Happy Uber-versary

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we visit the Uber Event for more wonderful gifts, as they are celebrating their 9th anniversary this round. The gifts are free with no group required, and most are at the event itself in gift boxes that have black and gold balloons tied to them. It makes them more visible and festive :) Other gifts (some of which I'll be sharing tomorrow) are at the designers' main stores, with the landmarks provided in the boxes I just described or a sign at the display that tells you to click. It might not be quite as busy now that the weekend is over, but just in case you can find camera sims >here< and >here< if the main one is full when you try to teleport there. From those neighboring regions you just use your camera controls and cam over to the main area, clicking all the gift boxes and grabbing any demos for items you might want to purchase. You can also do that purchasing from those alternate regions if necessary. I always enjoy helping to celebrate events in SL reaching anniversary or birthday milestones!

My first look is our gift from SPIRIT called Pika mini dress. It is crafted from striking stonewashed denim, and one of its straps dangles down beneath the left arm. We receive Freya, Legacy, and Maitreya sizes in the gift, as well as a HUD with 2 metal options for the closures. I really like the distressed edging at the hem, like we've worn this so much that it is softened and extra cozy.

Next I shimmied into the flirty Qip Me Monogram dress, which is our free gift from small. This brand offers their own original mesh creations, so I believe this is also one :) The daring style looks to be modeled after a cheongsam or qipao dress, hence the name, with slashed opening down the side and a plunging back that makes for a view that I call peek-a-booty ;) The gift consists of sizes for Khara, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn mesh bodies, along with a HUD to hide or show the breast piece and to choose from 2 metal hues. Fantastic!

There are lots of separates among the generous gifts, like the [CAROL G] Luna Cropped - Black tube top seen here. It is elegant in its simplicity, since you can pair it with just about anything under the sun (or in your inventory) and it will look wonderful :) It fits Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn mesh bodies. I matched it with the gift from .Safira. which is their Dolly Panties in two colors, each in two sizes. The white and rose pairs both fit Legacy and Maitreya bodies, and have the same eye-catching bow on the back that I adore! The slightly sheer texture adds even more sex appeal.

There is something about tube dresses that make me very happy, with my first thought being how easy it is to dress them up or down for lots of occasions. So I was delighted to unpack the Emery Panque Dress Berry gift! The bold stripes of black and wine (okay so that's like berry but boozy LOL) wrap around to snugly show off our curves, and we get sizes for Legacy and Maitreya mesh bodies. Now do I want to wear fancy shoes and jewelry for a more formal look, or flat sandals and simple accessories for a casual stroll around SL?

My final look of the evening is great for the waning days of summer, although our favorite season never has to end in SL...this is the LEROY - Vivi Bikini - White gift, and wow is it a fun treat! The top and panty are each provided in Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh body sizing. The top's straps wrap around the back very intriguingly, and the slight lopsided nature of the panty gives it character :) Just think - simple white can accommodate all sorts of colorful jewelry, shoes, tattoos, nails, just about anything you want to accessorize with.

Any time someone says "we need to talk, I have news and you aren't going to like it", it is normal for both the heart and mind to start racing, right? The speaker in this case was the housemate, who was informing me last minute (as usual) that the dreaded houseguest (their friend, we don't get along because he is a rude dingleberry) is visiting this weekend for the "biggest sports weekend of the year". And here I thought that was in February...really it's whenever they just want to sound dramatic and impressive. So I will be hiding in this very room for a few days, after a trio of busy days (Wednesday - Friday) where I test my agoraphobia and try to go places/do things. It's certainly not the end of the world, but not great for my health at this point (mental or physical) so I'm just going to try my best to have patience. The way time has been flying, the weekend will be here and gone before I know it. I hope you're all having a lovely day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

The Fifty Anniversary

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we are celebrating the 1st anniversary of The Fifty, an event brought to us by the same folks as Fifty Linden Fridays. If you join the Fifty Linden Fridays (FLF) group for free, you can claim dozens of generous gifts by clicking the purple envelope in front of each display. There is a very nice variety, and unpacking them all when I got home felt like revisiting Christmas :) This round just opened and will last until the 20th of March, so we can grab demos and come back whenever we wish for some retail therapy. I enjoy supporting the designers who work so hard and offer us these terrific gifts, and let's not forget top quality items for just 50L each week!

My first look of the evening is the Safira. Rylie Bodysuit Mint gift, a flirty little number with crossed halter straps and ruffles at the high cut hips. There are sizes for Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn mesh bodies included, as well as a HUD with both textures seen above (floral and solid). The fabric is on the sheer side, and that loose bow in the back is such a pretty detail. 

For my next look, I slipped into the -Pixicat- gift which is their Misha Top (Royal). The sleeves are gently slid off the shoulders, and the fleur de lis print is a golden delight :) We receive Freya, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn mesh body sizes. I paired it with the Delizio jeans in blue, one of several colors they offer for free on the marketplace in system/BOM layers and appliers for Maitreya and Omega.

The Delizio jeans were also a cute choice to wear with the (NO) Skull Reveal - Crop Top which is our gift from Nylon Outfitters. It includes sizing for eBody Classic, eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique bodies. The image on the front is a wonderfully drawn sketch of a girl's face divided in the middle to open up and show off the skull inside.

I love having items I can hold or hug in SL, so I'm having lots of fun showing off two huggable gifts here :) On the left I'm snuggling with the Fake Society x Plush Buddy Boba / Cream, which has furniture and hold versions so you can decorate your home and carry this one around with you. The sweetie on the right is our [Cosmic Dust] - Mint Bear gift, which has male and female hold versions along with a decor one to rez out in your home. The animation for the left hand melted my heart, as it made me tickle and scritch the bear's head ♥. 

For my final look of the night, I chose the lovely Apple Blossom Asheleey - The Fifty Gift. This mini dress has a t-shirt style top decorated with a striped band across the chest, and the hemline is slightly raised on the sides thanks to the gathering that is tied with pale pink strings that hang down each thigh. Claim this gift and you'll get Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite sizes to choose from. It is such a cozy style, and the colors have me ready for spring.

I'm afraid I may be the bearer of bad news if you haven't heard yet, but Ivey Deschanel has sadly passed away. She was the owner/designer of Sn@tch, whose work appeared here quite often as I was very much a fan of her style, and those fishing sets we could get for free were always just amaaazing. She had lost her partner in December, and had her own health battles over the past few years, so a small part of me wonders if she simply felt she was ready to join her partner in whatever the afterlife holds. This is the second painful loss this year of SL women I greatly admired, so my already bruised heart is hurting for sure. I send my love and sympathy to all of her friends for such an immense loss.

My weekend was otherwise fine, just a touch of windburn from my farmers market outing since I had to wait in line for a while for the special lunch offering. I picked up some new products from two of the chefs there, all of which are frozen and a couple are thawing in my fridge for the next few meals :) I hope you're all having a pleasant day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Cosmopolitan Gifts

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we are headed to the current round of the Cosmopolitan event, where they thoughtfully keep their Advent gifts available for group members that were released one day at a time during the previous round. Their rounds are just 2 weeks long, so I really do appreciate the bonus time to get and share these treats! With your free Cosmopolitan group tag active, you just need to click each glass ball or bauble on the tree near their front doors, and I find it easiest to derender the tree (right click it then choose derender then temporary) and I even derender each of the gifts immediately after claiming them to keep track of which ones I have clicked. If you want them to be visible again, just teleport away and return, as long as you chose temporary they will reappear :) Some of the gifts are specifically seasonal, while others can be enjoyed year round, so it is a terrific mix and I am grateful to every single designer who has a gift for us. Be sure to visit by the 7th of January when this round closes.

My first look of the evening is the very sexy RAPTURE Dress Sophia gift. I admit, at first I thought that right side was a pattern but those are actually tons of tiny cutouts! I zoomed in and realized yes, that is my nipple peeking through LOL, and if you look at my navel you can see that slightly too. There are sizes for Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn mesh bodies included, and the fabric is reacting to the ambient lighting in my home so I would say it is materials enabled. 

Are you still feeling festive? I sure am while wearing our Limited Addiction - Festive gift! It says "Festive AF" on the front of the cowl neck sweater, etched in gold on the black background that goes so nicely with the red striped sleeves. Both sweater and panties will fit Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh bodies. The panties aren't as thong-like as I expected from the front view, offering much more coverage than the strappy front. 

Another wonderful gift is the Avril Dress Red from .Safira., a long sleeved bodycon mini in two versions, with and without dots. They are each provided in sizes for Freya, Isis, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh bodies, with a HUD offering 7 colors for the pearls on the sleeves and 20 for the built in panties, plus the ability to turn the pearls or the panties off. The dots on the version I'm wearing on the right above are subtle, and the coloring on the pearls is more noticeable close up in person, yet I think the dress photographed beautifully :) Red is such a classic color too, a surefire way to turn heads in a sea of little black dresses.

I paired up two gifts here for a doubly appealing look, so let's start from the top! That would be the FashionNatic - Christmas Top gift, a tank top with straps that tie atop each shoulder with a bold bow, in sizes for Kupra, Legacy, Legacy Nerido, Maitreya, Petite, Reborn, and Reborn Juicy bodies. The red and blue snowflakes almost look like flowers at first glance, don't they? Maybe it's just me ;) The fantastic pants are from eXxEsS and called Leather Pants No. 2 brown. Their unpacker HUD allows you to choose just the size you wish to deliver from CinnChai, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, or Petite. Each one comes with a HUD to choose from 3 metals for the zippers on the sides both top and bottom, and we can turn materials on/off with the HUD as well. I have to say, these are *chef's kiss* impressively textured and fit like a glove, so flattering!

For my final look tonight, I left on my new favorite leather pants from eXxEsS and slipped into the [FLIRT] Melek top gift. Now I have double leather but each with their own terrific texturing, feeling rather badass and loving it ♥. There are sizes for Kupra, Kups, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Reborn bodies provided, along with a 16 color HUD so you can change your look as often as you wish. The high waisted style of the pants works really nicely with the brief top, just like the scoop waistline flattering the peaks and valleys of the top's design. 

It was a quiet day but a hectic evening thanks to a west coast hockey game that is still going on after midnight my time. I get to see the player we shouldn't have traded, as an opponent which is painful but reassuring since he is doing well after beating cancer. On Christmas eve one of my cousins was dumbfounded that I still watch even though the team is doing so poorly, and I just chuckled. I will be blogging more of the Cosmo Advent gifts tomorrow evening, then I'm taking Saturday night off...the farmers market we usually go to is oddly closed this weekend, so we are going to a different one that is indoors and features Amish foods among other treats. I hope you're all having a pleasant day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

FLF-O-Ween Gifts

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we are heading to the FLF-O-Ween event, brought to us by Fifty Linden Fridays. That means a bevy of $50L bargains at every display from many amazing designers, and nearly all of them have a generous group gift for us. To claim these, simply join the Fifty Linden Fridays group (free to join) and click the pumpkins you see which are either orange, green, or purple. It's like trick or treating :) Their weekly sales are already terrific, and anytime they do an event like this it's always a pleasure to visit.

For my first look of the evening, I combined two sweet prizes :) The top is the Midoa - Beia Black Top, a single strap tank top that fits eBody Reborn, Freya, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, and Maitreya mesh bodies. The simple solid black color is very versatile, so it works well with the _CandyDoll_Malice Pants GIFT. These lace trimmed shorts are decorated with ghosts who are ready for Halloween with costumes and pumpkin buckets. It includes sizes for Kupra, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh bodies. 

Here I kept the CandyDoll shorts on, but changed into the charming MARU / "Elena" Bandeau / Fatpack gift. This sheer tube top has two slender strings that tie to hold it in place, with two bows in the back and one in the front. There are Kupra, Legacy, and Maitreya sizes included, with a wonderful 20 color HUD so you can change up the look.

Entice is offering a delightful sweater dress called Bye Bye Love - Grey as their FLF-O-Ween group gift. It has a heathered texture and a playful crossed bodice, and it comes in sizes for Freya, Hourglass, and Maitreya mesh bodies. I think it will be a cozy choice for this time of year, don't you? We can always layer some leggings under it for those extra chilly days and evenings.

There are several gifts that are separates, either a top or a bottom, so we can mix and match things to suit our personal tastes. For this look I chose the *Vanilla Bae* Tatiana Top - Spider Print FLF Gift to start out. It is provided in PG and adult versions (the adult versions have a 3 step stripping menu) each to fit Belleza Gen X Classic, Belleza Gen X Curvy, eBody Reborn, Kupra, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh bodies. There is also a metals HUD with 7 colors, so you can adjust that aspect too. As for the adorable skirt, that is the gift from .Safira. called Vany Skirt Red. This pretty miniskirt has layers of ruffles and laced up sides, in sizes for Legacy and Maitreya bodies. The provided HUD offers 18 colors for the laces, 8 for the metal, and 18 for the built in panties as well as an "off" option for said panties. I felt like these gifts have a lot in common with the modest or sexy options of each :)

My final look of the evening is a spooky treat from (Milk Motion), their Skeleton dress-purple. It comes in standard mesh sizes as well as a fitted version for classic avatars, and a Maitreya version with autohide scripting. The waist is cinched with an opening that reveals a spine and what I think are glowing gemstones, but at first glance made me think Christmas lights ;) There is a HUD included with 3 color choices each for the corset and the inner lining that is where the gems are. This is an intriguing style combining beauty and spookiness. 

It was a quiet day, and my stomach is calmer so I am feeling a bit better this evening. The next couple of days will be busy so I'm grateful for small improvements :) I hope you're all having a groovy day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

More Uber Treats

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I have more UBER Event gifts to share, and as I explained in my prior post they are all located at the designers' mainstores instead of at the event itself. This means we are visiting dozens of locations to find generous free treats, most of which do not require a specific group tag, and mostly found inside a tan Uber giftbox with yellow-gold ribbon and bow. Our first stop is the event to gather the landmarks from signs or giftboxes at their displays, then we head out to all the wonderful stores :)

My first look this evening starts with the Mimikri gift called Amalfi Cotton Batiste Dress cruise. This gift consists of the slightly sheer dress in Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite mesh body sizes, with panties to fit both Legacy and Maitreya bodies. The pretty blue shade matches some of the beading of the Meva Allegra Set, their beautiful jewelry gift for us. The necklace has many strands of varied lengths for an impressive look, with a pendant that perfectly matches the included earrings. What will you pair them with?

Time for sex appeal! This top is the Lua / FATPACK gift from Bombshell, a daring bra in sizes for Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite mesh bodies. There is also a HUD with 13 colors each for the gems and the metals, so can customize the look of your jeweled bra to suit your mood or favorites. Then I added the .Safira. Dolly Panties Blush, a gift we can find on the wall to the right from the main entrance. I mention that because it is one of the rare ones not in the Uber gift box, still entirely free :) These playful panties fit Freya, Legacy, and Maitreya bodies, in a lovely shade of pink with a big bow on the back. I know you can't see it in this photo, but please take a peek below...

The blush color of the panties gently brings out the floral pattern in our OSMIA - Tie Neck Crop Top gift. I am a huge fan of halter styles and crossed straps, and the cropped length is just right for late summer into fall. This gift is provided in Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn mesh body sizes. 

Fake Society has a provocative and generous gift for us, their Vanya Dress / Fatpack. There are 14 terrific colors (black, blue, cobalt, forest, grey, lime, nude, orange, pink, red, rose, rouge, white, yellow) each in Freya, Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn body sizing. I'm wearing the forest color on the left above, with rose on the right. This strappy style has plenty of peekaboo openings while covering the essentials. 

We wrap up the evening in shiny crimson, thanks to United Colors and their UC_Jenifer_outfit_red gift. The top and shorts each fit Legacy, Perky, Perky Petite, Maitreya, Maitreya Petite, and Reborn mesh bodies, and there is a handy HUD for each piece offering 12 colors for the laces and 5 metals for the grommets and waistband snap. The two HUDs allows us to pick different choices for each as I did on the right. 

This is a week of flexibility for me, as I've had several plans changing and I wouldn't be surprised if there are more switches in the offing. For now I have a blood draw tomorrow but I do not need to fast for it, so it isn't really a big deal. The new month is almost here, so I will be researching and trying to see what to expect for September in SL :) Event rounds, hunts, sales...there is always something happening somewhere in the grid that will catch my attention, and I will gladly share what I find. Meanwhile I hope you're all having a beautiful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Cosmopolitan Anniversary II

Hiya everyone! Tonight I visited the second half of the Cosmopolitan 10th Anniversary rounds, as they have 2 brief rounds per month. This one is open until the 28th, and much like the first one this month there are lots of thoughtful gifts from many of the participating designers. Just wear your Cosmopolitan group tag (free to join) and click all the wooden crates you can find, easy peasy and very worthwhile :) I hope you enjoy your visit as much as I did, even if it is still rather crowded in these early days.

For my first look this evening, I tried on the lovely Mimikri - Aloha Fringe Detail Dress. This gift includes sizes for Legacy, Maitreya, Petite, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies. The fringe reminds me of a grass skirt, and the images on the dress make me want to hula on over to a sunny beach! I've never had the pleasure of visiting Hawaii in RL, but fortunately I am certain we can do so in SL.

Next we have the flirty -Aegyo-Sarang (Salmon) outfit, another wonderful gift for the Cosmopolitan group. The long sleeved crop top is raised to reveal the left breast, so I used a 'modesty flower' in photoshop so that white flower you see is not part of the clothing or SL whatsoever. The top and panties each fit Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite bodies, with a HUD to select from 2 metals for the chains on the panties. 

Another summery treat is the Coralie Bikini Lilac which is our gift from Safira. The bra top is comprised of two seashell shapes with no visible straps, calling to mind a mermaid. The bra and panties are provided in sizing for Freya, Isis, Hourglass, Legacy, Perky, and Maitreya bodies. I really like the soft color and the subtle scale pattern on the panties, making this an instant favorite for this time of year.

Perhaps you are in the mood for a casual, cute jumper like I just about always am, then I suggest picking up the Yasum gift. Their generous Tally FATPACK includes sizes for Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite mesh bodies, with a HUD to choose from 34 textures and 10 metals for the zipper etc. on the front. There is a nice variety among the textures, such as plaids like you see on the left or the print with text on the right, all in various color combos. The design on the left has sayings such as "Be the Energy you wish to Attract" and "I decide my vibe" so they are very uplifting, inspirational expressions which I greatly appreciate.

My final look of the evening is a playful bodysuit from GIZ SEORN that is simply named Cosmo 10th Anniversary Gift. It could also double as a swimsuit if you wish, an advantage over RL where fabric and stitching would prevent that versatility. This gift comes in Freya, Hourglass, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite mesh body sizes. The combination of prints is unique and complementary, in lovely earth tones. 

It was a quiet day here which is generally a good thing, and I am glad to have a couple of days without any appointments or plans before what might be a busy weekend. The weather is going to be much warmer, up to 93 degrees on Saturday, so it is hard to imagine that it was half that temperature just last week. I hope you're all having a wonderful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

More FLF-o-Ween Treats

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I have more FLF-o-Ween group gifts to share. These are found at the Fifty Linden Fridays seasonal event of that name, and their group is free to join so all of these treats are complimentary all around. We claim them by clicking various colored pumpkins (orange, green, purple) that are carved into jack o'lanterns to celebrate their favorite season. There are clothing and accessories for men and women, along with lots of home decor to brighten your living space. When Halloween and the end of October arrive, the event will close its doors, so be sure to visit before then.

My first look combines a couple of gifts, so I'll start at the top ;) That would be the MARU / "Spooky" Top / Set which consists of pink and white versions of their cleverly crafted tank top, each in sizes for Kupra, Legacy, and Maitreya bodies. There is a HUD with each that lets you hide or unhide the straps, and I have them hidden on the right on the white top but visible in pink to the left. My footwear is also an FLF group gift, the _CandyDoll_ Beatrix Heels Pink. These boots have an inverted cross in the heel, but there are two other aspects that you can hide/show with buttons on the HUD, in addition to choosing from 24 colors for the cross. (I meant to hide the inner cross and show the more solid wedge with cross cutout on the right, but it looks like I forgot to hide the cross inset, sorry!) The boots fit Freya, Legacy, Maitreya, and Slink feet. The jeans are the black pair from the Delizio fatpack that you can find for free on the Marketplace (and here on my blog fairly often) that include system/BOM layers and appliers for Maitreya and Omega in several colors.

[JUSTICE] has a seasonal treat for us called MIA DRESS - CANDY CORN, a tee style with slashed openings on the top and a knotted hemline on the left thigh. The ombre of white to orange to gold does call to mind those multicolored candies you usually only find this time of year. Our gift includes Freya, Isis, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizes, with a HUD that offers 25 colors for the panties built into the dress. 

For this look I mixed two more generous gifts for a seductive combination. The top is the Asteria "Vixen" Bustier - Purple, included in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, and Maitreya bodies. There is a great HUD too, with 4 metals and 12 colors in 3 textures each for the bra cups (solid, sheer, and embroidered like on the left above). I chose the embroidered lacy texture in a bronze color on the left to match the Cascadel"Patricia" Short-Black which is actually more of a bronze or burnished gold shade. It has sheer fluttery legs attached to the solid V of satin, and is provided in Freya, Isis, Venus, and Maitreya sizes. 

Crosses and bats seem to be a running theme tonight, as I see both on the .Safira. Arwen Dress Grey gift. The cross is supporting the corset-like belt, and the bats are flying all about the starry fabric. The gift includes sizes for Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite mesh bodies. I felt like I needed a bit of refreshment, so I decided to taste the *Tentacio* Vamp drink with its built in hold pose as you see here. The dark whipped drink has two picks tucked into it, a white bat and a cute ghost that are probably cookies. Goth taste sensation?

My final look this evening is a closeup of the alme. gift I've been wearing tonight, their Mesh Ballerina Nails - Scary Halloween. There are 4 neon designs all on black backgrounds to really show off the glow, and with the provided HUD you can choose individual nails to mix and match the designs. The nails come in sizes for Maitreya, Legacy, Kupra, Belleza, Slink, Signature, and Love Momma, in an unpacker HUD so you only need to click the brand and deliver just the size(s) you wish. I have been noticing that type of delivery HUD more and more lately, and I am a fan of less inventory clutter :) 

It was a quiet day here, not as chilly, and I am already eager for the weekend to arrive. I watched another exciting hockey game, and will be watching random Halloween movies here and there until the end of the month. I hope you're all enjoying your day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

A Little More Cosmopolitan

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we are enjoying a few more cosmopolitans, no not the drink but some group gifts from the Cosmopolitan Event's second May round. This is their anniversary month and they are celebrating 9 years, so most of the participating designers are offering gifts to honor the occasion. This round wraps up on the 29th, so time is of the essence and we could consider this "last call" if we stick with the adult beverage idea. 

Two gifts found their way into my first look, both tops that I paired with the Delizio jeans which are a marketplace freebie I adore. The top on the left is the Ricielli gift called V-shirt Baby Pink, and it comes in sizes for Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies. It has a cropped loose hem and opening that reveals just the right touch of cleavage, very nice! The Loki - Sad Bunny Tee - White gift is also cropped but even shorter, with a much tighter fit and a cute bunny on the upper left. This gift is created to be worn on the Maitreya body. 

Next I changed into the lovely FashionNatic - Zury Top - Cosmopolitan Gift in its new color combination for this round. They had a gift with the same name for us in the first round of the month, with a black floral pattern instead. The pink trim here really accentuates those flowers, and the deep V both front and back is a fun flirty touch. It is included in Freya, Legacy, and Maitreya sizing. 

Apl.Blossom's gift for us is this delightful Sn.Francisco Body No.8 bodysuit, scattered with ghosts on a pretty purple background. It is provided in sizes for Freya, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh bodies, with a high cut leg and short sleeves. 

If you are feeling flirty, be sure to claim the .Safira. gift called Akane Dress Black. There are two versions of this sheer dress, black and black hearts, as well as a thong style panty, that each come in sizes for Freya, Isis, Legacy, and Maitreya bodies. The delicate bows caught my eye as much as the peekaboo cutouts, and I find the plain version just as romantic as the one dusted with hearts. 

For my final look this evening, I slipped into the Candy Kitten group gift called *CK Savage love dress PINK. In addition to the original version with solid shirt beneath (seen on the left above), there is a version with no shirt and one with a fishnet shirt (right) that are each included in Freya, Legacy, Maitreya, and Petite sizing. There is also a HUD with lots of great options, like 20 colors for the laces and 35 textures for the top including solids and some with sayings. Several of the sayings are NSFW (not safe for work) so you might not want to play with the HUD at a non-mature location ;) I really like the Little Kitten option, with that sweet heart-shaped nose and touches of blush between the whiskers. 

My day was loaded with information and planning, as an older family member in another state is in need of medical attention so arrangements have been made. He will be fine in a few days, but will probably need IV antibiotics to take care of an infection. Cellulitis is a really unpleasant issue, and he is not the first family member of mine to cope with it in the past few years. I hope you're all having a pleasant day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Happy Anniversary FaMESHed

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we are visiting the 9th anniversary round of the FaMESHed event, where we can join their free group and claim lots of terrific gifts to help celebrate. The designers work hard to bring us carefully crafted mesh clothing, accessories, home and garden items, and more, and I am delighted to share their generosity as well. The gifts can be found in front of the displays in white giftboxes wrapped in their signature teal colored ribbon/bow, very pretty and dispense a gift with a click. There are two neighboring cam sims in case the main one is full (links here and here) so you can use your camera controls to zoom over and click all the boxes and do your shopping. There are so many wonderful gifts to share, let's get started!

First up, we have the sporty Neve - Free Gift - Peppermint outfit. The top and shorts each come in sizes for Legacy and Maitreya, with Legacy Perky and Maitreya Petite tops. There is also a HUD for the top that offers 4 colors for the shirt, 4 contrasting hues for the undershirt, and the ability to show/hide each layer. For the shorts there is also a HUD so you can choose from 4 colors each for shorts, trim, and drawstring, with buttons to hide the waistband or tie. Neve always provides such versatility with their HUDs and I love it!

I kept the Neve shorts on here, but changed into the gift from ERSCH called BamBam Top -bluemarble-. There are solid and sheer versions each in Freya, Legacy, Legacy Perky, and Maitreya sizing. I am wearing the solid on the left and the sheer on the right, but there does not seem to be a huge difference maybe because of my lighting? I am a big fan of halter tops and this one gets extra points for the unique style. 

Next we see the Florence No. 1 gift from #AplBlossom, with two versions for you to choose from. Both the long and short versions of this white bodysuit with built in belt and lace skirt are included in Freya, Legacy, and Maitreya sizing. Both styles have an athletic yet flirty feeling, don't you think?

Candy Kitten has a free treat for us too, their *CK* Never forget dress FAMESHED. It consists of the dress and lingerie each in sizes for Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Maitreya Petite bodies. I have to be honest, I will probably wear the lingerie as a swimsuit and wear the entire ensemble to a beach or pool, then slip out of the dress for my swim and sun time. 

For my final look of the evening I am enjoying the .Safira. Star Dress Mint gift. It is a sheer corseted mini with built in panties, in sizes for Freya, Isis, Legacy, Legacy Perky, and Maitreya bodies. The HUD lets you choose from color, silver, or gold stars (matching color on the left above, gold right) and 20 color choices for the panties. I also decided to accessorize with another gift, the .BF. Shanice Choker Gold from Beauty Factory. It includes one HUD with resize function and another HUD with 10 color options for the ribbon laced through the golden links, and I shared a closer view as the inset. 

I hope you are all having a peaceful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
