Hiya everyone! First of all I'm sorry for not posting yesterday, but everything is fine and I'm very excited to be able to share goodies from one of my favorite seasonal hunts, the Kiyomizu Summer Hunt :) I blogged the spring version of this hunt when I first started blogging. I'll offer the same advice now that I did then, since this hunt is a bit different...some of the prizes are at the Kiyomizu Mall, but some stores put their hunt gift at their main store instead, and the best way to get landmarks is to click one of the large boxes hanging above the streets. Go to the website it directs you to, which is a personalized list (with SLURLs) of the cats you've found and the ones you haven't yet. Oh, did I mention you're looking for ninja cats? :) This round it seems to have a name, Nonno, on the posters. Some of them are TINY hidden as well as any ninja could, hehe, others are flattened and hiding behind things like walls...if you're good at finding things in wireframe that's another useful suggestion. Anyway, let's look at some of the prizes!!

This adorable one-piece romper is our prize from **milky-way (#6) and comes in just the one mesh size shown. The lace edging really complements the delicate floral pattern.
Next we have a dress with a bit of a surprise ;) This is our prize from Hi's, #34 in the hunt, and is called Behind String Dress. It comes with a HUD to change among 4 colors, and I was quite amused when I realized the reason for the name! Glad I was wearing pretty underwear for another gratuitous bum shot rear view with extra view. If you aren't wearing your own panties, the back of this is completely bare other than the ribbons holding things together. I think any pair of panties or bikini bottom you like will do the trick if you want to add some modesty.
For this sweet dress that includes a HUD for both color options shown, you'll want to visit Pulcino and find their ninja cat #18. Each pattern for the ETSU Resort Dress has subtle crochet lace, with a faint plaid design happening as well. Very interesting and unusual :)
Isn't this outfit the cutest? :) This is prize #53 in the hunt, from Karin, and is a one piece mesh shorts and tank set in standard mesh sizes. Love the paw prints trailed down the back and across the front. I accessorized with one of the necklaces from Akorat, #37, their tube pendant in red. A blue version is also included, so it can add a special touch to so many of your favorite outfits.
Last but certainly not least, we have some fantastic daisies on two different prizes. The lovely blue romper is prize #10 from Hapi*Rabi, a one piece mesh in standard sizes with attached belt. In a fun coincidence, #11 M.I.X. is offering the lovely (and matching) gift of a Gerbera headband that can be adjusted to fit on your favorite hairstyles.
There are plenty more prizes to show you, this is just a part one, and I've found so many terrific treasures :) It's the kind of thing I just can't keep to myself! Sharing is caring, after all. I hope you're all having a beautiful day/evening, magpie hugs to all of you!!

Hiya everyone! After yesterday's nearly monochromatic blog, I went exploring on the marketplace to see what colorful goodies I could find there. There was also a Midnight Mania prize I really wanted to show you though, so that adds a bit of variety too.
This darling sweater dress is from the Midnight Mania at Sugar Button Boutique, and how could I possibly resist sharing? Adorable kitties, and the white and pink just adds an extra touch of cute.
This marketplace find needs to be on a dance floor! Libbytulips Sparkle Fashion is known for these fascinating animated textures, and this is a perfect way to check it out and see if you like it :) You really do have to see it in person to appreciate the effect.
This gorgeous dress is sure to turn heads! I still can't believe it's FREE on the marketplace, labeled as *N*B* Spring group gift but of course a group tag isn't needed on the marketplace. So we can all enjoy this amazing gown, scattered with 3D butterflies, and please note it comes with a HUD to change the color scheme to your choice of 8 incredible options. I'm showing just 2 of those 8, a softer pastel and a bright one that really shows off the butterflies. I love how the top even has those cutouts to give it a butterfly shape!
I suppose that left me in the mood for nature, so when I saw this I couldn't resist. Bold cheery sunflowers, framed by deep gold trim, this one shoulder mini dress by SIRA is stunning. Hard to believe that this is another marketplace freebie find :)
This last marketplace freebie find for the night is appropriate for both being a cheerful color, and with a name like Rosebud it fits the nature theme of the last few goodies. The dress is called [s]. mini dress but the store name on the marketplace is Okaie, so I'm guessing they did a rebranding. Beautiful color, and a very simple style that is ideal for warm weather.
I had a wonderful Saturday and I hope you all enjoyed your day too :) For tomorrow I am deciding between an encore of marketplace treasures, and a few other possibilities, so stay tuned for whatever tomorrow brings. Magpie hugs to all!!

Hiya everyone! There are a few days left of the Black Fashion Fair, two sims full of terrific fashion, exclusive items, and some gifts for free or a linden. The event runs until May 1st, so don't delay. How about a peek at some of the gifts?
This goes to show that not all of the goodies there are limited to black. This gift from Petit Chat sure puts me in a summer mood! The top and the wrap around the bottom are mesh, and the bikini bottom is in system layers. For my nails, I went back to a great marketplace freebie from Xanthe, several colors of a lacy pattern but the yellow was a nice fit.
This may be more of what you expected from the Black Fashion Fair, hehe. The dress from Dead Dollz is so detailed, it's hard to believe it's free. I love the lace texture, and that thigh-high slit shows off the satiny inner texture amazingly. My earrings are a free gift from Maxi Gossamer, and come with a pair of single triangles as well as the triple shown. My shoes are a dollarbie gift from Essenz, and the nails are another marketplace freebie, this time from (AB). That means my entire outfit of dress, shoes, nails, and earrings cost a grand total of $1L, fantastic!!

Plastik is a consistently generous designer, and their free gift at the Black Fashion Fair is no exception. There are several boxes in there, containing everything from dresses to pants to corsets and more, each in thematic black. Above you can see two of them, the Ananke top and the Anael leggings. I am also wearing the free gift from [La Baguette] which is the smudged eyeliner....with my allergies lately, that's totally how I feel.

There are only a few days left in Sn@tch's current fishing round, which instead of an outfit (usually 20+ pieces to mix and match for several looks) is accessories grab bags. I haven't had a chance to do much fishing there unfortunately, but I did manage to 'catch' the cardigan and tutu I'm wearing in the photo above. The cardigan is #19 called Effie, and the tutu is #20 Sonia. I thought they looked really cute together and with the shirt from Plastik in the previous photo, the Ananke top. Lots of mesh there, but fortunately they seem to be playing nicely together :)
I hope you've all survived this Monday with flying colors, and that your upcoming week holds plenty of magic and joy. Hugs to all!!
