Sweet Swank Treats

 Hiya everyone! Tonight feels like a good time to check out more SWANK Event group gifts from their 11th anniversary round as we ease into the new week. The gifts can be found by clicking the clear globes with gold Swank logo and number 11 at many of the displays on both floors of this massive event :) Just be sure to have their free group tag active, and you too will feel like you've been showered with several holidays' worth of treats. Since some brands have more than one setup at the event, they might put a gift at only one of them, or put out multiple gifts so you'll see some brand names more than once while you unpack it all. Enjoy the treasure trove!

My first look of the evening is our [C.YFashion]*MEL*DRESS GIFT GROUP, a short mini dress that is not short on sex appeal ;) There are sizes for Freya, Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn mesh bodies, along with a HUD that lets us pick from 6 colors for the main fabric. The wide netting stays neutral black, which looks amazing with any hue you pick :)

I'm feeling groovy in our [If design] Perla gift here, because it's hard not to feel that way when sporting tie dye. The daring dress and tied panties are provided in sizing for Legacy, Legacy Boobs, Perky, Maitreya, Reborn, and Juicy mesh bodies. The enclosed HUD offers a whopping 56 textures for each piece, plus the ability to tint the chosen texture so the possibilities are virtually endless. There are plenty of solid colors too, so if the patterns here aren't your thing, you certainly have other choices that should appeal to you.

The Dark Angel : Kara Set Blue gift can be worn two ways, and looks fantastic either way. It consists of a cardigan and strapless dress, in Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite, Reborn, and Waifu mesh body sizes. I love the way the paler blue strings tying our cardigan closed match the one beneath the bust perfectly, so we are very nicely coordinated in this outfit. I find it very timely for the upcoming cooler weather too, having the option to add the warmth of the cardigan.

Next I slipped into our flirty KiraStyle // TOP & SKIRT 12 gift, whose top and skirt are each designed for Freya, Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Reborn, and Juicy mesh bodies. The HUD lets us choose from 40 textures each for top and skirt, then 20 colors apiece for the edges/bows of each piece. The bared midriff seemed like a perfect excuse to share another gift, the Malandra - Connie BAD GIRL - BODY TATTOO. It is provided as a BOM layer, and I had to giggle because the crown at the end of the text made me wonder if we are now officially the queen of bad girls for wearing it? I'm usually a good girl type, but SL tends to bring out a different side in me sometimes so I'll wear this crown.

For my final look, I am wearing the versatile Nala Design - Alex Top paired with their Alex Skirt. These are separate gifts, so let's start with (from) the top. It fits Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Peach, Prima Busty, Reborn, Waifu, and Star mesh bodies, and includes a HUD with 8 solid colors and 9 sheer ones. The sheer is that lacy wisp on the right above, and you can guess why I had to make that the rear view ;) Our skirt comes in a similar set of sizes (not quite identical though) of Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, Peach, Reborn, and Star bodies, plus a HUD with 12 color options. The pleats add visual interest, and the brief hemline is as flirty as the crossed top.

It was a decent day, with a productive support group session (from the anxiety center my therapist works for) and getting things planned for the upcoming week. My outing tomorrow is going to be picking up dinner at a 50s themed place about 20-25 minutes away, to keep me expanding the limits of how far I'm comfortable going. I haven't decided yet what I'm getting, but everything there is delicious :) I hope you're all having a lovely day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Swank Gifts

 Hiya everyone! Tonight it's time to visit the Winter Wonderland of Gifts at the SWANK event, where their free group tag will let you click dozens upon dozens of pretty giftboxes and claim a bounty of gifts. These gift rounds always make me so happy, and I usually wind up with a separate folder of demos to help me return and do some shopping :) There are some gifts for the guys also, which makes it worth visiting for all of us.

My first look this evening is the #SHOOSH Holly Xmas Outfit [FATPACK]. This gift includes the strapless dress and cape each in Erika, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh body sizes. There is also a HUD which offers 10 colors each for the dress with and without sparkles, fur, cape with and without sparkles, strings, bow, and fur with or without the sparkles. I went with traditional Christmas hues on the left and randomly picked a pretty purple for the right, trimmed in white fur.

Another gift I couldn't wait to show off is our [C.YFashion] CHRISTMAS Gift jumpsuit. It has 3 versions (green, red, and white) each packed separately with jumpsuit and fur (sleeves) in sizes for Kalhene, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Reborn bodies. The cute Santa hat is provided with each color as well, and it is adjustable. This is a fun choice for anyone who celebrates the holidays in SL in a warm climate, like one of the first homes Xan and I rented was a tropical beach house.

Next we see a little more fur trim, this time on the GAS {Christmas Set Myra - blue - SWANK] lingerie gift. This whole outfit is actually linked to wear as one piece, from the collar down to the garters, in sizing for Erika, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. The sheen certainly caught my eye, and the heart shaped opening over the cleavage, and the black bows really pop against the lighter colors.

Speaking of shine, how about this dazzling Malandra - Fancy Dress Latex Silver gift? :) It almost reminded me of foil at first glance, but that is a latex type reflectivity that is simply stunning. Our strapless dress has daring slits on each side of the skirt, and hugs our curves beautifully. The gift includes eBody Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, and Maitreya sizes.

My final look of the night is the Dark Angel : Morgan Set Red gift. There are three dresses (red, white, and black trims) and the jacket which is more of a small shrug, all in sizes for Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. As the unpacker HUD allows us to click the brand we need, you'll only be delivering yourself the size/s you need and can hang onto the HUD for future reference :) The dress looks great in all three versions, with or without the jacket, thanks to the diagonal hem and sexy side slit. 

I had an outing today so it was a hectic one, par for the course whenever I leave the house :P  We did a mobile drive-thru order at a newly opened branch of a famous fast food place (not saying the name to avoid advertising for them or coming up in a search somehow) and because they have all new employees there, they were struggling. It was like 3PM so not exactly lunch or dinner rush, and I'd hoped that would make it quicker but that is not my luck, LOL. So the waiting got my anxiety all revved up, just stuck in a line that wasn't moving behind a cop car whose driver seemed frustrated too. The fries were ice cold, which was just as gross as it sounds, but I don't expect gourmet food from a drive-thru anyway :) Edible yes, but top notch is pushing it. Otherwise a decent day, and I'm still trying to come up with a game plan that'll allow me to share some Advent gifts some morning. I hope you're all having a lovely day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Gift Me One More Time

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I have even more SWANK Event gifts to share from their 8th anniversary round. We have just over a week remaining to visit and click all the glass globes with golden logo inside that we can find, with their free group tag active. There are so many treats waiting, I'm guessing it must be over 100, as well as the usual special sales offers that abound here each round. I have certainly had a wonderful time sharing many gifts with you, as usual thanks to the many generous designers who are a part of the Swank family.

First we have the lovely .:FlowerDreams:. Zoe Dress which is one of 2 gifts I found there from this talented designer :) Inside we have sizes for Altamura, eBody Classic, eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Hourglass, Maitreya, Petite, Signature, Tonic Curvy, Tonic Fine, and Tonic Minim mesh bodies, along with a 12 texture HUD. There are several solid hues on there, and a few fun patterns like the sequined one I chose on the left that gives me mermaid scale vibes.

If you need something casual and extra cute, I'd love to suggest the #SHOOSH - Rae Outfit [PATTERN FATPACK] gift! It is worn as one piece, in Belleza Classic, Belleza Curvy, Erika, Khara, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh body sizing. There are two HUDs included too - the top HUD has 10 textures for the shirt, 40 bow options, and 40 buttons options (mixes of solid and prints) while the shorts HUD offers 30 terrific colors that all have the fun kawaii face on the front. The style is very playful, with cat ears on the waist and ruffles on the shorts legs, with simple suspenders to hold things just so.

Our Malandra - Happy Life- #1 gift has a flattering style with extra flirtatious detail :) The mini dress whose spaghetti straps cross in the back will fit eBody Reborn, Juicy Boobs, Erika, Kupra Squeezed, Legacy, Perky, and Maitreya mesh bodies. It also includes a transparency HUD with 3 settings in addition to solid, so I am wearing it fully solid on the left and the third (most sheer) transparency setting on the right. The pattern caught my attention and my curiosity because I can't quite tell what I'm seeing there...cats? bears? tails? unicorn horns? Whatever it may be, I can confidently declare it adorable! :D

Next I changed into the TO.KISKI gift called Madison Sexy Mini Dress, Gold. This beauty has a halter neck and lots of flirty cutouts to go with the extra short hemline, living up to the 'sexy' in its name spectacularly :) We receive sizes for Erika, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Freya, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn mesh bodies. the delicate pattern almost made me think of stained glass, although lace overlay seems more likely. My imagination is working overtime tonight, I swear I didn't consume anything mind-altering!

My final look of the evening is our gift from VEGA DESIGN, their stunning Nina Dress. I love high-low hemlines like this, especially on a flowing slip dress so it makes walking look extra dreamy. There are Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh body sizes included, as well as an 8 color HUD to change up the look as much as we desire. Don't make me pick just one favorite, I can't do it when they all look so pretty! ♥

My next few days will be rather busy, but I am sticking to my usual blogging schedule (taking off Saturday evening as my weekend break) so I am already coming up with ideas for the next couple posts to make things easier each evening. I have virtual appointments tomorrow and Friday, with notes of what to discuss for each, like two of my medications (one I take regularly, the other I haven't yet as more of an emergency situation) having a potential interaction of irregular heart rhythm but the pharmacy didn't tell me this until the 5th time filling the second one prescribed. Thanks? This is the same pharmacy that lost all record of filling a prescription for me, despite my having the bottle with their info printed right on the label, so I'm losing confidence in them. Local supermarket with pharmacy, not a big chain like CVS or Rite Aid, but I have both of those in my area too if I need to switch. The one I currently use has better prices usually though, so it will be a bummer if they don't shape up. Otherwise it was a productive day, and I hope you're all having a pleasant day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
