Scandalize Group Goodies

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we are visiting Scandalize, where there is an entire building full of generous gifts for their group. It's 100L to join but that gets you over 200 fatpacks of clothing and footwear to enjoy :) They have been a vital part of women's fashion in SL for such a long time, and it is fun to see what is new at their place :) Last night they had a random gift giver set up for group members with Halloween treats that sounds like a very limited time deal, but they also had 200L store credit for just 1L to claim. The closer we get to the December holidays, the more surprises we might find there too :) All of tonight's treats are found on the left side of the group gift building.

My first random pick of the night is our SCANDALIZE BASTEN SET SWEATER + JEANS group gift. Its sweater and jeans are in one package, each in Lara X, Legacy, Bombshell, Reborn, and Waifu sizing. The sweater HUD offers 25 solid colors and 10 patterns to choose from, then the jeans HUD has 25 solid denim and 25 patterned denim (skeleton hands!) with the same 25 colors and 10 patterns for the laces (wrapped around the right leg) as you'll find on the sweater HUD. The heels are packed separately in sizes for Lara X, Legacy, and Reborn feet, with a HUD that lets us choose from 25 colors each for the socks, heels, laces, and soles. We can get so creative with these HUDs, and the print I picked on the left says BOO so we do have a Halloween theme but the solid colors are perfect for any season.

If you (like me) have memories of Jane Fonda workout tapes or Richard Simmons' Sweating to the Oldies, it's time to get some medical screening tests you might feel some nostalgia from the SCANDALIZE. JESSA SET FATPACK gift. It starts with the top, panty, and pants, each in Lara X, Legacy, Bombshell, Reborn, and Waifu sizes. The top HUD has 25 choices each as top 1, top 2, and top 3, then the panty HUD offers 25 colors for panty 1, panty 2, seams, and seams 2. The difference between 1 and 2 seems to be the XO pattern where the O is a heart ♥ which I love. The pants have a similar HUD with 25 colors for pants 1, pants 2, and the seams which also tints the waistband. Open the unpacker for the heels and you'll find Lara X, Legacy, and Reborn versions inside, as well as a HUD that lets us choose from 25 colors apiece for the heels, heels 2, sole, and insole. So much fun!

Next I've changed into the SCANDALIZE. MARRA TOP + JEANS FATPACK gift, which has a playful surprise for the rear view ;) Our top and separate sleeves each come in sizes for Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn bodies, with a HUD to pick from 40 solid colors, 20 cheetah print hues, and 24 patterns. Then we dig into the jeans, provided in Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn sizing with a HUD that has 20 fun shades of denim to choose from. I was surprised to turn around and see that the pockets are being held on by mere strings, as the denim surrounding them has gotten more distressed than someone whose phone is down to 1% battery. 

Are you loving the footwear with added sock layers as much as I am? :) The SCANDALIZE. Lethy set FATPACK has them too, along with a dress, hoodie, and G-string. The clothing pieces all fit Lara X, Legacy, Bombshell, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies, with plenty of HUDs of course. The dress HUD offers 25 colors each for dress, dress pattern, straps, and string. The sweater HUD (hoodie) lets us select from those same great 25 hues for the sweater, laces, hood, and straps for even more versatility. The G-string has a 25 color HUD too, so that can match or contrast however you wish. Dig into the package for the heels and you'll find Lara X, Legacy, and Reborn sizes, along with a HUD that has the same 25 hues for our socks, strap, heels, and sole. I want to male a sole/soul pun here, but my wordplay game is feeling weak tonight ;)

My final look has me slipping happily back into jeans, thanks to the SCANDALIZE-ANETH BIKINI + JEANS FATPACK group gift. I'm strolling down memory lane because of the denim, yet very much appreciating the modern twists as far as styles go, not just this gift but all of them :) The bikini top and bottom each fit Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Reborn bodies, with a HUD (not surprised by that I'm sure) offering 30 solids and 16 prints apiece for the top, bottom, and strings that hold it all in place. Our jeans fit Legacy, Maitreya and Reborn bodies, and their HUD lets us pick from 20 fantastic denim colors. If I'm recalling correctly, they were blue and grey/black with a peach and a pink included too, so branching out a bit from the more typical denims for those oh-so-fun alternatives.

Whew, I think this weekend was just what I needed :) I'm not sure what my therapist expected when I said earlier that the last 2 weeks were rough, but probably not that two people in my life died and I can't stop thinking about a girl who went to my grade school briefly and I was told she died but on the entire internet there is only 1 shred of evidence that she ever existed. Unusual first name, common last name, one single search result is a yearbook from 2nd grade from a different school. My mom remembers her name but not that she died, and I now can't ask the person I was going to because that's the friend whose mom just passed. Life is so strange sometimes, and I am eagerly planning for the holidays so I am not all doom and gloom :) I hope you're all having a nice day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Have a Fabulous Weekend

 Hiya everyone! Tonight is a mixture of moods and styles, but what they have in common is that they're all group gifts from FabFree in SL. You don't have to pay to join their group, or to receive any of these sweet treats, so there's no reason not to indulge and pick them up :) I chose one fall-themed outfit and one Halloween one to show you, so we even get some seasonal goodies among the many generous possibilities. 

My first stop was [Sexy Princess] for their playful Calista Set gift, which does in fact make me feel like a sexy princess :) This look is two pieces - tube top with two straps down the front and a micro miniskirt with built in panties - each in sizing for Lara X, Legacy, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. They fit together so perfectly that it does look like a single piece, but this way you can wear them separately if you wish. The snowy white color stands out as being universally flattering and easy to accessorize.

[satus Inc] also has a special gift waiting for us, named Brixley Sleeveless Crop Top & Shorts Dots. The pattern is delightful, and the bow (scarf?) attached to the left shoulder has similar colors in a different print for added visual appeal. There are Erika, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn sizes included for each piece. It is getting cooler here in RL, but I think that makes some people crave warmer SL weather. So this would suit that idea quite nicely :)

Next we're cruising to Hello Uglies to grab their HU - Darlena Strange outfit. The top says "Beautifully Strange" in purple on a dark background with green twinkling stars, and I'm loving the crossed straps both front and back. I can't neglect the intricately crafted skirt either, with a sheer purple ruffle layer and double belts on the right front of the waist. I think it leans Goth which can be appropriate for Halloween but certainly not limited to it, and personally I've been drawn to the darker side of SL fashions lately ;) 

I did promise something fall, and I think the GoodVibes Cozy Autumn set is just the ticket. The top and bottom are separates in sizing for Lara X, Petite X, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Reborn, Waifu, and Star mesh bodies. The top is barely tied closed at the neck, with ribbons that match the solid tan trim of the balloon shaped shorts. Both pieces have a wonderful pattern of falling leaves that coordinates nicely with that solid color trim, and it does indeed look like a cozy outfit for lounging or popping over to your favorite stores. 

My final look of the night is also my last Halloween outfit of the year (I think), courtesy of Dark Salvation. Their .::DS::. Asaka Party Bats is a flirty pairing of tube top and fluttery skirt, each in Lara X, Petite X, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Reborn, and Waifu sizes. The top is trimmed in green while the skirt has an attached purple belt whose buckle reminds me of a seatbelt, with fun silver chain draped across the front. Both trim colors are found in the pattern of black bats with dots and stars in various hues, as though our batty friends are flying through a cloud of confetti :) There are 2 other similar gifts for other groups on the same wall as this one, so be sure to peek at those too before Halloween season comes to a close. 

When texting I find myself frequently sending the reaction gif of Kermit the frog flailing around frantically, and that's about how I feel right now. My childhood best friend's mom passed away, and they live quite far away now (like 1000 miles) so I hadn't seen the friend or her mom in ages. Back then she was a second mom to me, and I was already processing the discussions at dinner about my godfather's funeral this afternoon. Rough to process, but I'm doing my best. The plans for Thanksgiving prep were another big topic that did not get fully resolved, but a start is better than nothing. My stomach is uneasy from stress, not terribly surprising I suppose. I'm looking forward to unwinding this weekend until therapy Sunday when I can try to process all of this safely :) I wish you all a fantastic weekend ahead, Happy Halloween, and many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Blue Moon

 Hiya everyone! Tonight's post is full of treats from the Blue SL event, gifts for their VIP group which is free to join. The current round runs until the 8th of November, so over a week to stop by and check it out :) There are exclusive offers, 50L sales items, and plenty of treats to tempt us. As for my title, I got into the habit of using song titles with the word blue in them for this event, and wanted something a little reminiscent of Halloween so the moon = night, and that can be spooky for some just like the end of October :) Of course my brain is trying to recall all the lyrics now...blue moon, you saw me standing alone, without a dream in my heart, without a love of my own...I am pretty sure it's got a happy ending so not scary, just a classic song of love and longing.

I am starting the evening with The Bold Llama T-Shirt Co. WHITE FLOWER Tee, a sweet gift that shows that florals look beautiful any time of year. This blossom looks like it's been surrounded by chalk or watercolor paint, just a stunning image on our cozy tank top. The unpacker HUD lets us choose from standard mesh sizes or eBody Classic, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, Waifu, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP mesh bodies. Just click what you need and hang onto that HUD for future use if you wish :) I'm wearing the black Delizio jeans that are linked in my Everyday Basics tab above, a consistently useful gift on the marketplace.

I adore the @rOrO Gemma Set Boo gift, as I'm all about casual outfits with creative twists. The tank top and shorts each have star shaped cutouts and insets of ghost patterned fabric, with an individual ghost on each that says BOO! beneath it. Both pieces are provided in Erika, Lara X, Legacy, Nhumana, Prima, Reborn, and Star mesh bodies. You can guess that I am headed to their mainstore soon to see if they have it in other colors/fabrics too, because I'm pretending they're Pokémon and gotta catch 'em all! To claim this you might need to pay 1L but it will be automatically refunded while the gift is delivered to you.

THE SHARK TANK has 2 gifts, one for men and one for women, so I'm happy to show you their AUDRY SOLID FP. Just click the images that say BlueSL Gift to receive them for free :) The top, skirt, and shoes are each included in Kupra, Lara X, Petite X, Legacy, Perky, Reborn, and Waifu sizes, along with a HUD that offers 20 colors for each piece. I always appreciate a nice halter top like this, and the slit skirt has a lacy lower half that has an extra feminine flavor. Strappy sandals like this look amazing with so many styles of clothing, don't you think? 

When we enter the event building, there is always a special VIP gift immediately to the right in a large box. This round our Intisl VIP Gift contains the black dress, pink dress, and boots you see here. The black dress and boots each fit Lara X, Legacy, and Reborn sizes, with a Kupra version of the pink dress added to that size set as well. If you've ever taken a photograph and then noticed later that a body part you didn't intend to show off was visible, LOL, then you will understand why I had to add a little white 'modesty flower' to the hem of the black dress. That's a photoshop edit and nothing in SL at all. My pose made the mesh fold in just the right (wrong?) place to emphasize why we need undies with our SL dresses ;) Xan could tell you that when we leave the house, if I'm wearing a skirt of any kind I will stop and do a panty check before teleporting, because we are almost always headed to a general or moderate themed locale.

My final look of the night is a stunning combination of mesh and flexi prims, bringing different eras of SL clothing together wonderfully. The Allure Couture - Nocturna Set Black starts with the mesh corset, collar, gloves, and boots, all in sizing for Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Reborn, Juicy Boobs, and Waifu mesh bodies. Then we add the billowy skirt, which flutters with any movement and has a spooky pattern of crescent moons and skulls that are just right for this season or anytime your mood says so. 

I had a busy couple of days, mostly from the haircut yesterday that turned out well :) I wound up having to wait outside for about 20 minutes for my ride, which I was unprepared for from a sunscreen standpoint. So yep, my ghostly pale skin got a little bit of pink, and I'm having fun dabbing aloe gel on it. No gaming night with friends this evening because they weren't available, but I am pretty sure we will be back on track next Thursday with that :) I can't believe Halloween is almost here, with October being so busy I guess it just flew by like a bat or a witch on a broom. I hope you're all having a pleasant day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Happy Anniversary Kustom9

 Hiya everyone! Tonight it's time to celebrate the 13th anniversary of the Kustom9 Event. We just need to join the KP VIP group (no fee) and we'll be able to click all the pretty gift boxes at most of the displays for lots of generous treats :) It is such a joy to take time to appreciate the longevity of Kustom9, and I wish them and all their designers continued success. We have until the 9th of November, so still plenty of time, to enjoy the event and do some shopping.

My first look is the playful Gaia - gift crop top, which has crossed straps and a splattered pattern of deep red on black. We don't talk about what our avatar got into ;) The gift includes Legacy, Perky, Reborn, and Waifu mesh body sizes, and this is one of several fun tops I am pleased to share tonight.

Our SPIRIT - K9 Exclusive 13th Birthday Gift makes me glad I'm wearing nipple covers, lol, since without them I believe the right one would be partly exposed. I love baseball style or Raglan tops like this, and did you notice the K9 on the back? It honors the event's nickname, but also might make people think you've been out on the streets with a police canine unit ;) That might also explain the splashes on the sleeves...again, that is always left to your imagination. Claim this gift and you'll receive sizing for Legacy, Maitreya, Reborn, and Waifu bodies.

I've got a fondness for all shades of pink and for polka dots, so our littlefox. - Blossom top // special exclusive gift is probably one of my favorites of the entire event. The bare shoulders and long sleeves make for a clever contrast, and the way the torso of the shirt is gathered and wrinkled gives a realistic feeling that I do appreciate. The top comes in Lara X, Petite X, Legacy, Perky, Reborn, and Waifu mesh body sizes. 

Another gift that is simply the tops (yes, I do love weird wordplay) is our Loki - Checkered Shirt - Kustom9 13th Birthday Gift. This flirty treat looks to have a bra layered beneath, if you look along the cleavage you will see some lace and a tiny peep of pink in the very center. The button down shirt looks great in that silver and white pattern, very chic yet casual. There are sizes for Legacy, Perky, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies for us to enjoy. As with all of the look so far, I'm wearing the blue Delizio jeans from their marketplace fatpack, which is linked in my Everyday Basics tab at the top of this page.

For my final look of the evening, I'm out of the jeans and into a pair of gorgeous dresses :) The Bonnie - Sylphi Dress GIFT includes both the black and orange versions you see above, each in Legacy, Reborn, and Waifu sizes, plus a pair of panties in Legacy and Reborn sizing. There is even a HUD for the panties with 15 colors, adding versatility. They are most of a lace patch than a full pair of panties, so they can easily be worn with other items too. I'm happy with the seasonal plaid dress colors here, subtle nods to Halloween without being limited to any particular time of year.

I am running behind because of spending time multitasking, chatting with my mom (among other attendees) about plans for our Thanksgiving gathering. I think it boiled down to her not having any details yet but wanting to talk about it anyway? LOL, I tease but I do adore her and I am happy to help her keep things moving in the right direction. Anything to reduce stress, am I right? Speaking of stress, I won't be blogging tomorrow because I will be getting my hair cut, and I haven't exactly decided what I want done with it. Could be a light trim, could somehow turn out totally different, I simply have no idea :) I hope you're all having a lovely day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Yasum Design Discounts

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we are checking out the new releases section at Yasum Design, where the generous designer is kind enough to pick one color of each design to sell for just 1L. That's an incredible savings, and as a result I have such a range of colors and styles from this fantastic brand :) To find the dollarbies, just look for the heart balloon above the display and then the individual color will be marked with a balloon animal in a pale purple hue. We've got several discounted outfits to check out right now, and I'm showing you a handful here. All of these are provided in sizes for Lara X, Petite X, Legacy, Perky, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. 

For my first look I've chosen the lovely Yasum*Josy-Romper*Moss. It has some terrific details like the row of coins dangling beneath the bust, deep V neckline, and puffy shorts that have gold designs adorning them. We receive a HUD with 7 metals and 7 choices for the coins, as well as an "off" option for those coins. To turn them back on, just pick another metallic shade for them :) The metals other than the coins are the tips of the strings in the front, and the clasp in the back where the shoulder straps meet in the middle.

The flirty Yasum*Pretty-Set*Sky consists of the tank top, short shorts, pendant (hanging on the right hip), and makeup addons that you'll notice on the left side of the shorts. This way we can wear the shorts with or without the pendant or the makeup :) The shirt says "Makeup is my Therapy", and a quick glance at any social media will show that many people feel the same. The pendant is a clip similar to a keychain, with a tiny handbag and a pair of metal dice dangling from it, while the makeup includes a compact, brush, and lipstick tube. The metals HUD lets us change those and the clasps on the front of the shorts to your choice of 5 tones. 

It's very appropriate that the discounted color for the *Yasum*Isha-Set*Sun is the one that is named for exactly what the style makes me think of - sunshine! This is the type of cropped halter top and low slung pants that are a top notch option for exploring a tropical area :) In addition to the deep warm yellow hue, we've got a print of green, orange, and a paler yellow. The pants have a fun inset that swerves from each hip down to the front of the legs, sheer with intricate filigree type scrollwork. There is a HUD for the top that has 20 colors each for 4 sections, which include the strap and decor (shells, chain, etc.) attached to the strings down the back. The details on all of these fashions are consistently incredible!

We've got another delightful dollarbie in moss green, this time the *Yasum*Mio-Set*Moss. Its tiny top is practically the opposite of the generous billowy pants, which somehow makes them work together exceptionally well :) There are tiny metal clasps attaching the straps to the halter top, and we can choose from 6 metals for them with the enclosed HUD. 

My final look of the night is sure to turn heads, particularly when you turn around ;) The *Yasum*Nanu-Set*India consists of the dress in solid and sheer versions as well as the itty bitty panties. Both dresses are slit the entire length of their long skirts, and tie in the back very loosely to barely cover a bit of booty. They are embossed with a pattern that reminds me of damask at first glance, and I love the way the straps are each sliding gently down the shoulders. The bold orange color reminds me of pumpkins, but that could be the influence of the season. 

My day was okay, but I've got a slight headache now that I'll blame on the support group meeting. It was a weird rollercoaster of good and bad, and this mod insists on calling on individual people when they aren't ready to talk. I was one of them, lol, so yep I had to put aside my anxiety (the reason we're all there) to explain why I nodded in agreement with what someone else said. I'm sure my headache will calm down eventually, so no worries :) I do hope you're all having a nice day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

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!!
