FabFree Gifties

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I visited several FabFree in SL participating designers, randomly selected from their group gift listing. I'd noticed they had done a lot of updating there lately, and it felt like a sign for me to check out some of the older ones :) The group is free to join, and the blog is a fantastic source of information, so the pairing is just *chef's kiss* perfection! I am such a fangirl when it comes to them, LOL, with no intentions of ever hiding that fact ♥. These are older gifts so I can't guarantee that they won't be swapped out soon for new ones, which simply means hurry and enjoy.


First I visited b[ELLE] to claim their adorable 2509 Glory Halter Romper. As a denim loving girlie, I am so excited to show this fun jumpsuit with its collared halter neck, deep V to show off cleavage, and buttons down the front. There are sizes for Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, and Reborn mesh bodies provided, all with flowers down each slender fitting pant leg. The distressed denim really is a great touch, a little lighter in all the right places.


We can find a really charming treat called Candy at the Nut & Squirrel store (formerly Telsiope's Couture) which you'll find by teleporting to the bargains area and walking up the stairs. Its top and skirt each come in Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Lara X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh body sizes. There is also a HUD for each, with 20 colors for the top or skirt (depending on which HUD of course) and 20 for the attached hearts. Many of the skirt colors have a sheer texture, so I'm going to suggest adding your favorite panties for modesty :) 


Next stop, [satus Inc] to grab their lovely Valeska Sweater & Scallop Mini Skirt Beige gift. Both pieces have a subtle texture that either makes me think leather or suede, flattering on such a soft color. They each fit Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies. It's one of those simply chic outfits that we can accessorize any way we wish, to dress it up or down.


I'm picking up good vibrations 🎵…yes, this outfit earwormed me ;) It is our GoodVibes HER GoodVibes Only Set, and there is a coordinated HIS look available as well. We start with the sparkly tunic top in sizing for Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, Waifu, and Star mesh bodies, then we get to add the BOM leotard upper and lower portions and a BOM pair of panties in river rock color. The "Good Vibes Only" saying on the front is basically my outlook on SL, trying to keep my time inworld positive and cheerful.


My final look of the night is from ART & FASHION on their big wall of various groups' gifts. It is the AMORE OUTFIT, and inside you'll find the long gown and strappy boots each in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh body sizes. The right side of our gown is daringly open, and the front is embellished with a beautiful flower on the skirt beneath the image of two faces about to kiss. There's a hand beneath them, as one gently cups the other's chin, and the grey on black gives a smoky, romantic feeling. Since we can only see part of the faces, they could be literally anyone of any age, ethnicity or gender, so that adds a little mystery as well.

It has been a whirlwind here...yesterday I was out for a good chunk of the day, and it went decently but the way home was entirely spent on the phone with my parents discussing the following day (today). My dad had his cardiac ablation procedure done this morning in hopes of treating the a-fib, and fortunately it went very well. The hospital he went to specializes in cardiology, and the surgeon is highly trained and respected. My dad was feeling fine when we spoke this evening, not even the soreness they said to expect, so that is a huge relief ♥. It probably wouldn't surprise anyone that I was nervous, since being anxious is pretty much my middle name, lol, but I am deeply grateful for the folks who took such good care of my dad and for everyone who offered any of us emotional support or a sympathetic ear. Tomorrow is my usual phone call and gaming night with friends, which I really need :) I hope you're all having a beautiful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

February Gifts From Off-Line

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we visit "Off-Line", with lots of generous group gifts available. Their group is now $99L to join, and if you stay in it you'll gain access to several group gifts each month, all year long :) February's pack is 7 gifts, which I believe was January's count as well, and another good reason to remain in the group is that each December they offer a group-only Advent calendar that is simply not to be missed. I know that's a long way off, but the monthly treats will tide you over until then :) Personally I am a longtime fan who is grateful for their generosity, and enjoy sharing their gifts.


For my first look, I'm wearing the "Off-Line" x "Tiffany" Dress / Fatpack group gift. This daring tank dress has bold slits from beneath the bust all the way to the hem, and works really well with the enclosed panties for a little more coverage. Both the dress and panties are packed by size - Freya, Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn. The package includes both pieces each in baby blue, black, buttercream, cantaloupe, chocolate, cobalt, grape, grey, hot pink, lavender, lemon, lime, marzipan, nude, passion, periwinkle, pigeon, pistachio, rose, salmon, spring, taffy, tangerine, thistle, turquoise, and white. I'm wearing the taffy dress and panties on the left, with the spring dress layered over the chocolate panties to the right. 


Our "Off-Line" x "Pandora" Set / Fatpack gift starts with a seductive dress that is sheer up top and open to bare one shoulder, so the bra tops provided really do come in handy if you aren't headed for an adult venue. Like many of their creations, there are unpacking HUDs by size included, in this case Freya, Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh body sizing. They each hold the dress and bra in black, buttercream, cantaloupe, grey, lavender, lemon, lime, marzipan, nude, periwinkle, pigeon, pistachio, rose, salmon, taffy, tangerine, thistle, turquoise, and white versions. That's tangerine and pistachio on the left, and on the right I'm wearing lavender with the grey bra beneath but it mostly takes on the purplish hue from the sheer dress in the back. All the colors are beautiful, and you can mix them up however you wish :)


It might not be a coincidence that the song Dancing Queen just came on, LOL, just when I'm ready to twirl around in our flirty "Off-Line" x "Zeri" Dress / Fatpack gift. It has some eye-catching cutouts and a halter neckline, and fits Freya, Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh bodies. Each size includes baby blue, black, buttercream, cantaloupe, chocolate, cobalt (right above), grape, grey, lavender, lemon, lime, marzipan, nude, passion (left), periwinkle, pigeon, pistachio, rose, salmon, spring, taffy, tangerine, thistle, turquoise, and white. Spoiler alert - they will all look flattering and fantastic on you!


A few of these treats have HUDs to change the colors, like our "Off-Line" x "BBG" Set / Fatpack. The top and skirt each come in sizing for Freya, Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh bodies, and the enclosed HUD offers 20 colors each for the top, skirt, and string that is laced through both sides of the skirt. This way we get to customize the look as much and as often as we want, making it just as versatile as all their gifts tend to be. 


My final look of the night is a more casual, sporty style called "Off-Line" x "Reyna" Dress / Fatpack. This one is HUD-controlled too, with 4 base colors and 20 side color options. The base colors are breezy neutrals that will go wonderfully with either bolder hues or similarly neutral shades if you prefer. The short sleeved dress with elastic waistband is provided in Freya, Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh body sizes. 

Whew, it suddenly got busy here and I feel a bit frantic as a result. The support group session was a good one, with 3 new members and 2 returning ones who hadn't been there since before I started, so lots of new faces and helpful points of view. Tomorrow I'm going out earlier than expected and with more stops than originally planned, so no time to blog tomorrow unfortunately. I will probably need to recuperate anyway, lol, since anxiety is such a beast sometimes. I hope you're all having a nice day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Cupid's Curse Event

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I'm bringing you to the Cupid's Curse Event from Difony Events, and if you're familiar with them then you'll already have an idea of what to expect. They bring a Gothic flavor and a non-traditional twist to this holiday season, which is terrific because there used to be some anti-Valentine hunts but I didn't find any this year. Visit the event and you will find free gifts (no group needed) hanging on lantern posts next to nearly every booth, in anatomically correct hearts rather than ♥ this shape ;) That is why I don't mind sharing this after the official holiday, as the gifts aren't themed quite the same as many events or hunts this time of year. It's open until early March, so there is plenty of time to pick up demos and return to enjoy some shopping.


My first look is the [Witch In A Box] Mystic Connection Outfit, which is a versatile and flirty gift. The top and skirt are separates that fit Erika, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh bodies, and we also receive a HUD that offers 3 colors for each piece. Since they are all neutrals, mixing and matching is simple and fun :) The crescent moon on the back of the skirt appears on the front of both top and skirt, but with the added branches that bring the upcoming spring to mind. Right now it feels like it'll take ages to reach us, lol, but I trust that it will be here soon enough.


I adore the ~Sassy!~ brand and style, so their gift called Rowan dress - swirls was an immediate favorite. It has a playful halter neckline with two front straps linked by triple chains draped where you might normally see a necklace, and there are more chains in the back and at the side notches of the skirt. In sizes for Erika, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, and Reborn mesh bodies, this dress also has a HUD with 6 dress colors and 5 metals for those chains. So pretty!


On the sexy side of the gifts, we have the [C.YFashion]*HEART*GIFT Valentine seen above. The heart-shaped pasties with tassels (and an extra tassel down below!) comprise the mesh bra, which comes in sizes for Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Lara X, Legacy, and Reborn mesh bodies, while the panties are a BOM layer that will work with all those bodies and more. The texturing is fantastic, with a satiny sheen, straps both front and rear, and gold heart loops. They are about to come in handy again too...


*MARTINES*LOVER1 is a thoughtful free gift with red quilted patterning and gold trim that go together beautifully. This open jacket or coat will be delightful to layer over your favorite BOM clothing like tops, pants, or leggings, and I'm already planning to wear it with a pair of jeans and a tank top. Our gift includes Erika, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Lara X, Petite X, Prima, Reborn, and Star mesh bodies.


I'm still wearing those panties in my final look (more obvious from behind), the flirtatious -MicRo- Outfit Black Gift. The cropped short sleeve top has fishnet insets that make it slightly revealing, and the skirt has an itty bitty hem that explains why I'm still wearing those panties ;) It was either that or modesty flowers. Each piece comes in sizes for Lara X, Legacy, and Reborn mesh bodies.

It was a decent weekend here, and I am really glad I finally got to go back to the farmers market :) It was either 5 or 6 weeks in a row they were closed because of the weather, I lost track I guess, but it's extra stupid when they used to be an indoor market which would have solved a lot of that. I was so happy to see everyone again, and it seemed to be mutual, plus I picked up some treats I hadn't had in all that time. I did come up with an alternative to Music Choice since I couldn't get their app to work on my tv...it hit me that the housemate has satellite radio for the car and they in fact do have an app for Roku tv :) Tomorrow evening is a support group meeting (anxiety/agoraphobia) and I have no idea what I'll be blogging after that, LOL, but I am sure I will find something. I hope you're all having a pleasant day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Love Is All You Need

 Hiya everyone! Tonight is a part two of the CMH Love Is All You Need 6 Hunt, where we search for pretty red hearts with either a $1L prize or a $25L - $50L exclusive offer. There are some truly impressive selections here and so affordable, thanks to our generous and talented designers :) Be sure to check the hunt website for details like landmarks, hints, prices, and preview images so you know where to look and what you'll receive. Whether you are celebrating Valentine's Day, Galentine's Day, or simply the fact that love touches all our lives, there are many reasons to be grateful and to treat yourself. 


We start with the gorgeous @rOrO Ashley & Everly Hearts Pattern 2 prize, yours for just $1L. This top and skirt set includes both pieces in Erika, Lara X, Legacy, Reborn, and Star mesh body sizes. I really like the way the ruffled top shows off our shoulders, and the heart pattern is somewhat floral too so it'll work for any season.


Life is like a box of chocolates, or at least the fabric of the Psyche's Pstyles Love Is Sweet Dress prize is ;) Find the $1L heart here and you'll receive sizing for Freya, Hourglass, Kupra, Kups, Legacy, Perky, Perky Petite, Maitreya, Petite, Prima Busty, Prima Petite, and Reborn mesh bodies. Did you notice the word LOVE hidden among the chocolates? Too cute and clever!


Another terrific dollarbie from this hunt is the Pynk Kyzz Kimi Mesh Top from Pynkie. This flirty bikini top fits Erika, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Reborn, Waifu, and Star mesh bodies, and is tied at the neck and mid back with cute bows. Isn't the pattern fun with the leopard print and pink kisses?


Don't forget to visit ART & FASHION for their hunt offerings, like this $1L LOVERS IN RED OUTFIT. We can wear the lovely dress with romantic image printed on the front, in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh bodies. Then we can choose to add the playful jacket in fitmesh S, M, L, or all the same mesh body sizes as the dress. The dress has fun cutouts, and the jacket gives edgy biker vibes. 


Next I slid into the CloudNine Look Her T-dress prize, one of two $1L treats here as the other is for the guys. Our short sleeved tee is just long enough to be a short dress, or a tunic style shirt if you layer some pants beneath. There are Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, Waifu, and Star mesh body sizes included, decorated both front and back :) The front says "You Look Like You Love Me" with several colored hearts, and the back has a pair of cheeky monkeys (nod to the hunt organizers!) surrounded by multicolored hearts. They look pretty cozy, and seeing their smiling faces really warmed my heart.

Dinner with my parents was really nice, and now I'm getting a little nervous about going to the farmers market again for the first time in several weeks. I lost track if they canceled 5 or 6 times in a row there, but I'm grateful for the chance to visit again :) The hot dog truck who is the featured lunch does not appeal to me, but there will be plenty of other treats for me to choose from. It'll be above freezing during the day this weekend, so that is a pleasant change and something to appreciate. I hope you all have a fabulous weekend ahead, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Poppy Shop and Hop

 Hiya everyone! Tonight's post comes from the Poppy region of the Valentine Shop & Hop event, where you'll find 20 stores with discounted offers and gifts for all. I'm sharing a sampling of those gifts, since we all deserve something new and special :) We have until the 16th to visit and enjoy the shopping at all 14 regions, and I strongly suggest the FabFree spreadsheet to help you find specific gift types if you wish.


We start the evening with the Carol's - Valentines Gift 2026 top, which naturally has tiny hearts decorating the creamy white fabric. It is gathered with an opening in the front for a glimpse of cleavage, and the bow on top lets its tails dangle through there :) We receive sizes for Erika, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Momma, Nhuma, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. I paired it with the blue pair of Delizio jeans from their marketplace gift that makes appearances here on my blog quite often, but I can also imagine it with skirts, leggings, shorts, or your favorite pants.


I'm a big fan of Petrichor, so it is a real treat to share their :[P]: - Yanni Valentine Gift. Would you believe that's all one piece? So easy to wear, in sizing for Belleza Classic, Belleza Curvy, Lara X, Petite X, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Reborn, Mounds, and Waifu mesh bodies. The gift also includes a HUD with 6 main texture choices (click the button you want, then the "all" button below), plus a secondary HUD that offers 50 pearls colors, 10 metals, 40 colors for the straps, options to hide the arm bands, panty pearls, panty all, corset pearls, corset straps, or skirt pearls. Between these HUDs you can really customize this look to suit your mood or personal taste, and I deeply appreciate that versatility.


Next I got to feel pretty in pink, thanks to the Just Ordinary - Tasha Dress Hearts gift. It's a terrific halter style dress with a cinched skirt on the left side, tied to show off a little extra thigh. The bright pink shows off the lighter pink hearts so nicely! There are Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Nhumana, Reborn, and Waifu mesh body sizes provided to fit lots of popular brands and shapes. Now I'm wondering where Xan should take me this weekend if I wear this ;)


For a more formal date, I'm happy to suggest the ::: pm ::: Tessa Gown v2 -Valentines Edition Cherry- gift from purplemoon. This is one of those brands that I remember from my earliest days here in SL, so it gives me nostalgic flutters to enjoy their creations still :) Our lovely gown comes in sizes for Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies, awash with tiny hearts and mixing elegance with flirtatiousness thanks to those side cutouts. I had to raise my hover height a bit to make sure that skirt train was fully visible, noteworthy because it just makes it look so amazing :)


If you noticed my spicy lil talons in the previous photos, you'll be glad to see a closer look of the shebzZzaar - GIFT - VALENTINE SHOP & HOP mesh nails. They will fit eBody, Inithium, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh hands; all you need to do is hide the default nails with your body's HUD and add the correct size mesh beauties. Then you get to play with the HUD, which offers 6 textures for each individual nail as well as the ability to adjust shine, opacity, and glow. I was very briefly into the scrapbooking craze of the 90s, so these are reminding me of the fancy scissors and hole punches that I bought at the time :) I would absolutely still use those to create guides to paint my RL nails too, although they are not nearly this long. 

Whew, it was nice to have a day off from blogging but also great to be back :) The outing went well, nothing really noteworthy, and we were above freezing today so that helps get rid of a little of the snow and ice out there. Tonight I got to chat with a friend while we played games, and it was so fun hearing about her experiences seeing the monks who were walking for peace. That was a rare opportunity that I appreciated hearing about :) Tomorrow is dinner with the parents, and I'm 90% sure I know what I'll be blogging but I do have to allow for those last minute "hey this event is happening and ends in 2 days" things that seem to sneak up on me sometimes. I hope you're all having a beautiful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Lovers Lane Hunt

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we take a stroll down Lovers Lane, more specifically the Malus Park gridwide hunt by that name :) There are prizes for $5L or less in either red or pink hearts, thin but still 3D and easy to keep an eye out for if you follow the hints. They can be found at the hunt signs in most of the stores, or on the hunt website along with the landmarks and preview images. It is very handy to have it open while you're exploring the hunt. I'm always excited to see what each designer is offering, and you'll notice that some have multiple prizes so be sure to look around well.


I'm starting the post with our $5L prize from [Ari-Pari] which is appropriately called Love Dress. This charming sundress is provided in Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh body sizes, along with a HUD offering 10 colors of the heart pattern you see above. That's such a bargain for all those lovely color choices, and I am drawn to the ruffled hem and the pretty bows atop each strap.


Find the dollarbie heart at @rOrO and you'll receive the adorable Ashley & Everly Hearts Pattern 3 outfit. The bare shouldered top is named Ashley, so naturally Everly is the shapely below-the-knee skirt with hem that comes to a point both front and back. Each piece comes in sizes for Erika, Lara X, Legacy, Reborn, and Star mesh bodies. The black provides a fun contrast for the cream and red, creating a very appealing color palette.


Next we see one of the 6 Gidget's Style prizes, all for $5L apiece. This is their GS Abby Dress PINK, a trio of dresses in sizing for Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Reborn, and Juicy mesh bodies. I'm wearing just the dress on the right, and the left is our dress with top; the version not shown is the dress with a light colored top beneath instead :) These are so versatile for any season, since you can decide if you are feeling like covering up your arms or not. In my RL weather, I'd absolutely be wearing a variety with the top ;) The dress itself has such a playful texture, and it looks great in the other colors too from the other hidden hearts.


Since I find the color pink to be very romantic and feminine, the TRS Designs Isarena Top prize is a fantastic choice for Valentine's Day. It's also hard to resist a $1L deal this pretty :) This heart contains Erika, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh body sizes. The color caught my eye first, but the bare arms, turtleneck style, and cropped hem are all delightful details too of coruse.


My final look of the evening is one of many $5L prizes at Martines, actually it's the 10th of 10 hidden hearts. The 26LOVERSLANE10 treat is a daring one-piece outfit (can't decide if that's a skirt or open pant leg) in spicy hot pink with black lipstick prints all about, held by thin straps on the mostly open right side. It includes sizes for Gen X, Kupra, Legacy, Bombshell, Maitreya, Lara X, Peach, Prima Busty, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. I'd like to note that the hunt website has 7 of the 10 hints, but if you click the red and pink hearts hovering over the hunt sign at the store, you'll receive 5 hints from each for a total of ten. Check out that hunt key, there are some fantastic home decor items hidden in the hearts as well.

It was a decent day here, but I am planning a very busy day tomorrow so I most likely won't have time to blog. Going out way earlier than usual and making several stops means that my usual blog prep time will be taken up, just keeping my fingers crossed that I tolerate the outing well :) That way it'll be worth the inconvenience. I hope you're all having a lovely day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Hollyhock Shop and Hop

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I'm back at the Valentine Shop & Hop event, with several gifts to share found on the Hollyhock region. There are 14 regions so I keep them organized that way, giving one landmark at a time to track them all down :) The destination guide has the landmarks for all of them, but it's helpful to know that you can start at any and walk them all in a big rectangle. Also the FabFree spreadsheet of gifts is an excellent way to find certain ones you may be seeking, for example you can sort by type (tabs at the bottom left) to find the men's goodies, or by store name if you're scrolling to look for one specific brand. I'm eternally grateful to them for their hard work, as I am to all the designers who offer discounted sales and gifts at all of these wonderful S&H round :)


First I slipped into the Jack Spoon. Fleur Set - Red Lace gift, which is a perfectly paired strapless bodysuit and wrap skirt. Each is provided in original and PBR versions, all in sizing for Legacy, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. I'm wearing the PBR on the left and non-PBR on the right, not a huge difference at first glance. I love the lace, and the vivid color is just right for Valentines while still working for any other time of year.


I kept the skirt on but swapped the bodysuit for our B-DEAN-Slouchy Tank Top-Valentine treat. This gift is designed to fit male and female avatars, so we receive sizes for Jake, Lara X, Legacy F, Legacy M, Reborn, V-Tech, and Waifu mesh bodies. These playful tanks are decorated with lots of sketches of hearts in assorted styles, love them!


This beauty looks even more spectacular in person, so be sure to grab the hizNherz Siren Dress! There is a male gift too, so you'll want to let your favorite guys know about this stop too. Our dress and strapless panties each fit Erika, Kupra, Kupra Natural, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Prima Petite, Reborn, Waifu, and Star mesh bodies. The rainbow of colors looks animated, like watching the sun shine through water.


Our dirty kitten Hearts Dress gift includes sizing for Erika, Kupra, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, Waifu, and Star mesh bodies. This flirty halter has a terrific heart pattern and a purplish shimmer that appears to move around the fabric, similarly to the previous gift above :) These gifts both have such a mesmerizing glow, I absolutely recommend grabbing both and passing along the info that this store also has a gift for the guys.


My final gift look of the night is our @AdReNaLiZeD@ Alaina Luvina dress. I'm not sure which feature is my favorite - the strapless style, bare midriff, or asymmetrical hemline! There are sizes for Erika, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, Petite X, Prima Busty, Reborn, Waifu, and Star mesh bodies. Of course we've got more holiday hearts on our pattern, but I'm still going to wear it any time of year ;)

I'm running late tonight so I'll just wrap this up with a wish for a happy day/evening and many magical magpie hugs for everyone!!
