New Releases at Yasum

 Hiya everyone! Tonight's post is an invitation to the new releases section at Yasum Design, where the fantastic designer offers one color of each for just $1L. We can find which one by looking for a purple balloon animal above it, and the displays to check have a heart shaped balloon floating above them. Now that you've got the details on how to track the dollarbies down, I'm excited to show you some of the current discounted offers :) I'm a huge fan of this brand and really admire their original creations, very stylish and easy to wear. Casual but classy, flirty but elegant, I feel like you can find something to suit nearly any mood. I'm certainly not going to turn down the chance to save this much money and come home with a terrific new wardrobe!

My first look is the one I'll probably be wearing all weekend, the Yasum*Stacy-Set*Rose dollarbie. She's a sweet style with lace trim and a snug fit, whose top and shorts will each fit Lara X, Petite X, Legacy, Perky, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. The metals HUD provided lets us choose from 5 metallic hues for the various rivets and clasps on both pieces. Pink is one of my favorite colors, so this pale shade suits my tastes very well :)

We can also look stunning in the Yasum*Jenny-Set*Moss outfit for just $1L. The cropped top is designed with the hands hidden and in the pockets, so you will need to use the enclosed alpha layer and hide your fingernails. The cargo pants come in the original version and one for the belt, so that's a top, 2 pants versions, and a belt add-on in total :) All of those come in sizing for Lara X, Petite X, Legacy, Perky, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies, along with a metals HUD offering 6 choices for all the metallic bits and pieces. This one feels so playful, and it'll be autumn before we know it (how is it August tomorrow already?) so this outfit is going to come in extremely handy for the weather changes.

The Yasum*Jena*Berry outfit has me humming to myself...I believe in miracles, where you from, you sexy thing? The cropped top has a high neck and long sleeves, and works so well with the low rise leggings and their flirty distressed style. I forgot I was wearing physics so when my avi turned to show the rear, my booty had a little bit of jiggle (through one of the openings) that made me laugh :) For just $1L you'll receive the top and leggings in Lara X, Petite X, Legacy, Perky, Reborn, and Waifu mesh body sizes. Now the challenge is to decide if I want to wear a belly tattoo, back tattoo, or navel piercing with this look. 

Next I changed into the Yasum*Shiho-Set*Peach outfit, which is intricately designed to turn heads wherever you go. It consists of the top, panties, skirt, and boots, all in sizes for Lara X, Petite X, Legacy, Perky, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. The top's HUD offers 6 metals each for the mesh and metal, while the boots HUD has the same 6 options for mesh and buckles. Now by mesh they mean the sections in the panties and knees, mesh like a screen door rather than fitmesh like the whole outfit is :) The skirt being all straps is such a fun detail, like a looser version of the mesh inserts that give it all a breezy cool feeling. This pale peach is pretty similar to the rose color from the first outfit I showed above, and I do adore them both.

My final look of the night is two pieces that are meant to be together - the Yasum*Tender-Dress*Sky and their Tender-Corset*Sky. They are just $1L each, and the dress looks amazing with or without the corset added :) Unpack the dress and you'll find Lara X, Petite X, Legacy, Perky, Reborn, and Waifu sizes inside, and our corset includes coordinating Lara X, Legacy, and Reborn sizing as well as a metals HUD with 6 options. I can also imagine wearing the corset with some BOM lingerie, like a favorite bra and panty set with some thigh high stockings. 

I'm a little groggy from very interrupted sleep for no reason, no noise or storms or anything like that. So I hope everything I've said here makes sense :) Dinner at my parents' house was really nice as usual, and I was lucky that their very shy birds decided to let me handfeed them a tortilla chip. It's all about trust, and these two have almost none for most humans. They're okay with my dad since they seem to trust men more than women, but my mom and I usually get ignored or avoided. The farmers marker is closed tomorrow (and next weekend) so I'm just randomly going out a few other places in the afternoon. There are always errands to run, and it should be decent weather other than being cloudy. Not too hot and not stormy :) I hope you all have a wonderful weekend ahead, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Yasum Discount Dollarbies

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I'm back at Yasum Design, where the new releases section usually contains special discounts. The designer will choose one color of each design and mark it down to $1L for a limited time, so there are about 7 or 8 right now that are deeply reduced in price. Look for the balloon above each display, then the discounted color has a pink balloon dog above it :) When you walk into the new releases area, you can see a large example of the balloon animal on the wall behind the desk, but they aren't hard to spot once you explore the room. As usual I have no idea how long these will be available at their lower price, so I hope you get a chance to stop by soon.

I started the evening with the gorgeous Yasum*Pearla-Set*Berry dollarbie, which is a fantastic color too. The top and pants are each provided in Lara X, Petite X, Legacy, Perky, Reborn, and Waifu mesh body sizes, and there is a HUD with 7 metals apiece for 2 sections. One of those is the front zippers, and the other is our shirt's closures in the rear. All in all, this ia a fun look with the cropped top, long sleeves, and full pant legs that fall all the way down to the ground.

It's so easy to get dressed in a jiffy when your outfit is an entire bodysuit with attached footwear! The Yasum*Valina-Set*Rose new release is the chosen $1L color, strapless with thick platform boots and metal chain trim. There are Lara X, Petite X, Legacy, Perky, Reborn, and Waifu mesh body sizes included, as well as a HUD for the chains - 7 metal colors, 6 sections of chain, on/off options for each as well. Flexible and funky!

Each one of tonight's outfits makes me think "Hey, that's my favorite color!" so the Yasum*Pepper-Set*Plum makes me a very happy camper too :) Its slender top and miniskirt with dramatic hem that comes to a peak in the back each have a separate add-on of tassels, and all pieces are provided in sizing for Lara X, Petite X, Legacy, Reborn, and Waifu bodies. The enclosed HUD offers 7 metals each for 2 sections of the tassels, and 7 colors for the pearls that adorn them. 

The outfit I'll probably wear all weekend is this *Yasum*BonBon-Set*Rose, an adorable long sleeved shirt and short shorts combo. This dollarbie color is so pretty it makes me want to pick up a few more hues :) It includes the shirt and shorts each in Lara X, Petite X, Legacy, Perky, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. I'm hooked on the white embroidered pattern, and the off-kilter playfulness of the slightly bared left shoulder and how the shorts are tugged down at the waist on that same side.

Wrapping up tonight's looks is the lovely *Yasum*Janice*Plum dollarbie. Now you will probably need the corresponding alpha layers included in each of these looks, but it's particularly useful in this case because it is hiding the entire arms and hands so we appear to have our hands tucked into pockets :) The dress and panties are each designed for Lara X, Petite X, Legacy, Perky, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. I love the  lace trim on the hem, and could easily picture this with a pair of pants or shorts layered beneath for a more bundled up look. Reminder to hide your body's nails and remove any rings or bracelets, or you'll have ghostly floating pieces surrounding you ;) Ask me how I know, LOL! 

I'm somehow in an accidental dinosaur era right now, hehe, as earlier I was playing Paleo Pines and then tonight there are several Jurassic Park/World movies playing on TNT. The cuteness of the game makes these movies even more of a shellshock! Dinner with my parents was nice, and my dad is doing well after his gum surgery and bone graft. No discomfort, soft foods for a week, so we had meatloaf and mashed potatoes. He can also have room temperature soup, which doesn't sound as appealing. I'm excited about the farmers market tomorrow morning, as we'll have nice weather and a decent group of vendors :) I hope you all have a beautiful weekend ahead, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Nerdy Girl Is Back!

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I have some terrific news, the grand reopening of the Nerdy Girl store ♥. Their catchphrase is "The clothes you didn't know you needed", and I felt that a lot while browsing their offerings. Their designer, Moira, is definitely as awesome as her display name inworld mentions, and her sassy sense of humor shown on her creations makes me extremely happy. The store group is currently free to join, but please hurry so you don't miss out on that opportunity :) I found several group gifts and picked out a few random delights that it's my pleasure to show you. I have fond memories of shopping at her store and sharing some of her Wash Cart Sale items long ago, and oh my goodness I just looked back at my posts from 2015 and 2016 that made me laugh to the point of wheezing! Well, I would love to warmly welcome Nerdy Girl back to SL and hope you'll join me in visiting.

My first look combines two generous group gifts with very fun and flirty results. The top is the NG - Baby Tee All HUDs gift, which comes in a standard fitmesh size as well as Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Ocacin, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, Tonic Fine, and Voluptuous mesh body sizing. The HUDs are After School and Saturday Morning Cartoons, each with 10 wonderful choices :) School House Rock is a fond memory for me, and I'll probably be humming the Animaniacs theme song all night now ;) As for the shorts, those would be the NG - Short Shorts All Huds which fit Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies. There are two HUDs in this gift too, Patterns and Fades, with 10 choices apiece. Please note that for all of the group gifts, we pay $1L which is automatically refunded while the gift is delivered, so be sure to have at least one linden in your 'wallet'. 

I kept on the Short Shorts here but changed into another group gift called NG - Bandeau Top. This cutie is a flattering tube top in 5 standard mesh sizes along with sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh bodies. You can tell that there are multiple colors, which is thanks to our 10 color HUD that is also included. I'm such a fan of HUDs and the ability to change colors or textures on a whim :) Also the rear view lets you see the pockets on the back of the shorts in addition to more texture choices.

Those shorts came in handy again here so I could show you a new release you might purchase while visiting, the NG - Basic Tank Anti Social Butterfly which is just $99L. The front does have an image featuring the words of its name in two fun fonts, beneath a winged beauty. There are sizes for Freya, Isis, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies included. If this particular saying doesn't speak to you, that's okay as there are several other options available for the same low price. As for myself, I am shy and awkward with a touch of social anxiety so I'm possibly viewed as anti-social at first. So I can't entirely deny this one, and wonder hopefully if it would keep away the flirty peeps who refuse to read in my profile that I am happily taken.

It was genuinely challenging to pick just one pair of jammies to show off here, but I think I made a good choice with the NG - Jammies Rawr Dino set ♥. The phrase "rawr means I love you in dinosaur" takes up an oddly permanent space in my brain, LOL, and the one on our pj top here has lots of adorable friends on the pants too. All the jammies are $169L per set, and consist of top and bottom each in sizing for Freya, Isis, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and Reborn mesh bodies. The colors really caught my eye here too, earth tones that work so well with each other and for dinosaurs in general.

For my final look of the evening, I looked around the store and realized what I would certainly need this holiday weekend - a new dress that is not overly formal and suitable for fall! Fortunately I spotted one right away, the NG - Slip Dress Garden which is one of several (mostly florals) for $129L each. I almost picked a pale blue with sunflowers to be honest, but this classic pattern of mixed flowers on a black background won me over. It includes Freya, Isis, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and Reborn mesh body sizing. My RL weather may be too chilly for this lovely dress, but nothing can stop me in SL from indulging in this breezy style any time of year :) I tried the Lara X with it because of the relatively loose fit, but it would take a lot of breast and butt alpha-ing so it is doable but not ideal. I do expect many designers to be able to provide the new rigging/sizing soon though, so no worries there.

It was a busy day here, helping prepare for the Thanksgiving celebration that I can't attend (but still helping anyway I can) and baring my soul in therapy. I have some new 'homework' to help with the anxiety, and I'll be taking a couple of walks tomorrow to keep from being bored or lonely. There's also a chance I will be able to do a voice chat with those who are at dinner, which would be reassuring I think. The weather will be clear, unlike yesterday, so it should be fine to walk. I'm taking tomorrow evening off from blogging, so my next post will be Friday evening. I'd like to wish all who are celebrating a very Happy Thanksgiving, and for those who don't I wish you all the best as always. I'm very thankful to have this opportunity to share free and affordable fashions with all of you, and just to share a tiny slice of my life here. I hope you're all having a glorious day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Vivacious Variety

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we have a bit of variety, but are starting with another Free Dove Spooky Flash Hunt. This time it is courtesy of Paper.Sparrow, who have hidden 3 prizes at The Free Dove and 3 at their mainstore for a total of 6 wonderful free prizes. The ones at The Free Dove need the "Blessed by a Dove" group tag active to claim them, and the prizes at Paper.Sparrow need their store's group tag which is currently free to join. The hunt object is a bird skeleton that I want to guess is (was?) a crow or raven, and they are not very big so they hide very well. The odd numbers are at the mainstore and the even numbered gifts are at The Free Dove, and I was pleased at how well they all work together to mix and match. I had already been a Paper.Sparrow group member and didn't realize it was free to join again, so I selected one of their group gifts (located upstairs near the lucky boards for group members) to share that I felt had a potentially Halloween feel yet still perfect for any time of year. I also have another new release from Telsiope's Couture to share, one that I absolutely love and hope you will too :)

My first look starts with the Paper.Sparrow Witchy Leah Top which is prize #1 found at their mainstore. It is provided in Freya, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn mesh body sizes, with a cropped style and fun laces in the back tied with a dangling bow. It pairs so nicely with prize #2 which you can find at The Free Dove, called Paper.Sparrow Witchy Leah Skirt. This lovely wrap skirt fits Freya, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn bodies, and has the same fabric texture as the Leah Top with spell books, witch hats, eyeballs, and more. I love purple so it makes me happy to see it used as a Halloween color in addition to the most common orange and black combo, since for this time of year it makes me picture dusk and a full moon. 

More of that spellbinding print can be found on both of the prizes in this look, for example the Paper.Sparrow Witchy Edna Top which is prize #3 found at Paper.Sparrow's mainstore. This ruffled tube top comes in sizes for Freya, Isis, Hourglass, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh bodies. I wore it with the Paper.Sparrow Witchy Bella Pants which are prize #4 from The Free Dove location, flattering high waisted leggings in the same sizes as the Edna top. I was just going in order of the hunt prize numbers but you can combine these separates any way that makes you happy.

Prize #5 at the mainstore is this cute cropped tank called Paper.Sparrow Witchy Jane Top. It is provided in Freya, Isis, Hourglass, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh body sizes, with that playfully seasonal print like the first few prizes. I was also very happy to find the 6th prize, at The Free Dove, which is the Paper.Sparrow Witchy Jane Jumpsuit. This solid purple jumpsuit has a dusky almost smoky tone to it, and goes delightfully with the pattern on our hunt prize tops. It fits the same sizes as the Jane top, and I can easily think of a dozen things in my inventory that will look adorable layered underneath it! I might even suggest that there are tops among the many available Paper.Sparrow group gifts, which leads me to my next look...

This beauty is the Paper.Sparrow Lunar Bonnie Outfit Gift which is one of several generous group gifts that you can claim with that free group tag while you visit the mainstore. The image on the front has a supernatural feeling to me, which I also associate with Halloween so the timing felt right :) The long sleeved crop top and flirty shorts each fit Freya, Isis, Hourglass, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh bodies. If the shorts are a bit too short for your local weather, you could always wear a pair of jeans or long skirt with the shirt instead, it's all up to you. 

Over at Telsiope's Couture, you can find this amazing Beachy outfit as a brand new release for just $99L. The top, arm wraps, belt, and skirt will each fit Belleza Classic, Belleza Curvy, Erika, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Petite, Reborn, and Reborn Juicy bodies. The outfit also includes a wonderful HUD with 10 textures each for top, arm wraps, and skirt, so we can change the look and get creative. There are a few patterns as you can see above, as well as several solids that coordinate nicely with those prints, and you can even leave off the arm wraps for a different look if you wish. Don't be surprised if you see me running around the grid in this outfit, LOL, but the surprise will be what texture combo I choose.

The most noteworthy thing about my day would probably be that the replacement fridge/freezer is finally installed, yay! It was so weird having it waiting in the garage, when all I wanted to do was get it wiped down inside and get it chilling ;) Now I can get enough food for several days at a time and not have to worry about where it will fit, hehe, and I can freeze things again which is nice too. There are so many things in SL right now that I want to blog about all at once, so the next week or so is going to be chaos in a good way. Too much to do is better than not enough, because slow can be boring. I hope you're all having a peachy day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Shop & Hop and New Release

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I have some exciting gifts to share from the Halloween Shop & Hop 2022, which encompasses 16 regions filled with booths from SL's top designers. They each offer discounted selections so we can save money, and nearly all of them have a gift for visitors to claim for free with no group tag required. I always enjoy the Shop & Hop events for every season, and this round lasts until the first of November so the day after Halloween. What I do is take the event gifts one region at a time to share, so you can find them easier, and tonight's featured sim/region is Tinseled. I also have some exciting news - I am now officially blogging for Telsiope's Couture, and will be showing you one of their lovely new releases this evening :)  

My first look tonight is the >>GothiCatz<< OctoberVibes (Girls) gift from Shop & Hop, one of two gifts at their display since there is one for the guys as well. This striking dress is provided in Freya, Isis, eBody Reborn, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh body sizes. The top has a dramatic V both front and back, tied with bold bows atop each shoulder, and the pattern on the skirt features leaves and skulls as a nod to autumn and Halloween.

Les Sucreries de Fairy is known for their innovative creations, like this Halloween Death Gift that has been crafted for the Maitreya mesh body. It is one piece with layered corset and panties, in black fabric with tiny animated sparkles. The grim reaper on the front is remarkably cute, surrounded by spiderwebs and coffins :)

For a frightfully fun gift, be sure to stop by the MOoH! display to claim their free Blaire dress. This is a very generous gift, with the dress in Erika, Kupra, Kups, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn mesh body sizes, a bloody necklace with resize script that mimics the look of a slit throat, and a bloody knife with built in hold pose. The blood splattered on my skin is a BOM tattoo that has regular and Evo X versions, so the face markings will line up correctly no matter which type head you wear. The dress includes a HUD with 5 texture choices, all of which are stained with blood and one (seen on the left above) is a floral pattern while the rest are solid colors. I'd like to be able to pretend that my avi just got clumsy cutting a cherry pie, but even her feet are messy...I think she'll have to plead the fifth ;)

If you need a Halloween costume and would like something less gory, how about this playful *LuLu* Pumpkin outfit? It is designed to fit the Maitreya mesh body, and includes a hat, corset, skirt, panty, and boots. I love the texturing to look like leaves and a ripe pumpkin, and having each piece separate is handy if you wish to wear them individually like sliding out of the skirt for a romantic holiday at home.

My final look this evening is the wonderful new release from Telsiope's Couture called Amber halloween. The dress and boots are each provided in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizes, with a HUD that offers 12 texture choices for the dress. That would be 4 different colors, each in solid or with two lovely gold patterns which can each be seen above on different background hues. The black belt is built into the dress and matches the thigh-high boots perfectly for a terrific look that suits Halloween season or really any time of year. This beauty is just $50L at the mainstore of Telsiope's Couture, so be sure to visit soon and try out this affordable look :) I have happily blogged many gifts and hunt prizes from them in the past, so it is a pleasure to be blogging their creations in an official capacity. 

It was a chaotic sort of day, as the new fridge/freezer was not able to be installed because the delivery people (third party, not official employees of the store it was purchased from) were not allowed to touch the old one and its water line. It had a built in icemaker that died long ago, but the new one does not. A local plumber is coming in the morning to take care of that, and the delivery folks will be rescheduled soon. It is a good thing we have 2 mini fridges and can use a little space in my parents' freezer in the meantime. The housemate's houseguest left this morning and is safely home, so that is a small relief. I hope you're all having a great day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Sexy and Seventeen

Hiya everyone! Tonight I will begin to show you some of the many gifts we can find at the SL17B Shop and Hop, part of Second Life's 17th Birthday celebration. There are 10 full sims loaded with designers offering discounted items, and most have a free gift for all visitors. Some are in little suitcases, others are signs on walls or other types of gift boxes, just look around each display carefully if you do not see it immediately. With so many sims, I will do what I usually do with their larger events and share them one sim at a time, so tonight's gifts can all be found on the Frosted sim. It is the weekend and things could be crowded, but the good news is that the event is open until the 12th of July so you can certainly wait until things are less hectic there. I went two days ago and it was busy but none of the sims were full to the point of not letting me in, and I visited half of them at that time. After the weekend, I will tackle the other five and have a terrific time unpacking those generous treats! Meanwhile I also have a new-ish release from [Ari-Pari] to show you that is close to my heart, and may be meaningful for many of you too.

My first look of the evening is a gift from #AplBlossom, their Ari No. 9 outfit. It is one of two SL17B gifts at this display, and there are 2 group gifts there if you happen to be in their group :) Ari No. 9 is a one piece with the appearance of two, a tank top and high waisted panties with a skirt attached, and includes both versions shown above (patterned and solid skirts) each sized for Freya, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh bodies.

The other treat I mentioned being at this display is from the Blossom&Seeds brand, called SL17B - Italy Exclusive Pack. It is also a single piece with built in layers of dress, bra top, and belt, and comes in sizes for Freya, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh bodies. There is a HUD provided to let you pick from 5 solid colors for the top and 5 pretty patterns for the blouse-style dress. The top is rather sheer because of being lace.

This gorgeous slip dress is our gift from Faida named Blanche, and she is a delicate satiny halter style with fun floral pattern. The gift includes Legacy, Legacy Perky, and Maitreya sizing. I couldn't resist trying on the gift from Gabrielle Hamelin with it, which is the lovely Adora Fun - Shards Necklace with Resizer. It even comes in an extra tiny size, but I wore the regular one and used the resize script to make it a bit bigger. The choker part itself reminds me of rock candy and its sweet clusters, while the heart pendant looks like hammered metal for a very attractive look.

I noticed I have been favoring shades of blue lately, so I was delighted to unpack this beautiful {le fil casse} Kennedy Dress Ice gift. It includes Freya, Isis, Hourglass, Legacy, and Maitreya sizing, with detached sleeves and lots of gathers for a charming style. I'll bet that necklace from the previous photo would look just as pretty with this neckline.

Over to [Ari-Pari], where they would like to remind us that Love Is Love with this poignant tee. It is ideal for Pride month of course, but just as true any day of the year :) The shirt comes in sizes for eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies, with a HUD offering 12 background colors. It is just $150L and better yet, with their free group tag is discounted to $135L. I personally am not LGBT+ but I am a proud ally, with friends and family members who are, and will always have my support and love as all LGBT+ folks do ♥. There are a couple of other pride designs too, so please head to that back wall and have a peek!

Hooray for the weekend! I am a bit anxious about parts of it, but looking forward to it nonetheless. I will be taking the day off from blogging tomorrow, as the fans did arrive for my poor hardworking PC so they will be replaced by a family member who has much more experience than I ever will at that sort of thing. I do not expect any problems, but it felt logical to just plan the day without any deadlines or pressure and to not rush said family member. The computer has been making noises for several months off and on, but the past few weeks it really increased and made me even more concerned. I am doing what must be done, and will be relieved to be back Sunday with more SL17B goodies to share :) In the meantime, I hope you all have a safe and beautiful weekend, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

More Elemental Desires

Hiya everyone! Tonight I have more hunt prizes from the Elemental Desire Hunt 2 to show you, from the $1L female path. There is also a $1L male path and a $25L path, so be sure you're following the correct hint from their website so you pick up the one you want. The hunt object is 4 black discs with element symbols on them, and is pictured on the website so you can find it easier. I also have a new release from LIVIA to share, a beautiful and versatile set of earrings that I am wearing in all photos with a closer view at the end.

My first look features the prize from ikr! called Ladies CropTee - ELEMENTS w 6-texture HUD. The tee comes in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Ocacin, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, Tonic Fine, and Voluptuous mesh bodies. The HUD mentioned in the name has 5 individual elements (like earth on the left) and an image with the 4 symbols as they appear on the hunt object. The pants are my favorite Delizio jeans from the marketplace that appear on here pretty often :) They come in system layers and appliers for Maitreya and Omega, in plenty of colors including the light blue shown above.

You can head to the beach and experience the elements of water and earth (sand is still earth, right?) in this fun prize from The Sissy Bar. This playful swimsuit comes in standard mesh sizes plus eBody Classic, eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine sizing. There is also a male prize and a $25L path prize, so be sure the location matches the hint before you purchase this prize.

Next we have the charming Dragonmoon Designs female prize called [DD] Water, a sleek latex strapless mini dress with bold green and blue dots. It is provided in standard mesh sizes as well as versions for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP mesh bodies. The seams really add to the shaping of this dress, and the almost wet look of the material is a nice touch with the Water theme.

This prize has a shimmery texture that looks even better in person, so head on over to NUTS Inc and find that hunt object :) I believe they are taking part in the male path too, so it is extra important to follow the hint to grab the correct one, which holds this charming Gaia Dress. Their delivery HUD has options for the mesh body brand size you wish to receive, so you don't have to fill your inventory with all of those sizes at once. There are Altamura, eBody (curvy), Belleza (Freya, Isis, Venus), Maitreya (Lara), Slink (Hourglass and Physique) and TMP buttons to choose from. There is a lot to appreciate about this dress, from the fascinating print to the unique hem and fun straps in the back.

My final look of the evening is a closer view of the new Bella Earring Set from LIVIA, available now at their main store for just $179L. The small hoops and the threader earrings are separate attachments for each ear, so you can add all or just the ones you wish, and there is a HUD included with 8 metals to select from for the hoops and for the threaders. There are also materials on/off options, tinting, and resize features on the HUD, so it is such a handy set. This is the type of jewelry you can wear everyday and have it look different each time, with casual or more formal outfits.

Today was a hot and humid one, but I had a nice time at the farmers market and got lots of tasty food for the next few days. I hope you're all having a terrific day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Love Me some LIVIA

Hiya everyone! Tonight I have some hunt prizes to show you, from the Love Me - Not Hunt. It is a $1L gridwide hunt that runs until the end of the month, so you have almost a week to track down these terrific prizes. The hunt object we're looking for is a red rose bud (no stem, just the bloom) and there are hints on the website to help you. The prizes are Valentines themed without being overly specific, meaning they will look splendid well beyond this month and season. Completing all my looks tonight are some new nails from LIVIA, which I will fill you in on at the very end with a closer look too.

My first look is the prize from Aguas, their charming Sophie Valentines Mesh Dress. It is included in a fitmesh standard version along with sizes for eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique bodies. The golden gleam of the belt and bow look so pretty against the shades of red, don't they?

I got such a chuckle from this fun prize, the Love Bites Outfit from Southern Sass. It includes the knotted t-shirt and shorts, each in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizes. A word of warning - the shirts are "no copy" so the automatic unpacker from wearing the HUD will not unpack them, you must rez it to the ground and right click - open. Believe me, I was confused when I went to the folder at first and only found shorts, so I am speaking from first hand experience. The t-rex chomping on a heart while stomping on the words LOVE BITES make for a hilarious shirt, and the shorts are daringly short with ties at each upper thigh.

Waffles is offering two different prizes hiding in their store, one for the men and this darling *WW* Love Me Chole Dress for the ladies. I didn't notice that it was based on the same mesh as the first prize I shared until I took the photos, and honestly it doesn't bother me to have multiple versions of the same dress because I like seeing how each designer chooses to texture it :) It comes in a fitmesh standard size for classic avatars, plus eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh body versions. Helpful hint to find this one - teleport to the floor of women's fashions.

I slipped back into the shorts from Southern Sass because I needed some bottoms to wear with the prize from MadCatCreations. Their rose also contains something for the men, but the ladies will want to unpack this sweater and tank top set that you can wear layered or separately. They are each provided in standard fitmesh sizes along with eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine versions. I am thinking this would look great with a favorite pair of jeans or leggings for these cooler months too, and the tank with both solid and broken hearts can bring you clear into summer if you wish.

LIVIA has a fantastic new set of Bento mesh nails that caught my attention since I love black combined with either gold or silver, so elegant! These are their Black Matte Glitter Bento Nails [Ballerina], with a very popular shape and intriguing designs. They include versions for Maitreya, Slink, Tuty, and Tonic hands, each in medium (shown) or long lengths, and a HUD with 20 designs to choose from, all for just $199L. You can polish them all at once in the same gorgeous style, or choose one of the 5 nails on the HUD to do just both index fingers, both ring fingers, etc. There are plenty of glittery designs, and various stripes and bands of gold or silver across the satiny matte black polish. These are so easy to wear, too...just hide the nails that are built onto your hands with the hands' HUD, and add the LIVIA nails that match your hand brand. Then you get to play with the manicure HUD and choose your style!

It was a somewhat busy day today, and tomorrow will be even more so, as a matter of fact I will be taking the evening off from blogging because of it. All is well, I just have a lot going on and am going to take a little break to recharge my creative batteries :) I hope you're all having a nice day/evening and have a fun weekend ahead, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
