Stylish Swank Sweets

 Hiya everyone! Tonight's post is chock full of SWANK Event group gifts, from their 11th anniversary spectacular. You'll need their free group tag active to claim these, just click all the globes you see with the golden 11 inside and the event logo. There are so many designers and just a plethora of gifts, I feel like I could easily blog nothing but this until the end of the month/event ;) The urge for variety prevents me from doing so, lol, but I really want to encourage all of you to visit and invite your friends both male and female since there are treats for all.

First up this evening we have the V-Twins - Ruby Outfit gift. The brand specializes in biker wear, and I must say this really shows that off well :) Our jacket, top, skirt, and panties are each provided in Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Lara X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies, with 2 HUDs to cover it all. The first HUD has 12 colors each for the jacket, jacket arms, top, and panties, plus 4 metals apiece for metal jacket and metal bikini. Then the skirt HUD offers 12 colors each for the skirt, skirt edge, opacity 25%, and opacity 50%, along with 4 metals for the skirt metals. Everything is on labeled tabs across the top once the HUDs load their scripts.

This lacy creation is our gift from JUMO Originals called ELLIE Dress Special. Isn't it gorgeous? The single shoulder strap is trimmed in lace, much like the bodice and the hem. We receive Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and Signature mesh body sizes, as well as a HUD with 8 textures. Those include 4 colors in either solid or floral. I will say that the lace on the bust is just see-through enough that for some destinations you may want to add some sort of pasties beneath to ensure the nips are peeping through ;)

Speaking of lace, the VIONA - Ballet Dress Outfit gift has some options that give us a sheer lacy look too :) It could just be because I've been watching Dancing With The Stars (rooting for Robert Irwin and Danielle Fishel!) but this top and skirt combo are giving me tango vibes and I am captivated. They will fit Freya, Isis, Kupra (Bimbo, Low, Original), Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh bodies. Of course there's a HUD tucked in there as well, with 10 sheer and 8 solid color options for each piece. We can mix and match, but for some reason I was feeling matchy-matchy it seems.

Next I got to wear my favorite color, thanks to our Ruxy-Isabella Purple gift. It's worn all as one piece, with the look of a corset, blouse, and shorts, in sizing for Legacy and Maitreya mesh bodies. The corset and shorts are accessorized with golden bows, and the blouse has such pretty ruffles and poofy short sleeves to go with the full pockets on the shorts :) Such a unique and playful look, don't you think?

My final look of the evening is a striking set of pointy nails, so pointy in fact that one thumbnail is accidentally piercing my lip ;) Our FF Original - Nail Bento Stiletto Glitter - Purple gift from Fatal Fashion is designed for Belleza, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Slink, and Tonic mesh hands. They're very easy to wear, just use your body's HUD to hide its built in nails and add the mesh set from this folder. This set includes a HUD with 2 textures, with and without glitter, so you can decide which one suits your taste and your outfit any time you wear them.

I went to the local Dollar Tree earlier, hoping to find those hand sanitizer sprays that sell out so quickly each time they stock them. They were out but the employee was kind enough to tell us when the truck comes in, so we can try again soon. Otherwise I'm thinking about my dad turning 82 tomorrow, marveling at how fortunate our family is to be able to help him celebrate it soon. Did all of you know that the Twisted Hunt will be returning in October? Someone in a group chat mentioned that it's a one-time thing, so not permanently back but at least we get to enjoy the difficult but worthwhile challenge once again :) I've missed it for sure. Well I hope you're all having a splendid day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Sweets From Swank

 Hiya everyone! Tonight it's time to return to the SWANK Event and its Celebration of Colors round for June, aka Pride Month. They are calling it a hunt, but we are basically wearing the Swank group tag (free to join) and clicking all the rainbow striped flames we can see :) I can't really say any are hidden, it's more of a fun opportunity to browse both floors of this massive event and claim gobs of generous gifts. It is indeed a celebration, and this party continues until the end of the month.

First I slipped into the playful VIONA-Lunar Dress Set gift. It consists of the bodysuit, neck (collar connected to straps and chains on bodice), and skirt that each fit Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies, and a fur stole that is a single size. I'm sure you guessed that there's also a HUD, well that offers 20 colors apiece for the body, fur, belt, aporet (ruffles on shoulders), and neck harness, plus 5 metals. You can also guess that I had a great deal of fun playing with said HUD, lol, as I always do ;) With everything being separate parts, we can wear them all or take off the ones we aren't in the mood to wear.

I also couldn't resist sharing the Malizia - ELSA Dress 05 because of its gorgeous purple hue and its sassy style. We go from a halter neckline to daring underbust cutout, openings in the back and down each side, and end with a very brief hemline :) There are sizes for Legacy, Bombshell, Lara X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies included.

Pride Month is in full swing with our [C.YFashion]*PRIDE2025*Mini Dress gift. It looks like two pieces but is really just one, in sizing for Erika, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. The enclosed HUD lets us pick from 10 patterns each for the top, skirt, and belt, with 3 metals for the clasps. All of these prints are full of color, and even more importantly filled with love and respect for all.

The color of the moment here is buttery yellow, thanks to Sascha's Designs and their stunning SAS - Mika SoftYellow Outfit. Our gift includes the top/skirt piece (linked to each other) and the half blazer, each in sizes for Lara X, Legacy, and Reborn bodies, along with the feather stole that appears on our right shoulder. Yes, you can wear this outfit without the feathers, and even slide out of that blazer if you wish :) What a fantastic, creative look this is, very chic and inventive!

My final look this evening is the versatile and easy to wear #RUBY# -PRIDE TOP GIFT 2025-. I do love halter necklines, and this style is very flattering in accentuating the bust and showing off a bit of midriff. There are Erika, Kupra, Lara X, Petite X, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Reborn, and Waifu mesh body sizes provided, with a HUD offering 5 fun textures. They are bright and cheerful choices, and I will gladly wear them all before the month ends :) 

It was a quieter day than I expected, because I looked at the dates wrong and the hockey game is Thursday, not Wednesday. Derp! That's okay, I have plenty of things to watch and keep myself amused while I blog :) The weather is definitely summery here, and I am glad to be able to stay near fans wherever I am in the house. I hope you're all enjoying your day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Goodies for SLFO

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we're switching gears to visit some SLFO (SL Frees & Offers) group stores, which means lots of wonderful group gifts. The group is free to join, and I've been a member for years so I have certainly enjoyed the helpful group chat and notices for ages. These stores are a random sampling of the many who offer gifts to all visitors who have the group tag active, just look for the red and white SLFO logo.

My first look of the evening comes from RosenRot, their beautiful Nevada Gift. It is a flirty mini dress with bold cutouts down each side, in a shimmery teal satin. There are sizes for eBody Reborn, Erika, Legacy, Maitreya, and Petite mesh bodies included. Naturally I was also drawn to the crossed straps in the back as a favorite feature.

This very elegant look is the VIONA-Scarlet Dress [water green GIFT], and I must say it has a bit of a futuristic appearance to it :) The dress, shine layer, and gloves shine layer are each provided as separates in Belleza Classic, Belleza Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, and Reborn mesh body sizes. I'm wearing both shine layers on the left but neither on the right, but since they have an animated sparkle it is not as easy to tell the different in a still image. I'm a huge fan of the color, particularly good for auburn/ginger haired avatars.

This next store is actually the neighbor of the first store, RosenRot, and I somehow got them out of order when taking the photos and notes because I intended to share them together! This is the TREND - Soraya Top & Skirt, which is actually linked as a single piece to wear in a jiffy. The gift includes Legacy, Maitreya, and Petite body sizes, with a 10 color HUD that tints it all at once to the hue of your choice. This is an especially daring outfit with the wisp of a cinched tube top and an itty bitty mini skirt :)

There is something so special and summery about this next gift, the .::E.D.D.A::. Nyah Pareo Dress & Panties. The dress drapes around just right and is trimmed in lots of slender fringe at the hem. Our dress and panties are both provided in sizing for Dragon, eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh bodies. Now to find just the right tropical hotspot to wear it to!

My final look of the evening has some fringe too, with a more casual everyday type feeling. The MONOMANIA - MoonAmoor outfit is just one of many gifts for various groups that you can find here, and it is always worth checking to see which you are a member of. For SLFO, we receive the top and shorts each in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizes, with sneakers for Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink flat feet. The denim shorts are a style I've seen referred to as distressed, torn, or shredded, with nearly threadbare spots over the front pockets and frayed edges all around. It's a great detail that the shoulder straps on the shirt are the same denim color as the shorts.

It was a weird sort of day, with lots of plans possibly changing because of incoming stormy weather the next few days. I might be having dinner with my parents tomorrow instead of the usual Friday, or it might be postponed until Saturday, if not canceled altogether for the week. That would stink because I have to give my dad his Father's Day card, but of course it could be dropped off once the weather clears up. It's all signed and sealed :) I hope you're all having a pleasant day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
