SLF&O Group Gifties

Hiya everyone! I have a few gifts from the SLF&O group for you tonight. I've blogged about that group before, it's free to join and features information on sales from a huge number of designers throughout the grid, and many of those designers offer free gifts to the members of the SLF&O group. The most recent notecard (sent out in notices periodically) of group gifts is from January 13th and I've got a few of the newest goodies to show you tonight.

First we have a gift from AnaSTyle, a complete outfit called May Red. This generously includes the leather skirt and foulard (scarf) each in 5 sizes, and the top in 5 classic & 5 fitmesh sizes plus Belleza, Maitreya and Slink versions. Also included are the sunglasses and the shoes in Slink, TMP, and Maitreya versions. This really is everything you need for a fun night out!

Next we have this beautiful dress from Kelini, their Leaf of Spring Dress in black and blue. It is provided in several mesh sizes, and I adore the artful pleats and folds that make this resemble beautiful wearable origami.

If you want something dazzling, head over to PaperMoon for their very pretty SLF&O gift. This dress reminds me of the early moments of a sunset, and the dress and collar are separate mesh parts (standard sizes each) so you can decide if you wish to wear it with or without the collar. I enjoy this flowy style too.

Finally we have a stunning retro gown from AnaMarkova. They are offering us their Monroe Dress in Polka Dot, a lovely lipstick red with white dots. This style is so flattering, and it makes me want to go dancing!

No nail note of the night, I went with the Slink default HUD and chose a simple French mani/pedi. I had another busy but enjoyable day, and I hope you are all having a fun weekend as well. Magical magpie hugs to each of you!!

Friday Night Luck and Love

Hiya everyone! I am definitely slow tonight after a really enjoyable birthday celebration with the family :) We had Thai food, always wonderful, and a delicious cake so I am stuffed to the gills. Earlier I picked up some lucky board prizes at Karla Boutique and can't wait to show you what I've won, and there are plenty more I haven't even won yet. When you land, look to the right and you'll see large LUCKY light-up signs, so you know right where to head.

This is the lovely China Gold mesh dress in standard sizes, a daring slip dress with a beautiful print and intriguing high-low hemline. This exact style is on the board in several different patterns in fact, as you will see it again later in this very post.

Here we have the Kora skirt and top, separate pieces in several sizes that include a HUD with 6 color choices. They have a terrific texture to them, like a suede or brushed silk, and a simple elegant silhouette.

For something a bit more casual, how about this lovely set? This is the Green Eye bandana top and cropped pants, a sassy style that peeks at you from the top and from behind. Each comes in several mesh sizes, so you can pick your best fit for top and bottom. I think I'll be wearing this a lot in the spring, or when I feel the need to pretend it's spring :)

Our last look of the night is the same style as the first dress, in a very different texture. This is the Swing Dress which looks to have swirly stripes from the front, but from the rear you can see there are actually bulls-eyes on it. The fabric itself looks to have a linen texture, a wide soft weave of some type. Pretty and unique!

Nail note of the night: same as yesterday, I went with the very pretty La Boheme nails from their bi-monthly sale display, LB Persephone Silver. 10 colors with silver tips, $10L for the OMNI pack that includes Slink and Maitreya HUDs, a bargain I simply could not pass up.

Have an amazing day/night/weekend, magical magpie hugs to all of you!

Great Group Gifts Galore

Hiya everyone! I do enjoy alliteration, so please forgive my silly post title :) I realized it had been a while since I picked up any SLF&O Group gifts to share (that's SL Frees & Offers) and when I arrived at one of the places on the notecard from about 3 weeks ago, I immediately realized that with 8 gifts, Karla Boutique would wind up being my entire post tonight. Since they have a ton of lucky boards, that might be the next post ;) For now though, let's see what they're generously giving the SLF&O group members.

First, we have the sexy Kaylyn Multi mini dress, which comes in standard sizes and includes a HUD with 6 texture choices. Many are black and white designs, but I leaned towards these two so they'd match the shoes I'm showing. They are another SLF&O gift from Karla Boutique, the Wintey sandals for Slink high, in a lovely winter white shade.

Galaxy Multi dress is out of this world! Oh dear, now I'm being punny...there's no denying that this dress has a flirty style, and you get a HUD with 6 color choices as well. Versatility is a wonderful feature for sure.

This outfit is called Temptation and there is no need to resist this gift. You will receive the fitmesh jeans in standard sizes plus Belleza and Maitreya sizes, along with two different shirts...the one on the left is in system layers with appliers for Maitreya and Belleza, and on the right is the mesh version in 5 fitmesh sizes and Belleza and Maitreya versions. Both shirts say "I can resist everything except temptation".

Our last look of the night is a cozy look that can go from daytime into evening easily. Viola Multi dress has a built in jacket, and comes with a color change HUD with 6 choices for the dress itself. 

Nail note of the night: on a whim, I headed to La Boheme to see what was new and wound up picking up a mani/pedi from the bi-monthly sale board near the front door. For just $10L I got the [LB Persephone Silver] set of 10 colors with silver tips, in HUDs for Slink mani, Slink Pedi, and Maitreya. The gold version is on the sale board as well, along with a few other gorgeous choices. I expect they'll change the sale items in a few days so don't hesitate :)

My weekend houseguest will be arriving very soon, so a few posts will be either smaller or later than usual, maybe even both LOL, but I'll try my best. I hope you all have a beautiful weekend, magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Midweek Luck and Manias

Hiya everyone! Right now I am between free gridwide hunts to share, so I decided to share some more lucky board wins and Midnight Mania prizes from Nala Design. You need a group tag to click all of those boards, lucky and MM, but the group is free to join and offers a lot of great rewards, as you can see. The prizes are generally full outfits with shoes and sometimes jewelry, which can make getting dressed so much easier. Let's take a look, shall we?

Our first look is just so charming, a fantastic look for browsing stores across the grid. It's called Cleo Shopping Day, and that's exactly what it puts me in mind of with the cute purse and smart glasses. Not only are those included, but the Mary Jane style shoes for Slink high are as well. The coat dress comes in standard mesh sizes, and that ribboned belt with the sweet bow is a great touch. This is one of the 3 prizes currently on the Midnight Mania boards at Nala Design, free group tag needed.

This outfit is great for days I want to look put together, but just casual enough to be versatile. I prefer not to do my gridwide hunting or 7 Seas fishing in a ball gown ;) So an ensemble like ND Helena Gold above is perfect for making one of my average SL days feel chic. If you are one of the Midnight Mania clickers before this locks down, you will receive the lovely peplum top and neutral capris each in standard mesh sizing, along with the gold Slink high shoes.

Another generous Midnight Mania prize can be seen above, this being the Alejandra Black outfit. It starts with the alluring silhouette of the dress, with its delicately flared sleeves, in 5 mesh sizes. It continues with the included shoes for Slink high, two different bracelets for the right wrist (both shown), and even a pretty matching ring for the right hand. Be sure to click this board before midnight and tell your friends!

How about a couple of Lucky Board prizes? This is ND Silvia White Flower, a modern take on a hippie style outfit from their group-only lucky boards. It includes the sassy dress in standard sizes, and matching boots in 3 sizes that worked with my Slink high feet but will work fine without any special feet as well. Also we receive some playful cat eye sunglasses, earrings, necklace, the bracelet for our right wrist, and ring for our left hand that covers 4 knuckles. Wear it all, wear just your favorite parts, have fun with this one as I surely will.

One last look for the night, this is also a lucky board prize (free group tag needed) called ND Miss Dalia and I think of as delicately sexy. The cardigan and mini skirt each come in 5 mesh sizes, and also included you will find the shoes for Slink high, a great set of bangles for the right wrist, and matching heart earrings, necklace, and ring for the right hand. I'm sure you have noticed by now that I love the inclusion of all this fun jewelry :) All you have to do is join the free group and wait for your initial to show up, it's that simple.

No nail note of the night as I have gone with the default Slink HUD for simplicity. I do have a hair note tonight though, as I saw the gallery for the Seasons Story and fell for this adorable updo by MINA hair. The name is Louisa, I went with the light reds but there are several other color sets (5 shades per set I believe) and I am very pleased with my purchase. I'm rationalizing it as an early RL birthday present to myself ;) I will have a houseguest arriving tomorrow and staying the weekend, so my blog posts might be smaller but I will try to post something each day. Magical magpie hugs to each of you!!

Tuesday Hunt Prizes are The Tops

Hiya everyone! The prizes I am showing tonight from the Hunt For Your Inner Slut hunt aren't just the tops as in top quality, but they are literally tops as in tee shirts and blouses. Well I am also showing a pair of jeans from one of the prizes, no Donald Ducking tonight ;) I hope you enjoy my final post from this particular hunt.


First we have those jeans I mentioned, which are the bottom half of the prize from Renee India #011 and come in a slew of sizes including 5 fitmesh, 5 standard, Belleza, Maitreya, Slink Hourglass and Slink Physique. The prize also includes a very sheer bra top (system layer & Omega HUD) not shown. As for the top I am wearing, this is prize #042 from Simple and is called Hiking Top. It says "over the mountains and through the woods" and comes in a single fitmesh size. Love the wild shredded back, makes me wonder what we encountered in the mountains or woods.


Our next tops are these delightful layered tank tops from #028 The Dark Collection. The black top on the left has Marvin the robot sleeping on a gravestone and there are skulls on the lower layer tank. On the right, you can see the blue tank with the number 42 emblazoned on it. I've always enjoyed the layered look, so I appreciate these very much.


These two shirts, while quite different from each other, are both prizes from #040 SilverMoon. On the left we have the Dont Panic Off Shoulder Shirt, in standard sizes and nice and long. I recommend system layer/applier pants as this didn't want to play nicely with the mesh jeans. The top on the right is their Slut 42 shirt, and the back has the same number and name just larger. I love the tie at the waist! This is a system layer with an Omega applier, and even comes with a pair of sheer red lace panties (system and Omega) not shown. SilverMoon is certainly generous to us :)


Here we have prize #036 from *villa baci* called the lu-Sylvie blouse. Find the golden cock and you'll receive this in standard mesh sizes, so you too can enjoy the fun ruffled high-low hemline. 


Time for more system layer tops with appliers :) This is two of the 4 shirts in our gift from #046 Shameless, the men receive a mesh shirt in standard sizes with a HUD for all 4 designs. The ladies will find an Omega applier along with system layer shirts that say Don't Panic, Carry a Towel, Mostly Harmless (above left) and Freeze (above right) which actually says "Freeze? I'm a robot, not a refrigerator." So cute!


One last look of the night, MoonliteCat Creations (#031) has provided us with male and female versions of their Reckoned With shirt. The female version says, "Any woman who can hitch the length and breadth of the galaxy, rough it, slum it, struggle against terrible odds, win through and still knows where her towel is, is a woman to be reckoned with." The back says Woman to be reckoned with. I am really enjoying the design of this, too, along with the clever message.

Wow, it has been another one of those days where I feel like I blink and an hour has flown by...I was distracted by chatting with my RL bestie of 20+ years who is caring for a former stray (she took in 4 strays a couple years ago) after surgery to remove a mass from its nose. Just one of the many reasons I adore her, she is kind to animals as well as humans. Hope you're all having a great day, magical magpie hugs to each of you!!

Snowy Monday Hunt Prizes

Hiya everyone! I am still in my winter wonderland, about 2 feet of snow, so I'm considering relaxing on an SL beach later to get in a warmer mindset :) First though I of course have some hunt goodies to show you, from the Hunt For Your Inner Slut, their round 13 whose theme is Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy. There are plenty of male prizes in this hunt too, it's definitely not just for the ladies. Let's see what I have to show you tonight...


First up, I am wearing the Don't Panic Costume from #029 Fabulash. Xan let me know (thanks again as always, Xan!!) that this is a Trillian costume from aboard a ship, and was played by Zooey Deschanel. It includes the mesh shirt and shorts each in standard sizes plus several mesh body versions, the glasses I'm wearing, socks (system layer and Omega HUD), and boots for standard avatar feet. The male prize by the way is a towel for a very *ahem* specific part of his body. 'Nuff said? My friend in the right panel is prize #024 from Deceitful Innocence, their Marvin the Paranoid Robot who chatters in local chat when clicked. He's not the most cheery companion, but I've had worse ;) Plus he's so cute!


Fi's Creations is #038 in our hunt path, and their prize is the delightful Hitchhiker's Pyj which comes in standard sizes and works best with default avatar feet. I love footie pajamas, and hearts, so big thumbs up from me. And how cute are those patches on the butt? I need that heart eyes emoji in here!


#049 in the hunt is American Hunni, and they have provided a very generous complete outfit for our prize. This is Galaxy Hiker, and includes the outfit (single mesh piece for top and pants) in standard fitmesh sizes plus Belleza, Maitreya, and slink versions. Also included you will find the pearl clutch shown, the matching Slink high peep toes, and even an Omega HUD with 5 nail choices! I am wearing the one that reminded me most of the pattern on the pants, but the options are all so pretty that I expect to get a great deal of use from the nail HUD with other outfits as well.


My last look of the night is a sexy little number, prize #008 by OMG! Inc. It's called Slither Snakeskin Dress and comes with a HUD featuring 8 texture choices, 3 of which are shown above. There are plenty of colors to suit any mood, and while I usually gravitate towards purple I am thinking that gold looks really sharp too :) There was a great silvery shade as well...who am I kidding, they're all wonderful options.

No nail note of the night, as you already know what I used in photo #3 since it was part of the prize, and the other pics I am sporting the Slink default HUD again :) It makes my life so much easier some days.

I hope you are all having a good start to your week, and staying safe and warm (or cool, depends where you are...) as I am trying to do. Magical magpie hugs to each of you!!

Hunters Guide to the SL Galaxy

Hiya everyone! I have some more Hunt For Your Inner Slut prizes to share tonight, and the title of the post is because of this round's theme, Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy :) This hunt is interesting for me because it brings me a step or two outside my usual comfort zone, but I believe you can't grow without exploring boundaries. Here's to growth, and fun prizes!

First we have a cute and casual look from Daisy's Creations, #034 in the hunt. It includes a hitchhiker polo shirt in standard mesh sizes, a pair of shorts in a system layer plus HUD with Slink, Maitreya, and Omega appliers, and a pair of high tops with built-in socks for default feet. 

This one gave me quite a chuckle...have a glance at the Galaxia Dress from **DSO** who are #037 in the hunt, standard mesh sizes of dress with matching boots in 5 sizes plus unrigged. That logo on the front says HYIS13 on it, and the image above it? There's a better look on the back, and why yes that IS the hunt object ;) I love the shiny contrasting boots by the way, they look metallic or latex to me.

Lindy's is #039 in the hunt path, and their gift for us is their Alien Outfit with plenty of mesh-friendly components. You will receive the top in 6 colors (pink, blue, white shown L-R above, plus black, purple, and red) in a system layer and Omega applier for each color. Also included, the pants in system and Omega applier, and the belt which has a resize script built in. The mesh panels are see-through, so you could choose to wear nude pasties beneath the top.

My final look for the night is from Coull's Creations, #047 in the hunt, who went off-theme with a Valentine Dress which is sweet and playful. The design on the apron looks like an old fashioned valentine you'd hand out at school, and says "Hi, Sugar! Let's Be Valentines" in the hearts above and below the cute baker. I of course adore the bows in the front and back, and the frilly skirt is quite short but that adds to the fun :)

No nail note of the night, stuck with the Slink default HUD and a nice neutral French mani/pedi that matches my skin tone pretty well. Sometimes it's easier than choosing one HUD to match several different outfits in one post. 

It's been a lazy kind of day, with a bit of hibernation thrown in for good measure...I am late again with my blogging, still shaking off cobwebs from a really weird dream and having a bit of tummy troubles. We get to start a fresh new week though, full of potential, and I am looking forward to it :) Stay safe and warm everyone, magical magpie hugs to each of you!!

Hunting For Something More Adult...

Hiya everyone! Tonight I have some gifts from a more adult themed hunt than I usually share, this is called the Hunt For Your Inner Slut and the object you're looking for is a golden cock (yes, as in penis). This is their 13th round so you've probably seen the hunt signs around the grid, and this round's theme is Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Confession time, I haven't read the book yet even though Xan got it for me 2 or 3 Christmases ago, so I don't get all the references as much as I should. I can still appreciate the generosity of the designers though :)

My first look tonight is two terrific gifts that work well together. The dress is from #018 Humble Beginnings and is their Out Of This Galaxy dress in standard fitmesh sizes plus Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink versions. I love the pattern, and the lace hem and cuffs! The collar is our prize #001 from Nerdology, the Don't Panic Collar in open collar and unscripted versions. The texture of the planet slowly rotates, it's a really intriguing piece.

Next we have a very sexy catsuit from Glitzz, #005 in the hunt path, and it includes matching corset pumps. The catsuit comes in 5 mesh sizes, and the pumps are in a Slink version and a non-rigged pair so you can adjust for your needs.

B Barbie Style (#006) has a great prize waiting for you, their Don't Panic Towel. You can choose from 6 different mesh sizes, so you certainly don't have to panic about finding the right fit ;) Besides, towels are very useful as well as this one being extra fun.

Our last look of the night is the prize from #010, Mad Cat Creations. Their shirt and jeans each come in more sizes than you can possibly imagine...there are over 50 shirt sizes alone! The pants come in lengths for Mid and High heels, I am showing the mid even though I'm wearing high feet and you can see how long they are. The shirt's pattern is so pretty.

No nail note of the night as I went with the Slink default HUD today :) I dozed off at the wrong time and am running late with my normal blogging routine, but I am safe and snuggly in all this snow. My area got about 20" and it's still falling a bit, so I am grateful to have electricity and internet. Magical magpie hugs to all of you, stay safe!!

Black Or White Gone Casual

Hiya everyone! I have one last post tonight from the Black or White 2 Hunt for you, and these prizes lean more towards casual. We don't always need to be elegantly gowned, even if it is fun, since there are so many things to do in SL that need a wider variety of clothing. Let's take a look, shall we? :)

My first look is both gifts from Emmalena Damour Designs, who are #27 in the hunt. The top is their Vanessa Sweater Chenille in Dark Gray and is the black path prize, provided in 5 mesh sizes. The white path prize is the Pencil Skirt Tweed White, standard sizes of mesh panels with a system pants layer plus appliers for Slink and Omega. While they look lovely together, they are also easy to mix and match with a huge variety of your favorite key wardrobe pieces. That's the joy of neutral colors.

Next we have a very familiar silhouette in this hunt (half these designers are as taken with the full perm mesh as I am with the results it seems), this being the white path prize from County Couture, #29. The floral shift dress comes in 5 standard, 5 rigged, Slink, Belleza, and Maitreya sizes for lots of options, and the Boho boots are included for classic avatar feet. 

Find the black path prize at Country Couture, and you'll be adding a most useful outfit to your inventory without taxing that total number :) The single mesh piece outfit comes with a HUD featuring 6 texture choices for each the top and pants, so you can mix it up to your heart's content. It also includes the lovely heels in a Slink version and a non rigged pair so you can edit and adjust those as needed.

The black path prize at CDA Creations is a playful, casual polo shirt in standard mesh sizes. I paired it with a marketplace freebie pair of pants I'd blogged before (see credits) as it is too short to get away with showing alone ;) I like the preppy feel of it, not my usual vibe but a welcome change of pace.

Our last look of the night is both prizes from Ollies Follies, which are each provided in male, female, and toddledeedoo versions. On the left you can see the black path prize, the Daelyn Sweater, which is in standard mesh sizes. On the right is the lovely Denia Sweater in Grey Flake, also standard mesh sizes. The male and toddler versions of each have slightly different names, but the same patterns and basic designs. They're both so comfy cozy, I can't even pick a favorite.

Nail note of the night: I picked up this week's Hello Dave group gift right before taking these photos and decided it was as good a time as any to share :) I'm wearing their We're On nails HUD which works for Slink and Omega, and there are 10 designs incorporating red and white squiggly lines. The group is free to join, and previous group gifts are available since Maia is lovely and generous :D

Well what can I really say about today except ERMAHGERD, SNOWMAGEDDON!! Okay I'm not genuinely freaking out, I'm well prepared and grateful as all get-out to have a generator for when we lose power (yes when, not if, as my little cul-de-sac always seems to lose it even if the wind blows too hard or it rains too much) with at least 3 days worth of propane. I do hope that everyone who is in the weather danger zone stays safe and warm, my worries are all for others at this point rather than myself. Warm and magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Black or White and Hot All Over

Hiya everyone! I hope today has been good to all of you, and that anyone in the area of the USA that's about to get slammed with snow is nice and prepared. As for me, I am stocked up on yummy food and ready to spend a lot of time online :) I have more Black or White 2 hunt treats to show you all, so let's have some peeks.

This luxurious gown is our prize from Kitty Shape Wears, #23 and this is from the black path. The Black Shimmering Satin Gown is provided in standard sizing plus Belleza, Slink, and Maitreya versions for a great fit. 

The white path prize from Kitty Shape Wears is another beauty, this time a bit more casual. Their White Polka Dot Dress is provided in 4 sizes (small, medium, large, and extra large) and is a rather loose style so that should be good for many of us. It makes me long for spring!

Cheeky Parrot Boutique is #25 in the hunt path, and I showed you their black prize yesterday...tonight I get to share their white path hunt prize which is their Marlee Dress. This is another one that makes me think of spring, not the colors so much as the mini halter style. All this needs is a hot pair of earrings or cute purse and we're ready to hit a club!

One Love Too is a fairly new store to me, but I had seen them in a prior hunt I believe. I'm pleased that they are taking part in this hunt, as they provide both male and female prizes for each path (as plenty of the other stores do) which makes it more worth Xan's efforts to help me out :) This is the white path prize, the lovely White Pencil Dress, in 5 fitmesh sizes along with Belleza, Slink, and Maitreya versions. Your favorite guy (or mAlt) can enjoy a matching white pullover shirt with long sleeves.

One last look of the night, we have the One Love Too black path prize for ladies, their Leather LBD. We all need a little black dress for every occasion, and this sexy leather one has an alluring belt just beneath the bust for added interest. The male gift is a matching leather jacket, with a HUD to turn off the turtleneck beneath. I think with the turtleneck off, a modest busted gal could get away with wearing it as well.

I might be going to an Amish market tomorrow since the usual Saturday farmers market is probably going to be canceled due to the weather, then there is my usual Friday dinner with my parents :) All in all it should be enjoyable, and I hope you all have a good one as well. Magical magpie hugs to everyone!
