Hiya everyone! Tonight we're visiting the Delphinium region of the SL23B Shop & Hop event, one of 24 (18 moderate, 6 adult) regions packed with top designers who have carefully chosen discounted offers and free gifts for us. As always I suggest checking out the FabFree spreadsheet of gifts which you can sort with the tabs on the bottom by type, store name (alphabetical), region and more. They work so hard each round and deserve all of our gratitude, much like the wonderful designers :)
For my first look of the evening, I chose the playful !PCP:: Debbie [SummerVibes] outfit from Pink Cream Pie. This gift includes the top and skirt in sizing for Lara X, Petite X, Legacy. and Reborn mesh bodies, along with a HUD to choose from 24 colors for the built in panties and 5 metals for our zipper. It has an option to toggle the panties off/on too, so the skirt is really versatile :) I love the summer vibes image on the cropped tee, with popular nods to that theme like the sunshine, watermelon, tropical flowers, sunglasses, and a gorgeous sunset beach scene.
I'm feeling particularly alluring in our Stiff - Minori Bodysuit - Solena gift, and really enjoying that deep olive color! There are sizes for Lara X, Legacy, Bombshell, Reborn, and Waifu bodies included. The bare shoulders go so well with the plunging neckline, and the high cut legs lead to a narrow thong in the rear which is why you aren't seeing a second view ;)
Next I had some fun trying on the purplemoon treat called :: pm :: Mabel Dress SL23B Gift. There is something so lovely about the purple and white blossoms on a pale background, yet trimmed in dark edging to really show off the low cut bodice and flared skirt. We get to look fantastic in Lara X, Petite X, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, and Reborn mesh body sizes :)
It always amuses me to try on a black dress while thinking about the concept of a Little Black Dress. I expect those to be simple and rather ordinary, but our fashions in SL are anything but! Our {S&C} Lana T Dress gift from Spells & Charms is probably named for Lana Turner (Golden Age of Hollywood is the general theme of the event) and the dress is every bit as stunningly glamorous as she was :) It fits Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, and Reborn mesh bodies, with playful insets of lace at the bust and the left thigh where the skirt has been slit.
My final look of the evening is a closeup view of our gift from VENGE, their Stiletto Nail LITE - 'Balance'. Who couldn't use a little more balance in their lives these days? :) These mesh nails come in sizes for Legacy, Maitreya, Reborn, and Signature Alice mesh bodies, just use the body's HUD to hide its built in nails and add the correct size to your outfit. The enclosed HUD for our nails offers 5 designs that can be applied to thumb, index, middle, ring, and pinky, via the initials alongside each design. I've got one design on each pair of fingers, and the traditional yin yang designs on the pinky and thumb are reverse images of one another. The index and ring fingers show koi designs, which I also adore and will gladly wear.
Whew, what a weekend! The heat was brutal, but I did make it to the farmers market on Saturday morning (much to the surprise of one of the vendors, LOL) although it was pretty uncomfortable. They had free hot dogs for the holiday, but I can't eat beef or soy and those were the two options. I passed on those but bought a few treats to enjoy during the week :) Tonight has been stormy and nerve-wracking, like a little while ago when the lights blinked off and my PC shut but the TV and fan stayed on. We have flood warnings too, which is common whenever we have lots of rain and doesn't usually affect my neighborhood too much. My anxiety support group has a meeting tomorrow evening, so I am looking forward to that as I'd missed the last one due to tornadoes in the next town over. No repeats of that mess please! I'm starting to wonder what I will do for a quick dinner beforehand since I finished the BBQ leftovers earlier, so I'll figure that out later. I hope you're all having a peaceful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
