Time For the Kiyomizu Hunt

Hiya everyone! One of my favorite free gridwide hunts is the seasonal Kiyomizu Hunt which will have you searching for tiny ninja kitties, and it is a challenging hunt because there are no hints and some of these have been reduced to the size of an avatar fingernail. You will need to be very thorough, I suggest teamwork as well (thanks again as always to Xan for helping me find a few of the tougher ones) and if you are handy with wireframe as Xan is, that can help as well. I love the stores involved in this hunt, as I had discovered the Kiyomizu Mall several years ago for its collection of impressive designers and plenty of lucky boards to make each visit an extra special treat. The mall itself moved a couple of times, and I have happily followed them to be able to appreciate each round including this Winter 2016 hunt. If you haven't had the pleasure yet, you can visit the mall and click one of the ghosts floating above the sidewalks to give you a website that shows your personal list of the kittens you have found and the SLurl's of where you still need to search. These lists cannot be refreshed so you need to click a ghost for a new one each time for an update.


I could really use this lovely coat in RL right now :) It is our prize from M*Motion called KYMZ Trench Coat and includes several fitmesh sizes: standard, Belleza, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique. I really enjoy accents of animal print, it can add a touch of variety and boldness to a traditional style of clothing.


This hunt prize is from *Le muguet* and is called Knit & W Skirt, consisting of a single mesh size (most likely fitted) and coordinating alpha layer. The included size fit very well on my Slink Physique body with the use of their alpha HUD (all my fellow Slink body wearers, you got your updated version with that terrific new HUD and alpha cuts, right?) and I am a fan of the soft knit textures and the small extra layer of skirt with contrasting neutral pattern. 


Another wonderful single piece sweater/skirt set can be found in the ninja cat at **milky-way. It is called 16-17 Sweater and Mini Skirt Kiyomizu Hunt so it sounds like this particular design is just for the hunters, and I was so pleased to see that fun Nordic print on the sweater. 


One last look for the evening, if you find the hidden kitty at [satus Inc] you can claim this lovely Isla Cutout Flare Dress. There are 8 fitmesh sizes provided, including Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink versions. Isn't that subtle geometric pattern pretty? The pink is a very flattering color as well, so this should be very easy to accessorize and show off your own style with this as a basis.

It has been a busy day and tomorrow will be unexpectedly busy for me also, so I will take this opportunity to wish all of you a very Happy New Year filled with love, hope, peace, and dreams coming true. I know this was a rough year for many of us, but I still try to look on the positive side that it is a new year so a fresh start. Magical magpie hugs to each of you!!

Holidays at Designer Circle

Hiya everyone! Tonight's post is a time sensitive one, as the latest round of the Designer Circle is ending in about a week and you do not want to miss the chance to pick up not only some great bargains but some generous gifts as well. This is their 145th round, so it is an event with longevity and I would say it is because they have really talented designers who consistently offer quality merchandise. The gifts I found are themed for the recent holidays, but as far as I'm concerned we are still in the season and they are still quite suitable.


Hello, sexy! This is our gift from *TentatioN* and based on the name it seems to be specifically created as a very special gift for the Designer Circle visitors. I love the soft shades of blue, the pretty drape in the back, and that alluring teardrop shaped cutout at the belly. Such a beauty! 8 fitmesh sizes including Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink for a terrific fit.


More lovely blue, this time in the form of a festive gift from Cremosas Store called Dress Blue - Merry Christmas. The dress itself is provided in several fitmesh sizes including Belleza, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique, along with a HUD to change between the two designs you see above, with the snowman or without but with an extra layer of flakes up top. The antlers, nose, and necklace are all included as well, with resize scripts built in. I can definitely see wearing this past Christmas, just leave the antlers and nose off and you have a sexy winter party look.


How about something red hot to get the blood racing? This is the stunning My Red Dress from Awear, a short strapless with a wonderful glittery texture and sexy lacing in the back. Pick up the gift and you will find standard sizes plus Freya, Isis, Venus, and Physique versions inside.


This adorable set of sweaters is courtesy of Sn@tch, their Clara Animated Xmas Sweater. It includes red and white versions as you can see, and the animation is that some of the stars change colors (some of the red ones on the red sweater go yellow, on the white it is the silvers becoming pink) for a playful effect. I love the cowl neck style, and the length is perfect...not too long, not too short for the winter. Each color comes in standard sizes along with Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink fits. I think she looks like Clarisse (clarice?) from the Rudolph tv specials, Rudolph's girlfriend if I recall. It's been too long, should have watched it this year.


It is never too late to celebrate a holiday with someone special, and technically Christmas is over but I promise your special guy or gal will not complain about the date if you wear this :) It is the gift from Shea Designs, their Christmas Lingerie with Appliers in Red. The system layers are included, and the appliers are TMP and a HUD for Maitreya, Omega, Slink, and Belleza. There are a few other lingerie type gifts, so if that is on your wishlist I do suggest a visit.

Hectic day as usual for my Fridays, running late, will just wrap this up with a wish for a beautiful weekend and many magical magpie hugs to each of you!!

Peace On Earth and On My Nails

Hiya everyone! Tonight I am focusing on the wonderful manicure/pedicure sets I found along the Peace On Earth 9 Hunt path, along with a beautiful gown. There are just two days remaining in the hunt, so this is my last post on it for the round and I hope it has inspired you to enjoy the hunt as well. Maybe you finished it but didn't unpack everything, well this can help you decide what to unpack next :) 


This is the amazing gift from Sascha's Designs, their Aurianna Aqua Gown. It comes in standard mesh sizes and includes two parts of flexi skirt (left and right legs) and the flexi train that you can see a hint of above. I was impressed by the perfect color match of another POE hunt prize for accessorizing this beauty, which is the jewelry set from Beloved Jewelry called Noelia. It includes earrings, necklaces with or without resize scripts inside, and rings for the right hand with or without the resize scripts. The lovely teal gemstones are surrounded by delicate silver in a floral type pattern, and will make a nice match for plenty of your favorite clothing.


I did promise some nails, so let's start with this set from LUNA Body Art. It is their POE9 Hunt SLink Nails HUD, and features 10 different designs which you can see here...5 with silver, 5 with gold, each either solid or with a nice wide stripe of glitter across a few different colors. Seasonal, but not limited to this time of year.


Another must-find globe for my fellow nail enthusiasts is hidden at TASHI and holds their Shades of Winter set. It provides HUDs for Belleza, Maitreya, Omega, and Slink, and has 8 awesome solid colors for a great palette. If it's too hard to pick a single favorite, you can always scatter a few different colors on individual nails or maybe choose a contrasting accent nail.


La Boheme also has some terrific mani/pedi HUDs hidden in their globe, two different seasonal styles. On the left (actually my right hand, but left side of the photo) is LB Noel, and on the right LB Rudolph. There are Maitreya Mani, Slink/Omega Mani, and Slink/Omega pedi HUDs included for each style. On each HUD you will find the design on 10 different base tones, for example I think the base of the Rudolph on my middle finger goes well with my skin tone but you can choose to contrast it a bit too if you prefer.


One last glimpse of the evening, these are our gift from ICONIC DESIGNS and are simply named Christmas Time. The Maitreya and Omega/Slink HUDs each offer 5 designs, in festive red and green with the words Merry Christmas daintily on a couple of the styles. They are really detailed, with plenty of swirls and bows and decorations to choose from.

I am preparing for another busy weekend, not really because of the holiday but just because most of my plans tend to fall on Fridays and Saturdays. This year cannot end soon enough, so we can get a new and more positive one started!! I hope you're all having a beautiful day/evening, magical magpie hugs to each of you :)

Searching For Peace On Earth

Hiya everyone! It is time once again for a few more Peace On Earth 9 Hunt prizes so you can see a sampling of what is hidden in those dozens and dozens of globes. I know there are only a few days left, but that is still enough time to visit your favorite stores or new names that catch your eye :) All SLurls can be found on their blog along with most of the hints.


The hidden globe at Always Design holds this stunning Poe9 Together Women gown with accessories. The gown itself comes in plenty of fitmesh sizes (standard, Belleza, Maitreya, Slink) and the earrings, necklace, and bracelets you see here are included, that is 4 separate bracelets on my right wrist so you can customize by choosing which to wear. There are matching shoes included, hiding beneath this floaty skirt, and the evening wrap comes in the same sizes as the dress. Not shown, 3 different colors of flexi skirts to go over the mesh one, for even more fullness. The best part of this, what makes it so versatile, is the HUD with 4 color choices for the dress and wrap! You can wear this all in red, white, black, or the royal blue as shown here.


Another dressy look can be found in the prize from Dulce Secrets, their Yukimi gown. This beauty comes in standard mesh sizes and consists of the gown, scarf, cuffs, and trim (a tiny ruffle where the solid color meets the pattern of the skirt) each in those same 5 sizes. Scarves can be so elegant and you don't need to worry about a necklace, just find a great pair of shoes and maybe some earrings and you are all set to celebrate the new year.


Perhaps you need a bit more color in your life, well how about this eye-popper from Cream Spaghetti Hair? I love this PP Knit Dress Neon Pack for the sleek style as well as those vivid colors, courtesy of a HUD that provides all 3 colors. The dress itself is provided in several sizes including standard, Maitreya, Slink Hourglass, and Slink Physique. 


While it is a few days past Christmas, I still feel like the holiday spirit is needed and appreciated so I enjoyed modeling this gift from Lemonade Couture. This is their Deck The Halls Dress and comes in many fitmesh sizes: standard, Belleza, Maitreya, Slink, Slink Hourglass, and TMP. My beautiful jewelry is from #2 of the 3 hidden globes at Shoenique Designs and J&W Jewelers, their Empress Collection. In this photo as in the globe, you can find the bracelet, necklace in two parts, and earrings (ear plumes). I think the necklace reminds me of cobwebs because of the delicate draping, and I have always felt that webs are a fascinating creation by nature so that is not an insult by any means. The rubies worked very well with the red hues in the dress.


One last look for the evening, this is our prize from Dusti's Odds & Ends and is called Holiday Gown in Silver. Such a flattering design, it is included in many sizes to accommodate nearly any body: 5 standard, 1 fitted, Belleza Freya, Belleza Isis, Belleza Venus, Maitreya, Slink Hourglass, Slink Physique, and TMP. I love the idea of the modest neckline contrasted with the peekaboo back.

Whew, what a day it has been, what a week...what a year...I have no words for the sorrow I feel for the family of Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds in their time of grief, and I can only hope that 2017 will be much kinder to all of us. Magical magpie hugs to all of you!!

Peace On Earth Hunt Prizes

Hiya everyone! Tonight is another opportunity to see some of the many terrific prizes to be found in hidden globes across the grid from the Peace On Earth 9 Hunt. I am still startled by yesterday's realization that I was looking at least year's poster on their site and therefore mistaken on the ending date of the hunt...I was seeing a date in January but 2016, this round ends the end of December instead. That means you have just a few days so I hope you've started this hunt already if you're interested :) I hope these glimpses of the many generous prizes help inspire you.


This elegant dress with its full skirt is our prize from Glitterati and is simply named POE Hunt 9 Gift so I believe it is exclusively for the people who find that hidden globe. It is provided in standard mesh sizes, and includes a matching large floppy hat, not shown here. I was quite taken with the classic floral pattern.


 If you find the globe hidden in B&T Atelier, you can claim this beautiful mesh skirt set for your very own. The dandelion top features peplum and that amazing open back, and the pencil skirt matches perfectly. Each piece is included in standard sizes along with Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink versions.


I feel like this adorable dress from YoKana is the type of style that if you wear it at Christmas time, people will immediately recognize it as a seasonal choice, but other times of the year it would not look out of place either. Their prize for us is this Noel Red Fitted Mesh dress, and a single size plus coordinating alpha layer is in the globe. I decided to dress it up with one of the many stunning jewelry prizes to be found, this time from IMaGE Factory and their Snowflake in a Bottle Necklace. It has a great burnished gold texture, and the bottled flake is accompanied by a cute bell that makes me think of either a kitty or a sleigh. You can also see a closer look at one of the 4 pairs of eyes included in the gift from Inkheart, their stunning Merry Eyes in Gold. I am wearing the medium of their 4 sizes, in system and mesh with appliers for Genesis and Omega, and the other colors in their prize are Chocolat, Emerald, and Teal. Something for everyone!


While there are many dressy style gifts in this hunt, there are wonderful casual looks as well, such as this Winter Blues Ladies' Sweater Set from Robbie Roo's Whatchamagoos (which explains the RRW logo on the jeans pocket) which is one of 3 prizes found in the same globe there. There is a mens' sweater set, and a box of winter accessories, while here you see our off shoulder sweater and mesh jeans. They are each included in standard mesh sizes, Belleza, Maitreya, Slink Hourglass, and Slink Physique.


One last look of the evening, this is the POE Chiffon Dress from Chateau Couture. In the globe, you will find standard mesh sizes along with a HUD featuring 4 color choices for this fun fluttery style. It does remind me of fairies, so you could accessorize with wings if you have a favorite pair, or simply a sparkly jewelry set and some heels.

My skin tonight is the Advent gift from 7 Deadly s{K}ins for the 27th, if you read this and it is no longer the 27th in SL it will be available for purchase from the advent tree for a considerable discount over the full price. It's called AMARA in apricot (pineapple tone also included) and I chose the red brows from their 4 brow options. There are several appliers in there, I used the Omega full body one for my Maitreya, and Slink hands/feet. I suspect I'll have a mesh head one of these days, but for now I do not quite yet. I really like the soft pink lips on this skin.

We are sadly mourning another celebrity loss today, this year is just horrible for taking so many beloved entertainers from us. Hopefully the new year will be a more peaceful one! Magical magpie hugs to everyone!!!

Boxing Day Peace on Earth

Hiya everyone! Tonight I have a few more treats to share from the Peace On Earth 9 Hunt, a free gridwide event I look forward to each year. This hunt runs until the end of the month, so you will want to hurry to find the hidden globes at 136 stores (minus a few skips) or at least to pick and choose your favorite locations to visit. I'm excited to show you some today, and I have enough for a few more posts as well since there are dozens of delights to see.


This stunning sheath dress is our prize from Masoom, their Hanna Dress POE 9 Gift. It is included in sizes for Freya, Isis, Hourglass, Maitreya, and TMP bodies, and just look at that striking pattern that appears on both front and back. The deep royal blue color is sure to be flattering on any skin tone and for any hair color, and you could pair these with just about any shoes or jewelry in your inventory.


If you want to look casual, yet still very pulled together, I urge you to find the two hidden globes at ALTER because when you combine their gifts for us, you get an amazing complete outfit! One contains the top you see here, their Mely Shoulder Pullover in Black, in 6 fitmesh sizes including Maitreya and Belleza. The other globe holds their Sia Pants & Laced High Boots in Gold, that is a solid mesh piece in sizes for Belleza Freya, Belleza Isis, Belleza Venus, Maitreya, Slink Hourglass, and Slink Physique. You can wear these together for an amazing look, or mix things up by pairing the sweater with your favorite jeans or skirt perhaps, and the pants/boots combo would look great with anything from a tank top to a leather jacket. Those are some serious boots, ladies and gents!!


Here I have combined two fun gifts for another casual look that would be well suited to my favorite SL hobby of gridwide hunting...the sweatshirt is our prize from MOoH! called the Katia Hoodie, and comes in standard mesh sizes. I particularly like the flannel layer built in beneath and the word LOVE on the back to match the heart on the front. My jeans here are from <P3> and are named Noel Jeans - Peace Is Golden. They are included in standard sizes along with Freya, Isis, Venus, Hourglass, Physique, Maitreya, and TMP versions. They have a very subtle snowflake texture that is enhanced by the gold color.


One last look for the night, this is our prize from Emerald Couture and is simply called EC POE 9 For Her. There is also a "for him" gift in that globe, so be sure to bring a male avatar friend if you wish :) The comfy sweater comes in standard mesh sizes plus Belleza Freya, Belleza Isis, Belleza Venus, Maitreya, Slink Hourglass, Slink Physique, and TMP versions, while the jeans are included in 2 sets of standard sizes, one of which are High so you get a bit of variety there.

Life is still fairly chaotic here, but I am still sending fond wishes to all of you who celebrate any of the holidays currently upon us :) My family Christmas celebration was a good one, a bit tiring and they can be emotionally draining but still something I treasure greatly. Be sure to hug someone today, because tomorrow is not promised to us and we should never pass up an opportunity to show someone we care. (I think you can tell that I could use a hug!) If you don't celebrate any holidays this time of year, please do not feel left out by my posts, I value every single reader and wish only good things for all of you. Magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Christmas Eve at The Wash and Peace On Earth

Hiya everyone! Things got unexpectedly busier here so this blog post is a day later than I expected, the holidays sure can be time-consuming. This post features a couple more terrific bargains from The Wash Cart Sale, which has over a week remaining so there is no pressure to hurry and it is a great place to pick up last-minute gifts since some items are transferable. The hunt gifts you will see here are from the Peace On Earth 9 Hunt, a free gridwide hunt tradition that I am very fond of. The focus generally is winter but the theme is not a strict one, so you can find plenty of things to suit any need or mood. As you will see, I was feeling dressy when choosing what to share :)


From the Wash Cart Sale, I am wearing the stunning K&A Design Side Cut Gown in blue, with sexy straps adorned with zippers on one side. This gown comes in plenty of sizes for nearly every shape and body: 5 standard, 5 fitmesh, Belleza Freya, Belleza Isis, Belleza Venus, eBODY, Maitreya, Slink Hourglass, Slink Physique, Tonic Curvy, Tonic Fine, and TMP. There are 2 carts right next to each other with K&A Design bargains, all just $10L each, so be sure to visit from the direct link in my credits. You can also see their full selection at their mainstore here. My gorgeous new wall hangings are from Dark Knight Decor, on the left is their Asian Winter Hanging Scroll and the Joy Hanging Scroll is on the right. Each are just $10L on their cart, and have a land impact of only 2 so you it is easy on your prim allowance budget as well as your lindens budget. You can find their marketplace store by clicking here, and as always I have the cart's direct link in the credits at the end.


Along the hunt path, I found this lovely Off Shoulder Knitted Dress in Patterned tucked inside the globe at OMG! Inc. This single mesh piece with the look of two comes in standard sizes and includes a HUD with 7 texture options so you can pick the look you like best. I enjoy this cozy look and feel like it will work well throughout the winter into the spring and maybe beyond.


If Marilyn Monroe wanted to feel pretty in pink, I think she could do so very well in this beautiful gift from Ghee's globe! This is their Peace On Earth Gown and comes in standard mesh sizes, with a soft pastel color and irresistible satin texture.


One more look from the hunt, this is the DANIELLE POE 9 Skirt and Turtleneck. The skirt is in 5 fitmesh sizes, and the turtleneck comes in system layers along with appliers for Belleza, Lolas, Maitreya, Omega, and Slink. The cuffs and turtleneck are separate attachments that you can adjust as needed. I love the twin corset lacings down the front of the skirt, and the dark snowflakes scattered about.

Nail note of the night: I am enjoying the POE 9 prize from LUNA Body Art, a HUD for Slink nails with 10 designs (5 each of silver and gold, solids or stripes) which I will be showing a closer look in a future post so please stay tuned. Also my skin is an Advent calendar gift, you will need to hurry to claim it since Advent is almost over :) It is gift #22 from the KittyCatS! calendar, from WoW Skins called Persia 2016 Tan. I particularly enjoy the subtle brows and the pink lips.

No post tomorrow since I'll be spending most of the day with family, and probably catching up on sleep eventually ;) Please allow me to take this time to wish all of you a very Merry Christmas if you celebrate it, and a joyful Winter Solstice, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, whatever you celebrate. If you don't celebrate any holidays, I wish you a beautiful weekend :) Magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Wash Cart Sale and Hunting for Nails

Hiya everyone! Tonight I have some more wonderful bargains from The Wash Cart Sale to show you, remember this event lasts until the 4th of January and there are selected items available as transferable so they make great gifts. It's never too late to do Christmas shopping in SL, or just pick up an inexpensive little "thinking of you" surprise for your favorite guy or gal. Also I am a huge fan of lovely manicures, so I visited Hello Dave for their store hunt which takes place on the ground level of the sim the store is located on. This morning the store was unavailable and the fixed landing point was on the ground, but the hunt was accessible so just in case you cannot get to the store and get that notecard (there were several sandwich board style signs around to click for information) your first hint is to find the church and the first bauble will be found there. This hunt involves following clues and finding glass baubles like you would find on a Christmas tree, these are clear glass with a snowy scene painted or etched onto them. Very pretty, but they can be tricky to find in the beautifully landscaped sim you are exploring. Each one you find gives you the hint to the next in local chat, for a total of 12 festive nail HUDs for Slink and Omega. 


I am certainly looking elegant in this striking dress from Entice found on their cart at the Wash. This is Addicted to Love - Reds and for just $10L you will receive the mesh gown in standard sizes with a HUD for 3 texture options as you see above. Also included are the hair accessory I am showing in the middle, and the fur coat in three colors (red plus the white and black you see here) which consist of the chest piece and each arm attachment for flexibility. The versatility of this look is so impressive, and is one of several bargains at their cart whose link is in my credits below, or you can visit their mainstore here to see what else catches your eye. 


I slipped into my favorite Marketplace freebie jeans from Delizio for this shot, so I could show you a really fun sweater from Pretty Kitty Designs at the cart sale. This is All We Need Is Love in Slink, and is from their ARCTIC line of clothing which features the ability to slowly rotate through colors randomly. You can see that the heart design on the sweater has changed for the inset, you just wear the transmitter HUD and the clothing will go through the colors or you can choose your favorite to stay steady, there were about 20 options. I love the style of the sleeves which are hooked over the thumbs, I have been seeing that in RL clothing more and more and it is a clever idea along with being so cute! The Slink size of this sweater included the Physique and Hourglass, there are also Belleza, Maitreya, TMP, and Tonic you can choose from as well as several other designs at the cart from the link in the credits. To see their full line and learn more about ARCTIC clothing, please visit their mainstore here. Of course I am sure you noticed that lovely rug and table I am kneeling behind, that is one of many bargains on the An Lema cart and yes, that is one easy piece (rug, table, everything on the table including the mini tree) with a land impact of just 4. There are many other terrific choices on their cart for just $10L each, and I also recommend visiting their main store for a full selection plus they are participating in several hunts right now including Peace On Earth :) 


Time for some nails...I did greatly enjoy my visit to Hello Dave's sim of Moochie with my helpful partner Xan (who even tolerated me trying to steer a sled, I am so bad at driving any vehicle in SL!!) and these amazing nails are one of the 12 prizes you can find in those hidden baubles. These are called Snow Beautiful and have 5 bright blue and white designs to choose from or to mix and match however you wish. 


If you are in more of a red mood, be sure to find the bauble that holds this Mistletoe Kiss HUD and you can sprinkle your nails with your choice/s of 5 designs as shown here. The snowy ones make a great accent nail, or you can make the solid red shades an accent nail instead.


This terrific set is appropriately named Best Baubles, so much fun and a clever design to hide inside a hunt bauble. There are five different ornaments hanging from golden strands and tied with pretty bows, mix up all the colors or choose your favorite for your holiday outfit of the moment.

In case you didn't hear, there is a fantastic update to the HUD for all Slink bodies and heads, so if you have a Slink body please head to their store and use the redelivery terminal to get your version 3.0 body with improved HUD. The alpha cuts are updated with more choices and some groupings too, similar to other HUDs I've seen out there. 

Today was just chaos here, and the holidays are approaching so quickly that I believe my blogging time will be very limited for the next few days. Tomorrow I will spend a lot of time cooking, Saturday will be spent with family members, and Sunday with my parents and grandmother who is freshly out of the hospital. I saw her earlier and she is still feeling ill, so all I can do is hope for the very best for her. I will probably do smaller blog posts if any for a few days, but you know I won't be gone long :) Have a beautiful day/evening, magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
