It's an Advent Morning

 Hiya everyone! Today I have a special morning post to share some time-sensitive Advent calendar gifts that are just available for the date of the 12th of December. A few calendars around the grid let you click prior days to receive the gifts for free, while other designers are offering prior gifts for sale for a small cost that is still far less than what full price would be. In general though, your best bet is to visit today before Midnight SL time :) All of today's gifts are either for groups that are free to join, or from calendars that do not need a group tag at all to claim their rewards. Well in the spirit of limited time, let me jump right into the goodies!


My first look is the gorgeous CONNIE OUTFIT by Blackbird Lace. This calendar does not need a group tag active to click it, and the dress is actually a layer of gemstones plus 3 separate clothing pieces (top, belt, skirt) each in sizing for Freya, Hourglass, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh bodies. The matching strappy sandals come in Belleza, Legacy, Maitreya, and Slink High versions. There is also a HUD provided with 21 textures for the skirt, 20 each for top, tape (lace in the back of belt), belt, and heels, and even 7 colors for the gemstones. As I usually suggest with so many options, please have fun clicking all the buttons and seeing what combinations make you smile. 


Now before you teleport anywhere, you'll want to cross the courtyard outside of Blackbird Lace and walk over to Black Angel. I shared some of their generous group gifts recently and mentioned their group Advent calendar, so it makes sense for me to show off today's Advent gift too. This is the LIZETTE OUTFIT by BA Store that you'll receive from clicking the number 12 on the board with your free group tag active, and it has a cropped tank top and very short skirt each in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine bodies. There is also a handy HUD included, with 18 textures for the top and 14 skirt colors. The top has a mix of patterns like the one on the left above, and solids in the same hues, all of which can coordinate with the skirt coloring of your choice. This skirt has some impressive hardware too, with those glimmering metallic zippers!


TrendZy Apparel would like to make sure we know that it's the most wonderful time of the year with their Advent gift today. It is called TA wonderful time of year dress green, and includes eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Ocacin, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh body sizing. I would like to mention that there is a fixed landing spot for this shopping area in front of a different store, so please follow the red arrow from your map or if you cannot activate those in your viewer just look south for the TrendZy Apparel building. It has large lettering with its name atop it, can't miss it :) No group tag is needed for this calendar.


Sometimes we want to feel extra sexy for the holidays or any time of year, and I really think Enchantress has captured that with their Rowan Outfit Blue gift on their group's Advent calendar today. The group is free to join, and this gift combines mesh with applier clothing for a mix of looser and more formfitting fabrics. The shimmery tank top is our mesh, in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique bodies. Then we have the exquisitely textured pants (look at that lace!) on an applier HUD for Belleza, Maitreya, Omega, and Brazilia Doll compatibility. It would be very tricky to get those intricate cutouts on mesh pants, and this seems like being skin tight is the way to go. 


My final look of the morning is the *Pink Mango* Hope Dress Day 12 gift, and their board is just for the members of their free group. I really like the mix of animal prints on the silvery fabric, and the way the back is laced from neck to waist with just enough of a flirty opening. Our gift includes sizes for Freya, Isis, Hourglass, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh bodies. This calendar, like all of the ones featured today, are random picks from my daily Advent routine that I am quite enjoying.

Usually at this point of my posts it is the end of the night and I'm chatting about how my day went, but I still have a long day ahead of me :) The farmers market yesterday was great fun, although the wind gusts were making things challenging for the vendors whose tents and signs were trying to fly away. It was windy earlier in the day than predicted, otherwise they wouldn't have used the tents for safety. I got some really tasty Thai garlic chicken that might be my dinner tonight, among many other tempting offerings from various cuisines. I am already excited about next week's lunch special too, homemade pierogis and galumpkis (cabbage rolls) that are a family tradition for the owners of the market. I will not be blogging tonight, but I'll be back tomorrow evening for a more typical post :) I hope you're all enjoying your weekends, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
