Petite Mort and Oubliette

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I would like to share several group gifts with you, all from two stores by the same talented designer. They are Petite Mort and Oubliette, which share a group (free to join) and we can reach both of them from the same landing point. Just follow the signs to whichever one you wish to visit, and a pretty path will bring you to the correct building. To visit the other, you can follow the path back to the courtyard and head through the other store's archway and wander up to your destination. There are also 4 lucky boards at each store that you can access with that same free group tag active. One store leans towards the dark, Goth side of things, while the other has a bit more Bohemian of a flavor, and I generally lean boho but truly enjoy both store's styles.

For my first look, I am sporting one gift from each store that comprise a delightfully spooky set :) The outfit on the left is the Oubliette - Halloween Jammies Set, and the Petite Mort gift of the same name is to the right. You will need to visit both stores to get the pair, but using the same group tag makes it simple. Each set includes the tied camisole and pajamas pants in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizing, with a pumpkin candy bucket in each gift to hold. 

Continuing with the Halloween type theme, I changed into the Oubliette - Witch Boob Tube which is one of their many group gifts. It is provided in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique bodies, and goes really well with their Oubliette - Muertos Skirt group gift. This treat has sugar skulls on its ruffled layers, and comes in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP sizing. You can certainly pair either of these with whatever makes you happy of course. 

I kept the skirt on but changed into another seasonal gift, one for autumn rather than Halloween. It is the Petite Mort - Novelty T-neck Group Gift, consisting of Foxy and Owl versions each in sizing for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique bodies. Both designs warmed my heart, and speaking of warmth I think they would also look terrific with jeans or a long maxi dress. The cropped style will keep you from feeling overly covered up ;)

Extra chilly weather will be here before we know it, so wrap yourself in the Petite Mort - Novelty Winter Sweater if you visit a cold climate. It has more cute critters (I see owls and are those hedgehogs among the hearts up top?) in its intricate knit pattern, and comes in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP sizes. I wore it with the blue pair of Delizio jeans from their free marketplace fatpack, which includes several other shades in system/BOM layers plus appliers for Maitreya and Omega.

For my final look this evening, I bring you into yet another season with the Petite Mort - March Group Gift Spring Dress. This charming strapless dress has a fun zigzag hemline with open weave lace trim, and is versatile thanks to a 4 color HUD. The dress itself comes in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP mesh bodies. I would say the soft pastel color options are a perfect nod to spring, while the hem reminds me of flower petals which I also associate with that time of year.

My day was rather stressful thanks to not feeling well and having to go to an appointment, so my anxiety kicked in heavily. Unfortunately that meant taking a bit of medication that made me really tired by the time I got home so I had a 3 hour nap. I am still feeling drowsy, but I know tomorrow I will feel more alert and probably calmer. I hope you're all having a lovely day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Trick or Treat Lane

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I have some treats to show you, quite literally, thanks to the Trick or Treat Lane event. This is the 5th round of the annual tradition, and every participating designer is offering an exclusive sales item as well as a trick or treat gift. Some are treats and located in the bag out front of their display, others are tricks where the bag is hidden somewhere within their booth. It was great fun to visit, and I am always impressed by the way the region is decorated for the spooky season. Many designers have other offers, some of which are discounted for the duration of the event, which is open until November 1st so you have ample time to explore and visit as many times as you wish.

My first look of the evening is the striking gift from Senzafine called Evanora - ToTL Haunted. It comes in sizes for eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine bodies. The blending of blue into purple then black is perfect for the night sky, and the bats are a lovely seasonal touch. The high-low hem and flared sleeves also serve to flatter our curves. 

1313 Mockingbird Lane is ready for Halloween with their Burtonesque Jacket/Skirt, a gorgeous combo in black and white with golden trim. Each piece is rigged to fit the Maitreya body, and can be worn together or separately as you will see in the next couple of photos. There is also a HUD included to show/hide the panties that are built into the skirt. I decided the neckline deserved to frame more than just cleavage, LOL, so I added the charming Arachnes Necklace w/Resize gift from Oubliette. It has a family of gemstone spiders crawling around the silvery web, and you can just give it a click if you wish to access the resize scripting.

I kept the 1313 skirt on here but switched tops to the gift from JR Wolf Creations. Their Hallows T Shirt is decorated in several different occult symbols, all in a silvery tone that looks terrific against the black backdrop of the shirt. It is provided in sizing for Alice, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Maitreya Petite, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine bodies. To add a touch of color, I went with the treat from CELESTE which is their Spiked Hoop Earrings, although I did it a little differently than one might expect ;) The gift includes a purple pair and a green pair, so I wore one of each to allow you to see both pretty hues. 

The 1313 skirt got a little more use, as I wore it again here with the zOOm - Hunted Sweater. Their gift includes Freya, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizes, with cropped hem and extra long sleeves to balance against the cowl neck. The contrasting textures coordinate quite nicely, and do have a seasonal feel that I appreciate. I also am appreciating the tasty treat from Petrichor, their :[P]:- Geobeat Cookie [Halloweenies] seen in my left hand. It has a built in hold pose as shown, and the lines of icing remind me of wireframe. The heart shape looks so pretty with the ombre of orange to purple icing, on a dark chocolate cookie.

For my final look tonight I started with the gorgeous gift from Viki called Faith. It features one of my favorite color combinations, purple and black, and has a rich, beautifully embroidered texture. It comes in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizing to fit a wide range of bodies. With the bare shoulders and low neckline, I decided it deserved to show off the equally pretty CHIMAERA - Valentine collar - Rainbow Noir. So many dazzling colors in the heart pendant, I think you will find it goes well with nearly anything you wear it with. I was also intrigued by the gift from Secret Oktober, which is the *SO* Skulls n' Roses Mask I am wearing. It has a resize script built in, so you can adjust it to fit your face just right. I also couldn't resist sharing a closer view of the nails I have been enjoying in all of these images, the treat from DP Koffin Nails called FatPack - Pentacle Moon. There are 6 designs, 3 colors each with a mirrored version, and the fatpack means you get Maitreya, Omega, and Slink appliers. Each has fingers and toes compatibility, so you could apply one design to your fingers and a different choice for your feet. 

Not much to share about my day, as it was fairly quiet other than an update on my grandmother. She was admitted for observation and should be released tomorrow, and it sounds like she is doing pretty well. She had high blood pressure before, and anything heart related is going to be a concern for a stroke survivor I guess, but things sound like they are under control. My guess is that a medication needed to be added or adjusted, and all the testing will point them in the proper direction. She is impressively tough, as we have always known :) I do hope you are all having a fantastic day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Women Only Hunting

Hiya everyone! Tonight I have a few more treats from the Women Only Hunt 5 to share, and you have until the 18th to find all the hidden coconuts so please hurry :) The locations and hints are on the website so it's helpful to have it open to refer to during your hunting. There are clothing prizes galore, but you can also find jewelry, tattoos, and plenty of other terrific selections that you just need to find each coconut half and give it a click to claim for free.

First we have a sexy bikini that is helping me show off some lovely body art on my back, and both are hunt prizes. The coconut at Maddict holds this WOH Hunt Gift bikini, top and bottom each in sizes for Freya, Isis, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique, all with a pastel chevron pattern accented by flowers and pink ties. Inside the coconut at TAOX TaTToo you will find their Back Corset Flight Of Birds VG tattoo for mesh bodies. It includes appliers for Belleza, Maitreya, Omega, Slink, Signature, and TMP, and the creative design really appeals to the bird lover in me.

[YumZ] is offering an exclusive hunt prize, their Kimi Top&Shorts seen here. Each piece comes in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique, in a range of colors. The top is included in black, brown, grey (left), and olive (right), while the shorts come in versions 1 and 2, seen on the left and right respectively. 

Two more terrific prizes to see here, starting with the top which is from ~Nerido~ and named Liberty Top (Maitreya) Qtee Melon. As you can guess from the name, it comes in a single Maitreya size, and has smiling melons on each bra cup and green stripes like a watermelon's skin. The shorts I'm wearing with it are our prize from [Have Unequal], their Mary Shorts Black&Red Maitreya. It includes a HUD with 12 color choices for the flowers on the back pockets, so you can get playful with those.

This fun look incorporates the shorts from the previous photo and the prize from Oubliette called Tacos & Tequila Bandeau Loose Tank. It is provided in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique, and the bandeau is built into the tank so it's a single mesh piece for easy wearing. 

For my final look of the night, I'm wrapping things up with a bold set of mesh nails from SLACKGIRL. They are SG Amor Bento Mesh Nails, and come in sizes for Slink, Belleza, EVE, Altamura, Maitreya, Tonic, Tuty, and Vista, with a HUD that offers 8 different colors to choose from. They are easy to wear, just hide the built in nails for your hands (it should be on the HUD that came with the hands) and add the mesh nails that match your brand. 

I am back to blogging after a whirlwind weekend full of activities. I think I got a little too much sun earlier, or the heat got to me a bit, however I am glad to be feeling better so I can share this post even if it is later than usual. My houseguest is on their way home now, and a piece of my heart goes with them as always. I hope you all had a wonderful weekend, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Summertime with WOH3

Hiya everyone! The Women Only Hunt 3 is certainly living up to its Summertime theme with a wide variety of generous prizes, and I am happy to show you a few more this evening. As I've mentioned the past few posts, you will need to head to the hunt office to grab your free HUD which is the one and only source of all LM's to navigate the hunt path, and the hints for each hidden coconut half are on the HUD as well as on their website. There are 79 stores with just two skips, so it is an impressive sized hunt and as you can see, the prizes are well worth the journey. Some stores have been new to me while others are fondly familiar, so I appreciate this hunt very much and have at least a day or two remaining of picking up all these terrific prizes.

My first look of the evening is this outfit from .epoch. that consists of the beach please top and millenial shorts, each in Hourglass, Physique, and Maitreya sizes. The "beach please" saying makes me giggle, since it could be taken completely innocently as a request to visit the shore, or a more sassy interpretation. This color is a subtle favorite of mine, a timeless classic that is not overly bright or sweet.

Maybe you are craving the beach, but want to make a different sort of impression, a darker one...find the hidden coconut half from Oubliette and you can claim their Skelli Vava Swim Set. It starts with the swimsuit itself in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizes, and includes the Onyx Lennon Round Specs I am wearing here as well. Also included but not shown (because updos and hats do not play well together) is a black straw floppy hat. 

This playful dress is our gift from Nerido for finding their hidden coconut, their Millie Dress which includes two sizes: Maitreya and Belleza Isis. The fruity pattern is a fun one, and I really like the cheery colors for summer. I paired it with our prize from Essenz called Cuba WOH Gift, which includes sizes for Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink. Also included is a HUD with 3 color choices (two shown above) and 4 labeled options which seem to be two sole colors and two metals. The yellowy gold looks terrific with the Nerido dress because of how well it matches the belt, but these beauties will add a spark to any outfit.

One last look for the evening, I feel like a modern Marilyn Monroe in this gorgeous dress from Petite Mort. Their White Serene Lace Dress comes in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP, so flattering with the sheer lace layer atop the skirt and that deep V in the back. The white color really shows off my tan, too! Speaking of which, my skin is actually one of the hunt prizes, the lovely FEMMA from 7 Deadly s[K]ins. The prize includes an Omega applier for both head and body along with a shape. These are based on the AK Valerie mesh head, but as you can see it looks just as pretty on my GA.EG Barbara bento head. The sexy flicks of eyeliner and bright glossy red lips certainly caught my eye and contributed to my "Marilyn" vibe here especially, and there are a few beauty marks scattered on the face that I find give it a natural look. The skintone is called pineapple, and is a little darker than my usual inclination but also suits the summer weather quite well :) Also noteworthy, I love that the eyebrows are defined and well groomed but not overly dark, as some brows can really overwhelm my petite Barbara face and the dark blackish brows do not look quite right with my preferred light auburn hair color. All a matter of personal preference of course, and I am grateful for Omega compatibility since there are so many popular brands out there that it can work for.

Today I had my third acupuncture visit, and it is going well so far...it is not uncomfortable, I just relax and take nice deep breaths while the needles are in place, and it is a soothing place to be. Tomorrow's plans have changed once again, since nobody in my family is interested in being forced onto a shuttle bus with the drunk brewery patrons instead of being allowed to park where we have every week for over 4 years to spend scary amounts of money, so we will be going to a different market this week :) I hope all of you have something wonderful planned for your weekend, magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
