More FLF Birthday Bash Gifts

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I have more FLF Backyard Birthday Bash group gift to show you, since there were simply too many to fit into one post. The Fifty Linden Fridays group is free to join, and the gifts are in beverage coolers at each display so you just need to click those to receive your free treats. Be sure to visit before the 3rd of September, when the bash winds down for the summer. 

My first look combines several gifts, so let's start from the top with the Flora. blossom top ~ fatpack. It includes Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite mesh body sizes, with a HUD to choose from 6 lovely colors. I really do enjoy floral patterns year round, so I am a big fan of this treat :) The pants come from ISON and are called anika patent leather pants (FLF Gift). These slick jeans-styled pants fit Freya, Legacy, and Maitreya bodies, and the included HUD has an impressive 30 colors to choose from. These will be able to match just about anything you wish! As for accessories, my choker is the .Quirky. Mad Lover Collar [Gift] which is provided in v1 and v2 (I must admit, I did not see a difference) with a HUD to select from 5 textures each for the band and the closure in front. Since we all deserve a versatile pair of shoes, how about these fun peeptoe platforms from Phedora? They are called Shelbie Heels ~20C. Fatpack, and as you can guess from the name there are 20 colors via HUD for each of 3 parts (top, sole, and platform). The shoes themselves are provided in Belleza, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Slink high sizing. 

I kept the ISON pants on to show you another top, the charming [JUSTICE] ASHLEY TOP - INDIGO group gift. This gathered tube top has a zipper in the front, and a HUD with 6 metal colors to choose from for said zipper. The top itself comes in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh body sizes. The neckline hits just low enough that it frames my necklace choice beautifully! That would be our MG - Necklace - Butterfly - Jewelled - GOLD+SILVER gift from Maxi Gossamer. There are a total of 6 versions included, both metals mentioned in the name with long, short 1, and short 2 versions where the short 2 has a smaller pendant. I am wearing short 1 in gold here, with a mix of green stones that I chose from the menu you can access by clicking it. (Either left click the necklace itself, or what I find easier is to 'right click - touch' from inventory.) There are 14 gem colors to choose from, so your lovely butterfly can match or coordinate with anything you wear with it. 

Next we have the gift from VINYL which is their Tokyo Tied Top Pak Metallic Gift. It includes Alice, Freya, Isis, Legacy, Maitreya, Petite, Hourglass, and Physique mesh body sizes, with a 4 color HUD so you can choose your favorite metallic hue. I was intrigued by how long the ties hang down in the front, and that opening above them is a bit racy with that flash of underboob ;) The single shouldered style got my attention too, as I have found lately that I find symmetry in fashion overrated. Those are the ISON pants making another appearance too, and they are about to make yet another...

This tantalizing top is the OSMIA gift called [Peyton], and it has a very useful unpacking HUD where you choose your body size and deliver just that set - Freya, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, or Petite - or you can click the All button to deliver the lot. Each size comes in 9 colors: black, brown, cream, lime (seen on the right above), orange, red, rose (left), tan, and white. Just think of all the things you already have in your inventory that will coordinate so well with this...pants, shorts, skirts, leggings...and just about any color will find its mate. 

My final look of the evening is a fine choice for these still-hot late summer days. The bikini is the Aurly Bikini Tye Dye & Yellow gift from Luas, which surprised me with the monochromatic fabric instead of the bright colors I usually associate with tie dye. The contrast to the vivid yellow is beautiful! The top and panties are each provided in sizes for Freya, Hourglass, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite mesh bodies. I could not resist accessorizing with the cheezu. gold citrus earring group gift, which includes 4 pairs of earrings for you to choose from. There are solid and clear versions each of their lemon and grapefruit slices, and in the main photo I am wearing the sheer lemon but in the closer view (inset) you can see the solid grapefruit with its pink hue. Who else is craving lemonade now?

This has been a very hectic evening, and I am running behind while trying to multitask, apparently not too well. Usually I can handle a few things at once, but I guess I got a little carried away adding more ;) I have an appointment tomorrow so I will be out for part of the day, but it shouldn't interfere with my blogging schedule. I hope you're all having a nice day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Grooving on Vinyl

Hiya everyone! Tonight we are visiting a single store, Vinyl, where we can join their free group and claim several exciting gifts behind the front desk. I have a habit of checking every store I visit for information about their group, if it is free to join and if there are gifts available that I can share with all of you :) I have seen Vinyl's creations at various events and knew I liked their style, so it makes sense to draw your attention to them with a little help from these generous gifts.

I combined two group gifts for this casually cute look. The top is called Vinyl - London Crop Top Group Gift Pak v2, and comes in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP mesh bodies. There is a HUD provided too, with 15 solid colors and 15 graphics choices on the same colors but each with a different city/country featured upon it. I am wearing it as Italy on the left and Amsterdam on the right. Also on the HUD are 8 colors for the bra straps plus on/off buttons, so you can hide them as I did on the right if you wish. The pants are called Fuel Snowboarding Pants Xmas Gift, and are low slung in lavender with a fun print on the knees, pockets, and an unzipped area on the cuffs. This gift consists of Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizing. 

Next we have two more gifts, starting from the top with their Vinyl - Bebe Bra Group Gift - Pak. This strapless treat comes in standard mesh sizes as well as Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique versions, with a HUD offering 14 texture choices (5 prints and 9 solid colors) with 9 colors for the bra inside. It pairs beautifully with the Vinyl - Camilla Panties Group Gift Pak, which has 16 color options on its provided HUD. There are sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique bodies, all with that playful heart cutout on the rear ♥.

I kept the Camilla Panties on to show you two more exciting tops from among these many group gifts here. On the left is the VINYL - Locked Out Tee Pak Group Gift, which says "Just here to BANG" on the front and comes in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique bodies. The longer tee on the right is their Ruel Group Gift, which reads "Coffee but first VINYL" with the store's logo as the word VINYL. It is included in Freya, Isis, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizing. 

Valentine's Day was several very loooong months ago, LOL, but we are still able to claim this duo of lingerie looks as a belated gift, or early, depending on your point of view. This is the Vinyl - Applesauce Strappy Lingerie Pak - Vday Gift LOVE on the left, with the ROSE version on the right, and each include the top  and bottom in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizes. I am a fan of interesting straps, so this style captivated me at first glance, and I appreciate having both patterns to choose from.

My final look of the evening is the VINYL - Torte Bikini Pak Group Gift Good Vibes, a two piece swimsuit with a familiar leaf pattern on the top. Our gift includes the top and panties each sized for Alice, Freya, Isis, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique bodies. It starts out white, so when you add the HUD you can apply the texture to the top and bottom, then choose from 18 solid colors for the top's strings. The style is a flirty one that really accentuates curves. 

This was the type of evening where if I still drank, I'd probably be on at least my third glass of wine. The hockey game was ugly, and ended the season for the team I root for, so it was a bummer for sure. The rest of my night will probably include some Twisted hunting, and some hanging out at lucky boards/chairs somewhere to be determined. A little luck should boost my spirits, and any time with Xan does so even more, so my evening will be getting better. I hope you're all enjoying your weekend, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Dancing With Myself

Hiya everyone! Tonight we take another trip to the Uber event and their birthday round, where there are dozens of free gifts for everyone with no group needed. It is such a popular event that the main sim and even the camera sims (Harajuku and Cam Sim) might still be crowded, so please continue to try every now and then if they are full. You have over 3 weeks to go, as it is open until the 22nd of September, so there is no rush :) The gifts are in pretty boxes with gold and black balloons tied to each, so you can see them easily even if you are camming over from one of the additional sims. I also have a special offer to show you from Entice, that you can find at this round of Cosmopolitan. It is an impressively versatile outfit with plenty of choices for any mood or budget. As for my title, I went completely random and had a Billy Idol song pop into my head for unknown reasons. 

First we have the gift from Storybook, which is their Tymina in Blush dress. It has been crafted for the Maitreya mesh body, with several crossed straps to connect the top and fluttery skirt. The soft color has a satiny sheen to it, for an exquisite effect.

This charming dress is the Charlize Dress Lilac gift from Valentina E. It is also provided in a Maitreya size, and has a built in belt that matches perfectly. I like the deep neckline, which would probably frame your favorite necklace quite nicely. 

Time to get flirty this weekend with the gift from SEUL! Their Lilith Swimsuit - Navy Gift is somewhere between a bikini and a one-piece, since it provides similar coverage to a bikini but is intricately tied together to be a single piece. It comes in sizes for Freya, Hourglass, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh bodies. I continued the flirty look with some body art, the .:Vegas:. Tattoo Applier Take Over 213 gift. This is a unisex gift, tattoos on both arms (sleeves) all the way down to the hands that even include skulls on the knuckles and just a flash of red among all the dark ink. There are various options for how dark or fresh you want the tattoo to appear (light, medium, dark) and each is provided in system/BOM layers along with appliers for Altamura, Belleza, Legacy, Maitreya, Omega, Signature, and Slink. 

A trio of gifts appear in this look, starting with the top from VINYL called Salt Cami - Uber Gift August 2020. It is a soft grey with delicate straps and a tiny ruffle at the bottom hem, and comes in Alice, Freya, Isis, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizing. The upper left reads #VINYLBABE so there is a bit of advertising happening there ;) The striking skirt is the GIZ SEORN gift, Simply named Uber Anniversary Gift. It has an attached belt in vibrant deepest pink that almost appears red, and picks up one of the many colors in the embroidered design both front and back, beautifully. I am also enjoying another tattoo gift here, the Doris TaTToo Black from [CAROL G]. You can choose your opacity (35%, 50%, 75%, or 100%) to determine how dark it appears, and each one is available as a system/BOM layer or on the appliers for Belleza, Legacy, Maitreya, Omega, and Slink. The center of the design, both front and back, comes down to a similar point as the top, both of which are tucked slightly beneath my shirt. 

For my last look this evening, we head over to the Cosmopolitan event where we are visiting the Entice display. Their offering this round is this adorable Ruby Tuesday outfit, whose top and skirt each come in sizes for Freya, Hourglass, and Maitreya, with an extra Maitreya Petite for the top. There are individual colors/designs available for $250L each (regularly $300L) or you can pick a fatpack of Dots, Prints, Solids, or Stripes for $499L each marked down from $599L. Each fatpack has 10 choices via HUD, 2 of which are fatpack exclusives. Maybe you are thinking even bigger? How about a Mega Fatpack of all 4 fatpacks, all for just $1199L which is discounted from the $1499L full price. The best part about fatpack HUDs is the ability to change various sections of the outfit independently, so the top has options for the main and ruffles 1, 2, and 3 (on the right I changed the first and third ruffle to a slightly lighter teal) and on the skirt you can change the main skirt, two ruffles, buttons, and built in panties each individually. The possibilities are endless, and I am so enamored with this outfit ♥. Cosmo is open until September 5th, so please stop by and grab a demo and then enjoy the choices. The link to Cosmopolitan is in my ending credits, and Entice's mainstore is linked in the column on the right as always.

This has been a frustrating weekend for me on a personal level so far, but in the grand scheme of things I am still feeling cautiously optimistic. There are so many bigger things in the world to worry about, although my time here blogging and in SL is my escape. We really are fortunate to have a virtual community like this, where we can safely explore and find friends. I hope you're all having a terrific day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

FaMESHed Freebies

Hiya everyone! Tonight we visit the FaMESHed event for its December round (open until the 27th) and see some of their delightful group gifts. The group is free to join, and many of the participating designers have small gift boxes in front of their displays that you can claim with the group tag. I was really pleased with all the thoughtful treats that we can use to celebrate the holiday of our choice, and hope you enjoy them too.

First we have the playful gift from VINYL which is their Hellershanks Sweater Dress Pak. The long top with one bared shoulder and tied at the hem is provided in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and Legacy mesh bodies. There are modesty panties included too in the same sizes, with a HUD that lets you choose from 16 colors for them. By the way, the image on the sweater shows a status bar partly filled, and says "LAZY DAY loading..." :)

For my next look, I chose the Dhoma gift called Shayla Robe Green, which includes two flirty versions. The closed (shown) and open (untied belt, breasts still covered but panties revealed) each come in sizes for Freya, Maitreya, and Hourglass mesh bodies. The texture has a satiny shimmer to it, with nice stitching at all the hems.

Kaithleen's is offering their Cindy Dress - Mint as a free group gift this round. It comes in eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizing, with a HUD that offers 9 color options for the stripe in the middle of the white edging. As you can see from the side view, there is a slit on each thigh that adds visual interest and probably makes walking a bit easier in such a snug dress :) The stripes have a sporty feel, and I appreciate the variety in the colors.

There are a lot of terrific tops among our group gifts, such as the ChristmasDeer Sweater from Just BECAUSE. The white silhouette of a reindeer with magnificent antlers looks beautiful against the knit red background. Our gift includes Freya, Hourglass, Legacy, and Maitreya sizing.

My final look of the evening is the Dead Dollz gift called Luka Sweater - Indigo. It is included in a single Maitreya size, and I love the contrast of the extra long right sleeve compared to the mostly bare left side which is tied gently at the cropped hem. The color shows as a lavender or periwinkle shade for me because of my windlight settings, really lovely. In this photo and the previous one I am wearing my favorite marketplace freebie which is Delizio jeans in one of their several colors (black) that are included in system layers plus Maitreya and Omega appliers.

I had a very difficult morning in SL, a weird technical glitch where I tried on a system layer tattoo and things went wonky. It said the item couldn't be found in their database, so I deleted the whole folder and unpacked a new copy that did the same. Then anything I removed (was unpacking things via HUDs) made 2 errors pop up about the tattoo not being in the database. Then I turned gray except my hair and nails, talk about odd! I relogged, cleared inventory cache, nothing changed. It finally accidentally fixed itself when I deleted the links to it from the current outfit folder (that shouldn't have existed since it never appeared on me) and added another unpacking HUD that must have caused my current outfit folder to reset itself. Whew! Unpacking comes before taking photos of course, so had it not been resolved I would have been unable to post anything tonight. You can see why I am so relieved that it worked out in the end :) I hope you're all having a fantastic day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Uber Is In The Pink

Hiya everyone! Tonight I chose a few more gifts from the Uber 5th anniversary round to share. No group is needed, just head to the event or one of their cam shopping sims (Harajuku and Daze Retreat) if the main sim is full, and you will be able to use your camera controls to reach all of these generous gifts. This event is renowned for high quality designers, so be sure and grab some demos too and support them by shopping :) I really found a lot of wonderful offers there, and having a total of 3 sims has made a huge difference in accessibility. I realized most of the way through taking the photos that there is a lot of pink on this page, LOL, hence the title...

My first look has the long breezy tank top from LAZYBONES called Celena Tank - Pink. It comes in versions with and without the bra beneath, both fitted for Maitreya mesh bodies, and a HUD with 4 bra colors is provided too. I added a touch of jewelry with the VINYL August Necklace Pack, which contains several colors and sizes: Belleza, Maitreya, Slink, and Legacy fits each in Black, Gold (shown), Rose Gold, and Silver. They all have that cute heart with devil tail and wings that reads "love me" on them.

OSMIA is offering two sexy gifts, their Mary Set in Light Pink (seen on the left) and Pink (right). Each lacy bodysuit comes in Freya, Isis, Hourglass, and Maitreya sizes, with daringly sheer front and delicately tied halter neck and high cut hips. 

This fantastic dress is our gift from Seniha. called Ryan Dress, and just wait until you see its HUD! The dress itself is provided in Freya, Isis, Hourglass, and Maitreya sizes, then the texture HUD offers an impressive 70 choices (solids, ombres, glitter, patterns) and two metals for the zipper in the back. So generous!

Valentina E. has a wonderful gift for us too, their Valeria Gown Rose Pink. It comes in Freya, Isis, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizes. The style is body-hugging and there is a modest train in the back, so this is sure to turn heads.

My final look of the evening is continuing the accidental pink trend of this post :) The lovely gown is from Storybook called Briar Rose in Bubblegum. The single mesh size fit my Maitreya body perfectly, and I love the subtle ombre flowing down the full skirt. I paired it with the e.marie Cupcake Necklace - Silver, the fun gift that also includes a gold version. You can see in the inset that there are tiny pink gems on the frosting of the cupcake, such a great little detail.

Today went pretty well, then my parents realized they can't do dinner tomorrow (our usual Friday plans) so we are just skipping having dinner together this weekend. I'll probably see them Saturday at the farmers market, so it isn't a big deal. That does mean my weekend is a little less hectic, so I am appreciating that silver lining. I hope you are all enjoying your day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Get Tinseled at Shop and Hop

Hiya everyone! Tonight I have more gifts to share from the Shop & Hop event, which gives you the chance to explore 5 sims filled with discounted offers by 100 designers as well as gifts at every display. All of the gifts I am showing you tonight can be found on the Tinseled sim. I try to keep the various sims separate so you don't have to frantically search through 5 different crowded sims to try to find your favorite present, but I do suggest checking out each sim when you can. The event runs until the 4th of January, so several days remain to enjoy it.

This sim had a lot of tops as gifts, so I am wearing my favorite Marketplace freebie of jeans by Delizio (several colors included, system layers/Maitreya appliers/Omega appliers) with them, starting with the RIOT Nora Oversized Sweater. There is also a mens version included called Nico, and Nora comes in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizes. There is even a color HUD provided for both, 4 colors that all have the snowflake knit pattern on them. Please excuse the way my hands have decided to poke through the very long sleeves, which come past the fingertips.

I am still celebrating Christmas, especially in this gift from {ViSion} called Lena Christmas Top. It comes in two versions, with and without the white knit layer beneath, both in sizes for Freya, Isis, Maitreya, and Hourglass mesh bodies. I appreciate having the choice of being on the flirty side or the cozy side.

I got quite a chuckle out of our gift from VINYL, which is called 3AM Knotted Tee. It is included in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizes, and reads "Dear Santa, I'm sorry for what I said before I had my coffee". Even if you don't indulge in caffeine, you probably have some sort of ritual when you wake up that you can sympathize with the stress if it is disrupted. I do not wake up instantly perky and cheerful, so I do occasionally need to apologize for things I say (or the looks I give!) when bothered too soon after waking ;)

There are eye-catching dresses too among the many gifts found on this sim, such as the duo from ALTAIR called Sukebe Knit New Years. There are gold and silver versions included, each in a Maitreya size, with a daringly low cut rear view. These are the most sparkly looking knits imaginable, and are suitable for a celebration any time of year.

My final look of the evening is by Valentina E., their lovely Isa Dress Olive. It comes in sizes for Freya, Isis, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique, with a chic square neckline and delicate spaghetti straps. This is one of those colors that tends to be flattering to all, but especially for gingers I think :)

I managed to get some sleep eventually, then got a burst of energy and took these photos (and corresponding notes), and now I'm starting to feel worn out again. It will be nice to be able to stay home and rest tomorrow. I hope you are all enjoying your day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
