TeleportHub Group Goodies

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I hopped around the grid to find some wonderful TeleportHub.com group gifts, and you're about to see that I had quite a bit of success :) The group has a small $10L fee to join, and I've been a member for a very long time without regretting the modest investment. Any one of these gifts is worth much more the fee alone, and there are helpful group notices to keep us informed of sales, special offers, and new releases. Most of the gifts are inside frames that have the TeleportHub logo, and buttons beneath the gift's photo to join the group. Personally I had a hard time picking a favorite tonight and I'm curious if any of you find one of these gifts standing out to you more than the others.

I started out at SpicySecrets where I was delighted to find this [SS] Odette Outfit as our gift. The jacket, top, pants, belt, and boots are all included, in sizing for Erika, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Nhumana, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. The outfit can be worn with or without the jacket or the belt, so we have lots of possibilities. I really like the little purse attached to the belt, and the way the white stripes on the boots and shirt add even more visual interest.

Speaking of stripes, the [WAZ] Collared Rugby Shirt (Navy/White) gift from WAZZER WORKS has some really fun bold ones :) I kept the SpicySecrets pants on from the gift above to show this off without showing off my private parts, LOL. The comfy, baggy fit shirt comes in eBody, Legacy, Maitreya, and Lara X mesh body sizes, along with a HUD to apply the texture. It will be a default plain white when you first wear it, but that HUD will give you this classic design.

Sometimes we need something a little more dressy, and a little on the flirty side. For that type of gift, I direct you to our Munereia - MILA gift :) The bust is held on by the magic of SL, lol, and I'm loving that bare belly and diagonal hem. The gift includes sizes for Erika, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Bombshell, Maitreya, Lara X, Petite X, Prima Busty, Reborn, Waifu, and Star mesh bodies. There's also a HUD enclosed of course, with 10 lovely patterns to choose from. 

Next we visit Arcane Spellcaster (famous for Bento animated clothing) and pick up their stunning Line outfit. We receive the top and skirt each in Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, and Reborn sizing, as well as a HUD with tabs for each with 20 textures apiece for top, skirt, and straps. As usual I had a blast playing with the HUD :)

My final look of the night is our Belle Epoque - Kate - GIFT, definitely a case of last but not least! The cropped long sleeved shirt and skirt with playful tied front are each provided in sizes for Lara X, Petite X, Legacy, Perky, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. The pale pastel pink is fun for any time of year. 

It was a hot day and a noisy evening, LOL, thanks to the loudest clap of thunder I've ever heard at about 5 pm. Within 10 minutes the power went out, but just briefly. I really thought something blew up for a split second there, and was genuinely surprised that the power didn't go out immediately. Chronic anxiety makes stuff like that feel even more startling, and it's a relief that the stormfront moved on soon after. More are headed my way over the next few days though. I hope you're all having a nice day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Treats from Spicy Secrets

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I've got some group gifts to share from Spicy Secrets, for their store group which is free to join. The brand name should give you an idea of their general style, and there is some lingerie along with the flirty casualwear. If this sounds like you're kind of thing, come on over and add some sex appeal to your wardrobe!

My first look is the [SS] Hettie Set Pack gift, which is a fun style for visiting somewhere warm or lounging indoors. The top and shorts are included in Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Peach, Reborn, and Waifu mesh body sizes. Also, the enclosed HUD lets us choose from 20 textures apiece for top and shorts, so we can get creative and switch up our look all we wish.

Next I slipped into the playful SS Claire Short Summer Dress Ftp 2 gift, and I am so glad I did :) Don't be fooled by the word 'summer' in that name, because we can find any temperature climate in SL that we can imagine. This sweet wisp of a minidress comes in 5 standard mesh sizes, as well as sizing for Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies. Of course there's a HUD too, offering 10 patterns and 10 solid colors for a total of 20 great options. 

Our [SS] Merina Set GROUP GIFT looks beautiful in a deep berry color that is speckled in white, very fresh and flattering. Its bra top and short skirt are linked to wear all at once, and provided in Erika, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh body sizes. 

The [SS] Lizzie Outfit Pack 1 group gift really intrigued me with its versatility and the way it provides lots of coverage yet manages to feel quite flirty. The romper, gloves, and boots are separates that each come in sizes for Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Khara, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Peach, Prima, Prima Petite, Reborn, Waifu, and Star mesh bodies. Its HUD has 20 colors each to choose from for the romper, gloves, and 3 sections of the boots. You can see I've done each boot section a different shade on both sides above, to distinguish the differences in the photo :) At first I wondered how the pant legs stay up (they are part of the romper) but decided it must be that SL magic that makes all of our clothes fit so easily and stay right where we need them.

One more treat to see, which would be our SS Rumi Set Ftp 2 group gift. This outfit pairs a jumpsuit and tank top that both fit Freya, Isis, Hourglass, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh bodies, with a HUD to select from 10 textures for each. Most are patterns with a couple of solid colors, so there is plenty of coordination possible here :) Anyone else getting 90s vibes from the pattern on the left? Fashion is certainly cyclical, and I always appreciate that fact.

My day was decent, and my evening was okay other than a dismal performance by my favorite hockey team. They will be taking a break for the Olympics soon, so I'd really like them to have another good game or two before then. The roads here are still a bit icy because of the low temperatures, despite being plowed and mostly salted, so I'll be heading out Wednesday instead of Tuesday. Safety first, I am good with that :) I hope you're all having a pleasant day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

TeleportHub Treats

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I really had the urge to explore the grid and some familiar haunts, so I found a few gifts for the TeleportHub.com group that I'm very pleased to share. The group has a small $10L fee to join, which keeps out unsavory types like spammers and scammers, and there are lots of participating designers who offer gifts as well as share their latest news (group notices) about sales, new releases, and events. I've been a member for ages now, and have gotten used to looking for their frame in stores I visit that surrounds a group gift and has buttons to join and visit the website. Just look for those, and give the picture of the gift in the middle a click :) I love multi-designer groups for the variety of stores who take part, and there are always some fantastic treats.

My first look of the evening is the [LRS] Ronika Top/Leggings gift, which is one of 5 available for this group at this generous store :) The cropped turtleneck top and snug leggings with wide waistband are each provided in sizing for Erika, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. The tie dyed pattern is intriguing in monochromatic white and shades of grey, and how fun is it to have a solid pant leg to contrast against it?

I randomly picked another of the TeleportHub group gifts here to show you, this time going very colorful in their [LRS] Cateline Set HUD outfit. The bra top and fluttery panties will both fit Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Peach, Reborn, Waifu, and Star mesh bodies. We also receive a HUD with 5 texture options for each piece, which all have a coordinated solid color that automatically tints the trim, straps, and bows. Very pretty! The prints are similar to plaid, or at least geometric stripes, and I am a big fan.

If you're getting ready for cooler weather, be sure to grab the [SS] Jolye Dress TeleportHUB Gift from SpicySecrets! This treat is more savory than spicy, lol, meaning it is on the modest side with long sleeves and pretty rounded collar. There are sizes for Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Lara X, Petite X, Legacy, Pinup, Bombshell, Maitreya, Petite, Peach, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies, as well as a HUD with 5 colors to choose from. I was particularly drawn to the A line styling with seams in the front to add shape, and the playful way the sleeves extend past the wrist.

Our JUMO Originals - PRECIOUS Dress Polka gift is a great wardrobe addition for those of us who have plenty of 'little black dress' type frocks, but want something slightly elevated :) The single shoulder strap is a great detail, and the pencil skirt hugs our curves in a way that makes me think old Hollywood glamour. The gift includes Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and Signature mesh body sizing. What a wonderful gift!

One more look for the evening, we have the [Sexy Princess] Kara Dress gift which is a gorgeous way to wrap up the post. This halter dress has a bold opening in the cleavage area as well as most of the midriff, giving the appearance of top and skirt held together by a single round golden link in the front. I can't resist the red rose pattern on the black background either :) This beauty comes in sizes for Lara X, Legacy, Bombshell, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies.

It was a frazzle kind of day, so I am running behind yet again, and struggling to remain positive after a housemate issue with broken promises and an irritating argument. Tomorrow is supposed to involve an outing (with said housemate) so I'm dreading the likelihood that I'll have an even more aggravating day to be honest. Otherwise I am still deciding what to blog tomorrow, and am counting down the days until certain SL events open which will be busy but exciting :) I hope you're all having a pleasant day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

TeleportHub Group Goodies

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I ran across an irresistible gift for the TeleportHub.com group, and one thing led to another (and another store, and another...) so here we are with lots of terrific group gifts! The group has a modest $10L fee to join, which I paid several years ago and have never regretted it in the slightest. The participating designers share updates about sales, special offers, and gifts for this group and their own store groups from what I've seen, which means we are informed on their newest and most affordable products. The gifts are easy to find by looking for the large frame that says TeleportHub.com on it, surrounding most of the gifts, although a few here and there will have a smaller sign near the gift instead. The website has some gifts listed under Exclusive Gifts, but sometimes I find them just by visiting the stores who have posted group notices most recently.

First up, we have the charming TOG STORE . Lua Set which is found on a column in the middle of their VIP room for their group, with other groups' gifts appearing in this same area. There are 4 versions with different colors of dark plaid, each to fit Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh bodies. I'm wearing 01 on the left above and 03 to the right. The sweetheart neckline is a longtime favorite style of mine, and these rompers have bold clips on the straps for extra visual appeal. I appreciate that the shorts are long enough to have a small inseam, while still being short enough for summer comfort. 

I also visited MAAI where I happily claimed their Hella Dress * Black beige gift. It includes sizing for Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite mesh bodies, all in the high necked sleeveless style that hugs every curve down to the brief hem. There is something so appealing to me about ombre on fashions (first fell in love with it from nail art), and this black to soft mauve is a real head-turner :) 

SpicySecrets has the flirty SS Alessia Bodysuit Ombre Pack waiting as its gift for all TeleportHub visitors. The very flattering suit and beaded belt are each provided in Freya, eBody Curvy, eBody Reborn, Hourglass, Kupra, Kupra Bimbo, Kups, Legacy, Legacy Perky, Legacy Perky Petite, Maitreya, and Maitreya Petite sizes. There is also a handy HUD with 10 ombre textures for the bodysuit and 5 choices for the belt, so we get to mix and match to our heart's content. That bared back is ideal for showing off a new tattoo or a necklace that hangs down the back, don't you think?

Next we have the .:AMUI:. "Sheryl" Dress gift, one of several groups' gifts so be sure to check the area for other groups you might already be a member of :) This stunning mini dress is surprisingly sheer, something I didn't notice initially because of the cheerful pineapple pattern and very bright colors. There are some more subtle hues to select from too on the 10 color HUD, which makes this as versatile as it is sexy. We receive Erika, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh body sizing in this thoughtful gift.

For my final look this evening, I headed to [[Masoom]] where I found the beautiful Eleanor Gift Teleport Hub outfit. It is on a shelf with the group gifts for their store group, so just look for the TeleportHub sign beneath it and the white hovertext with this group's name :) The open dress and intricate bra are linked together and worn as one piece, in sizes for Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn bodies. There is also an alpha attachment or BOM alpha layer for each size, so if any part of your body decides to try to poke through there is a very easy remedy. It really is just a coincidence that this is another ombre hued treat, but I clearly do not mind and am grateful for all of them.

I hope you're all having a pleasant day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

SpicySecrets Gifts

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I'd like to invite you to SpicySecrets, where the fashions are sometimes spicy but always well crafted and versatile. They have a free group for their store with several available gifts, as well as treats for other multi-designer groups that you might also be a part of already. So be sure to check that group gift wall thoroughly and see what groups you're already in to make sure you get all the goodies you can :) All of tonight's looks are for their store group, and some are even more flirty than the ones I am sharing (the spicy side!) so if that sounds like your style I welcome you to find yourself some new clothing and lingerie. Maybe to celebrate the new month?

My first look is the playful SS Rumi Set Ftp 3 gift, comprised of a separate top and jumpsuit each in sizes for Freya, Isis, Hourglass, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh bodies. We also receive a HUD with 12 textures for each so we can mix and match. There are solids and patterns among the options which also helps to coordinate if you don't want to match all one solid color. I think it's a fun casual look for this time of year when it isn't consistently hot yet but we still have some toasty days among cooler evenings.

Next I slipped into the SS Claire Short Summer Dress Ftp.2 group gift, which has lots of options :) There are 5 standard mesh sizes along with Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Hourglass, and Physique mesh body sizes, all with original and alpha versions which provides a slightly transparent fabric appearance. That is actually the one I'm wearing above and it is not immediately noticeable that it is a bit less than fully solid. As you can guess, we also get a HUD with 20 textures which are 10 prints and 10 solids. I was going to display one of each but then I clicked the one on the right, had a wild 70s flashback (still haven't quite remembered what it reminds me of though, too far back into the recesses of my memory) and just had to show it off too :) 

This beauty is our SS Thorra Dress 20 colors gift, a mini dress with 3/4 length sleeves and full short skirt, topped with a black leather belt/suspender combo and sheer black fishnet skirt layer. There are Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizes provided, plus a 20 color HUD so you can change up the look whenever you wish. I appreciate the ability to go bold and bright or softer to contrast the black trim more.

I also picked up a wonderful gift called [SS] Ritta Bodysuit Pack 3, a strapless suit with high cut legs and plentiful ruffles. In sizing for eBody Reborn, Kupra Bimbo, Low, Original, Legacy, Perky, Perky Petite, Maitreya, Petite, Tonic Curvy, Tonic Fine, and Tonic Minim, this is bound to fit most very popular bodies and mods. You'll also find a texture HUD inside, with 20 terrific choices that are mainly various florals like the two seen above. I'm so happy I chose to share these during Spring!

My final look of the evening is another floral gem, the SS Winnie Dress Pack 2 group gift. It also includes quite an array of mesh body sizes - Altamura, eBody Curvy, eBody Reborn, Freya, Hourglass, Kupra Bimbo, Low, Original, Kups A, Kups B, Legacy, Perky, Perky Petite, Maitreya, Petite, Tonic Curvy, Tonic Fine, and Tonic Minim. The texture HUD has 10 bloomingly beautiful textures with various shades of white/gray as the backdrop, to go with the built in white belt. I had a hard time deciding which two to share, since they all caught my eye, but there is something very romantic about the red and white roses as well as that pale pink against dove grey.

Quick hair note of the night: Truth Hair took part in the Saturday Sale again this past weekend, and I am not sure if the new Muse style I'm wearing tonight is still available for the sale price but should be with their new releases if not. I picked up the essential pack, since I seem to flip between auburn and blonde lately, and there are some style options including a knotted headband that I am not currently wearing. I found out by following them on flickr, and if you're a fan too then I recommend doing the same.

It was a rollercoaster of a day, as I'm having a medical issue that is rather awkward but needs attention so I am going to a doctor on Wednesday morning. This will probably mean no blog post on Wednesday, but I should be back the next day :) Sometimes RL interferes with SL, but I try my best to keep it from happening too often. This whole month is filled with weeks that will be missing a midweek post, thanks to the dental stuff too, so yay for a weird May? *shrug* I hope you're all having a pleasant day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

SLMB Group Gifts

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I followed a whim and explored the grid for group gifts, for the SL Mesh Bodies or SLMB group. It is a multi-designer group that is free to join, and there are many participating stores with gifts for the SLMB group members to claim for free. I usually visit any store who posted a group notice recently, quite often prompted by stopping by one of those stores for another reason and spotting an irresistible gift :) Lots of designers these days are part of several different multi-designer groups like SLMB, and have gifts available for each they take part in, so keep an eye out while picking these up to see if you have other treats you can claim too.

My first look comes from V8 Underground and is their **NATASCHA ELHONEMC BLUE URBAN STYLE COMPLET OUTFIT**. The slender halter top, high waisted pants, matching belt, and platform sandals all fit Freya, Hourglass, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh bodies, and I enjoy having the belt as a separate and therefore optional attachment. V8 Underground is a longtime favorite of mine (formerly known as Brii Underground) for their impressive range of styles and the fact that nearly everything they offer has footwear and accessories to really bring their looks to life. There is something about this vivid deep blue that definitely caught my attention, and that wrapped halter top will catch everyone else's eyes too ;)

Next we visit Black Angel Store, head upstairs to the group gifts area, and claim this stunning AYLIN JUMPSUIT by BA Store. Racy red? Check! Alluring style with sexy cutouts? Check again! Jaw-dropping shiny texture with metallic flecks for added shimmer? You bet that's another check or two :) We receive sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Ocacin, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, Tonic Fine, and Tonic Minim mesh bodies for this generous gift. 

*Salesita's Creations* is offering this pretty Group gift 13 Dress Elena for all SLMB members to claim for their very own. The vendor is set up so we right click, pay $1L, and are automatically refunded while the gift is delivered. This is another gift that offers the opportunity to explore the upper floor of a store to find their group gifts area, and you'll want to camera way up on the wall to locate this present :) It comes in sizes for Freya, Isis, Kupra Bimbo, Kupra Low, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies. I really like the fringy hemline that makes me want to wear this dancing!

Sometimes we just need a great bra and panty set, and our SpicySecrets Gold Lingerie Group Gift certainly fits the bill there. Sorry but I cannot keep this a secret, LOL! The bright yellow gold satin set is provided in system/BOM layers as well as appliers for Belleza, Maitreya, and Omega compatible bodies, and as separates we can wear them together or independently of one another if we prefer. For example, there are plenty of times I wear a dress or skirt that calls for underwear beneath, and why not choose something as pretty as it is practical?

My final look tonight can be found at KingbalStores and is called 150 KS OUTFIT TINTORI SHORT&TOP ARMY. This generous gift consists of laced up tube top and extra short shorts with camouflage pattern, in sizing for Fox, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and Werewolf mesh bodies. So many fun straps on those sides, I don't think the camo print will fulfill its original intention of helping us blend in anywhere. 

Whew, Mondays...it was raining here most of the evening, and that included sleet for a while that was loudly pinging against my window. That's only a few feet from me, as my desk is against that part of the wall so it's right behind my monitor and PC tower. I think that makes it sound even louder than normal, being so close to the window. I'm really ready for spring, as you can guess, and I'm sure I am not the only one. The sad news about Ivey's passing is still weighing on my heart, so my mood is leaning towards somber tonight. I hope you're all having a beautiful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Third Life Group Gifts

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we are exploring several stores of designers who participate in the Third Life group, which has a small $10L fee to join which is probably to protect from spammers and scammers. I've been a member for several years, and have gotten plenty of handy tips about special offers, sales, gifts, and even some stores that were new to me. I hope you enjoy your visits to these stores as much as I did :)

My first look this evening comes from ConTrato (new to me) called Sunny Skirt & Top - Model 5. The cinched bandeau and maxi skirt are each provided in standard mesh sizes along with Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh body sizes. The top's solid color is a great match for one of the hues in the swirling pattern of the skirt, making them a very nicely coordinated outfit.

I also visited the Alma Miranda store where I found this lovely SAILOR EMBROIDERY MAXI DRESS as their current Third Life group gift. It has a fun mix of patterns and a 3D design on the bodice that usually looks like spiral flowers but in this texturing reminds me of a swirl of rope that would be very suitable for a nautical themed dress. There are 5 fitmesh standard sizes as well as Maitreya and Slink versions included in this gift. 

While I have referenced warmer weather on my blog lately, I fully recognize that other parts of the world (waves to Australia and New Zealand readers) are entering winter soon and that even more importantly we can find any climate we wish in SL no matter what the calendar says. So I was very pleased to claim the VERTIGO gift for Third Life called AISLING SWEATER DRESS. Its lush knit texture works so well with the style, from pert hood to darker band at the hem. This flattering dress fits Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies. 

Next we head to [WellMade] who are very generous to both their own group and many other multi-designer groups, as evidenced by the wonderful Amaya Dress GIFT for Third Life. This bubble dress is provided in eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh body sizes, with a HUD offering 2 choices each for the dress and its built in belt. The blue and teal colors for the belt are very similar, and both look great with either pattern hues. 

Interestingly, the colors from my final look this evening are much like shades found in the WellMade gift :) This one however is a lingerie set from SpicySecrets which is called SS GIFT FOR THIRD LIFE. It was my first visit to this store, so I am very pleased to make their acquaintance :) The bra and panties are included in system/BOM layers plus appliers for Belleza, Maitreya, and Omega, so they are compatible with classic avatars and most popular mesh bodies. I really like the layered look, and the bright colors are certainly a fun touch. 

How was everyone's weekend? Mine was better than expected since the storm system apparently steered away from my area for the most part. The weather Saturday morning was terrific for the farmers market, and that put me in a happy frame of mind for the rest of the weekend. The houseguest arrived soon after I got home from the market, and will be leaving in the morning. Nothing major to say there, I have just been hanging out up here and trying to be extra quiet. I am literally awake the entire time he is asleep, so I make an effort to be polite about voice chatting, laughing, whatever might be disruptive. Oh well, I hope you're all having a fantastic day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
