Hiya everyone! Tonight we are visiting Revelation, where you can join their group for free and claim several $1L group gifts, or on the other side of the group gift wall you will find lucky boards with no group tag required. The gifts and prizes are high quality and I appreciate the value we can claim for such a small outlay, and it will inspire me to enjoy some shopping here from time to time when I am looking to purchase something new for my wardrobe. There are still days where no matter how many things I already have, it still feels special to have something that is new to me :)
My first look of the evening is a $1L group gift called Dale Set, although the top and skirt are linked together to wear as one. They come in Altamura, Eve Pulpy, Eve Slim, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizing, with a HUD offering 10 color choices. All of the pretty colors have the same floral pattern, and I think it looks terrific no matter which you select.
Next I paired two gifts, and I must say it is hard to imagine this entire outfit costing just $2L because it is worth so much more :) The top is our Ingrid Sweatshirt Gift, provided in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and Tonic Curvy mesh bodies, with a HUD offering 11 color choices which include solids and ombres. Because it is cropped, I thought it looked particularly cute with the Glaice Leggings gift and their capri length for a cool or breezy summer evening. They are provided in Altamura, eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP sizing, with a 6 color HUD.
Perhaps you are looking for something a little more flirty...who isn't sometimes? :) If so, I suggest picking up their group gift called Miriam Dress. The breezy white mini has a slightly asymmetric ruffle with colorful embroidered flowers, and a very short scalloped hemline. It is included in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP sizes.
Next I chose something even more sensual, the Priscila lingerie Gift. It is a single piece with the thong attached, and the lacy babydoll top is gathered by a playful belt with bold buckle. This gift is provided in Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizes, and the style really flatters every curve.
Our final look of the evening is a lucky board prize, so all you have to do is walk around to the other side of the wall of group gifts and see if your initial is on any of those boards. If so, give it a click and claim a great prize like this Betina Jumpsuit. It comes in Freya, Isis, Hourglass, and Maitreya sizing, with an impressive HUD that has 6 sets of 16 buttons, some solid colors and some pretty patterns. Each button textures a different section: top, bottom, bottom ruffles, and each of the 3 ruffles at the waist. On the left I chose a different solid color for each so you could see the distinction between them. For a more simple look, you can easily just choose the same button for all 6 to provide a uniform color or pattern.
It was another hot day here, but I definitely enjoyed my trip to the farmers market. My new mask wasn't dry yet (humidity) so I wore a disposable one, and their loose fit does make them comfortable for summer. I am not going anywhere tomorrow, so I am looking forward to relaxing :) I spent the evening listening to fireworks, although I could not see them from inside the house because we are surrounded by tall trees. I hope you're all having a wonderful weekend, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Hiya everyone! Tonight I have a selection of group gifts to share with you, starting with some fashions for the FabFree in SL group. The group is free to join, as you can probably guess from the name, and it is the in-world presence of the FabFree in SL blog which I have been avidly reading for many years. The website and the group both provide information about sales, gifts, events, and all sorts of special offers, while the group tag entitles you to gifts from an impressive number of designers across the grid. I also have a beautiful set of manicures from ~Mani Pedi~, which is a gift for their in-world group members and their subscribers. I really enjoy their nail polishes, and I hope you do too!
My first visit was to NUTS Inc, and it is quite a struggle not to make a pun about how I am nuts about their Calla Dress :) It is the ladies gift for FabFree (yes, that distinction means there is one for the men too) and is provided on a handy delivery HUD so you choose the body brand you wish delivered to you. There are buttons for Altamura, Belleza, eBody, Maitreya, Slink, and TMP, and clicking one will deliver versions for that particular brand plus a HUD with 6 color choices. The strapless style is very shapely, with a ruffle across the bodice and a bustle of denim in the rear.
:::Revelation::: also has a terrific gift for FabFree members, called Aila Outfits. Its top and skirt are each provided in Freya, Isis, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizing, with a HUD that offers 14 colors each for the top and its ruffle, then 11 textures each for the skirt's top, bottom, and lacing string. There are solid colors and patterns among the skirt choices, while the solid colors for the top match them beautifully. A quick tip to find this gift in the store: there are gifts in packages on a low platform in front of the wall with group signs on it, and this one is in the front row in a black package. If you click the wrong one, it will just tell you that you have the wrong group tag on, so not a big deal.
This flirty outfit is the FabFree gift from Alias! called Vintage Heart Solid. There is a dress and matching panties in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine sizing, with a HUD that lets you pick from 4 texture varieties for the skirt. The heels come in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique. Even the heart choker is provided, and you can adjust it if necessary.
Next we have the lovely [WellMade] Fab Dress, aptly named as the FabFree group gift. There is a HUD with 3 colors of the same floral pattern to choose from, and how fun is that lacing up the back? The dress is provided in sizing for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP mesh bodies.
It is time for a closer view of these sensational polishes from ~Mani Pedi~, their February 2020 group gift called Signature Shomei Polish. It includes appliers for Maitreya, Omega, and Slink, with 7 vibrant colors that are all taken from the store's original logo, as is their tradition with group gifts. They all have a pearlescent shimmer to them, and a metallic division between nail bed and paler tips. To claim these, you can either join their free store group, or sign up for their subscriber which will deliver you regular updates about their nail polishes and their L.S.D. clothing line. Fun fact, there are often matching nail polish sets available for their clothing releases so you can coordinate your look completely.
Changing plans makes my poor head spin, so it was an interesting day...I am still confused on what day of the week it is, but I know the next few days are going to be quite busy. As a matter of fact, I will be taking the evening off from blogging on Saturday, but tomorrow I should be able to post something for you :) It is hard to believe that February is almost over already, and we're almost to Leap Day. Time sure does fly lately, doesn't it? I hope you're all having a beautiful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Hiya everyone! Tonight I have several group gifts to share for the TeleportHub.com group, which has a $10L fee to join to keep out spammers and scammers. With your group tag, you can claim gifts all over the grid, wherever you see the distinctive framed sign with the gift's photo inside the frame and buttons to join and visit the website. I also feel that small join fees are meant to encourage us to stay in the group, rather than joining just to collect gifts and then leave. That is understandable too, it's easier to keep track of how many people are in a group when the number stays consistent.
First I visited Revelation, where we head to the room with group gifts to the left of the landing area. The TeleportHub gift is on the wall, just look for the sign and click the image of this beautiful Sharmilla Dress. It comes in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique, with a 12 color HUD to let you choose what shade you are in the mood to wear at any given moment. So versatile, and I love the crossed straps and the lace inset on the top.
KingbalStores is offering this flirty outfit called KS OUTFIT MASIA LEATHER DRESS RED as their current TeleportHub group gift. The dress comes in standard mesh sizes plus Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP versions, while the boots are provided in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique. The matching silvery hardware on both pieces really ties the look together wonderfully. This is a materials enabled outfit, as you can see from the light reflected in a few places.
Okay, so it's the weekend and you just got invited to a last minute outing, or you already had plans but forgot to go through your wardrobe to find just the right look...what do you do? Slap on that TeleportHub group tag and visit Nala Designs, where you can claim their ND Lotta Cocktail Dress for free. It includes a color HUD with 5 options, and the dress itself is provided in standard mesh sizes as well as Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Ocacin, Hourglass, Physique, and Voluptuous versions.
I was doubly excited when I visited the Masoom store, since they have two TeleportHub gifts available right now :) This one is called Adiba Dress Plum, and is provided in a single Maitreya size. The deep color is so inviting, as are the cutouts in the front and back.
The other gift you will find here is the [[ Masoom ]] Elisya Dress TeleportHub, an intriguing combination of a corset-like style with bold lace as the skirt. It comes in Freya, Isis, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique versions. I believe the Masoom's store group is currently free to join for a brief time, so you might wish to take advantage of that while you visit.
An unexpected snowstorm canceled my dinner plans, so it was an even quieter day than I had anticipated. That isn't necessarily a bad thing, although I was looking forward to dinner with my parents. I'll probably run into them tomorrow at the market though. I hope you all have something fun planned for the weekend and are enjoying your evening, magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Hiya everyone! Tonight I am still on a group gift kick, because it's a fun opportunity to visit various stores to see what's new there, and we get a treat for stopping by. The FabFree group is the inworld companion to the Fabulous Free in SL blog, of which I have been a longtime fan as I've mentioned here plenty of times :) Their group is free to join, and there are so many generous designers who offer gifts for this group that it is absolutely worth a precious group slot. The blog will keep you informed about sales and special offers along with events taking place in SL. There is a page on the website that shows you all the current group gifts, very handy!
My first stop was De'Fient Unicorn, where I claimed this flashy mini called *DU*Cindy's Holiday Dress. It includes a classic version as well as eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique versions. The sheer black top is very flattering against the sparkly bodice, isn't it?
Revelation is offering this thoughtful gift to all FabFree members, called Juh Dress in 12 colors. It is provided in sizes for Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh bodies, with a HUD that offers a dozen options including a handful of prints like the one on the right. To find this gift, you'll need to head to the group gift room (I think it was to the right) and look on the floor in front of the group signs, there are packages on the floor and ours is the on the front row, right side. If you click the wrong one don't worry, it'll just tell you that you're wearing the wrong group tag. I think this dress is short enough to make a great tunic style top, so feel free to layer it over your favorite jeans/leggings too.
This cozy look comes from Sevyn East and is their January Dress. It includes Freya, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine sizes, with a HUD offering 4 color choices. This is another style that might look good with pants layered beneath, as I'm imagining jeans to complement the rich knit texture.
I am a fervent advocate/ally of the LGBT+ community, so this gift from La Bella Boutique makes me beam with happiness. It is called {LBB} Diversity Love - Female, and consists of the top and shorts each in standard, eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine sizes. There is also a HUD for each, 11 colors for the shorts and 11 colors for the shirt with an additional treat for the shirt: 6 designs to apply on top of the shirt colors, all positive ideas like the Love is Love on the left or the adorable narwhal "It's okay to be different" I'm wearing on the right. You can also choose to have no design and just wear the shirt as a plain solid color.
My final look of the evening will have you looking for someplace to visit that has an ice skating rink, so you can take full advantage of this NUTS Inc. gift called Marrit Skate Outfit. The sweater and leggings each come in standard mesh sizes plus Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique versions, while the matching ice skates are unrigged and have animations built in. This means you can turn off your AO and walk to see a skating motion instead, very fun! The unrigged aspect lets you adjust them as needed, I just hid my Slink feet to make these look just right.
It has been a busy and tiring weekend, but I am happy to be blogging tonight :) Next weekend will be even busier, so I will probably be taking another day off then too. I will have company and be celebrating my birthday a bit early, so it's all positive things keeping me so occupied. Meanwhile I hope you're all having a terrific day/evening and a good week ahead, with lots of magical magpie hugs for everyone!!

Hiya everyone! Tonight I have some group gifts to share, for the FabFree group which is short for Fabulously Free in SL. They are not only an inworld group filled with information on bargains and gifts galore, but they are a blog that I have relied upon for guidance since my earliest days in SL, back when I was still learning to adjust prim skirts because mesh wasn't an option yet. They kept me from being an utter fashion don't, and to dress in a way that suited me while being affordable. The group is free to join, and there are many participating designers who offer group gifts to any visitor with their tag active. I will also be showing you a really fun outfit from Entice at Rewind Y2K, a time in fashion I remember with fondness and amusement. There were bold colors and adventurous styles, and I think the Entice offering embraces those ideas very well.
This first gift for the FabFree group is from the YM SHOP, and is called Althea Split Dress. It is provided in what I call the lucky 13 of mesh sizes (5 standard, 5 fitmesh, Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink) with a HUD that offers 12 different colors for the dress. When you arrive at the store, you don't even need to enter to locate this dress...look to the right, the outside front wall, and you will see the rainbow striped FabFree sign with 2 gifts beneath it.
I did mention two gifts, well the other generous FabFree treat from YM SHOP is this Dandy Outfit, with all those components combined into one easy-to-wear piece in fitmesh standard sizes plus Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink versions. There is also a texture HUD with this gift as well, 8 buttons to explore and see what playful color combos they display.
I combined two different gifts for this look, but feel free to pair them each with your favorite wardrobe staples. The top is from [satus Inc.] called Rye Tied Straight Top Pink, and comes in sizes for Belleza Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, and fitmesh standard versions. The skirt is the Brit Skirt from Revelation, a high waisted mini with lacing up the front and a gently fluttery style that looks beautiful in all of the 18 textures on the included HUD. That handy HUD also offers 6 colors for the laces in the front, so lots of variety here. The skirt itself is provided in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine versions. To find this gift in the store, look on the other side of the wall behind the front desk and you'll see several different group signs, then beneath there are some packages. The pink one on the far left is the FabFree gift, and should be the only one to distribute a gift when clicked while wearing the correct group tag. I hope that explanation makes sense, it just wasn't labeled and I am hoping to be helpful :)
Our FabFree gift from Tiar called Noa, is delightful for spring with its soft coloring and delicate texture, not to mention the long sleeves with slits to reveal glimpses of our arms. The gift comes in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP, and I'm giving directions again to find a gift...hehe...when you land, the main store is the building to your west (this is why my mini map is always open, just in case) so head west and go inside, through several open doorways to the back wall. You will see the FabFree group sign back there along with the gift to click and claim.
Head to the Rewind Y2K event and you can pick up these fantastic offers from Entice. My top is the Entice - Good Vibrations Top - Fatpack and is $450L for 10 gorgeous colors or $150L for your choice of 8 individual shades. There are 2 in the fatpack that are exclusives to it alone. Sizes include Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique. The tops can be mixed and matched perfectly with the Good Vibrations Leggings & Boots, available at Rewind as a fatpack for $450L. There are 10 textures for the leggings and 10 matching colors for the boots on the included HUD. The leggings/boots combo comes in the same mesh sizes as the top. Those textures really drew me to them, and the vivid colors of the top and boots complement the prints so well. The Rewind event is open until the 5th of March, so you have a few days left to stop by and enjoy. As usual, the Entice mainstore link is in my right sidebar, and the event link is in my ending credits.
Hair note of the night- Truth Hair has a new release at their mainstore, much sooner than expected after technical difficulties that prevented him from being able to offer it at this round of Uber. But don't worry, he is actually offering it at his mainstore for the discounted event price for a limited time :) As I am sure you guessed, it is the hair I'm wearing tonight, and its name is Polly. She comes with a Stylist HUD so you can flip the hair from the pony to either side or both sides, and have hair in the back or all off to the side, with a few different options for the bangs as well. My suggestion is to grab the demo and play with that HUD to see all the ways it can be styled. I did so and obviously could not resist picking up my favorite Redhead color set.
Not a great day here, a scheduling snafu meant that my dentist could not take care of my little cavities today so I just had a cleaning and will have to go back in almost 2 weeks for the main event. I get to worry the entire time until then, yay! That would be the anxiety talking of course. I'll be okay, just need to focus on other things in the meantime. SL provides a great distraction, especially when the new month brings new hunts and events. I hope you're all having a better day/evening, magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
