Free Dove Hunt - Virtue

Hiya everyone! Tonight we have another Free Dove mini hunt to explore, the lovely red roses (blooms on long stems) of Virtue, who have hidden 7 at Free Dove and 3 back at their main store. The peeks this evening are from the ones at Free Dove, and these dresses and blouse/skirt pairings are all more modest than typical SL clothing. As you will see, that is not a bad thing in any way, and I appreciate the variety. In a world where you can teleport from a nude beach to a museum, then to a ski resort, then a church all in a short while, it makes sense to have different types of clothing for each :) Free Dove is a wonderful resource for finding a wardrobe to suit any activity without draining your linden balance, and these hunts are the cherry on top. I also have a new release from LIVIA to show you, the nails I am sporting in all of tonight's photos.

First we get to look pretty in pink by finding roses #6 and 7, which hold this lovely skirt and layered blouse. The top is Virtue FDH 6 Blouse, in sizes for standard, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP. The skirt is Virtue FDH 7 Skirt, which is included in standard, Venus, Maitreya, and Physique sizing. They are a perfect match if you wish to wear them together, but you can also mingle them with anything already in your wardrobe to create your own style if you prefer. I love the delicate shading and soft texture.

This deep mauve beauty is the Virtue FDH 4 Dress, and is found inside rose #4 as the name implies. It has the look of a blouse and high waisted skirt layered together, but it is a single mesh piece in standard sizes. The sleeves and collar made me think Victorian, although I am pretty sure my mom had a blouse that style in the late 60s or early 70s (we have been looking through tons of old photos lately) so I would certainly call this style timeless.

Sky blue is another flattering color for many occasions, and is an ideal backdrop for a subtle paisley print on prize #5 called Virtue FDH 5 Dress. It comes in standard mesh sizes along with Maitreya, Physique, and Venus versions, and I think that square neckline is the perfect frame for your favorite necklace.

Roses 8 and 9 work quite well together as you can see, offering this blouse and skirt as the prizes when you find them. Virtue FDH 8 Blouse is included in standard mesh sizes plus eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic fine versions, and is a soothing shade of green. The skirt is Virtue FDH 9 Skirt and comes in standard, Maitreya, Venus, and Physique sizes. I am thinking some classic black heels and simple gold or silver jewelry will suit this, or something with jade or emeralds to really highlight the green in the top.

This is one of LIVIA's newest releases at their main store, their Amore Nails Applier HUD for Slink, Omega, Maitreya, Vista, and Tuty. The HUD is just $99L and offers 6 colors ranging from lavender to a brick red, all with a sweet outline of the top of a heart by the cuticle. These will look fantastic on stiletto shaped nails as well as being adorable on my traditional Slink nails. Choose any shade and your nails will have a touch of romance and plenty of shine. 

My computer seems to be doing well after my big hardware upgrade, so I am very grateful and relieved that despite the delay, it is working out to be a good decision. I enjoyed my extended weekend, but am glad to be blogging again too :) I hope you are all having a fantastic day/evening, magical magpie hugs to each and every one of you!!
