FLF-O-Ween Part Two

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we have more FLF-O-Ween gifts to enjoy, all found at their wonderful event in various colored carved pumpkins. They are free if you join their FLF group for just $1L, which if you ask me is a fantastic bargain for all of these generous goodies. There are new releases for $50L each at over 100 booths, as well as all of these group gifts, so I highly suggest visiting and getting your gifts and demos then returning before the doors close on November 1st :) 

My first look this evening is the Vague. Tamera Dress FLF gift. It is a delightfully spooky tube dress with lots of bats shadowed on a dark background, with a particularly low neckline. We receive sizing for Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Reborn, Juicy, and Waifu mesh bodies. 

I kept the Vague dress on but added a very special accessory, the Hanna Shrug, Black gift from [The Forge]. It is a lovely covering for our shoulders, arms, and part of our hands, as you can see it loops around the thumb but leaves our fingers usefully free. There are eBody, Lara X, and Legacy mesh body sizes provided for this gift, all with 3 silver rings holding things in place in the front. We can wear this over top of so many different styles of tops and dresses, either strapless or spaghetti straps and anything BOM layered would be fun too.

I have more bats to share, thanks to our -Pixicat- Maret Dress gift. This swingy style dress has flared sleeves and a deep square neckline, perfect for showing off your favorite seasonal necklace perhaps? I'm loving the intense plum shade, dark but still showing off the black bats beautifully. This treat will fit Legacy, Perky, Lara X, Petite X, Flat X, Reborn, Juicy, and Waifu bodies.

Next I changed into the lovely Apple Blossom // Emily II No.17 gift dress, in a fun checkerboard pattern of green and palest blue. There are sizes for Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite mesh bodies included, and as you can see the left side of the skirt is slit all the way up to the waist. This means if you want to keep certain private parts, umm, more private LOL, please add some pasties or a C-string of some sort :) My avi really needed a beverage at this point, so I just had to taste what's in our EAMONI. Trick or Treat Tumbler. It is definitely topped with whipped cream and colored sprinkles, but the rest is up to our imaginations, so it could be a smoothie or iced coffee, or rich milkshake or even a blended treat like a blizzard. I think our striped straw might need to be wider if it was something too thick though, so I've decided that mine is a decaf iced chai latte.

For my final look of the evening, I'm showing off my new manicure :) This thoughtful gift is the Veechi - Acid Drop Gels mesh nails, sharp stilettos that fit several male and female bodies: Belleza, Gen X, eBody Reborn, Erika, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Belleza Jake, Kario, Legacy Male, Signature Davis, Geralt, Gianni, and Slink male. Just hide the nails built into your hands with the body's HUD, then add the corresponding mesh attachment in the gift. Then you can add the HUD to select from 5 colors, all dripping with a soft shimmer. There is also a HUD included to hide/show individual nails. I just saw a RL tutorial on how to do this type of design recently, so it made me chuckle to see it so much easier here in SL.

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

Superb Swank Gifts

 Hiya everyone! Tonight's post is full of gifts from the SWANK Halloween Pumpkin Hunt, but don't worry if hunting isn't your jam...the golden pumpkins with Swank logo carved into the front are easy to find. Many booths have them prominently displayed, and we just need the free Swank group tag active to be able to click them and claim our treats. We have until the end of the month, yes Halloween day, to finalize our purchases and pick up all these wonderful gifts :)

My first look definitely lives up to its name, the TO.KISKI - Mady Sexy Dress Dove. You can probably tell that from many angles, the top is quite revealing, and the short hem is lifted on the left side to show off a little cheek. The gift includes sizes for Legacy, Perky, Pinup Bombshell, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies.

I'm having Stranger Things flashbacks and I love it! The #SHOOSH - Dustybun Outfit [FATPACK] gift is a flirty set whose cropped top and sporty shorts each fit Belleza Classic, Belleza Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. There is also a HUD with 20 colors for each, tinting the sleeves and neckline of the top and the main fabric for the shorts. Sexy Hellfire Club is of course a reference to Stranger Things (a DnD club), and Dustybun was the nickname given to one of the characters by his girlfriend :) I know the fifth and final season of the show is in the works, but no idea when we can expect it.

Next I shimmied into the sexy *ASIA* HELEN red gift. The top, shorts, and heels are all sized for Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh bodies, while the leggings are BOM so they will work with any of those brands and more. The floral lace pattern is so sexy, and goes really nicely with the satin of the rest of the look. 

Do you love purple, and need a creative look for your next Halloween party? The {Le'La} Dracona Costume V3 gives a playful mix of bat and dragon, and even includes a snuggle buddy ♥. The top, skirt, and boots are each provided in Freya, Kupra (Bimbo, Low, Original), Legacy, Perky, and Maitreya mesh body sizing, and the gift also includes the headpiece, wings, tail, and battie plush I'm showing off. The wings are animated so they are gently flapping while worn, very nice detail. The boots are decorated with stars, and did you notice the gold chains draped on the right side of the belt? Shiny treasure for any dragon to enjoy.

My final look of the evening is one of our treats from V8 Underground, their **TRINITY MATRIX CONCEPT COSTUME COMPLETE OUTFIT**. This amazing gift is a brilliant nod to the action hero, with sleek leather coat and boots in sizing for Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh bodies. The pants and gloves are BOM layers, and we also receive the shades I'm wearing and both guns with built in holding poses as shown. Now we just need someone in a Neo costume, and to dust off our favorite quotes from the movie :) Oohh maybe you can find someone to dress up as Agent Smith! 

It was a busy evening, and for my outing I went to a local Hallmark store and found a really cute card to congratulate my cousin and his wife on their new baby. I'm hoping to get a gift card of some sort to tuck inside, not sure what would be the most useful though...torn between basic Amazon, something that'd provide food, or something baby-specific. I feel like I'd want hot food delivered while I was that busy with a newborn, but they didn't do a baby shower so I suspect there could be things they need for little Noah that a gift card could help with. The hardest part of my outing was the way home, which is not uncommon for me unfortunately. Oh well, I'm here and safe and doing fairly okay ;) I hope you're all having a beautiful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Boo! Bunny Hunt

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I'm switching gears from events to hunts, namely the Boo! Bunny Hunt 14. We are seeking pieces of candy, wrapped in green and orange wrappers, for $1L each in participating stores. The hints, landmarks, and previews can be found on the Evil Bunny website as usual :) Fourteen years is a long time for this wonderful hunt, and I plan on enjoying them for as long as they are a part of SL traditions. 

My first look this evening is the nope. eudora - beetlejuice prize, a fantastic cropped sweatshirt with cowl neck that will go well with your favorite pants or skirts. There are sizes for Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Legacy, Perky, Pinup, Maitreya, Petite, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. We also receive a HUD with 5 texture options, all of which have bones on the front and down each sleeve. Once upon a time I worked upstairs from a radiology clinic and did billing for the radiologists, so this gives me flashbacks that most people would not expect ;) Not bad ones, just what feels like a different lifetime. 

Our prize from The Bold Llama T-Shirt Co. is called GREEN WEEN Tee, the name of which alone made me smile :) The image on the front is a simply sketched skull with Happy Halloween above and below, so fun for this time of year. Find the candy for just $1L and you'll receive a delivery HUD with standard sizes as well as eBody Classic, eBody Reborn, Waifu, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP mesh body versions. Just unpack the one you need and hang onto the HUD for future reference if you wish. For both this photo and the first one, I'm wearing the blue pair of Delizio jeans from their fatpack which is free on the marketplace.

So I have some important explaining to do here...this is our EC Tula Dress Blue prize from Emerald Couture, but I did not find it at the mainstore linked on the hunt site. When I didn't see it anywhere at that location (looked for ages) I had a hunch to check their other store where their FabFree hunt prizes were hidden last month. There I managed to locate it, and it matched the hint perfectly too :) It could be a case of being out at both branches, but I am linking the one I actually found it at for you instead of the one on the website. This beautiful halter minidress comes in standard mesh sizing as well as for Erika, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Bombshell, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh body sizes. I love the vibrant color and the tropical pattern on the trim, a bit retro yet fully modern too. If you visit the mainstore you will find lots of affordable offerings there including prior hunt prizes, so it's always worth visiting too.

Next I'm enjoying the *Glitter Bunny* EBP-B!BH14 sweater, which is just long enough to get away with wearing as a dress if you are feeling bold ;) The $1L prize actually includes male and female versions, and what I'm wearing is the Elvira sweater for the ladies. It fits Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Legacy, Perky, Pinup, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, Waifu, and Star mesh bodies, with a HUD offering 8 textures which are 4 colors each in 2 patterns as shown. The men's turtleneck sweater is named Lenard and has the same 8 color/pattern options via its HUD, so you can coordinate or match perfectly if you and your favorite guy go somewhere together during the Halloween season.

My final look of the evening is a versatile duo of dresses from Artic Storm called *AS* Scandal Dress BooBerry 2. There are original and Halloween versions included, bet you can guess which one the bloodstained one is, each in sizing for Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Lara X, Reborn, and Waifu bodies. If you noticed a small string on my upper thigh, that's actually part of the bonus treat tucked inside - a BOM pair of panties :) The panties are tied on each hip and the tails trail down each side, so they are slightly visible peeking beneath. So fun! I always appreciate having underwear to match (it's about the color of the tie at the bodice of the dress) so I can be a bit modest and coordinated all at once. While you're there, be sure to show a little love to their Midnight Mania boards, both upstairs and down, so we can all win some more terrific outfits :)

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

FLF-O-Ween Gifts

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I'd like to invite you to the FLF-O-Ween shopping event, where you will find hundreds of special offers for $50L (FLF = Fifty Linden Fridays after all) and a bevy of gifts for the FLF group. There is currently a tiny $1L fee to join the group, which I think you'll find is more than fair when you see the sampling of the many gifts available :) We have over 2 weeks to visit since things wrap up on Halloween, so grab those demos and get ready to save some lindens while picking up high quality offers and of course the gifts!

My first look of the evening is the INDIGO - Mona Bandage Dress in Mummy. What a cleverly textured gift for this time of year! The dress has an open midriff that gives the appearance of two pieces but is worn as one, in sizing for Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. The bandaging has an aged sepia tone to it, and I can't wait to accessorize and wear it as a costume.

This gift from an aptly named store is the CryptKeeper // Nora Dress // No.22. It is a stunning strapless mini with bold cutouts on the front of each hip, and a fun zipper down the front just barely holding things in place ;) There are sizes for Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh bodies included, with a HUD that I couldn't seem to get any of the buttons to work for me, LOL, but had 4 metal options and some colors for the fatpack which this gift is not one of. Maybe the metals are only for the fatpack too, or my SL experience was being glitchy after it took me 4 tries to login. Some days are just like that.

This flirtatious beauty is the Ghoul - Bat Hive Dress, and it is loaded with possibilities. The dress, which comes in Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Reborn, and Waifu mesh body sizes, also has a HUD with 4 colors apiece for the dress, left sleeve, right sleeve, and collar, plus the ability to adjust the sheerness of each and choose from 12 specular colors. This affects the way the material responds to light, and is subtle here. Now I started playing with the HUD and got distracted, lol, so I accidentally left the sleeves red instead of orange on the right like I meant to, giving almost a haunted Christmas feeling. Speaking of holidays, how great is the store name Ghoul for a Halloween event? I hope the designer is friends with the CryptKeeper designer from the prior photo.

Mossu - Stars.Bodysuit is another versatile gift whose transparency can be adjusted, taking the dark blue color from misty to darkest midnight. This treat includes Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh body sizes, with a HUD that allows us to select from 8 metals and several transparency levels. The gift actually contains two goodies for us though, so please scroll a bit to see the other...

My final look shows off two gifts at once, so I'll start from the left. That would be the Mossu - Phoebe.Top - Halloween, which you'll find in the same folder as the bodysuit before. There are sizes for Lara X, Legacy, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies, with a terrific pattern of carved faces alit on a black background. The top itself looks like a bra and tank top layered together, very playful! The cutie on the right is our .BF. Wanda Top Print 3 gift from Beauty Factory, laced up both sides and with an intriguing neckline. This will fit Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Reborn, Juicy Boobs, and Waifu mesh bodies, and has a HUD with 5 metal colors for the rivets. The purple and black fabric has bats, winged eyeballs, and coffins on it for a special spooky feel. As I often do, I've reached into my inventory for a favorite from the marketplace, the blue pair of jeans from the Delizio fatpack that is ours for free. 

My weekend was decent, with the return of regular season hockey and some holiday scheduling with the family as we look ahead to Thanksgiving. I know Canada just had theirs, and I think I'd enjoy more time between our Thanksgiving and Christmas because less than a month is awfully close together. My therapy session went well earlier, and I have a lot to think about as always. It is a busy time in SL as you can tell, with all these wonderful events and hunts, so I am also having fun planning my next several posts :) I hope you're all having a lovely day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

More Shop & Hop

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we're headed to the Gilded region of Halloween Shop & Hop, which is one of 20 regions packed with talented designers offering discounted sales and free gifts. As always I must share the extremely helpful FabFree spreadsheet with all the details about the gifts we can find, and I thank them for their hard work. I look forward so eagerly to each round of Shop & Hop, as the offerings are always incredible and I manage to find affordable ways to treat myself each time :) It is a mix of old familiar brands and some new-to-me (or new to the whole grid) stores that I am always happy to learn about. The fun continues into early next month, so you have a few weeks left to visit and enjoy. 

My first look of the evening is the flirty RosenRot - Selena Halloween Gift. It looks like two pieces but they are linked together and worn as one, in sizes for Belleza Classic, Belleza Curvy, Erika, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn mesh bodies. the jack o' lantern face on the top is such a fun addition, and plaid looks great in black and orange :) The rear view is a bit cheeky, so you may need to add some undies to wear this to some locations.

I can never resist a gift from Kaithleen's, for example this gorgeous Amy Dress - Plum. The silky slip dress is provided in Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Reborn, and Juicy Boobs sizes, with a HUD that offers 20 colors each for the lining and wiring. On the right I've tinted the lining dark blue and the wiring a lighter blue, so you can tell that it's the edge vs. the straps on the top :) The opening on the left hip is particularly revealing, and with the texturing it gives the impression of flowing satin in motion.

Our gift box from Candy Kitten gives us 2 dresses and one cute snuggle buddy, all for free! Be sure to give that a click then :) I am wearing the *CK* Deep night dress HALLOWEEN on the left, with *CK* Deep night dress SKELLETON on the right. Each of these come in sizing for eBody, Juicy, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Gen X Classic, and Gen X Curvy, plus a HUD with 3 colors for the lace trim. The decorations on the bottom of the Halloween version are adorable, and the ribbons on the skeleton say Pretty Mind, Pretty Heart, Pretty Soul which made me smile. Speaking of smiles, the *CK* Here kitty kitty monster toy will probably help you bring lots of those when you add it to your outfit :) It's got a built in hold pose as seen, and is really nicely designed.

Next I changed into the SNS FRANKIE TOP S&H HALLOWEEN GIFT from SUGAR & SPICE. This fun tube top has a HUD that lets us pick from 10 textures each for bra and band portions, and we can adjust the opacity of each too. There are 4 solid colors as well as some seasonal patterns like you see above. The gift includes Erika, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh body sizes.

My final look is an intriguing gift for a few reasons. TheMuses - Embroidered Gown is provided in two colors, orange and noir, each of which are included in shape 1 and shape 2 versions along with an alpha layer that must be worn to hide most of your mesh body. This way the long sleeved, high necked, full length dress is the star of the show :) It is suitable for various roleplay (Victorian era?) and has embossing that shows up beautifully with the ambient lighting wherever you wear it. For that reason I rezzed out a small light to really bring out the materials. Isn't it stunning?

Some people lead rather quiet lives, so when they say their day was an adventure it is probably not a very good thing. It's me, I am some people, LOL. I did make it to my doctor visit, and we decided to switch medication which I agree with so that is not a bad thing. The difficulty arose when I mentioned my inability to get to the lab to get the blood drawn, and she offered to have a nurse draw it there. I was hoping for this honestly, since I was already there somehow and 'might as well'. The problem was that they don't draw blood very often so the nurses there are not as experienced, and my deep tiny veins did not want to play nicely. Two attempts, two nurses, one blown vein, but we finally got the one lousy tube of blood to do a single lab test. Sigh. My right elbow crease looks like someone jammed a plum under the skin, both color and size, so that's fun...yes I've iced it, yes it is sore, and yes, being online and using a mouse with that arm/hand is probably a bad idea. But yes, Dawn is a stubborn magpie :P  So now it's all about waiting, for the arm to heal and the meds to do their thing. I hope you all have a fantastic weekend ahead, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Put A Spell On You

 Hiya everyone! Tonight there's magic in the air, thanks to the I Put A Spell On You Hunt 4 from Cheeky Monkey hunts. Their participating designers have hidden pumpkins in their stores with either $1L hunt prizes or $25L or $50L exclusive offerings. Be sure to check the hunt website for the landmarks, prices, hints, and preview images so you know what you're seeking :) Just please don't ask me to choose a favorite from among these looks, because it is truly too hard to decide among these amazing treats!

My first look is the wonderful ST - Hexalina outfit which is our $25L exclusive from Simple Terms. The sweatshirt, jeans, and boots are each provided in Maitreya, Lara X, and Star mesh body sizing, with a spooky little bonus of a cursed voodoo doll. Just touch it to hear a scream! The sweatshirt says "I play with Dolls" with another voodoo doll next to the text, making your intentions clear. Our ankle boots are a perfect match for the background color of the sweatshirt, and those jeans are a versatile classic that I simply adore.

Those jeans came in handy to show you the $1L prize from Starlight Apparel, the flirty .{SA}. Wrenly Bralett Ghost. There are lots of sizes included - Gen X Classic, Classic Squishy, Gen X Curvy, Curvy Squishy, Legacy, Bombshell, Nerido, Petite, Maitreya, Petite, Smash, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, and Juicy mesh bodies. The cheery ghosts look so cute against the dusky teal background that is also decorated with candy corns.

The Bold Llama T-Shirt Co. is always a great place to visit during our favorite hunts, and they have 3 amazing offerings for this one :) The GIRLS WILL BE GIRLS Tee is the $25L exclusive seen on the left above, with 4 witches at a round table, surrounding a crystal ball, just an example of "girls will be girls" as it says beneath. Then I changed into our BORN TO DIE Tee, a $50L exclusive with a couple standing near a gravestone with the wording "BORN TO DIE, Thanks Mom & Dad" across the image. That cackling you heard wasn't the coven of witches from the other shirt, it was me reacting to the shirt ;) I really did let out an odd throaty laugh when I saw it, and instantly knew I had to share. All of their prizes come on unpacker HUDs that let you select from standard sizes as well as eBody Classic, eBody Reborn, Waifu, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP sizing. Did you notice the Simple Terms jeans again? I told you they were handy!

Over at Psyche's Pstyles, just find the $1L pumpkin to claim their lovely Death and Cupcakes Dress. It has some suspicious-but-tasty looking skull cupcakes on its pattern, with stars and eyeballs to round things out. The bright orange belt with bow really accentuates the frosting too :) Our prize includes Erika, Kupra, Kups, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn mesh body sizes. 

My final look of the evening is a perfect choice when you want a formal look with a touch of nature. The (TSB) I Put A Spell On You 4 Gown is our $1L prize from The Sissy Bar, a gorgeous full length dress with slight train. The bare shoulders and deep V neckline bring the sex appeal, and would nicely highlight your favorite choker or short necklace. The prize includes classic M and fitmesh M sizes, as well as Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh body sizing. The tropical leaves (monstera plant?) are a fun nod to any area, SL or RL, that is holding onto warm weather even into the fall.

It was a quiet day here, and I am definitely feeling all kinds of anxiety about my appointment tomorrow afternoon with the primary care doctor. I know I definitely need to go though, so we can discuss my current meds (clearly not working at this dose) and how much more difficult it's been to leave the house. It is such a relief that she is only a few blocks away, a nice quick trip for an important reason. I should bring something distracting but quiet like a book for the waiting room, rather than a phone that would be just loud enough to distract others :) I hope you're all having a beautiful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Halloween Swank Treats

 Hiya everyone! Tonight's post is an invitation to the Halloween themed round of the SWANK Event, where they are holding their annual Pumpkin Hunt. Now I know they call it a hunt, but it's more of an exploration of their large 2 story building, clicking all the pumpkins you can find with the golden Swank logo on the front. They are located similarly to their anniversary gifts I shared last month :) Dozens and dozens of gifts await, just have their free group tag active to be able to click those pumpkins and receive a bounty of treats. I would say that many but not all are Halloween themed, so no worries if you either aren't ready for Halloween yet, are already tired of it (goodness I hope not because I'll have more!) or simply are not a fan of the holiday. Usually my posts for all of October are filled with orange and black, pumpkins, bats, and all sorts of seasonal goodies because the SL community seems to go all in on it :)

My first look is the [Pink&Love] Scarlett - Outfit - FAT PACK, found inside their pretty pumpkin. There are several colors (ciel, dust, lilac, onyx, pinky witch, and violet) each packaged separately with the top, skirt, sleeves, and garters in regular and maze versions each in sizing for Belleza Classic, Belleza Curvy, Erika, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn bodies. I'm wearing the pinky witch on the left, and violet on the right. Oops did I mention that the unrigged hat is provided with each color? The outfit looks so soft and velvety, very playful indeed.

This is the second time this week I have felt like my look was inspired by an album cover :) This time I can't recall what album though, so please comment if you know? This is the ANNA-Halloween gift, a sexy feathered bikini and gold trimmed wings, all with a 5 color HUD which tints it all at once. The bikini top and bottom each fit Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh bodies. We can easily wear this without the wings if preferred, although I am a fan of the full look because the more feathers the better.

I look remarkably cheerful here for someone who is splattered with an ominous red liquid, eh? ;) Our [ZEX] Lilith Top & Skirt . Bloody gift has sizes inside for Erika, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Nerido, Maitreya, Reborn, and Juicy mesh bodies. The top has three straps, the center of which connects to the intriguing collar, and even the hem of the top has a double dip that reminds me of a bat wing. Of course my avi is too sweet and innocent for that to be blood, so do we think I was making strawberry jam? Walking too close to a paintball court? Maybe I wandered into an art exhibit...

The Sascha's Designs gift is called SAS - Mona Orange Outfit, and I'm digging the fact that its color is a nod to the season without being strictly limited to October :) The jumpsuit and matching jacket are each provided in Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, and Reborn mesh body sizes. We can wear them together or enjoy the jumpsuit with bared shoulders if we wish, but those cuffed sleeves are such a cute touch on the jacket. Speaking of nice touches, I am a big fan of the dangling strands from the attached belt on the jumpsuit and the way they are tipped in shiny metal.

My final look of the evening can be yours just for clicking the Black Angel store's pumpkin :) PURPLE WITCH OUTFIT by BA Store includes the dramatic high-low hemmed dress and matching boots, each sized for Freya, Isis, Hourglass, Kupra (Bimbo, Low, Original), Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite mesh bodies. There is also a tall witchy hat that is included but not shown, as I was having a little trouble adjusting it because I have a large head and lots of hair, much like RL ;) The dress is a stunner with bare shoulders, spooky gravestones and trees on the front, and an entire flock of bats on the long back of the skirt. Fun fact, a group of bats can also be called a colony or cauldron among other names. I've always wondered who decides those things as sometimes I see conflicting info when looking up names of animal groups, but cauldron feels just right for this time of year.

I should know better by now than to make plans, because life always comes along and says 'nope'. I had to cancel my outing with my mom due to a non-anxiety related health issue, something that likes to crop up from time to time and prevents me from being in a moving vehicle. So I'll see her Friday for dinner as long as that doesn't somehow fall through, heh, like if my visit with my family doctor that day goes horribly awry. I'm not trying to jinx myself, just a bit frustrated and letting pessimism creep into my attempt to be realistic. It'll be okay, and if not I will deal with it when the time comes. I have several blog posts planned from Swank, Shop & Hop, and hunts, so it is a busy week with lots to see and enjoy. I hope you're all having a beautiful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
