Tailor Ma'De For You

Hiya everyone! Tonight I have several treats for you, all from the [>Ma'De<] store. They are all current group gifts for the store's own group, in the same area as the gifts for other groups that I showed you recently. They are very generous, and the store's group is free to join so these treats won't cost you a thing. That makes it a great opportunity to look around and pick up some goodies for yourself, like new releases or sales. Shopping there and telling your friends about the store are both wonderful ways to thank the designer for their hard work :)

The first gift to show you is the Catalina Dress which is the August gift, in a sunshiny yellow and orange pattern. The gift includes a standard fitted version for classic avatars, as well as eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh body sizing. This is the oldest group gift on the wall, and since a new month arrives very soon I do suggest picking this one up promptly just in case.

The September group gift was a black and white delight called Bianca Dress, just as flirty as the previous gift (and the future ones!) with its intricate pattern and unique style. It comes in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies.

Maybe you crave something more revealing, well the October 2018 gift certainly fits that bill! This sheer pink dress/nightie with lacy trim and overlay comes in Altamura, eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine sizes. Just look at how low scooped that back is, lots of bum cleavage on display from this one :)

Our November gift reminds me of those galaxy manicures, with that starry design on a deep purplish background. It is provided in a standard fitted version for classic avis, plus eBody Classic, eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizes for mesh bodies. I love the pink trim and bows, such a pretty color combination.

December had all those phenomenal Advent calendar gifts for group members (I did blog a few throughout the month), so there was no single monthly gift. That means we skip to the January gift which is current for at least a brief time :) It is a cozy sweater dress that can double as a long shirt, in a gorgeous maroon shade with fun swirly pattern all over. The gift includes standard mesh sizes plus eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine versions.

I am experiencing a cold snap here but not as bad as other parts of the country, so it is chilly but could be worse. If you are experiencing frigid temperatures, please try to stay warm and safe! It is 4 degrees F here, so below freezing but I saw someone post on facebook earlier that it was -54 in their town. I can't even imagine that, honestly, and am concerned for anyone who has to experience that. Otherwise it's been a quiet day here, and I am looking forward to whatever February will hold both in SL and RL. I hope you're all having a terrific day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

SL Frees & Offers Gifts

Hiya everyone! Tonight I am focusing on one particular inworld group (free to join) called SL Frees & Offers, or SLFO for short. They are a fantastic source of information about sales and events, as well as the group tag entitling you to plenty of gifts from many different participating designers. I have been a member for several years now, and have been impressed by the stores I have been introduced to by them. All of the gifts I am showing you tonight can be claimed at the various stores just by wearing the SLFO group tag and clicking the signs at each location.

Our first stop is Brii Underground, who are generously offering a very classy look called Franceline Cream Version Gown Style Complet Outfit. It includes the gown in standard mesh sizes as well as Isis, Venus, Maitreya, and Physique versions, plus the bracelets, earrings, and hair accessory that makes me feel like royalty. The jewelry has built in resize scripts, so they can all be adjusted if needed.

Next I found the new location of Precious Designs, and am excited to share two of the four current SLFO group gifts they offer. The dress is called PD~ Diamonds Take You Higher Dress, and comes in sizes for standard, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP. The matching heels are similarly named PD~ Diamonds Take You Higher Heels, in sizes for Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink High. Each gift includes a 5 color HUD to let you tint them in a variety of choices, so feel free to mix and match. It is just an odd coincidence that I am matching the background wallpaper with the hue I picked on the left, LOL, right down to the floral pattern.

Ellnique Designs has a terrific gift waiting for all SLFO group members, their **SD** Danielle Blue Pants Set. They have rebranded from Shoenique to Ellnique, which is why the initials are SD. The top and pants are linked into one easy wearing piece, in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique. All those chains draped from the top and as a belt give it a daring flavor, and the top reminds me of scales so it put me in mind of a mermaid. In case you don't get a red arrow or beacon from your map to find the gifts, there is a teleporter that has a group gifts option near the front entrance.

The gift at MONOMANIA is their lovely Sweet Heart - Florinda, a denim mini dress with built in panties that is sprinkled with pretty flowers. It comes in sizes for Altamura, Freya, Isis, Venus, EVE Pulpy, EVE Slim, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP. The group gifts are upstairs and there are words on the floor as you walk around to identify each room, just in case the SLurl in the credits doesn't bring you directly to the right area.

My final look of the evening is our gift from [Sexy Princess] called Paris Blue, a strapless suit that I am not certain if it was intended as a bodysuit or a swimsuit since I can easily see it as either :) It is provided in two standard sizes (big and small) along with eBody, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique versions. The pattern reminds me of a classic bandana print but with added floral vines.

I hope you're all having a terrific day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Generous WellMade

Hiya everyone! Tonight we have just one location to visit, the [WellMade] store, but there are plenty of gifts waiting for us. They are for various groups that I think of as themed or informational rather than store groups, since they bring us notices and gifts about multiple designers all across the grid. I find they are an excellent way to learn about stores that are new to SL or new to me, and sometimes an event is mentioned that I haven't heard of yet. Most are free to join, with one of the featured groups tonight (Third Life) having a small $10L joining fee to keep out those pesky spammers. All of WellMade's group gifts are in the same area, but I encourage you to explore the store and see what appeals to you :) I am a big fan of their clothing, as you can probably tell.

You can see two wonderful gifts here, and they are for different groups. The top is the charming [WellMade] Damara Top, the gift for the MGSN group which stands for Maitreya Gifts, Sales and News. Since the group is for Maitreya wearers, the gift includes a single Maitreya size, along with a HUD that lets you choose from the two colors I am displaying above. My pants here are the Third Life group gift called [WellMade] Mirabelle Pants, which include Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizing each in flat and high feet lengths. There is also a HUD provided for these, with 2 colors which you will be seeing both of quite a bit in tonight's post.

For this photo, I switched to the other color on the HUD for the Mirabelle Pants, and slipped into the group gift for the SLFO (SL Frees & Offers) Group called Lyda Top. This flirty blouse has an intriguing pattern with two color varieties via HUD, and comes in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine. The sides and back are quite revealing!

This layered looking top is the gift for the Mesh Body Friends group, [WellMade] Sela Shirt. It comes in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine sizes, with a HUD that lets you choose between the two colors I'm showing above. The subtle stripes and tiny flecks in the texture add a certain appeal, keeping it from being bland, and the neckline is a fun one.

Our gift for the Inside Your Inventory group is the Zaila Top, a peekaboo strapless tube top with a HUD that lets you choose between the two pinky shades shown here. It includes sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine.

My final look may tempt you into an SL vacation somewhere warm. It is the FabFree group gift from [WellMade] called Indira Bikini, and it has a sweet striped pattern that can be switched between blue and red with the HUD enclosed. The bra and panties each come in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizes, with a tighter version of the Maitreya size for the panties that I found to be a better fit for me personally. Each piece can be changed individually via the HUD, which can be handy if you can't decide between the two colors or are feeling patriotic. 

I got a little bit less sleep than I meant to, so I am tired but finding things online that amuse me to keep my spirits up :) It is past midnight here so it's officially my birthday, so maybe instead of tired I'm just feeling my age? LOL! It has been a challenging year in some ways, but I am trying to focus on the positives and that this is a brand new year with plenty of possibilities. I hope you're all having a wonderful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Take it All Off with Sn@tch

Hiya everyone! Tonight I am excited to share a new Fish 4 This fishing set from Sn@tch, this one being called Take it All Off. It consists of 21 pieces to catch with a 7 Seas fishing rod, which you can purchase there or on the marketplace (a nice choice for gifting) for just $100L and then use endlessly with no additional bait needed. There are 5 varieties of a gorgeous corset top (system layers and Omega applier), a sleek pencil skirt (standard mesh sizes plus eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine versions), a bikini top and bottom (each standard mesh sizes as well as Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine sizes), and plenty of accessories. Those include earrings and a matching necklace to wear with anything, hair in 3 colors, gloves and stockings each in system layers and an Omega applier, mesh tassels (Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine sizes), shoes for Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink High, and even a duo of lipstick shades as system layers and Omega applier. These are such generous sets, and the pieces are transferable so you can swap your duplicate catches with friends to collect the full sets even faster. If you love the set but prefer not to fish, you always have the option of purchasing the full set all at once, right above the fishing rod vendor.

My first look starts with the Sn@tch Felicia Hair in Black, one of the three shades available among the fishing prizes. The style is voluminous with lush curls, just right for feeling like a bombshell beauty. Then I slid into the Sn@tch Saskia Latex Pencil Skirt in Black, which hugs my curves down to just below the knee. The texture has just the right shine that I can almost hear it squeak ;) As for the tops, they are both from the Sn@tch Kitana Bustier Goth Omega applier (don't worry, there is a bag packed with system layers too for classic bodies) with Teal on the left and Red on the right. They are so detailed, as Sn@tch's texturing is simply divine, and these look wonderful in every color.

Next we take a look at the Felicia Hair in Platinum, which certainly gives me major Marilyn Monroe vibes. It also shows off the Sn@tch Take it Off Earrings nicely, since they are black dangling pearls that pop against the blonde background. I changed into the Kitana Bustier in Black, which as you can see still has a lacy pattern on the inner sections but it is more subtle in this variation. 

I feel like I am slowly taking things off as these looks progress, not exactly stripping but revealing more and more skin. This terrific bikini is the Sn@tch Bikini Top and Bottom, each in Black Sequin, and all mesh sizes for the top are in one bag while the bottoms are in another. You can wear them together, or pair them with other components of the set or anything in your wardrobe really since they are quite versatile. I also added some sexy heels, the Sn@tch Calais Pumps in black, which are like grown up Mary Jane shoes with the ankle strap and flirtatious bow. You may have noticed that I am wearing additional jewelry for this look, well that would be the Sn@tch Take it Off Pearls in Black. This beauty has multiple strands of inky pearls accentuated by the double rings on the side. It has a resize script built in, just in case you need to adjust it, which oftentimes I do when it comes to necklaces. 

Several different songs come to mind for this look, all of which would be fun to perform a striptease to :) I've added several components here, starting with the hair in Auburn for a fiery feeling. I'm also now enjoying the Sn@tch Tassel Pasties in Black, and I am glad they are in sizes that already fit my mesh body instead of having to adjust them for ages to get the right placement. The gloves are the Sn@tch Latex Gloves in Black, which happen to be the same material as our skirt above so you can definitely pair them with that as well. I've also slipped into the Sn@tch Lacy Seamed Stockings in Black, which are ready to stay up on their own without any need for garters. I adorned my mouth with a fresh coat of Sn@tch Moist Cream Lipstick in Black, from their Omega applier that holds two color choices. The panties are the bikini bottoms from the prior photo, see I told you they would be very handy :) 

My final look of the evening is focused on the two remaining colors of bustier and the other lip shade, and it is a bit closer of a look at our pretty jewelry. On the left I'm wearing the Kitana Bustier in Wine, on the right it is the Purple, and they both show off the lace design to its fullest. This also lets you see the bottom hem of the bustier, with its tiny ruffle of satin that was hiding beneath the skirt in the first images. My lips look luscious in the Moist Cream Lipstick in Blood, thanks to that Omega applier I mentioned, and this looks like it has just the right texture to be comfortable yet not leave stains all over your special someone's cheek...lips...neck...*ahem* I must confess, this fishing set makes my mind wander sometimes to all sorts of intriguing places. Sorry, not sorry!

I had a truly special weekend, since I got to spend time with friends and family who were kind enough to help me celebrate my birthday a bit early. It wouldn't have seemed like much to a casual observer, but as an only child with few in-person friends it was just right for me :) We had a delicious Thai dinner, and a talented local baker was able to provide a gluten-free masterpiece of a cake: 4 layers of chocolate cake with vanilla mint buttercream and chocolate ganache on the outside. My parents both need to avoid gluten for different reasons, so dinner and dessert were chosen with them in mind while still being favorites of mine. I did miss blogging last night, but was just so exhausted that it was better not to try. I'm glad to be back, and will be exploring SL soon to find just the right treats to share with all of you this upcoming week. I hope you're all having a brilliant day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Ma'De in the Shade

Hiya everyone! Tonight I visited the Ma'De store and picked up several group gifts for various inworld groups, most of which are free to join with just one having a small fee to become a group member. There was a lot of group tag switching since Ma'De is very generous with so many different ones, and soon we will revisit to see the Ma'De store group's gifts too. I figured the less teleporting around on a busy weekend, the better off we are :)

First we take a look at their gift for the MLM Frees&Offers group, which is free to join. The gift is their Paloma Dress in a lovely shade of teal, with standard mesh sizes plus fits for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine. The satiny texture is accentuated by the lace inset at the waist, and the straps and lacing add interesting touches.

The Ma'De gift for the Mesh Body Friend group is equally beautiful and flirty. It's called Gabriella, and is a dark satin trimmed with gold at the waist and collar, with a high slit on one hip for added oomph. The dress is provided in eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizing, with a standard fitted version for classic avatars. The Mesh Body Friend group is free to join, so this look will cost you absolutely nothing :)

The charming Tess Dress is a gift for the Fitmesh Fanatics group, which is free to join and entitles you to plenty of treats such as this one. It comes in a standard fitted version for classic avatars, as well as eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizes for mesh bodies. I love the halter style, fun ruffled trim, and two different shades of tropical leaves decorating the fabric.

Our gift for the Inside Your Inventory group has an eye-catching houndstooth pattern and two rows of bold buttons down the front, giving the appearance of a business style outfit. But that daring short skirt leans more towards business than pleasure ;) It comes in standard mesh sizes as well as versions for eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Ocacin, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine. 

My final look this evening is the Ma'De gift for Third Life by the name of Lynn, and she features a gorgeous bright shade of purple with golden paisley print on the top. The Third Life group is the one that has a fee to join ($10L) and I had shown you some of their other gifts in recent days. Lynn comes in sizes for eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique.

My early birthday dinner was rescheduled for tomorrow, which means my Saturday is now extra busy but double the fun. I have my usual morning outing as well as dinner plans, so I will most likely not be able to blog tomorrow night. I'll be back Sunday though, and what I show you will be as much of a surprise to myself as to you since I haven't quite decided yet. I hope this weekend brings you all much happiness, and I am sending magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Get Lucky and Get Hunting

Hiya everyone! Tonight we have some hunt prizes to see, from the New Year Hunt which is a $1L gridwide hunt in which we are looking for a red question mark at each store. There are hints on their website along with some preview images of the prizes. Don't panic at the name, the hunt lasts until the end of the month so you have almost a week remaining to find these goodies. While I was exploring one of the stores, I found several lucky chairs that do not need any particular group tag, and had a seat on one to win a prize that I am happily showing all of you too. I had good timing, and with 5 different chairs changing fairly often, hopefully you can do the same.

First we have the $1L prize from Grumble, their Vintage Roses Halter Dress. It may have a classic pattern, but the dress has a very modern style, not to mention flirty. The gift includes sizes for eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique, all with the low dip in the back and fluttery mini skirt.

Sometimes we need something alluring, and this fantastic prize by Carrie's Lingerie is a jaw dropping example of alluring. CB~Camille Ice is provided in system layers and an Omega applier for the corset, gloves, panties, and stockings, and you can bring your favorite male avatar to claim that very same gift because it contains a matching pair of boxers. The color is wintry, but the intricate lacy style (check out the seams on the back of the legs!) will warm up any evening.

How cute is this outfit from Prism? It is called Bellisima by Journey, and it is looking lovely in lavender for all 3 components. The cashmere sweater, silk tweed shorts, and high boots each come in standard mesh sizes plus Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique versions. Such a pretty way to enjoy the cold weather but show off a flash or two of skin!

The prize from Twistys Twistalicious Creations is the sensational GlitterRain Gown w/Hud, and it has an animated texture to really bring out the sparkle. The gown comes in standard mesh sizes as well as Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP versions, and the HUD mentioned in the name lets you choose from 12 different colors. Don't leave Twistys just yet...

This is the lucky chair prize I mentioned in the very beginning, from one of the chairs at Twistys. They are in the same room as the hunt prize (my extra little hint) and hold many different gifts, such as this Twistys Pink Paisley Outfit. The tank top, skirt, and panties (the solid pink band you see above the skirt) each come in sizes for Altamura, Eve Pulpy, Eve Slim, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique. The bright color really catches the eye, and the style is very playful for any time of year. If one of the chairs has your initial on it, have a seat and claim whatever prize is shown!

One of these days I would love to find the secret to regaining some of my energy, which seems to have all but disappeared lately. I guess I'm tired of feeling tired all the time. I will certainly need some pep in my step for this weekend :) Tomorrow evening I am having an early birthday dinner with the family, then later a houseguest for the weekend will arrive, so it will be an exciting time. For now I hope you're all having a pleasant day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Bring Me To Life

Hiya everyone! Tonight I have more Third Life group gifts to share, because I had such a good time yesterday with them and knew there were plenty more for all of you to enjoy. The group has a modest $10L fee to join to keep out spammers, which I do appreciate because group chats and notices should be a safe place. You can have a peek at their website for information about gifts, sales, and lots more. 

My first look is the fantastic gift from Fatal Fashion, their Outfit 041 which includes clothing and accessories :) The dress comes in sizes for eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine, while the heels are in Belleza, Maitreya, Slink, and Tonic sizing. The gift also includes the matching earrings and necklace shown, for a complete look that will have you dressed and out the door in no time.

*dafnis has a very elegant gift for us, the fatpack of their She Is Unique dress. From the front view it is a sleek silky gown, while from behind it holds the surprise of an intricate back piece almost like jewelry built in. The gown comes in sizes for Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and several Belleza Sizes (Freya, Isis, & Venus each in natural, perky, and pushup varieties) with a HUD that lets you choose from 20 colors for the dress and 20 for the neck. That low scoop back really does show off the neck piece wonderfully!

Our next stop is Virtue, at their new location, where you can claim this charming Bella outfit as our Third Life group gift. The top is provided in classic S, M, L sizes along with Freya, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Ocacin, Voluptuous, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh body sizes, while the skirt comes in S, M, eBody, Freya, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine versions. What that boils down to in my mind is that you can try on a few sizes and experiment with the alphas of your particular mesh body and you should find a suitable fit :) The long skirt and warm looking layered top are a great choice for this weather.

This pretty dress can be found at Nala Design, and I'm going to suggest the best way to locate it within the store is to follow the red arrow/beacon from your map since this store has so many different rooms that it would be hard to explain. Keep an eye out for the Third Life group join sign, beneath which you can claim this *ND* Chabely Cocktail Dress. It includes 5 classic sizes and 5 fitmesh sizes along with eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh body sizing. There is also a HUD with 8 color choices, lots of deep jewel tones among the various options, and you can see a touch of shine near the waist which I am guessing is materials enabled and picking up the ambient lighting in my skybox.

My final look this evening is a fun reminder that there are casual looks among the many generous gifts for the Third Life group, such as this treat from New Line Store called Anne. It consists of a tiny bra top and high waisted shorts, each in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine. The belt on the shorts is built in, and a perfect match for our top, although you can always mix and match these pieces with anything in your wardrobe to make it uniquely your style. I also think jewelry, shoes, and hair choices can do a lot to personalize an already terrific look like this.

There is something special about the feeling of freshly cut and colored hair, just a relief to have shape again with no weird frizzy roots. The weather is a bit warmer too, so I am ready for a busy but exciting weekend. I am not sure what my blogging schedule will look like, but it shouldn't be too interrupted. I hope you are all having a beautiful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
