Jubilant at Shop & Hop

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I've got some wonderful treats that you can find on the Jubilant region, one of 12 that are part of the Halloween Shop & Hop this year. They increased the number of stores per region, so that's 384 total booths to find discounted offers and free gifts from top SL designers :) I am always impressed by how many stores appear here consistently (rounds like SL birthday, Valentine, December Holidays) alongside newcomers either to SL in general or new to the S&H experience. Exploring here is always a good time! As always I am going to recommend you use the FabFree spreadsheet they work so hard to provide and maintain, with all your direct links and info on the gifts you can find here this round.

I had to giggle a little bit (okay, maybe a lot) at our !PCP :: Ember Shirt [Boo Bees] gift from Pink Cream Pie. The sheer short sleeved top with one shoulder bared comes in original and loose fits so you can wear over BOM or mesh bottoms, and I'm wearing the loose to give you an idea of the room it adds :) Each version is provided in sizing for Legacy, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, and Reborn mesh bodies. The adorable bees dressed as ghosts would certainly say BOO! when trick or treating, thus boo-bees ;) I'm wearing the white pair of Delizio jeans from the marketplace, link in my Everyday Basics tab above.

I was tempted to wear the -Pixicat- Qara Tshirt - Death gift as a long tunic shirt over the same jeans, but realized it's honestly longer than some dresses and skirts I have in SL. So I'm showing you the rear view too, letting you see for yourself the length of the clothing :) It will fit Lara X, Petite X, Legacy, Perky, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies, and I did use the enclosed alpha layer to prevent any body peek-through which for me was in the underarm area. A tarot card called Death is the artwork seen here, and please keep in mind that the card does not mean literal end of life but generally transformation or new beginnings. I'm not an expert, just a curious soul who's read about tarot :) 

Next I explored my preppy yet flirty side with our Nectarine - Baby Tee + Zipped Mini [HALLOWEEN EDITION] treat. I'm loving the seasonal plaid of the skirt, and the gray mock turtleneck has trim that resembles a collar necklace. There are sizes for Lara X, Legacy, Reborn, and Waifu bodies for both separates, so we can wear them together or individually if the mood strikes us. That top with pair with just about anything, and the skirt will look particularly nice with black, orange, or really any neutral shirt :)

The dirty kitten Wraith Dress gift sure caught my attention with that pattern, wisps of smoke at first glance that turn out to be ghostly once you get a better look. Of course the purple hue is a favorite of mine, so that brings a smile as well. We receive Erika, Kupra, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Muneca, Nhumana, Nhumana Lively, Prima, Prima Petite, Reborn, Waifu, and Star mesh body sizes in this generous gift. There's a coordinated treat for the guys as well, so be sure to spread the word :)

For my final look of the evening, I have an eye-catching set of mesh nails that we can peek at close up :) The .Seance. Hallows' Eve Gift Nails will fit Lara X, Legacy, and Reborn mesh bodies, just use the body's HUD to hide its built in nails and add the correct size from this gift folder. There is also a HUD with lighter and darker textures so it will suit a range of skin tones. These sharp stiletto nails are embossed with crescent moons and ghosts, plus flowers and greenery among the designs that are unique to each nail pair (pinkies, thumbs, etc.) for variety. Your RL nail technician might charge you a fortune to try to replicate these, lol, but your avatar can enjoy them for free. 

This weekend felt like it whizzed by a lot faster than most lately, at least for me...how about you? My week ahead will be somewhat busy, nothing too stressful but simple things like a support group session tomorrow and a haircut on Wednesday. I hope you're all having a lovely day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Picking Pumpkins at Swank

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we're cruising into the weekend with some more group gifts from the SWANK Event and their Goth Halloween themed October round. The pumpkin hunt for their group members (no fee to join) are simply placed at many of the booths rather than having to search all over for these treats, so no tricks here ;) We have almost a week remaining to enjoy the event and all it offers.

Let's start the evening with a flirty top, the Vulnus Pumpkin Hunt prize. It is tied at the bust and the sleeves are nearly detached to show off our shoulder, but our arms stay warm for the chilly days that have just arrived in RL here. There are sizes for Lara X, Legacy, and Reborn mesh bodies included when you click this pretty pumpkin. I love the style, and the pattern on the fabric is a Halloween dream :) I'm wearing the Delizio jeans in black with this top, from their marketplace which is linked in my Everyday Basics tab above.

The scalloped trim of our [Enchantress] Regan Bodysuit gift reminds me of bat wings, so that aspect certainly gives spooky season vibes. We've got some really flirty cutouts here too, underbust and both sides of the ribs, so this is one of the few SL bodysuits that didn't make me also think 'swimsuit'. It is loaded with variety too, as there is a HUD with 40 colors (some partly sheer down the front) to choose from and 5 metals for the clasp in the front. The bodysuit fits Erika, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Khara, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies.

Our ELITE - GIFT SWANK EVENTS II gift can serve as a costume with all the fixings, or a fun seasonal look with just the dress if you prefer. The bare shouldered dress has lush layers of ruffles on the skirt, and a HUD with 3 similar texture options that all look terrific on it :) We receive sizes for Freya, Isis, Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, Reborn, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies of the dress, along with the purple pointed hat and cute ice cream cone to hold in the left hand. I only removed the hat for the right half of this photo because my hair buns were popping through, LOL, and it looked pretty silly. I'll choose a different hairstyle in the future that is more compatible with hats, and I'll try not to eat the whole ice cream cone before wearing this again. Aren't we lucky that SL food doesn't melt or spoil?

Next we take a peek at the Melody Adila // Fatpack from their pumpkin. It consists of the top and skirt in sizing for Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, and Reborn bodies, as well as a HUD that lets us choose from 20 colors apiece for the skirt, belt, top, and buttons, plus 5 metals. The buttons are on the left side of the tube top, which I'd like to note is a lacy texture so you might need pasties beneath (I am wearing nipple covers that came with my body's skin) for modesty. Would it be too grandma-ish to add that a pair of panties wouldn't go awry either? LOL! My intention is never to body shame or tell people what to do, but bring it to your attention if something might show off more than you intend.

Last but certainly not least for the evening, I am ready to party in our {Le'La} Samiela Dress Gift. This dress features my favorite gradient of colors from blue to pink, since it produces purple in the middle ♥. The pattern reminds me of foil embossing, and the low slung belt around the hips is totally 80s to me ;) It comes in Erika, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, and Waifu sizes. There is a HUD enclosed that did not seem to work, so either I had an SL glitch or it was popped in there by mistake since this is a gift version of the dress. I am absolutely not complaining, as I would choose this color combo in a heartbeat. I'm just mentioning it simply for informational purposes :) So where's the first place I should wear this fantastic look?

I had a nice time at my parents' for dinner, and I am looking forward to the farmers market tomorrow morning. I know it will be much colder than I'm used to outside, low 50s, but I'm shocked that it's only 38 degrees out there right now! Good thing I have a mini heater behind me, ready to go whenever I need it, but 67 in here doesn't actually feel too chilly yet I hope you all have an amazing weekend ahead, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Trick or Treat Lane

 Hiya everyone! Tonight it is time to visit Trick or Treat Lane, a fantastic shopping event and hunt which is packed with exclusive offers and treats that you can either buy for 50L at the booth or hunt for them for free. There are photos at each display of what you'll be buying if you pay the bag there, or getting for no cost if you seek the cute ghosts either in the booth or anywhere in the surrounding areas. It's always decorated so wonderfully, for which we have the Dark Passions events team to thank :) Great designers, bargains galore...it is a fun and affordable way to liven up your wardrobe for this season.

I happily noticed that several of the treats are elegant gowns, like the stunning DI Kate Dress from Dark Intentions. I must warn you first that the box in the folder says "add me" but everything it contains is no copy, so please rez it out and unpack it the traditional way :) This beauty is provided in sizing for Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Nhumana, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. The dark floral pattern looks beautiful against the black corset belt which is built into this full length gown. 

I also couldn't resist sharing the zOOm - Gypsy Soul Outfit, which is absolutely worth searching for :) The tube top and tiered skirt each come in 3 versions (colors 01, 02, and 03) and will all fit Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn bodies. I'm wearing color 01 on the left in both pieces, then the 02 top with the 03 skirt so you can take a peek at all three varieties. Two have a fantastic floral pattern, and the third has a slightly different take with more muted colors that is just as lovely. 

Another incredible gown is the Senzafine . Severine Gown - Barrowgold I'm enjoying here. The gauzy batwings and metallic trim are such gorgeous details, and the mossy color suits this time of year quite well. Find this gift and you'll receive sizing for Lara X, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Reborn, and Waifu bodies. That deep V neckline is ideal for framing your favorite necklaces, yet it is just as eye-catching on its own.

I was feeling a little spooky by now from all the ghosts I'd been clicking, so I decided you simply must see the [Ari-Pari] Halloween Dress gift next :) It has not only specters but skulls, spiders and their webs, candy corn, and more on the playful fabric, with black trim to contrast nicely. There are 10 color choices for the background via the enclosed HUD, and the dress itself comes in Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, and Waifu sizes. All those ghosts needed a friend or two, so I also added the .LunchMeat. Ghost earrings so my ears didn't feel left out ;) As you can see from the closer inset view, they hold a pumpkin with a tiny skull atop it, and are accessorized with a pretty bow on top of their heads. 

One more look for the evening, we have the [Witch In A Box] Lane Dress gift which I expect is named for the event. It is an enchanting minidress with scalloped edging at the neckline, and coppery details that make it look like it has been at least partly crafted in a forge. There are sizes for Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh bodies included. 

Whew, it has been a hectic couple of days and not entirely good. The podiatrist visit was okay, and I enjoyed gaming with friends this evening quite a bit :) Just as I was about to start this post, my parents called me, and you know how when someone who usually texts decides to make a phone call it is usually bad news? My godfather passed away today, and I am very sad for his sons who also had lost their mom a few years ago. They were both caring and thoughtful people, whom I consider true family, so my heart is heavy tonight. I don't want to leave this on a sad note, so I will wrap it up with my usual wishes for a nice day/evening and many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Chaotic Haunted Playground

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we're off to play, shop, and check out gifts from the Chaotic Haunted Playground. This event, as the name implies, takes place in an eerie park setting, and is loaded with seasonal sales offers. There are also gifts inside antique looking wooden toyboxes, free upon clicking or set for sale for 0L. I certainly need more plans this Halloween to have places to wear all these amazing treats!

For my first look I've slipped into the lovely BC-ARACHNIA VIOLET DRESS gift from Preciosity. It fits Kupra, Lara X, Legacy, and Reborn mesh bodies, and includes a HUD for the sparkle enhance lighting. There's even a BOM layer of tattoos inside, so you can add more spiders if the ones on the dress just aren't enough for you ;) I'm not overly fond of spiders in RL but am usually fine with the ones in SL, so the added arachnids are not a problem but I fully respect if you prefer to avoid the SL crawlies too. 

If our *V* Skully Dresses x4, Necklace and Shoes gift from Moonstar had a recipe, it would certainly include a dash of elegance, a heaping helping of spookiness, and a pinch of whimsy with a bow adorned with a skull :) The strapless dress is softly fluttery along the diagonal hemline, and comes in sizes for Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Bimbo, Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, and Reborn bodies. The sandals fit Gen X, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Slink feet, and the gifts also includes an adjustable necklace with a bold blue gem that brings out some tones in the sky on the fabric pattern. There's even a BOM black thong for modesty :) You can see it ever so slightly on the left hip on the left side above. I love all the purple and pink I've been seeing this Halloween season!

Next our striking **Eagle's Clothing** Spiderweb Dress gift is giving me cozy flashbacks to 50s shirtdress fashions like you'd see in movies and tv shows from that time. It continues to look incredible today, this time in dusky purple with cobwebs and the spiders who've spun them :) This beauty is provided in fitmesh standard sizes as well as Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Reborn, and Slink Physique mesh body sizing. The black band around the waist really cinches things and brings out the pattern nicely, don't you think?

If you're having a warm Halloween season (or plans to celebrate indoors), the .: AlmaMiranda :. Halloween Chaotic Events gift is an ideal choice to wear :) Its tied top and ruffle-edged shorts are each designed for Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. They've got cute dancing skeletons on their silky fabric, some of which are wearing top hats and I even saw a bow like a certain "greetings cat" whose video game I'm addicted to. Add your favorite pair of sandals, pumps, sneakers, or boots, and you're good to go!

My final peek of the night is another fantastic gift called THE CURSED ROSE PURPLE HALLOWEEN DRESS. It is my favorite color after all, and the spine-tingling images on the material include bats, skulls, and pumpkins for that special spooky flavor. There are sizes for Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Lara X, Petite X, Legacy, Bombshell, Nerido, Perky, Reborn, and Waifu bodies provided. 

It has been a pretty good day here, and I'm getting ready for a long day tomorrow as I've got a podiatrist visit that will probably have other stops before and/or after. My toes are okay, it's just a routine nail trim to keep the ingrowns away. One or two might be a bit pinchy, lol, so they will need a little more attention, but I've got this ;) No blog post tomorrow, but I'll be back with yet another seasonal event on Thursday. Meanwhile I hope you're all having a lovely day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Swank Goth Halloween

 Hiya everyone! Tonight's featured looks are from the SWANK Event and their Goth Halloween round, which also has a pumpkin hunt for the group members. There is no cost to join the group, and the pumpkins aren't really hidden exactly; just placed at most of the booths on both floors of the event. This is an annual tradition for me, along with a few other rounds of theirs with similar treats for us to enjoy. I'm hopeful that you make it a tradition for yourselves too :) There is a little something for everyone since there is male and female clothing/accessories as well as decor among the wide variety of sales and gifts being offered.

I chose the **BARONESS MEINSTER X DRACULA BRIDE STYLE COMPLETE OUTFIT** gift from V8 Underground to start things off in amazing style. The dress, gloves, and heels are all provided in sizes for Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, and Reborn mesh bodies, with BOM layers for our Evo-X makeup and the sexy stockings I am wearing. The gift also contains the statement necklace and the headpiece that adds some fishnet and flowers to the outfit. We can wear all of the components at once, or just choose what suits us at the moment to make it less formal or less costume-like. Honestly it doesn't seem like it should be limited to Halloween costume wear, and will work for any elegant destination.

The shine of our :::WILD:::Fashion Audelia Gown SWANK 2026 gift made me gasp a little :) I can't help it, this is one hot look that feels delightful for autumn. It is provided in Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, Juicy, and Waifu mesh body sizes, plus an alpha layer if needed. The mermaid style is such a consistently flattering choice, and I love the way the shoulder straps cross in the back.

Now if you want something that whispers Halloween (or Goth) in a slightly creepy voice, lol, I'm going to suggest the stunning ANNA Halloween Dress Pants Stole gift. Our full length dress has a bold opening down the left side, with a single strap and a pattern of skulls and crescent moons. It and matching pants (panties in the US) are designed to fit Gen X, Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, and Reborn bodies, while the fur stole draped over the right shoulder is included in 5 standard sizes (XXS - L). We are bound to find one to fit just right among them. 

There's something so fun and flirty about our GAW Halloween Dress gift, especially with that cheeky rear view ;) This strapless mini comes in sizing for Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn bodies, along with a HUD offering 18 haunting texture options. Not all the gifts are expected to adhere to the theme, but I'm pretty grateful for how well this one does.

For my final look of the night, I paired two gifts from the same brand that were found at different booths of theirs. The AXE- TOP TINA 03 naturally goes perfectly with the AXE - SHORTS TINA 02 treat, and I am grateful for their generosity. Both of these treats include Lara X, Legacy, Bombshell, Reborn, and Waifu mesh body sizes. The top is such a flirty tube, held loosely closed in the front by double straps that show off some cleavage. Then the shorts are gently laced on each side with what reminds me of scarves, fluttery and playful. They are designed like denim cutoffs, jeans for when you want to let your legs feel the sunlight :) 

I am running late tonight, thanks to several interruptions beyond my control, so I do apologize. All is well, nothing to worry about :) The weather is getting cooler, which I find quite lovely. I hope you're all having a pleasant day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

I Love Shop And Hop

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I am back at the Halloween Shop & Hop event to show you some more generous gifts found on the Delphinium region. We still have some time to explore and take advantage of the wonderful discounts while we pick up the free gifts from every booth :) The Halloween theme can bring out a wide range of ideas from these creative folks, and not everyone's offerings are strictly to theme as I don't believe it is required. It is always exciting to see what's available, and as usual we have the FabFree team to thank for a handy spreadsheet of the gifts that can be sorted by the tabs on the bottom left. I rely on it to make sure I didn't miss anything, or that nothing has changed (change log tab) since my visit. Have a spookily good time!

Let's start with the {S&C}Devra Magic Set gift from Spells & Charms. This fierce pairing of bodysuit and shorts will fit Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Reborn, and Juicy mesh bodies, and includes two HUDs. Both the bodysuit HUD and shorts HUD have 6 color choices for the bubbly pattern, so we can mix and match if we wish. The black background color matches the solid material of the shorts perfectly, giving a slightly spooky feeling that suits this time of year nicely. Just think - if you head to a beach or pool, you can slip out of the shorts and use the bodysuit as a swimsuit!

I am very impressed by our :Moon Amore: Dark Thorns Dress/GIFT, whose bodice is framed by thorny vines and 3D roses. The skirt reminds me of pleated or gathered plastic, slightly sheer with varying hues of red and gray that falls longer in the back. Pick up this treat and you'll receive sizing for Legacy, Maitreya, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. The small openings are tears in the fabric, probably caused by the sharp prickles of the bodice ;)

I always seem to find such pretty shirts at S&H rounds, like the Mossu - Phoebe Top - Halloween 2026. It's a lovely layered tank top and bra (all one piece) with black stars on our periwinkle tank top which fits Legacy, Maitreya, Reborn, and Waifu bodies. There is a HUD enclosed with an impressive 70 colors for the bra, as well as option to show/hide it. Personally I like it showing, and the default black color went well with the stars from the top :) But I certainly took advantage of the chance to show off some other colors that might catch your eye.

Next our Chakra - Halloween - Female - Raccoon gift is a playful way to add a little furry friend to your seasonal wardrobe. This cute trash panda is wearing a witch hat while carrying a lantern and a jack o lantern bucket, while leaving a house beneath the full moon. I guess they were trick or treating, and I hope they got something tasty! The house looks pretty dark, so maybe they got the last candy bars of the evening. (Yep, making up a whole story in my head for this cutie!) We receive Lara X, Legacy, and Reborn sizes of this t-shirt, along with an alpha layer that did come in handy as the mesh shape dips in at the waist somewhat. Once you add that, I think it looks terrific :) With this and the previous top, I'm wearing the Delizio jeans that appear here quite often, link in the Everyday Basics tab above. 

My final look of the evening is the Emerald Couture gift called EC Bax Dress Orange. Such a flirty style with open back and short skirt, it comes in 5 standard mesh sizes as well as Erika, Freya, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Bombshell, Maitreya, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, Waifu, Hourglass, and Physique mesh body sizing. The full moon is a backdrop for the shadow of an eerie tree with no leaves, and lots of silvery bats that look embossed onto the dress itself. We get a beautiful rear view too, as a similar image is on the back of the skirt. 

How was everyone's weekends? Mine was decent, and I did get to the farmers market where I picked up a nice variety of treats. The weather was chilly, making me wear a jacket for the first time this season, but at least there was no rain when I was out. My therapy went well earlier, and I am ready for a somewhat busy week ahead with goals and reassurance :) SL is also keeping me occupied, with all sorts of events and places to enjoy for the spooky season. I hope you're all having a nice day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Happy FLF-o-Ween

 Hiya everyone! Tonight it's a pleasure to invite you to the FLF-o-Ween '26 shopping event, brought to us by Fifty Linden Fridays. You probably already know and love the weekly sales, since there are so many impressive designers who take part each week at their mainstores. This is all in one location though, special discounted items and free gifts for the FLF group in pumpkin buckets in front of the booths. They can be orange, purple, or green, all carved with the very traditional jack-o-lantern face in black. Just give each one a click and the treats will roll in :) We have just over 2 weeks left so plenty of time to visit, try out some demos, and make some purchases while you grab all the seasonal treats.

Our -Pixicat- Phoebe Dress (Bats) gift is a great choice for the spooky season with a flirty twist. I love the way the straps in the back meet in the middle, giving slight spiderweb vibes while accentuating the graceful lines of the neck and back. The dress comes in sizes for Lara X, Petite X, Legacy, Perky, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. Our dark purple hue makes the black bats a little more subtle, and the bare shoulders are a playful contrast for the long flared sleeves.

This beauty is the LEROY - Vivian Dress - Black gift which is one of 3 gifts at their booth. They've put out one pumpkin of each color so please click them all :) I'm so fond of Basque waist style dresses, that dropped V waist that had a huge moment in the 80s and I've honestly been eager for a comeback! Combine that with the buttoned front and sweetheart neckline trimmed in ruffles, and I'm a very happy magpie. There are Lara X, Legacy, Reborn, and Waifu mesh body sizes included in the gift.

Next I decided to accessorize another LEROY gift with an amazing pair of wings. The Margot Dress - Purple gift has some unique styling with a bare right arm and right hip, diagonal hem and sassy opening to show off cleavage. It comes in sizing for Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh bodies. Our LuluB! & UNA - Musa - Wings - Alassea are ethereal animated wings that flap gently to show the pastel rainbow of colors that resembles stained glass. There are shades of purple that are lighter than the dress but still coordinate with it so nicely. I'll bet you have plenty of goodies in your inventory already that could use some fairy magic like this :)

Pairs seem to be the theme of this look, like the KLEIN"Edna"Rose pairing of tube top and crop jacket with elbow length sleeves. Each of these is provided in Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Senra, Reborn, and Waifu sizes, but please note - the Legacy jacket was no-copy so it didn't unpack automatically when I added the HUD. When I realized it was missing I rezzed the box/HUD on the ground, edited and went to the contents tab, to find my jacket stuck in there ;) Clicked and dragged it to the folder, and that sorted that out. Then we have a fantastic pair (yep, pair again LOL) of pants called LEROY - Tasha Pants - Black that look so striking with the jacket and top! These bad boys are provided in sizes for Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn bodies, with built in belt that has the brand logo as the buckle in gold. This is the type of texture that makes me want to touch the fabric and feel the squeak ;) 

My final look is another pairing of two generous gifts. [The Forge] Adeline Top, Black has halter straps that cross both front and back, plus separate sleeves so you can decide if you wish to wear the top with or without. The top and sleeves are designed for Lara X, Legacy, Perky, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. I love this style of sleeve that covers the palms and loops around the thumb, a playful look that also serves a purpose in RL if you add a coat on top and don't want the sleeves bunched up in the coat's sleeves. As for the pants, I must admit I thought there were adorned with snowflakes at first, lol, but now realize that the KILLJOY Dreamy Leggins [FLF O WEEN] gift is awash in little cobwebs :) The high waisted leggings cling to every curve, and are provided in Lara X, Legacy, Reborn, and Juicy Rolls sizes each with or without a bulge. So there's extra curves possible for them to cling to ;) This so reminds me of yesterday, watching a reaction video of a couple listening to Lola by The Kinks for the first time and realizing what the lyrics meant. I knew they would be respectful about it, and I have found myself really enjoying music reaction videos of younger people discovering the music I grew up on and loving it.

I haven't decided if I got lucky or unlucky today, LOL, since the weather did not get as bad as expected (storms swerved away from the area) but I still didn't go to my parents' for dinner since the plans were already canceled. I had a few things to talk to them about that weren't serious or urgent, so that was a mild disappointment. At least I have a farmers market to visit in the morning, and therapy Sunday should keep my brain quite busy this weekend. I hope you all enjoy your weekend ahead, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
