Sexy Fashionable and Gorgeous

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I'd like to show you some wonderful group gifts for the Sexy, Fashionable, Gorgeous Me! group, which is free to join. In a fun coincidence, I was able to find all of tonight's gifts on the same region/sim, LeLa Island, in several neighboring stores :) I was already familiar with each designer, so I knew to expect the high quality and generosity I found in each spot. The group's tag is a fun one too, which reads "I'm so freaking SEXY!"

First stop is DM Design where we can claim (among many other groups' gifts) their Gina Dress Gift. It has a high ruffled collar on the striped blouse portion, and other great details like built in suspenders and double belted waist. There are 5 standard mesh sizes included, as well as sizing for eBody Classic, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh bodies. 

I also claimed the {Le'La} Doneris Dress which is a flirty mini with midriff cutout and slender shoulder straps. We receive standard mesh sizes and Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP mesh body versions, all with a HUD that features 10 different textures. Each print has a solid colored trim that brings out the patterns beautifully :)

The SFGM group gift from *Pink Mango* is the lovely Vanessa GG, a 3/4 sleeve top and ruffle-trimmed skirt that can be worn separately as easily as together. The coloring is flattering for many skin tones and hair colors, and the floral design on the top is beautiful :) Each piece comes in sizes for Freya, Isis, Hourglass, and Maitreya mesh bodies.

Don't forget to visit FAVOR (dare I say to do yourself the favor?) and pick up their SIMMA DRESS GIFT. This charming sweater dress is in a deep shade of red that makes me think of garnets, my RL birthstone, and has a boat neck with one shoulder ever so slightly exposed for a flirty feeling. There are 5 standard mesh sizes as well as eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh body versions included. I think this is going to be a strong go-to choice once autumn arrives!

My final look of the evening is the [>Ma'De<] Moly ~ August 2022 group gift, and I have no idea how often they change it so I can only suggest grabbing it while you still can :) This strapless mini has a wedge opening on its midriff for a peek at the waist for very flattering shaping, and a floral design in warm colors on a grass green backdrop. We receive Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh body sizes in this thoughtful gift, and I'm very happy with all of today's findings.

I almost lost track of what day of the week it is, LOL, which is silly when we consider that I know the weekend is just ending and a fresh new week is upon us. I'm still dealing with a lot of anxiety, and had to cancel the podiatrist visit last week (from not being able to leave the house) which was a mistake because now one of my ingrown nails is painful and maybe infected. Ugh. We shall see what happens, as I take another baby step tomorrow and try to leave the house again. In SL news, I am trying to find out more info about the imminent Maitreya body update called X, details like if it is an actual update or entirely new body to purchase and if it will fit the existing Maitreya Lara fashions that fill my inventory. When I know more, I promise to share :) I hope you're all having a terrific day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Slept On Sales Weekend

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we have a limited time opportunity to help Slept On Sales celebrate their birthday round. They are part of Binge Events, so if you join the Binge Events group you can claim a free gift at the participating stores along with shopping the usual $55L - $99L sales offerings. The thing is, it is just a weekend event so the discounts and gifts are only available until Sunday evening. There are just so many amazing designers taking part, and who can resist free gifts? :) I have to say, I spy a lot of pink among these offers/gifts, so I can tell the current box office smash movie is influencing SL fashion and I am here for it ♥. 

I start the evening with one of the sales offers, that of The Bold Llama T-Shirt Co. called JAZZ HANDS Tees. There is a trio of images we can choose via HUD, all on a comfy tank top in 5 standard sizes plus eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Ocacin, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh body sizing. The one on the left above says "My brain has too many tabs open", and I can assure you I feel that way most of the time. On the right it reads "There will be DRAMA, and singing and dancing and music and jazz hands..." which also sounds quite familiar. The image not shown says I eat crayons, with the letters of "crayons" in different colors so we must have written it before polishing off our latest waxy snack. I wonder if anyone has ever made edible crayons because of all the jokes about eating them? This sales item is just $80L if you hurry and get there this weekend :)

The Bold Llama T-Shirt Co. also has a free group gift for us of course, their sweet SMILEY FACE Tee. As someone who picked up the habit of signing my name on cards, notes, etc. with a smiley face after my name and never quite lost said habit, I strongly approve of this message :) It comes in the same sizes as the first photo's shirts, and says Be Happy beneath the cheerful sketch. I'm wearing the white pair of Delizio jeans from their marketplace fatpack gift in both of these photos, as I tend to do fairly often here.

Our next stop is Enigma Apparel, where that Binge Events group tag (I'm Binge Worthy!) allows us to claim their [EN] Irene Set - Pink gift. The top, sleeves, and shorts are each designed for Legacy/Perky, Maitreya/Petite, and Reborn/Juicy mesh bodies, and can be worn independently for a variety of looks. The top looks great with or without the poofy sleeves, and I really like the matching floral fabric belt on the shorts. 

Our lovely May24 - Mina Dress - SOS Anniversary Gift has a special detail as a nod to the sale it is honoring. Its included HUD has 14 texture choices, 13 of which are solids and the one on the left above is the three colors that are on the Slept On Sales logo. Isn't that clever? The flirty halter dress comes in sizes for Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh bodies. 

My final look this evening comes from a store that is new to me, GigglePuppy. Love the name, and their *GP* Bright Cheetah Romper gift :) This vibrantly hued outfit has one shoulder playfully exposed, and a built in sash belt tied with a pretty bow. There are Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh body sizes included in this fantastic gift. I wish I had time to show you even more gifts but they are so time-sensitive that my main goal was to select a few and bring your attention to the sale/gifts if you hadn't already heard about it.

Whew, I am telling myself that at least tonight has bad news and good news...the bad news is the stifling heat that even my ceiling fan doesn't seem to be helping with, but the good news is that the thunderstorms seem to have passed by for now. They were scary there for a few hours, but it looks like I have about 8 hours until they return so I'm enjoying every quiet moment I can :) I'm having trouble sleeping again lately so I fully intend to get as much rest as I can this weekend, and that is pretty much the extent of my plans other than household stuff and sorting SL inventory. I also have a random urge to go hair shopping, probably from frustration with my RL hair, so at least the weekends usually bring nice sales for hair too. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend ahead, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

La Feminique

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we are wishing the La Feminique designer, Jenny, a very happy birthday and thanking her for organizing an in-store hunt as celebration. You'll need the store's group tag to claim the 5 free prizes, but the group is temporarily free to join (regularly $50L) for the weeklong hunt timeframe. It ends on August 3rd, so you will want to get there as quickly as you can and find the little mushrooms that hold our treats. There is a sample in front of each hunt sign, a trio of tall slender shrooms with red caps, and they are all on the main floor of the store as I did also check upstairs initially too. In addition to the hunt prizes, there are several group gifts and some lucky boards (facing the spiral staircases, turn right and walk until you reach a wall, which is the one that holds those boards) for the group members to enjoy. I had a very lovely visit, and am grateful to the designer for sharing her hard work with us.

My first look combines two hunt prizes, so let's start with the gorgeous La Feminique Lori Hunt Gift. This dress has a separate attachment called straps and they are kind of a halter-bra deal, where the dress has just the single shoulder straps built in and everything else you see above is from the straps addition. Each will fit eBody Reborn, Freya, Kupra, Kupra Bimbo, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, and Slink Hourglass Petite mesh bodies. The fabulous footwear is our La Feminique Taylor Hunt Gift, sandals in a similar gray as the background of the dress that are for mid-height feet. We receive sizes for Belleza, eBody Reborn, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Slink feet, perfectly compatible with the set of sizes for the dress. This means they are ideal to wear together, but of course you can mix things up however you prefer :) 

Next I changed into the cutely casual La Feminique Holly Floral HUNT Gift. The sweet patterned tank top and wide legged jeans are each designed for Freya, eBody Reborn, Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy/Perky, and Maitreya/Petite mesh bodies. The jeans have a white belt built in, and perfectly placed rear pockets that I always appreciate seeing. The denim is a great shade, softly faded like your favorite comfy pair of jeans.

I kept those jeans on to show off this next prize, called La Feminique Brit IDGAF Hunt Gift. The dark denim jacket is layered over a similarly cropped pale pink sweatshirt that says "Feeling Kinda IDGAF-ish today" which is short for I Don't Give A...well you get the idea ;) i've had plenty of days like that lately, so I can see myself wanting to wear this a lot! Find this mushroom and you can claim it too, in sizes for Freya, Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh bodies. 

I have shared group gifts from La Feminique before, during another free join period, but I still really wanted you to see one of the newer ones that I hadn't posted yet. This beauty is the La Feminique - Selena May GG, a summery treat with halter neck whoe straps cross in the back then wrap around the waist. There are Freya, Hourglass, Legacy, Perky, and Maitreya sizes included, as well as a HUD with 3 color combos of the citrus slice print seen above. All of their group gifts are equally lovely, I just chose this as one of the newest ones.

For my final look of the evening, I switched gears to the lucky boards I was telling you about. There are 4 of them with a different gift on each, like this charming La Feminique - Brooke Leaves 2 dress. It includes sizes for Freya, Kupra, Legacy, and Slink Hourglass, and you might notice that I didn't mention Maitreya even though that's the body I am wearing tonight. I have a secret - I'm wearing the Legacy size on the Maitreya body here :) It is a fairly close fit, and the picture included in the gift mentioned Maitreya but I double checked the package and did not see it provided. The dress has a gorgeous pattern of multicolored leaves, which I could easily mistake for feathers from a brightly hued parrot. Just wait for your initial to come up and you could win this or one of the other fantastic prizes!

We've got quite a heat wave upon us here, so you can imagine how much I've been staying near fans (small one in my bedroom, ceiling fan above me now) and trying to keep hydrated. The air conditioning system in this house is old and not up to the strain that using it alone would involve, and tomorrow is supposed to be even hotter. My plans are to stay indoors and as cool as possible :) I hope you're all having a cool day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Palomma Plaza Pretties

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I was feeling sentimental and headed over to Palomma Plaza with my group tag (Doves Angel) active to see what generous gifts I could share. There are plenty of choices for male and female avatars from lots of creative designers, and as I've mentioned before this locale is a tribute to The Free Dove and its beloved owner Palomma who passed away in January. There will be a park and sailing area open soon there too, very exciting but for now I am focusing on the fashion :) In addition to clothing you might find accessories, skins, hair, and extras like AOs and just a dash of everything a new avatar would need or an older avatar could use to freshen things up. Most of the gifts include sizes for various popular mesh bodies, and these are high quality freebies that are absolutely worth a visit.

My first look of the evening is one of the 4 gifts from Emerald Couture, their EC Flounce Dress v2 Teal. Such a gorgeous slip dress, it falls to the top of the knee and has a lovely pattern on its fabric. There are 5 fitmesh standard sizes for classic avatars, as well as Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink versions for a few mesh bodies too. So much SL clothing is considerably less modest, making it a fun change of pace to wear this beauty. Please don't take that the wrong way, as I don't mean to be a prude or sound judgy about people's personal tastes, I just truly enjoy variety even among my modesty levels.

I spy a famous red lightning bolt and two different colored eyes (heterochromia) in the artwork of the EC PopArt Dress Star gift ♥. It's safe to say that this is a tribute to Ziggy Stardust, the alter ego of the supremely talented David Bowie, and I'm here for it! This gift consists of 5 standard mesh sizes along with Freya, Gen X Curvy, Legacy, Maitreya, Prima, Reborn, Hourglass, and Physique mesh body sizing. The back is solid black so from behind, people won't even be able to see that you are sporting a nod to a legend on the front of your new dress. I think we should give them a twirl and share it :)

It may be blazing hot outside right now, but autumn will be here before we know it so I'm delighted to be ready with the EC October Outfit Citrus gift from Emerald Couture. The blouse has a few extra sizes because mods/breasts... they are Freya, Isis, Hourglass, Hourglass Petite, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, and a classic S. The skirt fits Freya, Isis, Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Petite, and that classic S makes an appearance there too. I really like the abstract pattern on our cropped blouse, and the skirt's bold pumpkin shade suits the tight style with little slit on the left thigh. 

Please tell me I'm not the only one who sees the dancer emoji 💃 in this gift? :) The EC Bella Outfit Red Gold has a fiery color combo on its ruched dress with high-low hem, which is provided in 5 standard sizes plus eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh body sizes. The gilded heels will fit Belleza, Maitreya, Tonic, and Slink high feet perfectly. Now my avi needs to learn how to salsa, tango, or maybe rumba...

For my final look of the night, we take a peek at the neighboring display which is that of BlondeQueen. Their ::BQ:: Dolly Mini Dress:: White & Red comes in both versions shown above, each in sizing for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies. Then I added the ::BQ:: Marilyn Stiletto Heels:: Red&White which consists of both colors for Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink high feet. While these gifts look wonderful together, we can also pair either with whatever suits our personal tastes, maybe even something else you find at Palomma Plaza. 

Whew, I am having a spicy technology evening, thanks to updates in Photoshop and my Opera browser making things different so I'm adjusting to multiple changes while blogging. There may have been some cussing and complaining involved, lol, and anything I can't change I will just have to get used to eventually. Most of the programs I use regularly on my PC and the android tablet I play random games on have updated in the past few days, just as a weird coincidence, but these are the only 2 that made visible differences that affect how I interact. Oh well, I do hope you're all having a spectacular day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Gifts for Maitreya Shoppers

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we are visiting several participating stores of the Maitreya Shoppers group, which is free to join and a handy source of info on sales and promotions from the designers. There are also free gifts just for being a part of the group and stopping by the stores :) While the name references a single mesh body brand, you will see that not all of the gifts are limited to just that size and can accommodate multiple mesh bodies. I was already wearing the Maitreya body today from last night's post, so it felt like a good choice, and that does still seem to be the most popular supported body at least for free gifts. I always have fun sifting through the group notices of a multi-designer group to see what stores I haven't been to lately, or possibly at all yet.

For my first look of the evening, I decided to shine in the T&C ::: Can You Feel It ::: gift! This gilded mini dress has lots of slender cutouts on the sleeves and hips, with a zipper all the way down the front that is slightly lowered for plenty of cleavage. We receive sizes for Altamura, eBody Classic, eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies. 

I also visited Tastic where I picked up their flirty Cara Dress Group Gift. It is one of several treats for various groups on this wall, as with most of the participating stores, so I do suggest checking for other groups you're in :) Cara here is a revealing halter dress in a deep indigo snakeskin pattern, with black trim and bold openings. The gift contains Freya, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn mesh body sizing, and will look sensational on all of them.

Delicatt Couture is offering this playful Hariellyh Dress Blue Dark as their July 2023 group gift for Maitreya Shoppers, so you should probably hurry before they swap it out for a new month's worth of goodies :) There are sizes for eBody Classic, eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique bodies, along with a standard fitted for classic avatars. The corset bodice has sheer lace sides, and the bows and ruffles add fun feminine touches.

We have plenty of places in SL to visit that are cooler climates, so the DM Design ~ Arancia Outfit Gift might be just what you need for year round casual wear. The top and jeans both fit Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique bodies, with matching trainers for Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink flat feet. There is something so charming about distressed jeans that have been well worn and loved, and the one bare shoulder exposed by the top is a flirty bonus. 

I'm wrapping up the evening in another laid-back look that can be ours for free with the Maitreya Shoppers group tag. It's the MONOMANIA - Striker gift, a hooded shorts jumpsuit in black with a red cropped tank top built in to peek through the unzipped front. It fits Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies, and our intriguing sneakers are for Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink flat feet. The hot pink on the back of the sneakers is an eye-catching detail, and the red tags match the top very nicely. This is the type of casual outfit I love for running around the grid finding hunt prizes, checking lucky boards, slapping midnight manias...or just exploring someplace with Xan on any random evening. It looks cozy, doesn't it?

I have several things to do as soon as I finish this blog post, so I'm trying to remember all of them while I wrap things up :) Mostly simple household type things, nothing very interesting but just day to day adulting. I hope you're all having a beautiful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

URBAN Event Gifts

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I'd like to invite you to the URBAN event, where we can find deeply discounted offers from lots of wonderful designers. There are also free gifts for the members of the URBAN group, also free to join, in small bags in front of each display. A few are $10L or so, making it helpful to pay attention to hovering over each one before you click in case it shows a price :) Those are mostly the displays that have multiple gift bags, so we have the opportunity to save lots of lindens on multiple offerings from those stores. All the looks I'm showing you this evening are free gifts, and I switched to the Maitreya body because not all of them supported my Legacy I was wearing. Oh one more detail, this round opened on the 22nd and lasts until the 5th of August.

First I tried on the flirty .::BE BOLD::. Loose Girl gift. The dress and sandals each fit Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies, and we receive a HUD with 4 colors for each. The dress has a sheer section to show cleavage, and the lacy wrap skirt is particularly revealing so I'd suggest panties for most venues. I'm also a fan of the gladiator type sandals with straps all the way to above the knee, very impressive!

Next I combined two gifts for one steamy look :) The dress is our Graffitiwear April Dress group gift, which comes in sizes for Altamura Sofia, eBody Classic, eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic fine mesh bodies. Its spaghetti straps cross in the back, providing almost as much coverage as that deep plunging scoop ;) Really intriguing fabric design too, in great colors for any time of year. Then I added the ~~KiraTattoo~~COSMICA gift, the body art on both arms with bold stripes among delicate roses. Claim this gift and you'll receive system/BOM layers and appliers for Belleza, Maitreya, Omega, Slink, and Legacy, all in 50%, 75%, or 100% opacity options. I wear the 100% opacity for photos because I believe it increases visibility in pictures, but they generally look terrific in whichever level you pick.

Telsiope's Couture has a sexy gift for us too, their Margaret dress fatpack. There are 20 textures via HUD, a mix of solids and sheer with gold embossing. The dress is provided in Altamura, eBody Classic, eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, Tonic Fine, and Tonic Minim mesh body sizes. That wide frill on the top looks just as pretty in lace as solid, and those solid hues really show off a shine.

Another pairing that I enjoyed starts with our *Suna Design* gift called S-Elza fatpack. It includes sizing for Freya, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Petite, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies, plus a 20 color HUD to change things up whenever you desire. I always appreciate a sweetheart neckline, and the sheer section in the middle is a flirty touch. The striking tattoo is the Artattoo Cats & Roses gift, beautiful red blooms across the chest and decorating the silhouette of a black cat on each upper arm. The BOM layers are of 50%, 75%, and 100% opacity options, and I'm wearing the 100% here. I may be allergic to cats in RL, but my avatar certainly gets to enjoy them in any form :)

For my final look of the evening, I shimmied into the ::FOR YOU:: GIFT NAOMI BODYSUIT. It has a playful style with a layered appearance, like a bra beneath a one-sided suit that has a ruffle that reminds me of a sash. We receive Altamura, Freya, Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Petite mesh body sizes, with a 12 texture HUD for wonderful versatility. There are various colors embossed on black backgrounds, all except the white backdrop shown on the right above. So pretty!

I hope you're all having a pleasant day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Sunkissed Saturday Sale

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we have some fun variety, one hunt at two locations and a Saturday Sale bargain. The hunt is the Sunkissed Summer Hunt from "Off-Line" and Havoc, with new prizes each Friday at each location in a different summery hunt object. This week it is a kiwi, well one whole fuzzy brown fruit with a slice in front, and they are relatively easy to find at each spot. Just click them with the group tag for each store active, both of which are free to join. The previous weeks' prizes (some of which I shared last week) are still available at Havoc, while the ones at Off-Line are replaced each week with the new ones. So be sure to stop by each week and stay in the groups :) As for the Saturday Sale offer, that would be from Entice and is available at the discounted price until this Thursday the 27th, so don't let the name fool you into thinking it was just one day of deep discounts...Entice keeps them up for several days so anyone who has a busy weekend can still enjoy the sales.

My first look is the "Off-Line" x "Hazel" Dress / Chocolate hunt prize, one of their trio for the week. It comes in two versions, and as you can see on the right above the V2 has a subtle pattern while V1 is solid rich cocoa. They are each provided in sizes for Freya, Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh bodies. The bodice has a round cutout that is tied up top with a loose bow, very pretty touch on both textures.

Over at Havoc, one of the kiwi images contains the Havoc. Vicki Set. Rose hunt prize, free for all of their group members. Its top and skirt both fit Hourglass, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh bodies, and can be worn separately as well as looking terrific together. The soft color is a nice choice for the summer, and I really appreciate the lettuce edging of the hem and neckline.

Turn up the heat in the Havoc. Dallas Dress. Black prize! There are Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Peach, and Reborn sizes included, all with that daring style. The front and back are both laced ever so slightly, with lots of skin peeping through, especially that cheeky rear view ;) 

The third Havoc prize from their kiwis is the Viola Dress. Sky. It is one piece that is included in sizing for Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh bodies. The style is like a long sleeved shrug layered over a bra and high waisted skirt, with the shrug extending to the palms with the thumbs peeking through. The skirt has a slit on the left thigh, for even more visual interest :)

My final look this evening features the Entice - Send Me An Angel V2 lingerie set for the Saturday Sale. There are 8 individual colors that can be yours for $75L apiece, or you can choose the fatpack for $299L that includes 2 bonus exclusive colors. Al of these choices include bra, panties, and wings to fit Freya, Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya/Lift, Petite/Lift, and Reborn mesh bodies (Lift is apparently a mod from Ecru Couture for Maitreya bodies) and a collar that is unrigged and has a resize HUD to get a great fit. If you go with the fatpack, you'll receive a HUD that lets you customize the bra main/bows/lace, panty main/waist/ribbons/bow/lace, wings top and bottom, and the collar each separately. The look on the left above is one of the two fatpack exclusives, and I simply couldn't resist sharing it :) The lace is so flattering, and the wings are a great accessory for roleplay or romance. 

Another weekend is behind us, and it was a very quiet one here. The weather was decent though, hot but not stormy which was a nice break from the thunder and lightning that have been so frequent lately. My anxiety is still keeping me at home, so that is still a work in progress as it probably will be for some time. I had been looking into videos that I can listen to while I try to sleep, soothing things like guided meditation for anxiety and trouble sleeping, and I have a few saved that I find relaxing. You never know what will help until you try :) I hope you've all had a wonderful weekend and are enjoying your day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Marketplace Gifts

 Hiya everyone! Tonight just felt like a "stay at home, relax and prepare for the weekend" kind of evening, so I perused the Marketplace for some new gifts. I also changed into my Legacy mesh body, so that was a part of my search too. Some of the ones labeled legacy are actually for the free TMP body, so it was important to try each of them on to make sure which ones where for which version. It is always intriguing to see what is new on the marketplace since some designers are there rather than having an inworld store. I also sometimes just don't want to have to teleport too many places on a weekend since it can be more crowded/laggy, which makes the marketplace a nice alternative. 

First up, we see the *CK* Savage dress CAMO gift from Candy Kitten. The slip dress has dramatic slits on each thigh, and the neckline is trimmed in lace that can be tinted black or white by using the included HUD. There are sizes for Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Petite mesh bodies of this flirty treat. It may be camouflage but I can guarantee you won't blend in ;)

Next I changed into the Sin Original - Lexi - [FREE GIFT 1] set, a terrific find whose top and panty each fit Belleza Classic, Belleza Curvy, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Reborn, and Juicy mesh bodies. Their dark floral pattern is trimmed in bright orange lace and bows, so eye-catching and fun for any time of year. The way the tails of the bows curl down made me smile, and I'm realizing I have no idea if that is the correct term for those parts or not. I used to visit this store inworld quite often, so it is always a pleasure to see their creations.

This gift wasn't even brand new, but there is a timeless appeal that is amplified due to the new movie ♥. This is the [GIFTS HOME] FREE I'm a Barbie! (T-Shirt), a white tank top with pink text and deeper pink trim. It comes in Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Signature, Hourglass, and Physique mesh body sizes, and the arm openings are cut rather low so it is surprisingly sexy :) The Delizio jeans that appear here on my blog often seemed like the perfect choice, but you can wear this top with just about anything you wish and look perfectly put together. There is a small part of me that will always think of SL as getting to play with virtual fashion dolls, even though we all know it's so much more.

The Kira Couture Summer gift is a playful mix of sporty and sexy styling, thanks to the tank dress being gathered on each side and tied at the hips while trimmed in white. There is an 11 color HUD so you can choose your favorite hue, all of which have the same white trim and an image on the front that looks like it says "London Soho 09 Fashion District" although I did see it as a 69 at first. The flowers over top made it hard for my old eyes to see it clearly ;) This gift contains sizes for Freya, Isis, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Hourglass, and Hourglass Petite mesh bodies and a standard fitted version, in addition to the aforementioned HUD. It isn't even the only free gift I saw from Kira Couture, so be sure to explore their marketplace store.

My final look of the evening is the amazing ::TD:: Sofia Dress Outfit {Mesh} - 1 gift from Tiffany Designs. There are so many noteworthy details, like the midriff opening on the dress that makes it appear like two pieces from the front, with slender waist chain peeking through, or the fact that it includes shoes in the exact matched floral pattern! The dress is provided in Erika, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Gen X Curvy Dainty, Kupra, Kupra Bimbo, Legacy, Nerido, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Peach, Reborn, and Reborn Juicy mesh body sizes, in other words lots of options. The heels will fit the same bodies, there are just fewer total sizes because some of those mods or alternative sizes just affect the bust. I'm torn between wearing this outfit or the Barbie shirt all weekend, LOL!

Everyone seems to be discussing one of the weekend's big summer blockbusters lately, although almost all the talk I've seen has been about Barbie. My housemate saw Oppenheimer last night after midnight, and definitely enjoyed it but has said very little to me about it other than it being intense. I had Barbie dolls as a kid, and her smaller competition called Dawn dolls (no, I wasn't named after them LOL) which were only 7" tall so the clothing was smaller too. There is a sentimental attachment for me, so I will certainly be seeing the movie when it's possible for me to do so from home. I hope you all have a beautiful weekend ahead, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Still Enchanting

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I've got a lucky board prize and a few more group gifts from Enchantress to share, since there were simply too many for just one post yesterday. The group is free to join, and there are a few dozen gifts as well as lucky boards to one side and various multi-designer groups' gifts to the other. I've been keeping an eye out more for gifts that fit Legacy bodies since purchasing one recently, and most of tonight's looks are compatible with it but not all (the last one) so it's a Maitreya kind of evening :) I enjoy them both so it's all good, I just make it a point to note which one I'm wearing in each post for the sake of fully crediting everything I wear here.

First I shimmied into the lovely [Enchantress] Serena Dress 3, one of 5 lucky board prizes currently available for group members to win. This strapless tube dress has lace trim at the hem and a sheer midriff, with 12 dark colors to select from via HUD. It fits Altamura, eBody Classic, eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Legacy Classic, Legacy Perky, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Star, Tonic Curvy, Tonic Fine, and Tonic Minim mesh bodies for a wide range of popular sizing.

I was intrigued by the flirty [Enchantress] Marnie Body Gift, which is ours for free with that group tag active. It has a high necked halter style with bare back, and is trimmed all around in pretty floral lace. There are sizes for Altamura, eBody Classic, eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Hourglass, Physique, Star, Tonic Curvy, Tonic Fine, and Tonic Minim mesh bodies, along with a 10 color HUD. This way we can pick our favorite color, or maybe that special someone has a favorite on you?

Yesterday I mentioned that there are BOM/applier gifts in addition to all the mesh goodies, so it seemed only fair to share one :) This is the [Enchantress] Mika Outfit 2 Gift (and yes, there is a Mika 1 among the gifts that is Easter/Spring themed) consisting of BOM layers and appliers for Belleza, Maitreya, Omega, and Brazilia Doll. The plain denim shorts have a bold black leather belt on them, and the shirt comes in blue (right above), green, orange (left), pink, and white with various contrasting trims. I do appreciate the ability to mix and match, and we can wear these separates with anything else we wish too!

The [Enchantress] Angela Dress Gift is a fun blend of romance and sex appeal. It comes in Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Signature Alice, Hourglass, and Physique mesh body sizes. Personally I can't decide between the heart shaped cutouts or the pattern with LOVE and more hearts as my favorite detail ♥. The fluttery hem gets even shorter in the rear as you can see, so you will probably need some panties for modesty.

My final look of the evening is the elegant [Enchantress] Dianne Gown Magenta group gift. It is provided in one fitted mesh and 5 standard sizes for classic avatars, along with Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP mesh body sizing. The color combination is so striking, and the style is a showstopper with that opening in the back and the silver chains that almost give a corset feeling. This is a great choice for anyone who thinks that any color in the pink family is overly girly, as this is no Barbie dress ;) No shade to Barbie, I am actually wanting to see the movie eventually, but I know not everyone likes to look like a fashion model doll.

Not much to say about my day, as nothing has really changed and I am not planning on attempting to go to my parents' for dinner tomorrow or the farmers market on Saturday. I need to do stupidly simple steps first, like literally going to the end of the driveway one attempt then the end of the block the next time...isn't agoraphobia fun? I've been dealing with panic attacks off and on for 30 years now, so the fact that some part of my brain has decided that I am only safe in my own home is probably not all that shocking. The challenge now will be to convince it otherwise :) I hope you're all enjoying your day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
