Still Sailing Around The Grid

Hiya everyone! Tonight we have another array of prizes from the Around The Grid 7 Hunt, which are each $1L if you find the hidden hot air ballon or $25L if you choose to buy the prize from the balloon near the hunt sign. I realize not everyone enjoys hunting, or maybe you just won't have the time before this hunt ends on September 30th, so it is good to know you have another option. The website is useful to have open while you hunt, since that is how we navigate from store to store, and there are hints to help us find the hidden yellow and red striped balloons.


My first look of the evening is a very thorough outfit from NUTS Inc, and one of two prizes inside the same balloon. Their ATG7 Sari Outfit includes top and skirt that you can deliver from their HUD by clicking the sizes you need: standard, Belleza (Freya, Isis, Venus), Maitreya, Slink (Hourglass, Physique), or Tonic (Curvy, Fine). There is also a button for shoes, that delivered folder contains the unrigged flat sandals and backpack you see here. They can be adjusted or resized to suit your needs, and the backpack even says 'Around the Grid" across the top. There are lots of great details like the partly open zippers in the front of the skirt, and the various patches to contrast against the denim.


Eclectic Stars has an adorable gift waiting in their balloon, this Buttercup - Pixel Love suit. It comes in standard mesh sizes along with Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine versions. It is a single mesh piece with everything you see here attached...the mane, horn, ears, muzzle, and mane which all add up to make me a unicorn!!! ♥ 


Next we see the treat from Hopes Creations, their pretty [HC] Toya ATG7 Jumpsuit. It is provided in eBody Classic, eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Hourglass Petite, Physique, Physique Petite, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine sizes. The sash style belt is attached, in a sunny yellow shade that perfectly matches the daisy's centers.


The Sissy Bar is offering this casual floral delight in their balloon, (TSB) Around the Grid in 80 Days. The short sleeved crop top and daring shorts are each included in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizing. Those pointed rear sections on the shorts are so intriguing and flirty!


My final look of the night comes from Grumble, and is their Glam Knotted Dress-Frenchie. The pupper-covered strapless mini comes in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique versions, and I was immediately drawn to the cheerful sketches of flowers and bows and such surrounding the dogs. 

It was a decent day here, and dinner with my parents was really enjoyable. Tasty food, good company...I certainly can't complain about that :) I hope you're all having a terrific day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Almost The Weekend

Hiya everyone! Tonight we continue hunting our way Around The Grid, with the ATG7 Hunt. There are many exciting prizes to be found, either by searching for the hidden red and yellow striped hot air balloon by using the hints on their website or purchasing for $25L near the hunt sign if you are not into hunting. The hunt has another full month to go, so you have plenty of time to grab these bountiful bargains.


This eye-catching dress is the ladies' prize from Mishmash Fusion, their ~*MF*~ Inertia Dress - Musician. With four cutouts that remind me of flower petals on the front, and a deep scooped back, the style is a perfect backdrop for the pattern of musical instruments and written music. It comes in standard mesh sizes plus eBody Classic, eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine versions. The mens' prize (a coordinated suit) is in the same balloon for convenience.


There are some terrific tops among the hunt prizes, like this lovely [AF] Slaren Halter from Horr Menswear. With the AF prefix, I am guessing it was created by their partner/neighbor store, Ambient Fashion :) The prize includes a male gift too, so everyone is looking for the same hot air balloon. This halter top is provided in standard mesh sizes along with eBody Classic, eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine versions. I am wearing my favorite marketplace gift jeans with it, they are by Delizio and include several colors in system layers plus appliers for Maitreya and Omega.


Who wants free hugs? Yes please, my avi is definitely raising her hand for that! The prize from The Bold Llama T-Shirt Co. is their Around the Grid FREE HUGS Tee. It includes standard mesh sizes along with eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Ocacin, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine versions. 


Next we have the playful top from Virtual Glitter called VG_RuffleTank_Flamingo. It makes my bird-loving soul happy, in sizes for standard, eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine. What a fun way to be ready for summer in a hurry!


My final look of the evening is a beautiful body art prize from TAOX TaTToo called Back Aramina Dreamcatcher. It is a unisex tattoo that goes from the nape of the neck all the way down to the lower back. My pose is making my spine curved, the tattoo is straight :) It comes in appliers for Adam, Belleza, Maitreya, Omega, Signature, and Slink, so a great mix of male and female bodies with the versatility of Omega. Each HUD offers light, medium, and dark versions (I am wearing the dark above for visibility) and an off button to clear your tattoo layer. I love the coloring especially in the feather at the bottom, and the little stars are such a cute touch. 

It was a pretty good day here, with a chiropractor visit and then a trip to a farmers market where I got some tasty treats. My parents are doing what I call a mock BBQ (their propane grill doesn't work and they haven't gotten it fixed yet, so just cooking similar food indoors) tomorrow evening, so I'll have plenty of leftovers to enjoy throughout the weekend. I hope you're all having a wonderful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

More Around The Grid

Hiya everyone! Tonight I have more wonderful hunt prizes from the Around The Grid 7 Hunt to show you. They are hidden inside red and yellow striped hot air balloons for $1L each, or you can purchase the prizes without searching for $25L near the hunt sign if you are not a fan of hunting but are a fan of the prizes :) We have until the end of September to find all the balloons, so there is plenty of time to follow the landmarks and hints on their website.


This first look comes from Sweet Intoxication, their charming Sundae - Sweet Treat Pack. The strapless jumpsuit comes in fitmesh standard sizes as well as Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine versions. There is also a HUD included with 6 soft pastel color choices.


The prize from Dragonmoon Designs is a gorgeous dress called [DD] Pink Goddess, which fittingly looks like a toga in style. The gift includes standard mesh sizes plus Belleza, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique versions, with daring slit and draped front. The burst of color beneath the gathered bust is a pretty touch, too!


Next we have a treat from Dark Intentions, their prize called DI: Chantelle Summer Dress. It comes in fitmesh standard sizes as well as eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Ocacin, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine versions. There is even a HUD with 10 colors to choose from, all with the same intricately woven pattern that looks great in all the possible hues.


This daring body-conscious mini is the prize from Aurora's Closet, their .{AC}. Lily Summer Dress Mint. It is provided in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine sizing, two versions with one having M in the name that just occurred to me is probably "materials". I love how the straps cross in the back, then come over the shoulders to lace through the front and hold everything together. 


My final look of the night is the ladies' portion of the prize from Georg Bellic Design, their ~GBD~ Tropical Line Beach Dress Grid 7. It is provided in standard mesh sizes along with versions for eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine. It is quite sheer, so I think it would make a fantastic coverup for a bikini or swimsuit. The sleeves have clever slits in them from just below the shoulder to a bit above the wrist, very flirty.

My day has somehow gotten rather stressful, too much going on and people I rely on in my life are choosing to make things difficult. (Not Xan by the way, he is helping me stay calm) I have an appointment tomorrow, then a few things planned in the upcoming days that will keep me hopping but mostly positive things. Right now I wish I were napping ;) I hope you're all having a decent day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Hunting Around The Grid

Hiya everyone! Tonight I am exploring the Around The Grid 7 Hunt, a gridwide event that lasts for 80 days (ending September 30th) and has us looking for striped hot air balloons. They are $1L each if you find the hidden one, or you can choose to purchase the prize from the one near the sign for $25L. There are hints, landmarks, and preview photos on the hunt's website, so you will want to have it open and available while you look for all these terrific prizes.


First up, we have the prize from the starting location, Go Frock Yourself. Their balloon holds the GFY-Kathleen Swimsuit, a flirty one piece that comes in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizes. There is also a HUD included that offers 5 color choices, so you can get even more wear out of this summery treat.


Next we see the ladies' prize from {zfg} called emmersyn, a boyfriend style shirt that is loosely buttoned and has a fun plaid pattern. It is provided in standard mesh sizes as well as eBody Classic, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine versions. There is another balloon hidden with a mens' prize inside, so be sure you find the correct one by following the hint. This style makes me want to snuggle, and that could be with Xan or a stuffed animal or a playful pet in SL, it's all good.


The prize from AdelleArts is a hunt exclusive, their ATG 7 Gown with dramatic black and red paisley pattern. It comes in standard mesh sizes plus versions for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP. 


Do you love the feeling of wearing brand new lingerie? (I do!) Be sure to find the prize at Freya's Fashions then, so you can claim their FF Rachel Lingerie - Purple Balloon set. There are system layers plus an applier HUD for Belleza, Maitreya, Omega, and Slink mesh bodies, so most of us can enjoy this very affordable luxury.


My final look of the night is a midlength dress called Tammy Watercolor, found inside the @AdReNaLiZeD@ hot air balloon. The texture has so many beautiful pastel shades, gently blended and blurred into each other, with a wide belt section that looks like snakeskin. It comes in what I call the lucky 13 of mesh sizes: 5 classic, 5 fitmesh, Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink, so plenty of fits for a wide range of shapes and bodies.

Exciting things are coming in SL, as Bakes On Mesh is now live on the main grid. This means that all those system layer skins, clothing, tattoos, etc. will be able to be layered onto mesh bodies and heads, with a huge number of layers possible. I am waiting for updates from Firestorm (my viewer of choice), Maitreya, and Genus to be able to take advantage of this intriguing advancement. A new month will be upon us soon too, so as usual that will bring lots to enjoy. I cut my hand on a glass bottle that had a little chip in it, so typing is painful but I am doing my best. I am slow tonight though, and I apologize for that. Hope you're all having a wonderful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Are You a Fitmesh Fanatic?

Hiya everyone! Tonight we are exploring the gifts for the Fitmesh Fanatics group, which is free to join and will keep us informed of sales and new releases from participating designers. The group tag also entitles us to many group gifts, so be on the lookout for the group's logo in your favorite stores :) I enjoy sharing some of the gifts from time to time, just so you know what is available.


My first look is the group gift from .:AMUI:. called "Julianne" Outfit - D04. It consists of the bra, jacket, and shorts each in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP. The thigh-high boots are also included, sized for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique. These pieces add up to an edgy and sexy outfit that I couldn't wait to share. To claim this gift, you will need to pay the vendor $1L but you will be immediately refunded.


Artic Storm is offering their *AS* Ember Cold-Shoulder Dress & Shoes to all Fitmesh Fanatics group members, just click the image next to the sign in the landing area, right next to their door. This cozy sweater dress comes in classic fitmesh sizes (S,M,L) along with Freya, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine versions, with matching heels in Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink high sizing. 


Keep that group tag active and head over to ::powdermoon:: so you can claim this enchanting gift called Ruched Dress - Plum. It has bare shoulders with almost detached sleeves, and ties at each hip to gather the fabric even higher. The gift includes standard mesh sizes plus Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine versions.


Next we have the vibrantly colored Angela Cowl Dress from VERTIGO. This very thoughtful group gift comes in what I call the lucky 13 of mesh sizes: 5 classic, 5 fitmesh, Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink. The belt is built into each size, so this is easy to wear.


My final look of the night is our gift from GeMyles, called AnnaRina FitMesh Fanatics Gift. It has a slightly asymmetrical neckline, dipped down off the right shoulder just a smidge, and a soft floral pattern in a paler gray than the background color. The gift includes standard fitmesh sizes along with eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine versions. The store has moved recently, so I had to do a bit of investigating to find their correct location, but it is well worth it! There are lucky chairs and midnight mania boards nearby all the group gifts, so be sure to check those out while you visit. No group is needed for those.

Not much to say about my day, it was quiet but I was not feeling my best. Health will always be a bit of a battle for me, so I am just keeping my fingers crossed that tomorrow is a better day in that regard. I do hope you're all having a fantastic day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Back To School In Style

Hiya everyone! Tonight I have some hunt prizes to show you, from the Back To School Hunt 3. This is a $1L gridwide hunt, and we are looking for an image of books (flat prim). The hunt ends when August does, so we have just a few days to find these affordable treats. There are locations, hints, and even preview pictures on the hunt's website, so it is helpful to have it open while you enjoy the hunt. Then, since every outfit deserves beautiful accessories, I will show you a closer look at the jewelry I am wearing tonight from LIVIA that you can purchase at the Whimsical event.


First we have the prize from Changed Seasons, called Mandy. It is a layered dress and blouse in a pretty plaid, included in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizes. I feel like this style straddles the line between preppy and sexy.


Next I couldn't resist showing off the MadCatCreations prize, MCC - Back To School 3. This short sleeved sweater dress is provided in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies.


This breezy dress and blouse combo (linked into a single mesh piece) is our hunt gift from Waffles, their cute *WW* Dog and Paws Short Dress w/shirt. It comes in standard mesh sizes along with versions for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP. I am completely enamored with the adorable puppies leaving sweet little pawprints all over the dress! Remember to use the teleporter at the landing area to get to the correct floor to find this treat.


The Sissy Bar has a hidden prize for us too, their (TSB) Back To School Hunt 3 which is a set of denim overalls and a long sleeved shirt to layer beneath it. Each come in plenty of mesh sizes: classic S, M, L, fitmesh S, M, L, Freya, Venus, Maitreya, Ocacin, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, Tonic Fine, and Voluptuous. The books on the shirt are similar to the hunt object's colors, and the apple on the rear pocket is such a cute touch.


My final look this evening is a closer view of my striking, versatile jewelry this evening, the LIVIA // Bloom Jewelry Fatpack. Visit them at Whimsical until the 9th of September, and you can choose individual pieces or the whole shebang which is $379L. The Bloom Earrings ($179L) include both pairs you see, dangling flower and round stud, separate unrigged attachments so you can wear the ones you wish. Their HUD offers 8 metals and 8 pearls for each earring separately, as I have chosen the white pearl for the long earring and yellow for the stud here. The HUD also lets you resize the earrings and turn materials on/off. The matching Bloom Necklace (hiding behind my hands here, but has a flower to match the earrings and rings) is unrigged too and has a very similar HUD, 8 metals and 8 pearls with resize and materials options. If you want to pick up the necklace individually, it is $129L. Last but certainly not least, the beautiful Bloom Rings ($199L) include rigged versions for Slink, Maitreya, Belleza, Tonic, and eBody bento hands. Their HUD is brimming with options too, the same 8 metals and 8 pearl colors so everything can be coordinated, plus materials on and off. The rings can be selected individually so you can color them separately, as I have done with the index finger's ring (darker black metal) and we even have the ability to hide any of the 4 rings simply by clicking an eye icon. So get creative and enjoy these beauties! You can grab a free demo at the event if you wish to try them out before you buy.

I hope you all had a terrific weekend and have a great week ahead, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Noirette Sim at Hair Fair

Hiya everyone! Tonight I have more Hair Fair gifts to show you, all of which in this post are from the Noirette sim. There are 3 sims filled with offerings and all purchases are between 15-100% donated to the Wigs for Kids charity. We are helping children who need wigs because of cancer or alopecia, and it can prevent bullying along with restoring the confidence of kids who are in the healing process. The designers have some wonderful offers, and there are several gifts for free or almost free :) If you want to contribute to the charity, there are donation kiosks scattered around the sims that you can pay any amount. The event is open until September 1st, so there is about a week remaining to stop by.


I am enjoying another dress from the -siss boom- lucky boards tonight, this one being their lovely Peppermints Pastel. The dress comes in sizes for Altamura Sofia, eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine, with a 5 color HUD for versatility. My hair here is one of the two gifts from Ade, their Hurrah Hairstyle full pack gift. It comes in rigged and unrigged versions, and includes a style switcher HUD with 4 options. The color HUDs have 12 choices each in blondes, browns, colored highlights, greyscales, mix, ombres, pastels, and reds. The other Ade gift is their Hurrah Glasses, which are unrigged and include a HUD with 10 colors each for the frames, arms, and lenses individually. 


This adorable hairstyle is our gift from .EscalateD. called Castie - Rainbows. It includes two versions that each have two sections that can be tinted individually with the HUD, with V1 being top and bottom layers while V2 (on the right above) is left and right halves. The HUD has 40 amazing choices, brights and pastels galore. How cute are those bows in the back? ♥


EMO-tions has a great gift waiting for us, their *JAY* style in Black&White. The beautiful braids are pulled off the face, then cascade down the back. There is a color HUD with 8 monochromatic choices, and matching hairbases are provided as system layers plus appliers for Omega, Catwa, and Lelutka. 


This gift from Alli&Ali is truly a stunner! It is called A&A Thisbe Hair Unicorn Colors V2, and has beautiful curls and tendrils. The included HUD lets you resize the hair, turn the brightness off and on, and choose from 4 styles: with or without bangs, each with or without the delicate flowers seen on the right. There are also 16 playful texture choices, ombres and mixtures of fantasy colors that are sure to delight. Maybe it's because of the cream color of the dress, but I feel like this would make a gorgeous wedding hairstyle especially if you are planning a fantasy type event. The delicate blossoms sure contribute to that feeling.


My final look of the evening comes from no.match and is called NO_PENNY HAIR FAIR GIFT. There are high LI and low LI versions, and the fatpack of color HUDs includes blacks, blondes, browns, and reds with 12 options each. There is also an accessory HUD with 12 choices including stripes and solids for that fun headband. There are even hairbases provided, system layers along with appliers for Catwa, Omega, Lelutka, and TMP. 

The next few days are probably going to be rather quiet for me, but I enjoyed my outing earlier and have plenty of food for quite a while. I hope you're all having a terrific day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Hair Fair Gifts

Hiya everyone! Tonight I have some gifts to show you from the Hair Fair, which is open until the 1st of September. There are 3 sims of displays from very talented and generous hair designers, and at least 15% of each sale is donated to Wigs for Kids. The charity provides kids with cancer or alopecia with wigs to help their self-esteem, and those wigs can also help prevent bullying from other kids too. There are donation kiosks on all the sims if you wish to give a set amount of lindens directly to the cause. I made a purchase and a tiny donation since I believe that every little bit helps. Many designers offer gifts for visitors, either for free or a very small cost, and that is what I'm sharing tonight. All of tonight's gifts can be found in the Blonde sim.


Before diving into the hair, let me tell you about my dress...it is a lucky board gift from -siss boom- that doesn't require a group tag to claim. There are several boards with different prizes, including this beautiful Motion Ocean Dusty strapless dress. It comes in standard mesh sizes as well as Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique versions. Quick note: the designer observes the Sabbath and the store is closed from Friday sundown to Saturday sundown in her time zone, so you might need to wait until Sunday to visit. As for my hair, this is the gift from Exile called Vera Hair Fair Gift. It includes a fatpack HUD with a whopping 150 color choices, and you can click the hair itself to resize it. Their alluring Lily style for sale is the one I purchased while there, as a fun side note :)


Next I couldn't resist showing you the playful [KoKoLoReS] Hair - Easton gift, a shaggy style that includes a fatpack HUD with 192 total choices. That is an impressive array of options, and there is a tinting feature on the HUD too.


Mello&Moth is offering their Midnight Fatpack as a Hair Fair gift, and it is a terrific style that in brunette somehow reminded me of Kate Beckinsale. There are versions with and without materials, and each of those has a 'boobs' size for more generous chests. There is a color HUD with 50 choices, and a separate tinting HUD so you can even fine tune those if you wish.


Another display on the Blonde sim that has a free gift for us is that of Sintiklia, who are offering their Hair Safire - Colors&pastels roots. It has 3 fitted breast sizes, and 2 unrigged bangs add-ons, both of which can be seen above. The style HUD has 4 versions so you can wear either side behind the shoulder or both in front, or both behind. As for colors, we have 20 vibrant choices like the two I am showing here. The loose waves are a delight of a style.


My final look this evening comes from Tameless, their gift called Wendy Mega Pack. There are several hairs included each with and without roots versions and with or without lolas sizes (fades, fantasy, naturals) that each sync with the provided HUD to offer 30 texture choices for that particular hair. I'm wearing fantasy on the left and naturals on the right. There is plenty of variety to enjoy here with this charming style.

Whew, it has been a busy couple of days! I am continuing to have a bit of relief from pain with CBD cream, and it is easier to type when my fingers don't sting or throb with every movement. I have my usual Saturday plans to look forward to, but nothing that should interfere with my blogging for the next several days. Then before we know it, it'll be September and there will be new hunts and events to explore :) I believe there is a certain spinning cube that will be hiding in many of my favorite stores, to torment but reward Twisted hunters, just to name one upcoming hunt. I hope you all enjoy your weekend, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
