Hiya everyone! I have spent a lot of time fishing at Sn@tch, as I do each time they release a new Fish 4 This set, and tonight I am showing you part one of the current round called Through the Woods. This 23-piece set consists of 5 pairs of pants (system and Omega applier), cuffs for the pants, 5 mesh tops in standard sizes, 2 sweaters (system and Omega applier), a mesh fur coat in standard sizes plus a fitmesh version, a matching pair of boots, and makeup in system and Omega. That's a pretty impressive collection, isn't it? :) So let me show you a few examples of what you can catch with your 7 Seas fishing rod, purchasable at Sn@tch or anywhere 7 Seas fishing is offered and it lasts forever...
First we have the Sn@tch Keely Suede Jacket in Army, and these terrific jackets have a built in tank top beneath in a silvery grey. I paired it with the Sn@tch Plaid Snowpants in Green, for which I chose to slip back into my Slink Physique body because the Omega applier is just so much more convenient with Slink compared to Maitreya. No need to wear the Omega relay HUD, and have popups each time you apply a texture...streamlining the process while taking photos is a plus.
For my next look, I chose the black version of the Keely Suede Jacket, along with the black Plaid Snowpants. I even added the cuffs this time, I must admit I cannot tell the difference between prim and sculpts so not sure exactly which they are, but they are adjustable and match all 5 pairs very nicely.
Time to look pretty in plum! This is the Keely Suede Jacket in Plum, paired with the Plaid Snowpants in, you guessed it, Plum. Even the striking Through the Woods Makeup I added here is Plum, but it will look just as stunning with any of the colors as well as other outfits. I have also added the Kellan Boots in Black, it looks a bit too chilly in my backyard for bare feet.
I kept the lovely plum pants on and topped them instead here with the Through the Woods Fur Coat in Black. It has a beautiful plush texture, and the bow on the belt is a sweet touch. You can also see different views of the boots here, glimpses of the sturdy buckle and strap details plus the great heels.
One last look of the evening, I wanted to show a closer look at that gorgeous makeup! There is an Omega HUD for all compatible mesh heads, this is the system layer shown on my classic face and you can see the wonderful details. I particularly like the satin finish of the lips, and the dramatic black liner with wings that would make Cleopatra jealous. I took off the optional bangs from my Truth VIP hairstyle (Sugar) to let you see the makeup better, and you can also get a good look at the beautiful eyes I am wearing from *Inkheart* called Eternal Eyes - Alchemy. This shade is found on their Midnight Mania board for November, not sure how quickly they will change it out so I recommend hurrying! All of their eyes are delightful though, and don't forget to check the lucky letter balloons around the store while visiting.
It turns out the next few days are going to be very busy for me in RL, but that will hopefully not interfere with my posting too much. One thing I plan on doing is posting earlier in the day so I can get the daily Advent Calendar items shown with plenty of time for you to pick them up, just the first few days may be shorter posts focusing on mainly those. In painfully obvious life advice, I recommend not scheduling a dentist appointment that will involve at least 2 fillings for the afternoon of a Friday when you normally eat dinner with your parents every Friday. I might be sitting there all numb and drooling still, just watching them eat, LOL! Perhaps scheduling things while still loopy from nitrous isn't the greatest idea either, to be fair. I'll be okay, just a bit frazzled by Friday night.
I hope you are all having a terrific day/evening, magical magpie hugs to each and every one of you!!

Hiya everyone! Earlier I visited Angel"S Jewelry and was delighted to find their Christmas tree with 6 group gifts tucked beneath, and a wall with gifts for their store group along with other groups (like the mesh body ones I have posted about recently). So I had some fun with the goodies under the tree, and now I get to show you the results of said fun. Their group is free to join, and the prizes are geared towards mesh bodies (mainly Maitreya) but most are suitable for any body including classic. Your group tag will say Red Angel"S which is on the store logo as well.
You may have wondered about my title, well the store may be called Angel"S Jewelry but there are gifts that are less than angelic ;) That is clearly not a complaint, by the way! This first gift is called Sasha Maitreya, and each component comes in just a single Maitreya size. The jacket is a great style, and the boots are amazing for sure. But that micro mini skirt with buckles and "Bad Girl" on the hem, just a real show-stopper. Add them together and you have this gift from under the tree, a look to land you on Santa's naughty list in the best way.
This next dress made me remember an old expression, hotter than a two dollar pistol, and it makes me long to be somewhere tropical, which is easy enough to accomplish in SL. The dress is named Kelly and is also under the tree for group members, and there are several mesh body sizes included: Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Slink Hourglass, and Slink Physique. The color really caught my attention as well as the wonderful style.
You can also find this cozy outfit under the tree, it is called Diva Angels and that is exactly what it says on the soft turtleneck sweater dress. The boots are included too, which look like the same ones found in the first one I showed you. The sweater is provided in what I call the lucky 13 of sizes (5 standard, 5 fitmesh, Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink) and the boots include sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique.
My shirt here is the BG Blouse which is another group gift beneath the Christmas tree, and as you can see it says Bad Girl down the front with a skeletal hand gesture on the back to emphasize the point. It is provided in those lucky 13 of mesh sizes (5 classic, 5 fitmesh, Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink). The cute and playful Sport Shoes are in a different box under the tree, which includes these tiptoe sneakers in Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink versions which fit my Slink High feet quite well. They have some interesting details too, from the open laces to the Santa image on each tongue, and let's not forget the bit of attitude from the metal studs. My jeans are a marketplace favorite of mine, the free jeans from Delizio that I have blogged many times previously and will continue to do so I'm sure.
One last look of the evening, this is a group gift found on the wall rather than the Christmas tree in the middle of the store. This is their Womens Tattoo in Butterfly, and includes a system layer along with appliers for Maitreya, Belleza, and Omega so it should work out nicely for most of us. There is also a butterfly on one upper thigh that is part of this tattoo but hidden under my jeans. I am always on the lookout for nice tattoos and am fond of butterflies, so this was an especially happy find for me.
As November comes to a close, I am very excited about the things that December will hold for the blog and for SL in general. There are new hunts, advent calendar gifts, a Wash Cart Sale, and plenty more so please stay tuned :) Meanwhile, I hope you're having a terrific day/evening and magical magpie hugs to everyone!!!

Hiya everyone! I managed to track down the blog for the MGS&N group, and saw there were plenty of other stores who have group gifts available as well. How could I possibly resist sharing more? There are several participating designers and the website is not an official list, just posts from the group founder that gave us photos and locations and may have (in a few cases did) changed since the post. It is absolutely worth visiting a store whose group gift catches your eye. Here are a few more of my favorites so far...
This outfit is actually two of the group gifts I picked up today, they work well together but by all means please pair them with anything you prefer. The top is from {M.STORE} and is called Jacket Sofie Green/Top Black. It is provided in standard mesh sizes along with Freya, Isis, Venus, Hourglass, Physique, and Maitreya as shown. The jeans are our current gift from Nala Design, their ND*Jeans Ripped Blue*, in 14 different mesh sizes: 5 standard, 5 fitted, Belleza, Maitreya, Slink Hourglass, and Slink Physique. The slightly faded shade of blue is perfect for so many casual looks.
My next look is our gift from Vanity Dream Store called ERY Outfit. The blouse and skirt are each included in standard, Maitreya, Physique, Hourglass, and TMP sizes for a wide variety of fits. The top has such a pretty style with the deep neckline and great sleeves, and the skirt has the added bonus of the sheer layer resting atop the red silk.
With all the food-centered holidays this time of year, we can't forget that an invigorating workout will help us feel and look our best. This gift from *SweetBlack* is a great reminder as well as a fun choice of what to wear while you get your heart rate up :) Their fit workout top comes in 5 fitmesh sizes plus Belleza, Maitreya, Slink, and Hourglass, while the pants include 5 fitmesh as well as Slink, Belleza, and Maitreya versions. I find lately a nice long walk is the best exercise I get in RL, maybe varying that should be a resolution for the new year.
Once you've toned your avi's figure, this looks like a great way to show it off! Our group gift from LsR is the stunning Sexy Mini Dress Sheile Black, with a texture filled with sequins and a style with pretty ruffles on the hips. The dress comes in Hourglass, Physique, and Maitreya sizes only, but there is a chance that classic avatars may find that one of them fits well enough perhaps with an alpha layer in your inventory from a similar style.
This is one of my favorite dress styles, so I am pleased to show it off whenever I find a designer who has given us their special take on it. This is called Dear Juliet - Gold Moon V2 Dress from MONOMANIA and is their MGSN group gift. It is included in an amazing set of sizes: 5 standard, 5 busty, 5 fitmesh, Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink. The texture is delightful, we are sure to sparkle wherever we wear this striking gift!
I hope all of you had a decent Monday, magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Hiya everyone! I am still experimenting with my shiny new Maitreya Lara mesh body, and realized that there are some useful groups in-world to find bargains and gifts of clothing designed for mesh bodies so I checked out one of those. I was already a member of Fitmesh Fanatics, and the other I joined (also for free) is Maitreya Gifts, Sales, and News. Several stores have free gifts out for one or both groups, just activate the tag and click the gift in the store to claim some great quality goodies.
I have blogged many generous gifts and hunt prizes from Precious Designs in the past, and am pleased to share another terrific one here. This is their PD ~ Nothin' Like You Dress and is a free gift for the MGS&N Group. It includes a HUD with 6 denim colors to choose from, and comes in plenty of fitmesh sizes including standard, Belleza, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Slink (physique). The colors include traditional denim like on the left, and less common shades with the same great texture.
Next I visited + Kamiri + whose designer is the founder of the MGS&N group. She has two group gifts for us to claim, I paired them together here but you can certainly match them with a wide variety of your favorite inventory pieces. The top is the Primizia Sequin Top and comes with a HUD for 3 color choices, two of which you can see above. The flirty skirt is Maddalena Miniskirt Maitreya and is included in Pink and Teal versions. Now both of these gifts are a specific Maitreya size only, which makes sense for a Maitreya group :) If you really want to try them and do not have a Maitreya body, it is quite possible that an alpha layer you already have (or your mesh body's HUD alpha capabilities) may allow you to wear these too.
I kept on the teal version of the above skirt to show you another great gift for the MGS&N group, this time from Lucky Night. This is Anastasia Top Sky and she is a sheer beauty with lots of luscious straps, in a system layer (tattoo layer actually) as well as appliers for Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink.
One last look for the night, this is a Fitmesh Fanatics group gift, courtesy of Pearl Fashion. The outfit is called Nuria and is comprised of the top in 8 fitmesh sizes including Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink, along with the jeans in standard, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Slink Physique sizes. Also included is a handy HUD which offers 4 color choices for the jeans, 9 for the top, and 9 for the belt. Texture HUDs instead of having 40 colors/sizes of each item is one of my favorite advancements in SL over the years :) If only we could replicate it in RL, I have a few shirts I would love to wear in different colors when I get tired of their current look.
Another weekend comes to a close, which means a fresh new week filled with all the possibilities we could ever ask for. Enjoy, and magical magpie hugs to all of you!!

Hiya everyone! The past few days have been utter chaos, so I was more than ready to relax and enjoy some Marketplace shopping. No worries about teleporting to overcrowded sims, just open a browser and your avi can stay in comfy sweats or even nothing at all. I was the very fortunate and grateful recipient of a Maitreya Lara mesh body, and I decided it would be fun to experiment with the HUD and really put her through her paces with various clothing. I included Maitreya in my search string, along with NOT demo, and as you are about to see I found some lovely gifts for us all to enjoy :)
My first find is a terrific mesh dress from M&M called Evelin Dress which comes in plenty of fitmesh sizes for every size and shape: standard, eBody 1 and 2, Slink, Maitreya, and TMP 1 and 2. You know by now that I am a big fan of HUD texture change clothing, and this dress has a HUD with 8 color options so your inventory will thank you as well as your appreciation for variety. Also included are the gorgeous gold shoes to match the gold buttons on the dress, and the striking necklace in 2 parts to wear together or separately (shown are both together) in gold with rubies. This is ideal if you want to look great from head to toe but don't have time to sift through your jewelry folder and shoes folder after finding the right dress.
Sometimes we need a really cute casual look, and this free sweater from the Happy Undead marketplace store caught my attention immediately. This is their Short Hoody Jacket in fuschia and light sea, with a system layer plus appliers for Maitreya, Slink, Omega, and Lolas, along with the sculpted hood in a regular and boobs version so the laces in front don't dig into your chest if it is generously sized. I love the look of the gloves too, a cozy little touch to be sure. The jeans are a longtime favorite of mine also from the marketplace from Delizio, which include several colors in system, Maitreya, and Omega appliers, shown here in blue. It was fun getting to use the Maitreya HUDs for a change.
We need something pretty to wear under these lovely clothes too, or of course to share with someone special. This alluring look is from Aero Designer and the bra and panties in their enchanting colors are free on the marketplace in system layers plus appliers for Omega, Belleza, and Maitreya.
I have a fondness for butterflies, so this beautiful tank top really caught my eye! This is the ZB Gift Top Butterfly, another marketplace treat that includes a system layer plus HUDs for Belleza, Maitreya, and Omega. The design from the front is repeated onto the back of the shirt as well, look pretty coming and going. The jeans are the Delizio gift in black, just another of their many useful colors.
I found another stunning bra and panties set, courtesy of Scandal Fashions and named Rosa Bra and Panties Fatpack. In addition to the pink and red shown, there are a white version and a black (more like silvery grey accents) and these are provided in system layers as well as appliers for TMP, Omega, Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink. I was intrigued by the full coverage style of the bra compared to the low slung almost-a-thong style of the panties, it reminded me of the timeless advice to choose a favorite feature or body part and highlight it, show it off to its best advantage. The rear of the Maitreya body has different curves than the Slink I'm used to, not drastic but enough to notice.
Whew, what a day...my computer has its Windows 7 updates (yep, I am old school LOL) safely installed finally, although my clock still runs 3-4 minutes fast which I've been told may require a registry edit fix. That is SO far over my head, hehe, I will be getting some assistance with that soon *waves and blows a kiss to Xan* :) I had some more Thanksgiving leftovers, and am hoping all the rest have been frozen so I can eat something else tomorrow for variety's sake. Don't get me wrong, I am grateful for all the delicious food as well as the wonderful company I had, it's just that all good things must come to an end. I hope you're all having a glorious weekend, magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Hiya everyone, just a quick note that I was not home Thursday to post and then Friday I encountered some technical difficulties so no post tonight either. I am trying to get Windows to check for updates for the first time since June and it just refused to even check for the updates, let alone whatever nightmares come along with installing them if I reach that point. I had a really enjoyable Thanksgiving and I hope all of you who celebrated did too. Magical magpie hugs to each of you, and have a great weekend!!
Hiya everyone! As you can see tonight, I am busy in the kitchen of my new SL home, and so grateful to Free Dove for being a one-stop shop for generous gifts from so many designers from all over the grid. I shared some of the gifts I picked out yesterday, and there were plenty more to have fun with tonight as well.
The turkey is in the oven, and I am nervously awaiting my guests so first I am trying on this adorable dress from Vintage Touch called Kohala Summer Dress in Bluebell which comes in standard mesh sizes. Now the aisles at Free Dove have signs above them so you know what to find in each section, and the dress was in the Womens Clothing section but the matching shoes for Slink Mid feet are found in the Womens Shoes area. They are Kohala Strappy Sandals in Bluebell, and made me feel very pulled together with coordinated shoes in that soothing blue shade.
Then I started worrying that maybe the dress wasn't quite formal enough, so I switched to this lovely gift from Snowpaws, their Keelie Mesh Gown in violet. The fabric looks so soft to the touch, and the belt is loose enough that I am not afraid of overindulging. There are 5 standard mesh sizes to be found in this sweet gift. Speaking of sweet, that pumpkin pie smells delicious...
I keep having to open the oven and it made it so hot in the kitchen, which led me to another idea...a shorter dress! Serendipity has an adorable frock called Lacey Dress Black which comes in standard sizes plus Maitreya, Slink Hourglass, and Slink Physique sizes so I was ready again in a snap. Just don't tell Xan that I swiped a taste of his potatoes au gratin, I simply couldn't wait!
I was still feeling too hot, and then I remembered this adorable skirt set I picked up at Free Dove by Baby Monkey, their Flirt Top and Flared Skirt in Poppies. The pattern is a delicate floral in such lovely colors, and the style is so alluring. Now to check on the stuffing, guests will be here any second.
So what's a gal to do when all her guests show up dressed casually? Pick another terrific outfit she found at Free Dove and do another quick change, that's what! This is the H.W Mesh Jeans and Cropped Top from !!smesh, and it may be casual but it also has some pizazz. The teal crop top comes in standard mesh sizes plus a fitted version, and the high waisted jeans with their attached double belt are included in what I call the lucky 13 of sizes (5 classic, 5 fitted mesh, Belleza, Maitreya, Slink). I love the unique styling of the top, and the wrinkled cuffs of the jeans are shadowed perfectly. The jeans are very flattering to my curves, too!
While my SL thanksgiving adventure has come to an end, my RL one is about to begin in a mere 12 hours or so. It will be several courses over several hours, from Italian wedding soup and homemade spaghetti and meatballs to the actual turkey and sides, it's a family tradition that amazes people and quite possibly scares them ;) I even skipped mentioning a few courses there, just to save you all from them. The important thing is spending time with family though, even if we don't always see eye-to-eye there is always love and loyalty there. That is all I wish for you, too, time with people who care about you ♥. If you are in the USA like me, I wish you a very Happy Thanksgiving, and no matter where you are I wish you a beautiful day filled with your favorite things. Magical magpie hugs to everyone!!!

Hiya everyone! Tonight I was unsure what to post as we are getting closer and closer to a very busy holiday. Thanksgiving is considered the biggest travel day of the year in the USA, but I am more affected by preparation and helping than travel. So I thought about great places to visit where you can find many bargains or free gifts in one stop, and Free Dove came to mind. I know I usually cover their monthly hunts, but what about the gifts that are there long term for all visitors and do not even involve a hunt? You can see where this is going :) I visited not as a hunter but as a gift seeker, and I was absolutely not disappointed.
My first look is a remarkably generous gift from Rebel Hope, which includes this stunning gown in 11 terrific colors. On the left you can see the Malibu Mesh Maxi Dress in Carnation, and on the right in Blue Bell. Each color comes in standard mesh sizes with matching alpha layer, there is a beautiful range of hues included in this free gift.
This frilly mini dress caught my eye because it has autumn colors but a more summery style so it suits any weather. This gift is from Lillou's Designs and is called [LD] Candice - Dove, and includes 3 sizes (XXS/XS/S, M, L/XL) with the coordinating alpha layer. The style is a fun and flattering one.
Maybe you need something a bit more casual but very pulled together, so you can shop or explore the grid in style. Pick up this fantastic gift from Hilly Haalan and you will find their Coco outfit, comprised of the sweater and leggings each in standard mesh sizes, plus the boots for default avatar feet (resize scripts built in) and matching shoulder bag, and even the classic sunglasses. I really like the clean look of the white, grey, and burgundy together.
Tiffany Designs is offering this sleek dress called TD Hilary 2 Mesh Dress in Black as a Free Dove gift, and it is a textural delight with the subtle floral pattern on half. The dress is included in what I call the lucky 13 of sizes, 5 standard and 5 fitmesh along with Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink versions. This would be an ideal choice for a holiday gathering, but why wait? :)
Speaking of choices for holidays, there is a table set up at Free Dove with some special Thanksgiving gifts to help you find something special to wear or just the right accessories. There are two gifts from D~Vine Style on the table, the delightful nails I am wearing here, which each offer 12 holiday designs on HUDs for Maitreya, Omega, and Omega Extend. On the left you can see their Set 01 with the lighter colored background, on the right is Set 01b with the dark brown background. I really enjoy the variety of designs offered on their HUDs.
I have a hair note tonight, Truth Hair has sent a bonus VIP gift through their group ($265L to join for a bit longer, then the fee goes up higher) to thank all of us for joining. The exclusive gift is called Sugar and is a lush updo with plenty of extras such as the bangs and long wisps shown, and short wisps that look like a few tiny tendrils escaping. All the color HUDs are included so it is a generous fat pack. Normally there will be one VIP gift a month, and as a longtime fan I am really excited to be in the group.
Today was a productive day, my chiropractor even adjusted my mouse hand and wrists and elbows to help relieve the soreness that I deal with from being online so much. It really feels better, I'll have to remember to ask for that every time I see him! Tomorrow will be almost as busy as Thursday for me, with an out of town guest arriving and more prep work to do, but I will try to at least pop in with a quick look and a holiday wish. Magical magpie hugs to all of you!!

Hiya everyone! There are more fantastic finds from the Menstuff Fall '16 to share tonight, so let's dive right in and see what you can find.
This one piece outfit is our free prize from BRAVURA Boite Noir, such a good find for this chilly season. It is included in standard mesh sizes, and the textures look downright snuggly with the rich knit and corduroy. I am a big fan of 3/4 length sleeves too by the way, RL as well as SL, so you can layer over them easier and so watches/bracelets do not wind up hidden or snagged.
After 3 days of displaying menswear, my boobs and I got into an argument here...this is the generous prize from Ishara Shop and it includes the open military shirt (standard, fitmesh, and TMP sizes) and jeans (standard, Adam, Aesthetic, Slink, and TMP) along with the watch and Jordey Slink male sneakers I am wearing here. I took off my mesh body to see if the shirt's included alpha would reign in my breasts a bit better, and as you can tell that didn't work out so well. They are rebellious :P
By this point they were demanding their freedom and have made even more of an appearance here, beneath this handsome Mesh Cascade Denim Jacket from the Tahoma. It is included in standard mesh sizes for male avatars, and has a great layered look with the hooded shirt beneath the denim. Even more good news, the PROMO Black Graduated Aviators sunglasses you see here are included as well. I do appreciate bonus accessories.
I left the mesh body off for this photo as well, since this striking tattoo from Roby'Style called Old School 1 comes in classic and Aesthetic versions only. This is the tattoo layer for default avatars, the applier for Aesthetic is in the blue t-shirt as well. I have seen some similar RL ink that reminds me of this style, quite timeless.
One last peek for the night, pun intended, as I slid back into my Slink Physique body and applied the prize from N.Z Creations called Maori Gang. These tattoos come in plenty of variations for many possibilities...shown here is the Slink applier full tattoo in the default (darkest) shade. The other varieties are hands only and no hands (if you are wearing just mesh hands or different creator body and hands for example, you may need both of those) in mid, light, and the darker tone I am wearing. Each comes in system layers plus appliers for Slink, Omega, and TMP. Please note that the intricate design on the hands is on the palm side as well as the back, as seen on the right, and that gap between arm and hand is apparently intentional. I was afraid I was having an applier glitch at first but I found the exact tattoo on their marketplace store and their vendor photos show it too. I deeply appreciate the cultural glimpse they have shared with us! I am also noticing that there isn't a drastic difference between with and without the body as far as size or shape goes, just the smoothness from the mesh body is quite apparent.
Today was the usual pre-holiday planning and worrying, complete with a family member bringing a date who has changed her dietary preferences since we last saw her and wants to either bring her own food or have us change the entire menu three days before feeding a dozen people. We have adjusted this for health reasons for 4 of the people already (including myself), but this is not enough warning because you changed your ideology yet again. Nothing will have hidden ingredients, we will be honest with her, but there's no time to change everything. I hope you're all having a beautiful day, magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
