Valentine Free Dove

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we take a look at some more Valentine's Day gifts found at The Free Dove. There are several designers who have gifts out on the seasonal table, which can all be claimed with the free "Blessed by a Dove" group tag and a simple click. I know the holiday itself is just about here, but most of these can be worn year round. Hearts are universal and so is the color red, just as examples :) Whatever you have planned for the near future, you can find something exciting to freshen up your wardrobe here at The Free Dove. I am not sure how long these gifts will be available on the holiday table, but I assure you that there is always something at The Free Dove worth the visit. 

First this evening I got to enjoy the Ava Design// Valentine's Day Outfit gift. Its sexy halter dress has a studded black collar and bow, with a handkerchief hemline that has a hint of sparkle on its blood red fabric. It comes in sizes for Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies, with coordinated peeptoe heels in Maitreya and Slink high sizing. They have flirty little bows on them that make them a great match for the dress. 

Next for something cute and casual, I changed into the *Ydea Style Valentine outfit gift 2022*. The knotted blouse and distressed jeans are each provided in standard mesh sizes along with Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh body versions. Our gift also includes the sneakers which fit my Maitreya feet very well (but use an alpha layer or your body's HUD to hide your feet if necessary) and the snazzy sunglasses with built in resize script in a cherry red to match the rest of the look. 

Maybe your next outing calls for a more formal look, well NILSY has you covered with their STRAPLESS BEADED GOWN gift. It comes in standard mesh sizes and a fitted version for classic avatars, plus versions for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Ocacin, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, Tonic Fine, and Voluptuous mesh bodies. The side slit adds a dash of glamour, and the style will look beautiful with your favorite jewelry and footwear.

One of the cutest gifts I've seen recently anywhere is surely the pandamomo Love Me MiniDress LL. There is a sweet kitty holding a heart shaped balloon that is actually an opening to show off a little cleavage. The dress comes in sizes for tons of mesh bodies: eBody Curvy, eBody Reborn, Freya, Isis, Hourglass, Kupra Bimbo, Low, Original, Kups, Legacy, Perky, Petite, Love Momma, Maitreya, Petite, Tonic Curvy, Tonic Fine, and Tonic Minim. There is something especially cozy about the grey knit texture too, like it would be very soft and comfortable to wear.

My final look this evening is the GGVG fashion Valentine's gift, a dark long sleeved mini dress scattered with hearts in varying sizes and shades of red resembling confetti. I really like the scoop neck and the way it's just a little lower in the back, so it wouldn't interfere with a long flowing hairstyle. When you claim this gift, you'll receive Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh body sizes. 

This week sure has been an emotional rollercoaster here, so I am still processing various things. The good news is that my housemate doesn't have the flu after all but a UTI (urinary tract infection) that caused the fever and chills, so nothing contagious and the antibiotics are helping already. He went to an urgent care center yesterday which I forgot to mention, and today was feeling well enough to go to the farmers market (masked) to pick up the things I was going to get if I went myself. Writing the list was amusing because I kept going back and adding things, suddenly recalling random things I was told last week. I hope you're all having a lovely day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Pandamomo and Ezmerelda's

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I have a part two for you, the second half of The Free Dove mini hunts. These gifts are all found at the respective mainstores of Pandamomo and Ezmerelda's Dolls, and can be claimed by clicking the hunt objects with the Free Dove "Blessed by a Dove" group tag active. The prizes are hidden in adorable pandas at Pandamomo, and in tiny pink hearts with gold trim at Ezmerelda's Dolls, just as they are at The Free Dove. I also suggest checking inside and out at each store, particularly Ezmerelda's ;) It is the same advice you will find in the hunt notecard from The Free Dove about their location too, so it is not a new suggestion but a helpful reminder. Both designers are so talented and very generous to provide these free gifts, in addition to offering gifts at The Free Dove year round. 

My first look this evening starts with the pandamomo Eloise Long Version LL prize, a full length gown with plunging neckline and mostly bare back beneath the halter strap. It has a delicate pattern etched onto the satiny black fabric, and comes in sizes for eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies plus a standard fitted size for classic avatars. For a pop of color I added the [Ezmerelda's Dolls] VFM [CD Lyrieal]-[Resize-able] prize, very similar to the one I shared yesterday but in a very pretty shade of pink that makes me think of mauve. The white lace trim is a beautiful touch, and having that resize script built in means it should fit just about anyone.

If you are more in the mood for a shorter dress, I suggest finding the panda that holds the pandamomo Karina LL hunt prize. This lovely mini dress combines a corset style bodice with bows and ruffles, all in deep black with a hint of sheen. I decided to add some accessories, which were fun and easy to do thanks to a couple of prizes from Ezmerelda's. The choker is our [Ezmerelda's Dolls] Lyrieal Choker-[Heart-Gold][Resize-able] prize, similar in style to the yellow one I shared yesterday with lace edging and a sweet charm of a heart in front. Look lower and you will see the [Ezmerelda's Dolls] Tied Anklets [Resizable] prize, delicate ribbons wrapped around the ankles with petite bows on each. The left and right anklets are included separately so you can wear one or both, in sizes for Maitreya High and Slink High as well as one called Most Ankles. There is a yellow version among the prizes at The Free Dove too, so be sure to find all of those hearts ♥.

Next we have the pandamomo Body V1 LL prize, which at first glance from the front almost seems to be a bikini until you notice the side panels that hold things together. It has a fun dripping pattern of black on black, and is provided in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizing. The cut seems designed to be revealing yet hide the essentials if you catch my drift ;) 

This catsuit had me ready to purr with happiness when I found it! The pandamomo Catsuit V2 Ying Yang LL prize comes in system/BOM layers with a dramatic black and white split coloring, and deep plunging neckline both front and back. There are a few pockets adorning it, as well as a duo of cats in a yin yang shape. I really hope all of you mesh body wearers out there are using the BOM compatible versions of your bodies, since it has opened up so many possibilities and lots of designers are no longer bothering with the myriad of appliers that each outfit would require instead of a simple BOM layer.

My final look of the evening shows more terrific ways to accessorize and combine these thoughtful prizes. The dress is the pandamomo Diana LL prize, a long strapless column dress that has a sexy slit on the left thigh. It includes sizing for eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies, as well as a standard fitted size for classic avatars. I added a charming pair of earrings, the [Ezmerelda's Dolls] Word Earrings-Doll[Resize-able] prize, with the word DOLL between bright pink beads. Then I couldn't resist a closeup of the nails I have been enjoying tonight, the [Ezmerelda's Dolls] Bento Nails [C]-[Pink Nail Art] prize. They are provided in Maitreya and Slink sizes, and have a shimmery pink base with white tip, pink heart, and gold swish to separate them. The end result is a gorgeous nail art design, much like their nails I shared in my last post. 

I have been busy with more plans for the next week or two, including a booster jab appointment coming up on Thursday. Just in case I feel too tired or achy to blog, I am planning to take that evening off, but should be able to post again on Friday evening as usual :) It's funny, I had the most side effects of anyone in my immediate circle and yet far less than many people have described online, so I am a bit nervous but probably do not need to be. I am doing this to protect people I care about, and of course to protect myself, and to me that is not a political decision. It is motivated by love on my part. You will find very few references to politics here but plenty of love ♥. My hair stylist is booked for next week so I cannot get my hair cut or colored before Thanksgiving, which is unfortunate since it looks fairly haggard. I should have done it sooner, but life keeps getting in the way. My family will just have to ignore my roots and greys, and the shaggy sheepdog style ;) I hope you're all having a terrific day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Free Dove Mini Hunts

 Hiya everyone! Tonight's post features several free prizes from both of November's mini hunts at The Free Dove. The participating designers this month are Pandamomo and Ezmerelda's Dolls, each of which have 5 prizes at The Free Dove and another 5 at their respective mainstores. Pandamomo has an adorable panda as their hunt object, as a reference to their name and logo, and the Ezmerelda's Dolls hunt gifts are hiding inside tiny pink hearts trimmed in gold. There are photos of both of these on the hunt signs around Free Dove, and in the notecard you can receive by clicking those signs so you can take it with you :) The notecard will remind you to search inside and out, as they can hide the prizes in the Free Dove Plaza as well as inside the main building (which has an upstairs too, as an additional hint) for plenty of possible hiding spots. For all of the gifts at all 3 locations, you will need the free "Blessed by a Dove" group tag active to claim them for free just by clicking. All of tonight's prizes can be found at The Free Dove.

For my first look, we start with the pandamomo Lingerie V2 LL hunt prize. This bra and panty set comes in system/BOM layers, trimmed with lace and decorated with tiny shadowy hearts. The cut of the panties is both flirty and moderate coverage, and the strapless bra is a beauty. I paired it with one of our Ezmerelda's prizes, their lovely [Ezmerelda's Dolls] VFM [CV Black]-[Resize-able] mask. It is black satin trimmed in white lace, and is beautifully pleated. 

Next I changed into the pandamomo Lovely LL prize, a sexy strapless mini that is even shorter from behind. The gift includes Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Signature Alice, Hourglass, and Physique mesh body sizes. The front has two heart shaped cutouts that mimic the black-on-black texture, and the skirt flares out just beneath them. So sexy!

Pandamomo has another attractive dress for us in another cute panda, their Stefania LL strapless layered mini. It is provided in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique bodies, with lots of ruffled layers that make me think of dancing. I accessorized with the [Ezmerelda's Dolls] Yellow Choker-[Heart-Gold][Resize-able] prize, which starts with a white ribbon trimmed in yellow lace. The slender golden ribbon is stitched through and tied in the front, adorned with a heart charm that I even included a closer view as an inset to show off how pretty it is. 

This delightfully daring dress is the pandamomo Nara LL prize, with dramatic asymmetrical hem that bares an entire hip and is decorated with white flower outlines. It comes in a bevy of sizes too - for Altamura, eBody Classic, eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Signature Alice, Hourglass, Physique, Star Body, Tonic Curvy, Tonic Fine, and Tonic Minim mesh bodies. I think the rear view really shows just how much that hemline reveals, and I would consider wearing some leggings beneath if I wanted to add a little more coverage.

My final look of the evening starts with the pandamomo Simona LL mini hunt prize, another wonderful black mini dress with strapless styling. This one has a peekaboo cutout on the bodice, and the skirt is shorter in the back as I've noticed that most SL dresses tend to be. The top has a subtle design in which I saw a ghost, skull, crescent moon, and I believe a rose...what do you notice? I also included a closer view of my nails this evening, which are the [Ezmerelda's Dolls] Bento Nails [S]-[Black Nail Art] prize. There are Slink and Maitreya sizes included, and these long almond shaped nails have striking gold trim and artwork between the black tips and white bases. I have always loved that color combination, and it works with all of these dresses so well too!

I hope you're all having a pleasant day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
