Kawaii Project

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we're heading to the Kawaii Project, whose current round has lots of group gifts waiting for us inside black lanterns with assorted colored glass (mostly yellow but I saw pink and purple among the hues). All you need is their free group tag active, then click all the lanterns you can find to claim these generous treats :) The hovertext said something like spooky gifts, but I'd say there is a mix of Halloween themed and not, especially since this round of the event is open until the 12th of November. The gifts I'm sharing are a reflection of that mixture, with a cup that has the word Halloween on it but other offerings being more subtle or suitable for all year long. If you see the word 'kawaii' and think uh-oh cute stuff, LOL, well there is some but it's not a requirement by any means and the offers seem to lean more towards sexy than cutesy. I noticed the newer body brands getting more love here too, with a few designers not even creating for Maitreya (hence my switch to my Legacy body tonight, very grateful I bought it to be honest) so I do hope you stop by and enjoy.


My first look this evening is certainly on the sensuous side, thanks to NAE-GA and their MIN-JI TOP&PANTY gift. Our bra top and thong panty will each fit Kupra Bimbo, Legacy, Reborn, and Reborn Juicy Boobs bodies, with a HUD that offers 5 colors each for the top, panty, and laces. The bows on the hips are the laces portion mentioned on the HUD, and they are such a fun touch :) I was intrigued by the slender bra cups and the way the straps meet in the middle of the back, something I think would be great in RL to keep the straps from sliding off the shoulders. Being able to mix and match the colors is always appreciated too, for those of us who crave variety :)


If you've had a long day or evening, and need something tasty to sip on, I highly recommend the {U:Refined} Halloween Cutie Cup [Orange] gift. As for what's in there, well I have no idea but I'd go with iced fruit juice of some sort for myself. The cup says Halloween Cutie on the front with a witch hat above the W, a jack o'lantern and broom beneath, and I think I saw a bat as well as some stars :) The cup has a built in holding pose that you can see here, low enough on the cup to be able to see the design quite well.


Here I kept on the panties but changed into the Lichia - Nara Top gift, a lovely little tube top with enough cutouts that it looks like the two bra cups are held in place by a top and bottom band. There are Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn sizes included of this playful slip of a top, and it will look just as cute with your favorite jeans as with a flowing maxi skirt if that's what you desire.


If you recognize those panties again, good eye ;) They also helped me show off our Eden by Eve // Gathered Tank - Halloween Gift Edition treat, so I am very grateful. The top will fit Anatomy, Kupra, Legacy, Reborn, Reborn Juicy, Reborn EBT, Reborn EHT, Reborn Mounds, Reborn Teacups, Reborn V-Tech Flat, Reborn Waifu, Gen X Classic, and Gen X Curvy mesh bodies (geez I've never typed the word Reborn so much in one post!) and there is a HUD with 3 fun textures. The one not shown is a reverse of the purple and white on the left, and I really like them all so the hardest part will be choosing which to wear first.


For my final look of the evening, I got to reminisce about my lifelong Hello Kitty fondness with our gift from CAKE called [$] Spooky Szn Set [HK ZOMBIE]. The zombie aspect gives it a strong feeling of "not just for kids", and the style is a cross between flirty and comfy cozy. The bra and boxers are each provided in sizing for BBL, BBW, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh bodies, with the store brand on the elastic bands of each. The design is clever with little miss Kitty wearing a tattered dress and sporting a scar from stitches on her head, but her traditional pink bow is intact. She may be doing a bit of a Frankenstein walk there, based on the arms and legs extended...at least she can't bite us because Hello Kitty has no mouth, at least not a visible one in most images of her ;) I remember having toys of hers when I was itty bitty, then I collected again very seriously in the 90s/00s, so seeing her in any form will always make me smile.

It will probably be Halloween by the time most of you read this, so I'll wish you a very Happy Halloween and wishes that all your tricks turn out to be treats :) My neighborhood is part of a school district that does a trunk-or-treat thing at the school, so the kids don't come around and I'm at the end of a dead end street anyway so they really never did. No candy here, and I didn't really decorate so it is a quiet kind of day which I don't mind. I have been thinking back to taking my younger cousins out trick-or-treating in my grandma's neighborhood for several years, fond memories and 4 of her siblings lived within a couple blocks so we got to show them all the boys' costumes in person that way. I hope you're all having a wonderful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Autism Awareness Hunt Nails and More

Hiya everyone! Tonight I am sharing some final gifts from the Autism Awareness Hunt 2016 Light It Up Blue, organized by Nail It Good!. I had been mentioning that I would show a closer look at my nails each night that I blogged it so far, well I am doing so tonight along with 2 lovely necklaces and a cute top. It's a great way to wrap up coverage of this fun hunt :)


First we have the Hanna Bralet by U:Refined in Colorblock B/Bl which is their prize for the hunt. It comes in several fitmesh sizes including Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink versions. My charming statement necklace is the prize from Ruxy called Summer Day Special, and with all those flowers it's sure to make any day (or evening) feel special.


Same cute bralet, but this time I am showing off the ~Mesh Glam~ hunt gift of their Light It Up Blue Necklace. As you can see, there is a blue light bulb on it along with a multicolor puzzle piece upon a dark cord. I think the cord gives it a casual touch and the bright colors mean it can go with a wide variety of outfits.


On to the nails, let's start out with Nail It Good!, the organizers of this hunt, and their prize featuring 6 designs on a HUD for Slink, Omega, Belleza, and Maitreya. There are plenty of bright colors to add a spark to any outfit.


Next we have the prize from Rad Designs, another generous set of 6 designs which are compatible with Slink, Omega, and Maitreya nails. This set brings those primary colors to life, with playful designs such as puzzle pieces and handprints.


Finally we have the LIVIA hunt prize, My Heart Nails for Slink/Omega/Maitreya. I adore the soft shades of blue and the delicate heart designs, of which there are 5 variations plus the ombre background without any hearts so you can mix and match. 

We did it, we made it to Friday and get to enjoy another wonderful weekend!!! I will be exploring a farmers market or two, and getting some more food for the critters outside (bird seed and deer feed) whose visits are always a bright spot in any day. Earlier I saw the groundhog and 6 deer, including the one missing part of her hoof, so she's still out there doing well. I hope you all have a beautiful weekend, magical magpie hugs to each of you!
