Sexy Fashionable Gorgeous

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I'm sharing some group gifts for the Sexy, Fashionable, Gorgeous Me! group, which is free to join and was a creation of Palomma Casanova (of The Free Dove fame) to help bring designers together and share info and gifts. It is one of many legacies she left us with, and I always find myself a bit emotional while sharing them. It still has many excellent participants and there are lots of gifts available for the group in many different mainstores, like the ones I'm directing you to this evening.

I started out at Believe, where their NANY DRESS GIFT is yours with the group tag active. There are Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh body sizes included of this floral patterned beauty, with its deeply hued ruffle at the hem. Sleeveless is a good choice for the warmer weather that spring will surely bring, too :)

Next we take a look at the lovely Petry Model --> DRESS DSRG gift, one of several for various groups that they are currently offering. This flirty mini dress has intricate beaded straps and shows lots of skin, while covering all the essentials ;) It comes in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique bodies, with a HUD offering 10 different shades of denim for us to select from. That does make sense with those cute pockets on the rear of the skirt, kind of like someone converted a pair of jeans overalls!

If you need something more on the elegant side, keep that group tag on and head over to Black Angel. Upstairs with their many group gifts you'll find the FREYA DRESS by BA Store for us sexy, fashionable, and gorgeous ladies :) It has bare shoulders, a wisp of a ruffle as dropped sleeves, and a daring high-low hemline that I simply adore. There are Freya, Isis, Hourglass, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite mesh body sizes provided. I was pondering necklaces and thinking that if you have one that hangs down the back, this might be the right dress to wear with it. 

This hot pink outfit is our Elevation Candy gift from MONOMANIA. They are another very generous store with gifts for tons of different groups, so be sure to browse that area carefully for others you are a part of :) This gift includes the blouse and skirt to fit Freya, Isis, Hourglass, and Maitreya mesh bodies, plus the fringed boots for Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink flat feet. The boots have zippers in the back and tassels on the sides, just loaded with great details like the clothing. I do love a good wrap skirt, and this one goes so well with a blouse that is tied with similar long tails in the back. 

My final look of the evening is the ART & FASHION - MOON PASSION - LONG DRESS gift for SFGM. This can be found at the top of the wall of gifts (yes, another admirably generous designer with lots of treats!) and is a stunning crimson halter gown with a neckline similar to a choker. The couple silhouetted against a full moon while embracing is an enchanting image, made me do a sharp inhale (like a gasp but quieter when you're the only one awake in your home LOL) and then dreamily sigh the air back out :) Our romantic gift includes sizing for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies. 

My weekend was a tiny whirlwind, as I had that therapy appointment I was dreading this afternoon. It went surprisingly well, as I'd feared the worst (being dropped as a client for lack of progress) but he was very kind and reassuring. We came up with a different game plan for exposures, and I am going to do my best to stick to the new schedule and fight through the anxiety. I'm starting to get emotional again thinking about it! The bad part of the day is more amusing now than anything since it's been handled, but there was a stinkbug flying around my office here in the morning and bounced off my head 3 times, then it was still here when I got here in the evening. I spent 3+ hours with this idiotic bug, buzzing loudly around my head (collided with my apparently invisible noggin several times again) and dangling from the cord for my light fixture/ceiling fan. If you've never had the pleasure, they are large shield-shaped bugs that do in fact stink, mostly if crushed, so I was waiting for the housemate to come up and assist me. Not because he's a man and I'm a helpless girlie, lol, but because he's a foot taller than me with longer arms and I couldn't reach the stupid thing. He was busy watching wrestling online with friends (and being loud) so I waited impatiently. Summary: yay therapy, boo stinkbug, weird weekend. I hope you all had a nice one, and are enjoying your day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Sexy Fashionable and Gorgeous

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I'd like to show you some wonderful group gifts for the Sexy, Fashionable, Gorgeous Me! group, which is free to join. In a fun coincidence, I was able to find all of tonight's gifts on the same region/sim, LeLa Island, in several neighboring stores :) I was already familiar with each designer, so I knew to expect the high quality and generosity I found in each spot. The group's tag is a fun one too, which reads "I'm so freaking SEXY!"

First stop is DM Design where we can claim (among many other groups' gifts) their Gina Dress Gift. It has a high ruffled collar on the striped blouse portion, and other great details like built in suspenders and double belted waist. There are 5 standard mesh sizes included, as well as sizing for eBody Classic, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh bodies. 

I also claimed the {Le'La} Doneris Dress which is a flirty mini with midriff cutout and slender shoulder straps. We receive standard mesh sizes and Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP mesh body versions, all with a HUD that features 10 different textures. Each print has a solid colored trim that brings out the patterns beautifully :)

The SFGM group gift from *Pink Mango* is the lovely Vanessa GG, a 3/4 sleeve top and ruffle-trimmed skirt that can be worn separately as easily as together. The coloring is flattering for many skin tones and hair colors, and the floral design on the top is beautiful :) Each piece comes in sizes for Freya, Isis, Hourglass, and Maitreya mesh bodies.

Don't forget to visit FAVOR (dare I say to do yourself the favor?) and pick up their SIMMA DRESS GIFT. This charming sweater dress is in a deep shade of red that makes me think of garnets, my RL birthstone, and has a boat neck with one shoulder ever so slightly exposed for a flirty feeling. There are 5 standard mesh sizes as well as eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh body versions included. I think this is going to be a strong go-to choice once autumn arrives!

My final look of the evening is the [>Ma'De<] Moly ~ August 2022 group gift, and I have no idea how often they change it so I can only suggest grabbing it while you still can :) This strapless mini has a wedge opening on its midriff for a peek at the waist for very flattering shaping, and a floral design in warm colors on a grass green backdrop. We receive Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh body sizes in this thoughtful gift, and I'm very happy with all of today's findings.

I almost lost track of what day of the week it is, LOL, which is silly when we consider that I know the weekend is just ending and a fresh new week is upon us. I'm still dealing with a lot of anxiety, and had to cancel the podiatrist visit last week (from not being able to leave the house) which was a mistake because now one of my ingrown nails is painful and maybe infected. Ugh. We shall see what happens, as I take another baby step tomorrow and try to leave the house again. In SL news, I am trying to find out more info about the imminent Maitreya body update called X, details like if it is an actual update or entirely new body to purchase and if it will fit the existing Maitreya Lara fashions that fill my inventory. When I know more, I promise to share :) I hope you're all having a terrific day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Be Bold This Weekend

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we are visiting a single store, BE BOLD, where you will find a wall of gifts for various groups. I will be sharing many of those in this post :) They are mostly free to join, with an exception of a $4L fee to join one of them, so overall quite the bargain. These multi-designer groups are helpful to find out about sales and events in addition to all of the gifts available from participating stores, so I am a member of several of this type of group. 

First we have the group gift for the Mesh Body Friends group (free to join) called .::BE BOLD::. Gift Dress Graphite #3. This simple and chic sleeveless mini comes in sizes for Altamura, eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP bodies. The dark grey color will accentuate your favorite jewelry, whether they are neutral or boldly hued. 

Next I changed into the .::BE BOLD::. Group Gift #4 which is for the Sexy Fashionable Gorgeous Me group. This group has a $4L fee to join, which is probably so low to keep scammers and spammers out of it while still being able to provide us with news and gifts. This top and skirt pairing are each provided in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine bodies. The skirt has an extremely subtle floral pattern, while the strapless top is solid shiny black. 

If you are a member of the FabFree group, please change to that group tag and claim your .::BE BOLD::. Group Gift #7. This knit halter dress has a high neckline that dips all the way down to reveal a bit of bum cleavage in the back, and includes a HUD with 3 neutral color choices (two above plus black). It comes in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizing. 

This group is new to me, so let me introduce you to the VIP group which is short for Very Important Purchase :) It is free to join with lots of generous designers who participate, and BE BOLD is offering their Group Gift #11 just for us. It comes in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique bodies, in deep burgundy with a wide black belt. It has short sleeves and an even shorter hemline, with a zipper in the front for added visual interest. 

My final look of the evening is the .::BE BOLD::. Group Gift #13 which is especially for the [FaShIoNable] group, also new to me as well as free to join :) Our gift is a strapless mini with high-low hemline and built in belt, in a camo print for those times you want to pretend to blend in but you look just too good to hide. This treat is provided in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh body sizes. 

My day had two very distinct pieces to it, with an enjoyable morning and early afternoon at the farmers market picking up all sorts of delicious food, then an afternoon and evening hiding from the housemate's annoying houseguest. He is here until Monday, so I am just trying to be patient until then. I think he tried to drink his body weight in cheap beer tonight, LOL, so I guess it's good to have goals. I might be feeling a tiny bit snarky ;) The housemate will have to empty the recycle can in the kitchen a few times this weekend I'm sure. I am trying to remember why one of the people I talk to each week at the market was saying "not my circus, not my monkeys" earlier but that amusing expression seems to apply to my evening too. I hope you're all having a beautiful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Ma'De For You

Hiya everyone! Tonight I visited a single store, [>Ma'De<], and was able to pick up several fantastic gifts to share with you for 5 different groups. These are groups I have shown you various gifts for in the past, and all free to join, so it was simple for me to be able to claim these thoughtful gifts to share :) Even if you don't have room in your group slots for all of them, perhaps you can choose a favorite or two so you can treat yourself.

First we see the gift for the Inside Your Inventory group, called [>Ma'De<] Tess BW. This halter style mini with plunging neckline and fun ruffles comes in sizes for eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies, plus a standard fitted version for classic avatars. The swirly pattern looks intriguing with the contrast of dark and light, and the style is so flattering for curves!

For some flirty floral fun, you will want to claim the Paloma Hibiscus gift for the DM::: Group. It includes standard mesh sizes along with Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine body sizing. The straps in the front are a playful detail, as is the slit on the left thigh that is loosely laced together. 

Are you a member of the ^SL Mesh Body Group? If so, slip into that group tag and you will be able to slip into this Moly Leather gift :) The strapless style has a wedge opening on the left ribcage, and a daringly short hemline. It includes standard sizes Small and Large, along with eBody, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh body sizing. 

The pattern on this gift reminds me of the first one we saw tonight :) This is called Lexi Antique, and is for the Inventory Trends group (not to be confused with Inside Your Inventory) so just have that group tag active when you click this present. It is provided in sizes for eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies, and shows a fair amount of skin in suggestive places without being too revealing.

For my final look of the evening I decided that you can't go wrong with a nice floral pattern, especially on a dark background that really brings out every petal, and this one even has peacock feathers to accentuate each bouquet! The [>Ma'De<] Didi Peacock dress is the gift for the Sexy Fashionable Gorgeous Me group, with a neckline so deep it dips below the navel. It includes a standard fitted version for the classic avatar fans among us, and for the mesh body wearers we have sizes for eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique. 

It was another warm day, making it feel like summer is truly just around the corner :) I wish we knew if it will be safe to be out and about, and enjoy the nice weather once it fully arrives, but even with a mask it will still be refreshing I guess. My window is open and a ceiling fan is on, to bring in all the pleasant breezes, and it is lifting my spirits. I hope you've all had a nice weekend, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

More DM Design Delights

Hiya everyone! Tonight we visit DM Design again, because there were simply too many wonderful gifts and prizes to fit into one post. I decided to show you two group gifts for groups other than the store group, but first some more lucky board prizes because I did manage to get lucky again ;) You will need your DM Design group tag active to claim the lucky board prizes, and there are a dozen different boards that each offer something different to win when your initial shows up. 

My first look tonight is a lucky board prize called DM Design Roxet Dress. It includes standard mesh sizes along with eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Ocacin, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine versions. There is also a HUD with 10 color choices, two of which you can see above. The style is a really unique one, with what resembles half a jacket draped over the top of the long gown.

Next we take a look at another great prize you can win from the lucky boards, the DM Design Evelin Dress. It is a flirty strapless mini with a bold layer of fringe on the front, in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, and 5 standard sizes. A color HUD is also included, with 10 pretty options so you can pick your favorite color each time you wear it.

I know I mentioned yesterday how much I like denim, and it seems the DM Design creator does too :) This is their Lola Dress 1 lucky board prize, blue denim trimmed with a patterned skirt in sizes for Altamura, Eve Pulpy, Eve Slim, Freya, Isis, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP mesh bodies. That heart shaped cutout in the front is just the cutest!

I did promise to show you group gifts too, well this is the DM Design Iris Outfit for the Sexy Fashionable Gorgeous Me group. They are free to join, and I have shared their gifts from other designers as well in the past. Our top and skirt each come in standard mesh sizes plus eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine versions. As you can tell, there is also a HUD provided that offers 9 textures for each, patterns for the top and coordinated solids for the tulip style skirt.

Fitmesh Fanatics group members have a gift awaiting too, this sensual DM Design Linda Dress-3. It includes a standard fitted version for classic avatars, as well as eBody Classic, eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh body sizing. The tan and light blue colors look so pretty together, don't they?

Just another typical Monday here for the most part, but I am eager to see what the week ahead will bring both in RL and SL. I hope you're all having a beautiful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Gifts from Giselle

Hiya everyone! Tonight feels like the type of evening where a quick visit to a single location is easy breezy, so I popped on over to *giselle* where I gratefully picked up some group gifts. There are various groups represented among the prizes, most of which I was already a member of, and all of the groups whose gifts I am showing you tonight are free to join. They are very generous to the many multi-designer type groups, and they generally have a wide range of clothing available for purchase too so I did some browsing while I visited.

My first look is their gift for the Sexy Fashionable Gorgeous Me! group, simply called gif 10. It is a long halter gown with dramatic plunging neckline and scoop back, black at first glance but then I noticed the deep burgundy ombre at the hem. 

If you loved that gown but crave it in pure red for Valentines Day (or just because you look smoking hot in red), you can also claim gif 13 which is their gift for the DM:: group. It is also free to join, and this dress comes in the same sizes as its darker colored version above. 

Flirt alert! This is the gift for the SLFO group (SL Frees & Offers) which is free to join, and it is simply named gif 6, and is the briefest of mini dresses with some serious rear exposure ;) There are system/BOM layers as well as an applier for Maitreya, Omega, and Slink for the base of the dress, then the skirt flap has the bow attached and is unrigged so you can adjust this if needed. The pearl necklace with red bow is also adjustable, and the matching red heels come in Maitreya and Slink High sizing.

This is gif 9, the *giselle* group gift for the Mesh Applier Sales & Freebies group which is free to join. The color scheme of greens and browns with a floral pattern reminds me of the 60s or 70s, something retro and hippie-ish, while the long sleeves but short skirt are perfect for this time of year. The gift includes Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine sizes. 

My final look of this post is a flirty look that made me think of a showgirl :) It is called angi 2207-18, and is the gift for the *caramelo de fresa* group which is a neighboring store to *giselle* in the same building. The top is provided in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, and Physique sizes, while the skirt comes in sizes for Altamura, eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP bodies. As you can guess from the photo, there is also a HUD provided which lets you choose from 16 colors for each to mix and match.

Whew, what a day! It was busy as I expected, and rainy so that was not very fun, but it was an effective sort of day. I got things done that I needed, and my hockey team won so that helped my mood tonight I'm sure :) Tomorrow is my usual dinner with the parents, even though it's Valentine's Day, since there is nothing wrong with celebrating all types of love including that for family. Friends matter too, more than we realize sometimes, so I would like to wish all of you a very Happy Valentine's Day ♥. Many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
