Women Only Hunt 4

Hiya everyone! Tonight I will be showing prizes from the Women Only Hunt 4, a free gridwide hunt that ends tomorrow so this is a time-sensitive post. The first thing you'll want to do is stop at the hunt office to pick up the free HUD (buy for $0L from a box on the desk) and then add it and open it up...you can click each store's logo to be teleported directly there, and then click the word "hint" beneath each to get a notecard with that store's current hint. You will be searching for snowflakes, just like the one pictured on the HUD, in icy shimmery shades of blue. Just give them a click and receive your free prize, easy peasy :)


It is very appropriate that this beautiful gift is found in a snowflake, the one at LOULOU&CO. It is called Kimono - Fox and has a dusting of pretty flakes all over, with a bright white bow and stunning image of a fox on the back. It is provided in fitmesh standard sizes plus Freya, Isis, Venus, eBody, Maitreya, Ocacin, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine versions. 


Our prize from 1 Hundred is called Love Stinks, which is what the heart on the front of the hoodie says inside it. I think we have all felt that way, and it is a comfy looking outfit for sure. The hoodie and pants are each included in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizes. The stripes down the sides of the pants and the sleeves are a classic touch, as are the strings at the waist and neck.


Something seasonal and sexy awaits inside the flake at FurtaCor, their Arwen Set shown here. It is fully loaded, with the cropped high necked sweater and matching wrap skirt in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique each, and the matching boots for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, and Physique. This is a really fun look, and those boots will go with plenty of other wardrobe items just as nicely.


This distinctively styled dress is our prize from Masoom, their Blair Dress that is labeled Valentine Gift, which makes sense from that hot pink color. The dress itself comes in Freya, Isis, Hourglass, and Maitreya sizes, and there is a HUD included with 11 metal colors to change that trim with a wide range of colors. 


I had a great deal of fun compiling this last look of the evening, starting with the [AB] Snow Dress from American Bazaar, the first stop on our hunt path on the same sim as the hunt office. The dress has sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP, and is short enough to act as a long sweater if you wish to add some leggings or jeans beneath. Next I added the DAZED Fogging Up Glasses, such a fun shape and the lenses do have a frosted texture on them. There is a resize script built in on touch, in case you need to adjust the size to fit your personal preferences. Last but certainly not least, we have a fantastic prize from LIVIA called Snow Royale Nails, which is a HUD with 4 designs and compatible with Maitreya, Slink, Omega, Vista, and Tuty. There is even a manicure mix for Maitreya and Tuty, or you can choose one of the lovely designs individually. Such an attractive way to add an extra festive touch to any outfit, casual or formal. 

My area wound up with a few inches of snow today, and it looked really pretty coming down in big fluffy flakes. Those are easier to deal with too, not too heavy or slushy. The indoor farmers market I usually attend was a ghost town, since some surrounding areas had to contend with icy roads, but one of the vendors was playing music and turned it into a bit of a dance party :) Don't worry, I probably didn't make a fool of myself...much...LOL! It was a good day though, and I hope you all enjoyed yours as well. Magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Peace On Earth is the Tops

Hiya everyone! If you have a favorite new pair of pants or old comfy jeans that you are in the mood to wear, but still need to find just the right top to go with them, tonight's post just might inspire you. I am showing several of the Peace On Earth 10 Hunt prizes that are all various tops that you can pair with any bottoms that suit your mood. I have chosen a classic pair of jeans from the Marketplace from Delizio, a free gift that includes system layers as well as Maitreya and Omega appliers in several colors. They are a Midnight Magpie favorite that have appeared here plenty and will continue to do so. As for the hunt, you just have a couple of days left to find all these globes so please grab your hunting companion/s and get searching! 


On the left I am wearing the prize found at The Style Loft called Peaceful Snowflake Sweater, and it is included in standard mesh sizes plus Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP sizes. The bare shoulders carry over to one shoulder of the next gift, from the globe at {Get Frocked}. This one says Prosecco Ho Ho Ho Ho in sequins, with a pair of inviting bubbly glasses waiting for you. It comes in standard fitmesh sizes as well as Maitreya and Slink fits. If there is a casual New Year celebration in your future, this would be a wonderful choice to wear to toast 2018.


JR Wolf Creations has this lovely tank top called Cailleach in their globe, and thanks to its handy HUD you can wear it in 24 different colors all dusted with pretty snowflakes. The top itself comes in standard mesh sizes plus Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP versions. 


More snowflakes can be found on this comfy cozy sweater from Dark Intentions, called Snowflake Love Hooded Baggy Sweater. The prize includes fitmesh standard sizes plus Freya, Isis, Venus, eBody, Maitreya, Ocacin, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine, and there is a HUD with 10 colors to choose from. 


For those chilly winter evenings when you want to wear something luxuriously warm, just find the globe at StormCrow Design's which holds their Delany Fur Jacket. It is provided in sizes for Belleza Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, and a Fitted version. You could wear this with a skirt to dress it up or keep things casual with your favorite pants. On the right I am enjoying a layered look, courtesy of @rOrO called Peace On Earth Argyle Cardigan and Shirt. That is a single mesh piece for convenience, in sizes for Belleza Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique, with a design on the top that says Peace On Earth in the middle. 


There are just so many terrific sweaters to find in this hunt, and my final look of the evening shows two more examples. On the left we have the NUTS Inc. prize called Britt Sweater [Female], and there is a male version with a buttoned neckline like a polo in the same colors and design. The ladies' gift includes standard, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP sizes. On the right, an irresistible penguin decorates this sweater from REVOLUTION called Christmas Penguin Sweater. It is included in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizes. I still consider it the Christmas season and will happily wear this for a little while.

My weekend is going to be cold, snowy, and busy, but nothing that will take away from my blogging time. It is mostly a normal weekend for me, other than the weather which shouldn't affect my online time. I hope you all enjoy this last weekend of 2017, magical magpie hugs to all of you!!

Peace On Earth Again

Hiya everyone! Tonight I am showing some more prizes from the Peace On Earth 10 Hunt, and there are only a few days left to find all those globes so I hope you got started already :) This is one of my favorite annual hunts, and we certainly do need more peace in the world lately so the name is quite timely. I do suggest having the hunt website open for easy access to landmarks and info on any stores that need to be skipped, probably a good idea with any hunt actually. When you find each globe, it will give you a folder with your free prize and the next landmark to help you along your journey.


First we have our prize from Pretty Kitty Design, their Winter Wonder Top and Skirt with ARCTIC technology. This means it includes a transmitter that allows your clothing (or portions of it, in this case the snowflakes and the lacing on the sleeves) to rotate through 20 different colors or you can click one on the HUD to choose it to stay that shade. The top and skirt are each in standard mesh sizes plus Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Slink Hourglass, Slink Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine fits, so a generous range to suit most bodies. 


This is the Womens POE Gift from Dixie Designs, a fun combination of matching top, pants, and shoes that will wrap you in plaid and poinsettias. The top and pants are each provided in standard, Belleza Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Slink Hourglass, Slink Physique, and TMP sizes. The adorable slippers are in classic, Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink flat sizes, and really pull the look together nicely.


I really enjoyed the Knotted Skater Dress from OMG! Inc., especially since it includes a HUD with 5 different print textures to choose from. The dress is provided in what I call the lucky 13 of mesh sizes: 5 standard, 5 fitmesh, Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink. The style is great for year round wear, so a terrific addition to any wardrobe.


One of the many joys of SL is that just because there is snow in the forecast (or a sim's decorations) does not mean we have to bundle up. It makes all sorts of weather more enjoyable, and I can happily wear this very short, off the shoulder style mini from #bye in the chilliest looking areas. It is simply named PoE Hunt 10 Gift, and includes standard fitmesh sizes plus Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink versions. Those intricately detailed snowflakes are a beautiful touch on the softly colored dress.


Dragonmoon Designs is offering this outfit in their hidden globe, called Winter Love POE Hunt Item. It starts with the strapless mini, trimmed in snowy fur and decorated with flakes and a snow family on the front, in sizes for Belleza, Maitreya, Slink Hourglass, Slink Physique, and standard fitmesh sizes. Then we can add the antlers and the necklace (a collar with bells, much like you might find on a reindeer) if we so desire. This playful look was a fun choice for my final look of the evening.

I will certainly be finishing my year in busy mode, with another family gathering behind me but more plans for the next several days that are sure to keep me hopping. My family used to do a huge New Years Day dinner with a country ham and all sorts of sides and other courses, but it got to be too much hassle so close to Christmas so they stopped a few years back (maybe 5 or 6) and I am actually glad at the moment. It was great to see everyone, and the food was delicious, but sometimes it is better to relax. I have seen everyone who would have been invited either yesterday or two days prior, or both. I hope you're all having a fantastic day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

A Little More Advent Chase Hunting

Hiya everyone! Tonight I return us to the exciting prizes of The Advent Chase Hunt, plenty of treats for everyone in this free gridwide hunt. You will be searching for pretty candles, pink contain female prizes and blue contain male treats, while the pale yellow ones hold either a unisex gift or both male and female goodies. A few stores have multiple candles, so be sure to check the website to see what candle/s you will find at each stop. It is so well organized, which makes it all the more enjoyable for us hunters. I also have some alluring holiday makeup to show you, the exclusive offering from LIVIA at The Darkness monthly event which you still have a few days remaining to visit and enjoy some shopping.


This edgy outfit is our gift from OMG! Inc., their Jenna Top & Pants Set - Leather. It includes the top and pants each in standard sizes plus a fitted mesh version, and a terrific HUD with 7 vest colors, 6 for the pants, and 9 textures for the undershirt. You can really get creative with mixing them however you wish, and there are plenty of fun details like the zippers on the pants and the lacing in the back of the vest. The belts on the vest stay a bold neutral black, to complement whichever colors you choose for the remainder of the look.


Soju has this lovely Advent Chase Dress hiding inside their candle, with sizes for Belleza Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Slink Hourglass, Slink Physique, and TMP. The flurry of flakes on the pattern is brought out even more by the dazzling snowflake on the front of the belt, and I love the sweetheart neckline and cap sleeves on this sleek style.


This delightfully cozy sweater dress is our prize from Twisted Gothly Designs, appropriately called Beautiful Christmas Dress. The soft green layer brings out the subtle green stripes of our pastel plaid neck and skirt, as well as the colors within the image on the front. That image has a fun stitched frame around it, with a banner in the upper left that reads "Have a Beautiful Christmas". It is included in standard sizes as well as Freya, Isis, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique fits. 


There is something so endearing about a classic pajamas set, and Robbie Roo's Whatchamagoos has provided sets for male and female as their gifts for this hunt. I am sporting the Christmas Pajamas for Her above, with shirt and bottoms each in standard, Belleza Freya, Isis, Venus, Slink hourglass, Slink Physique, and TMP. The matching slippers for flat feet are included too, and are adjustable so you can shimmy them onto any mesh or classic feet. 


I did promise a better glimpse and more information about my makeup, and here you can see it all closer. The eyes, lips, and nails are all part of the LIVIA::Candy Drip Beauty Set found at The Darkness event for just $179L. Individually you can purchase the nail HUD for Slink, Maitreya, Omega, Vista and Tuty with 4 designs and a mixed mani for Maitreya and Tuty, for just $99L. Also available, your choice of Catwa, Lelutka, Omega, or Tattoo layers for the eyes and lips in two designs each, for $89L per pack. The candy cane stripes in the eyeshadow are a playful touch, and the solid shades of the nails are perfect for year round wear. The lips have just the right hint of gloss, as do the nails, which gives the colors a beautiful depth. Also worth mentioning since they are very visible in the closer views, my eyes are another Advent gift from Inkheart called Allie Eyes - Blue. They are for day #25 under the tree, and with your free Inkheart group gift you can claim all 25 gifts for free until January 3rd. These have such a pure shade of blue, and like all of their eyes they come in 4 sizes for system, mesh, Omega, and Genesis. 

Quick hair note of the night: Truth Hair released a new style called Halona at this round of Uber, and my addiction brought me there an hour after the round started in the wee hours of the 25th, that's right...Christmas day! I am that weird, LOL, despite all my holiday plans I was determined to give myself a present I guess. I have worn it as an updo in all of tonight's images, but with the included styling HUD you can wear it down too with either side in front of or behind each shoulder, with a gorgeous twist in the back. I always try the demo first, and then wonder why I even needed to since I always just fall for the styles even more when I do. It is so important to try those demos first just in case though, I've made it a firm habit. Not unlike my habit of purchasing just about all of Truth's releases!

It was a really cold day here, and I have been busy getting ready for a holiday visit tomorrow that will prevent me from having time to post on Wednesday. I will be back to blogging on Thursday though, there are still hunt prizes for December to share before the current round of hunts wraps up. Have a beautiful day/evening, and magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Sn@tch On the Shelf

Hiya everyone! Tonight I am delighted to share the current Sn@tch Fish 4 This set, which is called Sn@tch On the Shelf. In order to fish there, you will need a 7 Seas fishing rod (you can purchase one there or anywhere you see the 7 Seas logo) which can be reused indefinitely, and the Sn@tch fishing sets change about every 2 weeks. This set consists of 3 mesh skirts (sizes for standard, Belleza Freya, Isis, Venus, eBody, Maitreya, Slink Hourglass, Slink Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine) and two colors of bodysuit in system layers plus Omega appliers. There are also 2 pairs of thigh high socks (system and Omega), shoes that are unrigged so they are adjustable with short socks built in, a cute hairstyle in 3 colors (built in resize script), elf ears with resize scripts, and matching makeup in system and Omega. Altogether there are 23 pieces to catch, and as always I recommend bringing a friend so you can swap your spare parts since they are all transferable. I had Xan's patient help as usual ♥, at the end of each fishing session he just transfers me a folder full of parts and we keep track jointly of how the collection is coming along. We get to chat and multi-task during our fishing sessions, so it is usually a fun and relaxing way to pass the time. And as you're about to see, I get to look like a very cute sexy elf as a result this time.


This is the alluring Sn@tch On the Shelf Bodysuit in Red, which I am wearing from the Omega applier, with the matching Sn@tch On the Shelf Bodysuit Collar in Red. For my hair, I am enjoying the Sn@tch On the Shelf Hair in Red, a fun asymmetrical cut with bold bangs and one side pulled behind the ear.


 To that bodysuit I have added the Sn@tch On the Shelf Skirt in Candy, and I am wearing the Sn@tch On the Shelf Pumps here too. I even added the Sn@tch On the Shelf Elf Ears, which give a playful look to an already festive outfit.


Next I switched to the Black hair of this set, and added the thigh high Sn@tch On the Shelf Socks in Red, one of the two colors offered on the Omega HUD which are also separate catches as system layers. Then I changed into the Aqua version of our skirt, so I am alternating red and aqua all the way down for a colorful style.


Let's add some matching makeup to this look, courtesy of the Omega HUD but there is also a system makeup layer in the 'waters' to catch. I have also changed into the Aqua bodysuit and the Aqua socks, and provided a rear view so you can see how the bodysuit looks from behind. It is not quite a thong, nor full coverage, and the corset that is a built in part of its texture makes for a flattering style. You can also get a better view of the bows on the back of the shoes this way, a perfect match to the bows on their front.


For the final look, I've added the Red skirt and changed into the White hair, so now you have seen all 3 hairs and all 3 skirt options. I love the variety that is possible with all of the components, and you could easily wear the solid red or aqua year-round without looking like any particular holiday or season. The shoes and socks have candy canes (and the candy version of the skirt) so those are your festive parts. Plenty of ways to style this outfit and mix it up with anything else in your inventory for even greater variety.

Another Christmas has come and gone, and I truly hope all of you who celebrate have had a beautiful holiday. There was a touch of family drama at my celebration, nothing bad but a secret slipped out and shocked people. Not my secret, and it is ultimately good news, so I am surprised rather than upset. Next I have a belated celebration on Wednesday morning with my godparents and their son, which makes for a very busy day and possibly means I will be missing a day of blogging. The holidays are so hectic, it's a good thing they are mostly enjoyable :) I hope you've all had a wonderful day/evening, magical magpie hugs to each of you!!

The Advent Chase Hunt

Hiya everyone! Tonight I have some prizes from The Advent Chase Hunt, which is a free gridwide hunt that involves searching for various colored candles. They have color coded the candles so female prizes are in pink candles, male prizes in blue, and unisex or male/female in same prize are pale yellow. There are pictures of the candles on the website as well as a listing of each store and which color candle to look for, so you can choose to skip stores that aren't offering a relevant prize to your personal avatar. I really enjoy the way this hunt is organized, with such helpful information before you even arrive at each stop. I'm also enjoying those terrific prizes, as you are about to see!


There is a pink candle hiding at Mishmash Fusion, and when you find it you get to claim this lovely Leave in Silence Mini and Heels. The dress comes in standard mesh sizes plus Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizes, while the heels are included in Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink High versions. It always makes me smile to visit there, from the amusing decor to the great quality merchandise. Be sure to check out the lucky chairs and midnight mania boards near the landing zone, you just might leave with extra goodies.


This eye catching ensemble is our prize from Lune Bleue called Queen of Frost Dress. It includes fitted sleeves, a fitted top, ice wings, and the beautiful skirt which is internally lit to show off the winter scene inside, and it poofs snowflakes as you can see. You will need to alpha out the legs of your mesh body, or for classic avatars just wear the alpha layers provided. This is truly a stunning look.


To look ravishing in red, just find the pink candle (there is a blue one too for the guys) at ~MystRie~ and you will find their Stars Dress inside. It is included in standard fitmesh sizes plus Belleza Freya, Isis, Venus, eBody, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP versions. The off the shoulder ruffle is a pretty touch, as is the side slit.


I definitely felt like a princess when I saw myself in this fantastic prize from Sparrow by Design! It is their Gardenia Gown, with lovely flowers scattered on the skirt of the gown as well as part of the soft pattern. It is included in standard fitmesh sizes and a Slink fitmesh size too, and honestly I think it would make a stunning wedding gown. There is a blue candle hidden here too, so bring your favorite male avatars here too.


One last look for the evening, this is our prize from PreCAST Inc. Fashion and is called LeeLou Skull Edition outfit. The jacket and skirt each come in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP sizes, while the tank top beneath is an Omega applier. If you do not have an Omega-compatible mesh body, I'm sure any similar shirt from your inventory will look fine, or change things up by trying a different color or style. That distinctive motorcycle styled jacket has a classic appeal, and it is playful when teamed up with a flared mini skirt. 

I am running so late tonight, since I was busy with cooking all evening and just finalized a plan or two with my mom about an hour ago. As usual for Christmas Eve we are gathering at my grandmother's, then Christmas Day at my parents' house. No blog post tomorrow, and I am not sure yet about Monday evening but we'll see what I can do :) For those of you who are celebrating, I wish you a very Merry Christmas, and I hope you enjoy time with family or friends or whoever makes you smile, in person or online. I also hope all of you know that *you* make me smile! If you are visiting my little corner of the internet, I am grateful and appreciate you for it. Many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Disgruntled Elf Hunt

Hiya everyone! Tonight I will be showing you some prizes from a free gridwide hunt called the Disgruntled Elf Hunt, and it has a few tricks up its little elven sleeves. The prizes are hidden in one of 5 random colored gift boxes, and the stores have hint givers are an example of one but not necessarily the color that is hidden there. Each location can have up to 5 decoys out, although that isn't always a bad thing because one of the stores had cookie recipes on notecards inside their decoys :) The landmarks, both in the prize folders and on the website, are labeled Mayhem 01, Mayhem 02, etc. so you don't know precisely where you're headed until you arrive. There are a total of 25 stops, and the site lets you know if they are male, female, or unisex gifts so you can bring friends of any gender and they will know what prizes are of interest to them ahead of time. Obviously I suggest having their site available for reference while hunting, since I've mentioned it a few times already :) Also featured tonight, a sneak peek at tomorrow's Entice gift from their Advent calendar, and today's Inkheart Advent gift that will be free for group members until the beginning of January. 


This first gift is from MystRie and is called Drummer Girl, the female gift to which there is a male counterpart found in the same store but different gift box. The coat dress comes in 5 classic and 5 fitmesh sizes, and the matching boots are included in a size for the classic avatar feet so you can just remove/hide your mesh feet if you are wearing any. The various shades of green are really intriguing, aren't they?


Mishmash Fusion has matching outfits for guys and gals as well, elegantly casual for last minute holiday preparation or getting together with a few close friends. Their lovely Stone Cold Sweater comes in a fitmesh version plus Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizes, while the Morning Bell Jeans are in standard mesh sizes along with Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine. They are quite versatile too, as you are about to see these jeans in my next two photos as well.


There is something so cozy about a soft knit sweater, like this Women's Xmas Sweater from Fire Within. It includes fitmesh standard sizes plus Freya, Isis, Venus, eBody, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine versions, so this should comfortably fit just about every shape and size. The mens' gift is different colors and design but also features snowflakes, so a nice winter touch.


Should I be embarrassed or proud to admit that as soon as I saw this shirt, I identified with the wording? :) It is our prize from To the Moon & Back, in an array of mesh sizes: standard, Freya, Isis, Venus, eBody, Maitreya, Ocacin, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine. I am definitely planning on wearing this quite a bit, love it!


Advent time, this sexy outfit is the gift for the 23rd underneath the Entice tree. Just wear your free group tag and pay $1L to the present of the current date (that means you will need to wait until Midnight SL time for this one) and it will be refunded along with the Schoolyard Crush - Violet outfit seen here. The top, skirt, tie, and bows each come in Maitreya, Freya, and Hourglass sizes. Quick confession: I am wearing the Slink Physique body today, and wound up trying out all 3 sizes to see how it would work out...this is the Maitreya sizes of each component and they are a very good fit. Just add your favorite stockings to really take advantage of those bows, or omit them and/or the tie if you prefer, wear this lovely gift however makes you happy. Speaking of happy, I am very pleased with the gift for the 22nd from the Inkheart Advent gifts, called Feline Eyes - Mecano. There is a slit pupil for the feline aspect, and the color is a really interesting grey blue green mix, okay I can't quite decide what color I see in it predominantly but it is appealing nonetheless :) This gift will be available for free until January 3rd with your free Inkheart group tag, as with all prior gifts, and each day one is added.

I wound up with an unexpected change of plans for the day, so tomorrow (Saturday) will just be twice as busy for me now. I am a bit concerned about that, but I will allegedly have help tomorrow, LOL, so maybe it won't be so bad. *fingers crossed* Please know that while I may mention Christmas from time to time, I respect all the holidays celebrated this time of year and am not trying to exclude anyone. For those who don't celebrate any holidays, I still wish you a peaceful and happy December with a beautiful new year approaching. Magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
