Stylish Gifts from Tiffany Designs

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I'd like to tell you about a special offer at Tiffany Designs, where we've been able to pick up high quality fashions for at least a decade :) They are quite generous too, as you're about to see, with several free gifts at their front entrance as well as a $250L gift card that we don't need any particular group to claim. There are 5 dresses or outfits in addition to the gift card, which I used to purchase two of the looks tonight without spending a single linden dollar of my own. I didn't see an ending date for the offers anywhere but the gift card expires on the first of September, so I wouldn't wait too long.

My first look of the evening is our ::TD:: Mia Lace Outfit 1 gift, which is free for everyone. The dress, top, socks, and shoes are each provided in sizes for Erika, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. The dress part has suspenders that barely cover the breasts, which is why we also have a top to layer beneath :) Aren't those seamed fishnet thigh high stockings fun? 

Our ::TD:: Lina Dress [Mesh] gift brings the glamour and the drama! This single strapped dress has a bold slit all the way up the front, which made me reconsider several possible poses ;) You'll want to wear panties to ensure everything down there is appropriately covered, in other words. We receive Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Natural, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Peach, Reborn, Waifu, and Star mesh body sizes, as well as a HUD that lets us select from 20 assorted textures. Some are shiny solid colors, while others have lovely patterns like the floral I'm enjoying on the left. Even the rear view is intriguing thanks to the straps creating a teasing opening to show off much of our back.

Next it is my pleasure to share the ::TD:: Adrie Dress {Mesh} gift, also yours for free outside the main entrance. The fringed hem immediately caught my eye, and wait until you get a chance to experiment with the texture HUD! It offers 20 different choices, including a couple of lacy ones like the one I'm wearing on the right above since the rear view was more modest than the front view. The dress itself fits Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. So pretty and flirty!

I did mention using my gift card, and to be more specific I browsed through the New Releases section which is when you first walk through the front door :) There I found this gorgeous ::TD:: Lucia Dress [Mesh] for just $99L, which was less than half of my gift card's balance of $250L. There are sizes for Erika, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, and Waifu bodies, along with a HUD that lets us choose from 18 colors apiece for the string, dress, belt, and ruffles. The flat bows across the top of the shoulder straps (string on the HUD) are a lovely feminine detail, just like all the lace and the sassy ruffle at the hem. This is quite a bargain for something that can be adjusted so many different colors and combinations :) Please read the enclosed notecard for the explanation of the 2 versions for each size.

My final look of the evening is another selection from the New Releases department, and believe it or not another fantastic bargain at $99L (free with gift card of course). The ::TD:: Sara Dress [Mesh] includes both the strapless dress and the cropped knotted shirt to layer over it, each in sizing for Erika, Kupra, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. You can tell there's also a HUD in there, and that has 20 colors to choose from each for the dress, ruffle, and shirt. The shirt will always be plaid with your selected color and black, reminiscent of flannel, and it is fun to be able to mix and match. Just think, I've got enough left on my gift card to cut the price of another dress or outfit in half :) More shopping, woohoo!!

I'm still using the heating pad on my neck and shoulder, which seems to be helping more today along with just the passage of time probably. It's been a quiet day at home, and I am probably heading out grocery shopping tomorrow if things continue to feel better. I hope you're all having a nice day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Tiffany Designs Treats

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I visited Tiffany Designs, where we can use the teleporter at the landing area to reach a wonderful gift room. There you can find gifts for everyone (no group needed), some for their paid VIP group, and even some gifts for various other groups. One of those is the Fashion days! group, which is free to join and they have generously provided several gifts for this particular group :) I've always been impressed with Tiffany Designs' style and high quality, so the opportunity to treat ourselves to a handful of gifts is a real pleasure.

For my first look I chose the ::TD:: Loli Dress ~ Model 4, a flirty one-shoulder mini dress with vibrant floral pattern. It comes in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Ocacin, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, Tonic Fine, and Voluptuous mesh bodies, along with a fitmesh M for classic avatars. The flowers on the dress are so familiar and yet the name escapes me right now...they are lovely though :)

Another irresistible gift is the ::TD:: Milly Outfit ~ Model 2, in a fun purple fern print that definitely caught my eye. If the colors or pattern aren't quite your taste, there is a Model 3 (not shown here tonight) that is also a free gift for the very same group in a different material :) The top, skirt, and arm wraps are each separate pieces that fit Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Erika, Kupra, Kups, Legacy, Nerido, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Reborn, and Juicy mesh bodies. It looks just as pretty without the arm wraps as with, or you could pair the top with your favorite jeans for another example of its versatility. 

Our ::TD:: Kinsley Dress GIFT is actually two separate pieces that we can wear together or individually for added fun :) The top and dress (skirt) are each included in Gen X Curvy, Legacy, Nerido, Maitreya, Reborn, and Juicy body sizing, with a HUD offering 20 colors for each as well as an on/off option for full bright. The gap between the pieces provides a flash of underboob, nothing scandalous yet noteworthy in case your destination is a kid-friendly part of SL. Also I expect your personal shape might make it more revealing, if your breast sliders are on the more generous size that is ;) No shaming, just observations :) I like the idea of mixing up the colors when the mood for variety hits hard.

Next is a similar style to that previous look, our ::TD:: Kinsa Dress 4 group gift. There are satin and mesh versions (left and right, respectively) each of the top and dress, all for Freya, Gen X Curvy, Legacy, Nerido, Maitreya, Reborn, and Juicy mesh bodies. The mesh fabric is the sheer one, but both have lace insets that provide some translucency too, making this a steamy choice for a night out or night in ;)

My final look this evening is the terrific ::TD:: Sofia Dress Outfit - 4 gift. I always appreciate having footwear provided with any dress or outfit, just to make life easier (I have a separate folder for sorting such outfits) and this beauty has an eye-catching monochromatic pattern that seems to accentuate the gathered folds of the dress. From the front the dress looks like a separate top and skirt, then the rear view makes us realize that it is one single sexy piece :) It comes in sizes for Erika, Gen X Classic, Gen X Classic Dainty, Gen X Curvy, Gen X Curvy Dainty, Kupra, Kupra Bimbo, Legacy, Nerido, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Peach, Reborn, and Juicy mesh bodies (whew!). The matching mid-height sandals with chunky heels fit Erika, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Peach, and Reborn feet. It all adds up to a wonderful total look, and there is another version of this among the other gifts in case you crave a different color scheme.

My day went about how I'd expected, which is neither good nor bad really :) Just a typical day lately, but I am looking forward to dinner at the parents' tomorrow evening. I did some hair shopping since Magika released a new style, Abigail, and it immediately called to me :) Tonight I watched my hockey team lose in overtime, but we'd been down 3-1 so even reaching overtime was an accomplishment. This is what I need to do, search for positives even in weird or bad situations, so please excuse me if I sound like a weirdo when I do. Please note I am not denying my weirdness, lol, just explaining it a bit. I hope you're all having a beautiful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Marketplace Gifts

 Hiya everyone! Tonight just felt like a "stay at home, relax and prepare for the weekend" kind of evening, so I perused the Marketplace for some new gifts. I also changed into my Legacy mesh body, so that was a part of my search too. Some of the ones labeled legacy are actually for the free TMP body, so it was important to try each of them on to make sure which ones where for which version. It is always intriguing to see what is new on the marketplace since some designers are there rather than having an inworld store. I also sometimes just don't want to have to teleport too many places on a weekend since it can be more crowded/laggy, which makes the marketplace a nice alternative. 

First up, we see the *CK* Savage dress CAMO gift from Candy Kitten. The slip dress has dramatic slits on each thigh, and the neckline is trimmed in lace that can be tinted black or white by using the included HUD. There are sizes for Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Petite mesh bodies of this flirty treat. It may be camouflage but I can guarantee you won't blend in ;)

Next I changed into the Sin Original - Lexi - [FREE GIFT 1] set, a terrific find whose top and panty each fit Belleza Classic, Belleza Curvy, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Reborn, and Juicy mesh bodies. Their dark floral pattern is trimmed in bright orange lace and bows, so eye-catching and fun for any time of year. The way the tails of the bows curl down made me smile, and I'm realizing I have no idea if that is the correct term for those parts or not. I used to visit this store inworld quite often, so it is always a pleasure to see their creations.

This gift wasn't even brand new, but there is a timeless appeal that is amplified due to the new movie ♥. This is the [GIFTS HOME] FREE I'm a Barbie! (T-Shirt), a white tank top with pink text and deeper pink trim. It comes in Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Signature, Hourglass, and Physique mesh body sizes, and the arm openings are cut rather low so it is surprisingly sexy :) The Delizio jeans that appear here on my blog often seemed like the perfect choice, but you can wear this top with just about anything you wish and look perfectly put together. There is a small part of me that will always think of SL as getting to play with virtual fashion dolls, even though we all know it's so much more.

The Kira Couture Summer gift is a playful mix of sporty and sexy styling, thanks to the tank dress being gathered on each side and tied at the hips while trimmed in white. There is an 11 color HUD so you can choose your favorite hue, all of which have the same white trim and an image on the front that looks like it says "London Soho 09 Fashion District" although I did see it as a 69 at first. The flowers over top made it hard for my old eyes to see it clearly ;) This gift contains sizes for Freya, Isis, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Hourglass, and Hourglass Petite mesh bodies and a standard fitted version, in addition to the aforementioned HUD. It isn't even the only free gift I saw from Kira Couture, so be sure to explore their marketplace store.

My final look of the evening is the amazing ::TD:: Sofia Dress Outfit {Mesh} - 1 gift from Tiffany Designs. There are so many noteworthy details, like the midriff opening on the dress that makes it appear like two pieces from the front, with slender waist chain peeking through, or the fact that it includes shoes in the exact matched floral pattern! The dress is provided in Erika, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Gen X Curvy Dainty, Kupra, Kupra Bimbo, Legacy, Nerido, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Peach, Reborn, and Reborn Juicy mesh body sizes, in other words lots of options. The heels will fit the same bodies, there are just fewer total sizes because some of those mods or alternative sizes just affect the bust. I'm torn between wearing this outfit or the Barbie shirt all weekend, LOL!

Everyone seems to be discussing one of the weekend's big summer blockbusters lately, although almost all the talk I've seen has been about Barbie. My housemate saw Oppenheimer last night after midnight, and definitely enjoyed it but has said very little to me about it other than it being intense. I had Barbie dolls as a kid, and her smaller competition called Dawn dolls (no, I wasn't named after them LOL) which were only 7" tall so the clothing was smaller too. There is a sentimental attachment for me, so I will certainly be seeing the movie when it's possible for me to do so from home. I hope you all have a beautiful weekend ahead, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Goodies for SLFO Group

 Hiya everyone! Tonight's post features several group gifts for the SLFO group, which stands for Second Life Frees & Offers. The group notices are packed with information about sales and new releases, and many of the participating designers offer a gift for the group members at their mainstore. So I visited with the group tag active and looked around to see what I could find :) There are really talented people in SL, and I am always delighted when they share gifts with these multi-designer groups so I can spread the word too. It's always interesting to visit stores we haven't seen in a while, or perhaps it is our very first time stopping by one of them so we are introduced to their style and quality.

For my first look of the evening, I visited Tiffany Designs and teleported to their gifts room from the teleporter at the landing spot. There I found the charming ::TD:: Milly Outfit {Mesh} ~ Model 4 as our SLFO gift. It consists of the top, skirt, and arm wraps, each in sizes for Erika, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Kups, Legacy, Legacy Nerido, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Reborn, and Reborn Juicy mesh bodies. The separate pieces are handy as it means we can wear the top without the arm straps if we prefer, or mix things up and pair any of the pieces with items already in our wardrobes. There are several other groups' gifts waiting here too, so while you're here I recommend taking a peek.

I'm much more of a warm weather fan (not sweltering hot, just moderately warm) than cold, so this bikini is just another temptation to head to an SL beach! This is the !PCP :: Blossom Bikini gift from Pink Cream Pie, in a bold royal blue with straps that twist to resemble infinity symbols. The top and bottom each fit Freya, Legacy, and Maitreya bodies, and both have playful ruffles that add a bit of fluttery sex appeal. This store is well known for high quality fashions so I wasn't surprised at all to be so happy with this gift.

The VEGA : Mesh Dress Group Gift makes me think of autumn because of the earthy colors, but of course we can layer some leggings beneath for a more bundled up look if we wish :) The corset belt draws in the waist and gives an even more curvy appearance, and its solid brown matches the plaid dress beautifully. We receive sizing for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies when we claim this lovely gift.

Seniha's treat for us is a stunning duo of dresses called Dalia Dress // Gift. Version 1 is the pretty pink one on the left above, with v2 being captivating blue. Each comes in Freya, Isis, Hourglass, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh body sizes. I love the ruched style that draws the dress into the center, for a gentle V both top and bottom. 

My final look this evening has a different shade of blue, coincidental but all greatly appreciated. This is the A&J CREATION ALISON LACE DRESS BLUE gift for SLFO, and we can claim it in Belleza, eBody, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and Tonic Curvy sizes with our group tag. The style is sure to turn heads with its curving front opening that snakes its way down from neck to hem, tied just loosely enough to show off a tiny flash of skin. It also has a built in bolo type necklace, and an embossed floral motif as its stunning fabric pattern.

It was a fairly tame day, rainy and spent indoors focused on SL things and planning for the weekend. I'm having a houseguest to help me celebrate my birthday on Sunday, but their arrival late Friday will not interfere with my usual blogging schedule since they have to be back home by Sunday night. I keep things simple, food from a favorite restaurant (takeout) and time spent with the 4 people who mean the most to me. I hope you all have a fantastic day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

MGSN Group Goodies

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I explored to find some gifts for the MGSN group, which stands for Maitreya Gifts, Sales & News. It is not affiliated with the official Maitreya brand, but a collective of designers who create for their body (usually among others) and want to let Maitreya fans like myself know when they have something new or discounted. Many offer a free gift for anyone who visits them with the MGSN group tag active, and whether I feature them or not I am immensely grateful to each and every one :) My method for finding the gifts is to randomly look through group notices and visit the stores who are active to see what I can find. 

My first look this evening comes from GeMyles, and is their Celesta Outfit. You can find it upstairs near the lucky chairs with their other gifts for various groups, and just right click, pay $1L, and you will be refunded automatically while the gift is delivered. The off-shoulder top comes in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizes, while the leather mini skirt is provided in sizes for eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine bodies. The strappy boots fit Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique bodies. In addition to all of those, there is a HUD included with 32 colors we can choose from to tint the shirt and boots together. Against the black skirt and trim of the boots, all of the possible colors are going to look fantastic!

Another "don't miss" location is Tiffany Designs, where we have a fixed landing point so we click Gifts Room on the teleporter to find their ::TD:: Loli Dress {Mesh} ~ Model 1 gift for MGSN. This one-shouldered mini has a really great texture that looks to have materials enabled since it has a lot of reflectivity. The gift includes a fitmesh M size for classic avatars, along with sizing for Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Ocacin, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, Tonic Fine, and Voluptuous mesh bodies. I am inclined to add a bold pair of shoes either patterned or a bright solid color, and some similarly hued jewelry if I really want to jazz things up.

Next we have another black dress that is also far from basic :) This is the Fedra Sexy Silky Mini Dress from The Best Of Me, with a fun handkerchief hemline and peaked strapless neckline that is held in place by SL magic ;) There are sizes provided for Altamura Sofia, eBody Classic, eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh bodies. I am really fond of the pale gold trim, and the combo of black and gold in general, so this dress absolutely caught my eye.

[WellMade] has a room dedicated to group gifts, their own group and many others that of course includes MGSN. That is where I claimed the charming Quinn Dress you see here :) It comes in eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh body sizes, with a HUD offering both colors shown of the leopard print. Personally I prefer wearing artistic recreations of animal print like this, so that it is more an homage to mother nature's creativity with a playful twist.

For my final look of the evening, I visited {Le'La} and headed up the stairs to the group gifts wall and claimed this wonderful Zeya Outfit. Its cropped top and belted mini skirt each come in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique bodies, with a HUD offering 5 color choices for each. The blue denim panel on the skirt stays the same regardless of the color selected for the rest of the skirt, and I love the ability to mix and match. The style says spring to me, maybe because it covers the shoulders but bares the midriff and legs so we can enjoy some seasonal breezes.

Whew, what an evening! I got distracted by watching the Oscars because of the Will Smith and Chris Rock incident, and if you didn't see it I am sure you will hear about it soon enough. My thoughts are mixed on it, with my first reaction being that we don't hit people when we have a problem with them. Health conditions are no laughing matter though, so nobody was really right in my mind. Other than that, LOL, my weekend was pretty good and I had a nice time at the farmers market. I am still amused by the Boston terrier who makes dolphin sounds when he gets excited, and of course I was delighted to get to pet him. Anytime I get a chance to pet a friendly dog, with their human's permission, I will gladly do so :) It started raining a bit when I was almost ready to leave, so I was indoors for the bulk of the bad weather at least. I'm still wondering what made me decide to put on the Oscars when I don't usually watch any of the awards shows, it's like I sensed something worth witnessing was coming. Hmm. Oh well, I hope you all enjoyed your weekend, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

SL Frees and Offers

Hiya everyone! Tonight's post features several group gifts for the same group, SL Frees and Offers, or SLFO for short. There are so many participating designers all over the grid, and I am grateful to every single one of them :) The group is so helpful with its notices about sales and events, and the group chat in-world sometimes tells you about midnight mania boards that need clicking and other SLurls of that sort to visit. Did I mention that the group is free to join? :) With all these benefits, I have been a member for years and will never leave this group as it is one of my vital staples. 

My first stop was Tiffany Designs, where I headed upstairs (back left of the store) to claim their ::TD:: Tatiana Mesh Dress ~ Red. It has a gathered bodice decorated with butterflies, and high-low hemline with dramatic slit in the front. It comes in standard mesh sizes as well as eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Ocacin, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine versions. 

This is one of two gifts currently available for SLFO at AnaSTyle, and it is called Valentine's Day 2016. It's funny how it is 4 years old, yet looks just as pretty and playful as it did then :) The romper comes in fitmesh standard sizes plus Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink versions, and the gift also includes the unrigged shoes, heart bracelet, heart collar, and heart earrings. They all have resize scripts built in, and can be adjusted if needed.

This daring gown is the SLFO group gift from Alien Gizmo's called Lotus Dress. To find it, go to the left and head through the doorway labeled FREE, then turn right and you'll go through another FREE doorway. In that room, head to the back left corner :) Our gift includes standard mesh sizes along with versions for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP. There is also a HUD with 3 color choices, the two shown above and black. 

I also picked up the current SLFO gift at 1 Hundred. which is their Slink Dress. Pink. Don't let the name fool you, it fits more than just Slink mesh bodies ;) It includes Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique bodies, and has those flirty bare shoulders above the long sleeves and short skirt. The ruched style is accentuated by ties at each hip to bring them up even tighter, and the vibrant color is a real eye-catcher.

For my final look of the evening, I have alme. to thank, as it is their SLFO gift called Modern Gift - Red. These nail designs are compatible with Belleza, Maitreya, Omega, Slink, Tuty (not certain if that is their logo or not but I think so?) and Vista nails, with 3 designs. The heart cutouts are a romantic favorite, and the chevron (points) will look fantastic on stiletto shaped nails too. The diagonal slash catches the eye too, and it was a fun coincidence that most of tonight's clothing happened to be red to match.

Well, it has been a stressful evening from paying too much attention to the news, and I cannot pretend that I am completely calm about it. I am a worrier by nature, and was trying to be positive about things, but I am feeling less confident tonight. My main concerns are what it will affect, like will my local farmers market which is indoors decide to shut down? Will other sports follow the NBA's lead and end their seasons? That would be upsetting for me because hockey is so much a part of my distractions from the rest of this chaotic world. I am mostly concerned for the safety of my friends and family, and I do extend that friendship to include all of you :) I have read that staying hydrated is important as well as washing your hands, so I shall continue to do both and suggest the same to everyone. I hope you're all having a healthy and happy day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Womenstuff For the Weekend

Hiya everyone! Tonight is another terrific group of Womenstuff Hunt prizes, which could easily describe so many of these $0L or $1L prizes :) They can all be found inside hidden red t-shirts with green and brown stripes, not to be confused with prior rounds' solid red or red/white versions which are still hiding at some stores. The hunt's website has hints and landmarks, so you can find over 130 gifts for a total cost of less than an average outfit at full price. There is also a special sneak peek at the end of tonight's post, a 1 Linden 1 Hour offer that will be available at Entice on Sunday afternoon. Intrigued? Then please continue reading...

The charming dress from Tiffany Designs reminds me of a ballerina, perhaps influenced by my hairstyle a bit. ::TD:: Loris Mesh Dress ~ Purple is a strapless mini trimmed in lace, in sizes for standard, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP. Just find the free t-shirt to claim this beauty.

There is a $1L prize found at anny's Fashions, their [AF] Laurie MicroMini with flirty sheer panel zigzagging down the front. It comes in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP sizing, with a HUD that lets you pick from 5 colors to tint it. 

Next we have the free prize from Prism, their Daisy Dress by Jezzixa Fall Flowers. It is provided in 5 classic sizes and 5 fitmesh sizes, so it should be able to fit many classic avatar shapes and mesh bodies. The fun pattern has not only flowers, but acorns and leaves among the intriguing foliage.

There is something so appealing about the combination of red and black, like this beautiful gift from I.M.C. named WHunt Nov 19. The dress comes in Freya, Hourglass, Maitreya, and Tonic Curvy sizes, and has a tiny sheer panel at the waist with another at the neckline. It is so elegant with that pencil skirt, such a flattering shape.

You are probably familiar with 1 Linden 1 Hour, but just in case...it works just like the name sounds, with specially selected offers available on sale for just $1L but the catch is it's only that deeply discounted for one hour. Timing is everything :) So this gorgeous Entice - Alone Again - BlueGreen dress will be available Sunday (the 17th) from 1:00 to 2:00 PM, or 13:00 to 14:00 in what the USA calls military time but I have seen some countries use as their standard. If you are drawn to this striking pattern as I am, I hope you are able to be logged in and visiting Entice at that time. If not, or if you love the style but would enjoy it in different colors, then good news! Remember the Saturday Sale area I directed you to last night? Well they also have other colors and patterns of this Alone Again dress for sale at similar pricing. They are $99L each, regularly $200L, with a fatpack for $299L that is discounted from $599L. No matter which you choose, they come in a standard mesh size along with Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique versions.

I am a bit slow tonight as I am tired and was distracted by an infuriating hockey game. On a happier note, one of my favorite cooks made a homemade cream of chicken soup that might be the best soup I've ever tasted :) It is certainly the right weather for it, although I am one of those odd ducks who eats soup year round. I blame genetics, LOL, since my mom eats soup pretty much daily. I hope you're all enjoying your weekend, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Winter Wonderland

Hiya everyone! Tonight begins my coverage of the new round of The Wash Cart Sale called Winter Wonderland, which started today (the 12th) and ends on January 2nd so you have plenty of time to visit. There are dozens of carts with deeply discounted offers of $10L each, with a special selection at $50L per cart if the designer chooses. There are some impressive bargains there like clothing for the whole family, accessories (shoes, jewelry, etc.), home decor, and more. I also have a part two for you, the Free Dove hunt by Tiffany Designs which has you seeking small black boxes with gold Tiffany Designs logos at Free Dove and at their mainstore. Tonight's are all found at the mainstore, and I will suggest you check the room with group gifts and lucky boards because that is where I found all of them in this generously sized store :) That said, exploring the whole store could lead you to finding your next favorite wardrobe addition, so have fun shopping there too!

My first look of the evening is a flirty outfit you can find at the Dark Water Designs cart, for only $10L, called DWD - Winter Corset Outfit - Holly. It comes in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and a standard fitted version, with a HUD that lets you choose from 3 colors for the top, ribbon, and skirt trims. A fun bonus is that there are 3 candy cane headbands included too, red or white or green. They can be edited and adjusted to suit your head size and hair, which is always helpful. There are other versions of this outfit, as well as many other terrific choices on this cart (direct link in the ending credits) and you can visit their mainstore to see their entire lineup.

Next we visit the De'Fient Unicorn cart, where you could choose this adorable *DU*Wynter's Sweater Dress for a mere $10L. It includes standard fitmesh sizes along with eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Ocacin, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine versions. The included HUD offers 5 texture choices, and I must admit the sweet dog on the right might be my favorite ;) You can visit their mainstore by clicking here, and the link in the ending credits will whisk you directly to their cart.

Time to head over to Tiffany Designs, where there are 4 boxes waiting to be clicked with the Free Dove group tag active to claim these gifts. This lovely dress is in one, called TD Tina Dress with Appliers Red. The top and pants are in system layers plus appliers for Belleza, Maitreya, Omega, Slink, and TMP, while the skirt panel comes in standard mesh sizes. Another prize you can find is the beautiful shoes I paired with the dress, called TD Lily High Heels Cherry. They are included in Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink high sizes, and have really intriguing straps to add interest to any outfit.

Once I added the accessories from this prize, my only thought was "Fierce!". It is the TD Alexia Body Suit with Appliers *Pink, and the suit comes in system layers as well as appliers for Belleza, Maitreya, Omega, Slink, and TMP. Also included are the earrings, bracelet, feather boa, and sunglasses that add up to one impressive look.

The TD Glamour Mesh Gown Purple is sure to turn heads, since it is as alluring from the back as it is from the front. In standard mesh sizes, it has an intricate silvery butterfly filigree on the back, revealing a sexy glimpse of lower back. It also includes matching earrings and gem stone necklace, rather like a choker that suits the neckline wonderfully. 

Tonight took a really weird turn, and it took over 3 hours to try to fix things after a Windows update from hell. Unfortunately I will not be able to blog tomorrow, not so much because of the computer issues (although they didn't help) but because of an eye exam that will involve dilating my pupils twice. That takes time, and I probably won't be able to see well enough by the evening to blog. I expect to be back Friday evening blogging, and I have plenty of fantastic things to show you. Have a great evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
