Starting Our Weekend in Style

Hiya everyone! Tonight's post will show you several ways to start your weekend in style, starting with a very generous 4 gifts from Lavian&CO for the Designer Showcase VIP group. As I mentioned yesterday, the group is free to join and will keep you informed about the Designer Showcase event, in addition to participants occasionally offering treats for the members. The current round lasts until the end of the month, so you have plenty of time to visit. I also have another DAZZLE exclusive to share, this time from Tooty Fruity, that fits in beautifully with their Cherry Blossom theme for this round and will add something special to your weekend.

Lavian&CO is known for their use of HUDs for pantones, or ranges of textures and colors to choose for their clothing, and I am a huge fan of that innovation. This particular gift is their New Girl Bag 3, a jacket and skirt each in standard sizes plus Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique. The enclosed HUD offers 32 solid colors for the jacket and 32 coordinating patterns for the skirt, so you can get very creative with your combinations there.

For something more casual, be sure to claim the gift called Where Did You Go Bag 1, a fun and easy to wear outfit of silky blouse with a long tail, and cute white shorts. They come in what I call the lucky 13 of mesh sizes (5 classic, 5 fitmesh, Belleza, Maitreya, Slink) and include a HUD with 32 color options for the shirt. The shorts stay their crisp neutral white color to match all of the shirt hues perfectly.

This dress caught my eye with the sassy fringe in the front, and the diagonal hemline both front and back. It is our Endless Summer Days Bag 1 gift, and includes standard sizes plus a fitted version, Slink Hourglass, and Slink Physique sizes. I am actually wearing the standard medium with my Maitreya body and it looks like a great fit :) There is also a HUD that lets you choose from 32 solid colors, from pastels to brights to neutrals. 

This elegant gown is yet another thoughtful gift from Lavian&CO, their Love Train Bag 1 in standard mesh sizes as well as a fitted version plus Belleza, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizes. Between the wrap in the front revealing a daring opening, and the drape in the back, this is a detailed delight that you can wear in your choice of 32 colors, courtesy of the provided HUD.

For my last look of the evening, we head over to DAZZLE and visit the Tooty Fruity display, where you can find the exclusive Blossom dress until the 25th of this month. There are 5 individual colors for $50L each, or you can choose the fatpack for $99L which offers all 5 colors on a HUD that even allows you to change the upper and lower sections separately. The provocative style looks wonderful with the branches of cherry blossoms decorating the front and back, and all the color options suit the flowers as well. 

My weekend began with dinner at my parents' house, where I was glad to see that my dad is feeling decent and personality-wise seems almost back to his usual self. He still tires easily, but between surgery and the unexpected complications I think that is expected. All will work out eventually :) I hope you all have a terrific weekend, magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
