Tres Chic Gifts

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we are diving into the gifts from Tres Chic, who are celebrating their 10th anniversary this round. Their group is free to join, and the VIP tag lets you claim many generous gifts at various displays. Rounds at Tres Chic are just 2 weeks long and this one opened on the 16th, so we have until the 30th to complete our shopping and enjoy finding the treats :)

I started out with the .little fox. - Zella corset top // lila (plain pack) gift. This flirty bustier is a sweet summery lilac hue, and has lace trim and a bow at the base of each strap. There are sizes for Belleza Classic, Legacy, Perky, Lara X, Reborn, Waifu, and Waifu Rolls mesh bodies, along with a HUD that offers 35 colors apiece for the lace and bows. My adorable skirt is our #SHYDOLLS // Expresso Skirt group gift, black with silvery stripes and an attached beaded belt in Lara X, Legacy, and Reborn mesh body sizing. The enclosed HUD has 13 choices for the pearls of the belt, some solid colors and some are a mixture of hues as you can see on the right above :) I do love the versatility of both!

CALITHEA has a captivating gift for us called Kosara Set . Barbie. Its vibrant pink color sure does suit the name, and there are 2 versions for each piece so you can choose with or without eyelet lace openings. Both top and skirt are provided in Lara X, Legacy, Reborn, and Waifu sizes. Both the eye-catching cross on the waistband and the clever cinching detail at the back of the top contribute to the outfit's distinctive appeal.

If you want to combine a couple of the group gifts to create a cozy yet flirty lounging outfit, I suggest starting with our Carol's Store- Naomi Top Beige treat. It took me right back to the 70s and several fashion cycles since then (like now!) when these beautifully knit halter tops have been all the rage, for obviously good reasons :) There are sizes for Erika, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Khara, Kupra, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Maitreya, Lara X, Petite X, Momma, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. You can pair it with just about anything, like this flirtatious Aurun - Teresa Panties (Marshmallow) treat that I am wearing here. They are cut somewhere between bikini and thong, and come in Legacy, Maitreya, Reborn, and Juicy Rolls sizes. Floral lace is always going to make me smile, and the neutral color is an easy choice for the similarly neutral beige top. Either of these can be worn with your boldest colors, wildest prints, or anything your imagination leads you to.

Next I'm enjoying our Kaithleen's Zora Romper - Copper gift, which has wonderful retro aesthetic and is versatile due to the HUD included. That HUD offers 24 colors each for our upper trim, tie, and hem cuffs, as well as 4 metals for the zipper in the rear. The romper will fit Belleza Classic, Belleza Curvy, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Reborn, Juicy Boobs, Waifu, and Waifu Rolls mesh bodies and mods. 

My final look of the evening is our daringly delightful N-Uno - Afira Dress // N 3 gift. I'd call it a wrap dress but I think that would be an understatement, lol, based on the way the satin with lace hem is wound around the body to just cover the bare essentials :) There are sizes for Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies included for this deep bronze colored gift.

It was a fairly quiet day, other than listening to the rain outside that is. It's supposed to be a wet and dreary day tomorrow too, not clearing up until Friday morning, so the clouds and rain brought chilly weather back. I was surprised my feet were cold for the first time in ages, LOL, so I had to dig out the slipper socks again I hope you're all having a terrific day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

More FaMESHed Gifts

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we have several more gifts from the FaMESHed event's 11th anniversary celebration, which are all available to their free update group members. There is a special area just for gifts, a separate region alongside the main one, so don't forget to explore the main shopping area with lots of sales offers from talented original mesh designers. I am always impressed with people's creativity, and the generosity shown when a beloved event like this reaches a milestone like this :) 

My first look of the evening is a playful bodysuit from Have Unequal called [HU] Giovana Body_Aqua Lip. This gift fits eBody Reborn, Legacy, Maitreya, and Petite mesh bodies, with halter neck and a lace layer. The included HUD has black and white lace color options, hide/show and transparency for the lace, hide/show and transparency for the main material, and 21 colors for the edges. Lots of versatility, and I suggest just trying out all the buttons and seeing what kind of look suits your mood :)

You may remember this top from yesterday, the Diversion - Mindy Top - Gift which fits eBody Reborn, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite mesh bodies. Tonight I paired it with the Danni leggings//black/crimson gift from .little fox. The deep red picks up the flowers from the top nicely, and the leggings' style gives an edgy contrast to the top too :) There are sizes for eBody Reborn, Kupra, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh bodies included.

Next I slipped into the tantalizing [Glitzz] Cibelle Dress - Gift Black. This dress crosses into lingerie territory with the bows, garter straps, and shapely boning. We receive Freya, Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn mesh body sizes of this flirty frock.

7wishes is offering their remarkable <7w> Larkin Pantsuit - Powder Blue Plaid as the FaMESHed anniversary gift. Its halter top and ruffle-hemmed leggings are linked into one piece by an intricate network of leather straps, and the pale blue plaid looks so pretty with creamy yellow and slender pink stripes. There are Legacy, Legacy Push Up, Maitreya, Petite, Reborn, and Reborn Juicy Boobs/Rolls sizes provided, as well as a HUD with 14 textures for the ruffles, 10 colors for the leathers, and 5 metals. We can definitely have lots of fun playing with this HUD!

My final look this evening features the *PRIMA* GIFT Coachella vibes necklace. It has an unrigged version (shown) and a Prima body rigged size, plus a HUD to choose from 24 colors for the string and 24 for the beads, and a shuffle (pair of dice) button that gives you a random mix of colors on the 7 beads. If you pick one of the 24 it tints all of them at once, so I did the shuffling here to maximize the colors you get to see :) This can be adjusted to coordinate with so many different outfits, and the beads provide a small but potent pop of color. 

It was a long day since my sleep was very interrupted so I needed a couple naps, but I am doing okay and looking forward to the farmers market tomorrow and then what should be a quiet remainder of the weekend. I hope you all have a beautiful weekend ahead, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Still Getting Cozy

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I have one more group of CozyFest '22 gifts to share, all of which can be claimed for free with the Fifty Linden Fridays group tag. The FLF group is free to join, and the event is loaded with $50L offers as well as gifts in tan giftboxes decorated with purple ribbons and bows. I absolutely enjoyed my visit, and plan on going back for some shopping before the 4th of February when the event comes to an end. There will still be plenty of Fridays to find bargains though of course :) 

My first look features the Little Fox gift called Madison crop sweater // babyblue. It comes in sizes for eBody Reborn, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite mesh bodies, with a HUD that offers 25 colors for our buttons. The deep neckline would frame your favorite necklace beautifully, and between the cleavage and the bared midriff this is a cozy way to keep your arms warm while flashing some skin.

Our gift from Nylon Outfitters is their (NO) Thriving T shirt, a clever tee with a sketch of a woman hanging out in foliage with the caption "Unbothered, moisturized, happy, in my lane, focused, flourishing". That sure does sound like thriving to me! Right now I can only claim one of those, so I will just call those #goals ;) This gift consists of Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP mesh body sizing. 

A great accompaniment to a warm sweater is a hot beverage :) This top is the Midoa - Coven MerryBlack Sweater, a fun gift in sizes for eBody, Freya, Kupra, Legacy, and Maitreya bodies. It has a wintry skull design on the front, with what looks like sparkly paint splatters all about. The #LuluB! - Kitty Mug <3 is an adorable pink mug, round with a sweet face and filled to the brim with cappuccino decorated with some ♥ foam art. The hold pose is built in, just right click and 'add' to your outfit for a comforting drink. As I did yesterday, I paired all of tonight's tops with the white Delizio jeans you can find in their free Marketplace fatpack. 

Next I changed into the Fake Society x Miranda Dress / Pink, a dreamy strapless dress in Freya, Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh body sizes. There is also a button hide HUD included so you can decide if you want those buttons on or off :) I really like the fur trim, which lends itself to the cozy theme quite well. 

For my final look of the evening I turned off the buttons of my dress and decided to play with some precious pups. They are the RIOT gift called Brody Sock Plush, and there is a notecard to explain that Brody is often their store's employee of the month. I had actually been to their store very recently and did notice his RL photos, along with another furry employee (most reported to HR if I recall) so I do suggest stopping by to see the wall of photos. Brody here comes in several dog colors (Black, Brody, Chocolate, Yellow) each with various colors of sock (black, blue, gold, pink, red, tan, white) on his head. On the left above is Brody/White, with Yellow/Blue on the right, so I would say these are common labrador colors and plenty of cozy fun. They all have a hold pose built in, to help us snuggle any variety of Brody we wish. 

It was a blah day here, thanks to yet another frustrating hockey game and a disappointing situation with family. My cousin asked for a favor that my housemate insists we cannot safely do, watching their birds (2 budgies and a cockatiel, none of whom I've ever seen in person) for a week in April. I feel terrible like I'm letting my cousin and his wife down, and it seems like he asked my parents first but they couldn't because of their two birds. He knows I love birds dearly and it would be so nice to have something to look forward to, but if the house is not bird-safe it wouldn't be wise. I really miss feathered companionship, as you can tell, and really dislike having to say no to family members when they need me. Oh well, I hope you're all enjoying your day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Group Gifts Galore

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I am excited to share some more group gifts for the FaMESHed 9th anniversary round. As I mentioned in my previous post, the group is free to join and most of the participating designers are offering a gift in a white box wrapped with a teal ribbon and bow. There is an impressive variety among the gifts, while I am focusing on the female fashions and a touch of accessories you can also find goodies for the guys and home decor. I also have a limited time offer for you from Entice, also a free group gift for Cinco de Mayo. This trio of t-shirts is fantastic for this time of year, so hurry on over!

My first look starts with the Valentina E. Martina Dress Dove gift, which is designed to fit the Maitreya mesh body. It is a column style with flattering seams, and the pale grey color has a silvery quality. I added a necklace from the ..::Supernatural::.. gift called Betina Necklace Fatpack, consisting of 4 metal combinations (silver/silver, silver/gold, gold/silver, gold/gold) and two gem HUDs with 34 lovely choices each. I gave a closer view on the right of the round cut gem that dangles from the chain attached to our heart closure, so pretty!

Purple is one of my favorite colors, so it was fun to pair two different shades in creating this look. The top is our gift from Ramen called ::RMN:: Harona Mini Top Purple -Lara- . It fits the Maitreya Lara mesh body and the style wraps to accentuate the cleavage just right. My pants are the Little Fox - Cassie - Knitted pants // plum gift, which look like an amazingly cozy pair of low rise leggings. They come in sizes for Freya, Kupra, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh bodies. 

Next I changed into the Charlotte Pink & Blue gift from Luas. The pink dress and blue belt (with straps that look like suspenders lowered to hang freely) are each provided in Freya, Hourglass, Legacy, Legacy Perky, Maitreya, and Maitreya Petite sizing. Since they are separate pieces, you can easily wear the dress without the belt if you prefer. I really like the way the skirt is gathered, and the peekaboo slit in the upper chest area for a flash of cleavage.

If you are still in the mood for pink, but had something even more flirtatious in mind, I suggest claiming the (*<*) 1313 Elena Set - Special Edition Gift from 1313 Mockingbird Lane. It consists of the sweater, skirt, and thong each in Legacy, Maitreya, and Maitreya Petite sizing, with a fun HUD to change things up. There are 6 choices for the strap across the chest (labeled boobs) which are 3 solid and 3 lace, then 3 colors each for the thong waist, skirt bows, and skirt hearts. I am wearing the thong without the skirt on the right so you can get an idea of the versatility of this sexy gift.

Happy Cinco de Mayo! Over at Entice, we simply need their free group's tag to claim a three pack of seasonal cropped shirts. Their Cinco de Mayo 2021 - Tshirt is available until the 14th and includes the red and white versions above plus a black version (says Fiesta on the front) each sized for Freya, Hourglass, and Maitreya bodies. As a bird lover I am drawn to the sombrero wearing cutie on the white tee, and I am curious which ones I will see out and about on the grid :) Show me your favorite! The jeans are a free gift on the marketplace from Delizio that appear here on my blog fairly regularly, with several colors in system/BOM layers plus appliers for Maitreya and Omega. 

It was a decent day here, and the small birthday dinner earlier was very nice. The weather was warm and humid, so my naturally wavy hair is all sorts of freaky and frizzy, LOL, reminding me that I really need to find a hair product that works without costing an obscene amount. My stylist once recommended something that was over $50 for about 2 ounces, yikes! She normally doesn't push their products but I asked for a suggestion, which I rather regretted. Oh well, I hope you're all having a beautiful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Vanity Anniversary

Hiya everyone! Tonight there are a few more group gifts I would like to show you from the VANITY event's first anniversary round. Their group is free to join, and this round is open until the 25th of July (a special family birthday for me) so you have time to visit and enjoy. Almost every participating designer is offering a group gift for the celebration, so there are dozens and dozens of treats for you to claim.

This vibrant outfit is the Paris Vanity Gift from Rosary, with a bra, sheer jacket, and matching pants each in Freya, Hourglass, and Maitreya sizes. The pattern is very tropical, and the colors made me smile. Another gift that makes me smile is the -:zk:- Sensual Romance Necklace, a choker style with pretty bow. It includes a HUD that offers 22 color choices, so you can change it to match any outfit.

The necklace from -:zk:- looks adorable with this gift too, the B BOS - Maddi Bikini - Pink Flower. It is provided in a Maitreya size, in a very revealing style that covers a bare minimum with tiny triangles of floral fabric. The bows on each hip are similar to the necklace, so that too makes it a natural pairing.

We have one more glimpse of the necklace here, with the gift from AVALE called Amy Shirt - White. It is included in Freya, Hourglass, Maitreya, and TMP sizes, and the deep neckline really flatters the cleavage. I am wearing it with a favorite marketplace gift, jeans from Delizio that come in several colors as system layers plus Maitreya and Omega appliers.

The gift from [Glitzz] is their Glenda Bikini in Lilac, a slender tube top and string bikini bottom with beaded laces. Each piece comes in sizes for Freya, Hourglass, Maitreya, and Legacy for classic avatars. There is also a HUD provided with 3 metals for the clasp at the hips. I have to wonder what my avi was up to on her new Little Fox Kitty Phone, maybe sending Xan a selfie or browsing twitter...you can claim this cute pink phone at Vanity just like I did, and it has a built in holding animation as you can see.

My final look of the evening is a closer view of the eyeshadows I have been enjoying tonight, the gift from RichB which is their Eyeshadow #04 HUD for Genus. It has 6 different color combinations, all of which are so lovely and will flatter any eye color.

Hair note of the night: Truth Hair's VIP group has a new gift in their group notices, so if you are a member ($350L to join) be sure to grab this terrific gift! It has their new texture HUDs that also have a Stylist tab on each, so you can wear each side behind or in front of the shoulder. The bangs and waves remind me of my RL hair, other than mine being a bit curlier and maybe a little longer. The gift includes the full fatpack of color HUDs, so whatever your preferred hue may be, they have you covered. 

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