Sn@tch Grab Bags of Darkness

Hiya everyone! A few days ago, Sn@tch switched out their fishing prize set as they do every 2 weeks, and this Fish 4 This round is called Grab Bag of Darkness, and it consists of 20 grab bags filled with black items such as mesh clothing, system/applier clothing or accessories. I am having a great time combining the components in various ways, and tonight I am excited to share a few of those combinations that you too can catch with a 7 Seas rod ($100L for the casual, no bait needed, available at the store) and a little patience :) I recommend bringing a friend or several, and swapping your extras since they are all transferable. There are also lucky boards and riot vendors in the fishing area, so you could wind up with some sweet prizes and bargains along with your fishing haul.


While Sn@tch does bring out my inner goth from time to time, this particular prize can suit nearly any style category you may fall into, when you want something elegant and dramatic. It is called Sn@tch Vivian Satin Gown in Black, and the grab bag includes standard mesh sizes along with Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink versions. I love the style with the plunging back and the delicate swirls of the texture.


My next look combines two more prizes from this fishing set, starting with the top which is the Sn@tch Jett Tank Top and is provided in standard sizes along with a fitted mesh version, all tucked in the grab bag which I assume is waterproof ;) The skirt is their Sn@tch Sooner Leather Skirt in Black, and that grab bag also includes standard mesh sizes and a fitted size. The straps on the front and layer of fishnet peeking out from the hem are wonderful touches, and this skirt is about to show off its versatility in the next couple of photos too.


Here we have that same skirt with a new top, the Sn@tch Delicious Corset Top in Black. This beauty includes system layers and an Omega applier, and as always with their products I am in awe of the wonderful texturing. Those roses look like you could touch them and run your fingers along each petal. I was quite pleased to catch their Sn@tch Spellcraft Necklace from another grab bag, so I could show it off with this terrific outfit. The deep purple gemstone in the center adds just the right amount of color, such dark beauty.


My new favorite skirt makes another appearance here, this time being matched with the Sn@tch Minxy Leather Halter Top in Black. This sexy draped halter includes standard mesh sizes plus a fitted version, and is held in place by just 3 thin ties in the back. I can see this getting a lot of use in these warmer months, at a club or a tropical vacation spot.

The indoor farmers market I visit each weekend is run by a coffee roasting company (they own the building and rent out commercial kitchen space there too) so today was a interesting one, they held a coffee cupping event for free and I must admit I learned a lot! There were 5 different varieties of coffee and the master roaster filled 5 cups per variety with ground coffee then hot water, and after steeping during a brief talk, we each got to smell then taste and rate each one. I generally avoid caffeine (anxiety, panic attacks, insomnia, etc. etc.) so the tiny tastes were still a shock to my system and I am surprised I stopped bouncing off the walls enough to nap ;) No ill effects, just a lot of really fast babbling, LOL. Sometimes I speak too quickly anyway, so that just amplified it. Tomorrow's post will hold more treats from this fishing set, since you have only seen a small sample of the 20 grab bags. I hope you're all enjoying your weekend, magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Down the Rabbit Hole

Hiya everyone! Tonight's post is a time sensitive one, as it involves a hunt that ends on the 30th, but I feel like it deserved to be featured and I just discovered it myself this morning. It is the Dark Wonderland Hunt on the Fall of Man sim, one gorgeous area to search with 19 stores participating for a total of I believe 29 hidden cupcakes. When you land, you will see a ring of rocks that will let you click to go down the rabbit hole, this teleports you to their Wonderland where all the cupcakes can be found. There are hints on their website, and it was a lot of fun exploring the build, so much to see! Xan and I really enjoyed it, and since it is an adult sim I was expecting more of a horror type take on the classic story and was surprised but pleased that it was not spooky. Creepy settings can be great fun too, I just was not necessarily in the mood for scary stuff at 4 AM ;) I can't decide if my favorite part was the teacup carousel, the chess game with moving pieces, or the huge teapot that I dangled from while it poured a nice giant cup of tea. 


This stunning gown is one of 4 prizes you can find from Syren's Song in those hidden cupcakes. It is called Off With Your Head, and comes in Belleza, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and Fitmesh versions. There are so many great details here, like the hearts at the hem and the Juliet sleeves with crisp points at the wrists. If you enjoy this one, there are 2 other variations of this style hidden in other cupcakes, Alice and Dark Alice, and they each have their own color theme and styling variations. 


This is yet another beauty from Syren's Song, called Raven Red and it is included in standard mesh sizes plus a fitted version and Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique fits. I need to mention that the lace skirt is quite sheer, and I went commando (no panties) to show what it looks like as is. I do recommend adding your favorite undergarments if you are going to a sim whose rules would indicate a need, any black or red pair would look especially sharp beneath this lovely dress and many mesh bodies include undies in one or both of those colors.


The prize from God Mod is this Wonderland Gown, a delight in dark colors with a vintage illustration. It is included in standard sizes along with Belleza Freya, Belleza Isis, Belleza Venus, Maitreya, Slink Hourglass, Slink Physique, and TMP versions. I am really glad I found this cupcake and was able to claim this terrific gift. I am also glad to get a chance to use this particular pose from Verocity (Cheryl 6), it suited the dress so well.


Interesting note, I was seeing most of the cupcakes as having purple icing (probably similar to the darker shade on the t-shirt image) and Xan was seeing them as royal blue on his monitor, so I can't really say for sure which color your monitor will show. I liked the purple theme of this photo, which starts with the shirt from To The Moon & Back called M&B Dark Wonderland Womens. It comes in plenty of fitmesh sizes including standard, Belleza Freya, Belleza Isis, Belleza Venus, Maitreya, Slink Hourglass, Slink Physique, and TMP. There is even a mens version tucked inside the cupcake, so whichever avatar you wear, you can enjoy the eerie cheshire grin. On the right I am hugging one of the prizes from Dixie Designs, their DDesigns Dark Rabbit Purple, who has a built in hold pose as seen above. Their other cupcakes hold a red version and a set of bouncing peeps to rez out as decor, so be sure to find them all. My jeans in this photo and the next are a favorite gift of mine from the Marketplace, the Delizio Jeans which include several colors in system layers plus Maitreya and Omega HUDs. I wear them a lot and highly recommend them.


More fun shirts, on the left I am wearing our prize from Get Frocked called Mad Here Crop Top which comes in standard mesh sizes and has an extended turtleneck with that famous grin on it, and says "We're all mad here" across the front. On the right is one of our 4 gifts from SHUTTER, called Make America Late Again in heather grey, that cupcake also contains a light blue version and each are provided in standard sizes. I know this is based on a political slogan so I'll stress that I am neither poking fun of the person whose slogan it is, nor am I endorsing them in the least, just enjoying the humor of the perpetually tardy rabbit with whom I can identify as I am usually running late for things. The other prizes from SHUTTER include the male version of this shirt, some Wonderland themed gestures, and even a colorful dress that matches the hunt theme. These are some really creative prizes, so I hope you find them all this weekend while you can :)

I am already tired from this weekend and it's barely started, LOL! I have plans for both Saturday and Sunday, and trying to help with an emotionally draining family situation (elderly family member) that makes my Fridays and Sundays bittersweet. We play games to keep her brain active, tonight was Pokeno which if you're unfamiliar is like Bingo but instead of numbers, the bingo cards have playing cards on them. You use a regular deck of cards to call them, and 5 in a row gives you the win like regular bingo. It's been years, so it was neat to play again and we are trying to find other simple, easy to learn games for 5 players. Meanwhile, I am hoping that all of you have a fantastic weekend ahead, magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Free Dove - D!vine Style

Hiya everyone! Tonight I am showing you some of the various prizes from another Free Dove mini hunt for April, this time from D!vine Style. They have 10 hidden prizes inside adorable cupcakes (they have such cute faces and the eyes blink!), 7 of which are found at the Free Dove store and you will need the Free Dove group tag to claim them. The group is free to join, and the tag comes in handy for all 3 mini hunts this month. While the month is nearly over, this may be their new plan for future hunts too. Now I did mention that 7 of the 10 prizes are hidden at Free Dove, well when Xan and I couldn't track down the remaining cupcakes it occurred to us to check the D!vine Style mainstore and lo and behold, 3 cupcakes were waiting there for us :) Two were for the Free Dove group, and the final one is for the D!vine Style's store group. Don't worry, I will let you know beneath each picture (and in the credits) which location each prize is from. Also if you are in need of some new poses, I will be showing you a few you can find at a delightfully discounted price at the Pose Fair from Verocity. All my poses lately have been their fine work, and the last photo is where you will find the Pose Fair goodies.


First we have a fantastic bra and panty set called D!vine Style Foxy - Extra which includes the bra and panties in standard mesh sizes, along with a great HUD with a wide range of texture options. There are 6 main textures to choose from, solid and patterns, and there are also buttons for glow, shine, and tinting the textures, so the possibilities are limitless! The bra and panties are handled separately by the HUD, so you can mix and match as well. I'm sure you noticed the playful new ink on my left calf, that is another hunt prize called Tattoo - Calf - Love Heart and it includes system layers plus an Omega HUD. Each provide old, new, and normal options so you can decide how dark you like your tattoo, I am wearing the new so it would be more visible in the photo. Both of these cupcakes are at the Free Dove store.


Two charming prizes can be seen here, both from cupcakes at Free Dove. The outfit is D!vine Style Intrigue in Extra, and it includes standard mesh sizes and a very similar HUD to the one from the bra and panties in that first photo. There are 6 textures to choose from, and the same useful glow, shine, and tint options on the HUD so you can adjust these to suit any whim. I am enjoying another of their tattoos here too, the D!vine Style Tattoo - Lower Back - Tribal Heart. There are system layers and an Omega HUD included, with new, old, and normal choices and I again went with the new as the darkest for best visibility in photos. 


This fun one piece outfit is another gift tucked inside one of the cupcakes at Free Dove, and it is called D!vine Style Rebel - Extra. It includes standard mesh sizes and another amazing HUD with 6 textures and all the options like glow, shine, and tinting. I love having that kind of flexibility with a few simple clicks.


Maybe you are in need of another lingerie set and would prefer system layer/appliers over mesh sizes, well I have good news! One of the cupcakes at Free Dove holds this set called Victoria 4, and it offers the bra and panties in blue, green, brown, or white for classic avatars as well as Omega compatible mesh bodies. I love being able to mix and match, as I did on the right with the brown bra and blue panties.


This is the Victoria Set 5 lingerie, and you will find this safely hiding in the D!vine Style mainstore waiting for you with the Free Dove tag active. There are 4 patterned choices in system layers and Omega HUD, all of which are earth tone based. My poses here are just 3 selections from the Olivia Pose Set by Verocity, found for just $25L at the Pose Fair and including 6 poses plus their mirrors for a total of 12 looks. These and all their individual poses at the Pose Fair are also available for $5L each for single poses, $25L for the set, that is an impressive bargain for sure. From left to right here we have Olivia 1, 2M, and 4M so I definitely enjoy the "M" mirror versions too. You just have a couple more days to visit that Pose Fair, so be sure to enjoy it soon!

Hair note of the night: I visited the Epiphany this morning, which is a deliciously dangerous place for gacha addicts, and I won this wonderful hair from MINA called Inkie [Big ponytail] in Blonds. There are 3 versions with various color HUDs in the gacha machine, just $75L per play, and I do enjoy being blonde from time to time so this was a great win. The HUD lets you choose from among 10 shades (this strawberry type blonde is perfect for me!) and 3 variations for bangs, no bangs, and bangs with little wisps near the ears which is how I am wearing it.

Long day and not enough rest means I am a bit on the slow side tonight, and I am still worrying about how I will get enough sleep the next several days with everything on my plate, but I am doing my best. I hope you're all having a nice day/evening, magical magpie hugs to each of you!!

Free Dove Hunt - Sweet E's

Hiya everyone! Tonight I am sharing some prizes from another Free Dove hunt for April, this time from Sweet E's where you will be searching for 6 decorated easter eggs around the Free Dove store. You will need to have the Free Dove group tag active, but it is free to join so that is a plus. The eggs are in various decorations, with bright and pastel colors mixed in, so just browse around the store and be sure to look behind signs and in corners, places like that. On my nails, I am enjoying a special offer from LIVIA found at the APPLIQUE event, which really brought a sparkle to my fingers and toes.


First up, this is the Sweet E's Black and White Maxi Dress, which is tucked inside one of the hidden eggs and comes in standard mesh sizes. There is something so dramatically appealing of black lace against a white background, and the lace suits this flowing style quite well. 


My next look is the Blue Butterfly Top Skirt Dress, which is a single mesh piece with a layered look in 8 fitmesh sizes including Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink. The slits on the sides are a beautiful touch, and the texture on the top has an iridescent quality that might be from having materials enabled but there is a distinct sheen of green.


I do have a fondness for a pretty print paired with a solid color piece that picks up one of the subtle shades in the print, and this (like the previous outfit) appeals to that preference so well. This is Sweet E's Blue Ice Lace Up Front Dress, which comes in standard mesh sizes. Did you notice the lovely detail of the laces in the front being the same texture/pattern as the skirt fabric? Awesome!


This next prize is several looks in one, thanks to a handy HUD with 6 texture options. It is called Sweet E's Beach Dress Pink Collection with HUD and there are 3 mesh sizes (XXS-S, M, L/XL) since it is a loose fit. The texture choices vary from pale to popping shades of pink, in various patterns as well, so there is something to suit many tastes and moods.


Sometimes we really need a great manicure to add something special to our outfits, and tonight I am delighted to show you the LIVIA Spring Glitter Nails which you can find at the APPLIQUE Event. You will want to hurry since the event ends on the 30th, and you do not want to miss this gorgeous set of nails! The HUD features 8 colors with a beautiful dose of glitter on each, and this HUD works with Slink, Omega, Maitreya, Vista, and Tuty so your favorite hands should be compatible. Just $89L and an irresistible bargain! The LIVIA mainstore link is in the side bar as usual (I am one of their proud official bloggers) and the link for the event is in the end credits.

Today was the kind of day that makes me want to suggest to everyone to surprise someone with a hug, because you never know who may need one very badly. It doesn't have to be a random stranger, friends and family deserve reminders that we care. Tomorrow I get my mop of hair trimmed and colored, both of which it needs desperately. I hope you all have a terrific day, magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

More Glitter from Free Dove Hunt

Hiya everyone! Tonight is part 2 of the GLITTER goodies from the Free Dove mini hunt, but these are the ones to be found at the GLITTER mainstore rather than at Free Dove itself. Two are set for the Free Dove group so you'll need to wear that free tag to click and claim those, while the other two are set for the Glitter store group which is also free to join. I know it's a bit confusing and that is why I am making sure to let you know which is which :) They are very useful, generous gifts and are worth the bit of effort to join the groups and change tags, you know by now that I wouldn't be sharing them if I didn't feel they were something you would appreciate. Free Dove has so much to see that it gets fairly laggy for me, I admit, but I persist each month because I always find amazing gifts!


This first outfit is hiding in a red rose at the Glitter main store and is set for the Free Dove group tag to claim. It's called Glitter Mely Fitmesh Outfit and comes in 8 fitmesh sizes, including Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink. It is a single piece with the look of two, for easier wearing, and that vibrant red looks so striking against the black pants. 


Another sweet casual look can be found in the other red rose at Glitter's main store that you can claim with the Free Dove group tag. This is Denali Mesh Outfit Pink, and the top and jeans are each provided in standard mesh sizes. I love the colors, and the style of the top is a fun choice for this nice warmer weather.


If you are in the GLITTER store group (free to join), you can claim this beauty from one of the red roses hidden in the store while wearing their tag. It is called Cannes Fitmesh Blue, and can serve double duty as either a short dress or a long tunic if you add your favorite jeans/pants/leggings underneath. It is included in what I call the lucky 13 of mesh sizes: 5 standard, 5 fitmesh, Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink, and I hope you can see the ties beneath the sleeves and from the waist. They are the same lush blue as the main material, with bright yellow ends, photos do not quite do them justice it seems but they add some visual interest. The embroidery and beadwork by the neckline is just breathtaking, too!


One last look for the evening, this duo of dresses can be found inside the other red rose that is set for the Glitter group. It holds standard mesh sizes each of Lilith Mesh Minidress Soft Pink, in anthracite as seen on the left and pink glitter on the right. I truly adore both versions and was so excited to see that they are both provided. Just throw on your favorite black heels and you're ready to hit the town! You could get away with very few accessories and still look very dressy, thanks to the fun textures.

I am hoping tomorrow is a much better day, since this one had too much stress and unpleasant surprises. I have lots to do in the next few days, so it would be nice to feel better too. Hope you're all having a beautiful day/evening, magical magpie hugs to each of you!!

Free Dove Glitter

Hiya everyone! Tonight I have some prizes to show you from one of the mini hunts at Free Dove, this one being the red roses to seek out from GLITTER. This month they seem to have changed things up a bit for the Free Dove hunts, as you will need to be in the store's group (free to join) to claim the prizes. For the GLITTER mini hunt, there 10 red roses to find but this time they are not all at Free Dove; a few are hidden at the Glitter main store and two of those needed the Free Dove tag while two others were set for the Glitter group. For tonight's post, I am just showing you the ones that you can find at Free Dove and with the Free Dove group tag on. 


This first dress is the GLITTER Jerry Couture Dress Roses, and includes standard mesh sizes. The lovely pattern actually reminds me of those red roses we are searching for, and the ruffled collar is very pretty.


Maybe you are more in the mood for a skirt and blouse set, well this prize called Miyake Mesh Outfit in White/Black is a lucky find. The flowing backless top and snowy white maxi skirt are each included in standard mesh sizes. You could easily dress this up with your favorite jewelry and shoes to add some color or keep it neutral.


In this prize, I am shining bright like a sapphire ;) Not a diamond, more colorful! This is the GLITTER Deep Blue Passion Mesh Dress, which is included in standard mesh sizing. The color is gorgeous and so is the sequined texture on the bodice.


One last look of the evening, this prize is called INES Mesh dress Rusty, and has an alluring and unusual style. This flattering frock comes in standard mesh sizes, and is yours if you click the right hidden red rose with your Free Dove tag active. That texture is as stunning as the style, well worth finding. All of tonight's poses are from Verocity, but this particular one is one of 6 plus mirrors (so total of 12) from the Hello Tuesday offer called Candice that will be just $25L as soon as the clock strikes midnight in SL. This is a 50% savings from its full price, and I cannot stress how useful having the mirror poses available has been to me. This is called Candice 3M so it is a mirrored pose. The link for their Hello Tuesday location is in the credits, main store is in the column on the right :)

My day was hectic thanks to an early appointment and several errands after, nothing bad just extra busy. I hope today was a good one for all of you, magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Parental Guidance Suggested

Hiya everyone! The title of this blog post is a reference to the current Fish 4 This set at Sn@tch, and it is aptly named Parental Guidance Suggested. This clever set has 23 pieces to fish for (7 Seas rod, for sale there along with many other locations, an excellent investment) which include 6 sweatshirts and 6 skirts which are each bagged with several sizes: Belleza Freya, Belleza Isis, Belleza Venus, Maitreya, Slink Hourglass, Slink Physique, and a Fitmesh for classic avatars. There are also stockings with garters in 3 colors, system layers plus an Omega applier, stomper boots (each boot, shoe shape, and alpha layer are separate catches), awesome hair in two mesh sizes, and even a bag with black makeup in Omega and system layers inside. Plenty to fish for, but I am afraid there are only a few days remaining until the bi-weekly changing out of the fishing set, so I suggest bringing friends and swapping your extras to complete the set. This blog is rated PG for adult language ;) No nudity, no violence, just fun with colorful language.


I started with the Sn@tch PG Sweatshirt in Parental Advisory on the left, Crosses on the right, and paired them with the Sn@tch PG Mini Skirt in Unholy on the left, and Seafoam Plaid on the right. Matching the crosses shirt with the unholy skirt seems obvious, yet I wanted to mix things up as much as possible for you :) The hair you see is part of the fishing set, Sn@tch Candie Hair in White, which includes 2 mesh sizes and have playful ponytails and wispy long bangs. She has released many terrific hair styles lately, so I do suggest taking a peek while you are there fishing.


Here you can see the PG Sweatshirt in Unicorn, and this mythical miss has a bit of an attitude ;) I can't blame her sometimes! With it I am wearing the PG Mini Skirt in Peach Plaid, which has a similar color palette as the sweatshirt. I also added the Sn@tch Psycho Choker, a pretty round charm dangling from a bold leather choker. The pink and purple go well with the selection of sweatshirts from the fishing set, along with anything your imagination leads you to wearing it with.


I am still rocking that great choker here, along with the PG Sweatshirt in Bunny and the PG Mini Skirt in Pink Dots. The bunny made me chuckle because it has that twisted but cute vibe that I enjoy so much. I am also enjoying the Sn@tch Drippy Garters & Stockings in Pink here, I used the Omega HUD (it offers all 3 colors from the set) but they are also in a system layer. Another fine addition here is the Sn@tch Danger Stomper Boots in Skull, as they do have a bow-topped skull on the top of each toe area. I think of her as Hello Skully ;) They are a perfect addition to these outfits or anything else in your wardrobe that needs a little kick.


I did mention that the stockings are in other colors, well this is a good look at our Drippy Stockings & Garters in Blue. They are being worn beneath the PG Sweatshirt in Weird, and the PG Mini Skirt in Blue Plaid. I had fun mixing various blues, but when you catch all these pieces you get to match the various pieces however you prefer. 


I used the facial AO HUD that came with my GA.EG Barbara Bento Head to have fun with a potential reaction to this sweatshirt, hehe, but more importantly show you a closer look at the makeup that is part of our set. This is the Sn@tch PG Makeup Omega Applier in black, but don't worry if you do not have a mesh head because there is a system tattoo layer provided as well. Shiny black lips, dramatic black liner, it is a terrific look for all of this fun clothing. My shirt here is the PG Sweatshirt in Fuck Off, and I paired it with the PG Mini Skirt in Stripe. The Sn@tch Drippy Stockings & Garters in Violet are a wonderful match for the skirt and shirt, and those Stomper Boots complete the look very well.

I had gotten a late start fishing for this round, so I didn't even complete this set until yesterday and that was with Xan's patient help (thanks again as usual ♥ ) which is what makes me think to suggest teamwork in completing these collections. I used to wind up with partial sets where I would be missing just a piece or two, and probably have random spare parts from sets that are 2+ years old that I never quite finished. If you are in their group, don't hesitate to ask there if you need a bit of help, there are very generous people there who might have what you need. 

It was a peaceful day here since I didn't have to go anywhere, and I am almost done watching Stranger Things and wondering why I waited so long to start! I've had netflix for ages, but I am not the one in the household who usually uses it so I think this may only be the second thing I've ever watched from it...I have just one episode left and then I'll be eagerly awaiting season 2 on Halloween like many of you I'm sure. The acting is really exceptional, particularly from such young actors, and I appreciate that it's set in the 80s without being gimmicky about it. I hope all of you had a wonderful weekend, and that the week ahead brings plenty of reasons to smile. Magical magpie hugs to all!!

Flirty and Free

Hiya everyone! Tonight I have just a few more prizes to share from the Womenstuff Hunt, which has just over a week remaining for you to find all the hidden red t-shirts you wish from 150 different stores. The website will guide you with hints and landmarks in case you decide to skip any locations, and hopefully this month I have given you glimpses of enough various prizes to help you decide to give it a try.


This dress is terrific for the weekend, or any time at all. It is the prize from Gypsy Chic called Strap Slim Dress Jeans Basic and wait until you see the range of sizes included: 5 classic, 5 fitmesh, 5 busty, Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink. The strappy style in the back is adorable, and I love the idea of revealing my back and showing some leg but not cleavage, so it is flirty but still has a comfy feel.


Lady in red...this alluring dress should come with a warning label that it could make someone's heart race! It is our prize from I.M. Collection and comes in a fitmesh size along with Hourglass, Lara, and Slink sizes. The tiny polka dots are a playful touch, and how wild is this deep navel-baring neckline?


If you crave another ravishing red choice, head to @AdReNaLiZeD@ to find their hidden t-shirt, which contains this gorgeous Juliet Red dress in a fitmesh size for classic avis along with eBody, Belleza Freya, Belleza Isis, Belleza Venus, Maitreya, Slink Hourglass, and Slink Physique versions. There are many details to catch the eye, sheer panels and lace trim add visual interest. I paired this with the very versatile shoes from Sevyn East, their LA Heels in TMP, Maitreya, and Slink sizes. They include a terrific HUD that offers 8 color choices each for 3 different sections of the shoe...the lower straps across the toes (pink in the inset), upper main straps and back section (purple in inset), and the sole/heel which is seen as blue in the inset. With plenty of combinations possible, you can match this to your favorite outfits and add a dash of color to each of them.


One last look of the evening, this is our prize from Luziefee and is called Street Hunt. This casual cutie has a lot of components, starting with the lace shirt in two versions (sheer on the left, solid on the right) in standard sizes plus a fitmesh version for each. Also included are the pants in standard mesh sizes, the bra that peeks through the sheer shirt in system layers and an Omega HUD, and the Jenny Bow for the neck. Just think of all the ways you can wear this, leaving the bow off or wearing a different shirt beneath from your inventory or even trying it out with your favorite skirt instead. As I have said before, the only limit is your own imagination.

Busy but fun day here, I hope yours was a good one as well. I have a few different things on the horizon to share next, but I hope you have enjoyed my Womenstuff hunt coverage and are ready to move onto other adventures with me :) There is always something else to see and explore in SL, one of the many reasons I love it. Magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
