Gifts from Cremosas Store

 Hiya everyone! Tonight's post brings us to Cremosas Store, who offer monthly calendars full of gifts for their free group. They also have a paid VIP group with even more benefits, but the calendar and some treats on the wall next to it (an outcropping with other brands) are ours too with that non-VIP group tag. I recognized several of the gifts from last January, so if you missed out on them it's a great opportunity to pick them up this year :) The free group also gains access to the lucky boards nearby, but luck was not on my side tonight so none of those to share at the moment. I also switched back to my Maitreya body from the Legacy beauty tonight, for two reasons...one is that these outfits are not Legacy compatible, but another is I needed to redeliver the Lara and Lara X body from the HUD because they've update to Lara X 1.1 with some tweaks like a butt deformer to fix issues with lower slider numbers. Lara 5.3 is still the same, but I wanted to have the newest Lara X on hand and wanted to remember to let you all know in case you hadn't heard the news.

For my first look, I picked out the seductive Cremosas Store - Gift Jan 2 treat which is on day #2 of that calendar I mentioned. The bodice of this strapless mini is solid, while the rest of it is a loose crochet type weave that can really show off your assets if you catch my drift ;) We receive sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies, and I do plan on adding some panties (a nice BOM layer in white) for public wear.

As I sit in RL amidst 6" of snow, I am extra grateful for the SL opportunity to visualize a beach escape in our Cremosas Store - Gift Jan 13. This bold orange swimsuit and matching coverup are each included in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh body sizes. The swimsuit is laced very loosely in the front, and cut high on the thigh to create a thong in the rear. The simplicity of the sheer gauzy coverup in a very similar orange hue made me smile, as they just work so well together and the color has me thinking of a warm sunset.

The Cremosas Store - Gift Jan 18 is a playful style with bare shoulders above long sleeves that have ribbons laced through the top and tied in pretty bows. The bodycon dress fits Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies, in a unique shade of what I want to call golden olive green? Clearly I don't work for pantone and do not know really specific color shades, LOL, but this one feels special because of being not run-of-the-mill. 

Sporty meets sexy with our -RBLC- Dress Ursula HUD 30 MODELS gift! As I mentioned there is a small section with about 6 gifts that are brands other than Cremosas, well this (obviously) is one of those :) The dress has one long sleeve opposing a bare left arm, in mesh fabric that calls to mind a sports jersey. We receive sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP mesh bodies, along with the HUD referenced in the item name with 30 color combinations. I had fun as always clicking all the buttons, lol, and really like the variety it offers. 

For my final look of the evening, I chose the Uncharted - (17) Dress + HUD 16 Colors gift from that same area. This little magpie loves her denim, as seen in the last 2 posts as well I believe, so I am very grateful for this goodie :) In sizes for eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies as well as a standard fitted size for classic avatars, the dress has a bare back and plunging neckline with tiny ruffles on the sides and skirt hem. All 16 colors on the aforementioned HUD are delightful denim textures, so please picture my avi doing a little happy dance ;)

Whew, what a day! I mentioned last night that my doctor scheduled me for a phone visit for today at 11:30AM, so I was ready and waiting...and waiting...at 11:49 she texted that she was running behind but hadn't forgotten me. 2 hours later I decided that enough was enough and I was too sleep-deprived to sit there staring at the phone any longer, so I texted her back that I was feeling unwell and had to get some rest so please let me know what day next week would be more suitable for her. She replied immediately with an apology (sure, Jan) and excuses, but no date or time for the reschedule. Deep sigh. She can't have me next Friday as that is my birthday celebration (a few days early but whatever) and I refuse to let her ruin that. Meanwhile we got lots of snow as expected, and I've been using my portable heater quite a bit to keep the fingers and toes from aching from cold. They are more sensitive to temperature changes from the neuropathy, it's really like 66 or 67 in the house I think, so nothing concerning and I am grateful to have power and food and all the essentials. I hope you all have a safe and cozy weekend ahead, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Mesh Body Friends Gifts

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I decided to explore the Mesh Body Friends group's participating designer's stores to see what generous group gifts are currently available for anyone who joins this free group. As you will see, I found several treats that I am pleased to share so you too can visit these top notch stores. 

My first look of the evening is the &ML& GROUP GIFT Sundress (green) by MyLord&MyLady, whose store is new to me so I am happy for the motivation to visit :) The sweet dress comes in sizes for Altamura, eBody Curvy, Freya, Hourglass, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite mesh bodies. I really like the embroidered design on the front, and the plaid bust and ruffle whose colors go so well with the pale mint green of the bodice. 

There is something special about red hued clothing, like this sexy Lori Dress by K-Style. It is a single piece with the look of two, and has been created to fit the Maitreya mesh body. We don't even need to unpack it since it is just the one size. The knit texture adds interest, and the accessorizing possibilities are endless.

I also visited [ LsR ] where there are multiple gifts, so I started with their Sexy Mayen Pink MBF Group Gift. This daring bodysuit is pale pink fishnet trimmed with darker pink ruffles and flower, and is provided in sizes for Freya, Isis, Hourglass, Legacy, and Maitreya bodies. The fishnet texture makes it look like I pixelated the nipples at first glance, which amused me and made me decide not to further censor it ;)

Another thoughtful gift you will find here is the [ LsR ] - Sexy Adari Sweet sweater, of which there are 4 different versions each offered in Freya, Isis, Hourglass, Legacy, and Maitreya sizes. They are all buttoned very loosely down the front, so I added one of my favorite pairs of jeans to cover the bare necessities...they are the blue pair from the Delizio marketplace gift that appear here fairly often. There are several colors in system/BOM layers along with Maitreya and Omega appliers, so classic avatars and most mesh body wearers can enjoy.

My final look this evening is found at Uncharted and is called Dress Yellow - Black. This group gift includes sizes for eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies. The colors are a classic combination, and the tulip skirt really shows off every curve.

I have a slight headache so I will wrap this up very simply, with wishes for a beautiful day/evening and magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Looking Fabulous for Free

Hiya everyone! For tonight's blog I wanted to find some free looks either for summer or year round wear, and naturally the FabFree group came to mind. The inworld group for the Fabulously Free in SL blog, their group tag (free to join) entitles us to gifts from many of their participating designers. The blog is always a great source of information on bargains and freebies too, I never miss a post and have been a loyal reader for nearly all of my second life. There are always plenty of generous gifts available, so I knew I could find some treats to show you :)

This is our group gift from Snowpaws called Colette Blouse & Skirt Outfit - Miu Fern. Each piece comes in a fitted size plus Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique versions for a great fit, and the colors are subtle so you can accessorize with bright colors for contrast or go neutral to match. Just click the box on the floor to claim it, with your FabFree group tag active.

Next I headed to Brandy's Boutique, where upstairs we can find several group gifts including this BB Sakura Silk Kimono Coral for FabFree. The kimono dress comes in fitmesh standard sizes plus Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink versions, and there is a HUD provided so you can choose if you want the back bow to be solid black or in the patterned fabric as shown on the right. The shoes are included too, in sizes for Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink High. To claim this one, please have your tag active and you'll need to pay the sign $1L but it will be immediately refunded. Some vendor systems just seem to need to do that to create a record of the 'sale'.

Uncharted has their alluring Dress 8 - Red as their gift for the FabFree group, and it is a very flirty style with that plunging neckline and slits at each thigh. The dress is provided in sizes for eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine. In the middle of the store there are displays of boxes with various group logos on them, so just find the rainbow striped FabFree logo to claim this beauty.

I also visited Alias! where I picked up this outfit called Maple w/Bleach Blue Jeans. It comes with the top and capris each in standard mesh sizes as well as Eve Pulpy, Eve Slim, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine versions, with a HUD for the top to tint it in any color via RGB wheel. The shoes you see are included too, for Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink High feet. From the landing area you will want to head west to find this store by the way, just a handy tip.

For my final look of the evening, we have the FabFree group gift from AsHmOoT called SW CoLL 3 StRipes Bikini, a fun look with multiple straps on the top and pretty watercolor shades. It comes in system layers plus appliers for Maitreya and Omega, so it is suitable for just about any mesh body or classic avatar.

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