Maitreya Shoppers Group

Hiya everyone! Tonight we are exploring the Maitreya Shoppers group, visiting some of their participating stores and looking for gifts for this group :) The Maitreya Shoppers group is currently free to join, and I am (obviously) a big fan of this type of multi-designer group for providing information on sales and special events, plus gifts from time to time. It brings together lots of talented creators to share this info, so we are able to stay informed and always get these fun scoops. 

My first look of the evening is our T.B.O.M. Flower Pink Outfit Dress With Boots gift from The Best Of Me. The dress and heels are each designed for Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique bodies. I really like the way the floral design appears on both, really tying them together, and the peeptoe boots that are buttoned all the way up are such a playful style. The dress is extra short with a slightly bared back to add to the flirt factor.

It's time for a bit of 'peekabooty', thanks to the .::PC::. Back Laced Dress "Sayana" - White/Rose treat from PiNK CHERRY. It clearly lives to its name with the revealing rear view, and I love the deep pink and white patches stitched together to create the dress. It comes in sizing for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh bodies.

Spells & Charms can help you get ready for a sexy weekend with their {S&C} Florie Dress (fatpack) gift. This strapless mini has a very unique neckline with scalloped edges to match the hem, and is designed for Alice, Freya, Hourglass, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh bodies. There's also a HUD included, with 6 lovely floral textures for us to select from. 

My final look of the night is our Lara AC Dress KIKI GIFT Orange. This vibrant halter mini has straps that cross both front and back, with a low V waistline that I believe is called Basque. There are sizes for Erika, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Lara X, Legacy, and Reborn mesh bodies included, so I changed into my Lara X body here from the 5.3 original Lara I'd been sporting. They seem to have redesigned their store recently, so if you do not land in front of the gifts you can just use the teleporter to the gifts section :) 

It was a decent day, and I did get to go to my parents' for dinner which was pleasant as usual :) There was some spirited conversation, and no that does not mean we argued, lol. I'm definitely ready for the weekend, and I'm sure most of you are too. I hope you all have a fantastic weekend ahead, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Le'La Group Variety

 Hiya everyone! Tonight instead of picking one multi-designer group and sharing gifts from several different stores, I did the reverse and chose one generous store - Le'La - and am sharing a handful of their gifts for various groups. All of the featured groups are currently free to join, which may make you extra grateful for those additional group slots SL recently implemented :) To be fair, I am excited about those group slots anyway, lol, but I'm also a huge fan of Le'La and their style. Quick reminder that the group gifts are so prolific that they have their own building, so from the fixed landing spot please go out the front door and follow the path of little fairy lights on the floor...it is towards the right. I will be doing my usual one group/several stores and gifts to visit soon too :)

My first look of the evening is the {Le'La} Avannny Set Gift, which is for the Inventory Trends group. It is such a fun outfit, comprised of the top, sleeves, and ruffled skirt that are all provided in sizing for Freya, Kupra, Kups, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn mesh bodies. Since the sleeves are separate, you can wear just the top and skirt without them if you prefer. I love the color, and the shiny texture! 

You know when you see this type of pose, I'm trying to cover my nipples ;) The {Le'La} Kajsa Body Gift for the SLFO group is a lacy bodysuit with great seams and boning, and comes in Erika, Freya, Hourglass, Kupra (Bimbo, Low, Original), Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Flat, Petite, and Reborn mesh body sizes. The beautiful blue shade reminds me of a clear sky, truly lovely.

Next I slipped into the beautiful {Le'La} Grace Dress Gift which can be yours for free with the Suna Designs group tag. If you are a fan of lace like I am, I think you'll really appreciate the layered embroidered look here :) There are sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh bodies, along with a HUD that has 4 color options on it. Three are fairly neutral shades of beige or off-white, with the other being the charming pale lavender you see on the right. 

The Paparazzi group gift is this playful {Le'La} Gertrudes Top & Jacket Gift. Our cardigan and tank top each come in Erika, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Kups, Legacy, Nerido, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Reborn, and Juicy mesh body sizing. The cardigan is slipped down our right shoulder just a bit, such a sassy little touch :) We can pair this set with just about any bottoms that tickle our fancy, from pants to jeans to skirts of any length or style...I went with the white pair of Delizio jeans whose fatpack gift you can find on the marketplace, just to highlight the solid white top layered beneath the black and white print jacket. 

For my final look of the evening, please join the Maitreya Shoppers group or activate the tag if you're already a member, so you can click and claim {Le'La} Daisy Outfit :) The geometric lace at the waist and hem certainly caught my attention, with shiny fabric on both dress and boots. These pieces are each provided in sizing for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies, as well as a HUD that offers 6 color options for each. There is something so sexy about stiletto heels that lace all the way up to mid-thigh on the sides, don't ya think? Mixing and matching is always a pleasure too.

My day was a bit frustrating, since the downed power line is still draped across the driveway so we are still trapped in the house. I should have been doing outings this week in the car, but we're at the mercy of the power company who came out Monday and installed a temp transformer but left wires and a broken pole 😒. Time to come back and finish the job, people! The mail can't be delivered because of the tree in the circle, so we are wondering when the township can and will step in and make cleanup happen. You can tell I'll have lots to talk about in therapy tomorrow, lol, but I need to focus on how my anxiety has responded to legit stress. I'd say the immediate response was rough, but now it is leveling out a little. We talk a lot about the odds of something bad happening being very minimal, and yet this hunk of dead tree beat the odds and beat up my house. I am shaking my head and wryly chuckling because it is better than crying or hollering. Xan has been very good about helping me keep my head up, we take our roles as each other's emotional support humans very seriously :) I hope you're all having a decent day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Gifts for Maitreya Shoppers

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I have some group gifts to share for the Maitreya Shoppers group, which is currently free to join. There are lots of participating designers who have gifts for this group (and often a few other groups) in their main stores, and it's always worth checking them out to see what's new. The group notices will keep you up to date on sales and new releases, and I enjoy having multiple stores represented all in one group like this :) Just because the brand Maitreya is in the group name does not mean that the gifts will only fit Maitreya, so please check the captions to see which bodies each gift is designed for.

My first look comes from #SHOOSH, a playful bodysuit called Hayley Lingerie. There are sizes for Belleza Curvy, Erika, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh bodies, as well as a HUD with 10 color options. Aren't the straps fun? I love the way they cross in the front from top to panties, and the lower ones are very eye-catching too.

Our .::BE BOLD::. Dress Group Gift #16 is a flirty strapless minidress with extra short ruffled hem and a peekaboo opening in the bodice. We receive sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies, plus a HUD with 8 texture choices. Two of them have images like you see on the left above, with the rest being wonderful solid color options.

Next I changed into the lovely MARIE DRESS by BA Store GIFT which is found at the Black Angel Store. The style definitely captivated me, thanks to those ruffles, bare shoulders, and dramatic high-low hem. The gift contains Freya, Isis, Hourglass, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite mesh body sizing, and that vivid blue color is fantastic!

~CAROLA~ is the new name of *caramela de fresa*, and upstairs in their gift area you'll find lots of treats like the camile 2 dress for Maitreya Shoppers. This satiny slip dress has an intricate lace inset that reminds me of a mandala, and subtle slits on each side of the brief hem. Claim this treat and you'll receive Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP mesh body sizes, and a HUD with 12 colors to pick from. 

For my final look of the evening, I am feeling gorgeous in the Lara AC Dress MIONNA GIFT BLUE for our group. When you arrive at the store, head to the front door and click the "group gifts" on the teleport sign to reach the area that is loaded with goodies for dozens of gifts :) This charming halter dress has bold stripes and high slits on each side of the skirt, tied with pretty bows with long tails that match the one at the nape of the neck. There are sizes for Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, and Reborn mesh bodies included.

It was a decent day, quiet and I got better rest so I am feeling relatively positive about that :) I hope you're all having a beautiful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Maitreya Shoppers Gifts

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I decided to share some group gifts for the Maitreya Shoppers group, which is a multi-designer group that brings together lots of news about sales and new releases, and of course gifts from many designers for the group :) It is free to join, so all of these treats I'm sharing tonight are completely free for all of us. I haven't posted gifts from this particular group very often, so it is a pleasure to share these tonight. The random interesting thing is that I am wearing the Legacy body still, and was able to find several gifts that accommodated both bodies and more. I mention that so if you don't wear Maitreya, please don't be fooled by the name into thinking it is only going to be sizes for that body. I don't want anyone to miss out!

My first look is the versatile :: CK Lina :: gift from Patty CK. Their hooded dress comes in sizes for eBody Reborn, Freya, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and Tonic Fine mesh bodies. There's also a HUD included with 14 choices (10 solid, 4 print) each for 4 parts of the dress - hood up, hood down, trim with shoulder insets, and the main dress. We can also click three X's to hide the hood up, hood down, and trim/shoulder insets which I've clicked all three on the right so you can see the vast difference. I think it looks very cute with bare shoulders, and has more of a spring feel without the hoods which neither were particularly compatible with my current hairstyle.

This sassy lingerie set is from Vivacious Inc. (now rebranded Mu-Shi Doll) and is called ::VInc:: Underwear "Schari" GG. Its fabric is wispy and sheer, an ideal choice for the two piece set whose bra gives tank top vibes from the front. It and the thong panty are each provided in Freya, Isis, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Slink Physique, and Signature Alice mesh body sizes. I look like I'm pondering deeply here, but I'm probably just wondering what the neighbors thought if they saw me out on my balcony like this ;)

Our next look is an intriguing one for sure! The K-Style ANGEL DRESS LEGACY MAITREYA gift tells you in the name which bodies it fits, with separate top and skirt each in both body's sizes. The real fun is the color changing script built into both, which makes them rotate through a rainbow of hues automatically upon wearing. The problem you may notice is that I added them one at a time so they started the color shifting separately, lol, and are not in synch so I recommend highlighting both pieces of your size in inventory then right click - add to get your timing sorted. Of course if you prefer them to be different, by all means add them individually and have fun with it :)

Next I eagerly grabbed the {Chaotic} Sondra {Group Gift} 2022, a deep red mini dress with fun white polka dots. The hem is trimmed with red lace, and the front has some SL strap magic happening that always makes me smile because many of these fashions would not work so well in RL (straps would tangle, twist, shift and bare all...) but they look incredible here in SL. There are Freya, Isis, Venus, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh body sizes included. 

My final look of the evening comes from Telsiope's Couture, their cute Anastazja ms romper which is one of several colors available for various groups. It is provided in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh bodies. The strapless style and shorts make this an ideal choice for this time of year, when things are warming up finally in this hemisphere and in many parts of SL.

It was a quiet day and I'm glad for that, since tomorrow will be an outing to an unknown destination. That discussion is actually taking place right now via text, lol, so I'm getting a little baffled and sidetracked here. I hope you're all having a pleasant day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Gifts for Maitreya Shoppers

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we are visiting several participating stores of the Maitreya Shoppers group, which is free to join and a handy source of info on sales and promotions from the designers. There are also free gifts just for being a part of the group and stopping by the stores :) While the name references a single mesh body brand, you will see that not all of the gifts are limited to just that size and can accommodate multiple mesh bodies. I was already wearing the Maitreya body today from last night's post, so it felt like a good choice, and that does still seem to be the most popular supported body at least for free gifts. I always have fun sifting through the group notices of a multi-designer group to see what stores I haven't been to lately, or possibly at all yet.

For my first look of the evening, I decided to shine in the T&C ::: Can You Feel It ::: gift! This gilded mini dress has lots of slender cutouts on the sleeves and hips, with a zipper all the way down the front that is slightly lowered for plenty of cleavage. We receive sizes for Altamura, eBody Classic, eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies. 

I also visited Tastic where I picked up their flirty Cara Dress Group Gift. It is one of several treats for various groups on this wall, as with most of the participating stores, so I do suggest checking for other groups you're in :) Cara here is a revealing halter dress in a deep indigo snakeskin pattern, with black trim and bold openings. The gift contains Freya, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn mesh body sizing, and will look sensational on all of them.

Delicatt Couture is offering this playful Hariellyh Dress Blue Dark as their July 2023 group gift for Maitreya Shoppers, so you should probably hurry before they swap it out for a new month's worth of goodies :) There are sizes for eBody Classic, eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique bodies, along with a standard fitted for classic avatars. The corset bodice has sheer lace sides, and the bows and ruffles add fun feminine touches.

We have plenty of places in SL to visit that are cooler climates, so the DM Design ~ Arancia Outfit Gift might be just what you need for year round casual wear. The top and jeans both fit Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique bodies, with matching trainers for Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink flat feet. There is something so charming about distressed jeans that have been well worn and loved, and the one bare shoulder exposed by the top is a flirty bonus. 

I'm wrapping up the evening in another laid-back look that can be ours for free with the Maitreya Shoppers group tag. It's the MONOMANIA - Striker gift, a hooded shorts jumpsuit in black with a red cropped tank top built in to peek through the unzipped front. It fits Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies, and our intriguing sneakers are for Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink flat feet. The hot pink on the back of the sneakers is an eye-catching detail, and the red tags match the top very nicely. This is the type of casual outfit I love for running around the grid finding hunt prizes, checking lucky boards, slapping midnight manias...or just exploring someplace with Xan on any random evening. It looks cozy, doesn't it?

I have several things to do as soon as I finish this blog post, so I'm trying to remember all of them while I wrap things up :) Mostly simple household type things, nothing very interesting but just day to day adulting. I hope you're all having a beautiful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
