Temptations from Unik

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I have a few more wonderful gifts from the Unik event and their 4th anniversary celebration round. We can claim them all for free just by joining the free Unik group and clicking all the bright red boxes we see at nearly all of the vendor displays. There is a little something for just about everyone, and I definitely enjoyed my visit there to see all the great offers while picking up the generous gifts. This batch of goodies seems extra sexy to me, not overly adult like you'll need a fainting couch, LOL, just leaning more towards the sensual side.

First I shimmied into the flirty gift from TheBeautifulOnes called .:TBO:. Zara dress TEAL. It has advanced lighting materials enabled which means you will see added shine (the purple tones) if your settings permit it. The dress is provided in eBody Curvy, Erika, Freya, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Reborn, and Star mesh body sizes. Besides the fantastic texturing, I was drawn to the style and the way the back is mostly bared except the X of straps.

My next look is the lovely [GIULIADESIGN] -CAMILA-CREAM dress and belt set. The strapless mini dress and 3 belts (black, pink, and white) each come in Freya, Isis, Hourglass, Legacy, and Maitreya sizing. This way we can decide which color belt if any we wish to wear at any given time. The black makes for bold contrast, the white is much more subtle, and I think the pink gives the cream dress color a faint peachy hue. There are no wrong choices :)

Two gifts appear here, so let's start from the top :) That would be the I Love Lida gift of ILL Rosa top, a bare shouldered tube top with drop sleeves. It fits Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite bodies, and includes a HUD with 6 textures in various shades of blue. That made it a natural choice to pair with the F.E.C DENIM TORN SKIRT, a super short mini with double zippers in the front that have worn spots in between them and then down each hip. This treat is provided in sizes for Erika, Erika Petite, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Reborn Rolls, and Reborn Up mesh bodies. There is also an unbuckled belt attached that trails down to just past the hem, another playful touch that caught my eye.

I might be in for a very hot evening with this next pairing! The top is our nera. trina top (gift) and comes in Erika, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Reborn, and Reborn Juicy Boobs sizing with a 3 color HUD. The one now shown is white, and all three have a faint design of roses. I guess the racy red is what led me to wear the SLC Slipped Thong Shiny *6 Colours* as my bottom here :) There are Altamura, Freya, Isis, Venus, eBody Curvy, Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Tonic Curvy, Tonic Fine, and Tonic Minim mesh body sizes, with a HUD that offers 6 colors apiece for the panties and the bows. Those tiny bows appear on both the front and back, and the rear view really is sure to capture the imagination.

My final look of the evening is a duo of dresses, since our AnaSTyle - Lesley Light Gray gift includes two subtly different versions. They are each provided in sizes for Freya, Isis, Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite bodies, and the main difference seems to be the side panels in the front which are lighter color on V2 (right above). The back of both are solid gray. I can't decide which look I would prefer, accessorizing with bold pops of color or sticking with silver for a monochromatic appearance. 

Lately it feels like my middle name should be Chaos, and it's not even big things but a ton of little things that keep cropping up and keeping life interesting. I am looking forward to a hockey game tomorrow evening and that is about all I have planned for the day, which is good because it'll be a rainy and chilly one. I hope you all have a marvelous day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Feeling Fabulous and Free

Hiya everyone! Tonight I have some FabFree group gifts to show you, the in-world group of the Fabulously Free in SL blog. It is a terrific source of information on gifts, sales, and events in SL, and has been for well over a decade. There are many generous participating designers who offer gifts to claim with your FabFree group tag, a handful of which I will be sharing this evening.

First I visited FABOO, whose tagline is Totally Tropical Swimsuits, so where better to pick up a gift that will bring you back to warmer weather whenever you wish? It is called Fab Free Hamptons One Piece, and comes in sizes for Freya, Isis, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine. The vivid print makes me smile, and the strapless style is flirty yet with a modest cut.

Another gift that is delightfully colorful is the Belle Epoque { Lere Tropical } dress, which comes in a Maitreya size. I was drawn to the bright yellow bow at the dropped waist, as well as the pretty pattern.

Maybe you are craving something totally different, like a twist on a little black dress. Head to BlackRose with your Fab Free tag active, and you can claim this Sophia Dress in standard mesh sizes plus eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Ocacin, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine versions. When you arrive at the landing spot, they are the building to the right, and the gift is on the desk inside.

Artizana has a glamorous group gift for Fab Free, their Yira Limited Edition Mesh Gown. It is actually two pieces, the top and skirt, each of which are included in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP sizes. The satiny fabric has a subtle embossed texture that is such a chic look, and the peeks of skin at the waist are an intriguing contrast to the 3/4 length sleeves and floor length skirt.

For my final look of the night, I am pleased to bring us back to The Beautiful Ones to pick up another group gift (I blogged their TeleportHub.com gift yesterday), this time called Mandala Romper. It is provided in standard mesh sizes plus Belleza, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP versions, and is an exclusive for the Fab Free group.

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

Teleport Hub Group Treats

Hiya everyone! Tonight we take a look at a few more group gifts for the TeleportHub.com group, which is $10L to join and whose tag will entitle you to a wondrous variety of free gifts from many talented designers. There is information on their website about other freebies and events as well, very helpful. Be sure to check that out too!

My first look is from The Beautiful Ones, or TBO for short, and their gift called Silvia Dress which is an exclusive for this group. It comes in standard mesh sizes plus Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink versions, with a color HUD that offers 6 choices. You will need to see this for yourself in person to fully appreciate it, as there is a gorgeous sparkle that cannot be captured by a still image. It lives up to the Beautiful ones store name, that's for sure!

This gift is from KingbalStores, their KS Outfit Judd Strappy Top & Pencil Skirt Blue. The tank top and skirt are each provided in sizes for standard, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP, while the shoes are included in Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink High sizes. All you'll need to add is a bit of jewelry if you wish, and you are all ready to hit the town.

Pearl Fashion is offering their *PF Britanny dress as their TeleportHub group gift, with a trio of textures available via HUD. The dress itself is provided in standard mesh sizes plus Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and even a fitted version. I love the crossed straps in both front and back, and the patterns you can choose from all look great with this fun style.

I believe that what we wear can affect our mood, so this Giselle Yellow dress from Belle Epoque should inject a ray of sunshine to brighten any day. It comes in a single Maitreya size, but give it a try and see if it fits your favorite body if you wish :) The pleated styling adds a smile too, and I think the deep V neckline will frame your favorite necklace very nicely.

My final look of the evening is a flirty one, thanks to SnB Fashion and their Ursula Dress gift. The vivid color, short skirt, peekaboo belly, and tiny straps add up to a truly sexy dress, don't they? It comes in sizes for eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique. When you reach the store, just follow the arrows on the ground that say FREE to the section where they keep their group gifts. 

Today I didn't have to go anywhere but I am on day three of adjusting to a medication dose tweak, and day one of adding several supplements at once. Sometimes that works out just fine, other times my body overreacts a bit. So far so good, although the first day of the new med was like being overly caffeinated and very jumpy. Yesterday it was less so, and today even easier, so I think I will be good with the new dose. I hope you're all having a great day/evening and enjoyed your weekend, magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Fabulously Free Gifts

Hiya everyone! Tonight I decided to pick up a few prizes for the FabFree group, a free to join group that, along with their terrific blog, is a deeply valuable resource for finding freebies and bargains. Whether you have been in SL for many years or are a brand new resident (if so, welcome!) you will find plenty of helpful information to maximize your in-world experience. On a personal note, their blog is part of what inspired me to want to create my own blog with those same intentions of guiding people to find affordable clothing and more, so I am eternally grateful for their leading the way. You will need to wear your free group tag to claim these gifts, and they are fairly easy to find especially when in most cases you will be looking for the FabFree rainbow logo sign (click to join the group) above the gifts. 

My first stop was BlackRose where I got to enjoy a delightful chat with the talented designer, and picked up the Tank Dress Fab Gift you see above. The style is summery and athletic, and this includes sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP along with standard mesh sizes. It is short enough that you could certainly add your favorite shorts or capris to create a different look, or to dress it up you could pair it with a bit of jewelry like a bold bracelet or simple necklace.

Next it was off to The Beautiful Ones, where they are offering this Sue Belted Dress in Turquoise. It has a contrasting belt built in, and comes in several fitted mesh sizes including standard, Belleza Venus, Maitreya, Slink Hourglass, and Slink Physique. Such a vibrant color, and I like the style having a slightly longer back.

Two more FabFree group gifts can be seen here, and they are each very versatile. The shirt is from Virtue and simply called FF Group Gift, and comes in standard sizes plus Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique. It also includes a handy HUD with 3 texture choices, two of which are shown above, in lovely stripes of various colors. It will look great with your favorite jeans, shorts, skirts, or any pairing you can imagine, for example I am showing it with our gift from Baby Monkey. They are best known for their wide array of shoes, but luckily for us Pixie has branched into clothing over the years, including this BM Chinese Satin Pencil Skirt FF in sizes for standard, Belleza Freya, Belleza Isis, Belleza Venus, eBody, Maitreya, Slink Hourglass, Slink Physique, Tonic Curvy, Tonic Fine, and TMP. It is versatile not just for that extensive range of sizes, but because of the texture HUD with 6 shades to choose from. I am eager to try this out with wardrobe staples like mesh or applier blouses, tank tops, or maybe a sexy halter top.

Another store you will definitely want to visit with your FabFree tag activated is Marquesse, who are offering group members their Lily Beach White bikini and coverup set as their generous gift. The top, bottom, and coverup are each included in standard mesh sizes plus Maitreya, Slink Hourglass, and Slink Physique versions. Also shown in this photo are a sample of the Verocity Poses offering for Hello Tuesday, which is their Sherry Pose Set for just $25L which includes 6 poses plus mirrors so 12 total. That is a superb bargain, and I am a huge fan of having mirrored poses available. For the full range of Verocity products including poses and much more, their main store location is in my links on the right as usual, and my credits hold the link to Hello Tuesday for this special offer. 

My houseguest for the long weekend is on the journey home, and I have a continuing busy week ahead, so no rest for the weary ;) Next up is a dentist appointment in the morning, everyone's favorite, LOL, and a few other random things over the next several days. I hope all of you are having a wonderful day/evening, magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

FabFree Group Gifts

Hiya everyone! I have been a reader of the FabFree in SL blog and a member of their inworld group for as long as I can remember, and I am so happy that participating designers are offering gifts to their group members. I had shown you a few lovely presents before, but more are still being added as various stores join in on the fun :) Tonight I have more to share, new additions to the growing list of places to visit while wearing your FabFree group tag (which tells everyone around you I Am Fabulous) and remember, the group is free to join.

This first dress is our gift from .PoshTale. named Margot, and comes in standard mesh sizes. Also included is a wonderful HUD with 16 colors to choose from, and it looks like I inadvertently made this look Christmas-y with the green and red shades I picked ;) The strapless gown is very elegant with the long, loose shape and pretty buttons on the back. I love the soft pattern on the top.

I also visited .Ecko. and picked up this fun Octa Dress, with its slim shape and playful tentacles creeping up from the hem. This gift includes standard mesh sizes.

There are a few gifts at Ollie's Follies, in a special vendor you can scroll through to view the various options. I am wearing the Harlowe Cardi Combo Silver Wine Blend 2 from the Fit Bods pack, which has 9 fitmesh sizes including Belleza, Maitreya, Slink Hourglass, and Slink Physique. The pants are the same Fit Bods pack of sizes for the Huez Leggings Gray, and each item has a classic pack with your traditional mesh sizing if you prefer. Since they are all free gifts, if you do alternate between mesh bodies and the classic avatar, there is no reason not to pick up all 4 gifts.

Those sleek Huez Leggings from the prior photo made another appearance here so I could show you this Bea Fitted Top from TheBeautifulOnes. This long sleeved sweater is ideal for the season, with that sexy bared shoulder you can entice someone to snuggle with you and keep you warm if need be. This gift consists of 7 fitmesh sizes, including Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink.

One last look tonight is at a gorgeous set of nails from {ZOZ}, their FabFree gift for us is called Faded Winter Polish fatpack. This includes HUDs for Maitreya, Omega, Slink, and their own ZOZ Mesh Nails, 9 wonderfully glossy hues to choose from or mix and match.

It is a chaotic day here in the USA, so I am trying to stay calm and distract myself with things I enjoy. Showing you these generous gifts is definitely part of that :) Also I have a hair note tonight, it is no secret that I am a longtime fan of Truth Hair and they have a VIP group in-world now. There is a fee to join (currently $265L but I read somewhere it will go up soon) but for that, the members will receive an exclusive fatpack each month. How could I possibly resist? Their first VIP gift is seen here, it is named Deja and comes with their full range color HUDs along with the cuff accessory I'm wearing tonight and a HUD for 8 color options for that. There is also an additional hair piece not shown, to create the look of hair on both sides in front of the shoulders. The bangs you see here are a separate piece too, so you can see there is considerable versatility here. I look forward to seeing what each new month brings, too!

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