Bring On Spring With FabFree

 Hiya everyone! Tonight it's time to Bring On Spring, thanks to the FabFree hunt of that name. This round runs throughout the month of April, and we're looking for neon rainbows in each store for $0L - $5L each. You will need their website open as it tells you the links, hints, prices, and preview images of the prizes. I'm a longtime fan of theirs as I've mentioned here countless times, so these hunts are extra excuses for me to visit their participating stores :) That's the fun part, I don't need additional reasons when I already do stop by most of these stores relatively frequently, and if you aren't already familiar with them I think you'll be eager to get more cozy and hang onto those landmarks.

My first stop was Belle Epoque, where I found their lovely Medea GIFT for free inside their hidden rainbow. The pastel pink (color is called Candy) gown has intricate chain straps and a flowing skirt that falls past the ankles. Isn't it so pretty? The gift includes sizes for Lara X, Petite X, Legacy, Perky, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. 

Here I'm still feeling pretty in pink with the Ruxy Ellena V3 prize, which is also a free treat :) It fits Lara X and Legacy mesh bodies, and has an eye-catching checkerboard pattern on the fabric. There are lots of great 3D details, like the flowers above each breast and the beaded chain style straps that go around both breasts, across the back, and loop around the neck. The essentials are covered but we are absolutely looking sizzling hot! PLEASE note - I did stumble across a couple of $1L rainbows from a previous round, so make sure you follow the hint carefully and if you don't already have those other prizes you can consider that a bonus opportunity :)

Speaking of hot, our $3L HU - April prize from Hello Uglies is a sexy way to remind folks that spring isn't just about pastels :) This gives Goth ballerina vibes, and I'm surprised at how much that idea captivates me. I think it's the detached looking puffed sleeves as well as the layered skirt that is reminiscent of a tutu. The back of the skirt is short enough that I will be finding my favorite black lace panties to layer beneath. This affordable goodie is yours in sizes for Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies.

As a certified 3rd generation chocoholic, lol, this $1L hunt prize makes me so happy. It's our CloudNine Her Chocolate tee, and says "Save the Earth... it's the only planet with Chocolate" with a very well chosen image in the middle. The soft tan material reminds me of a sweatshirt, I think the term is heathered when it's got that mix of shades in the knit :) The ladies' version has sizing for Erika, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, Waifu, and Star mesh bodies, while the nearby rainbow for the men has its own set of sizes. That one is the same low price, both easy to find and well worth it. 

My final look of the night is our @rOrO Shelby Dress Spring Edition prize, which is both fabulous and free! Just find that rainbow and you'll receive Erika, Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, and Reborn mesh body sizing, along with a HUD offering 4 colors of the sweet floral pattern. It really is ideal for spring, and I can't wait to wear it out and about :)

It was a nice outing yesterday, although a bit tiring, and I had a good day today too even though the weather dropped a full 40 degrees from one day to the next! Can you believe it, I mean what is happening here? LOL! Every evening I have to rearrange half my office to swap the fan and heater, and I can't figure out whether I need short sleeves, long sleeves, no sleeves, or several layers to be comfy. Otherwise it's nice to have April here finally, and I have my Easter plans set which is something my family usually doesn't do so it's a bit unusual although not a bad thing by any means. Gaming with friends was fun, and they might have to skip next week but we'll still be ready for the big update (DLC, added content) in Hello Kitty the following week. I hope you're all having a pleasant day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Doves Enduring Dreams

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I have several more Doves Dream gifts to share, which are all yours for free when you visit the event with your Palomma Plaza group tag "Doves Angel" active. It is a yearly shopping event timed to start on Dove's RL birthday (March 11) and continues until the 11th of April. I've got a subfolder of demos that I'm still trying to narrow down to my final purchases, but there is no shortage of gifts to show you in my folders either :) It suddenly feels summery in RL so I am appreciating the distraction too.

I realized that I have several tops to show you, so I slipped into my white Delizio jeans from their marketplace gift (fatpack, BOM and Omega appliers) to help me. Then I added our [ARTI'S] I am an angel - FREEDOVE 2026 GIFT, which made me smile for so many reasons including the nod to The Free Dove :) Our mauve tank top has a beautiful image designed with wings, halo, and "I AM AN ANGEL" in text, and I don't always live up to that but I try ;) There are sizes for Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Prima Busty, Prima Petite, and Reborn mesh bodies.

The next shirt that seemed to beg me to blog it was our striking RoxAnne Kennedy Top gift. This bare shouldered beauty comes in Erika, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, and Reborn Waifu mesh body sizing, along with a HUD numbered 1-8. Each number is a different texture, either solid or pattern, so it feels like a playful surprise every time you click one :) The style will suit your favorite skirts just as nicely as any pants or shorts, so it is very versatile indeed.

At first glance, the May24 - Eva Dress - Gift reminded me of the 80s and shoulder pads, power suits for women who were starting to find their power in the workplace. These pointed shoulders are more of a ruffle though, an extension of the collar that frames our cleavage just right. We receive sizing for Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Lara X, Legacy+Perky, and Reborn bodies, with a HUD that offers 5 classic colors. Gorgeous!

Moonstar has a terrific gift out at the event too, their *V* Jenna Dress, Earrings and Sandals. I love having clothing that comes with matching footwear and jewelry, and I must admit that my alt has been wearing this look for over a week already :) The dress is provided in classic M and fitmesh M as well as Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, Ocacin, Reborn, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh body sizes. Then the sandals fit Belleza, Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, and Reborn feet, while the silver feather earrings are adjustable in case you need to edit and scooch them into place a bit. The doves on the floral pattern are a touching tribute to a kind and special person ♥.

My final look of the night is yet another generous gift, the zOOm - BabyBell Outfit. It makes me think of a pajama party you'd see in the movies :) Our top and shorts each come in Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Reborn, and Juicy Boobs sizes, while the shoes will fit the flat feet of each of those bodies. We also get a handy HUD with 3 colors each, so we can mix and match. Did you notice the left leg opening of the shorts is slightly pulled up to bare a cheek? Maybe a fellow partygoer tried to give me a wedgie, but I have pillows in my inventory that would make a good weapon ;)

It was a much warmer day here today, and tomorrow will be a few degrees hotter, so I am relieved that this room has dropped from 78 to 74 in the few hours I've been in here :) I am going out early and won't have time to prep for a blog post tomorrow, but will be back Thursday with something new for April I hope. Be sure to be careful of any potential April Fools jokes, and please stick to the truly harmless pranks like putting googly eyes somewhere or changing something that can be easily swapped back. I hope you all have a fantastic day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

SL Mesh Body Group

 Hiya everyone! Tonight's post is filled with generous gifts for the SL Mesh Body group, which has a small $9L price to join. There are lots of participating brands all across the grid, and I'm always excited to explore them and find out which ones are offering gifts for the group :) I've been a member of the group for ages, so that tiny fee to join has more than paid for itself dozens of times over. Hopefully you can find a new favorite store or discover a new gift at an old favorite haunt.

We start at TOG STORE in their new location, where the Licks Set is one of several gifts under the stairs. This flirty strapless mini has a fluttery layered skirt that is even shorter from behind, so fun! We receive sizes for Kupra, Lara X, Petite X, Legacy, Perky, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies, along with a HUD that offers a whopping 50 colors for us to choose from. Sometimes that's a really tough decision, because they all look fantastic!

If you're not in the mood for drama (same!) then you definitely need the [Enchantress] Tessa Dress Gift. It's a clear message for those girls who want to flirt with your man, or the so-called friend who talks crap behind your back. There are Altamura, eBody Curvy, Freya, Hourglass, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Tonic Curvy, Tonic Fine, and Tonic Minim mesh body sizes included. I love the way the front is gathered and tied at the right thigh!

Let's show off some leg with the T.B.O.M. Asymmetric Mini Dress group gift! This style made my brain go from salsa to dirty dancing, lol, with plenty of sex appeal either way. Claim this gift and you'll receive the dress and pants (panties on just one side) in sizing for Freya, Isis, Hourglass, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite bodies, plus a HUD with 3 colors for the dress. I can't resist that lacy embroidery on the top :)

Next I grabbed our Brunsen! Tara Sexy Dress [3] gift, and that gorgeous sequined texture makes me very glad I did :) There are more colors for other groups too, so I do suggest having a peek around the gift room. This beauty comes in Erika, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh body sizes. 

My final look tonight comes from *Stars*Fashion*, their versatile Angee outfit. Its dress, dress + top, and boots are all designed to fit Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Perky Juicy, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn mesh bodies, and we've got two HUDS to take care of it all. They offer the same 15 colors for dress, top, and boots, but one is for the Legacy sizes and the other for non-Legacy versions. I don't know enough about scripting to have any idea why that would be, but it's not an issue since it's all clearly labeled and worked fine for me. 

I'm a bit sleepy this evening since I got a lot less sleep than planned (thanks, Pokopia, LOL) but the anxiety/agoraphobia support group session went really well and there were some interesting suggestions made. Sometimes acting as someone's cheerleader, telling them "you've got this!" when they're facing something scary, is helpful for all of us to hear and take to heart. I was going to go out tomorrow but the plans got shifted to Wednesday somehow, so I'll be blogging tomorrow evening after all :) It's getting so warm in here, these fluctuating temperatures sure are a struggle lately. I hope you're all having a lovely day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Easter Hunt at KZ and NN

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we get to start some Easter hunting, thanks to KZ and NN Lab. These stores are neighbors and both their groups are currently free to join, so all 8 prizes are free when you find the hidden eggs. There are 5 in the KZ store and 3 at NN, and you'll need the corresponding group tags active to click and claim each treat. The eggs are so cute, very small with a white chick seated in the lower half of the white eggs. My suggestions are to look high and low, upstairs and down, and check behind signs that are on the ground :) 

For my first look, I've slipped into the flirty KZ Dress Wyvern Red prize. It fits Lara X, Legacy, Reborn, Squish, and Waifu mesh bodies, and includes two HUDs to customize the appearance. The main HUD offers 21 colors apiece for various ruffles (even offering 21 sheer colors with hearts for shoulders/hem) and the accessories HUD has on/off options for arms, garters, and belt, plus 5 metal tones each for different areas. So many ways to personalize how you want to wear it!

Our KZ Bikini Poppy rose leather hunt prize is absolutely bringing sexy back, not that it was necessarily gone ;) That is one of my favorite shades of pink by hte way, looking fantastic in tiny quantities. The bra comes in Legacy, Lara X, Reborn, Squashed, and Waifu mesh body sizes, with the similar set for the panty including Legacy, Lara X, Reborn, Phatpussy, and Squashed sizing. The enclosed HUD has 5 metal colors for the delicate charms that dangle from the bra, which look like they would softly tinkle when we dance :)

Next I slipped into the KZ Dress Billie Xoxo prize, which has a sheer plastic skirt and fun adjustable trim. The edging on the shoulder openings and hem glows, as you can see on the right, and we've got a HUD to adjust that to off, 10, 30, 50, or 80% brightness. The dress itself will fit Lara X, Legacy, Reborn, Waifu mesh bodies, with G-string panties that fit all of the above plus Phatpussy. Did you notice the teeny white XO pattern on the red top of the dress?

I took advantage of the translucent skirt of the prior prize to help me show off our KZ Tights Diana Rose-grey here. They are provided in Lara X, Legacy, Reborn + Rolls, and Reborn + Rolls + Phatpussy SM sizes, as well as two HUDs. The on/off HUD is for the feet, so you can turn them off to make it more like leggings as I did on the right. Then our Blink HUD adjusts the tiny sparkles that are built in, either white or colors and on/off for that feature. The waistband is quite low in the back, so that's why you only got a side view here ;)

My last look this evening is where I learned how hard it can be to take pictures of a sword from two angles without making a really wide image, LOL! This is the [NN] The Katana prize, which consists of the belt rigged for Reborn and the separate katana sword that fits into the sheath on the back. Both of these have PBR textures, so you'll need a compatible viewer to see them correctly. NN Lab seems to focus on tattoos and mesh accessories, so you can really jazz up your avatar's look nicely here for roleplay or everyday entertainment. 

My weekend was a decent one, starting with a very windy trip to the farmers market. They couldn't use their tents again (similar to 2 weeks ago) so just tables and lots of caution. I wore a heavy coat with a hood, so that helped my hair from trying to tangle all around my face this time. I really do need to get my hair cut soon, but that's just one of many things on a growing to-do list. I'm still enjoying Pokopia a bit too much, lol, but there are worse addictions out there. Heck, SL can be considered one too :) I'm ready for April to hurry up and get here, so I can enjoy new rounds of hunts and events. I hope you're all having a pleasant day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

KiB Designs Anniversary

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I've got a sweet deal for you to check out, and it won't cost you any lindens or a group slot. KiB Designs is celebrating their 10th anniversary with 10 gifts, 5 for their VIP group ($99L to join) and 5 for their subscribers that you can pick up on the path outside their store. Guess which I'm sharing? :) Based on what I said about not needing a group, I think it's clear that I am showing you the 5 treats for their subscribers, which I've been one of for quite some time. They haven't stated a timeframe yet so I have no idea if I should be telling you to hurry or not, but I am leaning towards 'yes'. Sometimes it's better to make haste, and the weekend should give you a chance to stop by and enjoy.

This lovely slip dress is our KiB Designs - Marini Dress gift. The pattern is so perfect for spring, with antique roses in various pink hues, and the attached belt continues that color scheme. There are sizes for Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, and Reborn mesh bodies included. 

I'm laughing to myself right now, thinking that I needed this at the DMV the other day ;) Our KiB Designs - Girl Power Top gift says "Allergic to Stupid" on the front, with a raised middle finger on the back, and the front is notched with a ring that reminds me of a piercing. The cropped length is brief to bare the waist, and it looks like the sleeves have been either cut or ripped off :) This gift includes Freya, Isis, Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, and Reborn mesh body sizes. I've paired it with the white pair from the Delizio jeans that appear here so often, a marketplace gift, but you can wear this sassy top with just about anything.

This fantastic top is our gift called KiB Designs - Fleur Top. Plaids are an essential classic and these particular colors are right up my alley :) That ruffle on the neckline is giving such playful retro vibes, love it! We receive sizing for Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies.

Next I couldn't resist sharing our KiB Designs - Emma Top gift, wrapped around and crossed in the front to meet a bold collar neckline. The color reminds me of dark chocolate, with a fun geometric print on the collar. There are Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Khara, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Reborn, and Waifu mesh body sizes included. I feel like a geometric upper back tattoo would look sizzling hot with this top :)

My final look of the night is yet another subscriber gift, the KiB Designs - Melinda Bag. There are A and B holds, both shown above, for the left and right hands, so we get to wear it in a few playful ways :) The deep navy blue will coordinate so nicely with much of our wardrobes, and the rose gold chain looks fantastic!

Whew, I didn't get as much sleep as I needed and I've got an early morning with the farmers market, so it's time to wrap this up :) I hope you've all got a terrific weekend ahead, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Dove's Dreamy Gifts

 Hiya everyone! Tonight it's back to the enchanting Doves Dream event for more generous group gifts. They are free with the Doves Angel tag from the Palomma Plaza group, which is also free to join. There are so many top designers here, offering gifts and specially priced sales items for us to enjoy. As I've mentioned, it is a celebration of the life and RL birthday of Palomma Casanova, a.k.a. Dove, who ran The Free Dove on this very same region. She meant so much to the SL community, and her friendship was truly a blessing to me. We have about 2 weeks left to visit, so come on over and explore :)

The first gift I selected to share is our Nut & Squirrel Flavia dress, a figure-hugging long sleeved mini dress with built in gold chain belt. There are Erika, Kupra, Lara X, Petite X, Legacy, Perky, Prima, Prima Petite, Reborn, and Waifu sizes included, as well as a HUD that lets us pick from 20 pretty colors. We get a touch of elegance from the sheer sleeves and upper bodice, while the puckered seam on the back adds a touch of flirtatiousness.

Our Lara AC Dress Zara Gift consists of several colors that are each packaged separately, mostly with no-copy permissions so please unpack these manually (rez out on the ground, right click - copy to inventory). I'm wearing red on the left and brown on the right, plus you'll also find lilac, black, blue, and green versions inside. Each of these are provided in sizing for Erika, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, and Reborn mesh bodies. The single shoulder style is such a fun one, isn't it? I also like the attached belt and the little notches on the front of our skirt.

Another thoughtful gift with a sheer section is the Melody Ayana// Fatpack. Its lovely long sleeves end in a soft ruffle, and the bodice is transparent with a few seams that could contain boning to hold the dress in place. Our gift includes Lara X, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Reborn, and Waifu mesh body sizes, as well as a HUD that has 30 colors each of solid and animal patterns. The hem is particularly short, barely longer than the sleeves, so naturally I suggest adding your favorite undies.

Next we see the lovely Ydea Style Exclusive Gift, which has the name of the event right on the dress :) The gift consists of the dress and the golden garter you see here, each in sizing for Lara X, Legacy, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. The sides are open, held with crossed pink straps, and the soft pink and white colors add to the ethereal feeling. 

Just one more look for the night, which also has an ethereal quality that suits the 'dream' part of the event name. Our fuayu Angelo gift (Maitreya LaraX) is a beautiful gown with square neckline trimmed in lace, falling softly to the floor in gentle pleats. The teal blue color seems to glow, doesn't it? As the name indicates, the gift comes in a single mesh size that is rigged for the Lara X body, but since it is loose fitting I believe it could work with other brands and perhaps some alpha adjustments.

Have I mentioned lately that Pokopia is ridiculously addictive? LOL! Tonight's gaming evening with friends has it on my mind, and we absolutely had a great time so I am in a very good mood :) The temperature has gone up considerably so it's pretty warm in here, 76.5 right now in this room. That might erode my mood eventually, so fingers crossed that the fan helps soon. I hope you're all enjoying your day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Group Goodies from Le'La

Hiya everyone! Tonight's post features several group gifts from Le'La, for their VIP group which is $100L to join. That group lets you claim dozens of gifts for free, as well as access to their lucky chairs, lucky boards, and midnight mania boards in the same building as the group gifts. That's right, it's an entire building just for treats! I've shared many of their gifts for other groups over the years too, so you probably already have a good idea of their quality and generosity. I wouldn't be posting this if I didn't truly believe it was a good investment, and this is not a sponsored post in any way :) Also noteworthy is that they have had an Advent calendar for several years each December, so it would be beneficial to stick around in the group for that season which currently feels soooo far away but time does fly lately. As a random note, I was already wearing my Lara X body and was curious to see which group gifts are currently available in that size, so this is a sampling of those specifically. 

First we have the lovely {Le'La} Fancya Dress Gift. I'm always glad to find a strapless mini for my wardrobe, and this one has a pretty ruffled hem to add some interest. It comes in Erika, Kupra, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh body sizes, along with a HUD that offers 40 options each for dress and ruffle. There are 20 solid colors and 20 patterns, so that makes for easy mixing and matching. Lots of florals, so it is nice for this time of year in particular.

The rear view of our {Le'La} Gracy Bodysuit group gift made my jaw drop! No shade against the front view of course, LOL, as it is delightfully flirty as well. There are sizes for Erika, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Khara, Kupra, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies provided. We've also got a HUD tucked in there of course, with 40 choices that include several ombres or gradients. I think it's got a bit of an sci-fi vibe, which I can't explain but that is what popped into my head. 

{Le'La} Ney Dress Gift is a sweet, fluttery mini dress with spaghetti traps and a floral print skirt beneath a solid split overlay. It fits Erika, Gen X Classic/Dainty, Gen X Curvy/Dainty, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies, with a HUD that offers 10 pastel shades. I am fond of those softer shades for springtime moods, but the black background of the patterned section is a nice touch to keep it from feeling overly girlie.

Next I changed into the charming {Le'La} Ralu Dress Gift. It caught my eye with those wide straps that are topped with a bow on each shoulder, and then I noticed the belt and ruffles being able to be customized with the HUD. That HUD offers 40 textures apiece for the dress, ruffle, belt, and border, 20 of which are solids and 20 patterns. We could do the entire dress one solid hue, or go wild and mix things up in dozens of ways :) The dress comes in sizing for Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, and Waifu bodies. It makes things so versatile that any one of these dresses with a HUD are alone worth the price of admission.

One final look of the evening, that would be our {Le'La} Abaily Set Gift. The tube top, puffed sleeves, and softly pleated skirt are each provided in Erika, Kupra, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh body sizes. The HUD offers 20 colors each for the top, sleeves, sleeves border, skirt, and skirt border. I will note that this morning I was unable to change the sleeves or their border, but all the other options worked. It could be an SL glitch, but worth noting just in case you have the same experience. I don't mention these things to badmouth anyone or complain, I promise :) Just think of how much scripting and coding goes into every single thing we do in SL, so I don't get bent out of shape if something decides not to work correctly one day; perfection is simply not possible.

Whew, the DMV was fun...it actually wasn't that bad, just very time consuming. I was there for about 45 minutes, and got my ID renewed without any trouble. Sitting and waiting was a little anxiety inducing, but I sat quietly and read a Reader's Digest that I brought because I enjoy the small stories and cute jokes. I don't have to pay full attention to the book, so I'm still aware of my surroundings and what number is being called. I hate the picture of course, because that's fairly typical with those ;) It was the third of 4 stops yesterday, so I really didn't have time for blogging even if I'd had the headspace. Tomorrow is gaming night with friends, and I am so excited for that as usual. I hope you're all having a nice day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
