Even The Nights Are Better

Hiya everyone! Tonight I have a few wonderful places for us to visit, starting with Free Dove for more mini hunt prizes from Caramelo de Fresa, hiding in small boxes with their logo on the front (pink lips and a bubble) and bright pink sides. Just have your Free Dove group tag (free to join) active to claim them for absolutely free! Then we visit DAZZLE again, this time to enjoy an exclusive offer from Enigma Apparel that will help you look extra sultry on a summer night out. We also visit The Avenue for a lacy delight from LIVIA, because our nails deserve to look incredible. As for the title of the post, I figure these treats should make everyone's night a little better, and it's an old song that popped into my head somehow.


For my first look, I am wearing the Caramelos de fresa prize called Greta, a mesh skirt in fitmesh standard sizes plus Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, and Tonic Fine. There is also a HUD provided that lets you choose from 7 colors (including solid black as seen on the right) and that HUD is also where you'll find appliers for the top: Belleza, Maitreya, Omega, and Slink in 7 colors. The shirts are also included as system layers for our classic avatar fans. There are plenty of possibilities here, just find the hidden gift and have fun!


This flirty find is another prize hiding at Free Dove, the Caramelo de fresa Ambar which includes top and skirt in sizes for Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and standard mesh sizes. The enclosed HUD lets you pick from 8 colors for each, so you can mix and match to your heart's content. 


How fun are the cutouts and dangerously low back on this prize? :) This is Caramelos de fresa Mar, in sizes for Belleza Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique. As you can probably guess, there is a HUD provided for this as well, with 18 total texture choices. There are 12 solid colors plus 6 patterns, and I was particularly drawn to the florals but it looks terrific in any choice.


Next we head to DAZZLE and the Enigma Apparel display, where you will find this stunning [EN] Mitsue Dress for just $80L. It includes sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique, and features a gorgeous cherry blossom print that is a perfect match for the June theme of our event. You will only find this beauty at DAZZLE, so be sure to visit before the 25th!


I consider nails to be the ultimate accessory, since all of our mesh hands have them and there are countless ways to dress them up. These elegant designs are LIVIA's offer at The Avenue this round, called Laced Pearl Nails, and they can be yours for just $159L. There are 14 designs (7 each on two background shades) and 6 manicure mixes for Maitreya and Astralia, and the HUDs are compatible with Slink, Omega, Maitreya, Vista, and Astralia Almond. There are tiny pearls adorning some of the designs, and the lace in black or white adds another feminine touch. Be sure to pick yours up at The Avenue event, which lasts until the 22nd of June. The event location is in my ending credits, and the LIVIA mainstore link is in my right sidebar as always.

I hope you are all enjoying your day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Midweek Treats

Hiya everyone! Tonight we start exploring another Free Dove mini hunt, courtesy of  Caramelo de Fresa. The prizes are hidden in small boxes with the store logo (lips and a pink bubble) on the front, and bright pink sides which make them easier to spot. All you need is the Free Dove group tag active, and a little patience to search Free Dove and find them :) There are 6 at Free Dove and 4 at the Caramelo de fresa mainstore, and tonight's are all located at the Free Dove. I also have some wonderful DAZZLE event exclusives to show you, from SALTY and Mani Pedi. They each brought a smile to my face, so I hope they can do the same for you. I am also wearing the newest Truth Hair VIP gift, whose tropical vibe suits these looks perfectly.


We start with prize #1 from Caramelo de fresa, their Valentina 3 outfit. It includes the top and skirt each in standard mesh sizes, the rosa (rose for cleavage), corona (crown of flowers) and sandals for Slink Flat feet. The wreath of flowers have a bright green bow in the back holding them together, I mention it because it seems to blend in with my background but I wanted you to know it was there because it adds to the beauty. 


This pretty prize is the Caramelo de fresa Vanessa 1, with more flirty ruffles on our dress in standard mesh sizes. It includes the same accessories as the previous one, the crown of flowers and single rose for the neckline, and those fun Slink Flat sandals. 


Next we have the third prize from the mini hunt, Caramelo de fresa Natalia. It consists of a swimsuit top in 5 standard, 5 fitmesh, Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink sizes, with the bottoms included in 5 fitmesh sizes plus Belleza, Maitreya, Slink Hourglass, and Physique versions. The gift also includes a pair of dark grey thigh high boots, not shown. The flower in my hair is part of the hairstyle and not the prize, more details on the hair at the end of the post.


Time to head to DAZZLE and their Cherry Blossom theme, where you can find this beautiful outfit at the ! SALTY! display. It is called Misumi Outfit and comes in several color choices including the Blue I'm wearing on the left, and Cherry seen on the right, each just $99L and exclusively at DAZZLE. The top and pants each include Freya, Isis, Hourglass, Physique, and Maitreya sizes, and the perfectly themed pattern looks great on those ruffled pants and sleeves that leave delicately bared shoulders. 


I do love any opportunity to dress up my nails, and ~Mani Pedi~ has a dreamy way to do just that. They are offering their Hanayome Polish HUDs in your choice of Slink, Omega, or Maitreya, just $60L each. There are 5 shades of pearly pink on each, with a gold band separating the lighter tips from the main color. These are so beautiful, and can work with any shape or length nail you prefer. 

Hair note of the night: as I mentioned above, I am sporting the newest Truth Hair VIP group gift, her name is Fiji and she certainly has an island feeling that is reflected in her accessories, a flower for each side with a HUD to change colors. The style itself can be changed via the Stylist HUD, tucked behind each ear or brought in front of each shoulder. I am always eager to see each new release and VIP gift for this group, I will never regret the one time join fee :) Potter fans - this long sheet of hair makes me want to use the blondes HUD, pick a pale silvery shade, and be a veela like Fleur!

My day was nothing out of the ordinary, and sometimes that is a very good thing because it can be relatively relaxing that way. I hope you are all having a beautiful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

WellMade and DAZZLE

Hiya everyone! Tonight we will be exploring more of the Free Dove mini hunt by [WellMade], the second part of which takes place at WellMade's mainstore. You will be looking for the same small black boxes with white dove outlines on them, but this time instead of the Free Dove group you will need the WellMade store tag. Their group is free to join too, with some gifts for you on a back wall and lucky boards upstairs for those who have their group tag active. All in all, a worthwhile group to join :) I am also displaying a free gift from Baby Monkey, no group required, and a marketplace gift from Delizio that appears here pretty often. Last but certainly not least, we visit the beautiful DAZZLE event and see another exclusive offer for sale there, this time from Anny's Fashion. Lots to see, so let's get started!


For my first look I decided to err on the modest side and layer a shirt beneath this revealing dress, so I chose a free gift from Baby Monkey. It is their BM Baby Tees Basics, in 10 colors and provided as system layers and appliers for Belleza, Maitreya, Omega, and Slink. No group needed, just head to the FREE section to the right from the landing area and you'll see other treats you can claim for free as well, just pay $1L and be automatically refunded. It is a good excuse to visit their new store location, too :) Now for the denim dress, we visit [WellMade] at their mainstore location and search for those dove prizes, one of which holds their flirty Zuleika Outfit. It comes in sizes for Belleza Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique, and as you can see the bra cups are open and the skirt is fairly short so layering is a nice option. That rear view is a bit cheeky ;) 


Next we have another look that is admittedly on the revealing side, but I decided to show it as is :) This prize is the [WellMade] Nicia Top, in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique. The teal color is lovely and the subtle striping reminds me of marble. The crisscrossed straps in the front and back are a fun touch, along with that sweet frill beneath the bust.


This top is another playful prize, this one called [WellMade] Anjali Top and it is provided in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine. The tiny floral print is complemented by the cream colored trim and fun straps on the sides, a little natural air conditioning for the hot weather perhaps. It will go with anything from your favorite jeans to a skirt for a more dressy look, it's all up to you.


Our next top is another floral patterned treat, called Samuelle Shirt, in sizes for Maitreya, Slink Hourglass, and Slink Physique. The single bare shoulder really catches the eye, with a short sleeve and small cuff on the left as contrast. This is another versatile gift that will pair well with anything your imagination leads you to choose.


For my final look of the evening, we head to DAZZLE and more specifically, the anny's Fashion display where you will find their [AF] Guilhermina Dress Hot Day fatpack. It includes sizes for Altamura, eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Slink Hourglass, Slink Physique, and TMP, with a color HUD offering 8 choices. All this is just $165L and exclusively at DAZZLE this round. The texture is fantastic, giving the look of a luxuriously delicate fabric that we can dance the night away in. 

I hope you're all enjoying your day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

WellMade at Free Dove

Hiya everyone! Tonight we have some prizes from one of the mini hunts for June at Free Dove, from [WellMade]. There are 10 gifts in total, 6 hiding at the Free Dove and 4 at WellMade's mainstore, so tonight we are focusing on the ones found at Free Dove. They are all in small flat black boxes with a white dove outline on them, which is the same hunt object they used for their last mini hunt in December. In case you're wondering how I remembered that so well, LOL, I actually found one of the December prizes still hidden at Free Dove, and it said December 2017 in its hovertext. I certainly knew I had enjoyed one of their mini hunts before, and am pleased to be able to share more of their quality offerings with all of you again. Speaking of quality offers, I also have a special selection from the DAZZLE event to show you, from Cygnus Designs. Wait until you see the layout of DAZZLE this month, their Cherry Blossom theme has inspired a walk through an outdoor venue that is a visual treat on top of the wonderful exclusives and sales that we already know to expect.


For my first look I am wearing two different prizes, both versatile enough to wear with plenty of your favorite wardrobe pieces or you can pick up something else new at Free Dove to match them with. The top is their [WM] Nixie Top with a fun camo print, in sizes for Belleza Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique. The skirt is called Verania Skirt, and includes sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine. Please keep in mind that these sizes are guidelines and you may find they fit other bodies or classic avatars, so don't be afraid to give them a try. These prizes, as with all the ones hidden at Free Dove, do need the Free Dove group tag for you to claim them, but it is free to join and so well worth the group slot. All the gifts there are available to group members, not just the hunt prizes.


Another pair of prizes can be seen here, both found at Free Dove in those tiny black boxes with white doves. The top is the [WellMade] Posy Top, a pretty halter with built in belt and a flattering white inset that enhances our cleavage, in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine. The [WellMade] Freda Pants come in the same mesh sizes, with a playful print and solid pockets that make great accents. You can wear either of these separates with just about anything that makes you happy, be creative!


If I had to choose a favorite among these (all terrific) hunt prizes, I think I would go with this [WellMade] Cherice Dress, with its lovely floral pattern and peekaboo opening in the back with the perky bow for even extra flair. The dress is provided in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine, and is a nice choice for something summery that still has a deep color to it.


For a pop of pink, be sure to find the prize containing [WellMade] Santina Dress, in sizes for Maitreya and Slink Hourglass. It is a flowing style that could potentially fit other bodies too, and I love the different straps for a unique look. This style reminds me of a toga made high fashion by shortening it and adding those slender straps.


Are you ready to explore DAZZLE and some gorgeous cherry blossoms? While you're there, be sure to visit the Cygnus Designs display, where you can find this breathtaking Island Flower Dress for just $60L. In addition to a fitmesh size, it includes Hourglass, Hourglass Petite, Slink, and Slink Petite versions, and the fitmesh size fit my Maitreya body wonderfully with no adjustments needed. The shades of pink and red really caught my attention, as such a pretty floral pattern will do too.

Somehow our weekend has flown by, but that just means we have a fresh new week filled with possibilities ahead :) Last week was a rough one here, so I'm grateful for the chance to make this one better. I hope you're all having a marvelous day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Sn@tch Gets A Little Bit Wild

Hiya everyone! Tonight we get wild with the newest fishing set at Sn@tch, which is called A Little Bit Wild Redux. Among the 22 pieces there are 6 mesh tops (sizes standard, Belleza Freya, Isis, Venus, eBody, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine) in various animal prints, and 4 colors of leather pants in system layers and an Omega applier. The set also contains 3 colors of the same great hairstyle, each in 2 sizes so you can choose your best fit. As for accessories, we have shoes (Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink Mid sizes), earrings, a bracelet, an arm band, and a hot pair of sunglasses. All you need to fish is a 7 Seas fishing rod (reusable, can be purchased here or anywhere that sells 7 Seas rods) and some patience :) Optional but oh so helpful, friends to fish with you so you can swap your spares since these are all transferable. That helps you complete your sets faster, as I can verify from having Xan by my side for all these fishing sets. I am very grateful for his assistance, as always. The creative force behind Sn@tch, Ivey, mentioned in the notecard Wednesday that many had requested an updated version of these outfits for mesh bodies, so I'm really excited that she was able to accommodate and help us get wild.


Here is your first look at the terrific Sn@tch Rhea Hair, which I am wearing in Black. It is a mass of loose curls, with the top swept to one side and a single tendril in front of the left eye. Very sexy! Speaking of sexy, this Sn@tch Wild Halter Top in Cheetah can easily be described that way, and so can the Sn@tch Carnal Leather Pants, which I am sporting in Grey here. 


I switched over to the Rhea Hair in Red for this photo, and on the left I am wearing the Wild Halter Top in Tiger, in Zebra to the right. This shirt has an amazing rear view, doesn't it? From the front you get the full effect of the animal print, then from behind the open style really draws the eye. The pants are the Carnal Leather Pants in Ocean, a rich aqua tone that works well with the various prints. I have also added our Sn@tch Wild Satin Wedges in Black, the Slink Mid version, with a strip of rhinestones down the front of each foot.


Three changes here, the first being into the Wild Halter Top in Giraffe print, which made me smile thinking of all the excitement last year with April the giraffe being the most watched pregnancy on the internet ;) I have also added the Sn@tch Wild Bangles in Black, which are for the left wrist. Another addition is my earrings, large hoops that are actually snakes when you look closer, called Sn@tch Wild Earrings. Random fun fact: the right earring, #22 of this set, was the hardest for Xan and me to catch, so it was like a stubborn missing puzzle piece and a huge relief to catch.


Next I get to have fun as a blonde (don't worry, I have fun no matter what hair color I wear!) with the Rhea Hair in Ash Blonde. My top here is the Wild Halter Top in Pony, while my pants are changed to the Oxblood version of our Carnal Leather Pants. The other addition here is the Sn@tch Studded Arm Band in Black, a playful accessory that nicely suits the bracelets and shoes with the similar coloring. 


One last look of the evening, as my avi is either saluting or running her hand through her ash blonde waves...the salute could be inspired by the Camo version of the Wild Halter Top, looking sharp with the Carnal Leather Pants in Black. I am also thinking she might be about to adjust her new Sn@tch Wild Cateye Sunglasses, which look fantastic with the hair and the outfits. That has always been my favorite shape of shades, not even sure exactly why but they always draw my attention. If they captured yours too, be sure to get to Sn@tch and indulge in some fishing!

I had a decent day, it was a hot and muggy day that led to evening rain, but I was only out and about in the morning and early afternoon to make a few stops before visiting my favorite farmers market. I got some tasty goodies as usual, and chatted with the very charming people who make it such a special part of my weekends. I hope you're all having a wonderful weekend, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

More Gifts from Shoenique

Hiya everyone! Tonight we are heading to Shoenique Designs again to pick up more of their terrific group gifts, and as I mentioned yesterday their group is free to join. There are many prior gifts available, plus the benefits of members only lucky boards with your group tag active. There is even a huge sale running at the moment, so you can save money in several different ways with one fun trip.


This beauty is called **SD** April Dress 3, and has a sheer skirt layer with a slit over a solid mini dress, trimmed in lace for a pretty off-the-shoulder look. The gift includes fitmesh standard sizes plus versions for Belleza Freya, Isis, Venus, eBody, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, and Tonic Fine. 


Next we have the **SD** September 2016 Group Gift, a very flirty dress that reminds me of stained glass. There are system layers and an Omega applier for the top and glitch pants, and a mesh skirt panel in standard sizes. There are also flexi skirts parts 1 and 2, for added movement and fullness. 


We have another revealing look thanks to our **SD** February Group Gift dress, system layers plus an Omega applier as well as skirt panels in standard mesh sizes. There is something so alluring about lace, and red is a go-to color for when we are feeling sexy or romantic. Speaking of said color, I am also wearing another group gift here on my feet, **SD** Group Gift red Heels. They come in sizes for Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink High, with a pert bow on the top and slender stilettos that make our legs look even more shapely. I like pairing them with the dress even if they are different shades of crimson, but naturally suggest you wear them with whatever makes you happy. There were red gifts in my post yesterday that they would look stunning with as well.


This delightful denim dress is their May 2 Group Gift Dress, in standard sizes plus Freya, Isis, Venus, eBody, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine fits. There are so many fun details, such as the zipper all the way down the front edged by floral embroidery, with the top peeking ever so slightly open. I paired it with the **SD** Nadine Necklace April Gift 1, featuring bold diamonds set in glamorous gold. There are several other dresses it will look equally striking with, so go ahead and try them all on together and see what tickles your fancy.


One last look for the night, this is the **SD** November 2016 Group Gift which is a single mesh piece with the appearance of two (3 if you count the belt) in sizes for Belleza, Maitreya, Slink, TMP, and fitmesh standard sizing. It is casually cute, a very put together look that just needs your favorite shoes and perhaps a pair of earrings or a bracelet to add some shimmer if you wish. 

Whew, what a day! It was good and bad, and involved a lot of rushing around, so I need to take some deep slow breaths and try to unwind. It is amazing how memories can be unleashed and feel overwhelming, even happy ones that involve people no longer in your life. I remember those mood things you could put on myspace or wherever, and change as often as you wanted to a word and emoji, I guess mine tonight would be retrospective or something along those lines. Many magical magpie hugs to everyone, and have a great weekend!!

Shoenique Gifties

Hiya everyone! Tonight we have some group gifts to see, from Shoenique Designs and their free-to-join store group. There are many previous gifts on the back wall of the store, and there are group only lucky boards to enjoy as well while you're picking up those gifts. Their offerings include clothing, shoes, and even jewelry, so you will find a nice range among their products. In addition, they are currently having a huge $50L sale in the store, so be sure to shop around and treat yourself!


My first look is their **SD** February Group Gift 1, and includes this beautiful dress in fitmesh standard sizes as well as Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink versions. The formfitting shape is very flattering and makes me look extra curvaceous, and I love the soft floral pattern.


For something more dramatic, be sure to claim their January 2017 gift Sleeveless Dress. It includes fitmesh standard sizes and versions for Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink, and has great details like the golden belt and knit texture with contrasting trim.


The **SD** May 1 Dress gift includes what I call the lucky 13 of mesh sizes: 5 classic, 5 fitmesh, Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink. The halter style with slit in the front and longer back add up to a really fun look, and I particularly like the tie dye with peace symbols.


This playful dress is the April 1 Group Gift 2018, a strapless mini with sheer multi-layered skirt and a lavender flower attachment (front lower bodice, just above the waistline) that you can wear or leave off to slightly change the look. The dress itself comes in sizes for standard, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique. I am wearing it with another group gift, **SD** April Heels, which are included in sizes for Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink High feet. The silver is neutral that will go with just about anything, while adding that special sparkle.


My final look of the night is the **SD** August Summer Dress group gift, which comes in standard fitmesh sizes plus Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink versions. These are big and bold flowers on a papery white background, and our dress has a very deep scoop in the back for a dramatic rear view. If only all drama looked this good ;)

Good news, my dad was released from the hospital earlier, so he is home and very glad to be so. It is definitely a relief that he is on the path to recovery and able to be where he is most comfortable, and able to eat again. The weekend is almost here, and the new month will bring plenty of treats for me to share with all of you like hunts and events, so I'm excited about that too. I hope you're all enjoying your day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
