Bring Me To Life

Hiya everyone! Tonight's post starts at the Sun-Sational Summer Cart Sale at The Wash, with fashions and furniture as more examples of the many wonderful offerings you can find there. Everything is $50L or less, with an impressive variety from dozens of talented designers from all over the grid. the post then continues with a dramatic change of theme, thanks to the Gothic Hunt :) This is a $1L gridwide hunt that has us looking for black roses (flat prim image, just the bloom without stem or leaves) with plenty of prizes to appeal to our inner (or outer) Goth. The website has landmarks, hints, and previews for most so you know what you will find in each rose. The outfits wound up inspiring my title, since Evanescence popped into my head while I was enjoying trying them all on.


My first look has selections from two carts, so I will start with the bikini I am wearing. It is the exclusive $50L offer from Magnetic, called Sweet Summer Top&Panties. Each are included in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Legacy Perky, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies, with that fun summer fruits image on the front and a flirty rear view. The link for the Magnetic mainstore can be found here, and the ending credits has the direct link to their cart. I am lounging cozily in one of the Sequel offers, their Baha Beanbag - Gray, which has a low land impact of 2 so it won't eat up much of your home's prim allowance. It costs just $50L, and when you sit you will get a menu of 9 female poses and 4 male poses to choose from. Above me is another Sequel selection called Summer Pineapple Mirror - Yellow, a cheerful way to brighten your wall with just 1 land impact and a low price tag of $25L. The pineapple in the design on my top is just a happy coincidence :) Sequel's mainstore link is right here, and you can find the cart's link in my ending credits as usual.


Another cart that always has affordable and tempting treats is that of Dark Water Designs, and tonight I randomly chose their DWD Summer Denim Dress, Hibiscus to show off. It is a mere $40L and includes the dress and 2 colors of panties (black or white, which you can see a glimpse of on the right) all sized for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies. But that's not all! There is a HUD provided too, with 7 colors to choose from for your floral denim texture. There are other versions of this same style on sale too, not to mention some super sexy bikinis and shorts outfits. You can find them all at the link in my ending credits of course, and their mainstore link is right here.


Over to the Gothic Hunt path, I was able to find the black rose at The Sissy Bar and eagerly claimed their lovely dress which is named after the hunt. It comes in classic M and fitmesh M for classic avatars, as well as sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh bodies. I appreciate the way it combines feminine ruffles with the dark pattern of skulls and roses in various shades of red and pink. 


This gorgeous outfit is the hunt prize from ~MystRie~ which is simply called Gothic Hunt Gift. The delightfully detailed Rose Dress comes in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP sizing, all with a sheer lacy layer atop the skirt which is adorned with roses, and the top has belts and a zipper textured onto the bodice. The rose choker I am wearing is also included, and it has a built in resize script so you can adjust if need be. Included but not shown are matching rose boots, unrigged so they are not fitted to any particular brand of foot. All in all, this is a very generous prize for just a single linden dollar.


My final look of the evening is from Auradocious Boutique, their ::AU:: Severina Outfit which is hiding inside a black rose just like the other prizes. It starts with the dress, in fitmesh standard sizes plus Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique versions. Then they generously added the matching boots in Maitreya and Slink Mid sizing, and the charming parasol with built in hold pose. I love the combination of purple and black, so the dress certainly caught my eye because of that, and the little frills and bows really reeled me in. The texture is like a damask pattern but with skulls in the center, very well themed!

I am still in the midst of a heat wave here, and it looks like it will be here for at least 2 weeks, so I plan on taking lots of cool showers and staying indoors as much as possible during the day. I hope you're all having a peaceful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
