On The 5th Day Of Advent

 Hiya everyone! Today I'm making up my own words to a classic holiday song...on the fifth day of Advent, lovely SL designers gave to meeeee...exciting gifts that you can claim too. Sorry it doesn't rhyme but I'm too eager to get to the gifts to spend more time pondering the lyrics ;) These gifts are generally only free on the date they are released, but a few Advent boards are set up to deliver prior days and some stores will sell them for a nominal fee after the date has passed for those who missed them. It is entirely up to the designers since it is their generous gifts :) All of the ones I share will either need a free group tag to claim them or no particular tag, so I have nicknamed December "group slot shuffle month". Some of the groups are temporarily free just for the Advent timeframe, so joining those and staying in them if you can is a very wise idea.


My charming first look of the day is our gift from DM Design called Paruna Outfit. The classy dress with side buttons and built in belt is provided in Freya, Isis, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh body sizes. Then the matching ankle boots fit Belleza, Legacy, Maitreya, and Slink feet. We also receive a HUD with 12 colors for each, so you can tint your dress and boots to suit your tastes. To claim this gift and all of the DM advent treats, please join their free group and have the tag active when you click.


This gorgeous look is today's Emerald Couture advent gift called EC Libi Outfit Mauve. Their group is free to join, and that tag gives you access to all of their Advent gifts as well as several group gifts, lucky chairs/boards, and midnight manias in the next room. The lovely Libi dress and panties are each included in standard mesh sizing as well as Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP mesh body sizes. The coordinated heels are in Belleza, Maitreya, Slink, and unrigged versions to fit as many of us as possible. I am very fond of all shades of purple and pink, and this mauve looks particularly smart with the contrasting black!


Change your group tag to Blackbird Lace's group (free to join) and give today's date a click on their Advent board to receive this stunning Linda gown. It has a single strap and daring hip-baring side slit, with a set of hip pearls in the same sizes as the dress: Freya, Isis, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies. There is also a HUD so your dress can be your choice of 18 pretty colors, all of which give off a fantastic satin sheen. Don't teleport away just yet though...


Blackbird Lace's sister store (the designers are partners) is Black Angel, and instead of teleporting you can just head out BL's front door and turn right, then walk to the first store you see which is Black Angel. Their group is also free to join, and necessary for the generous Advent calendar board to get treats like today's KARINA LINGERIE by BA Store. This looks like two pieces but wears as one, in sizes for Altamura, Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Signature Alice, Star, Tonic Curvy, Tonic Fine, and Tonic Minim mesh bodies. As if that wide range isn't enough, we also (as you can guess from the photo) find an 18 color HUD inside our gift, so this sexy lace confection can be just the right hue for our holiday dreams.


For my final look of the day, you don't even need a group tag to claim this gift :) It is the zOOm - Elisa Minidress, and I love the flirty style with crossed back straps that loop around through the front to tie gently and hold things together. There are Freya, Hourglass, Legacy and Maitreya sizes included, with a HUD offering 5 beautiful pastel shades that all have pale polka dots decorating them. I predict I will be wearing this right on into next spring and even summer! There are still almost 3 weeks left of Advent too, so lots more treats from all of these generous designers.

I am not really a morning person, so I'm just hoping everything here makes sense and there aren't too many typos to make you all think I'm drunk instead of just tired. In the past 10 hours I have only left this desk 3 brief times, so it makes sense that I'd be getting drowsy. Tomorrow's post and the next few after that will be my usual evening timing, as I have several non-Advent things to share as well :) There are more events and hunts that I'm looking forward to sharing too, but will probably have more Advent blogs this time next week. I hope you're all having a beautiful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
