A Little More Twisted

Hiya everyone! I have more prizes to share from the Twisted Hunt, which ends on the 19th so it's wrapping up in less than a week...time to get moving if you want to take part :) It is certainly challenging, but really well worth it, especially when you can find great goodies like the ones I'm showing below.

Let's start with this playful lingerie by ~KRAKT~ who are #068 in the hunt. It includes system layers for top and beneath the skirt along with an Omega applier, and of course the skirt itself with its delightful bows. The womens outfit is called Yin, and the mens is called Yang, appropriately enough. I accessorized with the gorgeous Duality Pendant from TempT. If you love it as I do, head on over to #078 and find that cube!

You have seen me blog Rowena's Designs before (slight name change from Rowena Springflower) and know that I appreciate both the designs and the frequent use of HUDs to let us chance colors/textures, allowing for that versatility I admire so. Well this is their prize (#087) for the Twisted hunt, {RS} Qi Dress, and the HUD has 5 color options for the trim/decor. I showed 3 of the 5, the others being yellow and red, and I thought the dark grey on the right was particularly worth a look because it's so subtle. The style and shape are lovely.

If you head next door to the adjoining store Precious Designs, who are #088, you can find this sweet flared mini dress with its 7-textured HUD. Now you'll notice from the back view that the alpha layer is a bit wonky, so my suggestion is to go without it and choose one of the fitmesh sizes (it does come with standard sizes in each fitted and regular mesh) and be sure to wear undies ;) If you have a similar style dress in your inventory, you might have an alpha that will work out, but this dress is too lovely to dismiss in my book.

If you love mesh but still enjoy the delicate fluttering of flexi, this dress from {MOEKO} offers both. Their sweet Afterlife gown has standard mesh sizes, plus the delicate flexi lace layer shown on the right, so you can decide which way of wearing it suits your mood. There is something ethereal about it, so it fits the season.

Nail note of the night: I went with the Vengeful Threads gift I blogged here, prize #040 with 10 terrific choices to mix and match. I already have some plans for tomorrow's blog that I'm excited about :) Meanwhile I hope you all had a terrific Tuesday, magical magpie hugs to each of you!!

Midweek Magpie Magic

Hiya everyone! We are halfway through the week, and tonight's post is full of variety again. I think tonight's goodies have a more casual overall vibe to them, ranging from urban to playful. I'm not sure what kind of wardrobe mood I'm currently in the most, probably a big part of why diversity in my inventory is essential :)
First we have a sexy leather outfit from Kandee's Fashions, which can be yours for a single linden as their prize for the Fashion Play Hunt. It includes the system layer pants and mesh tank top in standard sizes. I have accessorized it with some beautiful pumps by Karin from a lucky board at the Kokoa Fair Park. It is for Slink Mid feet and comes with optional mesh socks, not shown. I love how the softness of the floral print on the shoes contrasts the leather and buckles of the outfit. My beautiful eye makeup is one of 3 goodies in the free gift from Sn@tch at The Wash Cart Sale, the others being a pair of heart shaped sunglasses and a lipstick tattoo layer. I had to include a closer look so you can see the fun flicked out eyeliner and the smoky aqua liner and shadow.

I kept the pants from the Kandee's Fashions outfit on while showing you this gift from Vicarious Youth at The Wash Cart Sale, one of several items on their cart for $0L. This Open Front Hoodie has a cute panda print on it, and comes in standard mesh sizes for female and male along with child, TD baby and TD kid. I think I need a separate folder just for winter cuteness.

The Kokoa Park Fair I mentioned earlier for those pretty shoes has other lucky boards around as well, but for this adorable dress you don't even need to get lucky. Le Muguet has this labeled as a demo gift, so you can get this sweet summer dress in macaroon for $0L :) I have included a closer look of the tasty looking macaroons on the hem, along with the pretty lace edging.

My fondness for Midnight Manias comes into play here again, hehe, as I show you the latest from Rowena Springflower. This charming dress is named Mandy, and comes with a HUD to change among 5 color options, two of which are shown above. That silky look with the lace trim is a real stunner! Don't forget, there are lucky boards and mini manias right there along with the midnight mania boards, so plenty of opportunities to win treats.

Nail note of the night: I am happily sporting again one of the nail bargains from La Boheme that I shared with you last night as well, their $10L Persian Lace Gold that can be found at the Wash Cart Sale along with several others at that same low price. I will be showing more goodies from there I'm sure, as I can't resist such afforable treasures!

I hope you're all enjoying your day/evening, magical magpie hugs to each of you!!

Wednesday Variety

Hiya everyone! I have a few different goodies to show you that I hope you enjoy. Variety is certainly the spice of Second Life :)

First we have an adorable mesh dress from Jinx and their Midnight Mania board, which rotates through various prizes each day. The name is Sophia in Minty, and it consists of a plain strapless dress and a lacy mesh layer with attached belt. You could wear just the simple base if you wanted something different. I love the pattern of the lace, and mint is such a pretty color :)

From the lucky boards at Rowena Springflower, we have the Calista Tweed Dress which comes with a HUD for 5 different deep color choices. What a great way to bring a bit of business dressing up to your second life, with the stunning buttons and sharp collar. With 6 lucky boards, 5 mini manias, and 2 midnight manias there, you're bound to wind up with some free goodies :)

Guess & Win Boards are great fun if you've got a few minutes to spare and feel like testing your luck. The one at Sin Original currently has this fun retro style dress as its prize, and I'm really enjoying the polka dots. The black and white is a really refined look.

How about a cute dollarbie hunt prize? This is from the For Her Hunt in which all the prizes (hidden in a cute anime girl hunt object) are $1L each, and this is the prize from Prism, a longtime well known SL designer who generously takes part in a large number of hunts. Aren't these colors great? This is called Brisa and the mesh top and skirt are separate pieces in standard sizes.

This photo is very exciting for me, as it features nails and eyeshadow that were provided for my review :) I've blogged alaskametro before for their monthly Facebook gifts, and now I am fortunate enough to have the chance to share with you some of the gorgeous things they have for sale at the anyBODY Round 7 event. My nails here and all the photos above are from their Tropics/Silver nails (also available in Gold), and a mere $25L will get you several types of HUDs (not just the Slink that I've used here, but also Omega, Maitreya and Eve) with 5 colors in each of 5 styles so 25 choices PLUS with mixing and matching that is a HUGE bargain! In the photo on the left, my hand all in blue is showing the variety of textures and the one on the right is showing the colors...Deep Sea, Turquoise, Pineapple, Coral, and Orchid. The eyeshadows are fantastic as well, I'm showing the tattoo layer for default avatar heads but there are appliers included as well, another very affordable $25L gets you 6 different varieties. I am wearing from left to right: Hibiscus, Peach/Atoll, and Twilight. If you like what you see, please be sure to like their Facebook page and visit them on the marketplace as well, where you'll find more terrific quality bargains!

Well friends, it is time for the credits and for me to reduce my multitasking by one task, hehe, so have a good one and lots of magpie hugs to all of you!!

Anniversary Hunt

Hiya everyone! Well I had a change of plans for today's blog since I found out that one of my favorite stores, Rowena Springflower and Precious Designs (okay that's two in one) is having a 1st Anniversary hunt. I didn't see anything mentioned anywhere about how long it's lasting, and for that reason I made it a high priority to get the word out. I've blogged lovely things from their lucky boards and midnight manias twice before, and these are more wonderful treasures with those oh-so-useful HUDs to change the colors.

The hunt is simple, all in the one building, 10 butterflies...5 red ones from Precious Designs, 5 purple ones from Rowena Springflower. They're not terribly big, so wander around and they'll rez when you get near enough, and look high and low and places like plants and such. Another hint I'll give is to be sure to check out the models too, perhaps butterflies like models :)  Okay here we go...


This is actually 2 of the prizes, the dress is #3 from Precious and the shoes (for slink high) are #1 from her also. They each have a HUD with 7 colors, so you can suit any mood. I am so loving that flirty zipper detail on the dress, and it may be hard to tell but the shoes have little spikes all over.


This is prize #2 from Precious, a very pretty jacket, and I must apologize that I have no idea where the black panties I'm wearing came from...you can barely see them but it's something I've had for several years and tend to always have them on in case of mesh/alpha issues. So the jacket comes with a HUD of 7 colors as well, plenty of versatility.


So much fun, this is prize #4 from Precious and I simply had to include a screenshot of the HUD as well as showing you the dress itself. The name of the dress is Leslie, and is a fun way to express your feelings.


This is the 5th and final prize from Precious, called Ain't It Fun, and why yes it is! The HUD has 5 colors for the skirt, but the shirt remains black, and I hope my hair isn't completely hiding the little ruffle detail around the neck. I also like the side slit on the skirt.


Meet the beautiful Asami, which is prize #1 from Rowena. Our HUD changes it to your choice of 5 colors, with the stunning dragon remaining on all. Being a lover of dragons in general, this dress has extra appeal to me because of that.


Prize #2 from Rowena is this skirt and blouse set called Ednah, and even though it is worn as one mesh piece, the HUD has 5 colors for each skirt and blouse to change independently. This makes for so many possibilities, love that!


When I chose the red from the 5 color HUD for Saira, this lovely gown which is #4 from Rowena, it reminded me of Jessica Rabbit :) I'm not bad, I'm just rezzed that way? You've got 4 other colors to choose from on the HUD if you aren't in the mood for red. You can also catch a tiny glimpse of #5, the Saira shoes for slink high feet, but since you can't quite see them well enough I took a close up shot...
There we go, now you can see the ribbon details in all their glory :) These shoes have a HUD with 10 colors to choose from, that's like 10 amazing pairs of shoes for free! You need this in your inventory :)


I'm sorry for blogging these out of order, my photos were taken out of order and I got myself a little mixed up, but this is prize #3 from Rowena. This playful combo is Hazan halter and skirt, and the HUD includes 5 colors for each. The buckles add such a fun touch.

Well that is all of the wonderful, generous gifts from Precious and Rowena for their anniversary, Congratulations ladies and thank you for enriching my wardrobe so much!! Magical magpie hugs to all :)
