Freedom of Summer

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I'd like to invite you to the Freedom of Summer 3 Fair & Hunt, where there are many exclusive or discounted offers with proceeds going to charity, as well as free gifts and a $3L hunt for dolphin plushies. The signs said it was open until July 15th, but I saw a mention on a hunt website indicating it lasts until the 15th of August...since we are nearly 2 weeks past the 15th of July, and it's still going strong, I am hopeful that it will remain open until the mid-August date :) So the charity is the Harambee Gwassi Kenya Schools non profit organization, and you will find plenty of intriguing information on the good work they do while you visit and on their website :) The hunt prizes are pictured there too, with photos of the gifts that I noticed ranged from $0L - $10L or so. There is a lot to see, so come shopping for a good cause!

The free gift from Emerald Couture is their EC Rain Dress Gray. This beautiful mini dress hugs our curves and is trimmed with scalloped lace at the hemline, so pretty! There are standard mesh sizes as well as Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, and Sapphira mesh bodies provided. 

Next we take a look at the charming Trina plain dress from Telsiope's Couture. This free dress fits Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique bodies, with a 4 color HUD so you can choose your favorite hue. The long sleeves are a cozy touch, balanced by the short swingy hem.

I also found a generous free gift at the AnaSTyle display, their sexy Orkidea Black&Gold - Dress. It is mostly sheer golden lace, with black bodice and center front panel. The little gold bows on the front are a playful touch, aren't they? I am also very fond of the trio of straps in the back that link to the shoulder straps, forming a bit of a web across our back. The gift includes Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh body sizing.

[C.Y<3Fashion] is offering their *Dory*DRESS as their free gift for all visitors. It fits Freya, Isis, Hourglass, and Maitreya mesh bodies, with a HUD to select from 6 colors each for the top, skirt, and belt. These can be mixed and matched to suit any mood or personal preferences :) The combination of lace and sequins against the solid skirt makes for an exciting look.

My final look of the evening is a closer view of the :::: FRIDA Nails :::: lilac--SQUARE gift I've been enjoying this evening. These long and lavish bento mesh nails include sizes for Belleza, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Slink, and Tonic hands, so just use your body's HUD to hide the built in nails and add the appropriate version. Lilac is one of my favorite shades of my favorite color purple, so this free gift makes me extremely happy and grateful :)

Today was another warm one, but a peaceful one at home so I am doing okay. We had some brief but severe thunderstorms this evening, then more are expected tomorrow which may mean no dinner at my parents' again. The weather really seems against us getting together lately :P  Oh well, at least the climate in SL can be exactly what we choose, so I can visit sunny places that make me smile whenever I log in. I hope you're all having a beautiful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
