Third Life Group Gifts

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we are exploring several stores of designers who participate in the Third Life group, which has a small $10L fee to join which is probably to protect from spammers and scammers. I've been a member for several years, and have gotten plenty of handy tips about special offers, sales, gifts, and even some stores that were new to me. I hope you enjoy your visits to these stores as much as I did :)

My first look this evening comes from ConTrato (new to me) called Sunny Skirt & Top - Model 5. The cinched bandeau and maxi skirt are each provided in standard mesh sizes along with Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh body sizes. The top's solid color is a great match for one of the hues in the swirling pattern of the skirt, making them a very nicely coordinated outfit.

I also visited the Alma Miranda store where I found this lovely SAILOR EMBROIDERY MAXI DRESS as their current Third Life group gift. It has a fun mix of patterns and a 3D design on the bodice that usually looks like spiral flowers but in this texturing reminds me of a swirl of rope that would be very suitable for a nautical themed dress. There are 5 fitmesh standard sizes as well as Maitreya and Slink versions included in this gift. 

While I have referenced warmer weather on my blog lately, I fully recognize that other parts of the world (waves to Australia and New Zealand readers) are entering winter soon and that even more importantly we can find any climate we wish in SL no matter what the calendar says. So I was very pleased to claim the VERTIGO gift for Third Life called AISLING SWEATER DRESS. Its lush knit texture works so well with the style, from pert hood to darker band at the hem. This flattering dress fits Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies. 

Next we head to [WellMade] who are very generous to both their own group and many other multi-designer groups, as evidenced by the wonderful Amaya Dress GIFT for Third Life. This bubble dress is provided in eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh body sizes, with a HUD offering 2 choices each for the dress and its built in belt. The blue and teal colors for the belt are very similar, and both look great with either pattern hues. 

Interestingly, the colors from my final look this evening are much like shades found in the WellMade gift :) This one however is a lingerie set from SpicySecrets which is called SS GIFT FOR THIRD LIFE. It was my first visit to this store, so I am very pleased to make their acquaintance :) The bra and panties are included in system/BOM layers plus appliers for Belleza, Maitreya, and Omega, so they are compatible with classic avatars and most popular mesh bodies. I really like the layered look, and the bright colors are certainly a fun touch. 

How was everyone's weekend? Mine was better than expected since the storm system apparently steered away from my area for the most part. The weather Saturday morning was terrific for the farmers market, and that put me in a happy frame of mind for the rest of the weekend. The houseguest arrived soon after I got home from the market, and will be leaving in the morning. Nothing major to say there, I have just been hanging out up here and trying to be extra quiet. I am literally awake the entire time he is asleep, so I make an effort to be polite about voice chatting, laughing, whatever might be disruptive. Oh well, I hope you're all having a fantastic day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Waiting For a Star To Fall

Hiya everyone! Tonight I have some Stay at Home Club gifts to share from very generous designers. These particular stores have multiple gifts for us, so we are only visiting two locations for all of these looks :) It is so thoughtful of all the participants to brighten our SL days with gifts while encouraging us to remain safe during these uncertain times, and I am comforted by knowing there are so many caring people out there. I went random with the title tonight, an 80s song that I heard while trying to come up with a title. 

First we visit VERTIGO, where there is a Stay at Home Club gift outside the front door and two more inside the store. This one is called Sarita Minijumper, and is linked together to wear as one piece with the look of a cropped tank and short overalls. It includes sizes for Altamura, eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP mesh bodies. 

More flirty shorts for the summer! This is their Ursula Outfit gift, whose top and shorts each come in standard mesh sizes plus Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP versions. The tiny polka dots on the silky top really caught my eye, and the shorts have the cutest little zipper in the back with dainty buttons on the front.

This gift is from VERTIGO too, and is called *Mysteria* Peace and love lingerie set. The bra and thong style panties are each provided in standard mesh sizes along with Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP body versions. The words on the pattern include love, peace, and flower power, so that is right up my alley!

Our other stop this evening is called Sinful Delights, and one of their terrific gifts is this Comic Nit Dress. It has a playful pattern with action words like BAM and POW, and the style has revealing features like the plunging back that shows a tiny hint of bum cleavage. Our gift contains sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies. To claim this gift, please pay the vendor $1L and you will be automatically refunded. 

My final look of the evening is comprised of 3 generous Sinful Delights gifts for the Stay at Home Club, all of which can be worn together or mixed with anything you wish. These also have vendors that you will need to pay $1L to receive the gifts, but it will be promptly refunded while the gift is delivered. The top is our Galaxy Tank Top gift, and the matching loose-fitting cuffed pants are called Galaxy Pants. Each come in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique bodies. The dazzling tiptoe sneakers are the Galaxy Sneakers gift, in sizes for Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink High feet, with the same texture on the body as the clothing but with color variations on the tongue and laces. The studs and loose laces really add to the fun of this style, and part of me wants to wear them with everything! 

It was a calm, almost dull day here, although very hot outside so I am glad to have a ceiling fan keeping me comfortable. I had a very strange dream, then one that was about hockey which I expect is because the NHL is resuming the season very soon. I am equal parts excited and nervous about it, as I miss it but am concerned for the health of all the players/staff and their families. We have someone on the official roster who just completed cancer treatment a few weeks ago, and I am downright terrified for him. One of his teammates is still wearing a hospital bracelet as a keepsake from his wife giving birth a few days ago to their first child, so that is his inspiration but also a reason to be extra careful. This has just been such a wild in so many ways! I hope you are all having a beautiful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Stylish At Home

Hiya everyone! Tonight I visited a few more stores who are offering Stay at Home Club gifts, and found that two of them had two gifts waiting to surprise me :) They are listed on the website by date added, so I am guessing that both of these generous designers added them at different times. One was popular so they decided to brighten our second lives with another? :) I am so appreciative of all the thoughtful people who have contributed to this wonderful effort, reminding us to stay at home and stay safe while enjoying free gifts of all types. Be sure to check all the different categories when you visit their website, I think you will be as impressed as I am.

My first stop was VERTIGO, where I was delighted to find two gifts for the Stay at Home Club. This is their Hope Camo Jacket Fatpack, a trio of colors (brown being the one not shown above) each in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies. Now I misinterpreted the photo and quickly realized when I first tried it on that I would need a shirt for beneath (or I would be giving you quite a show!) so I opened up the marketplace and found this Floral tank top for free from .:nilla:. . It comes in 5 colors as system/BOM layers along with Omega appliers, so it is compatible with classic avatars and many mesh bodies. The jeans are a marketplace gift too, the Delizio set that appears here fairly often on my blog.

The jeans from Delizio came in handy for the other VERTIGO gift called Monica Cardigan with HUD. It is provided in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizes, and the aforementioned HUD offers 4 textures for the cardigan and 3 colors for the shirt built in beneath. The cardigan is full length with slits on each side, especially fun for spring or autumn.

I also stopped by M&M Style, where I found double the prizes for double the fun :) Their MELI dress is a dark denim trimmed in crimson and accentuated by two pastel flowers. The style is flirty with the right side drawn up and tied to show even more upper leg. It includes sizes for eBody Classic, eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Signature, Star, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh bodies.

This is the M&M STYLE-ABBIE gift, a seductive strapless mini made of denim and trimmed in scalloped white. The hemline is unique, as it rises up toward the left side from the front but towards the right hip from behind, so there are two triangular points. The rear view is a bit cheeky ;) It comes in Altamura, eBody Classic, eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Legacy Perky, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Signature, Star, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine sizing. 

One final look for this evening, we have the gift from AlaFolie called Pineapple. This dress has separate sleeves so you can choose to wear it with or without, which adds an extra touch of versatility. Both pieces are included in sizing for Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, Tonic Fine, and Ruth bodies. The vibrant colors really do brighten the mood, and it is a flattering style being very shapely.

I hope you are all having a decent day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Are You a Fitmesh Fanatic?

Hiya everyone! Tonight we are exploring the gifts for the Fitmesh Fanatics group, which is free to join and will keep us informed of sales and new releases from participating designers. The group tag also entitles us to many group gifts, so be on the lookout for the group's logo in your favorite stores :) I enjoy sharing some of the gifts from time to time, just so you know what is available.

My first look is the group gift from .:AMUI:. called "Julianne" Outfit - D04. It consists of the bra, jacket, and shorts each in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP. The thigh-high boots are also included, sized for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique. These pieces add up to an edgy and sexy outfit that I couldn't wait to share. To claim this gift, you will need to pay the vendor $1L but you will be immediately refunded.

Artic Storm is offering their *AS* Ember Cold-Shoulder Dress & Shoes to all Fitmesh Fanatics group members, just click the image next to the sign in the landing area, right next to their door. This cozy sweater dress comes in classic fitmesh sizes (S,M,L) along with Freya, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine versions, with matching heels in Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink high sizing. 

Keep that group tag active and head over to ::powdermoon:: so you can claim this enchanting gift called Ruched Dress - Plum. It has bare shoulders with almost detached sleeves, and ties at each hip to gather the fabric even higher. The gift includes standard mesh sizes plus Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine versions.

Next we have the vibrantly colored Angela Cowl Dress from VERTIGO. This very thoughtful group gift comes in what I call the lucky 13 of mesh sizes: 5 classic, 5 fitmesh, Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink. The belt is built into each size, so this is easy to wear.

My final look of the night is our gift from GeMyles, called AnnaRina FitMesh Fanatics Gift. It has a slightly asymmetrical neckline, dipped down off the right shoulder just a smidge, and a soft floral pattern in a paler gray than the background color. The gift includes standard fitmesh sizes along with eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine versions. The store has moved recently, so I had to do a bit of investigating to find their correct location, but it is well worth it! There are lucky chairs and midnight mania boards nearby all the group gifts, so be sure to check those out while you visit. No group is needed for those.

Not much to say about my day, it was quiet but I was not feeling my best. Health will always be a bit of a battle for me, so I am just keeping my fingers crossed that tomorrow is a better day in that regard. I do hope you're all having a fantastic day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Dazzle with More Naughty Bunnies

Hiya everyone! Tonight I have even more prizes from the Naughty Bunny Easter Hunt to share, since there were so many that deserved to be displayed and appreciated. The hunt begins at GeMyles, with taking a stroll through their garden walkway and petting all the bunnies you can find. 19 of them give you landmarks when you click them, and those locations each have a prize for you in a display with the prize image on the top and the hunt image (text on a black background) on the bottom. There are a few gift card prizes which is nice if you have your eye on something in the store or just enjoy picking your own prizes. The dazzling part is, of course, the DAZZLE event which is open until the 25th and features top designers offering exclusive items and special prices. Their theme this month is Zebra Revolution, and it is a sight to behold with all the new wildlife exploring the area :) Also our designers got so creative with the theme, you really do need to visit while you can.

For my first look, I am wearing the adorable Sweet E's Animated Tossing Egg Lace Frill Sweater prize. It comes in sizes for standard, Freya, Isis, Venus, eBody, Maitreya, Ocacin, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine. The image on the front is animated and it is hard to capture in still images, so I snapped two photos at different points of their motion. If you enjoy animated images like this, as I do, be sure to look around since they do offer plenty of them for sale.

One of my favorite features for SL clothing is color or texture HUDs, so you know I am deeply appreciative of the prize from VERTIGO. Their Fitmesh Naughty Easter Bunny Hunt top comes in standard fitmesh sizes plus Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink versions, with a HUD that lets you choose from 5 different textures. They are mostly dark colors so they will offset your favorite pastel pants or skirts wonderfully, and the unique style adds a touch of fun to any look.

Easter hunts also bring lots of pastel colors, with this lovely Best Dress Colours Pink NEB Hunt Gift from Just Ordinary being a perfect example. The far-from-ordinary frock comes in wide range of sizes (5 standard, 5 fitmesh, eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Ocacin, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine) in a wrap style that drapes around our curves beautifully.

Another pretty in pink prize can be found at SEVYN EAST, their Hunny Bunny Outfit which I find to be a mixture of sweet and naughty. The top and bottom are each provided in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique, with the top including a TMP size as well. The necklace, cuffs, and even the matching ears are included too, in various shades of pink. I think after the holiday I will be wearing the top and necklace with a white skirt or jeans, just for variety, since I like to be able to mix and match things.

For my final look, we visit DAZZLE and the GLITTER display there. We have several colors of this fantastic Kenia Twisted Fitmesh Dress to choose from, and I decided upon the Acqua for this photo. The dress comes in standard fitmesh sizes plus Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink sizes, and includes a HUD with 4 options: plain, print, print sheer, and invisible. I am wearing the plain on the left and print on the right, and the more daring options I will leave to your imagination until you get to DAZZLE :) Each color of the dress is just $199L with the handy HUD. I really like the style for spring and summer, and am a big fan of animal prints so I will be wearing this beauty quite often.

Today was busy as I'd expected, but I think it was fairly productive, so no complaints :) Tomorrow will bring me to a few different places that I enjoy, so I am looking forward to that for sure. I hope you all have a fantastic weekend ahead, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
