Advent and DAZZLE

Hiya everyone! This morning I am pleased to show you a few of today's Advent calendar gifts from various generous designers, either needing a free group tag to claim or no tag whatsoever. Something else that makes me very happy is the monthly DAZZLE event, whose current theme is Dazzling Holidays in Glitter. As you can imagine, those talented creators have put impressive effort into interpreting that theme in their personal style. You have just over a week left to visit, so be sure to get there before the 25th to select some exclusive offers for yourself.

Our first Advent calendar visit is to ML Fashion, where you can claim this flirty gift #17 for free just by clicking the correct box. The dress comes in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique, as well as a classic fitted version. The built in corset style belt really highlights the black floral images wrapped around the short asymmetrical skirt.

For the [WellMade] Advent calendar, you will need a free group tag active, and there will be a stocking on the tree-shaped calendar for you to click each day to claim your gift. Today's is this Lilliet Dress with a blouse layered beneath a sleeveless jumper dress (worn as one piece) that also includes a HUD with two seasonal colors of plaid to choose from. The dress comes in fitmesh S, M, & L, plus Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP sizes.

Moonstar's gift for today is both festive and flirty, called *V* Merry Merry Dress. You don't need a group tag, just give the right date a click on their Advent board and you will receive this dress in sizes for eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and a standard fitted version. As an extra little bonus, there are white lace panties provided too, in appliers for Maitreya, Omega, and Slink.

Now it is time to visit the DAZZLE event, where Face Paint is offering 4 colors of their Elle gown exclusively for us to enjoy. The Red can be seen on the left, with the arm warmers that are included, and on the right I am wearing the Gold without the arm warmers just so you can see how that looks. The sequin patterned top fits the theme wonderfully, and the skirts have a dark elegant tone to them. Each color is $250L, and includes gown and arm warmers each in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique. The other two color choices are blue or silver, so there is something to flatter everyone.

While you are visiting DAZZLE, be sure to stop by the Sweet E's display so you can check out their many offers, including the exclusive Animated Let it Snow off Shoulder Sweater Capri Scarf set. For $199L you will receive the adorable sweater with falling snow texture and two baby seals beneath the words "Let it Snow" as well as the harem pants, each in sizes for standard, eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Ocacin, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine. Also included are the warm scarf in Belleza, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and Unrigged versions, plus the ankle tie shoes in Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink High sizes. You can enjoy this look with or without the scarf, although I find it to be a perfect match. I do get creative with mixing and matching sometimes :) I am such a fan of Sweet E's, so this is an exciting opportunity to get an exclusive item of theirs.

It was a fairly typical Sunday here, other than the shift from evening posting to morning posting. I expect to do the same tomorrow, as long as my eye symptoms stay stable and I don't need to rush off to the ophthalmologist again. It is frustrating to have a diagnosis of no retinal tear yet, but it is still quite possible...I feel like I'm walking on eggshells and being overly cautious. I hope you all have a beautiful Monday, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
