Group Gifts From May24

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we are visiting the charming store called May24, where you will find a nice selection of quality fashions including several group gifts. Their group is currently free to join, so I am eager to show you several of those gifts that can be yours for absolutely no cost. I became acquainted with this designer from their participation in several different events, which in general seems to be a terrific way to find stores whose offerings suit your individual tastes and budget. 

My first look this evening is the flirty May24 - Phoebe Dress - Group Gift. It has a plunging neckline and cutouts on both sides, with a dramatic asymmetrical hemline that bares the entire left leg for added va-va-voom :) There are Erika, Freya, Legacy+Perky, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh body sizes included, as well as a HUD to select from 8 fun color choices. The pale golden clasp on the left hip goes well with all the possible colors and is another eye-catching little detail.

This sweet frock is another gift, the May24 - Irene Dress - Feb Group Gift. The strapless dress and upper layer are each provided in sizes for Freya, Kupra, Legacy+Perky, and Maitreya bodies, separates so you can decide if you wish to wear the dress with or without the extra component. There is also a HUD with 5 colors for each, so we can mix and match the pretty hues. 

Maybe you crave something a little darker in color, but still fun and feminine? If so I highly recommend the May24 - Rosie Mini Dress group gift. There are red and blue versions (referring to the roses on the skirt) each in sizing for Freya, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh bodies. I really like the wide ruffle beneath the bared shoulders, and it seems to be a flattering look on many shapes and sizes. 

Next I shimmied into the May24 - Jian Dress - Group Gift, and have just realized that I wound up choosing Miami Dolphins colors, LOL! This spaghetti strap bodycon dress has a slightly diagonal hem thanks to the left side being lifted and tied with a fun bow to match the main dress. There are Freya, Kupra, Legacy+Perky, and Maitreya sizes included, with a 15 color HUD so you can select the hue that makes you smile. 

My final look this evening is the retro May24 - Esther Dress - Group Gift. With its handkerchief hem and softly puffed sleeves, the style is classic and versatile for a fun day shopping or a night out exploring. It comes in Freya, Legacy+Perky, Maitreya, and Reborn body sizes, with a HUD that offers 6 textures. Some of these are solid like the red on the right, but a few have a main color with contrasting trim like the collar, belt, and sleeve cuffs on the left above. Simple pumps will look great with it, or maybe a Mary Jane style with the straps across the top of the foot? For a really vintage flavor, maybe a charm bracelet and some simple earrings will be nice additions too. 

It was a quiet day but a wild evening, thanks to a hockey game that started a half hour later than I expected (couldn't find the stream at first) that was my team's first win in a while. There were 2 fights in the first 8 seconds of the game, which I think certainly qualifies as wild ;) I am so eager for December to start so we can dig into the many new events, hunts, and Advent calendars, but for now I have a few special things to share so it's all good. I hope you're all having a pleasant day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

How To Look Fabulous

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I was in the mood for variety, and decided to explore the FabFree group gift listing for ones that I hadn't shared yet but were not the most recent. This way you can pick up the gifts that might be closer to the time when the designers will swap them out, so as to not miss out before they are gone :) The FabFree in SL group is always free to join, and their blog is as wonderful as their group which is why I've been a huge fan of both for many years. They keep us informed of sales and events, help us find gifts, and even organize hunts a couple of times a year that I adore. Of course it helps that many of my favorite stores are participating designers, most of whom also offer gifts for anyone wearing the "I Am Fabulous" group tag.

My first look this evening comes from The Annex, and is one of several gifts in boxes on a very low shelf so just look for a grey box in front of the FabFree rainbow logo. This is called Gia Dress FATPACK, and there are 6 colors each in Freya, Hourglass, and Maitreya sizes. I'm wearing dusty rose on the left and mint on the right, and our other choices are beige, blue, gray, and lavender. Those are some great color options, and the tiered style is so pretty with the sequined layer and slender matching belt. 

I also visited Sweet Serenity Designs, who are currently offering multiple gifts for the FabFree group, including this flirty SSD LOGANAH DRESS BROWN. There are sizes for Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite bodies included. The long sleeves are a fun contrast to the short hemline and cutouts on each side.

Another alluring gift is the ::SS:: Dress Sarah (Wine) from Saussi. This strapless mini is gathered in several places and has a bare midriff with ruched straps crossed both front and back for extra visual appeal. It is provided in Erika, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Reborn, and Reborn Juicy sizes, with a HUD for the built in panties with 3 colors and an on/off option. 

Next we have the Via Fulo Christy Dress Purple gift, in a stunning shade of lilac with shimmery pinstripes and a deep V edged in lace. The gift comes in sizing for Erika, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn bodies. I feel like this style could work just as well as lingerie as a dress, thanks to the high cut hip slits and just being generally revealing :) 

My final look of the evening is a generous gift from {Le'La} called Leonesio Outfit Gift 1. The jacket and pants each come in Freya, Isis, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizes, with matching heels that fit Belleza, Legacy, Maitreya, and Slink feet. For a more businesslike appearance you can try layering a blouse beneath, or you can go with a bra top if you want just a little extra coverage but still seductive. I love the color palette for this time of year!

It was a quiet day here, but the evening is getting to be a bit tedious since my stomach is not at its best and I'm feeling extra tired. Those two are probably related...it is tiring when we don't feel our best. At least I don't have a busy week in RL, so I can focus on SL things :) I hope you're all enjoying your day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

REDEUX Event Gifts

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we have a very limited time event to visit, the Black Friday & Cyber Monday by REDEUX sales event. There are 4 little buildings with lots of great designers set up in each, with discounted offers and even a gift for the Synergy group which is free to join. That is what I'm sharing tonight, a sampling of the many generous gifts we can find in cardboard boxes at each display :) The event is only open until noon SL time on the 2nd of December, so we have a few days of shopping and free treats remaining.

My first look is one of two gifts from Faida, their Tammy strippable red. This dress comes in sizes for Legacy and Maitreya mesh bodies, with a HUD that has nice (fully clothed), sexy (one bared breast), and naughty (bare breast and raised hem) settings. I am wearing the nice on the left, and the naughty to the right, but I realized that the skirt was lifted high enough to reveal a bit more than I anticipated LOL, so I plopped a white heart on the picture in photoshop. That is not part of the dress at all, just a little editing for modesty on my part. The deep crimson shade is a real show stopper too!

Our other gift from Faida is this lovely Pearl candy dress, a satiny long sleeved beauty with lace inserts and hem. It also fits Legacy and Maitreya mesh bodies, and is very flattering with that ever so slightly sheer lace and the lilac color of the satin.

I also claimed a thoughtful gift from **Sexy Princess** which is calledLeticia Pink. It consists of the top and skirt each in a standard fitted size as well as eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh body sizes. The strapless top and the skirt hem are each adorned with a ruffle that has a fun floral pattern to go with the soft pink color. 

Next I changed into the Patty Top - Pink from Uncontrollably. This slender tube top is provided in standard mesh sizes along with eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh body versions. There is also a HUD included with 10 different word choices, like the "taken" and "awkward" I've displayed here. That vibrant hot pink color looks wonderful against the black text and trim! I am wearing my favorite Delizio jeans here too, the black pair from their free fatpack on the marketplace. There are system/BOM layers and appliers for Maitreya and Omega in several denim shades.

Finally we have the AtaMe - TeaseMe Flower Skulls Latex dress, a gift that absolutely lives up to that teasing part in the name ;) It looks fairly conservatively styled from the front, then we turn around and see the revealing back view complete with full moon. It comes in Hourglass, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, and Flat sizes. The skulls wearing floral crowns gave me a Goth or Day of the Dead vibe, like darkly festive. Not my usual style, but I like it!

Is anyone else coming to the startling realization that there are only a few weekends left in 2022? I'm pondering where on earth the time has gone, since it really seems to be flying by. That said, I did enjoy my weekend and am gearing up for what promises to be a very busy December both RL and SL. Advent calendars are coming, and plenty of holiday themed events and hunts, so I expect to have all sorts of treats to share :) I hope you're all having a fantastic day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

COCO Group Gifts

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I'd like to share some group gifts we can find at *COCO*, whose group is currently free to join so these generous treats won't cost a thing. They have 3 rows of gifts near the landing area, ladies clothing and some accessories like shoes and sunglasses. I have always enjoyed any visit to their store, as their quality is excellent and they have a wide range from casual to more formal fashions. 

For my first look of the evening I combined two group gifts, starting with the *COCO*_Gift_RacerbackVest_RoseRed. This beautiful blouse is held closed in the front by just one of the buttons, for a flirty appearance that I enjoy. It comes in sizes for Freya, Hourglass, Legacy, Maitreya, and Petite mesh bodies. Then I added the *COCO*_Gift_LinenFlareShorts_Black, which have a dressy style with gentle pleats and rear pockets. There are Freya, Hourglass, Legacy, and Maitreya sizes included in this gift. You can pair the many gift separates in various ways of course, to create your favorite style.

If yesterday's celebration made you long for a beach vacation, make sure you pack your new *COCO*_Gift_TwistBandeauBikini_Gold. The top and bottom are each provided in Freya, Isis, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique body sizes, with the bottom having a thong style and the top being a romantic twisted strapless look. The sunshiny yellow gold color is a fun choice to flatter lots of different skin tones too. 

Another pairing I came up with starts with the *COCO*_Gift_RollUpSleevesBlazer_Floral. It has a pale pink background decorated with pretty bouquets of flowers. The sleeves are pushed up and the front is slightly open, so we could layer a shirt beneath if we wanted to. There are Freya, Isis, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizes provided in this thoughtful gift. I'm wearing it with the *COCO*_Gift_SkinnyJeans_Khaki, a very versatile pair of pants that fit Freya, Hourglass, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh bodies. The color works as a neutral, and the style can go well with lots of other gifts as well as items you already have in your inventory :)

Here I wore the khaki skinny jeans with another great group gift, our *COCO*_Gift_OffShoulderCardigan_DarkBlue. The bare shoulders and barely closed front mean that we can show off some skin, but all vital areas are covered :) We receive sizes for Freya, Isis, Legacy, Maitreya, Petite, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies in this gift. I feel like that neckline would showcase a favorite necklace perfectly, from choker length all the way to something that tickles the cleavage. 

My final look tonight is the sexy *COCO*_Gift_BacklessDress_PaleGreen. The dress and both shoulder bows are each provided in sizing for Freya, Hourglass, Legacy, Maitreya, and Petite sizes, and you can wear the dress with or without the bows since they are individual attachments. Personally I really like them, and I think this would look cute for the chilly weather with a shirt layered beneath too. For that I would probably omit the bows, but I would have to see how it looked before I decided :) 

Thanksgiving was very nice, despite a couple missing people, the older of the 2 cousins tested positive so he and his wife stayed home. His younger brother (they are both younger than me, by 12 and 18 years) and his wife were wonderful company, and we had some intriguing discussions that helped us all get to know each other even better. My houseguest is staying an extra day or so, which means they can accompany us to the farmers market tomorrow :) I'll be taking the evening off from blogging as I usually do on Saturdays, but already have a few ideas of things to share on Sunday. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend ahead, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Winter is Coming

 Hiya everyone! Tonight's post features several treasure hunt prizes from the Winter is Coming event at Wonderland Beach. It is a shopping and treasure hunt event, so we get to explore the area and find wrapped boxes which are about the same size as the treasure chests that you would usually be seeking here :) They are different colors so just keep an eye out for the shape of a wrapped giftbox, most were white with a light blue ribbon/bow but some were red and green or had a different ribbon color. As for the prizes, they range from seasonal home decor to fashions for men and women, with some accessories including antlers and reindeer noses to get ready for Christmas. It's hard to believe that is just over a month away! That coincidentally is when the event ends, the 25th of December, so we have plenty of time to grab demos and enjoy some leisurely shopping while finding generous gifts.

First we have the stunning Lilleth Mills x GLOSSY - Lilac gift. This sleek mini slip dress has lace trim on the bodice for added sex appeal, and fits Freya, Hourglass, Kupra, Kupra Bimbo, Legacy, Maitreya, Reborn, and Reborn Juicy mesh bodies. There is also a special effects HUD included with 24 reflection colors, and settings for glow, shine, environment, and transparency. I have a light teal color selected on the left and a pale orange on the right, if you look very closely, and had a lot of fun playing with the various buttons to adjust things.

I also found a special prize at the (BB Design) display, which is their Open back Babydoll Green. This sexy lingerie set consists of the babydoll with sheer lace top and matching g-string, each in standard mesh sizes along with Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh body versions. That rear view is a real show stopper, isn't it?

Next I changed into the beautiful Red Hot Salsa Micro Mini Dress in Mesh gift from Angel Fae Boutique. It really lives up to the name with that sizzling color and irresistible lacy texture! There are standard mesh sizes provided as well as Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP Legacy mesh body versions. Xan got a kick out of how excited I was to find something with red hot salsa in the name, since I cannot tolerate RL spice and he is very well aware of that fact ;) My avatar however is clearly a fan of hot stuff!

Let it go, let it go...no wait, that's not quite what this says ;) This purple-loving magpie was delighted to claim the Let It Snow Sweater, Jeans and Boots by Moonstar, a generous prize that will work for classic avatars or most mesh bodies. The top and jeans come in system/BOM layers and appliers for Maitreya, Omega, Slink, and Lola, with a collar that can be resized and a pair of boots that can also be adjusted. The boots look so warm and snuggly, and you can easily wear the outfit without the collar if you prefer or if it interferes with your hair. 

My final look this evening is just right for cuddling up in front of a fireplace, especially after a large holiday meal if you are celebrating :) This is the Red Long Johns with Footies by COVETED! and is one of two gifts inside their treasure hunt present, the other being men's cargo pants. The ladies outfit is all one piece in a subtle plaid pattern, with a cute rear flap and buttoned front placket. It includes sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies. The red might make you think of Christmas, but my focus at the moment is purely Thanksgiving :)

I want to wish all my American readers a very very Happy Thanksgiving, and to all of you who are not American or do not celebrate, I wish you a wonderful day as always ♥. I am truly grateful for the opportunity to share my free and affordable findings with all of you, and the chance to share little tidbits of my life both RL and SL. My 'dinner' starts at 1PM so it will be a busy day from the start, and I am excited to see everyone who will be there. We are expecting 11 total I believe, so not a huge gathering but just the right people to make it special. There will be fruit salad (my mom's yearly tradition for 50+ years), two soups, smoked turkey breast and lots of veggie sides, and of course some desserts that I will not have room for by the time we reach that part of the day. Everyone will go home with leftovers, and we are good about not letting discussions get controversial so it should be a pleasant day. No blog post tomorrow evening, and I don't know yet if I'll be able to on Friday but am leaning towards yes. I hope you're all having a beautiful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Gifts from anny's Fashion

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we visit anny's Fashion, a designer whose work I am very familiar with from various events all across the grid. They have a free store group and a couple of free gifts as well as several dollarbie offers for that group, and there is an entire wall dedicated to gifts for other groups as well. I appreciate their generosity and am delighted to share a sampling of these various gifts! I would describe their general style as sexy and ranging from casual to dressy, a little something for each of us. 

My first look of the evening is a playful strapless mini called [AF] Mhariec Sexy Dress *fatpack*. It is one of the free group gifts, and comes in sizes for Altamura, eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP mesh bodies. There is also a HUD, with 2 dress colors and 24 textures for the belt. The dress choices are delightful denim shades, and the belt options are a mix of solids and patterns that go wonderfully with either dress choice.

The [AF] Juliette Open Side Mini Dress *fatpack* is another free group gift that I gladly claimed :) It has fishnet panels on each hip and an alluring strapless style that is sure to turn heads. There are Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh body sizes included, as well as a 12 color HUD for that fatpack aspect. 

Next I slipped into the [AF] Rebeca Glitter Dress *fatpack* which is a special $1L offer for group members. This affordable beauty has the most striking sequined texturing that looks amazing in any of the 10 colors available on the provided HUD. There are a wide range of sizes included too - Altamura, eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP mesh bodies. I love the way the back of the neckline dips into a modest V, and the tab on the front of the left thigh that raises our hemline even more.

Speaking of plunging backs, this wonderful [AF] Kharlia Harlequin Open Dress *fatpack* is a generous $1L offer for group members, with an amazing rear view and front view. The sheer front is trimmed with solid fabric to cover the essentials, and the crossed straps in the back are slender wisps to accentuate just how much bare back we get to see. The gift includes sizes for Altamura, eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP bodies, with a 6 color HUD for the diamonds between the black ones on the translucent front.

For my final look tonight, I changed clothing and group tags :) This is their gift for the MGSN (Maitreya Gifts, Sales and News) group, which is also free to join. It's called [AF] Antonella Halo Skirt and Shina Top, but is actually a single mesh piece rather than separates. It fits Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP mesh bodies, and there is a HUD with 8 soft satiny hues to pick from. I was drawn to the eye-catching strips above a waist of hexagon shaped fishnet, and would definitely use this as lingerie if it is 'too much' for public wear. I tend to dress my avatar fairly modestly from day to day, but simply could not resist this treat.

It was a busy but productive day here, and I am still unsure about my blogging schedule for the end of the week because of the holiday. My holiday houseguest may be able to stay a bit longer than initially planned, and that is good news but of course could affect timing of things. A lot will depend on how late Thursday's dinner runs and how exhausted I am when I get home, as I usually prep a blog post in the wee hours the morning before (so these pics/notes were taken like 17 hours ago). It's just a bit of chaos, LOL, nothing I am not used to by now. I hope you're all having a lovely day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

More Treats from Black Friday Bazaar

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I have more gifts to share from the Black Friday Bazaar 5 event, which can be yours completely free with the Evil Bunny Hunts "I'm Evil!" group tag active. There are a few dozen treats in small black gift bags with a framed photo of the gift next to each, so you even get to see what you're claiming before you bring it home and unpack everything like a mini-early-Christmas :) If you appreciate saving money as I do, there are offerings with 25-50% discounts at each display too, even more generosity from the participating designers. We have just over a week left to visit as this event wraps up on the 29th of the month. 

My first look tonight comes from the Spells & Charms display, their {S&C} Nova Dress (green) gift. It is sure to put some shine in your day with that gorgeous texture, and the back is exposed with just some pretty golden chains holding things together. Our gift includes Erika, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn mesh body sizes. 

For a beautiful dress you can wear two different ways, you'll want to claim the God Mod Moon fae dress - Sky gift. The dress and separate sleeves each fit Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique bodies, so you can decide if adding the sleeves suits your mood or not :) The diaphanous material is embossed with white crescent moon images that are quite detailed for a very magical look.

The *Gloss* Charloth Outfit GIFT made me think of a Mrs. Claus who might be on a naughty list! No judgment, but the north pole might be a bit too cold for this look so we'll just enjoy it instead. It is a one-piece outfit in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies, with slender tube top and frilly mini skirt held together by suspenders. So sexy!

There is certainly a variety among these generous gifts, as evidenced by the elegant .:: L.F ::. Eduarda Dress from Luxury Fashion. This dramatic gown is provided in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP sizes, with gold bracelets for each wrist, and a handy HUD with 10 texture options. A couple of them are floral patterns like I'm wearing on the left, with a wide range of solid hues like the deep purple to the right above. I see a sheen that makes me think this dress has materials enabled for those who use that particular setting in your viewers.

My final look of the night is a classy casual outfit that will help you get through this week in style. It is the Emi's Attic ~ Sarabeth Outfit gift, and consists of the tied tank top and belted jeans each in sizing for Freya, Isis, Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh bodies. The maroon shade of the top is a perfect choice for this time of year, and the deeply pigmented denim jeans make them feel a little more dressy than average I think. Not that I don't love a well worn cozy pair too...the 80s teen in me still responds to all denim with a smile. 

The next several days will be rather busy here, as tomorrow I have an appointment and then a holiday houseguest arrives Wednesday night. That leads of course to Thursday and Friday, the holiday itself and the day of recovery from all that food, travel, and rushing around ;) I haven't decided yet what my blogging schedule will look like, but I'll be here tomorrow evening as usual and the next day for sure. I hope you're all having a terrific day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we begin to explore the Black Friday Bazaar event, brought to us by Evil Bunny Productions/Hunts. If you have the Evil Bunny Hunts group tag active (I'm Evil!) you can claim a few dozen generous group gifts for absolutely no cost, and there are exclusive offers for sale as well as discounted selections for 25-50% savings. It just opened on the 19th and runs until the 29th, so time is of the essence but I think you'll see how worthwhile it is to hurry over there. The sales items are clearly labeled with their discounted percentage, and the gifts are inside black drawstring style gift bags with a framed photo of the gift next to each one.

For my first look this evening, I am enjoying the [Pixel Doll] Mirella Outfit 02 gift I picked up at their display. The top, skirt, and panties will fit Freya, Isis, Hourglass, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn mesh bodies, while the matching shoes come in sizes for Belleza, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Reborn, and Slink high feet. I really appreciate the knit texture and the playful heart pattern.

Another generous full outfit can be found in the gift from Allure Couture, which is their Rayleen Jeans Outfit Lilac. The long sleeved shirt falls right above the waistline and has a high neck in the front, but that rear view is extra sexy with the wide opening laced loosely together. The top and tinted jeans are each included in sizes for Freya, Isis, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Slink Hourglass, and Slink Hourglass Petite mesh bodies, while the matching strappy heels are designed for Belleza, Legacy, Maitreya, and Slink high feet. Having footwear that matches an outfit perfectly is always a plus in my book, spoken as someone who often runs around the grid barefoot if I can't find a pair of shoes in the first few minutes of looking in my inventory ;)

Next we have the BQ::Bambi Mini Dress:: Autumn GIFT from BlondeQueen. This sensuous halter dress has a plunging back that reveals considerable booty cleavage, but the front is decorated with a very cute embroidered patch with pumpkins and a friendly crow who seems happy about this season :) The gift includes Freya, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh body sizes. 

I've been imagining all the wonderful things I could pair this next gift with, and I am happy to say that the possibilities are just about endless! This is the [Ari-Pari] Holiday Velvet Top, and it is cropped but just loose enough to fall delicately for a fluttery appearance. I love the soft textures! There are sizes for eBody Reborn, Kupra, Kups, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn Juicy bodies, and we also receive a HUD with 9 colors to choose from. The red here made me think of cardinals, and the tan color is called nutmeg like one of the spices in pumpkin pie. 

The exclusive offer from [Ari-Pari] is this playful Neva Outfit, which can be yours for just $125L if you visit the Bazaar :) The cropped tank top and formfitting shorts each come in eBody Reborn, Kupra, Kups, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite bodies. There is also a HUD of course, and there are 20 texture choices for each piece...10 colors, a mix of bold and pastel, each with or without the pretty snowflake pattern. This way you can enjoy this pretty much year round, just adding to this outfit's versatility. 

It was a decent weekend here, and I am still working out a few last minute details for the Thanksgiving planning since it's just a few days away now. Geez, time is flying lately! Things are mostly under control, and it will be a pleasure to spend time with loved ones and share some tasty food as well as fun chats. I hope you're all having a lovely day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Happy Birthday Abstrakt

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I'd like to invite you to the 2nd birthday round of the Abstrakt Event, which they are celebrating as so many generous events do - with gifts for the visitors from nearly every participating designer. They are free to members of the OH MY! group which is free to join and seems to be the organizers of the event. I was very impressed by the offerings that I found for sale too, with so many exclusives that are created especially for this round. We have until the 5th of December to visit, but I was too eager to wait that long ;)

For my first look tonight, I slipped into the .::Pariah::. Creep Top & Shorts gift. The top includes sizes for Kupra, Kupra Corset Squeezed, Kups, Legacy, Perky, Legacy Pushup Nerido, Maitreya, Petite, Reborn, and Reborn Juicy Boobs, with the shorts to fit Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn bodies. We also receive a HUD with 10 colors for each, with all the tops saying CREEP and the shorts decorated with a smiley face that has either horns or antennae? Either way he's in a daring location, and too cute to be a creep.

This beauty is the AtaMe - Lilly Abstrakt Gift dress. There are Kupra, Legacy, and Maitreya sizes included, with a HUD that offers 5 metallic hues for the top, 6 colors for the skirt, and 4 levels of transparency for the skirt. The full split skirt does resemble flower petals, and the corset top looks like it was crafted by a talented metal smith.

Another generous designer is REVERSE, whose gift for us is called <R> Vera GIFT. It consists of the dress and boots in sizes for Freya, Legacy, and Maitreya bodies, as well as a HUD with 3 color choices for the dress, and matching black earrings. The black boots go with all three colors as you can see (the third color not shown is black) and the style of the dress is delightfully flirty!

Next I changed into the amazing Nora CROW dress, our gift from Virtual Diva. It has materials enabled so your ambient lighting will be reflected on its surface beautifully, making it far from basic black :) There are Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh body sizes included. The halter style makes me happy, and of course the inspiration of a beautiful bird appeals to this avid bird lady.

My final look tonight is the ZFG gift called KILLER. It is a loose fitting t-shirt dress in sizing for BBL, Freya, Hourglass, Jessica, Katena, Kupra, Kups, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh bodies. The front reads "Pick your Poison" and "Drink at your own risk" so I would consider this a warning to anyone who might mess with someone wearing it ;) I feel like this just needs some spiky jewelry and combat boots to complete the look, oohh maybe with some fishnets!

It was a quieter day here than expected, since my dinner at my parents' was canceled for reasons beyond my control. I'm still going to the farmers market tomorrow though, and very much looking forward to it :) I hope you all have a wonderful weekend ahead, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
