Hiya everyone! Tonight it is my pleasure to show you the newest Fish 4 This set from Sn@tch, called Love Yourself. There are 23 pieces to fish for, and they include a beautiful blouse and a long flowing skirt each in 6 different colors, plus a necklace and matching earrings to accessorize with. Also among the many fishing items are lovely eye makeup and two shades of lipgloss, each a system layer and there is an Omega HUD that has all 3 makeup options on it. Even the hair I am wearing is part of the set, in two size and with a HUD for 6 color choices. I was so excited when I read in the notecard that Ivey was in a Boho/hippie mood when creating this set, and she certainly did not disappoint! So grab your 7 Seas fishing rod, or pick one up there for $100L for the casual rod that doesn't use bait, and catch yourself some hot new clothing! The items are all transferable so you can swap with friends/alts/whomever to collect them faster, and I once again have Xan ♥ to thank for his assistance :) Oh and don't forget those lucky boards while you are there, just refilled last week with new goodies.
I started with the Sn@tch Tawny Floral Top in Yellow on the left and Violet on the right, each of which have system layers and an Omega HUD (that has all 6 shades on one HUD) as part of the fishing set. The skirts are called Sn@tch Love Yourself Skirt in yellow on the left and violet on the right, and each color is bagged with sizes for standard, Belleza Freya, Belleza Isis, Belleza Venus, Maitreya, Slink Hourglass, Slink Physique, and TMP.
Here you see both the Tawny Floral Top and the Love Yourself Skirt in pink, and I tinted the Sn@tch Victoria Hair a darker shade here. The two sizes of hair are each separate catches, and the HUD is a third, but I found both sizes to fit me pretty well. I'm really pleased that Ivey is offering hair at Sn@tch lately.
The lush waves of the Victoria Hair look pretty in brunette as well, and I am wearing the Tawny Floral Top in Beige here with the Love Yourself Skirt in black. I also added the Sn@tch Love Yourself Necklace, and appreciate the intricate beauty of the silverwork.
Here we have our Tawny Floral Top in Black, paired with the Love Yourself Skirt in Khaki, and am enjoying a blonde tone from the hair HUD. Another new addition for this photo is one of our lip glosses, the Sn@tch Love Yourself Lipgloss in Taupe. It looks striking with this skirt color, but will look just as pretty with all of them I'm sure.
One final look of the evening, I have switched hairs to a Truth Hair so you can see the Sn@tch Love Yourself Earrings which were hiding behind our beautiful fishing prize hair. The earrings are a delightful match for the necklace, and the jewelry is perfectly framed by the neckline of the Tawny Floral Top in Aqua. I am also wearing the Love Yourself Skirt in Aqua, and added the Love Yourself Eye Makeup in Rose as well as the Love Yourself Lipgloss in Rose. I enjoy having a little pop of color in my makeup from time to time, and these are very flattering shades.
I hope you are all having a good day/evening, and that your weekends were fun and relaxing or whatever you needed. Magical magpie hugs to each of you!!

Hiya everyone! Tonight is part two of the wonderful prizes from the FABOO Style Central Hunt, where you will be exploring a shopping area and a beachy residential area seeking sand piles with treasure chests on top of them. There are 30 for the ladies and 10 for the gents, a generous variety of summer clothing and a few other goodies like a gift card for FABOO. You will need to have their free group tag active to claim the prizes, and pick up a notecard at the starting location for hints to all the treasure chests. I wound up simply exploring the outer edges of the sim and working my way around, and that is how I found the beachside caves mentioned in the hints. I truly enjoyed my exploration, and the prizes are amazing so I highly recommend taking some time out of your weekend before the hunt ends on the 31st.
This patriotic swimsuit is prize #17 and called Key West Bikini - USA. The top and bottom each include sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique, and there is a HUD with both textures shown for each piece. There are also buttons labeled % that let you adjust the transparency of each part, so if you wish to make one or both slightly see-through you can do so with a couple of clicks. I left them both full opacity here. There is another prize that contains this same style in a different texture/color combination, as is the case with several of the mesh bikinis from yesterday, so if you see a swimsuit you like but aren't certain about the colors there is a strong chance you will find it in a pattern you prefer.
There are plenty of different styles of bikinis to be found in this hunt, and here you can see prize #19, String Bikini - Exotic, which includes an Omega HUD for the bikini itself along with bows for back, breast, and hips. I was able to edit and adjust the positions of the bows very easily, and I enjoyed the bright colors of this pretty bikini.
This beauty is found inside treasure chest #20, and is named Maui Bikini - Mexico. It includes an Omega HUD as well as the bows for back, breast, neck, and hips, with a tied version (shown) for the hips instead of a bow. I find this to be a very flattering look, both the colors and the style, so I am glad I discovered this one. As a general hint, I saw the water tower mentioned on the notecard for this prize but not how to get there, but hovering over the treasure chest said to sit on the water tower. It let me sit inside for a fascinating view, and upon standing I dropped down to a walkway that I hadn't seen from above. Clever landscaping is in play here :)
Here we see another striking bikini from chest #21 called Wrap Bikini - Watercolors, an Omega HUD and bows for the back, neck, and big hip bows that you can wear or leave off, depending on your preferences. The colors and pattern remind me of the ones on the sandals I am wearing with them, prize #25 called Havana Heels - Chico. They are a perfect fit for my Slink High feet and include a HUD that offers 5 colors for the base, 4 for the strings, and 5 for the foot base. The colors are mostly neutrals to offset the bright pattern very nicely.
I left the bikini bottom on from the previous gift to show you this wonderful breezy tank top from prize #29 called Crop Top Faboo Classic. Inside you will find the top in standard mesh sizes plus Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink, along with a HUD for 20 different texture choices. I am showing just 3 of that wide range of options, there are plenty of prints and a couple of solids to suit your mood. I deeply appreciate the versatility of texture HUDs, since my inventory is already a bit crowded after nearly 10 years.
It was a fun and busy day, with the predicted storms mostly avoiding us. The most I encountered was a light drizzle, much preferred over the lightning and flooding that was initially in the forecast. The French chef at the farmers market had ratatouille this week, and wow, was it tasty! It was very popular so I'm sure she will offer it again soon. I hope all of you are having a splendid weekend, magical magpie hugs to each of you!!

Hiya everyone! I just found out this morning about a sim-wide hunt called FABOO Style Central Hunt, and even though it ends in a few days (the 31st) I decided that the free prizes were worth the regrettably short notice I'm giving all of you for this one. I do apologize, but I also have confidence that you can manage to complete this hunt in a relatively short time :) You will need the FABOO group tag (free to join) active to claim the prizes, and there are 30 for the ladies and 10 for the men so I suggest bringing your favorite male avatars as well. Please click the sign to get the hint notecard, which will guide you to finding the piles of sand with a treasure chest atop each one, the mens' are darker color chests so you can differentiate easily. You will be wandering a beautiful residential area as well as around some stores, and the prizes are in the open rather than hiding beneath things or up high, so no flying or camming skills needed. In the shopping area, please explore all walkways and wander behind the stores. In the residential areas, please don't enter any homes and stick to your hints as they are very effective. Ready for peeks at a random selection of the wonderful prizes?
The treasure chests and the beach areas might put you in mind of summery treats, and this bathing suit from prize #2 will certainly do the same! This is called Rio Unikini - Lexi and consists of the suit in sizes for Maitreya, Slink Hourglass, Slink Physique, TMP, and a fitted version, along with a HUD that offers 7 choices for each the top and bottom: the print shown and 6 coordinating solid colors. The first prize was this same suit in different colors and print, so if you enjoy this one I suggest finding that first one as well.
More terrific colors and patterns to be found inside prize #4, their Belize Bikini in Waikiki Pink. In addition to the top and bottom in standard, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizes each, there is a HUD to change each part between the fun print and the solid pink. This style is a very playful one, with the extra openings but still not overly revealing, and that single shoulder strap is a great touch.
I am such a fan of this style, probably at least in part because it would be so impractical in RL (tan lines, 10 minutes just to tie it correctly) that its perfect ease in SL is a welcome treat. This is called Puerto Rico Bikini - Cinco and is tucked inside treasure chest #5, in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine. Also provided is a handy HUD with 4 textures for the top and bottom, so you can mix and match or keep it simple.
Even on a tropical vacation, we do occasionally need clothing other than beachwear, so be sure to find prize #7 if you are a fan of this Tee Dress C6. It comes in standard mesh sizes plus Belleza Freya, Belleza Isis, Belleza Venus, Maitreya, Slink Hourglass, and Slink Physique, plus a HUD with both texture choices you see here - solid pink or the pretty pink and blue pattern on the right. The slightly loose fit and ever so subtly draped neckline give this dress an extra touch, in fantastic summer colors.
Sometimes on vacation, you encounter a slightly chilly day or evening, so what to wear if you still want to show off your lovely legs? Find treasure chest 9 and you can solve that problem very easily :) This is the Cozy Sweater Dress Valentine and includes what I call the lucky 13 of mesh sizes: 5 standard, 5 fitmesh, Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink. But wait, there's more! There is also a HUD with 9 color choices, various shades of red and pink as you may expect from the Valentine name. As you can see, this lush knit works for any season, not just Cupid's visiting time.
One last look of the evening, this is prize #10 and is called Fiji Dress - Lanai Prints, and comes in standard mesh sizes. What is definitely not standard is the versatile included HUD, which offers 6 stunning patterns, each with the option of an open chest or closed bodice area. As you can see, I have it closed on the left and open on the right. So you can decide if you want to show some cleavage, or just enjoy the slits in the skirt which are there for both styles. I must say, this dress fit my Maitreya body very well, which is not always a guarantee with standard mesh sizing, so I was extra delighted by that stroke of luck on top of the beauty of this dress.
There are still plenty more prizes to see from this hunt, so I believe that sums up my weekend blog plans pretty nicely :) There are also some group gifts in the FABOO store that you can claim with that free group tag, so I will be sharing them soon as well. I do hope all of you have a wonderful weekend planned, magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Hiya everyone! While searching for some group gifts to show you, I realized it had been a while since I shared any of the many generous treats awaiting at MH Unique for various inworld groups. The store has its own group which is free to join, with a section of group gifts at the back (south) wall of the store, and then upstairs there are an array of gifts for several other groups. Tonight I am showing you some MGSN group gifts and then some store group gifts as samples of the many available. Just one stop, upstairs and downstairs in the same lovely store.
This first dress is called MH Gina Dress Gift, and comes in 8 fitmesh sizes including standard, Belleza, and Maitreya. It is a gift for the MGSN (Maitreya Gifts Sales and News) group, so the link is directly to its location upstairs.
Another sexy gift for the MGSN group is this bodysuit called MH Ariana Body Applier. It comes in Omega and Maitreya appliers (sorry, no system layers) and features adorable bows, cheerful stars, and a revealing back, all in warm pink.
Two more gifts for the MGSN group, the top is MH Top Applier and includes system layers along with Belleza, Maitreya, and Omega HUDs. The loosely laced neckline and simple black color mean this shirt will go with just about anything, including the other gift I'm wearing. The jeans are MH Jeans Black&Blue Applier, and include Omega and Maitreya appliers only for both colors. These are such a wardrobe staple, but with so many possibilities (variations in texture, shades, high or low rise, leg length) it is very helpful to have this pair on offer as a generous gift.
If you turn around and head downstairs (escalators) then turn back around to face south again, you will see the section of group gifts that are for the MH Unique store group. There are a couple dozen, some of which I have shown in the past, with new ones added occasionally as well. This fun t-shirt dress called MH Dress Black is back 69 is one of them, in several fitmesh sizes including standard, Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink. The contrast of the white stripes and numbering are an enjoyable sporty look.
One last look of the evening, this is MH Anary Dress Gift and includes plenty of mesh sizes for all: fitmesh standard, Belleza Freya, Belleza Isis, Belleza Venus, eBody, Maitreya, Slink Hourglass, Slink Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine. The dramatic houndstooth pattern is very eye-catching, and the short hemline with slit on the right hip makes this suitable as a tunic as well, if you add your favorite tights beneath. This another of the many gifts for the MH Unique store group, so it is found downstairs.
I hope you are all enjoying your day/evening, chin up because the weekend is almost here :) Magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Hiya everyone! I have found even more SLF&O group gifts to share with you, so be sure to keep that free group tag active so you can claim these beauties for yourself as well. Some of these group tags act as all-access passes to unlock free gifts at so many stores, from a wide array of designers, so they are well worth the group slot to join and stay in the group. This is definitely one of those!
Our first stop is Loud Rebel Design, where you can pick up the lovely LRD Gown Astrid Gift. It is included in standard mesh sizes plus a fitted size, along with Belleza Freya, Belleza Isis, Belleza Venus, Maitreya, Slink Hourglass, and Slink Physique versions. The style is very alluring, with the subtle train and the curvy shape. I look considerably more busty with this dress on, I even adjusted my hair to fit better over my new curves.
The next place for us to visit is AnaMarkova, where you can find two SLF&O group gifts at the present time. This is their Kasia Onyx Lace outfit, strappy top and belted skirt each in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique. These make an excellent pairing, and that leather texture on the skirt is particularly top notch.
The other gift from AnaMarkova is a pairing as well, their Jett Harness/Chain Dress LaRose. The dress is laced up the sides so it is quite revealing, and the chain harness drapes down the front then beneath the breasts. Each piece comes in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizes.
Our final stop of the evening is AsHmOoT, where you will find their Ling Coll Lace Bralette & Slip, which is also called a band slip on the appliers but I think of them as almost boyshorts style panties. They are provided in system layers as well as Maitreya, Slink, and Omega HUDs for your favorite mesh bodies. They look both sexy and comfortable at the same time, an interesting feat for sure, and I really like the deep blue color.
I am still sporting the Truth Hair offering at Uber called Margarita tonight, with the flower accessory for the left side (right is also included, as is a HUD with 9 colors to tint the flowers) and I have played with the Stylist HUD more in tonight's post as you can tell. Hair tucked behind the ears or loose in front, and each side can be in front or behind the shoulder. The long waves are just gorgeous, and the versatility offered by the Stylist HUD and accessories makes this a must-have for me. I can never resist Truth's styles though, as you can tell :)
I hope you are all enjoying your day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to each of you!!

Hiya everyone! Tonight I have some more group gifts to show you, this time from the SL Frees & Offers (SLF&O) group, which is free to join and a very handy resource for information about bargains in SL along with gifts from a wide variety of designers. I am actually featuring just two of those designers tonight, Precious Designs and Rowena's Designs, who share a building and a fondness for color/texture HUDs in their clothing. Those are a terrific way to add many colors to your wardrobe without making your inventory burst with extra items in each separate texture, and I am a huge fan of those HUDs. While you are visiting to pick up your SLF&O group gifts, please be sure to check the lucky boards, mini manias, and Midnight Manias which are all on that same wall as the gifts. You will not leave empty handed, and with a little luck you may wind up with even more treats than you expected.
This first look is two gifts from Precious Designs, their *PD* Happy Happy Days Dress which I have paired with the matching Happy Happy Days Heels, gift #2 of the 4 currently offered to the SLFO group. The dress comes in standard mesh sizes plus Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Slink Hourglass, and Slink Physique versions, and a HUD is included with 5 different colors to choose from. The shoes are provided in Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink high sizes, with a HUD offering 5 colors that match the ones from the dress. The bold pattern on the dress is balanced by the simplicity of the shoes, in solid dark colors that coordinate perfectly with the dress or maybe your favorite outfit already in your inventory.
Two more treasures await the SLFO Group members in the Precious Designs group gift area, this stunning *PD* Feels So Different Gown and the matching *PD* Feels So Different Heels. Our dramatic dress includes sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Slink Hourglass, and Slink Physique in addition to 5 standard sizes, plus a HUD with 5 shades with which to tint the gown. The shoes peeking out from beneath are in Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink high sizes, along with a HUD to choose from 5 textures that match the gown. They combine to make a very elegant ensemble for your next night out.
Rowena's Designs have a couple of casual gifts for the SLFO group, starting with this adorable {RS} Ann Marie Top & Jeans. It is actually a single mesh piece rather than separates, and comes in 5 standard and 5 fitted mesh sizes along with eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine versions. There is also a HUD included with 6 color choices, adding to the versatility of this cute little number.
For our last look of this evening, I am wearing a gift called {RS} Leena Tube Top & Pants, a casual and sassy look that I am certainly enjoying. Each piece is included in 5 fitted mesh sizes plus eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, Tonic Fine, and TMP versions. There is a HUD provided as well, 6 colors for each the top and the pants, so I was able to tint them both red on the left while mixing a black top with deep purple pants on the right. I love the textures of both materials, they look like they would be heavenly to touch.
Hair note of the night: Uber opened last night at Midnight SL time, and Truth Hair released this amazing offering called Margarita in all his new textures and with a Stylist HUD that has 8 different versions - each side tucked behind the ears, each side in front of or behind the shoulders, etc. Also included but not shown, a sweet pair of flowers for each side of the hair, giving this a hippie/Boho feeling that I greatly appreciate. You may be wondering about those bangs I suddenly sprouted halfway through the photos, those are not part of this hair but actually one of several versions included in a VIP group gift that was sent shortly after the July monthly gift. There was another gift of these same bangs styles previously, this is the update with the new color HUDs to coordinate with his newer releases perfectly. I have had bangs in RL for longer than I care to admit, LOL, most of my life really, and thought these would add a sweet touch to this particular hairstyle. Obviously the hair is gorgeous without the added bangs too, and I was extra fortunate to get into Uber on my first try. Each color set is $250L (fatpack and variety are more of course) so it is discounted while it is at the event.
We are still in the midst of a heatwave here, with occasional thunderstorms, but I did see two adorable baby deer in the backyard earlier so that always makes me happy. I hope all of you are having a terrific day/evening, magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Hiya everyone! Tonight I couldn't resist showing you some FabFree group gifts, that is short for Fabulously Free in SL which is the name of both an inworld group and an amazing blog that I have been a fan of for many years. They have many designers who offer gifts especially for the members of the FabFree group, as I have shown before from time to time, and I noticed there have been several new gifts lately so the timing seemed right. The group is free to join, and definitely will always have one of my precious group slots :) I know how hard it can be to juggle that limited space, believe me. Another treat I am excited to share is a set of nails from LIVIA, their exclusive offering at the SCALA Yin/Yang Event. I recently featured a free gift from there, and tonight I am showing you the one that is for sale. Both are delightful!
First we have a beautiful gown from irrISIStible that has some special additions. It is called Free Evening Summer Dress + 2 Colors HUD, and also includes a prim belt and headpiece (shown on the right) that also have two different color options on that same HUD. The gown comes in several mesh sizes: XS, M, L, Fitted, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Slink Hourglass, Slink Physique, and TMP. The floral belt and headpiece are ideal as separates since you can wear both, one or neither, to suit your mood or personal tastes.
If you need something pretty but a bit more casual, please head to MONOMANIA where you will find the Bubba Green gift, a bright top and skirt each in sizes for standard, Fitted, Maitreya, and Slink. They go very nicely with another FabFree gift, the BlackRose Flat Sandals in Salmon. These bejeweled strappy sandals come in versions for Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink flat, each in beige soles as shown along with black soled varieties. I really do appreciate a nice versatile sandal, and there are plenty of summery outfits in my wardrobe that will benefit greatly from this gift.
Time to get dressed up again, we visit Nala Design for this vivid *ND* Brenda Pixie outfit. The top and skirt are each provided in standard mesh sizes, and also included are the bracelets for the right wrist and the high heels for Slink high feet. I love these colors together, and definitely appreciate this gift.
Sometimes we all really need something pretty to wear beneath all this lovely clothing, and if you wear your FabFree group tag while visiting Brandy's Boutique, they will happily provide their BB Hot George Bra & Pantie set as a gift. When you land, please head west (I do keep my mini map open while exploring places to help provide clear directions) and then head upstairs in that building where you will find the gift vendor...pay $1L and have it instantly refunded. The bra and panties include system layers along with an applier HUD for Belleza, Lena, Maitreya, Slink, and Omega. Details always matter to me, and I love the dangling star from the bra that is part of the texture :) I added a gorgeous jewelry set from Beloved Jewelry, their gift for Fab Free group members is called Red Gem Station Set and includes the necklace in two versions, with and without resize script, plus matching earrings that my hair is hiding. The gold links hold gems of red, pink, and white, a very eye catching combination I must say. Their jewelry is always well crafted, with great use of color and shape to provide classic or modern looks.
One last look of the evening, this is a better look at those nails from LIVIA mentioned in my intro and that you have seen quick peeks of in each photo. They are called Crescent Sun Nails and are just $129L for the set, found only at the SCALA Yin/Yang Event until the 31st of July. The HUD offers 8 different designs, all of which you can see on various fingers here, and there are tabs on the HUD for Slink, Omega, Maitreya, and Vista. I love the inclusion of both sun and moon in the designs, it is a clever take on the yin/yang theme, and plan on coming up with many different looks with accent nails and mixtures of these terrific designs. The LIVIA mainstore link is in my right sidebar as usual, while the link in my credits is your limo to the SCALA event.
My day was relatively peaceful, although I suspect the rest of my week may not be so quiet. I am definitely happy to be here though, as always, showing you my favorite freebies and special offers in SL. I hope you're all having a nice day/evening, magical magpie hugs to each of you!!
