida Dress - UPDATEX. The dress and a cover (crotch cover that is) are each included in Erika, Gen X Classic/Dainty, Gen X Curvy/Dainty, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Peach, and Reborn mesh body sizing. As you can tell, there is also a HUD enclosed, and that lets us pick from 50 textures each for top and skirt, 30 solid colors for the cover, and 5 metals. The dress is revealing but not overly so, and I deeply appreciate the versatility. 

For my final look this evening, we're having a peek at another lucky chair prize called {Le'La} Angelina Outfit. The top, pants, and heels are all designed for Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh bodies. We can select from 30 colors for each piece with the included HUD, so let the mixing and matching commence! HUDs make me happy, just like this flirtatious style with its bare shouldered top with flared long sleeves, low cut pants with visible thong, and the most slender stiletto heels imaginable.

My weekend was fine, nothing particularly noteworthy really. That's not necessarily a bad thing, as quiet times are very welcome to someone with anxiety :) I'm trying to plan out my week ahead, and I think I've got things ironed out already which is a pleasant surprise. Tomorrow's support group session ought to be interesting, and I am very happy that August in SL is here with new rounds of everything :) I hope you're all having a lovely day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Sassy and Swanky

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we swing by the SWANK Event again for their Pride Hunt which is part of the Celebration of Colors themed round this month. The gifts are found inside rainbow striped flames, easy to spot and free if you have their free group tag active :) Be sure to explore both floors of this impressively sized event, and I'm confident that you will be very pleased with the sales offers and gifts you encounter. I obviously was as usual, lol, and will always happily plan on a high priority visit to these events.

My first look of the evening is a playful bodysuit with artwork of a voodoo doll seated on the front. The [LABELITA] Camilla Body Red gift includes sizes for Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Reborn, and Juicy mesh bodies. I'm not sure exactly what the doll signifies, but he looks like he could use a hug. I'm always up for that :) The ruffles are a flattering detail, and I always wind up drawn to the boldness of bright red.

Some of the treats are indeed Pride themed, like our Nala Design - Marianna Pride Outfit 1. The dress, anklets, and heels are all designed to fit Legacy, Perky, Petite, Maitreya, Maitreya Petite, Lara X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. We also receive the rainbow earrings you see here, which go so well with the bands on the dress and the platforms of the shoes :) Speaking of shoes, how fun are those chains that drape across the toes and then along both sides? The anklets are optional since they are separate, but I do think they add a special something to the look.

{Le'La} Makana Set Gift is another great gift that you do not want to miss :) The top, cardigan, and skirt each come in sizes for Erika, Erika Bubble, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Kups, Legacy, Nerido, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Reborn, and Juicy bodies. Then we can add the garters which fit Erika, Erika Squeeze, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Kupra Maze, Legacy, Legacy Maze, Reborn, and Reborn Maze thighs. The little heart shaped coin purse on the left garter is a really clever touch, and in case it's not clear the tank top says "Limited Edition". Yes, we are!

Find the Black Angel Store flame, and you'll receive their VESNA DRESS by BA Store as your reward :) I must say, leopard print is one of those things that may rise in prominence from time to time but never truly goes out of style. It looks great here on the top and straps, contrasting the black skirt which looks oh so sexy with that opening on the left thigh. There are Erika, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh body sizes included. 

For my last look of the night, I combined two gifts that look so nice together that I've been wearing this outfit off and on for a couple of weeks now ;) The Vulnus Pride Hunt Gift knotted top has rainbow colored trim to match the rainbow arch and clouds on the front, and the upper back says "Vulnus 4 Pride" in multicolored text. We receive sizing for Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. Then I added our AXE SHORT ESTELA GIFT, one of my favorite pairs of shorts I've seen in SL in ages :) The floral pattern has lovely 60s and 70s vibes, just so bright and cheery, and the length is nice if you're wanting a decent amount of coverage (no cheeks hanging out lol) without feeling stuffy. They fit Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, and Reborn mesh bodies. With all those pretty colors of flowers, you could wear just about any top that you wish with these!

It felt like a long weekend, like each day went pretty slowly for me...I'm glad I went to the farmers market and it was nice despite being fairly hot, and I am relieved that I got lots of rest today. I don't know yet when I'll be going out anywhere this week, but it will most likely be to get my eyeglasses finally. The weather may affect that, but it just seems like common sense to have glasses as backup anyway when you wear contact lenses. I hope you're all enjoying your day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Le'La For MLM Free&Offers

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we're visiting the Le'La store, but rather than their store group ($100L to join) this time we are peeking at some of their many treats for the MLM Free&Offers group. This one is a multi-designer group with a small $5L fee to join, and this brand has got several goodies waiting for the members :) The Le'La store has an entire building dedicated to group gifts, so just head out the front door and follow the sparkly path on the ground to locate this bounty of gifts.

My first look of the evening is the {Le'La} Zenia Outfit gift, which is versatile to be appropriate for any season. The dress, boots, and sheer coverup are all provided in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies, with a HUD offering 20 colors each for dress and boots. The coverup is always sheer with black edging and floral embroidery, such lovely detailing!

For your next outing on a sunshiny day, you might want to reach for the {Le'La} Fanny Summer Set GIFT in your virtual wardrobe :) It starts with the gorgeous dress with deep V neckline and diagonal hem trimmed with patterned ruffle, then continues with the laced up sandals in vibrant yellow. There are sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies of each piece. All we really need to add is our favorite panties and perhaps a special piece of jewelry if you wish to accessorize a little more.

Sometimes you just need a simple, elegant tube dress, and the {Le'La} Aerrine Dress GIFT is a wonderful choice. This beauty is a bit longer than typical minidresses in SL, and is designed to hug every curve just right. We receive Freya, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh body sizes, along with a HUD that lets us pick from 10 colors for the dress and 4 for the belt. It's fun to play with the HUD to come up with the combo that suits your mood :)

I really like vibrant colors for summer, so the {Le'La} Ansii Dress Gift also caught my eye immediately. It can be your choice of 5 pretty colors when you use the enclosed HUD, all with black ruffles and accents to show off the floral pattern. There are Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizes included. Something about those asymmetrical hemlines really captivate me.

For my final look of the night, I've slipped into the {Le'La} Xiuying Set Gift. The folder said "Rasen dress" instead, but the contents match up with what you're seeing here :) The flirty bra top and laced up skirt are each provided in sizing for Erika, Freya, Hourglass, Kupra (Bimbo, Low, Original), Legacy, Maitreya, Flat, Petite, and Reborn mesh bodies. The soft lavender looks lovely against the crisp white, and I couldn't help but notice the fun detail of the strings for the top being white but the ones on the skirt slits being lavender to match the edging :)

Hair note: as soon as I saw that Truth Hair had a new release at the Hair Fair, I ran over there immediately to demo! Naturally I loved it and bought it in the essential pack, so it was $500L but 50% of that is donated to Wigs for Kids. This charity provides wigs for children with hair loss from alopecia, cancer, etc., so their mental wellbeing can be boosted during their healing journeys. I'm always eager to help out with charities, and even though I'm not a parent I do find myself drawn to organizations that help out kids. Speaking of kids/parents, this hairstyle is a collab between Truth and his RL daughter, which is incredibly sweet and impressive!

It was a nice weekend here, with beautiful weather for the farmers market on Saturday and a really in-depth therapy session today. It's no secret that finding out I need cataract surgeries threw me for a loop or two, lol, so I think talking about it to someone trained to guide me through that fear and stress was extremely helpful. Step one is to get my eyeglasses since before the consult appointment (not scheduled yet) I have to be without my contacts for 2 full weeks so they can do a proper fitting for the artificial lenses. I've struggled in the past with glasses for various reasons, and misplaced the last pair I owned. Right now I'm not thinking about anything past that step of getting new glasses. Meanwhile I am so excited that June is here and that will mean so many wonderful things in SL :) New rounds of events and hunts are always exciting, and Pride month means all the rainbow goodness we can imagine and more. I hope you're all having a pleasant day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Lovely Looks from Le'La

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I am happy to share some more group gifts from {Le'La}, whose group is currently $100L to join. I've been a member for quite some time and have always been grateful, between the group gifts and lucky chairs and lucky boards, plus midnight mania boards...then in December we get a daily Advent calendar too :) There is a separate building for all of these gifts, so just follow the sparkly path on the ground (or go towards the red arrow from my link) to find the goodies. 

For my first look I've slipped into the flirty {Le'La} Tina Set Gift. The unpacker named the folder Frida Bodysuit instead, but the contents and image inside are definitely Tina :) It consists of the bra, panties, and lacy skirt in sizes for Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Reborn, and Mounds mesh bodies, along with a HUD offering 16 colors for each. I'm always a fan of those HUDs and the ability to change the look on a whim :)

I had so much fun playing with the HUD that comes with our {Le'La} Raima Dress Gift! That's because it has 20 textures to choose from, some of which are multicolored like you see on the left, and all of them are delightfully sparkly thanks to the sequined pattern on the dress. This beauty comes in sizing for Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies. Single shouldered dresses are fairly popular in SL, but I don't usually see them with a puffy long sleeve like this, nor have I seen that intriguing neckline before.

I really needed the {Le'La} Gillo Jacket & Dress Set Gift right about now, since my RL weather has gotten chilly again and dipped from 80+ to 45 degrees. A really cute jeans jacket like this would come in handy :) The jacket and tube dress are each provided in Freya, Isis, Venus, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Slink Hourglass, and Hourglass Petite mesh body sizes. There's also a HUD of course, offering 15 colors for our dress and 10 shades of denim for the jacket. 

Next I've changed into the charming {Le'La} Barbara Set Gift, which pairs a low cut sweater and snug miniskirt to great effect :) There are sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies foe each piece, and a HUD to choose from 5 floral patterns for the shirt and 4 matching solids for the skirt. Nice for spring, and the name made me think about how you don't see Barbara much these days but it is a very pretty name that a few of my classmates back in the day shared.

For shorter sleeves but a longer hemline, be sure to pick up the gorgeous {Le'La} Glow Dress group gift too. The daring slit on the left side certainly caught my attention, but the sweetheart neckline did too since I'm a huge fan of those in general. We receive Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh body sizing, along with a HUD that has 30 textures - 20 solid colors and 10 playful patterns. Do I adore them all? You betcha!

I had a much better day here than the past few, with more sleep and another awesome hockey game tonight :) Also the houseguest is gone, so I'm feeling greatly relieved. The spray to get rid of cat dander may have helped a little, not entirely but enough that it's more of an annoyance than a full blown asthma attack from my allergies going haywire. If I were visiting a home where someone had a severe allergy, I would do my best to avoid bringing it into their environment out of politeness, but clearly that doesn't occur to everyone. I have a few things to check out in SL the next few days, but right now we're in a lull between big rounds of events or hunts for the most part. I hope you're all having a peaceful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Group Goodies from Le'La

Hiya everyone! Tonight's post features several group gifts from Le'La, for their VIP group which is $100L to join. That group lets you claim dozens of gifts for free, as well as access to their lucky chairs, lucky boards, and midnight mania boards in the same building as the group gifts. That's right, it's an entire building just for treats! I've shared many of their gifts for other groups over the years too, so you probably already have a good idea of their quality and generosity. I wouldn't be posting this if I didn't truly believe it was a good investment, and this is not a sponsored post in any way :) Also noteworthy is that they have had an Advent calendar for several years each December, so it would be beneficial to stick around in the group for that season which currently feels soooo far away but time does fly lately. As a random note, I was already wearing my Lara X body and was curious to see which group gifts are currently available in that size, so this is a sampling of those specifically. 

First we have the lovely {Le'La} Fancya Dress Gift. I'm always glad to find a strapless mini for my wardrobe, and this one has a pretty ruffled hem to add some interest. It comes in Erika, Kupra, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh body sizes, along with a HUD that offers 40 options each for dress and ruffle. There are 20 solid colors and 20 patterns, so that makes for easy mixing and matching. Lots of florals, so it is nice for this time of year in particular.

The rear view of our {Le'La} Gracy Bodysuit group gift made my jaw drop! No shade against the front view of course, LOL, as it is delightfully flirty as well. There are sizes for Erika, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Khara, Kupra, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies provided. We've also got a HUD tucked in there of course, with 40 choices that include several ombres or gradients. I think it's got a bit of an sci-fi vibe, which I can't explain but that is what popped into my head. 

{Le'La} Ney Dress Gift is a sweet, fluttery mini dress with spaghetti traps and a floral print skirt beneath a solid split overlay. It fits Erika, Gen X Classic/Dainty, Gen X Curvy/Dainty, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies, with a HUD that offers 10 pastel shades. I am fond of those softer shades for springtime moods, but the black background of the patterned section is a nice touch to keep it from feeling overly girlie.

Next I changed into the charming {Le'La} Ralu Dress Gift. It caught my eye with those wide straps that are topped with a bow on each shoulder, and then I noticed the belt and ruffles being able to be customized with the HUD. That HUD offers 40 textures apiece for the dress, ruffle, belt, and border, 20 of which are solids and 20 patterns. We could do the entire dress one solid hue, or go wild and mix things up in dozens of ways :) The dress comes in sizing for Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, and Waifu bodies. It makes things so versatile that any one of these dresses with a HUD are alone worth the price of admission.

One final look of the evening, that would be our {Le'La} Abaily Set Gift. The tube top, puffed sleeves, and softly pleated skirt are each provided in Erika, Kupra, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh body sizes. The HUD offers 20 colors each for the top, sleeves, sleeves border, skirt, and skirt border. I will note that this morning I was unable to change the sleeves or their border, but all the other options worked. It could be an SL glitch, but worth noting just in case you have the same experience. I don't mention these things to badmouth anyone or complain, I promise :) Just think of how much scripting and coding goes into every single thing we do in SL, so I don't get bent out of shape if something decides not to work correctly one day; perfection is simply not possible.

Whew, the DMV was fun...it actually wasn't that bad, just very time consuming. I was there for about 45 minutes, and got my ID renewed without any trouble. Sitting and waiting was a little anxiety inducing, but I sat quietly and read a Reader's Digest that I brought because I enjoy the small stories and cute jokes. I don't have to pay full attention to the book, so I'm still aware of my surroundings and what number is being called. I hate the picture of course, because that's fairly typical with those ;) It was the third of 4 stops yesterday, so I really didn't have time for blogging even if I'd had the headspace. Tomorrow is gaming night with friends, and I am so excited for that as usual. I hope you're all having a nice day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Delightful Doves Dream

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we're back at the Doves Dream event, in the same region as Palomma Plaza which is noteworthy because that is the group tag you'll need to claim all the free gifts featured here. That's right, in addition to all the wonderful sales offers we can claim lots of generous gifts for the Palomma Plaza group with your "Doves Angel" tag active :) The event opened on Dove's heavenly birthday of March 11th, and continues until the 11th of April so you've got time to grab some demos, claim your gifts, and finalize your purchases. I've got my eye on at least three items to buy before then, lol, but I had to pay rent first of course. I love treating myself to something special in Dove's memory, and sharing these thoughtful gifts is a fun way for me to honor her.

My first look of the evening is the charming La Feminique Crystal gift. Isn't this perfect for spring? The short sleeved crop top and miniskirt are each provided in sizing for Erika, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Kups, Legacy, Perky, Petite, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, and Peach mesh bodies. The top has a keyhole opening whose trim converts to straps that wind around the midriff to tie in the back, what a fun detail! 

Maybe it's because I am a child of the 70s or it's just a love of bright colors, but I have always been drawn to tie dye like this stunning ~Sassy!~ Lenore tie-dyed dress. Our gift includes Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh body sizes, with a rainbow of colors and blue trim that matches the sheer ruffle on the neckline. We could pair this with just about any hue of jewelry or footwear, so it's quite versatile in addition to being so eye-catching.

A little something just right for warmer weather (which just arrived here in RL with a vengeance) can be found in the Suna Designs giftbox. Their S-Bebina purple bodysuit has buttons in the front but only one is in use, so we get a fun flash of navel :) The butterfly pattern made me smile, looking great in purple with slightly deeper purple halter strap and frilly edging. This cutie fits Belleza Classic, Belleza Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies with ease. 

The beautiful {Le'La} Zunaira Romper Gift brought a wistful smile to my heart, as I know that sunflowers were very special to Dove and reminded her of her sister who passed several years prior; Dove even had a Sunflower Park memorial garden for her beloved sister. Our outfit consists of the top, skirt, garters, and heels, all in sizes for Erika, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. Please note - this gift is one of two in the center area of the event, rather than at the Le'La booth itself. I had to remind myself to point that out because you simply don't want to miss out on this :)

I've got two gifts combined for my final look, either of which can also be paired up with many other gifts or items you already have in your wardrobe. The Adore Amore Madilyn Sweater White is a lovely long sleeved knit top that twists in the front, showing off cleavage and a bit of midriff. There are sizes for Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies included in our gift. In another nod to the classic fashions of the 70s, I'm wearing it with the aprelle palomma jeans. This gift has cherry blossoms down the front of each leg, and bellbottoms with solid pink inserts to match the flowers. The textures are exquisite, with the whiskering at the front pockets and hints of the folds that walking or sitting creates on the back of the knees. These will fit Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Lara X, Legacy, Muneca, and Reborn mesh bodies.

Did you all have a pleasant weekend? :) Mine was pretty good, starting with a few errands on Saturday morning before and after the farmers market. It was a bit stressful being in the car that long, but I got through it so that is a positive. Things are progressing very nicely in the Pokopia game I've been enjoying, and therapy was productive this evening. Randomly I'm listening to music tonight instead of watching old tv shows and I think it's boosting my mood more than I expected :) It's a 70s/80s channel from the satellite radio, nothing special, but music really does affect how we feel sometimes. It's good because I was starting to worry about Tuesday already, when I'll be heading to the DMV for half the day for my photo ID picture taking. Sitting there waiting is not easy for anyone, let alone someone with anxiety and panic attacks, so I'm just trying to prepare by having a book and my phone ready to distract myself. No blog post Tuesday, will be decompressing LOL, and spending my photo-and-note-taking time dealing with bureaucracy instead. Adulting, blah ;) I hope you're all having a cozy day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

MLM Free & Offers from Le'La

 Hiya everyone! Tonight's post features several gifts from Le'La, for the MLM Free & Offers group. There is a small $5L fee to join, which keeps the scammers out and encourages us to stay as a part of the group. I'm so impressed by the large number of gifts they are offering for this group, so this should certainly be one of your first stops when joining :) Multi-designer groups like this are such a fun way to find out the latest from various stores, plus find some generous gifts while we visit the participating brands, so I thoroughly enjoy this type of group. These gifts are all out in the building designated for group gifts, their own group ($100L to join I believe) and several others, so it is worth taking a peek around.

My first look is the lovely {Le'La} Salma Dress gift, which is a fun bare-shouldered dress with nearly detached sleeves and lots of playful stitching that includes embroidered flowers on the front. There are standard mesh sizes as well as Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh body sizing, plus the HUD that you probably guessed ;) That offers 10 colors of the denim fabric, a personal favorite of mine but surely I am not alone in that since it's been popular for several decades. 

Our {Le'La} Shira Set Gift is in such a pretty shade of blue, slightly smoky with a silvery tone that makes it match the silver chains even better. The top and skirt are separates in sizes for Erika, Erika Bubble, Gen X Classic/Dainty, Gen X Curvy/Dainty, Kupra, Legacy, Nerido, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Reborn, and Juicy mesh bodies. I am so taken with the neckline, that collar with draped chains that are much like the ones draped from the belt where front pockets would be. No need for jewelry here, at least not a necklace :) I might choose a silver bracelet or pair of earrings if I wanted to jazz things up a bit, and silver heels would look amazing. 

I am also eager to share the {Le'La} Bloom Dress gift, since it serves as a great reminder that no matter how cold the winter may be, spring is still coming eventually :) Our one shouldered top is textured in various hues of denim, with the skirt in assorted floral patterns, with 10 sets (pre-paired) on the enclosed HUD. The dress is provided in eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh body sizing.

Next we see the sizzling {Le'La} Vanessa Dress which is yet another generous gift for the MLM group. This halter dress has a daringly draped neckline and side notch on the skirt, showing off lots of skin without revealing too much ;) It fits Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP mesh bodies, with 15 textures via HUD. Those choices are a mix of solids and patterns, so I chose one of each for the photo. It's no secret that I appreciate the variety, and will always share multiple options when there is a HUD involved so you know immediately when viewing the image :) 

My final look this evening is a cozy style for the brisk weather, and easily solves the problem of what footwear to enjoy with our new dress. The {Le'La} Penny Outfit consists of the dress and above-knee boots, each in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique bodies, plus a HUD with 10 colors for each. I'm really on a teal kick lately, yet the pull of my longtime favorite color purple is always strong too! That cowl neck reminds me so much of my best friend's favorite sweaters in the 90s, which she must have had an entire drawer full of in a rainbow of colors :) Fashion really is cyclical, and some styles seem to either stay a staple or come back to prominence every few years. I'd definitely layer some BOM leggings or pants to cover those thighs if going somewhere extra chilly too, because why not?

It was a quiet weekend to start, then my therapy session became me just dumping all my concerns about the prior group session gone wrong. Last Monday someone new to the group was bringing up sensitive topics (gun violence, self harm, domestic violence) with no warning and scared away two regulars, which left my head spinning. I mentioned that the new person reminded me of my ex, which of course led to questions that helped me understand how I reacted. I might email the moderator of the group (on my therapist/her colleague's advice) to see if guidelines about topics to avoid or warn about can be implemented or clarified, since at the time she said there were no specific rules. My therapist was wonderful about it though, since it clearly brought up more than I'd even realized and we examined that together. This is quite a journey, but I am okay :) I have to chat with the housemate to decide when and where my outing will be this week, and I have lots to do in SL this week as well so I am keeping busy. I hope you're all having a peaceful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
