Find Your New FAVORite Look

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we are back at FAVOR, to partake in more free group gifts and see the two lucky board prizes that are currently available. We can join their store group for free at this time, so be sure to stop by soon and enjoy looking around :) The lucky boards and midnight manias are on either side of the staircase, then the group gifts are upstairs. While you are up there, be sure to peek at the various gifts for other groups too, as you just might already be a member of some of those and can obtain even more awesome gifts!

My first look tonight is the FAVOR - JINNA DRESS GIFT, which you can find upstairs with the generous group gifts. It is provided in sizes for Altamura, eBody Classic, eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Petite, Hourglass, Physique, Star, Tonic Curvy, Tonic Fine, and Tonic Minim mesh bodies. The vibrant blue shade looks fantastic with the latex-like shine, and the slit in the back dips low enough to reveal some booty cleavage ;)

Next we have the charming group gift called FAVOR - NUKA DRESS GIFT. This strapless mini has a full fluttery skirt and ruffle trim at neckline and hem. There is a standard size for classic avatars, along with eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh body versions. The white ruffles have a subtle floral pattern that goes so well with the soft pink of the main fabric.

Another wonderful choice from the many group gifts is the FAVOR - UNA DRESS GIFT. It has a retro feel because of the high collared blouse and double row of buttons on the skirt, and is linked together to wear as one piece. That is provided in standard mesh sizes as well as eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine body versions. The mauve pencil skirt looks so pretty with the floral bodice!

One of our lucky board prizes is this daring FAVOR - Ginger Dress Latex treat. The upper back and skirt at both thighs are all laced loosely to provide flashes of skin, and there is a lace design on the bra cups and hemline. This prize comes in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP bodies with a 5 color HUD. Some of those colors are especially sheer, so keep that in mind when deciding where to wear this.

For my final look this evening, I chose the other current lucky board prize called FAVOR - Anette Dress v2. The style is very similar to one of the group gifts I shared last night, with a caged bodice and extra short skirt. It has a great sheen that makes me think it is latex, and comes in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine sizing. There is also a HUD included as you probably guessed, with 10 terrific colors to choose from. 

My stomach is back to being very unhappy this evening, so I am glad I am safely at home and without plans to go out tomorrow. Otherwise it was a quiet day, and I am eager to see what the new month holds since it will be here very soon :) Hunts, events, sales...all sorts of things start new rounds when the calendar rolls over to a fresh new month, and I love seeing them all. I hope you're having a lovely day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Do Yourself a FAVOR

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I am sharing some group gifts from a store that is relatively new to me, called FAVOR. Their store group is currently free to join, and that group tag lets you claim several group gifts upstairs. There are two lucky boards and two midnight mania boards on either side of the staircase for group members as well, so be sure to take a peek at those before heading up. I am impressed with their merchandise and their generosity, not to mention a style that matches so many of my fashion moods. 

My first look this evening is their FAVOR - Dandy Dress Gift, a glitzy strapless mini dress in sizes for eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh bodies. There is also a HUD with 9 beautiful colors to choose from, all with those same sparkly stripes and fun laced bodice.

Next I couldn't resist sharing the FAVOR - Sanja Dress v1 group gift! It is a delicate slip of a dress with slender straps that cross in the back, and a gathered seam down the front that is trimmed in a contrasting color to match the bows. The dress comes in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP mesh body sizing, with a 10 color HUD for the trim/bows. 

Once upon a time this style would have been described as country, but I think these days it might be considered cottagecore? Whatever genre these layered ruffles and lace make you think of, you can't deny that the FAVOR - GINA DRESS GIFT is simply adorable :) The gift includes 5 standard mesh sizes along with eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh body sizes. 

This stunning sunshine yellow dress is our FAVOR - CINO DRESS GIFT, yours free just like tonight's other featured fashions with that free group tag. The bodice is crafted like a cage corset, attached to a high waisted mini skirt that is short enough in the back to reveal a touch of bum cheeks ;) It is included in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh bodies. 

For my final look of the evening, I am enjoying the FAVOR - Vanka Dress GIFT which is a feminine style with dramatic flourishes. The group gift consists of eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh body sizes, plus a HUD with 3 colors to choose from. All have black scalloped lace at the hem to match the waistline and sheer sections up top, and I just love the bow in the back above the back opening. In addition to the blue and red shown, there is a terrific purple choice that made me very happy too.

My appointment earlier went well, unlike the hockey game I watched this evening...my team lost pretty badly, just playing like they didn't care anymore, and it is disheartening to their fans. I am not giving up on them, just frustrated. I really need to redo my nails soon, LOL, as the polish I've been wearing for a few weeks is very chipped and worn away in spots. Random but I glanced down while typing and cringed at how bad they look. I have no idea what color I will go with next, so I'll have to glance at my small collection later and see what appeals to me most. I sure wish I had some of the talented SL nail experts to help me in RL with my manicures :) I hope you're all having a lovely day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Treats At The Free Dove

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we are visiting The Free Dove, which is freshly renovated and looking fantastic, to pick up a few of the many generous gifts from dozens of thoughtful designers. We were here earlier in the month for the mini hunt, which has a few days remaining if you didn't finish it (see the signs located throughout the building) but this post is focused on the gifts we do not have to search for :) Many designers have individual displays with multiple gifts available, but I was feeling a bit random today and wanted to show you some gifts from a variety of stores. All of the gifts at The Free Dove can be yours for free just by joining their free group and wearing the "Blessed by a Dove" group tag when you click them. It is easy and doesn't cost a thing, and there are fashions for men and women as well as accessories, skin, shapes, hair, and much more. All of tonight's looks are on the same Womens Casual Clothing display. 

First I tried on the lovely Kelsey Dress Rose gift from TRS Designs. This vibrantly colored mini comes in sizes for Altamura, eBody Curvy, Freya, Hourglass, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Tonic Curvy, Tonic Fine, and Tonic Minim mesh bodies. Its style is elegant in its simplicity, and you will really stand out in a sea of black dresses. 

Next we have the wonderful BoA DeSiGN Katja outfit, another gift that I could not resist :) It consists of the top, skirt, and vest each in Freya, Isis, Hourglass, Legacy, and Maitreya sizes, with sleeves to fit Legacy and Maitreya bodies. There is an outfit HUD that offers 4 choices each for the top, skirt, and panties (built into the skirt) in pre-selected combinations of colors and image on the top. The sleeves HUD has 8 colors to choose from, to complement just about any combo you chose for the rest of the outfit. As you can see on the right, it looks great without the denim vest and without the sleeves, just wear the ones that suit your mood or personal tastes.

For a cool spring evening, I highly recommend wearing the gift from [satus Inc] called Karen Sweater Dress Bohemian. It includes fitmesh standard sizes along with Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP mesh body versions. The vertical stripes are very flattering and have so many nice colors that you could accessorize with just about any shoes and jewelry hues you wish.

The gift from May24 is called Diana Dress, a beautiful wrapped maxi dress with 3/4 length sleeves and fun neckline. There are 16 options on the texture HUD, 10 patterns and 6 solid colors, so you are sure to find one for any taste. I was in a print mood it seems, especially seeing bird silhouettes on the right :) The dress is provided in sizing for Freya, Legacy+Perky, and Maitreya mesh bodies. 

One more look this evening, I chose the CAMILLA GOWN by BA Store which stands for Black Angel. You will look polished and quite stylish in this formal dress, which comes in standard mesh sizes plus versions for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP mesh bodies. There is also a HUD included with 5 options each for the corset, skirt, and straps in the back. The ability to mix and match is always appreciated, and I just love HUDs in general for providing versatility. 

It was a quiet day at home here, unlike tomorrow when I have an appointment and will be running a few random errands while I'm out and about. It was cold today and there were snow squalls, but fortunately they were more like blustery flurries that did not stick around on the ground or roads. I have seen a lot of analysis online (twitter, reddit, etc.) of the Oscars incident last night, and I think I still feel the same that both parties were wrong. I don't think she told him to do it, but her negative reaction seemed to motivate him for sure. With a history of bad blood between them, it was probably unwise to mention her at all when there were dozens of other people who could have been gently teased without incident. I still say we don't hit people, use your words not your hands :P  Oh well, it certainly got people talking. I hope you're all having a beautiful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

MGSN Group Goodies

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I explored to find some gifts for the MGSN group, which stands for Maitreya Gifts, Sales & News. It is not affiliated with the official Maitreya brand, but a collective of designers who create for their body (usually among others) and want to let Maitreya fans like myself know when they have something new or discounted. Many offer a free gift for anyone who visits them with the MGSN group tag active, and whether I feature them or not I am immensely grateful to each and every one :) My method for finding the gifts is to randomly look through group notices and visit the stores who are active to see what I can find. 

My first look this evening comes from GeMyles, and is their Celesta Outfit. You can find it upstairs near the lucky chairs with their other gifts for various groups, and just right click, pay $1L, and you will be refunded automatically while the gift is delivered. The off-shoulder top comes in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizes, while the leather mini skirt is provided in sizes for eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine bodies. The strappy boots fit Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique bodies. In addition to all of those, there is a HUD included with 32 colors we can choose from to tint the shirt and boots together. Against the black skirt and trim of the boots, all of the possible colors are going to look fantastic!

Another "don't miss" location is Tiffany Designs, where we have a fixed landing point so we click Gifts Room on the teleporter to find their ::TD:: Loli Dress {Mesh} ~ Model 1 gift for MGSN. This one-shouldered mini has a really great texture that looks to have materials enabled since it has a lot of reflectivity. The gift includes a fitmesh M size for classic avatars, along with sizing for Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Ocacin, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, Tonic Fine, and Voluptuous mesh bodies. I am inclined to add a bold pair of shoes either patterned or a bright solid color, and some similarly hued jewelry if I really want to jazz things up.

Next we have another black dress that is also far from basic :) This is the Fedra Sexy Silky Mini Dress from The Best Of Me, with a fun handkerchief hemline and peaked strapless neckline that is held in place by SL magic ;) There are sizes provided for Altamura Sofia, eBody Classic, eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh bodies. I am really fond of the pale gold trim, and the combo of black and gold in general, so this dress absolutely caught my eye.

[WellMade] has a room dedicated to group gifts, their own group and many others that of course includes MGSN. That is where I claimed the charming Quinn Dress you see here :) It comes in eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh body sizes, with a HUD offering both colors shown of the leopard print. Personally I prefer wearing artistic recreations of animal print like this, so that it is more an homage to mother nature's creativity with a playful twist.

For my final look of the evening, I visited {Le'La} and headed up the stairs to the group gifts wall and claimed this wonderful Zeya Outfit. Its cropped top and belted mini skirt each come in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique bodies, with a HUD offering 5 color choices for each. The blue denim panel on the skirt stays the same regardless of the color selected for the rest of the skirt, and I love the ability to mix and match. The style says spring to me, maybe because it covers the shoulders but bares the midriff and legs so we can enjoy some seasonal breezes.

Whew, what an evening! I got distracted by watching the Oscars because of the Will Smith and Chris Rock incident, and if you didn't see it I am sure you will hear about it soon enough. My thoughts are mixed on it, with my first reaction being that we don't hit people when we have a problem with them. Health conditions are no laughing matter though, so nobody was really right in my mind. Other than that, LOL, my weekend was pretty good and I had a nice time at the farmers market. I am still amused by the Boston terrier who makes dolphin sounds when he gets excited, and of course I was delighted to get to pet him. Anytime I get a chance to pet a friendly dog, with their human's permission, I will gladly do so :) It started raining a bit when I was almost ready to leave, so I was indoors for the bulk of the bad weather at least. I'm still wondering what made me decide to put on the Oscars when I don't usually watch any of the awards shows, it's like I sensed something worth witnessing was coming. Hmm. Oh well, I hope you all enjoyed your weekend, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Springtime in Kiyomizu

 Hiya everyone! Tonight's post features some of the wonderful free prizes from the Kiyomizu Spring Hunt 2022, which starts at the Kiyomizu Mall and continues at some of the mainstores of the designers who have branches there. The gifts are hidden with ninja cats, some of which are resized smaller than others, but they all reward you with a free treat just for finding and clicking them. The hunt signs at each store are very cleverly scripted to tell you exactly how many cats are hiding there, also serving to verify that there is (at least) one ready there. Please click a floating ghost above one of the walkways of this outdoor mall to get a list of what kitties you've found so far and where you still need to go, as it makes it easy to ensure that you visit all the mainstores in addition to combing the mall thoroughly enough. We have until the 3rd of April to track down all the cute cats, so have fun with them!

My first look this evening is the Shiorin's Mart prize called =CS= KIYOMIZU HUNT PRIZE 2022SPRING-1. Its shirt with built in tie and pleated mini skirt are each provided in Legacy and Maitreya mesh body sizes. The sleeves match the skirt perfectly with their familiar plaid pattern, and the tie has pretty pink flowers that definitely feel like spring. My nails here are another hunt prize, the KoCha - Nail_Spring Pink C which are a mixed manicure on a Maitreya applier HUD. Just one quick click will polish your nails in various solid shades of pink with a few carefully decorated with white floral nail art. 

Next I changed into the M*Motion C22 KYMZ Spring Dress prize. This strapless mini has tiers of ruffles in shades of grey and mint with a charming pink trim, and is designed to fit the Maitreya mesh body. This type of style makes me think of dancing, maybe from the flappers of the 1920s, and if it reminds me of a fancy bakery cake that just means I might be hungry ;) Gorgeous no matter what it calls to mind though.

The ninja kitty at SHOP KERO has a fun Spring Blouse Suit waiting for all who find and click it. The gift includes the blouse and skirt each in sizes for Freya, Isis, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies, along with a HUD with 10 colors each for the top, collar, skirt, and belt. We can do some mixing and matching with our lovely floral blouse and solid colored pencil skirt to create a look that is all our own. 

If you are ready for warmer climates and need a hot new look, please visit Frangipani Garden to claim their *FG* Greg & Monique Fabulous Swimwear prize. The "Monique" part of the gift is this eye-catching outfit to fit the Maitreya mesh body, while the matching Greg swim trunks come in Adam, Greg, and Gianni sizes for the men. Be sure to pass this info along to any of your friends who wear male mesh bodies :)

For my final look of the evening, I paired two prizes in shades of a very traditional spring hue. The dress is our .*.Jury PoP.*. Haruno Tunic Wanpi-Green- prize, with an oh-so-cozy looking fleecy texture, slit pockets, and scalloped midlength sleeves. It says "Spring" on the front in the purple circle above an adorable bunny, thus combining two wonderful seasonal colors. It is included in fitmesh S, M, L sizes as well as Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh body versions. As for my nails, they are the Hapi*Rabi Nails Peridot -kth, a beautiful prize of mesh nails that are easy to wear by just hiding your hand's built in nails and adding the appropriate size nails. We receive Belleza, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn versions to fit several popular bodies. Just look at the shades of green that lean yellow in the center and teal on the edges, and the stunning gemstone on each nail! *chef's kiss* They look great with this dress but will easily coordinate with much of our spring wardrobes.

Are you ready for the weekend? I am, even if my stomach is still overly sensitive and moody. I enjoyed dinner with my parents tonight, and am most likely going to the farmers market in the morning with a game plan of not eating anything (samples galore!) while there. I only wind up nibbling on samples when someone creates something new, which lately has been Thai dishes since that chef brings lots of variety :) A very frustrating hockey game just ended, but there is another one Sunday that means another chance. I hope you all have a fantastic weekend ahead, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Treats from Alma Miranda

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we are headed to the AlmaMiranda store, where you can find several free gifts with no group tag needed, as well as a few for various free groups. I even have a subscriber gift to share that will not take up a precious group slot, but still allow you to receive news from AlmaMiranda. Their products have a flirty style that I appreciate, and a generally reasonable price point that can be helpful to all who are watching their budgets. 

My first look of the evening is a wonderful free gift called .: AlmaMiranda :. Maitreya Denim Dress. It has a crossed halter neckline and bare back, and as the name implies it does fit the Maitreya mesh body perfectly. There is a HUD provided with 8 colors to choose from, so your denim can look fairly traditional or dyed for extra pizzazz. Also, I have to say it...it has pockets!!! :) 

Man, I feel like a woman! This is another free gift called .: AlmaMiranda :. Woman Day GIFT 2022. The tank top and asymmetrical wrap skirt are each provided in Freya, Isis, Kupra, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh body sizes. I really like the black leather of the skirt and the touches of leathery trim on the lace-covered top. The subtle dip at the navel means you could wear this to show off a new belly button piercing or tattoo.

The current subscriber gift is the charming .: AlmaMiranda :. Subscriber Gift April, a top with plunging neckline both front and back, and a ruffled micro mini skirt with petite bows on the front. Each piece is included in sizes for Altamura, Eve Pulpy, Eve Slim, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP mesh bodies. The colors and the chevron design definitely caught my eye just as much as the flirty styling :)

If you are not already a member of the Mesh Body Friends group, it is free to join and considerably helpful to have among your groups. Its tag will also allow you to claim this lovely .: AlmaMiranda :. Mesh Body Friends gift :) The strapless sheath dress has two patterns that both feature pretty shades of pink, in fitmesh S, M, and L for classic avatars as well as Freya, Venus, Maitreya, Ocacin, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, Tonic Fine, and Voluptuous mesh body versions. I think the black trim and bow really make the other colors pop!

For my final look this evening, I slipped into the .: AlmaMiranda :. Fitmesh Fanatics 15K group gift, which can be yours for free with the corresponding group tag (free to join) active. Just click the vendor and click deliver, as with all of the various goodies tonight :) This fetching halter mini has a fun swirly pattern in great shades of blue, with cutout sides that lead to a mostly bare back. The skirt flares out ever so slightly, raising up on each side to really show off our legs. It comes in sizes for eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique bodies as well as a standard fitted version for classic avatars. 

It was a quiet day, then an exciting hockey game that my team actually won for once ;) My stomach is still rather unhappy, but I am most likely going to my parents' tomorrow for dinner and keeping my fingers crossed that I feel better by then. I've had digestive issues for decades and they are certainly aware of it, so they will be sympathetic and understanding either way. I hope you're all having a nice day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Fabulous and Free Elegance

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I was in the mood to see what FabFree group gifts are available, since there is always something new waiting for us. The FabFree in SL group is the inworld presence of the blog by the same name, which has been a huge part of my entire time in SL with helpful information along with all the free and affordable offerings. Their group will always have a place in my group slots and in my heart :) I tend to share the older group gifts here, since they might get changed out sooner so we don't miss out. In looking through the gifts I found several that are more on the formal side, so I made that a mini theme for the post in case you have a fancy club or event, or just wish to dress up for fun. There are so many generous designers who are part of the FabFree family, and they all have my sincere gratitude.

My first look is the PEARL evening dress #09 gift from AsHmOoT. This gift includes sizes for Freya, Isis, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies, all in that striking pale green color. The single shoulder strap and daring slit up to the hip add to the romantic mystique.

I also found a terrific gift at [Pink Icing] Lola FF Exc, so this gown seems to be an exclusive for the Fab Free group. It looks gorgeous in a delicate powder blue shade, and comes in Freya, Isis, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies. I adore the crossed halter neckline and sexy side slit, making this not your average formal look ;) To claim this gift, just right click the photo and pay $1L, which will be immediately refunded while the gift is delivered to you.

Next I visited FurtaCor, whose FabFree gift is their Arya Dress seen here. The top and skirt are each provided in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique bodies, with a fantastic HUD that offers 20 textures each for the top, strap, skirt, waist, and bow. There are pretty patterns and coordinating solid colors among our choices, so we can get creative with mixing and matching. 

The FabFree gift at No Shot is their ~NS~ Winter Mermaid Tail Evening Dress, whose name gives me the feeling that it is now a limited time offer since spring is finally here :) The dress comes in Frost and Wine colors, each in standard mesh sizes as well as eBody Classic, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP mesh body versions. Both have embroidery trimming the bodice and hemline including that mid-thigh front slit, and the petite train adds to the glamour too.

My final look of the evening is certainly less formal but just as irresistible! This is the MONOMANIA - BohoWish Strawberry gift for FabFree, a playful sundress in sizes for Belleza Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP mesh bodies as well as a standard classic version for classic avatars. The vibrant color is certainly reminiscent of fresh strawberries, and the trim has a delightful embroidered pattern bursting with colors.

Well, my anxiety is a little better today but my stomach is still moody, so I am just trying to enjoy the small improvement. I have another day with no particular plans so I can try to get more rest, and maybe I can watch a show or movie during the day. I hope you're all having a lovely day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Spring Assortment

 Hiya everyone! Tonight felt like an evening for variety, so I have some lovely prizes and offers to share from different places at varying price points too. Sometimes we want to splurge on ourselves and other occasions it is nice to find a bargain, so whatever your mood is I am hoping to help out :) I started with the Spring Air Hunt 3, in which a very cute turtle will reward us for finding him and paying just $3L. The hunt is by Harambee Hunts, which is a fundraising effort to help Kenya and surrounding areas with projects such as education and agriculture. Then I found a wonderful Fitmesh Fanatics group gift at one of the hunt stops, so that will appear here also. We are also visiting the Spring Fling once more, as there are plenty of terrific items for sale including discounted merchandise and an exclusive from each participating designer. They also each offer a gift for $25L or less, so I definitely suggest checking out the charming region.

My first look is a hunt prize from the Harambee Gwassi Kenya charity store, the beautiful Malindi Long Dress. It has bare shoulders, formfitting sleeves and bodice, and a tiered skirt that all feature the same very pretty geometric pattern. The dress is included in sizes for eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies. 

Next I visited Telsiope's Couture, whose hunt prize is the marvelous Avril dress shown here. It looks like it was designed for (or by) faeries, with pink ruffles and trim on a watercolor print of pink and aqua. When you find their adorable turtle and pay him $3L, you will receive Altamura, eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP mesh body sizing. 

Don't leave Telsiope's Couture just yet, as there are several generous group gifts in front of the steps such as this Tilda FMF dress. The ruched styling makes this very figure flattering, and the color is one of my favorites. Sizes include Freya, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite mesh body versions. The Fitmesh Fanatics group is free to join, and there are many designers who also offer gifts at their stores for this group. 

Time to head over to Spring Fling, where the [Ari-Pari] exclusive offer is their Spring Flowers Outfit. For just $250L we get the bare shouldered top and slender pants each in Freya, Isis, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizes. There is also a HUD with 10 texture choices and 3 metals for each, with the top being floral patterns and the pants are all solid colors that match the flowers just right. Mixing and matching is still an option since there are different hues among each floral choice, and I really like the bare midriff for spring against the long sleeves and long pants. 

I kept those pants on to share my final look of the night, the $10L gift at the same display called [Ari-Pari] Verdant Henley Top. There are 6 shades of green to select from on the HUD, and the top itself is provided in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh body sizes. I like the way it is raised to appear slightly tucked into whatever pants you decide to wear it with, and there is something so appealing about a ribbed knit shirt as a casual classic.

I have had more stomach issues today, in addition to another panic attack which makes two days in a row. It has been a long time since I had them that close together, so clearly I need to work on maintaining calm. While not a great day, I am still doing my best to explore things in SL to find some new favorites to share with all of you. If I miss a day posting, it probably means I needed more rest or just some downtime from the computer. I hope you're all having a pleasant day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Siss Boom Lucky Boards

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I decided to see what new lucky board gifts await at Siss Boom, where there are about 40 different prizes that we can win without any particular group tag necessary. Fortune smiled on me I guess, as I did win several treats that I'm excited to get to share here :) The letters on the boards change quickly, and they also have "?" wild cards where anyone can claim the prize, so it is a great idea to bring a friend or two (hopefully with different initials than you, LOL) and hang out for a little while.

For my first look, I am wearing the charming -sb-powder peach prize. This sundress styled frock has slender straps and a double layered skirt, in white and pale pastel peach. The prize includes fitmesh standard sizes as well as Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh body versions.

Next we see the beautiful -sb-sorbet blue dress, with a strapless sweetheart neckline and tight bodice leading to a full asymmetrical hemline. The top is embroidered with rose lace on the cups and smaller floral lace on the midriff, for a really feminine look. If you win this prize, you will receive sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies. 

For a burst of color, I am also grateful for the -siss boom-spring forward bright dress prize! It comes in Altamura, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP mesh body sizes. The style starts with a bra top that is connected to a tiered, lace-edged skirt with bold floral pattern. The lower layer especially has fun micro pleats to give the skirt extra movement. 

Another great addition to any spring wardrobe is the -siss boom-details turquoise dress. It comes in two versions, the original on the left above and the rose texture on the right, each in sizing for eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP mesh bodies. The rose right shoulder with resize script is also included, and since it is a separate accessory you can decide to wear it or leave it off. I really like the lacy skirt and the loose bows tied above the bell sleeves!

My final look of the evening is the -siss boom-at home red prize, a charming off-shoulder dress with an intricate sketched artwork pattern. The lace on the hem is a fun touch, as is the gathered elastic holding the neckline in place :) This prize includes sizes for Freya, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies.

Mondays are not usually a favorite day of the week for most of us, and mine was productive but not necessarily fun. The ultrasound went really well and it was a very quick appointment even compared to the x-ray last week. I had loose comfortable clothing on and didn't need to change into a gown or anything, which saved on time, and the technician was both friendly and efficient. That is a winning combo in a situation like that, where you just want to get in and out while being treated kindly. I am still having trouble staying asleep like I did the past few days, so it would be nice if that could clear up very soon. I hope you're all having a peaceful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
