Vanity Group Gifts

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we are exploring the VANITY EVENT, where you can find plenty of high quality offers and a bright spiral Christmas tree in the middle of the room that has presents galore. You will need the free Vanity event group tag to claim them, then just give each box a click to receive the treats their designers have chosen for us. I am impressed by and grateful for all of these thoughtful gifts, and if you are too then please head over there before Christmas day (December 25th) when this round closes. 

This striking dress is the NOEL gift from MELODY. It is a dramatic deep burgundy hue, and comes in Freya, Legacy, Legacy Perky, and Maitreya sizing. All those playful cutouts really caught my eye, revealing yet covering everything crucial ;) 

Perhaps this holiday season you plan on spending some quality time with someone special, and want something flirty that reflects the time of year. If so, the gift from BlackOpium might be just what you're looking for! Their lovely Dahlia XMAS lingerie consists of the babydoll and panties each in Freya, Isis, Hourglass, and Maitreya mesh body sizes. The slightly sheer fabric is a beautiful lacy material, including the white ruffles and belt, adding to the flirt factor.

Next I slipped into the gift from EROTI-K called SHURI DRESS Christmas. This red slip dress has white spaghetti straps that cross in the back and matching white ruffled trim at the brief hemline, with side slits that show off the hips. It is provided in sizes for Freya, Hourglass, Legacy, Legacy Perky, Maitreya, and Maitreya Petite bodies. 

I'm sure you noticed that many of the gifts are red, well this one has a color HUD with 6 choices and yes, one is red, but for variety's sake I chose two others to share ;) KEY STYLE's gift box on the tree holds their Beverly Dress for all group members, and it is provided in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizing. The peekaboo styling is so pretty, and the sparkly top is slightly see-through. Between those and the very short skirt, this dress has a lot of sex appeal!

For my final look of the evening, we owe thanks to SCANDALIZE for their Alasa Fatpack gift on the tree. This cleverly designed dress has long sleeves with feathery fringe on the cuffs to match the trim alongside the sheer beaded panel on the skirt. The top has a sheer panel too, so this gift is quite the visual treat. It comes in sizes for Freya, Isis, Hourglass, Legacy, and Maitreya bodies, and there are 3 HUDs provided as well. One is for the metals and transparency (those sheer panels) and offers 4 color choices for the metals with 42 for both transparent parts at once. The next one is for the top, 42 solid colors and 42 glitter textures that match wonderfully. The HUD for the skirt has the same 42 solids and 42 glitters to choose from, all for your mixing and matching pleasure. 

The weekend is here, and I am glad that it is the next to last one of 2020 since we all deserve for this troublesome year to end and a new one to bring better opportunities :) The farmers market I go to on Saturdays is open tomorrow for the last time this year, as it will be closed the day after Christmas. I will be wishing lots of people happy holidays tomorrow, no matter what they celebrate, and I generally wind up returning their wishes with the same wording they use. The people are from a variety of cultures and backgrounds, which I enjoy because I learn about places I've never been and get to appreciate the cuisine they bring to the market. Meanwhile I hope you all have a fantastic weekend ahead, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Vanity Anniversary

Hiya everyone! Tonight there are a few more group gifts I would like to show you from the VANITY event's first anniversary round. Their group is free to join, and this round is open until the 25th of July (a special family birthday for me) so you have time to visit and enjoy. Almost every participating designer is offering a group gift for the celebration, so there are dozens and dozens of treats for you to claim.

This vibrant outfit is the Paris Vanity Gift from Rosary, with a bra, sheer jacket, and matching pants each in Freya, Hourglass, and Maitreya sizes. The pattern is very tropical, and the colors made me smile. Another gift that makes me smile is the -:zk:- Sensual Romance Necklace, a choker style with pretty bow. It includes a HUD that offers 22 color choices, so you can change it to match any outfit.

The necklace from -:zk:- looks adorable with this gift too, the B BOS - Maddi Bikini - Pink Flower. It is provided in a Maitreya size, in a very revealing style that covers a bare minimum with tiny triangles of floral fabric. The bows on each hip are similar to the necklace, so that too makes it a natural pairing.

We have one more glimpse of the necklace here, with the gift from AVALE called Amy Shirt - White. It is included in Freya, Hourglass, Maitreya, and TMP sizes, and the deep neckline really flatters the cleavage. I am wearing it with a favorite marketplace gift, jeans from Delizio that come in several colors as system layers plus Maitreya and Omega appliers.

The gift from [Glitzz] is their Glenda Bikini in Lilac, a slender tube top and string bikini bottom with beaded laces. Each piece comes in sizes for Freya, Hourglass, Maitreya, and Legacy for classic avatars. There is also a HUD provided with 3 metals for the clasp at the hips. I have to wonder what my avi was up to on her new Little Fox Kitty Phone, maybe sending Xan a selfie or browsing twitter...you can claim this cute pink phone at Vanity just like I did, and it has a built in holding animation as you can see.

My final look of the evening is a closer view of the eyeshadows I have been enjoying tonight, the gift from RichB which is their Eyeshadow #04 HUD for Genus. It has 6 different color combinations, all of which are so lovely and will flatter any eye color.

Hair note of the night: Truth Hair's VIP group has a new gift in their group notices, so if you are a member ($350L to join) be sure to grab this terrific gift! It has their new texture HUDs that also have a Stylist tab on each, so you can wear each side behind or in front of the shoulder. The bangs and waves remind me of my RL hair, other than mine being a bit curlier and maybe a little longer. The gift includes the full fatpack of color HUDs, so whatever your preferred hue may be, they have you covered. 

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

Vanity Group Gifts

Hiya everyone! Tonight because it's the weekend, I decided we should have just one place to visit for all of my looks of the evening. That place is the VANITY Event, who are celebrating their first anniversary with group gifts from just about every designer who is participating :) The event lasts until the 25th of July, so you have plenty of time to stop by and claim some terrific gifts.

My first look is the gift from Blanco called BC. Stasia. Fatpack. It comes in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, and Hourglass mesh bodies, with a HUD that lets you choose from 10 solid colors and 3 patterns. The style is delightful, with a wide plunging neckline and high-low hem.

Next we have the BlackOpium outfit called Maria BubbleGum, a lovely skirt set. The top and skirt each come in floral and solid versions, in sizes for Freya, Isis, Hourglass, and Maitreya. The tops have a trio of holes in the upper left, and the skirts have pockets which is always a fun feature.

A great way to liven up a weekend is with flirty lingerie, like this generous gift from N-Uno. This is their Kailey Set // N 3, a coral pink colored bra and panty crafted with lace and satin. They come in a Maitreya size.

Have Unequal is offering a playful pair of bodysuits, their [HU] Cody_Body_Orange&Red_Maitreya. There are versions with and without the lace down the center, and both have the single sleeve and large round openings on one side. There is a HUD included that lets you choose from 5 metals for the rings on that side, so these suits are versatile as well as pretty.

My final look of the night is a radiant set of mesh nails from Prada Beauty. Their gift is called Pride Nails Bento Lara&Slink, and they do include a set for each mesh hands. They are stiletto shaped and have a rainbow of glitter across the middle, although the tips and cuticle ends remind me of Dorothy's ruby slippers :) The bold colors will look gorgeous with a wide variety of outfits, and really pop against black or other neutrals.

When I got home this afternoon I watched the last two episodes of Stranger Things, and (no spoilers) I am still feeling a bit shell-shocked. It was more emotional than I expected, which speaks to how attached I get to characters in shows, books, movies, etc. That also points to the characters being well written and evolved to give me reasons to feel something for them. Overall it was a good day, other than my being really tired for some reason. I hope you are all enjoying your weekend, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

The Wash and VANITY

Hiya everyone! Tonight we have several selections from the Wash Cart Sale and their Sizzling Summer round, which is open until the 24th of July. The carts have offers discounted to $10L-$25L with a special $50L optional per cart, so it is well worth visiting. Most carts with clothing have demos so you can try things on first, and there are accessories and home decor too. Another event I couldn't resist is the VANITY anniversary round, as they are celebrating their first anniversary with gifts from nearly every participating designer. Just join their free group and you can claim dozens of presents by visiting before the 25th of the month.

Our first stop is the -CroM- cart at The Wash, with an array of selections like Joana - Blue on the left and Zorana Overalls Shorts and Shirt - Dark seen on the right. The lovely Joana dress comes in fitmesh standard sizes plus Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink versions, with one strap slid off the shoulder suggestively. The Zorana outfit includes the overalls and the shirt each in fitmesh (S, M, L) sizes along with Freya, Venus, Maitreya, Ocacin, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, Tonic Fine, and Voluptuous versions. The Joana dress is among the $10L choices, and Zorana is one of the $25L selections. They can all be found at the cart, directly linked in my ending credits, and don't forget to visit the -CroM- mainstore by clicking here.

Mishmash Fusion has some great offers at their cart too, as usual :) The dress on the left is their ~*MF*~ Chevron Beach Dress - Gold and Pink, one of several vibrant versions for $10L each. It comes in eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizes. There is even a version that is a free gift this round, so be sure to pick that up when you visit. On the right I am enjoying the ~*MF*~ No Secrets Mini - Greens, one of a handful of colors for this flirty set that are just $25L each at the cart sale. There are solid and pattern versions of the dress included, each in standard mesh sizes along with Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine sizing. There is also a HUD included with 8 colors for the laces on the left thigh. You can visit the Mishmash Fusion mainstore by clicking here, and your limo directly to their cart is in my ending credits.

Now we head to the VANITY event, with their free group tag active, and click some gift boxes! This charming dress is the gift from Candy Kitten, called *CK* Aloriana dress v1 Vanity special. It is provided in sizes for Freya, Hourglass, and Maitreya, with a HUD that lets you choose from 5 textures for the dress, 5 colors for the skirt and belt, and 3 for the lace beneath the skirt.

This gift from .:Beyond:. is sure to bring out the animal in you! The bandeau style bra and thong that looks like you are in the process of slipping out of, each come in Freya, Isis, Hourglass, and Maitreya sizes. There is also a HUD for a healthy splash of versatility, with 20 colors in solid and pattern each for 3 sections of the look: bra, thong, and strap. You can mix and match these to your heart's delight.

My final look of the evening is the flirty gift from American Bazaar called [AB] Jenny Bodysuit Pink. It comes in Freya, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizes, with high cut hips and a touch of lacing in the front. The color looks a little purplish in my windlight settings, something like a soft lavender, and I am a big fan :)

So much to do the next few days, I really need more hours in a day or something. I know I will enjoy dinner at my parents', so I am looking forward to that tomorrow. Actually next weekend will be the busy one, as I have company coming for a few days, but I'm focusing on this weekend first of course. I hope you're all having a terrific day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
