Hiya everyone! Tonight I am showing you a few of the many gifts set out at The Epiphany by some of the vendors there, to help celebrate the event's birthday. The landing spot is in the upper tier, be sure to wander down a flight of stairs to explore the outer ring of displays as well and you'll see the gold boxes wrapped in pretty ribbons, set for sale for $0L. Here are some glimpses of the terrific gifts you can find.
Cynful has a great Poolside Bikini as their gift, in metallic purple and a few sizes for various mesh bodies: Belleza Freya, Isis, and Venus, Maitreya Lara, Slink Hourglass and Physique. If you don't have a mesh body, it is still worth trying the various sizes to see if one works with your particular shape. You may have noticed the cool treat in my mouth, well that is another Epiphany birthday gift courtesy of Dichotomy. Their fun Ice POP comes with a HUD for 5 color (flavor?) choices, my avi seemed to enjoy them all.
If you are thirsty rather than hungry, perhaps you should pick up this adorable gift from Glucose Girl! They are labeled for being on your arm or mouth, and I am showing you both...they each have floating clusters of tiny hearts on the straws, and they are so cute worn together or separately.
I left the bikini bottoms on to show you this great gift from RealEvil Industries, their **RE** Sonia Top. This summery beauty comes in Hourglass, Maitreya, and Physique mesh sizes only so as with the other mesh gifts I will suggest trying them all to see if one suits your shape if you do not have a corresponding mesh body. The eye-catching bracelets I am wearing are from MINIMAL, their Barrow Bracelets in PinkGold. The gift includes the left and right, wear both or either for the look you desire. I have always enjoyed rose gold, like in Black Hills gold with the yellow, white, and rose all designed together, so I plan on making use of this gift quite a bit.

One last look for tonight, I kept those same bikini bottoms on and changed into this Harlow Silk Bandeau from Valentina E. which is provided in small, medium, Hourglass, Physique, and Maitreya mesh sizes. I actually found that the hourglass fit me better than the physique, my boobs were trying to escape all the other sizes >.< so like I've said before, try all the sizes if the one you expect to work best, doesn't. I have some more beautiful bracelets to show you too, here I am wearing both Daisy bracelets from the gift by Astralia. They include a HUD with 2 metal choices and 5 colors for each layer of petals, see on the inset where the petals beneath go from red to blue? They are petal 2. Petal 1 is the purple -> pink top layer. The dainty heart in the center stays the same, looking precious with all the various color combinations.
I hope you're all having a wonderful day/evening, magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Hiya everyone! It was a stormy Monday here and I figured a nice exploration of the Marketplace was in order, and then I thought about what I wanted to find...it crossed my mind that I haven't shown you much jewelry from there, and nearly every outfit can benefit from a touch of sparkle. It is like the icing on the cake, the cherry on top of a sundae, oh geez now I sound hungry ;) Sometimes two people can wear the same exact clothing but accessorize it so differently that it changes the whole mood or style of the outfit, so finding jewelry you like is key. Fortunately there are some amazing free gifts to find on the marketplace, all from the comfort of your avi's home.

First we have a great set that is popular for a reason (65 positive reviews on the marketplace, all 5 stars!) from RealEvil Industries called **RE** LUX Celeste. It includes the earrings and necklace shown, and if you touch for a menu you can change colors for Metal 1 and Metal 2. On the earrings that's the inner and outer parts, on the necklace it is the shorter chain or the longer chain. The pretty turquoise beads and pendant stay the same. I had a lot of fun experimenting with metals like blue and gold and black.

Kukuvaya has several gifts on the marketplace for us, two of which I am pleased to show you here. This is their Rose Eternalle Necklaces and the Rose Eternalle Earrings, which each include 10 colors so you can match just about anything in your wardrobe. The necklaces come in a regular style and a V style (as seen on the right) in each color, and I am wearing Lavender on the left and Olive on the right. The earrings in the center are Backlit Monochrome, Cherry, and Sky. The other shades found in each are Avacado, Blood, Lit Monochrome, Ocean, and Plum. Both gifts are completely free, so useful and generous.

There is something so beautiful about amber, that rich honey tone and equally rich history. If you are a fan too, head over to the marketplace and pick up this gorgeous gift from Kalina's Design called Silver & Amber. This gift includes the necklace, two pairs of earrings (I am wearing one from each pair which is why my earrings aren't an exact match to each other), two bracelets (the larger is shown in the inset, the smaller is a single chain instead of the 3) and not shown but included are two different styles of belly piercings. Plenty of great pieces to choose from, wear as many or as few as you wish with any look.

This jewelry set from Poison Jewels really touched my heart, as it is the Braille Bar Set - Dots of Love. They have spelled out the word "LOVE" in braille on the earrings and necklace, and I found myself picturing someone proudly wearing such jewelry and letting their visually impaired loved one feel it. They would be able to appreciate its beauty in meaning, even if they cannot see the beauty of the sleek silver bars themselves.

Here is a better look at the dress I have been wearing tonight, along with another fun necklace I found. The dress is the Dark Underground Gift May 2016, their Rose Strapless Mesh gown in what I think of as the lucky 13 of sizes: 5 classic, 5 fitmesh, Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink. The necklace is a gift from Bubblez Style, BB Forever Friends Necklace. It plays music which sounded like a music box, familiar but I couldn't place it and SoundHound couldn't identify it either, but it can be turned off with just a click. The little bear holding onto the half a heart is just too cute! Be sure to check their other marketplace offerings, as there are many gifts to be found there.
Whew, what a day! Even close to midnight it is still somehow chaos in my household, LOL, so I am still a bit frazzled. The storms are mostly gone I think (hope), but I did get caught out in one earlier and wound up drenched head to toe. I am happy to be safe and dry! I hope you all had a decent Monday, magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Hiya everyone! After a busy weekend and with SL acting a bit quirky, I figured it was a good day to browse the Marketplace for free treats to share. I definitely found plenty, so let's get to it, shall we?
I was feeling a bit saucy, so my first find suited that mood to a T, it's the Rose Vines Dress from Corvus. I love the design, with a great rear view along with looking terrific from the front. This comes in 5 sizes, and is absolutely free on the Marketplace.
If you like to have a wide variety of sizes available to you, this dress is a terrific find. This is *dafnis anastacia and comes in 5 classic sizes, 5 fitmesh, 5 busty, Belleza, Slink, Maitreya 1 and 2 versions. Those are some impressive options! I am showing you the medium sizes in classic and busty above, and am sure you can tell which is which ;) My avatar's general frame isn't particularly suited for the busty shape, but that will look amazing on the right avatar.

Here we have 2 great marketplace free gifts, starting with the beautiful dress and shoes. This is the EX Blush Dress - Pink Grey Snowflake Xmas Gift, and it comes in standard mesh sizes plus the shoes for Slink high feet. This style is a favorite of mine, and the snowflakes are a sweet touch. As for my jewelry, they are a versatile beauty of a gift from RealEvil Industries called Orbit Set. You will find both bracelets and the necklace, along with the HUD with 3 metal colors and 3 pearl colors. Another useful feature on the HUD is the full bright on/off, which I turned on for the photos and found it very helpful.

I am wrapping up the post with this dazzler from Dani's Designs, their Frosted dress with lots of additions included. This is a great gift for a new resident as it includes not only the shoes shown, but several things not shown here like a pair of blue eyes, French manicure gloves for the classic avatar hands, lip gloss and lashes tattoo layers, and even a facelight with HUD. I'd be tempted to share this link with any new residents I run into, because we all deserve to look pretty.
Nail note of the night: same nails as last night, the wonderful La Boheme hunt prize nails I'd blogged originally 2 days ago called LB Nirvana Silver, from the Newify Your Body Hunt. They go with everything and look stunning, so it was a no-brainer for an easy Monday :)
I spent a lot more time than intended limping around 5 stores (original plan was one store) so what I lack in energy right now, I still make up for in enthusiasm for wanting to create a fun post that gives you ideas and helps you find something pretty and affordable to wear. Sending magical magpie hugs out to all of you!!
