Hiya everyone! Tonight we start our weekend at the Sun-Sational Summer Cart Sale on The Wash sim, one of my favorite seasonal events where we can find bargains of $50L or less from dozens of talented creators. The streets are lined with carts, packed with fashions for the whole family and home decor among the genres so you can freshen your wardrobe and living space without breaking the bank. I also have some more Stay at Home Club goodies to share, since these fine designers are still offering gifts to cheer up those of us who are mostly isolated in RL for safety. Their kindness is one of the things I will take away as a positive among the troubles, the silver lining we all deserve to find. Honestly the regular events like the Wash cart sale help too, consistency in an inconsistent world I guess, but I do feel a sense of comfort from the SL events that are still reliably there.
My first look features one of the wonderful choices from the Dreamz cart at The Wash, their DCI Arrlina with HUD. This dress has a unique and flattering style with the crossed straps in the back and the X in the front that reveals small sheer panels on each side of the waist, and a short fluttery skirt. It comes in sizes for Freya, Hourglass, Legacy, and Maitreya bodies, with an impressive HUD to choose from 35 textures (25 solids, 10 patterns). This treat is just $25L, and there are several others with HUDs and various sizing for you to enjoy. The link to their cart is in my ending credits, and you can find more Dreamz creations on the marketplace linked here.
Shae's Designs has several offerings to tempt you, like this flirty Alea Top & Skirt set in 10 different colors, just $25L apiece. I am wearing #2 on the left and 7 on the right, randomly chosen so you could see a glimpse of the variety. These are included in eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine sizes. To visit their mainstore please click here, and your limo directly to their cart is in my ending credits as usual.
While you are at The Wash sim for the cart sale, you can also visit CatsClaw Designs mainstore for a special treat. Staying at home in RL does not mean we have to stay home in SL of course, but we want to look good when we go out on the town, so be sure to pick up the CCD No Mercy Outfit Hot Pink seen here. This is one of 4 Stay at Home Club gifts currently available, no group tag needed so you can just click them to receive these wonderful goodies. The jacket, top add on, and skirt each come in sizes for standard M, Belleza Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique. The top is meant to be layered beneath rather then worn separately, so it is detached sleeves with bare upper arms. You could easily layer anything you wish beneath instead, or wear the jacket alone if you are feeling particularly bold ;)
I'm sure I have mentioned before how much I appreciate it when a dress or outfit comes with matching footwear, making me especially grateful for this Stay at Home gift from *It's Gau*. Their playful Janiss Black gift includes both the dress and above-the-knee boots, each sized for Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies. The details really appeal to me here, like the distressed spots on both the dress and the boots, and the various cutouts making the boots look like they are crafted with straps on the sides.
For my final look of the evening, I have paired the two Stay at Home Club gifts from PopCorn which come together to create one very eye-catching outfit. Their Mel Top - Blue Skull and Mel Skirt - Blue Skull are each provided in versions with or without materials enabled, sized for Alice, Freya, Hourglass, and Maitreya mesh bodies. The skull pattern is subtle at first glance, being shades of the same color, and the black strips and waistband accentuate things nicely.
I hope you all have a fantastic weekend ahead, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Hiya everyone! Tonight we continue Down The Rabbit Hole, at the event of that name by Evil Bunny Productions. It is the place to be if you enjoy Alice in Wonderland, and/or discounted items from talented designers :) There are also lots of free group gifts for all members of the Evil Bunny Hunt group, so pop on that "I'm Evil!" group tag and click some gift bags while you visit. The selections are impressive and enchanting, showing each designer's personal interpretations and favorite aspects of the well-loved story. Many but not all of the gifts match the theme, so I am hoping that my sharing glimpses will help encourage you to visit and see what catches your eye in particular.
My first look of the evening is the Indigenous group gift called Mad Tea Party Dress. It comes in sizes for Freya, Isis, Hourglass, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh bodies, and has a clever pattern of mugs (tea cups?) with the symbols of card suits on them. The style is a fun one, with the laced up back and fluttery skirt.
I must admit, I let out a soft gasp when I saw this gorgeous gift! Dore Papillon Boutique is offering their ::DPB:: Fern Lilysprite Outfit - Rainbow 1 as a group gift for the Evil Bunny group, for which I am very grateful. The top and skirt are each provided in Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizing, and are both adorned with drapes of iridescent fabric as well as pretty flowers with greenery.
Two treats to see here, so let's start with the cropped top which is the gift from ZFG called ALICE KARMA. The image on the front reads "KARMA" (yes I know the R got buried in my cleavage, lol, sorry about that) with arrows above and below that make me think of what comes around goes around. The gift includes Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizes. As for my pants, those would be the versatile [Ari-Pari] Striped Velvet Leggings - DTRH which you can also claim for free with that group tag active. They come in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique bodies, with a 10 color HUD so you can change up the look with just a click. You will see these in the next couple of images too, since these leggings go well with so many different tops' colors and styles.
This gift from PopCorn certainly offers a nod to the event's theme, as it reads Down The Rabbit Hole on the front :) The shirt is called Mel Top - DTRH Gift, and comes in sizes for Alice, Freya, Hourglass, and Maitreya mesh bodies. There is also a HUD included to turn materials on or off, a choice that will depend on your viewer settings and probably if you are wearing it somewhere it can pick up the ambient lighting.
One more look this evening, I changed the [Ari-Pari] leggings to red to go with the wonderful themed gift from JR Wolf Creations. Their gift is called Card Tank, and has a red layer beneath the black which is imprinted with the drawing of the playing cards painting roses. It is provided in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine sizing.
It was a fairly nice day here, warm and moderately busy but things went smoothly. My neck is starting to feel a bit better from more regular chiropractic visits, and that should help the headaches become less frequent. Anyone with chronic pain of any sort can understand what a relief it is to have it reduced at all, I'm sure. So I'll be back there in 3 weeks, better than the few months I missed, and meanwhile I have plenty of happy things to focus on like the Wash Cart Sale starting soon :) I hope you're all having a lovely day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
