Sexy Weekend Looks

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I thought about how with warmer weather ahead, lots of people are looking to shed extra layers of clothing and wear much less fabric so they can soak up the sun. That led to thinking about fashions with lots of sex appeal, either lingerie or swimwear which sometimes can be interchangeable in SL. So I visited Havoc, where I knew I'd find flirty gifts for their free store group. They were part of the Easter hunt I blogged a few weeks ago, a collaborative effort with Off-Line and Fake Society, and I made a mental note to share these gifts soon :) As an extra special opportunity, I also want to show you two of the Entice offers for the Saturday Sale this week which are available until next Thursday. They are bikinis with wonderful color choices and an irresistible style, as you will see. 


My first look is the Havoc. Aliza Set. Fatpack group gift, with a cropped top and thong that both have little zippers for even more of a playful nature. Each piece comes in eBody, Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh body sizes, and there is a HUD for each with 18 solid colors and 6 choices that have the flaming letters seen on the left above. I think it says Thrasher, although that zipper does interrupt it and the front of the thong is rather narrow ;) It is even more slender in the back, so you only get the front view until you try it on for yourself. 


Another group gift you'll want to be sure to claim is the Havoc. Nina Bodysuit. Fatpack. The lovely Nina has a solid back bodice above a thong cut, while the front is seductively tied in three places to cover the essentials and hold things in place. We receive Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn body sizes, with a HUD that offers 15 leather textures and 15 cotton. This way we can choose a shiny look like on the left above, or a softer knit look as I selected on the right. I would absolutely wear this as a swimsuit too, just adding to the versatility.


Next I tried on the alluring Havoc. Venus Set. Fatpack gift, a reminder that Venus was the goddess of love and beauty (and sex). The top and thong are each included in sizing for Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn bodies, with a 15-color HUD for each piece. This way we can mix or match, it all just depends on your mood and personal tastes. The tied crop top has fun holes punched all along the neckline, and the bottoms are definitely a G-string type of thong for maximum sex appeal.


Havoc. Trixie Lingerie - Group Gift is sure to get your weekend off to a spicy start! It is a top and thong pairing that each fit Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh bodies, with HUDs for each with 17 colors plus 6 valentine leather bonus textures. I picked one of those on the left above, and one of the original hues on the right for both pieces. I guess I was feeling matchy with this instead of mixy ;) The slender ties captured my attention, as all of the fine details do with these gifts.


For my final look of the evening, we visit Entice where they live up to their name with the enticing I Like It bikinis they are offering as their discounted selections this round of the Saturday Sale from now until the 4th of May. There are a whopping 14 new choices, such as the Aqua Stripes I'm wearing on the left above and the Sunset you see to the right. These and the other dozen new varieties are just $75L apiece, and include the top and bottom (separate pieces) each in Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Petite mesh body sizes. The fluttery lace-edged top is tied with delicate strands in the back, just like our string bikini bottoms, and I am a huge fan of this style. As for the original released versions, there are 32 individuals as well as 4 fatpacks (Darks, Lights, Ombres, Stripes) each with 10 versions that include 2 fatpack exclusives, and a MEGA fatpack with all 4 fatpack options via HUD. All of these prior releases are 50% off for the duration of the sale, which makes this a wonderful opportunity to prepare for a fresh new bikini season in SL. 

It was a quiet and rainy day here, with that wet weather continuing into tomorrow which will eventually become thunderstorms by Sunday I think. I'm more concerned about winds because that is what usually knocks out the power around here rather than lightning. It has been a busy hockey evening, with two teams moving onto the next round of the playoffs and just one game still going that could decide that series winner. I didn't get enough sleep so I'm eager to rest this weekend, not the most exciting plans but I am an old lady even if young at heart ;) I hope you all have a fantastic weekend ahead, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

SL Frees & Offers

 Hiya everyone! Tonight's post features several gifts for the SL Frees & Offers group, which is free to join and very informative. The participating designers tell us about what's going on at their stores, so this type of multi-designer group is a hub of info without needing to be a part of a hundred separate store groups :) In addition of course, the designers can offer a free gift for the SLFO members if they choose, so I found a handful of those to share here tonight. I have plans like this for a few other similar groups in the very near future too, so if you like these mini tours of SL fashion brands, please check back soon.


My first look comes from Tori's Stylez and is called TS-Bridgette-GG. We receive the lovely corset top and partly unzipped leggings each in Freya, Isis, Hourglass, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh body sizes. There are versions with and without the lace for the tops, and the lace-free ones are slightly revealing since the lace covers the tops of the areolae. Just a few pixels of rosy skin, nothing scandalous, but I stuck with the pretty lace on both sides of the above photo :) There is also a HUD with 6 choices for our tops, so we can change the appearance to suit any mood. I was tickled by the reminder that in the late 80s or early 90s, I had a pair of leggings very much like these except not zippered in the front, just solid black pull-on pants with black lace panels down each leg. I wore mine with long shirts over it so you couldn't see the panties peeking through the top of the lace sides ;) Long tunic tops were the fashion back then anyway, and fashion is eternally cyclical.


V8 Underground is always a pleasure to visit, as their offerings including gifts tend to be fully loaded outfits to dress ourselves from head to toe. Their SLFO gift is called **BROKE THSMI BLUE ALOHA STYLE COMPLET OUTFIT** and I feel like I need to take a deep breath before reeling off the contents :) The bra, panties, sarong, and sandals each fit Freya, Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh bodies. As for accessories, we have the leg tattoo in system layer and Omega applier, then we can add the sunglasses, hibiscus hairpiece, left and right bracelets, necklace, waist accessory, and anklet, which all have resizer scripts built in to adjust them as needed. I always appreciate how versatile these are, for example if you are wearing this indoors or at night just leave off the sunglasses, or if the flowers don't work with your hair (or you just aren't fond of flowers) you can omit that and still have a very full look. Not into tattoos? It isn't a necessity so just leave it in the folder if you prefer. We really get to personalize this by choosing just the parts we want.


Next I slipped into the Carola*Neus 1121 gift for SLFO, and found myself wanting to watch Austin Powers ;) The playful pattern on the dress probably did that, and I enjoy the attached belt and the smile-shaped bust cutout. We receive the dress in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Kupra Bimbo, Low, Original, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies. The high heels will fit Belleza, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Slink mid feet, and we get a dress HUD with 10 colors plus a shoe HUD with 15 options. Plenty of variety in this wonderful gift, isn't there?


I also visited Eliya.K and picked up their lovely Gul Dress - STEEL ( Plain ) gift for SLFO. There are Freya, Isis, and Maitreya mesh body sizes included, as well as a HUD with 12 color choices for the sheer skirt addition as well as the option to hide it by clicking the eye 👁 on the HUD. I enjoy the soft net look of the skirt layer, but of course it looks just as pretty without as it turns into a more casual style in my opinion.


For my final look of the night, I visited TRS Designs at their new home and claimed the lovely Jemma Romper Berry gift. It is a breezy look for the warmer weather that is here or on its way soon, and that deep V shows off just enough cleavage to be flirty without overdoing it for G-rated regions. There are lots of sizes included too - Altamura, eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Hourglass, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Tonic Curvy, Tonic Fine, and Tonic Minim mesh bodies. A handy tip is that if berry just isn't your color, take a look at the other gifts TRS Designs has for other groups because there are several variations of this outfit on that gift wall :) You may already be a member of the other groups, and can easily change tags to pick up a gift in a hue you prefer.

It was a quiet day and a hockey-filled evening, with just one game still going but most likely going to end with the first elimination in this entire first round of playoffs. I'm still frustrated about the dentist issue I talked about last night, but trying to focus on other things until the next appointment. We are having bad storms tomorrow so I'm not going to my parents' for dinner like I usually do on Fridays, but we've been chatting via text and everything is fine otherwise. For the farmers market Saturday it's showing showers rather than rain, so perhaps lighter or intermittent? I need things there and will go if at all possible. I hope you're all having a beautiful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

La Feminique Treats

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I am back with some wonderful group gifts, all found at the lovely La Feminique store. There are two curved staircases by the back wall, and behind them on the right side of that back wall is where to find the goodies :) There are gifts for the store's group which is currently free to join, as well as several multi-designer groups that are either free to join or have a small fee to keep out spammers and scammers. Most of what I'm sharing tonight are for the La Feminique store group, with one for the Paparazzi group because I really wanted to earworm you with a Lady Gaga song ;) Kidding, it simply a random choice from the groups there that I was already a member of and just felt drawn to the outfit. As someone who has multiple songs stuck in my head at any given time, earworms are a part of life so I do apologize if the song gets stuck on you now and you dislike it. I am confident that you'll find fashions here to make up for it though! While you have their group tag active be sure to look on the wall to the right of the group gifts and check out the lucky boards and midnight manias too.


First up, we have the La Feminique - Rachel GG top and shorts set for the La Feminique group. Both pieces are provided in Freya, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Slink Hourglass, and Slink Hourglass Petite mesh body sizes. The blouse is opened for a great view of cleavage all the way down to the waist where it is tied loosely, and I really like the floral print! The solid color of the cuffed shorts are a terrific match for the brightest of the flowers, and the 4 pocket styling of the shorts made me smile.


Next I changed into the charming La Feminique - Rose Group Gift, a tank dress in earth tones with a wonderful pattern of roses and greenery. There are sizes for eBody Reborn, Freya, Isis, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Petite, Slink Hourglass, and Hourglass Petite mesh bodies included. Did you notice the loose bows on each hip? The sides are gathered and tied with a russet brown ribbon that looks great with the colors of the fabric.


Another don't-miss dress is our La Feminique - Iris Group Gift for the store group. This romantic bare shouldered maxi dress has a built in belt and gently pleated tiers on its skirt. We receive Freya, Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh body sizes when we claim this thoughtful gift. You probably already know that I'm a fan of florals so this absolutely caught my eye :)


The La Feminique - Erica Group Gift shows that casual fashions can be dazzling too :) This outfit includes the top, jacket, and jeans all to fit eBody Reborn, Freya, Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Petite mesh bodies. The jeans and jacket are cropped, and the jacket's collar is the same pretty patterned fabric as the flirty top. If you're like me, you probably have several pairs of black shoes in your inventory to choose from that you can wear with this set for an easy look any time of year.


My final look this evening is the group gift for the Paparazzi group (free to join) called La Feminique - Wild Group Gift. It is a playful romper with solid black top and belt, complementing the zebra patterned shorts half perfectly. The deep V neckline could show off a necklace you're fond of from your wardrobe, and the short sleeves make me think spring and summer (right on into autumn perhaps) for this versatile one-piece. There are eBody Reborn, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite mesh body sizes provided. 

Whew, I made the right decision in planning not to blog last night after the dental visit. Things did not go very well, as my anxiety flared and I had a minor panic attack on the way there (10 minute car ride) and my usual dentist had an emergency so one I'd only seen once before but disliked was the one on call. After what felt like dozens of x-rays that were due to be taken, he turned on the nitrous, asked immediately if I felt it yet and was fine, then when I said not yet (meaning give me a few breaths!) he cranked it up considerably. The next thing I remember is the hygienist telling me she switched me to oxygen and we needed to go up front to discuss the 'treatment plan' when I was ready. That means a filling is needed usually, so imagine my surprise when I got up there and was told 2 crowns and 2 fillings for nearly 4 grand. *shocked pikachu face* I have 2 appointments, one for the temp crowns and the other for the permanent crown insertion when the fillings will also be done. I did some counting later when the nitrous fog was somewhat lifted, and the 2 crowns are on teeth that currently have crowns so I am definitely confused. He must have explained something (x-rays showed something wrong?) while I was out of it, which my regular doc would never do without ensuring that I understood. I don't even remember this guy examining me, not that I doubt he did but just pointing out the level of sedation I was feeling. The car ride home was fun, LOL, another stronger panic attack mixed with traffic and a back way home that took a half hour. There is no way I'd have been capable of blogging. Deep breaths...I am somewhat better today but still anxious, and the almost 2 weeks until the next appointment will be anxiety ridden I'm sure. That's simply how my brain works when it knows something is coming up. I hope you're all having a pleasant day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Gifts for FabFree

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I was craving some variety, so I visited several of the FabFree in SL participating designers and picked up some wonderful group gifts. FabFree is always free to join, and they have a list of group gifts on the FabFree blog for you to peruse and pick up whichever ones speak to you. I've been a fan for many years, and tend to look through the older ones so if they update to a new gift very soon I will not have missed out :) There are new gifts posted all the time, at least a few a week I'd say, and they are all just so generous and of impressive quality. Your favorite designers may already be participating, so check their store for the rainbow streaked FabFree logo/sign. Plus you might be introduced to new favorites by investigating their blog :)


The FabFree gift from FurtaCor is my first look of the evening, named Ariane Set. Its dress fits eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies, with strappy sandals in Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink high feet sizing. There is also a HUD provided with 25 textures each for the main dress and the sleeves with a button to turn the sleeves off/on, and 12 solid colors for our sandals. The long maxi dress has a wonderful Boho feeling, and it's great to have coordinating footwear with any look. To find this gift, please look along the shelf with black gift bags and you'll see one has the FabFree logo so that's the one you need to click with this tag active. The others are for various groups that you may already be a member of, so it's worth checking those too.


My next stop was MadCatCreations where I happily claimed their MCC - woman - A flavorful Dress -single gift. I see lots of seasonings on the fabric pattern like cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger just to name a few, which certainly explains the playful name :) We receive sizes for Altamura Sofia, eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Venus, Kupra Bimbo, Low, Original, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Signature Alice, Star, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh bodies which is quite a generous range. The green straps crisscrossing the sides and neckline really bring out the coloring of some of the herbal seasonings, not a description I'd expect to use for fashion but I am loving it!


Paper.Sparrow has a treat for FabFree members too, their lovely Red Emma Top. This cropped corset bra style top has slender spaghetti straps and is trimmed in delicate lace, just loaded with lush details. It fits Freya, Isis, Hourglass, Legacy, and Maitreya bodies, with a HUD that offers 9 metals. I may have been having a glitch (SL, it happens all the time) but the HUD didn't seem to change anything for me so I cannot verify where the metal in question is. Honestly I love the gift even if the HUD doesn't do anything :) I paired it with the white Delizio jeans from their marketplace fatpack freebie, which appears here fairly often thanks to its versatility.


If the prior gift made you long for even more vibrant colors, head on over to Saussi and claim their ::GC:: Pamela Dress (Floral 1) gift for FabFree. The GC seems to reference Glam Couture based on the unpacker HUD logo, so I'm guessing they did a rebrand at some point recently. This dress is a beautiful formfitting mini with multicolored leaves and ferns, a brilliant nod to nature at its finest. The gift includes Freya, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Reborn, and Reborn Juicy mesh bodies. 


My final look this evening is the charming [PTC] Amira Dress - Rose Flower from Pearl's Treasure Chest. I left clicked and chose deliver but it didn't work, so I right clicked and paid $1L which was immediately refunded while the gift was delivered, so that might be the correct way to claim this cutie. The soft pink top looks terrific with the floral patterned handkerchief skirt, and the cutouts on each side of the waist bring it from dainty to flirty :) The gift contains eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Ocacin, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh body sizes. 

Mondays are generally nothing exciting here, and today was no exception, so I'm focused on an evening full of hockey (just one game left going) and a dentist visit tomorrow afternoon. As usual, I will be getting nitrous which leaves me drowsy and a little spaced out, so I take that evening off from blogging so you don't have to try to interpret nitrous-brain babbling ;) I feel like I wouldn't get all the details (sizes, landmarks, store names...) accurate if I tried it. Don't worry, I don't drive so nobody is driving home while impaired, and my housemate is kind enough to take me there and pick me up after. I hope you're all having a lovely day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Off-Line Group Gifts

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we are visiting the lovely "Off-Line" store, and if that name sounds familiar it could be from their delightfully tricky Easter egg hunt earlier in the month which was a collaboration with Fake Society and Havoc. For the gifts I'm about to share though, there is no hunting necessary as these are all on the group gifts wall to the right of the front desk. They will be changing their group gifts monthly for the free store group (there is a separate paid VIP group with even more!) so these should be available for almost a week from now. Then next month you can bet I'll be going back to see what fantastic treats they offer for May!


My first look is the "Off-Line" x "Jara" Dress / Fatpack gift, with unpacker HUDs inside for each size: Freya, Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh bodies. Inside those we will find baltic, black, cedar, cocoa bean, cocoa brown, cowboy, gondola, grey, martinique, revolver, thunder, and walnut colors for a total of 12 beauties :) I randomly chose revolver to wear on the left above, and gondola on the right. The intriguing names made it a bit of a surprise trying each one on to see what hue would appear, and I am very pleased with the selection! The style of the dress starts as a cap sleeved t-shirt dress, but that wide slit on our right thigh makes it particuarly eye-catching.


The "Off-Line" x Havoc / "Sporty" Set/Fatpack group gift lives up to its name but also brings strong sexy vibes thanks to the sheer fabric. There are Freya, Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh body size unpacker HUDs, each of which contain 10 colors apiece for top and bottoms. I wore the white top and olive shorts on the left, with purple and pink paired to the right. We also get black, blue, nude, orange, pumpkin, and red colors for each piece. The tops have flirty side slits, and the shorts have built in panties and a black belt to match the black waistband, so lots of terrific details in this outfit.


Next we have a playful jumpsuit gift called "Off-Line" x "Olivia" Bodysuit / Fatpack. This comes in the same set of sizes as the other gifts (Freya, Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya) and each size's unpacker HUD includes 14 delightful versions. I'm wearing black camo on the left, and cyan on the right, and you will notice that one has words down the sleeves and the other does not...one sleeve says Off-Line and the other says Do Not Copy. The other versions include black, charcoal, cow, green, grey, grey camo, lime, mauve, orange, pink, purple, and yellow. I love the way the sides are cut so high, yet the sleeves are extra long, and that partly unzipped front zipper is hot!


At first glance, "Off-Line" x Fake Society / Doja Set / Fatpack appears to be a top and skirt set, when it is really all linked together to wear as one easy piece in their usual Freya, Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh body sizes. For each size there is a HUD that holds bb blue, black, brown, cobalt, green, pink, purple, red, white, and yellow versions. I am wearing red and cobalt for the photo, but they are all lovely with the sheer puffy sleeves and dramatic cutouts. 


For my final look of the evening, I had some fun with the "Off-Line" x Havoc / "Tatiana" Set / Fatpack group gift. There are sizes for Freya, Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, and Maitreya bodies, each packaged separately with top and pants each in 8 colors. The tops are solid with "aliens" on the front beneath a letter A, and the same logo appears on the right leg of the pants. The left leg has three color panels, white and two other coordinating choices. On the left I tried on the orange pants and saw that bright pale green and thought hmm, will the lime top work? And yes, yes it did :) So that's the pairing on the left, but I went with both the purple top and purple pants on the right. Other choices are black, blue, navy, pink, and white. 

Quick hair note of the night: Truth hair released two styles for the Saturday sale this weekend, if I recall they are both collaborations and are discounted temporarily. I got the essentials pack for $300L (usually 500) and the individual color packs are $100L, which is super affordable for their high quality styles in my opinion. I'm wearing the Amour, as it is a fun updo that won't hide my clothing I am trying to show all of you ;) The other style was a long one, very beautiful too. Hurry if you are interested since it is a limited time sale.

Weekends go so quickly sometimes, don't they? It was a good one though, and I am watching more hockey as I type this because there is a playoff game on the west coast in overtime. Oops never mind, LOL, a goal just ended that game and tied their series. I hope you're all having a beautiful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Bunny Kisses

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we are getting cheeky again, this time thanks to the Bunny Kisses & Easter Wishes 3 Hunt by Cheeky Monkey Hunts. We are looking for small gold egg images (flat prim, not round 3D) containing either $1L, $25L, or $50L prizes, with the $25L and $50L selections being exclusives for this hunt. Unlike yesterday's post, these are at the designers' main stores rather than a centralized region, so I do suggest having the hunt website open to guide you with those landmarks as well as hints and preview images so you know which ones you want to claim :) I love the idea of spring and Easter themes being so similar, so the majority of these treats are very suitable for this post-Easter but still early spring time of year. 


Did you hear my "squee" from wherever you may be? It's all because of the adorable WATER BUNNY Tee prize from The Bold Llama T-Shirt Co., which is their $50L prize. They do have a $25L prize and a $1L prize hidden also, but this exclusive has a precious lop bunny image with a lavender tint to his/her ears and just the sweetest little face ♥. Our tees from The Bold Llama have 5 standard mesh sizes included along with eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Ocacin, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh body sizes. 


Next I changed into their $1L prize, the HIP HOP BUNNY Tee :) It did make me think of their region hunt prize I shared yesterday with the Rapper's Delight lyrics on it, so it made my heart smile once again. This dapper bunny is wearing classic shades (wayfarers?) and has a cheery grin, doesn't he? If this is your jam, you just have to find the egg that matches the hint on the website for this prize and you'll receive those same plentiful sizes I mentioned in the first photo description. 


Over at [Ari-Pari], the golden egg contains a beautiful $1L prize called Yellow Daisy Dress. This sundress has spaghetti straps and a fluttery skirt, with a top that is adorned with a 3D daisy as well as being patterned with beautiful white daisies that have cheerful yellow centers. There are eBody Reborn, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh body sizes provided, and a HUD with 6 colors each for the top and skirt sections so we can mix and match them. I am ready for the sunny spring weekend ahead with this wonderful prize :)


The Harambee-Gwassi charity store has a striking $25L exclusive prize waiting for us called Dark chocolate Minidress & thong. I love the way the chocolate hue is a nod to Easter but can easily be worn any time of year. The dress has a bare shoulder to contrast the long bell sleeve on the left, and both the sleeve and the waist have a sheer band with intricate embroidery. The dress comes in sizes for Altamura, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh bodies, with a thong in all of those sizes except the 2 Tonics. Our look is fun, fancy, and flirty all at once!


My final look of the evening is a great find for a cozy weekend. It is the (TSB) Bunny Kisses and Easter Wishes 3 Hunt prize from The Sissy Bar, and it's just $1L when you find their egg. It is a single mesh piece as the top and pants are linked together, and there are 5 standard mesh sizes plus versions for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique bodies. I never knew how much I needed an owl wearing a flower crown in my life until I saw this outfit, LOL, but now I am an extra happy bird lady. 

I am definitely ready for the weekend, first for the farmers market visit and then for *fingers crossed* some relaxation :) It's supposed to be cloudy tomorrow but I will still wear sunscreen, important for anyone but particularly us extra fair skinned folks. Sunburn is no fun any time of year, and I have too much to do next week to be sore or peeling. I hope you're all having a lovely day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Cheeky L'il Rabbit Hunt

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we explore the CMH 'Cheeky L'il Rabbit!' Region Hunt, which is a fun chance to find $1L prizes and $10L exclusive prizes hiding inside adorable green monkey plushies. The Cheeky Monkey Hunts website has the hints and preview images, so get ready to search all over the shopping areas and even a pretty beach with fishing gear :) The prizes are plentiful and very affordable, so we get to save money and treat ourselves to quality offerings. I am very fond of the Cheeky Monkey designers, so this is always quite a pleasure for me to share with all of you.


My first look of the evening is a playful tattoo from NewtiQue called Easter Bunnies Face Tattoo EvoX. These really do match the "cheeky" and "rabbit" parts of the hunt name, don't they? :) We receive a BOM layer with all 3 bunnies, one on the right cheek and two on the left cheek, and while the pair is holding eggs I still think this could work for any time of year. The great thing about BOM is that you can add lots of layers (right click - add, not wear) so if you want to add lipstick, eye shadow, liner, blush, eyebrows, really any makeup that tickles your fancy, these can still be worn easily. 


You may have caught a glimpse of the pastel hued straps in the first photo and wondered what I'm wearing there, well have no fear as I am eager to share that info too. This lovely top is the .:Adore:. Perla Tied Top Easter Lilac exclusive for just $10L from Adore Amore, and I am a huge fan of the style and the colors. There are eBody Reborn, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite mesh body sizes included for this cropped top that is delicately tied in the front above a fun opening. The eggs and floral patterns are great for spring, and after seeing someone wearing a Christmas dress (red, decorated green tree on the front) the other day in mid-April I know I'm not the only one who doesn't always base my wardrobe strictly on the calendar. 


The Bold Llama T-Shirt Co. has two prizes hiding for us, the $10L exclusive of which is the HIPPITY HOP Tee. Talk about shirts you can hear! When I tell you I sat here singing this shirt, LOL, I mean I was a child when Rapper's Delight came out but knew it was groundbreaking :) This has a seasonal twist mentioning the bunny hop, which I greatly enjoyed seeing. All of this brand's comfy looking tank tops come in 5 standard mesh sizes as well as eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Ocacin, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh body sizes, and please take note of that because I'm about to show you their other prize...


Find the $1L prize from The Bold Llama T-Shirt Co. and you too can be the proud owner of the precious BUNNY KISSES Tee. I am an odd mix of sardonic, quirky sense of humor contrasted by getting very mushy over cute animals, so this one spoke to the mushy side. My best friend has a rescue rabbit so bunnies are immediately a soft spot for me, and the silhouette of these two smooching is just adorable. A few years back, my friend's husband's boss knew that she was a cat lady and had hamsters/guinea pigs in the past too, so when his kid turned out to be allergic to their new rabbit, they asked her to take care of it until a new home could be found. Obviously that did not happen, LOL, and she is still delighted to have the bunny's companionship. You can probably guess that I am wearing a pair of Delizio jeans here from their marketplace freebie fatpack, since I do so rather often here when bottoms are needed to show tops off.


One of the things that makes Entice so appealing is that there are two creative designers behind the brand name, both of whom are having a very busy RL month. That means there are no new releases for the sales events, so their bloggers have been told to select something from the store to blog this month. As challenging as that is since I love their style so much (instant kid in candy store moment), I did find myself drawn to their Ruby Tuesday outfit for this time of year. The top and skirt are sized to fit Freya, Hourglass, Legacy, Maitreya, and Petite mesh bodies, and both have lush ruffles to really draw the eye. Their Mega Fatpack is $1499L, which has 40 impressive choices for 4 sections each of the top and skirt via HUD as well as on/off for the built in panties. The Mega fatpack is a combo of 4 regular fatpacks for $599L apiece, 10 textures which includes 2 fatpack exclusives. Individual outfits are available with just a single color so no HUDs, and these are $300L each. There is a little something for any taste and any budget, and I recall them doing a few exclusive Saturday Sale versions last year that really endeared me to this particular style. It is classic, retro, sexy, yet modern all at once :)

Wow, it's almost the weekend! This week feels like it's going pretty fast, which is odd since I didn't have any appointments or anything that make things extra busy. I have a dentist visit next week, so that will make things even weirder thanks to the nitrous. I hope you're all having a wonderful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Cosmo Part Two

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I'm pleased to show you some more of the round two anniversary gifts from Cosmopolitan, all available until the 29th for their group which is free to join. Just look for the little wooden crates at each display, while you browse the many exclusive and discounted offers for sale. I am so happy for Cosmo's 11 wonderful years, and wish them many more successful rounds in the future.


My first look of the evening is the gift from Saussi called ::SS:: Dress Dri (Black). It has a playful bow and ruffled hemline, with a black blouse layered beneath the body-skimming main dress. There are sizes for Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh bodies included, with a HUD to allow us to choose from 9 plaid textures each for the bow and ruffle. The ruffle choice appears on the rounded trim on the neck beneath the bow, which is why you see both red and blue on the left above :) There are also 3 colors for the built in panties, plus a button to turn them off and on so you can hide them if you wish. 


Next I changed into the [FLIRT] Chimera romper-Cosmopolitan gift, which I'm noticing is a bit more revealing up top than I realized while taking these pictures ;) We receive Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Maitreya Push-up, Nerido Push-up, Reborn, and Reborn Juicy mesh body versions of this sandy tan short romper with very pretty embroidery at the waist. It has a very flattering fit, with deep V both front and back. 


VARSITY is offering this charming AGNE DRESS - FATPACK as their group gift for Cosmo's anniversary. It has a high neck, fluttery elbow length sleeves, and short hemline so it can be worn for a wide range of climates and times of year. There are sizes for eBody Reborn, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, and Maitreya mesh bodies included, along with an 8 color HUD for us to select the shade that suits our mood. Apparently my mood is bold and colorful at the moment :)


I am fearfully and wonderfully made, according to the text on the tattoo from this next gift. It is the Brendha Top+TaTToo - Green Set by [CAROL G]. Our top is a lovely forest green with intriguing neckline that shows much of the tattoo, in sizes for Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn bodies. The tattoo is in system/BOM layers, in your choice of dark (shown), medium, or light. The combo is absolutely wonderfully made in my opinion! The good little Catholic schoolgirl in me recognizes that as a bible quote without recalling specifics, but I find it very moving to ponder without any context needed. My jeans are the black pair from my favorite Marketplace freebie, the Delizio jeans fatpack that consists of several denim colors in system/BOM layers plus appliers for Maitreya/Omega.


My final look starts with a sexy gift from ELEVEN, their Kora Dress [14]. It has spaghetti straps with one side dangling beneath the arm, and a thong panty built in that you can see clearly through the wide slit back. It comes in Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh body sizes, all with that delicate floral pattern that really pops against the black background. Then I added another gift, the KUNGLERS - Biba set Rose jewelry. The necklace and earrings have pale pink tulip buds on intricate silver, and those earrings are remarkable the way they extend along the outer edge of the ears! If you need to resize them, just click the piece of jewelry you wish to adjust and a handy resize menu will open. 

It was a quiet day and a hockey-filled evening, as I've been watching the playoffs this week despite my team not being a part of them. I've seen amazing goals, wild fights, and an injury last night that took 75 stitches to repair (accidental skate blade to the face), so it is a whirlwind as usual. I hope you're all having a pleasant day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
