Blue Savannah

 Hiya everyone! Tonight's post comes from the Blue SL Event, which has about a week left on their current round and lots of $50L exclusive sales for us to enjoy. What you'll find here though is several group gifts that you can claim if you've joined their free group, and there are different goodies for group members each month so it is well worth the group slot :) As for the title, I've somehow developed a tradition of using song titles with the word 'blue' in them, and it's become more of a challenge as time goes by. Blue Savannah is a catchy Erasure song from 1990, a synth pop ditty that is romantic but not a slow song. It's not a genre I'm well versed in (pun intended?) so it was fun to look back and remember something I hadn't heard in ages. I also appreciate its reminder that home is where the heart is ♥ so SL truly is my second home. Eventually I might have to reuse some songs, lol!

Let's start with the flirty ELITE - BRASIL group gift, which you can pick up by clicking the word GIFT on their display rather than looking for the traditional blue and white hatbox shaped gift :) The top and shorts are each provided in sizing for Lara X, Legacy, Reborn, and Squish mesh bodies. I'm gobsmacked at how beautiful the design on the top is, and I'd love a recommendation for a Brazilian region to visit in SL that might help me appreciate the natural beauty there even more. I'm also impressed by that spicy rear view, lol.

When you head into the event building and look to the immediate right, you will see a special VIP group gift each round. This time we have two treats in one box from Intisl, and when you click it you'll see a blue menu pop up with choices of body sizes - Kupra, Lara X, Legacy, or Reborn. If you want more than one size, by all means please give it another click and pick another one :) The Intisl Elie dress gold is the beauty on the left above, while Intisl Trace dress blue is looking fashionable to the right. I would ask which one you all prefer, but honestly it doesn't even matter when you get to pick up both for free :) As for my favorite, that depends on the destination and I think the gold dress looks hot for an evening at a club, while the blue is shorter and feels like a fun date choice. 

Our Nut & Squirrel Apsara casual gift outfit is a playful pairing of tank top, sleeves, leggings, and a belly chain that will all fit Belleza Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Reborn, and Juicy mesh bodies. There are HUDs as well, so we have 30 colors for the top, 30 for the sleeves, 20 solid colors and 20 patterns for the leggings, and 5 metals for the chains. Just use the arrows on the lower left of each HUD to see the next page of options. The top has a chain on it too by the way, just to help pull the look together :) Guess what I'm wearing around the grid tonight?

So I may have gasped out loud just a little when I spotted the beautiful @rOrO Cotton Candy Daisy Dress gift, but just look at it - can you blame me? :) Flowers make me happy, and this color combo is always a winner. The style brings thoughts of breezy summer evenings, maybe dancing with someone special to our title song. This gift includes sizes for Erika, Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, and Reborn bodies. 

My final look this evening is the Jada Shorts Set Teal gift from Allure Couture. I'm a huge fan of their creations, so I couldn't wait to unpack this treat! There is an unpacking HUD so you can choose to deliver Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, Reborn, or Waifu mesh body sizes. That folder contains the top, shorts, and choker & sleeves which are linked together. The top and sleeves have a gorgeous floral pattern, while the choker and shorts are solid dusky teal. I'm wearing just the top and shorts on the right so you can see what it looks like to omit the choker & sleeves piece, just as lovely of course :) 

Whew, it's a steamy week out there! It was 78 degrees in here for a while, but it's down to 74 so I am feeling relief. My plans of gaming with friends for tomorrow got canceled unfortunately, due to plans that they forgot and can't change, but it's not a big deal and I still chat with one of them daily online. It's fun to have a gab session on the phone too of course, but I am very easygoing about plans changing since I've had to cancel things last minute plenty of times. I'm really excited about the new month and all the new rounds of hunts and events that are in store for us in SL, since you never know what you'll find at each of them :) I hope you're all having a pleasant day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Nut & Squirrel Outlet Goodies

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I realized it had been a bit since I shared anything from the Nut & Squirrel outlet, formerly Telsiope's Couture so that is the brand name on the offers there. That includes 26 grab bags of Maitreya clothing (18 pieces each), 5 for Legacy (what I'm sharing tonight), some for Belleza, free BOM gifts, and some random bags for free with various sizes. The outlet is a great way to save money on high quality clothing! I'm showing several items from the Legacy Bag 2 in this post, so it was $10L total for everything here and then some. I had so much fun trying on various pieces to see what all is in the bag, and I am really grateful for the bounty of bargains.

First I slipped into the lovely Telsiope's Couture Juliana LEGACY dress. There's also a Perky size included for this one, as with several of these treats. I love the single strap and the cutout on the midriff, and that deep crimson color is an instant attention grabber. We even have a notch in the back of the skirt, which in RL would make it easier to walk. 

I simply adore this pairing of Telsiope's Couture Nixie Top - Legacy and the matching Nixie Skirt - Legacy. You will also find a Perky size top in this bag of goodies. These pieces have a monochromatic plaid pattern that feels both elegant and edgy, while the strappy style of the clothing brings flirty vibes :) You could easily wear either of these with other items from your inventory for even more variety too, as they are versatile neutrals.

You probably know if you've been here before that I love lace, so the Telsiope's Couture Mandy_Legacy dress was a dreamy find for me :) Perky wearers, you've got a version in this bag to fit you too. The bright green is cheerful and I like it for the summer (grassy fields, some bodies of water) and the sheer lacy panels could make for a spicy weekend.

Speaking of summer, the Telsiope's Couture Mina Bra Legacy also comes in a Perky size, and they match our Mina Bikini Legacy perfectly for a sunny day on the beach or in a pool :) The pale silver chains for our straps are a beautiful touch, and I would happily pair the bra top with a skirt or shorts instead for some variety.

My final look of the evening is an adventurous one with four different options. We start with the Telsiope's Couture Melissa LEGACY jacket, in a deep but bright sapphire blue shade with the front open just a touch. We could layer a BOM bra or shirt beneath very easily, which leads to the other part of the outfit. That would be a set of 4 BOM or system layer pants, of which I'm wearing Melissa Pants 4 on the left and Melissa Pants 1 on the right. They are all black but have different designs so you can decide which one suits your personal tastes or mood on any given day :) They are all so creative and intriguing, and it is tempting to mix them up with some of the tops also included in this outlet grab bag.

It was a really hot day here, and tomorrow looks like it'll be even hotter, so I am absolutely getting the sunscreen ready for my visit to the farmers market :) Not that you only need sun protection because of heat, but it is going to be very sunny and the last thing we want when already feeling warm is sunburn. Dinner at my parents' was nice, and my mom showed me a few cute animal videos while my dad watched baseball. He's become quite the sports nut in his senior years, lol, and I don't mind even if I am not a diehard fan. The plan is to get to the market early when it's still cooler (80s instead of 90s) and then come home and relax with some video games. I hope you all have a lovely weekend ahead, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Blue Bayou

 Hiya everyone! Tonight's post had me doing a deep dive into more songs with "blue" in the title, so that means it's time for the Blue SL event :) I have no idea why I started that habit, but each month I've been continuing it and I truly enjoy the challenge. So our event is a very fun one, with exclusive offers and $50L sales at each booth. You'll also find a group gift at many of them, mostly in hatbox style boxes tied with blue ribbon. The Blue SL group is free to join, and rather than just celebrating a yearly anniversary with gifts they tend to offer them every single month :) I've got the Linda Ronstadt version of the title song in my head by the way, which one do you know?

I'm sorry, did I roll my eyes out loud?  That is what the top of our [SINiNC] I'm Sorry Group Gift says, and the top and shorts are linked to be worn as a one-piece outfit. There are sizes for Lara X, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Reborn, Juicy Rolls, and Waifu mesh bodies. I hope it's not too surprising that I have in fact said or thought this exact expression, usually when a family member or the housemate decides to act foolishly.

I couldn't resist showing you the @rOrO Ashley & Everly Hearts Pattern 3 outfit, since it has a great mix of flirty and romantic styling. The bare shouldered top and full skirt will each fit Erika, Lara X, Legacy, Reborn, and Star mesh bodies. So pretty, and it is suitable for any season or lots of occasions. 

Sometimes we get lucky that among the gifts are separates that we can pair together if we wish. For example, The Bold Llama T-Shirt Co. SWIM Tee is a versatile cutie that will go with a wide range of pants, shorts, leggings, and more. It has the word "Swim" in pink above the ocean, but there are a few suspicious tentacles so I hope you are a fast swimmer ;) This tee is provided in standard mesh sizes as well as eBody Classic, eBody Reborn, Waifu, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP mesh body versions, all via unpacker HUD so you can just choose the one you need. I added the Intisl Noir pants black gift which is the perfect neutral to wear with any color top you wish, then shoes to match either the pants or the shirt. Our gift includes Lara X, Legacy, and Reborn mesh body sizing. I mainly showed the rear view so you could see that there are no pockets back there, providing a sleek silhouette from behind.

Nut & Squirrel are also offering a sweet treat for us, their lovely Lindsey dress for all group members. The wrap style is a perennial favorite of mine, something I remember from peeking at fashion magazines in doctors' waiting rooms as a kid :) There are sizes for Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies included, along with 4 HUDs. The left side and right side each have 2, with 20 colors apiece, and one for each side is solid colors while the other is stripes. As you can tell, I enjoyed mixing things up and texturing one side striped with the other solid, but you can do whatever makes you happy of course :)

My final look of the evening is a sassy outfit from Allure Couture called Brandi Shorts Set Blue+Pink. I always look forward to their gifts, and this is certainly a great example of why :) Our blue jacket, pink shorts, and blue boots are all provided in sizes for Lara X, Legacy, Bombshell, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. Those laced up boots and booty shorts make for such a fun rear view!

Greetings from day two of a mini heat wave...I'm more of an "everything in moderation" type gal, including temperatures, so you can imagine that I am not at my best. Thank goodness for fans, and that I am a night owl who can enjoy when the temps drop in the darkness. It's going to be really weird when Thursday is 35 degrees cooler than Wednesday, thanks to lots of rain headed my way. Power outages are a strong possibility from the lightning or wind, so I will probably be a bit more nervous tomorrow. Otherwise I've got tasty food and a tivo full of things to enjoy, so my day shouldn't be too bad. I hope you're all having a pleasant day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Blue Bayou

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we are visiting the monthly Blue SL event, which is open until the 8th of May so you have time to enjoy. That might include picking up demos for the $50L sales offers or exclusives, and if you like what you see here tonight it should also consist of joining their free VIP group (if not already a member) and claiming some generous gifts :) They generally have new gifts each month, so it is always delightful to stop by and see what catches your eye. I'd developed a habit of using song titles with "blue" in them for my post titles, so I am sticking with that theme once again. I'm also taking suggestions for future rounds ;)

My first look comes from the wonderful Allure Couture, who are regulars here at Blue SL and always have something special. Their Kimono Set Pink comes on an unpacker HUD that lets you choose your body from Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, Juicy, and Waifu sizes. The folder will contain the kimono, C-string, and heels in the version you've selected. I've noticed that their gifts are frequently this shade of dusky mauve pink, and I am such a fan of it :)

Another brand I look forward to seeing here is @rOrO, and their Whitney PinkNTeal Jumpsuit is a perfect example of why :) These colors look phenomenal together, and the jumpsuit is the right touch of breezy and flirty with that fun opening in the front. There are sizes for Erika, Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, Nhumana, Prima, Reborn, and Star mesh bodies, with a HUD for the belt that offers 5 colors plus an 'off' option. So lovely!

I combined two gifts for one terrific seasonal outfit here. The Angels Amazing Creations gift is called Hello Spring Shirt, and it will certainly wake up the spirit of spring with the vibrant yellow hue :) We receive a classic M size as well as Freya, Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, Ocacin, Hourglass, Physique, Reborn, Tonic Curvy, Tonic Fine, and Voluptuous mesh body versions. The floral wreath image on the front says "Welcome Spring" in the middle. It pairs really well with the Intisl jeans black gift, which will fit Lara X, Legacy, and Reborn bodies. I got a kick out of the distressed style, with a few rips both front and back that show just how well worn and loved a pair of jeans can become.

Next we get flirtatious with the Nut & Squirrel Freyja gift. The way this dress is laced up in the back and tied with a sweet bow is just *chef's kiss*, lol, and it is a really versatile treat. The dress fits Erika, Kupra Bimbo, Legacy, Perky, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, Juicy, and Waifu mesh bodies, and includes a HUD with 25 colors. The hardest part is picking just two colors to show off ;) 

Sometimes we just need something to snuggle, and the [.KK.] Cute Blue Doll Plushie gift from Khaos Kreations is ready to fill that need. Isn't she a sweetie? She's got a built in hold pose just like you see here, and I think the way her big blue bow matches her eyes is my favorite detail. 

All I can think about tonight is the hockey game I just watched, LOL, because it was just that exciting :) My team has had a rough road to the playoffs, and are playing truly exceptionally so I am a happy camper. The 4th game of the best of 7 series (currently 3-0) is going to be so wild to watch! Meanwhile I've got a hair appointment tomorrow along with a few other errands while I'm out, so no time for a blog post tomorrow evening. I'll be back on Thursday though. I hope you're all having a fantastic day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Dove's Dreamy Gifts

 Hiya everyone! Tonight it's back to the enchanting Doves Dream event for more generous group gifts. They are free with the Doves Angel tag from the Palomma Plaza group, which is also free to join. There are so many top designers here, offering gifts and specially priced sales items for us to enjoy. As I've mentioned, it is a celebration of the life and RL birthday of Palomma Casanova, a.k.a. Dove, who ran The Free Dove on this very same region. She meant so much to the SL community, and her friendship was truly a blessing to me. We have about 2 weeks left to visit, so come on over and explore :)

The first gift I selected to share is our Nut & Squirrel Flavia dress, a figure-hugging long sleeved mini dress with built in gold chain belt. There are Erika, Kupra, Lara X, Petite X, Legacy, Perky, Prima, Prima Petite, Reborn, and Waifu sizes included, as well as a HUD that lets us pick from 20 pretty colors. We get a touch of elegance from the sheer sleeves and upper bodice, while the puckered seam on the back adds a touch of flirtatiousness.

Our Lara AC Dress Zara Gift consists of several colors that are each packaged separately, mostly with no-copy permissions so please unpack these manually (rez out on the ground, right click - copy to inventory). I'm wearing red on the left and brown on the right, plus you'll also find lilac, black, blue, and green versions inside. Each of these are provided in sizing for Erika, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, and Reborn mesh bodies. The single shoulder style is such a fun one, isn't it? I also like the attached belt and the little notches on the front of our skirt.

Another thoughtful gift with a sheer section is the Melody Ayana// Fatpack. Its lovely long sleeves end in a soft ruffle, and the bodice is transparent with a few seams that could contain boning to hold the dress in place. Our gift includes Lara X, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Reborn, and Waifu mesh body sizes, as well as a HUD that has 30 colors each of solid and animal patterns. The hem is particularly short, barely longer than the sleeves, so naturally I suggest adding your favorite undies.

Next we see the lovely Ydea Style Exclusive Gift, which has the name of the event right on the dress :) The gift consists of the dress and the golden garter you see here, each in sizing for Lara X, Legacy, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. The sides are open, held with crossed pink straps, and the soft pink and white colors add to the ethereal feeling. 

Just one more look for the night, which also has an ethereal quality that suits the 'dream' part of the event name. Our fuayu Angelo gift (Maitreya LaraX) is a beautiful gown with square neckline trimmed in lace, falling softly to the floor in gentle pleats. The teal blue color seems to glow, doesn't it? As the name indicates, the gift comes in a single mesh size that is rigged for the Lara X body, but since it is loose fitting I believe it could work with other brands and perhaps some alpha adjustments.

Have I mentioned lately that Pokopia is ridiculously addictive? LOL! Tonight's gaming evening with friends has it on my mind, and we absolutely had a great time so I am in a very good mood :) The temperature has gone up considerably so it's pretty warm in here, 76.5 right now in this room. That might erode my mood eventually, so fingers crossed that the fan helps soon. I hope you're all enjoying your day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Telsiope's Couture Outlet

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we are exploring some outlet bargains from Nut & Squirrel, formerly known as Telsiope's Couture. Their former name is the one you'll find on all their $10L packages there, which include 18 pieces of the corresponding mesh body size that you select. I'm sharing some of the Maitreya #6 pack, so all the fashions you see in this post and several more can be yours for just $10L. There are over two dozen waiting for just the Maitreya body, and other bodies are represented too so I suggest taking a peek no matter what body you usually wear :) This is not their mainstore location but a separate spot by the way, in a different region.

We start with the Telsiope's Couture Hanna Top Maitreya and matching Telsiope's Couture Hanna Skirt Maitreya. The wrap skirt goes beautifully with the bare shouldered top, decorated with lovely lace and tied up the back. They are in the same beautiful shade of blue, but I would still enjoy pairing either with other items in my inventory.

The beautiful Telsiope's Couture Fay Maitreya dress made me feel like I was diving into spring a little early :) That floral pattern brings instant smiles, and I really like the maroon ruffles that bring out the colors of the flowers even more. 

Next I changed into the Telsiope's Couture Gloria Maitreya dress, with its playful pattern in lots of bright colors. I'm always a fan of a halter neckline, and this dress has a bit of corset lacing in the back for added visual appeal. 

I also get royal or medieval with the Telsiope's Couture Honey Maitreya and their Honey Tiara. The full length gown has a deep V neckline and attached golden belt, looking elegant with the bare shoulders. I was excited to add the tiara since I don't normally wear many headpieces, but this one fit beautifully. The dress looks just as stunning without the tiara of course :) 

My final look of the night is another pairing, the cozy Telsiope's Couture Eveline Maitreya and their Eveline Jeans in the same size. The turtleneck's color looks a lot like the gown from the prior photo, doesn't it? Our jeans have a snug fit with a little distressed tear on the left thigh, such a fun style that will go with many favorite shirts I already have that just need the right pants. 

My day was okay, nothing too special, but fortunately no more mouse sightings so I am a little less nervous about that. Instead I get to be nervous about an outing tomorrow, lol, which is a surprise because the way things were going this week I wasn't sure we would have time for that. The coffee and tea shop I'm going to is closing permanently on Saturday, which is a bummer but I definitely wanted to get there one last time before that happens. So I'll be out most of the day, no time to prep a blog post but I will be back on Thursday :) I hope you're all having a terrific day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

True Blue SL

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I have some wonderful group gifts from the BLUE SL Event, whose current round just opened a couple of days ago and lasts until the 8th of March. The items aren't all blue by the way, so you will find lots of fashions and home decor in all sorts of hues and styles that may fit your tastes. I usually use a song title with 'blue' in it for their posts, and it looks like I somehow never used Madonna's True Blue which is surprising because her music was a big part of my teenage fashion and music styling :) I'm always so happy when I visit this event, since I get to see longtime favorite brands as well as some new ones each time to help keep things fresh.

Coincidentally I am starting with a touch of blue though, one of many choices for our Nut & Squirrel Patrizia gift. That is because we receive a HUD with 40 textures which are a mix of solids and patterns, then a second Color HUD lets us tint the background in our choice of 40 hues. I gave the one on the right above a peachy tint, and can switch it back to original by choosing the white color on that HUD. This flirty dress comes in sizes for Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Lara X, Legacy, Reborn, Juicy, and Waifu mesh bodies. 

This fantastic outfit is the Tami Fuzzy Sweater Set Pink gift from Allure Couture. Its sweater, skirt, panties, and boots + socks are all provided in Lara X, Legacy, Perky, Reborn, and Waifu mesh body sizing, and is leaning purple in my lighting. Since pink and purple are both my favorite colors, I am thrilled either way :) There is something so playful about the combo of a miniskirt and socks that go all the way up to mid-thigh, like we're showing just enough skin to turn heads but still appropriate for most audiences.

Time to change tops, which worked out really well since the Uni-qu3 ::*Jacquelin Top*::8 gift is in the same color family. It fits Lara X, Petite X, Legacy, Perky, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. As for details, it's loaded with them - tiny spikes around the high neckline, pink patterned inset, sexy crop length, and the rear view was a surprise when I turned and saw that most of the back is bare :) That lighter pink fabric makes a small appearance there too.

I might be channeling Madonna's Erotica era here instead of True Blue, LOL, as that was the timeframe of her Sex book ;) This revealing treat is our [Myzah] BlueEvent Gift - Fishnet Dress and Thong, pretty much living up to the name in flirty fashion. The sheer dress is dotted with small hearts, and both dress and solid black panties are included in sizing for Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, and Reborn mesh bodies. Please don't ask me to lower my arms just yet though, or it'll be a peep show!

Intriguingly, the @rOrO Layla Jacket Pink & Teal gift has been designed to be a little looser fitting so that it can be layered over other clothing (like this dress). Isn't it such a captivating color combo? The animal print just might make you want to purr ;) There are Erika, Lara X, Legacy, Reborn, and Star mesh body sizes included, as well as an alpha layer that came in handy for my arms. Please note - the contents are No Copy so you will need to manually unpack (rez out at home or a sandbox, right click and open) to get all the goodies inside. We cannot copy items into our inventory without the permission to copy them, and that is technically what unpacking does, so it's a common SL issue since unpacking HUDs are so popular yet not everything they hold always has the right settings to be copied. No shade, no complaints, just want to ensure that you don't miss out :) Nobody deserves to open a folder and find just a landmark inside when they're expecting something this special in addition.

I seem to be having an anxious kind of weekend, which is not entirely unusual but not pleasant either. Dinner with my parents was nice, and my dad is doing pretty well after the procedure other than one day of tiredness and a bit of a sore throat from the intubation for anesthesia. Neither of those are unexpected or anything concerning, and his doctors are all top notch so that is a relief. Tomorrow morning is the farmers market, and that seems to be causing me to feel a little nervous since I was out of the habit of going for a while there. Also there's a snowstorm headed my way Sunday, so I am keeping a wary eye on the weather forecasts. That is the day of my next therapy session, lol, so I'm afraid I am going to babble about all of this ;) Oh fun, Material Girl just started playing, so I am surrounded by Madonna tonight apparently! I've got to take care of several things to prepare for the weekend, so I simply must wrap things up here. I hope you all have a fantastic weekend ahead, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

FabFree Gifties

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I visited several FabFree in SL participating designers, randomly selected from their group gift listing. I'd noticed they had done a lot of updating there lately, and it felt like a sign for me to check out some of the older ones :) The group is free to join, and the blog is a fantastic source of information, so the pairing is just *chef's kiss* perfection! I am such a fangirl when it comes to them, LOL, with no intentions of ever hiding that fact ♥. These are older gifts so I can't guarantee that they won't be swapped out soon for new ones, which simply means hurry and enjoy.

First I visited b[ELLE] to claim their adorable 2509 Glory Halter Romper. As a denim loving girlie, I am so excited to show this fun jumpsuit with its collared halter neck, deep V to show off cleavage, and buttons down the front. There are sizes for Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, and Reborn mesh bodies provided, all with flowers down each slender fitting pant leg. The distressed denim really is a great touch, a little lighter in all the right places.

We can find a really charming treat called Candy at the Nut & Squirrel store (formerly Telsiope's Couture) which you'll find by teleporting to the bargains area and walking up the stairs. Its top and skirt each come in Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Lara X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh body sizes. There is also a HUD for each, with 20 colors for the top or skirt (depending on which HUD of course) and 20 for the attached hearts. Many of the skirt colors have a sheer texture, so I'm going to suggest adding your favorite panties for modesty :) 

Next stop, [satus Inc] to grab their lovely Valeska Sweater & Scallop Mini Skirt Beige gift. Both pieces have a subtle texture that either makes me think leather or suede, flattering on such a soft color. They each fit Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies. It's one of those simply chic outfits that we can accessorize any way we wish, to dress it up or down.

I'm picking up good vibrations 🎵…yes, this outfit earwormed me ;) It is our GoodVibes HER GoodVibes Only Set, and there is a coordinated HIS look available as well. We start with the sparkly tunic top in sizing for Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, Waifu, and Star mesh bodies, then we get to add the BOM leotard upper and lower portions and a BOM pair of panties in river rock color. The "Good Vibes Only" saying on the front is basically my outlook on SL, trying to keep my time inworld positive and cheerful.

My final look of the night is from ART & FASHION on their big wall of various groups' gifts. It is the AMORE OUTFIT, and inside you'll find the long gown and strappy boots each in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh body sizes. The right side of our gown is daringly open, and the front is embellished with a beautiful flower on the skirt beneath the image of two faces about to kiss. There's a hand beneath them, as one gently cups the other's chin, and the grey on black gives a smoky, romantic feeling. Since we can only see part of the faces, they could be literally anyone of any age, ethnicity or gender, so that adds a little mystery as well.

It has been a whirlwind here...yesterday I was out for a good chunk of the day, and it went decently but the way home was entirely spent on the phone with my parents discussing the following day (today). My dad had his cardiac ablation procedure done this morning in hopes of treating the a-fib, and fortunately it went very well. The hospital he went to specializes in cardiology, and the surgeon is highly trained and respected. My dad was feeling fine when we spoke this evening, not even the soreness they said to expect, so that is a huge relief ♥. It probably wouldn't surprise anyone that I was nervous, since being anxious is pretty much my middle name, lol, but I am deeply grateful for the folks who took such good care of my dad and for everyone who offered any of us emotional support or a sympathetic ear. Tomorrow is my usual phone call and gaming night with friends, which I really need :) I hope you're all having a beautiful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Hints & Hunts Gifts

 Hiya everyone! Tonight's post is a look at several group gifts for the Hints & Hunts group, for their XOXO hunt which runs until the 20th of February. The hunt prizes are $10L - $25L and hiding in gold hearts with pink bows around them, while the group gifts I'm sharing are found in white square boxes with hot pink ribbons atop them. These are free and the group is also free to join :) You'll find links and pictures of the gifts and hunt keys on the website. They aren't all strictly Valentine themed, but many are at least a nod to this time of year. I know some people despise the holiday, others can't get enough of it, and then there's me in the middle who leans towards liking but not obsessed with it. I'm also a "whatever floats your boat" kind of person, so I respect all opinions on the subject and try to advise you what to expect anywhere I bring you this time of year. All I want is for people to be kind to each other no matter what the calendar says :)

We start out looking sexy in our .::DS::. XoXo 2026 Hunt Gift from Dark Salvation. This group goodie consists of the flirty dress and matching shoes in sizes for Lara X, Legacy, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. The rear view is what I affectionately call peek-a-booty, meaning you'll see plenty of bum cleavage, and the dress itself is on the sheer side so your valentine or random hot date will certainly want to keep you close :)

As I often try to do, I paired two gifts here for one sassy look. The YUEBIN - XOXO Hunt GIFT is a playful top named Betula, and comes in male and female avatar body sizing - Belleza Jake, Lara X, Petite X, Legacy F, Legacy M, Perky, Reborn, V-Tech, and Waifu. It is cropped and has straps hanging down the front as well as pink ones on the sleeves. Wouldn't this be great to show off a back tattoo? It looks cute with our Metallic Jeans by LAP (Blue&Pink) group gift, baggy cuffed jeans with a low rise and a built in belt and lots of studs on the left front leg. There are original and PBR versions each in Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, and Reborn mesh body sizes. Both of these separates will look amazing with loads of items already in your inventory, I'm sure, so make fashion fun and make it yours by wearing them however suits you. 

I also grabbed the Nut & Squirrel Kathy group gift, which is a starry swimsuit and fluttery skirt to layer atop it :) These are each provided in sizing for Erika, Kupra, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. To make it even more special, we've got HUDs to customize things...the suit and skirt HUD each offer 20 solid colors and 20 patterns, then the metals HUD has 3 tones for the hoop in the front of the skirt's waistband. Once you get to a mature rated beach, you can slide out of the skirt and soak up the sun in your strappy swimsuit.

Next we see the sporty -MicRo- Hunt Gift. It immediately caught my eye as being terrific for any time of year and not overly girlie or cutesy. My first thought was something fun to explore anywhere in SL with friends or a romantic partner, as you could even hike a mountain trail if you add some boots or sneakers :) The tank top and shorts will each fit Lara X, Petite X, Legacy, Perky, Reborn, and Juicy mesh bodies. 

My final look should remind you that I love well polished nails, and I'm always eager to show off my newest SL finds with all of you :) The CHOU Touch of RainBow group gift does not seem to be the one pictured on their website, but I adore this set and am not the least disappointed by that. There are two versions enclosed, touch of rainbow and BOuns Of touch, with the second one being the one in the center/lower part of my image above. They are animated so they knocked my socks off! Both sets of mesh nails are provided in Belleza Old, Belleza Classic, Belleza Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, and Reborn mesh body sizes. I was always that kid who loved rainbows in any form, so they'd have a special place in my heart even without the Pride association adding an extra smile. 

Quick hair note: this weekend's Saturday Sale offering from Truth Hair is a collab with Truth's RL daughter, which makes me very happy to see that his talent is shared by the next generation. Also to be fair it is simply a fantastic style that I would have bought no matter who he'd designed it with! There are hair clips included but not shown that have hearts with different sayings for each color you choose from the HUD, very Valentine candy themed and a great nod to the holiday.

The weekend felt both fast and slow at the same time, always mysterious when that happens but I will say it was an enjoyable one here :) Houseguest, birthday celebration, wonderful company and I stayed indoors most of the weekend to avoid the bitter cold. Even my therapy session this evening went well, and finished over an hour before The Big Game started ;) That is not my sport of choice, so I was only interested in the commercials and the halftime show, and Puppy Bowl of course ♥. My guest is on their way home right now, so there's that little pang of missing them already, but it is never a goodbye but see you later. I'm watching figure skating right now while I type this, but it's tricky to focus on both and I've got other things to do so the skating will get paused (tivo) shortly. There's just something so elegant and graceful yet powerful about the skaters that I admire. I hope you're all having a beautiful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
