Shop and Hop Poppy

 Hiya everyone! Tonight it's time to see some of the Halloween Shop & Hop gifts from the Poppy region, one of 20 that each have 20 designers' displays with a gift in every single one. The regions are decorated to theme, but the discounted offerings and gifts are not required to be themed, although many are. If you want to see more info on all of them, I highly suggest the FabFree spreadsheet with images. You can sort it with the bottom tabs by type of gift, region, or even see large pictures of each treat being offered :) Shop & Hop keeps hopping until the 3rd of November, so just a few days past Halloween. I am using both Maitreya bodies in this post, 5.3 and Lara X, depending on the sizes available in each gift.

My first look this evening is our *LuLu* Battina gift. This black leather top and skirt set really does call to mind the intricate wings of a bat, and has bold seams with X stitching to highlight them. There are sizes for Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Maitreya, Reborn, Juicy, and Waifu mesh bodies of each piece included. 

I kept that skirt on here but changed into the Manikin - Be a Witch - Q-Tees Tank Top gift. It says "In a world full of princesses, Be A Witch" alongside a woman in witchy garb with a broom, cat, and cauldron. Wonder what she's brewing up? :) There are sizes for Freya, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies.

[Pixel Doll] has two terrific treats waiting for us, which we can combine to make a full coordinated outfit. Their Missy Dress Halloween Set 01 is a single mesh piece with the look of two, a top and skirt that are linked by playful suspenders. The dusky light orange looks great against the black of the main outfit, and I really like the short poofed sleeves and bare midriff, plus that cute bow on the back! It fits Erika, Freya, Isis, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh bodies. Then I added the [Pixel Doll] Missy Halloween Shoes & Socks Set 01, which is provided in the same sizes with the exception of Perky since that is a bust mod and our socks don't come up that high ;) They are nicely detailed too, with bold stripes and tiny bows.

At this point I changed into my Maitreya Lara X body, and am enjoying the LOVE Fashion - Boo! Shirt gift. This beauty (boo-ty?) is provided in sizing for Lara X, Petite X, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Perky Petite, and Reborn mesh bodies. The ghosts are saying "Boo!" in speech bubbles, and their fringy sheets almost mimic the long bows of the ties on our sides. Cropped shirts are so much fun in SL, and this one could be paired with just about any pants or skirts you like. I've grabbed the black pair of Delizio jeans from my virtual closet, as they fit all my bodies like a charm thanks to BOM layers.

My final look of the evening is our AnaSTyle gift called Marissa Dark Blue Navy Dress. It is a low cut strapless mini with checked pattern belt tied around the waist. Claim this treat and you will find Lara X, Legacy, Perky, Reborn, and Waifu mesh body sizing tucked inside :) I think some white or silver jewelry would dress this up wonderfully, and I'd even think about layering something with sleeves over it in chilly weather.

Whew, this weekend felt really hectic for some reason. I'm still thinking over some things discussed in therapy earlier, and pondering a dream I had before that because it was just so weird and detailed. Our brains are amazingly creative sometimes, for good or bad I suppose. I haven't decided yet what I'll be blogging tomorrow, but there are multiple possibilities and I just have to pick one. I hope you're all having a fantastic day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Halloween at Bipolar

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we are visiting the Bipolar store, whose group is currently free to join (I believe that is temporary) and who are holding a Halloween hunt. It is a very tricky one, as we are looking for teeny tiny ghosts which are flat images that can be tucked just about anywhere. Look up high, down low, behind decorations, and take your time to camera around all over :) If you have the group tag active, the hunt prizes are free as they will deliver a treat when you click them. Don't fret if the hunt is too difficult for you, as they have lots of terrific group gifts that you don't have to search for - they are on the wall to the left of the front door when you walk through it and enter the store. There are fashions, accessories, and a few makeup type items to really jazz up your avatar's look, and a few of the group gifts are just right for Halloween too. I believe everything, the hunt and the free group enrollment, wrap up at the end of the month. Quick body note - I switched back to my Legacy body, and it sent me an update from 1.7 to 1.7.1, so I switched into that instead. Not sure yet what is different, probably mostly performance and internal things rather than immediately visible differences.

First we've got two hunt prizes combined for one sassy and spooky look. The Bipolar - Vivian Top is a cropped tank top with worn holes and some suspicious staining, in sizes for Legacy, Perky, and Reborn mesh bodies. It is a fantastic match for the Bipolar - Vivian Shorts as you can see, with similar holes and red drips down the left side. It even fits the same bodies, Legacy and Reborn, with a HUD that lets us select from 5 metal tones. If your holiday plans include any haunted or horror type places, this is a fun and flirty combo.

My next pairing is two more hunt prizes that coordinate beautifully. The Bipolar - Dead Schoolgirl T-shirt comes in sizing for Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Reborn sizes, with a bonus of a sheet of paper on the back. This piece of paper can be adjusted if needed, and we receive a HUD with 5 textures for the writing or drawing on it. It's got a small piece of tape up top, holding it onto our back. The handprint and the "HELP" smeared in blood caught my eye, as did the holes in this polo style shirt. I added the Bipolar - Dead Schoolgirl Skirt to great effect, a playfully short pleated miniskirt in black plaid with blood stains. This prize comes in Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh body sizing.

Another teeny ghostie gave me this spooktacular Bipolar - Lima Dress, which has also seen some stuff based on the worn color and tattered hem, plus that loosened shoulder seam on the right. There are sizes for Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh bodies included. All of them have the same green belt attached, and the image of a ribcage with pumpkins tucked inside :) 

Maybe you are in the mood for something seasonal and not bloody or tattered in any way, in that case I do hope you find the hunt object containing the lovely Bipolar - Rian Dress :) It's got a great sweetheart neckline, elbow length sleeves, and a super short hem with gathered ruffle. I'm sure you noticed the pattern, skulls with kitty ears and various designs on the forehead plus some bones and faceted gemstones. Very fancy! This treat comes in Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Pushup, Maitreya, Reborn, and Juicy Boobs mesh body sizing.

For my final look of the night, I chose a seasonal group gift rather than a hunt prize. This is the Bipolar - Amik Dress Gift, with intricately tied straps that have both slipped off our shoulders a little, and a very short hemline. It fits Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Reborn bodies, with a 10 texture HUD and transparency options of 20% or off which makes it fully opaque. I'm showing it 'off' or opaque on both sides above, as I'm sure you have all seen my butt crack quite enough ;) One tip I have is that I couldn't figure out how to open the HUD at first once I'd added it, then I managed to click the "-" next to the X on the top right that I thought would be to minimize, but apparently maximized to show the 10 texture buttons. The lightning one is gorgeous, and I did go with a themed texture on the right but there are plenty of other options. There's even a bloody one that is similar to the first two photos' prizes. 

I had a really nice dinner at my parents', and I have most of my weekend planned which is always helpful. Sometimes I have to have a schedule to try to rein in feelings of chaos. I hope you all have a beautiful weekend ahead, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Boo! Bunny Treats

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I have more terrific $1L prizes from the Boo! Bunny Hunt 14 from Evil Bunny Hunts. Just visit each participating store and look for the small piece of candy, in green and orange striped wrapping. We can use the hints on the hunt's website, which is also our source of landmarks to each store and many preview images so we know what's in each candy piece. I'm still so impressed that this is the fourteenth annual round, making it such a longstanding tradition since in SL each year may as well be a decade ;) Trends move so quickly here, and stores/events/hunts seem to come and go with the wind, which makes the ones that persist even more special. I'm wearing my Maitreya Lara X body in the first two pics, and Lara 5.3 in the remainder, as some designers are focusing on just one or the other and it can be confusing but I can respect it. It is so easy to remove one body and add the other, and I use the same shape for both so really just a few quick clicks.

My first look of the evening is the daring TOG STORE . Yuna Set. This prize is a complete outfit, starting with the dress, gloves, and boots in sizing for Erika, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Legacy, Lara X, and Reborn mesh bodies. The choker comes in 3 sizes (S, M, L) and there are left and right hand versions of the drink that seems to be watching me ;) Even the hat is included, and has a resize script so you can click it to adjust. 

I also found the candy at GoodVibes, which holds their October Rose Orange Jumper Set. Its jumper fits Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, and Star mesh bodies, with two pairs of heels (bronze glitter heels on the left above, October rose heels orange on the right) each in Maitreya and Star sizes. I adore the pattern on the jumper's fabric, and the way the neckline is slit all the way down. 

Might as well face it, you're addicted to...black? :) This fun prize is the ART & FASHION - ADDICTEDTOBLACK OUTFIT, and is going to come in very handy all year round for many of you. The dress has keyhole cutouts both front and back, with a slit on the left side of the skirt that is zipped partway open. It and the laced up boots are each provided in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies.

Be sure to bring a friend to Ink Blots, as it contains both male and female prizes all in one candy. Their TBBH14 Female Gift is a pairing of top and leggings to fit Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies, with a TMP version added for the leggings. The top is a layered shirt and sweater combo, in mottled orange and black that are just right for the season :)

For my final look of the evening, I get to share the Psyche's Pstyles prize called Spooky Girl Dress Red. It has a sweet rounded collar and bow, in black to match the trim and the word "Spooky" scrawled in various sizes on our fabric. Since the red has an orange tinge to it, there's definitely a Halloween flavor happening too ;) This dollarbie treat comes in sizing for Freya, Hourglass, Kupra, Kups, Legacy, Perky, Perky Petite, Prima Busty, Prima Petite, and Reborn mesh bodies. 

So I did an outing today, to a nearby sandwich shop (okay it's hoagies, but that is not a word in everyone's lingo LOL) and got dinner. The way home was torture, thanks anxiety, but I survived which is all that counts. Tomorrow is dinner with the parents, and then hooray for the weekend :) I hope you're all having a nice day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Halloween Sales Event

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we're heading to the Halloween Sales Event by Redeux, so you'll want to join the Redeux VIP group for free if you're interested in dozens of wonderful gifts. They are at each display inside carved pumpkins that are wrapped with a black ribbon that's tied in a pretty bow at the top, perfect for the season. The area is decorated with lots of spooky things like ghosts and grim reapers (I thought of them as dementors) so it's sure to put you in a Halloween frame of mind :)

My first look is the sexy zOOm - Allegra Dress gift, a minidress with slits both front and back that are laced loosely to reveal some skin. There are sizes for Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Reborn, and Juicy Boobs mesh bodies provided, as well as a HUD with 4 color options. The intricate designs on the panels caught my eye immediately, and they change colors with the background choices too.

Faida has two gifts for us, one of which is the adorable My Boo dress seen here. The little ghost kitty on the front wants you to know "You're My Boo", a sentiment that made me giggle :) The strapless dress with ruffled short hem comes in Legacy, Maitreya, Flat, and Petite mesh body sizes.

Next I'm eager to share their other gift, the lovely Faida - Aisha black flower dress. The black and gold pattern reminds me of a mandala design, and the sides are slit so high that the dress is basically front and back panels held loosely in place by a low slung golden chain belt. It fits the Legacy and Maitreya mesh bodies with ease.

I'm glad to get to share something a bit more casual yet right on point with the season :) The Manikin - Whooo - Q-Tees Tank Top gift is a creamy beige tank with "Whooooo's Your Favorite Witch?" on the front, with the text surrounding an adorable owl with witch hat and broom, perched inside a crescent moon. The gift includes Freya, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh body sizing. Of course I'm wearing my favorite Delizio jeans with it, a freebie on the marketplace in several denim hues that appear here quite frequently.

My final look of the evening comes with a small confession...I still haven't seen the movie this dress is referencing!  (*<*) 1313 Death Becomes You Gown - Cinnamon is our gift from 1313 Mockingbird Lane, and it has a very unique design with a hole clear through our midriff. We need to wear the alpha layer included with each size, which are for Kupra, Kups, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Reborn, and Juicy Boobs mesh bodies. The delivery HUD will make you dance around delightedly, lol, which always makes me smile :) This works great as a Halloween costume or just general cosplay, it all just depends on your sense of humor and personal tastes. I had to laugh when I realized my rear view shows a tiny bit of my left arm which is across my body to hold up the right elbow, just demonstrating the see-through hole accidentally a bit more.

It was a relatively typical day here for me, warmer than usual for this time of year but generally okay. Sitting in the car was not exactly fun, partly because I got out there later than anticipated so it was too dark to work on my new crossword puzzle book. I had my tablet out there (an old Android) so I wasn't entirely bored, just frazzled. I hope you're all having a pleasant day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Vogue Anniversary Gifts

 Hiya everyone! Tonight another event's anniversary round came to my attention, and it ends soon but it's SO worth hurrying over to! The VOGUE event is enjoying their first anniversary, celebrating with gifts from just about every designer for the VOGUE group (free to join) in lovely ornate golden boxes that have legs and look to be intricately crafted. They remind me of jewelry boxes, and all of them have hovertext so you can spot them pretty easily. This round closes on the 25th, so we have just a few days to visit and enjoy the new releases and plentiful gifts. Does the word "vogue" make you think of the Madonna song, the dance it references, or maybe the phrase 'in vogue' meaning fashionable? No matter which one it is, let's add this event to our associations :)

For my first look of the evening, I am enjoying our TO.KISKI - Alana Mini Dress. Purple gift. Just look at that shine! The single sleeved mini is gathered on the right side and tied in the front, with the bow dangling playfully down the thigh. It fits Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Kupra Add-on Natural, Legacy, Pinup Bombshell, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, Waifu, and Star mesh bodies.

I also happily claimed the Resurrection - EIVOR Gift, a leathery mini with a notch at the bust with the sides folded over playfully. This beauty is included in sizing for Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Lara X, Petite X, Prima, Prima Petite, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. This is the type of dress that can be made more casual or formal depending on your accessory choices, like lots of bold colors or keeping things sleek and neutral. 

I've been really into deep shades of blue lately, so the Malizia - Allison Dress 16 gift instantly captivated me. It's also because of the style of course, ribbed stripes and the tiniest ruffles trimming every hemline, and detached sleeves that are actually built in so it's all one mesh piece. We receive Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, and Reborn sizes of this wonderful dress.

Yesterday I had a leopard print top bringing out the animal in me (vague song lyric reference there, Physical by Olivia Newton John) but tonight my beast-inspired pattern is snakeskin :) The JXL - DRESS 03/B gift is designed to show off every curve, thanks to the sweetheart neckline (hello, cleavage!) and fishnet inserts on both hips. It comes in sizes for Classic, Curvy, Erika, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh bodies.

My final look of the evening is the flirtatious Melody Loralyne // FATPACK gift. It catches attention with its cutouts, both the chest and along each side, then brings variety with a HUD offering 20 colors for the dress and 4 metals for the buckle at the throat. We receive Classic, Curvy, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh body sizing. I think I mostly chose bright colors for variety since lots of October's fashions have been dark and moody.

My day went okay, and included a trip to a dollar store (Dollar Tree) for the first time in probably 20+ years. It's odd, my old neighborhood had several of them, but then I moved half an hour away to a different county and had a mini culture shock. So now there's one just a few minutes away, and it was a fun trip down memory lane in some ways. I did pick up a few things, and am still trying to figure out where Thursday's outing should be. I've been watching lots of hockey since it's Frozen Frenzy night, where every team in the NHL played so that's 16 games that started every 15 minutes. Wild, huh? There is yet another event that I delayed blogging about tonight to prioritize this one which ends sooner, so I do have plans for tomorrow's post already :) I hope you're all having a lovely day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Happy Birthday Kustom9

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I'm delighted to wish Kustom9 a very happy 11th birthday. They are celebrating with free gifts from many of the designers, just look around for beige giftboxes and have the free Kustom9 group tag active to claim them all :) Among the gifts I'm sharing in this post, I noticed a lot of tops and a lot of pink, both of which make me very happy. Maybe it's partly because it is a change of pace from all the Halloween themed stuff lately? I'm not knocking Halloween, mind you, just saying that variety is always fun and I do still have plenty of spooky seasonal treats to show off too. This anniversary round of Kustom9 is open until the 10th of November. 

Let's start the evening with the playful Loki - Y2K Star Tank Top - Kustom9 11th Birthday gift. It has a retro feeling that would also explain why it looks like it's been washed a few too many times, lol, thanks to the tattered hem and a few holes worn through. There are even safety pins holding the left strap closed. This gift includes Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh body sizing. Then I added the flirty Gaia - gift denim shorts@kustom9, a very handy pair of daringly high cut blue denim shorts with some pink markings on them. I looked really closely and decided they look like tiny footprints, as I saw some toes :) There are eBody and Legacy sizes included, with a HUD that offers 6 metal options. You are about to see this pair of shorts quite a bit, like in every single photo this evening, so you know I am a fan of them.

Next I changed into the -[vagrant]- Jennifer Top Leopard GIFT, which is a perfect choice for your sassy side. The animal print caught my attention immediately, and the low cut sides will absolutely turn heads! It comes in sizing for Lara X, Legacy, Perky, and Reborn mesh bodies. 

This sweet look features our Palette - Darcy Top gift, which as you can see includes separate sleeves to wear the tube top with or without. Each are provided to fit Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Reborn, Juicy, and Rolls mesh bodies, and are a hot pink hue with white ruffled trim for a very feminine vibe. It's feeling warm today so without sleeves would be very appropriate in RL ;)

I'm still feeling pretty in pink, thanks to littlefox. and their Sienna top // K9 GIFT :) This snug and cozy looking tank top is decorated with maroon hearts of various sizes, for a bit of romance while still feeling sporty. We receive Lara X, Legacy, Perky, Reborn, and Waifu mesh body sizes in this tempting treat. While it may be saved for Valentine's Day, I see no reason to not wear it whenever the whim arises in the meantime ♥.

I couldn't think of a better way to wrap up this post than with a luscious looking fresh cupcake for their birthday, and another top of course ;) The Mossu - Stars Top - GIFT has lots of tiny gold stars on a backdrop the color of the midnight sky, perfect for a night owl such as myself, and I'm loving the bare shoulders and dropped sleeves. It is provided in sizing for Lara X, Legacy, Reborn, and Juicy bodies. The Hangry - Birthday cupcake comes in two flavors versions, hold and rez, and the one in my hand has the gentle pose built in so we don't squish it and make a mess. Looks like chocolate cake with a vanilla whipped frosting, with a lit purple candle adorning it. The cupcake wrapper is black with rainbow sprinkles printed on, and I must admit at first glance it looked like it matched my shirt which would have been a happy accident. 

My allergies are going bonkers tonight, so I am blaming the warm weather and having been outside in the driveway for over an hour earlier. That means I got to breathe in all the lovely pollen, hehe, and whatever else has me itching and sneezing and sniffling. I have more events to visit, more hunt prizes to pick up, and just generally lots to do in SL this coming week. I hope you're all having a terrific day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Shop and Hop is Gleaming

 Hiya everyone! Tonight's post features a handful of gifts from Halloween Shop & Hop, all found on the Gleaming region. As there are 20 regions filled with 400 amazing designers, I find it best to keep them separated in my folders by region so I can guide you in teleporting just once and wandering around that area. As for specifics, I gratefully refer you to the FabFree spreadsheet which has tabs at the bottom to sort by type of gift (male, female, unisex, dinkie, decor, etc.) or region or alphabetically by store name. They put a lot of hard work into that and I appreciate it so much :) We have until the 3rd of November to do all our shopping and claiming of free gifts.

My first spooky treat is the [ZEX] Widow * Fatpack Outfit gift. This includes just about everything you see here, from clothing to shoes to accessories. The corset dress and panties (one piece) fits Erika, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Khara, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies, with matching heels in sizing for Erika, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn feet. Then we can add the spiders labeled 1 and 2 (chest and shoulder), unrigged choker, and earrings. Wear it all at once or choose the parts you prefer :) If you notice the reddish shimmer on the bodice, that is from materials enabled lighting and I rezzed out an additional light source nearby to help you see that a little better. 

Our next peek is one of two gifts from the same generous store, zOOm. Their SpOOky Sweater GIFT actually has some kick-ass boots included too, each in sizes for Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Reborn, and Juicy Boobs mesh bodies. The sweater is barely buttoned down the front, and the boots come all the way up to our upper thigh with a bold chunky heel that gives them extra personality. The first thing I noticed on the sweater's fabric was the eyeballs, but looking closer I also spotted pumpkins, green stars, and even some candy canes.

The zOOm - Pumpkin Mood Bodysuit & Bolero is their other thoughtful gift for us, generous and sexy! It consists of both pieces mentioned, each in Erika, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Reborn, and Waifu mesh body sizing. The front says "Current Mood" above and below a jack-o-lantern, so fitting for this time of year! You'll notice there is no back view, well I shall describe it as the bodysuit being cut just as high on the sides from behind so it is a cheeky rear view. Yes, that is my not-so-subtle way of saying my buttcheeks would be on display if I turned around for ya ;)

I couldn't pick just one of the two colors of the [MOW] Missy Sexy Dress V.2 [BLACK & CHERRY] gift, so you get to see both :) These edgy dresses are each packaged with sizing for Belleza Classic, Belleza Curvy, Erika, Kupra, Lara X, Petite X, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn mesh bodies. I love the way there are gold chains in various spots holding things in place, like the skirt hem and the three in the back that meet in the center to link to a round ring. So pretty!

For my final look this evening, I shimmied into the striking gift from AtaMe called Catarina Halloween Special Dress. For a split second when I first tried it on, my brain jumped ahead a season and interpreted those spiderwebs as snowflakes, LOL! I am not ready for that yet so I'm glad I realized the correct pattern next :) The dress has some slashes on it that show off brief glimpses of skin, including a flash of buttcrack.

How was everyone's weekend? Mine suddenly feels like it flew by, despite in the moment feeling like it was going slowly. Time is bizarre sometimes. The weather has been lovely, and I had a decent therapy session earlier so I have all my plans for the week ahead at least as a general framework. There are so many events in SL popping up that I have no troubles finding things to share here, thanks to generous designers :) I hope you're all having a beautiful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
