Lee Sorin Goodies

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I've got some wonderful group gifts and a Midnight Mania prize available at Lee Sorin, whose group is currently free to join. There are 4 gifts and a free gift card for the group members available at the moment, with a pair of Midnight Mania boards just waiting to be clicked :) There are so many talented and generous designers located in this shopping center, so it was a pleasure as always to explore the area and see what new offers I could find. 

For my first look, I'm sharing the charming Lee Sorin Estela dress, which is one of the two midnight mania gifts currently on those boards. It gave me strong Disney princess vibes with those puffy detached sleeves, which are in fact a separate attachment so we can wear the dress with or without them. The dress and sleeves each come in Freya, Isis, Kupra Bimbo, Low, Original, Legacy, Maitreya, Petite, Hourglass, and Physique mesh body sizes. It also includes a HUD with 24 colors for each, for mixing and matching potential.

This playfully styled dress is the Johana group gift. It fits Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn mesh bodies, and comes with a 20 color HUD to change the look whenever we choose. The shredded openings are such a fun touch, and I am a fan of unique strap details like this.

Next I changed into another group gift named Isis, and she can be worn as a swimsuit or a daring shorts outfit. There are sizes for Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh bodies included, as well as a handy 25 color HUD. I'm not sure which detail caught my eye first, the fun opening in the front or the great straps in the back, maybe even the slits on both sides of the high cut shorts, but they are all winners!

Our Alice gift is a treat that shows why floral patterns make any clothing a truly classic addition to any wardrobe :) The dress is provided in eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizing, with a 10 color HUD for variety. How fun is that slightly diagonal ruffled hemline? Let's not forget the single shoulder which is tied up top and contrasted by a dainty pouf of a sleeve on the other side, abundant features to catch the eye.

For my final look this evening, I'm enjoying the Lee Sorin Claudia group gift outfit. The long sleeved crop top and pants with openings at both hips are tied with matching loose bows, and these separates each come in sizes for Freya, Isis, Hourglass, Kupra Bimbo, Low, Original, Legacy, Maitreya, Flat, Petite, and Reborn mesh bodies. There's also a HUD (surprise!) with an impressive 28 color choices for each. If you run into me this morning hopping around the grid, you will see me still wearing this beauty, but in what color? I haven't quite decided yet.

It turned out to be a challenging day for my anxiety, as the rain let up and I tried going out to the local park. My anxiety decided that was a bad idea I guess, and it was worse getting home than to the park itself so I am feeling nervous about my therapy session on Thursday. I'm supposed to be going to the office of one of the many appointments I'd canceled because of the agoraphobia, but now the fear is spiraling so I don't know. At least the weather took a break from all the rain for a bit :) Meanwhile I hope you're all having a peaceful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Gifts From Avatar Fair

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I'm inviting you back to the Avatar Fair event, a relatively new event that opened a new round on Thursday. I am not clear on the dates so I'm going to suggest that you go promptly if you like what you see :) There is a free Avatar Fair group we can join, that lets us claim tons of goodies at just about every booth as well as the central area where my landmark should place you. They have gift cards on the wall too, so you can even select your own reward for visiting. Most of the participating stores are right there on the same sim/region (Linden Lab preferred terminology is region, I spent well over a decade calling them a sim, so sometimes I slip up) with names you may already recognize like Ewa Boutique and Sugar Dolls. I blogged some gifts from the prior round a few weeks back, and many of the gifts are the same but I was careful to make sure I am showing you gifts that I didn't last time :) Some of the brands seem to be connected, and there were gifts from one brand at another's display, so it is nice to see designers working together so well.

My first look of the evening is from Mademoiselle, called *BM* SET 102. The top, leggings, and belt are each provided in Freya, Isis, Hourglass, Legacy, and Maitreya sizing, with two useful HUDs. The top's HUD has 11 colors, and the pants HUD has 21 choices for the pants, 22 for the belt, and 6 metals for the buckle. That's an impressive variety! I am a big fan of the detached sleeve look, and these have such pretty lace flaring out from just below the elbow. 

Going somewhere outdoors on a late summer day? I'd love to suggest the {CH} MONDE outfit, a gift from the Charlotte store :) It includes those sunglasses I'm wearing here, as well as the top, skirt, and shoes which will each fit Freya, Isis, Hourglass, Legacy, Maitreya, and Petite bodies. There's even a BOM layer pair of black panties, so if you bend over or someone gets a little camera happy, you're covered ;) We do have a HUD too, with 24 textures for the top and 11 colors for our skirt. The shoes stay that terrific cherry red, and I enjoy that pop of bright color for our feet.

Next I am smirking at the thoughts of what a naughty weekend this gift could lead to...it is the 69 sSixty 9--Perola Set, a brand that is new to me so I'm excited to get to know them. The gift includes a top, skirt, and panty that each come in sizing for eBody Reborn, Mounds, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite mesh bodies, along with (you guessed it!) a HUD that has 10 colors for each piece. Let the mixing and matching begin!

The [SweetP] GIFT Avatar 1 treat from Sweet Problem is such a captivating lingerie set, both flirty and feminine. It is worn as one piece with the appearance of two, corset and panty, and it comes in Erika, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh body sizes. The bright pink really caught my eye, but I can say the same for the intricate lace and the scalloped ruffles on the panties. 

Finishing this evening, we have a great dress for autumn that looks like a sweater tucked gently into a snug miniskirt. It's our LS - CLOVER gift from Lee Sorin, and will beautifully fit Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh bodies. The provided HUD offers 15 textures, some of which have those great polka dots you see on the left above while others show off the contrast between the knit top and the smooth skirt. Now that September is here, this cozy style is about to come in very handy :)

My day was busy but decent, despite a very strange dream involving time travel, and no I didn't eat something weird before bed ;) I visited my parents for dinner, but didn't actually eat until I got home so it was a late meal for me but still enjoyable. Heavy topics at the dinner table tonight from local news, then a trip down memory lane had my mom pulling out her high school yearbooks from the 60s. Her school closed in the early 80s and several of the teachers wound up at the high school I eventually went to, so we had a few in common which is wild considering we graduated 22 years apart. My annoying long weekend begins around noon, as the housemate's jerk houseguest arrives then, and I'm going to spend as much time as possible hiding. Their plans involve sports, beer, junk food, and noise, LOL, so I'm not missing much. I hope you all have a terrific weekend ahead, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
