Redeux Anniversary

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we celebrate the Redeux event's 9th anniversary, which just opened and lasts until the 30th. If you join the Redeux VIP group for free, you can pick up lots of generous gifts here, like the ones I am showing you tonight :) There are also many terrific discounts and even $50L offers to peruse, which means this event is absolutely a must-see. We get to save money, claim some gifts, and enjoy a tradition of 9 years and counting!

For my first look, I am enjoying the TRES- Cheryl purple dress with its high neck, bare shoulders, and low slung belt that contrast the plummy purple very nicely. It comes in sizes for Kupra, Kups, Legacy, Maitreya, and Petite mesh bodies. The gold trim at the hemline and collar go great with the belt's light caramel shade of brown too, don't you think?

Another irresistible group gift I can't help but share is the UNA. Katse Fatpack. The top in two versions (with or without bra) and skirt are all designed to fit Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite mesh bodies, and we also receive a handy HUD with 12 colors foe each piece. The soft gathering on the tops is as lovely as the subtle pinstriping seen on the skirt, and I love how both have double rows of buttons for a little metallic flair.

Next I changed into the elegant APRIL Purple by COVETED! group gift. Its shirt style dress has an attached belt and slits (more like notches really) on each thigh, with black high heels included to match that belt. We receive Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, and Waifu sizes of the dress, with compatible shoe sizes of Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, and Reborn feet. The mods and variants for those brands all affect the breasts primarily, so the shoes will work just fine :)

At least three difference songs popped into my head when I spotted our Manikin- Q-Tees- Work It - Redeux Gift, so I'm curious to hear what you thought of :) The tank top is a charcoal color with pretty pink trim, and the words WORK IT are white outlined in that same pink hue. It fits Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Legacy, Perky, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. I decided that the white pair of Delizio jeans from their fatpack (marketplace gift) would bring out the text on the shirt nicely, and will go well with my next/final look too.

My final look of the night is the gorgeous Faida - Allison Blue gift, a snug fitting shirt with lace at the cropped hem and on our short sleeves. There are sizes for Gen X Classic, Kupra, Kups, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Prima Busty, Prima Petite, and Reborn mesh bodies.

Whew, I don't usually root for a weekend to hurry up and end, but I will be much happier when the housepest guest leaves in about 8 hours. The entire lower floor of the house smells like beer and is probably loaded with cat dander, so my allergies are bound to be a struggle for a bit. At least it will be quieter, and I can play Hello Kitty again :) I've been watching hockey playoffs and having a great time doing so. I hope you've all had a good weekend and are enjoying your day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Redeux Black Friday Sale

 Hiya everyone! Tonight's post brings us into the holiday season, as we're visiting the Redeux Black Friday & Cyber Monday event. If you join the free Redeux VIP group, you can claim gifts at nearly every booth for free while you shop for awesome bargains up to 50% discounted. I know I spotted several tempting goodies that might be making their way into my wardrobe and home decor very soon :) We do have until the 2nd of December to stop by, so almost 2 weeks of affordable shopping remain.

For my first look of the evening, I'm feeling flirty in our Cloe Mermaid gift from Una. I affectionately call the rear view 'peek-a-booty', as it does reveal quite a bit of our bum...in fact it's only covered by the two studded straps you see the side of. The dress comes in Freya, Isis, Hourglass, and Maitreya mesh body sizes. I really like the deep forest green, and you'll see plenty more greens at this event :)

This lovely gift is the Faida - Avalia blue dress, which commands attention by being a mix of elegance and sex appeal. Those buttons, that squared neckline, and those softly puffed sleeves, all divine details! This dress fits Kupra, Kups, Legacy, Maitreya, and Petite mesh bodies. I did find another gift of theirs too at a different booth, but it is much less SFW ;)

There's something so fun about wearable art, like the [S&C] Graffiti Swimsuit - Orange gift from Swansong & Co. This playful suit is provided in Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, and Petite X mesh body sizes, and really does live up to its name with the colorful graffiti lettering and artwork displayed on the fabric. It feels like bikinis usually get the attention for being sexy, but this style swimsuit is cut just high enough on the hips to be just as alluring :)

The #Benk Ruby Little Dress #Olive group gift is a terrific style in an ideal color for this time of year. We receive Legacy, Perky, Petite, Maitreya, Flat, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Prima Busty, Prima Petite, Tonic Curvy, Tonic Fine, and Tonic Mini mesh body sizing. I'm always a fan of crossed straps or any intriguing strap styling in the back, and there is something so flattering about the loosely draped bodice. 

My final look features yet another wonderful shade of green :) Our TRES - Luz Emerald gift is a sweet ruffled treat in sizing for Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Petite mesh bodies. The style really makes me want to dance, as it reminds me of fringe and disco or even flappers. I'm also thinking that all these greens are so nice for not only Christmas but the Yule celebration in December, since both involve evergreen trees :) 

It was a quiet day here, which was a nice change of pace after the frantic Wednesday I had. We went to 4 different places, and my anxiety was pretty elevated by the second stop. After all that, I was emotionally drained and then dealing with the discovery that the food I got was too strongly seasoned for my delicate digestive system, sigh. The acid reflux and nausea are both finally easing up though, so that's a relief at least. I'm looking forward to dinner with my parents tomorrow, and we can take care of any final planning for the following week's festivities then. I hope you're all having a pleasant day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Redeux Anniversary

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we are helping the Redeux Event celebrate their 8th anniversary, which is an impressive accomplishment and I offer my heartfelt congratulations to them :) As we often do in SL, we celebrate events with gifts for the shoppers, all yours for free with their VIP group which is also free to join. While you're exploring, just click any gift bag you see with their logo, and if your group tag is active you'll receive lots of generous treats. 

I'm "Not Toxic, just Spicy", even my shirt agrees! This is our Manikin - Q-Tees Tank Top - Retro Edition - Spicy gift, a clever tee in a rosy pink with cream colored wording and trim. There are sizes for Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies included. It's extra funny for me since my diet for medical reasons is as far from spicy as possible, but that doesn't always keep the spice out of my attitude ;) It's generally when people get spicy with me first, so this top can serve as a warning to keep people from provoking us I guess.

For a different type of spice, be sure to claim the zOOm - Gothic Corset GIFT too. This sexy treat has rings that resemble piercings on the nips, and upside down crosses both front and back. It is laced ever so briefly in the front, with plenty of hardware for such a skimpy style top ;) We receive sizing for Erika, Kupra, Kups, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite mesh bodies. I'm wearing it with the white pair of Delizio jeans from their marketplace freebie fatpack, but it will certainly pair well with your favorite pants, shorts, or skirts too.

Next I couldn't wait to slip into the Faida Milu silk gift, pun intended since it is a slip dress. It's got a great crushed velvet type texture, and the neckline is trimmed with a blue floral pattern ruffle. Also noteworthy is the zipper in the back, explaining just how we wrangled our way into this close fitting beauty :) The gift consists of Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite mesh body sizing.

The lovely TRES - Luz Choco corset dress made me think "flapper" since the ruffles resembled fringe at first glance somehow. I'm loving the rich brown color too, definitely chocolatey! We receive sizes for Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Petite mesh bodies. The TRES brand is a collab between Faida and Velvet Whip, so there is impressive skill and experience behind this name :)

For my final look of the evening, I changed outfits and bodies ;) The Mayhem Marlina Romper fits Belleza Classic, Belleza Curvy, Lara X, Legacy, Bombshell, and Reborn mesh bodies, so I swapped my Lara 5.3 to X. Speaking of changes, we can select from 30 different patterns via HUD, so we get to switch up this look as often as we want. It's like thirty different looks all for free, who can resist that? The bodice is fairly revealing, with that slender strip of fabric across to keep 'the girls' in place, and the leg cut seems to transition from modest on the sides to a little peekabooty from behind. I think the patterns are very fun and festive, so it is a great gift for an anniversary party.

My day started stressful, but I'm in a pretty good mood tonight after a fun chat with a friend while playing Hello Kitty Island Adventure together :) Multiplayer games can be a mixed bag, but this one seems to work out really nicely, and teamwork really can improve the game. Her game crashed as soon as we logged in, LOL, but once she came back (we were texting and I knew what happened, then phone call) it was all good for over an hour. Before that I'd gone to a nearby park, not the closest but the next town over, so we just extended the distance slightly. I had to pass by the dentist office for that added surge of anxiety, lol, which is actually a good thing for expanding my limits and boundaries. It's like if you pull a muscle and then have to stretch it slowly, a little more each time, to help it heal and let you use it again correctly. Whew. Tomorrow is dinner with the parents, and then Saturday the dingus owner of the farmers market canceled it because there will be thunderstorms in the afternoon, like after the market closes. Sigh. He pulled this crap all winter if there was a 10% chance of snow, now he's doing it again and ruining people's plans. I feel so badly for the vendors, who all bought ingredients and prepped food for sale (and posted on social media last night in several cases) before finding out today that it was unnecessary. Oh well, I do hope you're all having a lovely day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Redeux Anniversary

 Hiya everyone! Tonight it's time to help the Redeux Event celebrate their 6th anniversary, by visiting during the round (until the 30th) and joining their free group. This group tag will entitle you to a few dozen generous gifts, found at most of the designers' displays. We also get to browse some discounted items and $50L offers, so lots of bargains on high quality fashion and home decor. I do have a fondness for this event, and so many of the designers are very familiar to me like a cozy hug when I see their hard work.

My first look is the TRES - Ramona wild gift, a dress with a special secret :) The animal print dress comes in sizing for Kupra, Kups, Legacy, Maitreya, and Petite bodies, and when it is clicked a menu pops up to strip in 4 steps. I chose raised on the right, and you see the right hemline is lifted. You can also permit others to use this menu, so this allows for roleplay and some sexy fun with person/s of your choosing.

I always seem to find wonderful tops at these events, like the Manikin - Q-Tees - Adventure shirt I am enjoying here. This charcoal grey cropped tee says "Adventure Awaits" above a camping themed sketch, and "Go Find It" underneath. That is really good advice that I've been trying to follow more both in SL and RL :) Our gift includes Kupra, Kups, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite mesh body sizes. I paired it with the blue Delizio jeans from their marketplace fatpack freebie, several denim shades in system/BOM layers and appliers for Maitreya/Omega.

Those jeans came in handy to share this next gift as well, the Faida - Angie cute flowers top. This lovely cropped top has pale blue spaghetti straps and ruffle that coordinate beautifully with the floral pattern, really nice for spring on into the summer months. I can see wearing it with a flowing skirt too, really it will look great with whatever you prefer :) As for the sizes, we receive Cinn&Chai, Kupra, Kups, Legacy, Maitreya, Maitreya Flat, Maitreya Petite, Slink Hourglass, and Tonic Mini mesh body versions to wear with a wide range of brands.

We go from sweet to sultry with the UNA. Trinity Pink gift! This daring dress is open both front and back, with a cord holding things in place like a halter top and belt. It is designed to fit the Maitreya mesh body. I was dazzled by the damask texture in such pretty hues of rosy pink. Please note those "modesty flowers" I used to cover my nipples are from Photoshop and not a part of SL whatsoever, so your copy of this gift will leave your breasts fully bare. We can layer pasties, bra, or tube top beneath if we wish, depending where we intend to wear it and what we feel comfortable with. 

My final look of the evening is the Viena Dress gift from zOOm, whose fun name always makes me want to use wordplay like being inspired to zoom on over to claim the gift ;) The dress is a strappy concoction that fits Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Petite mesh bodies, and comes with a HUD offering 8 color choices. I had my usual fun trying all the buttons, lol, and was captivated by the smoky feel of the choices. 

It was quiet here and warm but getting a little bit cooler soon for just a couple days before back up to the 80s. It's like summer wants to arrive early but spring keeps peeking through too. I saw deer in the backyard earlier, and since I've seen a groundhog around I expect to see babies in a month or so. There are definitely aspects of this time of year I enjoy, despite my occasional grumbling about the pollen and my allergies ;) I hope you're all having a beautiful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Holiday Season Fair Gifts

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I'd like to invite you to the Holiday Season Fair 2022, which is brought to us by Synergy Events. Join their Synergy Shoppers group and you will be able to claim a gift from nearly every display in various gift boxes. There are lots of offers to help you save money while preparing for the holidays, and we have until the 4th of January to visit and enjoy some shopping and gifts.

My first look this evening is the TRES - Ellera bronze gift, a flirty gown with eye-catching cutouts. There are Maitreya and Petite sizes each in original and sheer versions (left and right above, respectively), and the sheer upper portion is both front and back so your choice will depend on how much you are willing to reveal ;) That is a polite way of saying your nipples will be on display, LOL. There is a hint of booty cleavage too, which generally doesn't bother me since it is just a touch. 

I also picked up a terrific gift from COVETED! called Gingerbread Man Footie PJs. They feature my favorite treat of the season, with buttons down the front and a rear flap that makes me smile. The gift includes Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh body sizes. The red background is a perfect choice for December and to show off the cute gingerbread people and their red buttons. 

If you need something formal, I highly suggest the SLC Christmas Sleek Gown blue gift :) I shared their rose colored version from another event recently, and I am still just as intrigued by the beautiful snowflakes and flattering mermaid style. There are Belleza Gen X Classic and Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Reborn, and Reborn Mounds mesh body sizes included, so it will fit many very popular bodies. 

Next I changed into the lovely *ASIA* LOLITA hot pink GIFT, a very well coordinated outfit that I only just realized is more revealing than I'd noticed. The top, skirt, and boots will each fit Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique bodies. Our top and boots are matching wide fishnet, with a layered skirt that reminds me of soft rose petals. 

My final look of the night is a three-piece set from Faida called Elissa - scarlet. The dress, upper armor, and lower armor are each provided in Maitreya and Petite sizes, and since they are separates we can wear all of them or just the one/s we wish. Armor generally makes me think of roleplay, but the brief shift dress might work for a different genre of roleplaying than I initially imagined. We could even wear the armor over a different base of clothing if we wish, very versatile!

It was a busy weekend and a bit confusing as some plans have changed, but still mostly moving forwards towards a holiday celebration on Saturday night unless the weather decides otherwise. I hope you all enjoyed your weekends, and are having a terrific day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
