Basalia's Fine Fashion

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we visit a new-to-me store called Basalia's Fine Fashion, who offer fashions specifically crafted for the Maitreya Lara body. Any survey I have seen in the past few years indicates this is the most worn mesh body on the market, so if you are one of the many Maitreya fans (like myself) you can join the free BFF store group and claim about a dozen gifts at no cost. I appreciated the range of styles and colors, as variety is important to me :) In addition to the dresses seen here tonight, there were bikinis and a Christmas seasonal skirt set so there is a little something for many times of the year.


First up, we see the sexy BFF Charlene look in Hibiscous dress in a richly floral pattern that I love. The bodice is loosely laced closed for a nice view of cleavage, and the hips are exposed by bold openings for even more sex appeal. I think a C-string (crotch pasties) would come in awfully handy for wearing this out and about :)


The BFF Scoop back minidress in white is a great choice to wear when you want to look pulled together and classy, yet flirty. The high neckline in the front adds charm, while the short hem and back opening are tantalizing details.


Next I indulged the bird lover in me by changing into the BFF Bonnie Summer Baby doll Hummingbird group gift. I absolutely adore the print of colorful feathered friends, and the strapless style is great for the warmer weather that is on its way. I'd also happily layer mid-length shorts or capris beneath this for cooler times, just to get to wear it for multiple seasons :)


Two of the group gifts are different versions of the same style dress, so I put them both in this look for you :) The left is called BFF Aleta dress in damask red, and on the right we see the BFF Aleta dress in green lace. I simply could not choose between them, either the bold red with pretty white damask pattern or the soft minty green with subtle lace embossing. Dress them up or down with your choices of footwear and accessories to make either look your own. 


My final look tonight is the BFF Ariana look Sequined party dress Orange gift, and it is a dazzler! The deep color has a burnt reddish orange that is very flattering, with a nice texture that made me think "disco" for some reason :) The front and back are held in place by long straps on each side, showing off lots of skin without displaying anything inappropriate. This is one of those styles that will absolutely turn heads, don't you think?

My visit to the hand specialist turned into a bit of an adventure. I was expecting him to maybe tape the finger, suggest exercises at home or physical therapy...nope, he said we can either ice it and hope for the best or go with a cortisone shot. After 6-7 weeks of pain, waiting did not feel prudent so I opted for the cortisone 😳. The last time I had an injection of it was 20ish years ago, broken foot, and it was painful for a few minutes then fine. This hand one though, I'm afraid it is not so simple. Typing is miserable and I almost didn't blog tonight, but now my plan is to take tomorrow off from blogging (I am supposed to rest my hand) unless it makes a miraculous recovery. I was unprepared for things to work out this way but resting it might make it better for Wednesday or Thursday in the long run. Meanwhile I am icing it with cute little round ice packs, hehe, and admiring the growing bruise. If there is still pain in about a month I will need an MRI to see what is going on in there with the tendons. Other people have fun stories like they hurt themselves skydiving or snowboarding, then there's me with my injury in my sleep. The doctor isn't even sure what is wrong, something about a rare condition saddle-something (?) without fitting all the criteria so maybe not. Sadly this is not the first time I've ever baffled a physician, nor will it be the last I'm sure. I hope you're all having a pleasant day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
