Feeling FaShIoNable

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I activated my FaShIoNable group tag and headed out to several of their participating stores to see what I could find in the way of gifts to share :) This is one of those wonderful multi-designer groups that I enjoy telling you all about from time to time, and you will find info in the group notices about various sales and new releases too. Very handy, and the ability to claim gifts is certainly a nice bonus. The gifts can change at any time since that is entirely up to the designers' discretion, so I suggest you hurry if you see something that needs to be added to your wardrobe :)

My first stop was ART & FASHION where I checked their huge wall of group gifts to find the STOLEN HEART LONG DRESS for FaShIoNable. This lovely gown has intricate straps, a square opening to show cleavage, and a small train in the back among the many noteworthy details. It comes in 5 fitmesh standard sizes as well as Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP mesh body versions. The artwork is intriguing, an eye-catching antique heart shaped lock with a mysterious shadow next to it. 

I also visited [LRS] Creations, where I found an incredible 5 gifts for this group (okay, not so shocking perhaps if you saw a couple weeks ago when I shared some of the 5 for the TeleportHub.com group) so I randomly picked out a couple to show off :) This is their Lalitta Outfit, whose bodysuit and heels both fit Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Khara, Kupra, Kups, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Peach, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. The split style with solid on side and patterned on the other caught my eye, and that front opening plunging aaaaaaallllll the way down makes for a real showstopper too!

The [LRS] Elizza Outfit Ftp 4 gift is a warm weather look, pairing a cropped tank top and high waisted panties each in sizing for Altamura, Freya, Isis, eBody Classic, eBody Curvy, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, Tonic Fine, and Tonic Minim mesh bodies. There is also a HUD with 10 textures for each, all of which have a solid color selected for the trim so you will be well coordinated. That geometric print on the right is giving me strong 90s vibes, how about you?

Next I headed to K-Style, where I eagerly claimed their DIANA DRESS MAITREYA gift for us. The name tells you exactly what size it fits, and it was delivered as is, unpacked, just right click - add and you'll be wearing it :) The diagonal hemline is a bit high on the left, the side that also has a noteworthy white design that looks like a gorgeous floral and leaf image.

For my final look of the evening, I visited the wonderful V8 Underground and their wall of group gifts, so I could show off their adorable **HOLLEY FAIN URBAN STYLE COMPLET OUTFIT**. The dreamy peach top and pale pink shorts with beach belt/bow are matched beautifully by the satiny sandals, all of which are provided in Gen X Classic, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Reborn, and Waifu mesh body sizing. We get a slightly cheeky rear view, and I want to wear these sandals with everything ;) 

How was everyone's weekends? Mine was decent, a mix of quiet then busy and draining, thanks therapy :P  I went to a nearby convenience store and saw gummy candies shaped like Shaq's face, which cracked me up because I don't want to chomp on anyone's face, thanks, even if tasty fruit flavors. My stomach is a bit uneasy as a result of the stress of going out, so I'm just trying to take it easy and prepare for a new month in SL :) Those are always exciting and make for great distractions from RL stuff, as we all know, and October will bring all sorts of spooky vibes. I hope you're all having a peaceful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

The Saturday Sale Goodies

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we're taking a look at several more gifts from TSS Party Extravaganza, which is The Saturday Sale's 11th anniversary celebration. They are all free for the taking, either set for sale for $0L or click the box to claim, with a few being pay $1L and receive an instant refund while the gift is delivered to you. There are black boxes and pinstripe pink ones, with a few designers being kind enough to offer a gift inside each :) We all know by now how awesome the weekly sales offerings are at these participating stores, and it's so fun to see what's new each round. I feel like this is one of the earliest weekly sales events, and I'm impressed with their longevity and wish them many more years of bringing us the best of SL, affordably!

First up, I've just got to share the [aprelle] anya outfit gift since spooky season is just about here :) The tank top, cardigan, and shorts are all provided in Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Lara X, Petite X, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Peach, Reborn, Juicy Boobs, and Waifu mesh body sizing. The solid pale orange top looks great with the pattern on the cardigan and shorts, which reminds me of the jack o lantern pails we used to carry for Halloween when I was a kid :) They even have bows on their handles, so cute!

Bipolar is offering a terrific gift called Iris Set - Black. We receive sizes for Legacy, Nerido, Perky, Maitreya, Reborn, and Juicy Boobs mesh bodies each of the top and panties, with HUDs to customize the look. The top's HUD has 2 metals and 15 textures for the details (trim) both solid and a few subtle patterns, while the panty HUD offers the same 15 details textures. As you can see from the rear view, the panties are actually a high cut thong. I really love the heart shaped clasps on the top's straps, so I am very tempted to pair the top with some pants for chilly weather outerwear.

Next we have the charming .:Le Moon:. Mina Set gift, a pairing of tank top and mini skirt with HUDs to adjust the colors. There are sizes for Lara X, Legacy, Perky, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies, and 3 HUDs - top and skirt HUDs with 10 colors apiece, and a metals HUD with 2 choices for the chains in the skirt slit. The skirt is distinctively different than other similar versions of this outfit I've seen, as it is much shorter and sheer due to the intricate cutout pattern. 

This gorgeous dress is our Crypt Keepers // No. 19 // Maggy Silk Dress gift, and I cannot wait to wear it somewhere fun this weekend :) We receive Lara X, Legacy, and Reborn mesh body sizes, all with that great single sleeved style that has a bare midriff and dramatic diagonal hemline. Now I just need some emerald earrings and either matching or neutral shoes and I'm ready for the weekend.

My final look of the evening is the UC Summapaty dress white gift from United Colors. The gift consists of the strapless dress and underwear, each in sizing for Legacy, Perky, Perky Petite, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn mesh bodies, plus two HUDs. The one for the dress has buttons to turn the sheerness on and off and the materials on/off, then the underwear HUD has tabs for panty and edges each with 12 textures which are a mix of solid colors and floral prints. I kept the dress sheer on both sides above to show you the panties a little better, lol, but I'm sure you can imagine the dress in its solid opaque state :) 

Well, the weekend here looks to be stormy off and on because of Helene, which doesn't change my plans very much since I am usually home on Saturdays and have therapy Sunday which is either in my dining room or in the car. Dinner was nice, we celebrated my dad's birthday a few days belatedly :) I almost choked laughing when my mom dryly announced that she didn't have 81 candles for his cake, as usually that is more his sense of humor than her bubbly nature. I'm definitely a mix of both personalities, with some oddities all of my own. I hope you all have a safe and pleasant weekend ahead, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

TSS Gifts Galore

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I'm back at TSS Party Extravaganza, the celebration of The Saturday Sale and their 11th anniversary. In addition to over 200 designers offering discounted selections for sale, we can also find an amazing number of free gifts that you can claim without any particular group tag. The party is open until the 21st of October (although I did see someone post it as the 20th, so buyer beware) which means there is plenty of time to let the crowds thin a bit if you prefer. Personally I wanted to jump in before all the October spooky events started and made for an even bigger whirlwind of gifts! :)

For my first look of the night, I've got two gifts to tell you all about. The top is our MONOMANIA - All Hallows' Eve Blouse - ChChCh gift, and yes that is a kitty in a Jason Vorhees mask saying "ch ch ch... meow meow meow" above and below! I wore it to hang out with Xan, and he noticed pretty quickly and appreciatively :) There are sizes for Erika, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Khara, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh bodies. I love the style with one shoulder slightly bared, gives me flashbacks to the 80s. As for my shorts, they are our purplemoon gift called ::pm:: Blake Shorts. They fit Gen X Classic, Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, and Reborn bodies, in a soft lilac denim with lace trim. Fun fact, I visited an event and immediately upon arriving, received an IM that said "nice ass", so I'm crediting these shorts and my Legacy body ;) I didn't respond because I am not in SL to flirt, other than with Xan of course who arrived a few seconds later. Sadly he didn't get the same compliment, LOL, but to be fair he wasn't wearing these shorts...

The purplemoon shorts also came in handy to help me share our SEUL - Pierce Tee - OnSale gift, which says "L$75" on it but was in fact free :) It comes in sizing for Kupra, Kmounds, Legacy, Mounds, Peach, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies, and is both cropped and slightly gathered so it shows just a hint of underboob. The bare belly inspired me to share one of the R3HAB - Rugged Belly Tattoos, a gift of 8 BOM layer tattoos each in faded and fresh versions. Mine says "raisin' hell", and others include Troubled, made you look, Forever Alone, weirdo, revolution, other woman, and Death & Paradise. Which one matches your current situation? I'm also a troubled weirdo ;)

[The Forge] has a great gift for us, their outfit called Katya, Black. Its top and skirt are each provided in eBody, Legacy, Perky, Perky Petite, and Maitreya mesh body sizing. There is fishnet on both the bodice and right sleeve of the shirt, and a few insets around the waist and thigh openings of the skirt, adding tons of visual interest. It is a very sexy look for sure, and so well crafted.

There are so many shades of red, and I particularly like the one they chose for our Odd Doll. Asuka Dress Red gift :) It's a bit like brick or garnet but softer, so nothing like a cherry or fire engine's boldness, yet will absolutely turn heads. The style does too, thanks to the extra short skirt with side slit, big bow, and low cut neckline. We receive Legacy, Maitreya, Reborn, and Waifu mesh body sizes in this generous gift.

My final look of the night is a playful fluttery romper called Over - Akany Outfit - Fatpack. The short top and panties are linked by ropes in the front and back, so it all wears as one piece in sizes for Lara X, Legacy, and Reborn mesh bodies. There's also a HUD with 6 trim colors, so you can change the look if you wish. I've heard the word "Hentai" but it's not something I'm familiar with...anime in a very very adult style I think? 

It was a pretty exciting day because of Paleo Pines, my favorite game with the friendly dinosaurs, as their DLCs were released as well as a free update with some neat bonuses. So I spent a few hours in that world, befriending a new color of dino with a spooky theme after trick or treating :) My favorite species in there are Protoceratops and Styracosaurus, but I love them all so my faves change from time to time. If you know these species but not the game, I promise they are all cute and don't eat people. Ohh the gallimimus are awesome too because if you put a picnic table in their pen, they can jump up on them and dance which is so funny to witness. I have dinner at my parents' tomorrow, and lots of rain ahead but I'm just far enough inland to be mostly safe. I hope you're all having a delightful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Hurry To Tachinni

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I've got a limited time offer to share, and it's a doozy :) The Tachinni store is celebrating their 6th birthday, and they have put the entire store on sale for 30% off until the 30th of September. Their group is temporarily free to join, and right now there is a $400L store credit available for group members along with some other gifts by the front desk. The credit expires on the 7th of October, so that is another reason to hurry on over. I'm showing not only the group gifts tonight but a pairing of items I selected with my store credit, just for fun :) I have had the pleasure of seeing this brand at various events, so I was already an admirer and enjoy the opportunity to pick up even more of their fine fashions so affordably.

My first look of the evening is the Tachinni - Debora Jumpsuit - 2019 S&H group gift. There are red and black versions included of the jumpsuit plus a separate belt, each in sizes for Freya, Isis, Hourglass, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh bodies. The gift also includes a HUD with 20 colors for the buttons and 2 metals for the belt, so you can customize the look as you wish.

Sometimes we all need something sexy and/or romantic, and for that I suggest the Tachinni - Karolyn Bra/Panties group gift. Its bra and panties each fit Freya, Isis, Hourglass, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh bodies, and there are black and red versions of each piece. We also receive a HUD with 24 colors for the pearls trimming both parts, and 4 metal options. The sheer material dusted with various sized hearts will help us bring Valentine's Day to any day of the year ♥.

Another irresistible group gift I claimed is the Tachinni - Gabriela Set, which is as versatile as it is alluring :) The shirt and shorts are each provided in sizing for Freya, Isis, Hourglass, Legacy, Perky, and Maitreya bodies, with HUDs for each. The shirt HUD offers 23 colors and an on/off option for the lacy bra beneath, and the shorts HUD lets you turn the belt and the front piece each on or off, as well as select from 20 belt colors. I'm pretty sure there were at least 2 metals too, apologies for the gap in my earlier notetaking. 

For those days when I just want to feel pretty in pink, I'm going to lounge in my hot tub in this gorgeous Tachinni - Gigi Set. It's probably intended as lingerie rather than swimwear, but my hot tub has no lifeguard and no fashion police to stop me ;) Our bra and panties are each included in Freya, Isis, Hourglass, Maitreya, and TMP Legacy sizes, which I think that last one is specifically Legacy rather than the free TMP body, based on it being a perfect fit for the Legacy body I'm currently wearing.

My final look is what happens when you give Dawn store credits, lol, and these are discounted on top of it so the credit stretched even further. The Tachinni - Selena jumpsuit - #19 is one of a bevy of beautiful colors you might choose, all of which include original and lace versions so you can decide if you want to wear the sleek style on the left or the one trimmed at the neckline and leg openings with pretty lace as I wore to the right. All fit Legacy, Perky, Lara X, and Reborn mesh bodies, and there is a HUD tucked in there with 3 metal options. This is currently on sale for $140L. I added the edgy Tachinni - Selena coat - #3 which is a deep grey almost black, cropped biker jacket style that should be easy to incorporate into any cool weather wardrobe. These are $175L each at the moment, so my total credits spent were $315L which leaves me with another $85L to spend by the 7th :) The Selena coat is provided in the same sizes as the jumpsuit, and includes a HUD with 30 choices for the buttons and 3 for the metals. It's probably not surprising that I went a little matchy with my buttons, to really pull the pieces together. 

Well, I was supposed to go to the lab yesterday and get blood drawn, but the anxiety won and I couldn't make it. I am annoyed at myself but there is nothing I can really do about it at this point. My main concern is now the safety of everyone in the path of the hurricane, including the wonderful person behind Ari-Pari and Malus Park Events, so I'm sending her and everyone my love and best wishes for safety during this storm. In an effort to add something cheerful here, I am very excited about the Paleo Pines game celebrating their 1 year anniversary tomorrow with a free update and 2 paid DLCs ($3.99 each so very reasonable) and spooky seasonal dinosaurs. I've been watching so many twitch streams in preparation :) Picking which new dinosaur to obtain is hard work for an already swamped brain, and all the species will have the new colorway available. I hope you're all having a nice day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Party On With TSS

 Hiya everyone! Tonight's post features some more wonderful gifts from the TSS Party Extravaganza. That is the celebration of the 11th anniversary of The Saturday Sale, and most of the gifts are free with no group tag needed. Some need the TSS group tag which is free to join, so I had the tag active before I even got there to make things easier :) The gift boxes are either black or pink stripes, easy to see and contain all sorts of treats like fashions, tattoos, makeup, decor, and more for both men and women. I think I saw at least a dozen pairs of earrings among the mix ;) We have until the 21st of October to visit, so please don't worry if you cannot get in right away or it's a bit too crowded for your comfort at first. 

My first look of the evening combines two gifts, so we'll start from the top. That would be the Peechy. Callie Top gift, a sweet cropped tank in Kupra, Legacy, Bombshell, Rebound, and Mounds mesh body sizing. I really like the dark zigzag pattern in earthly colors that are nice for autumn :) It goes well with the zOOm - Rock Me! Pants (as many of your favorite tops will!) which have a fun design on the left thigh that suits the name perfectly. This gift includes sizes for Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn bodies. That richly dyed denim is an ideal neutral, and the waistband is just low enough to show off a navel piercing or tattoo without being too low for cooler weather.

Another gift that made me smile is our [Witch In A Box] Magic Stars Dress GIFT. This full length tank dress has a low slung belt attached, and has lots of burnished gold stars decorating the fabric pattern. We receive Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite mesh body sizes, and I'm sure it will look fantastic on all of them :) This brand first caught my eye at a Shop & Hop awhile back, and I'm always glad to see them at any event they participate in.

If you've read my blog before you may know how much I enjoy distressed denim, so this is an intriguing twist with shredding a different fabric! The .BF. Bratz Dress Destroyed FATPACK gift from Beauty Factory is sure to catch your eye too, as well as whoever you wear it near :) There are sizes for Domina Smash, Erika, Erika Petite, Kupra, Legacy, Nerido, Maitreya, Petite, Reborn, and Juicy mesh bodies, all with a HUD that offers 14 colors apiece for the dress, edge, and lace which is the bow at the nape of the neck. Our fabric is sheer and reminds me of runs in stockings, which probably shows my age a bit because I remember (with some dread) when stockings or pantyhose were always worn with skirts or dresses. What did we do, my fellow aged-like-wine ladies, when we got a run in one? Dab some clear nail polish to stop it from lengthening, because those hose were expensive and sometimes you had to get through several more hours of work in that pair. I may have used pink a few times when I wasn't within reach of a bottle of clear polish, lol.

Next we take a gander at the sexy :Dernier: "Rafaella" Bodysuit - White gift. It is provided in sizes for Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh bodies, and has a wonderful shiny texture. The high cut hips make for a thong in the rear, beneath the zipper which is a playful detail that I definitely appreciate. I do think about RL vs. SL issues sometimes like the need for a way to get in and out of an article of clothing being visible, and there are times it may matter.

My final look of the evening is the gift from *Avantage* called Melanie Black. The top, skirt, and panties are all provided in Lara X, Legacy, Perky, and Reborn mesh body sizes. Our sleeves bring the drama with a style that is full up top and gathered from the elbow down, with a name that escapes me at the moment, LOL, and that short tight skirt shows off even more skin with slits on each thigh. Even the peekaboo midriff is ready to grab your attention :)

Somehow this week really decided to put the pedal to the metal on me, as I thought my appointment for a blood draw would be later in the week but it is early tomorrow. I'm simply not going to have time or mental energy to blog tomorrow evening, and I apologize for the last minute notice but I will be taking the evening off. No worries, I'll be back the following evening with something special but as yet to be determined :) Yes, I still have more TSS gifts to share, but variety is also nice so my intention is to mix things up a bit. I hope you're all having a pleasant day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

TSS Party Extravaganza

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I'm thrilled to share some wonderful gifts from the TSS Party Extravaganza. This is a celebration of The Saturday Sale's 11th anniversary, and you'll find gift boxes in either black or pink pinstripes at nearly all of the displays (over 250!!!). There are a few set for group so I did join the group before visiting, but most of them were set for sale for $0L so you can pick them up without a group tag. A few were set for the wrong group or the store's group, but all the ones I am showing you will either be no group or TSS group goodies. Honestly I am still unpacking these treats, LOL, like Christmas morning a few months early. This does mean you can expect several posts over the next month with various gifts from this event, which is open until the 21st of October. Don't forget to grab any demos you might be interested in and visit again when the crowds calm down a bit for some discounted shopping!

For my first look I got a little spooky, or perhaps sloppy...the KILLJOY Mirage Dress [Bloody Gift Version] certainly does seem to be splattered in a mysterious substance, and that is a PBR texture so you will need a compatible viewer to see it. There are sizes for Legacy, Perky, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, Juicy Boobs, Reborn V-Tech, and Waifu mesh bodies. That neckline does such a great job framing our cleavage, and if you have a favorite necklace it'll probably highlight that beautifully as well.

This eye-popping dress is our #SHOOSH - Elena Dress [FATPACK] gift. It is daringly open in the front and laced loosely, in sizing for Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, Reborn, Juicy, and Waifu mesh bodies. We also receive a HUD with 20 solid colors and 10 animal prints each for a total of 30 choices for the dress and the laces. I did some mixing, but you can also do some matching if you prefer :)

If the term "little black dress" makes you think of something basic, the HORL - Malu Dress can certainly change your mind on that. This playful mini dress has slender straps that cross in the back, and is cinched between the breasts and at each hip with bows in every location. It will fit Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Lara X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies.

Next I changed into the amazing Rinoa Bra (Magenta) and Rinoa Panties (Magenta) by Madame Noir. They are loaded with sex appeal thanks to the sparkle and the G-string style of our panties! The bra includes Legacy, Bombshell, Lara X, Reborn, and Waifu sizes, with a HUD that lets us turn the sparkle and the materials on or off. The panties include that same HUD, and fit Legacy, Lara X, and Reborn mesh bodies. I was mesmerized watching the sparkle animation on the texture, and I felt like a living disco ball :)

My final look this evening is the *CK* Innocent Dress FATPACK gift from Candy Kitten. This lovely and detailed dress has a deep V neckline, asymmetrical hem trimmed with tiny fringe, and intricate seams on the bodice. It includes Legacy, Maitreya, Petite, Reborn, and Waifu mesh body sizes, along with a HUD that lets us select from 25 textures for the dress, 2 metals for the details, and 15 shades each for the strings and laces. Did you misread the word Baddie on the pink background above at first because of the font, like I did? ;) Love it!! 

The weekend flew by somehow, but I hope you all enjoyed yours :) Mine was decent, and I have some of my RL plans in place for the upcoming week as well as SL where I'll continue to unpack and blog the TSS treats, interspersed with other choices for variety's sake :) The generosity of these designers is always appreciated, and I am mentally preparing for how busy October will be in SL thanks to the spooky season and related goodies. The only other thing I did in RL is watch twitch streamers who got early access to the Paleo Pines new DLC that will be available in a few days, and I must say I enjoyed myself very much. I hope you're all having a beautiful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Sweet and Sexy Swank

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I had some more SWANK Event treats that I just had to share, and honestly there are still plenty that I could have shared :) I've been going random based on what body I'm wearing at the moment to be honest, not that it's difficult to switch but it isn't something I want to do several times in one post. I'm so pleased that SWANK is celebrating 10 years of bringing us talented designers' offers, and wish them continued success and longevity.

For my first look I combined two gifts for some 24K magic :) The [ZEX] Dreamer Top & Skirt * Gold Special edition gift includes sizes for Kupra, Legacy, Lara X, Reborn, and Juicy mesh bodies, and has a fantastic foil texture that really shimmers. The skirt is particularly short so you can expect a cheeky rear view ;) I couldn't resist wearing the Ohmai - Babi gold shoes to round off the look in style. These laced up platform heels are provided in Legacy, Maitreya, Prima, and Reborn sizing, and you may need to adjust your hover height (just right click your tag to get to the menu) to really show off these tall shoes that make our legs look like they go on forever.

Earlier this month in another Swank post, I shared a V8 Underground gift and mentioned it wasn't their only one. Well, please say howdy to another goodie from them, called **DREA DE MATTEO FATPACK COUNTRY STYLE COMPLETE OUTFIT**! The dress and boots each fit Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh bodies, and there is a HUD with 3 colors each. Also included on the HUD are some of our wonderful accessories - cowboy hat, scarf, sunglasses - with 3 colors apiece, and the fishnet stockings are provided as BOM layers in black, blue, and red to match the rest of the look. I like the idea of being able to wear as few or as many of the components together as my mood or the occasion calls for, then switching things up next time for a whole new look.

Our gift from [SaraFashion] helped inspire my post's title tonight in more ways than one. Their DRESS SWEET absolutely has the sweet and sexy both covered, by leaving parts of our body uncovered or clad in sheer black lace. There are sizes for Legacy, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, and Reborn mesh bodies, and a HUD with 10 colors to choose from. The lace is always black, and the solid portion of the dress is draped very artfully :) 

Next I slid into the lovely GAS [Top & Skirt Set Seraphina - 30 Colors w/HUD FATPACK] gift. Our top and skirt both fit Legacy, Perky, Lara X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies, and the HUD mentioned in the folder name has 30 colors for each piece separately as well as 5 metals for the chains draped across the opening of the skirt. The fabric has a pretty satin finish, except for the back of the top which is beautiful lace.

My final look of the evening is from Sascha's Designs, a brand that I've known for years for their high fashion gowns. This time around, they've got a more casual gift for us, their SAS - Dahlia Pink Paisley Jumpsuit. Be still my hippie heart! There are sizes for Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Lara X, Petite X, and Reborn mesh bodies provided. I do appreciate a nice paisley print, and the subtle yellow-orange touches really bring out the bold pink in this one.

It was a decent day here, and I enjoyed dinner at my parents' with more old photos (40s and 50s) and some tasty turkey meatballs with gluten free penne. They've been so busy, and it was nice to hear about their week and all the places they visited. As for my weekend, I have no idea yet what I will be doing tomorrow and I have therapy Sunday which should include an outing. I hope you all have a blissful weekend ahead, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

GIULIA DESIGN Gifts

 Hiya everyone! Tonight's post features several gifts for various groups, but all at one stop so you're only teleporting to one place :) That would be [GIULIADESIGN], whose fine offerings you may have seen at various events around the grid, some of which I have blogged over the years. Their store group is free to join, and the other groups represented in this post are either free or have a tiny cost to join, so overall we are saving lots of lindens and walking away with some really impressive gifts. Be sure to explore the whole store and see what else tempts you, in case you want to spend some of those saved linden dollars ;)

My first look is one of the store group gifts, called [GIULIADESIGN] -ACQUA-BLACK. The flirty top with sheer lace cups and the sleek pants are each provided in sizing for Freya, Isis, Hourglass, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite mesh bodies. I would probably add pasties beneath if modesty were an issue where I was headed, and to protect from the breezes that autumn may bring ;)

The other thoughtful gift for their store group is [GIULIADESIGN] -SASSY- , an outfit that certainly lives up to the name in such a fun way! The bodysuit, jacket, and boots are each designed for Freya, Isis, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies, and the fishnet stockings are a BOM layer so they should be compatible with all of those bodies. I slipped out of the jacket on the right, so you could see that the bodysuit is sleeveless and has a V neckline both front and back. The asymmetrical boots are such a clever touch, great for roleplay or just an edgy mood/look.

The MLM Frees&Offers group is one I've shared gifts for before, and it is the one I referenced in the beginning as having a small $5L fee to join the group. It keeps things safe and ensures a spam-free group experience, which of course I appreciate :) With that group tag you can claim the lovely [GIULIADESIGN] -MOLLY-FAT PACK skirt set seen above. The halter top and softly fluttery mini skirt (with belt attached) each come in sizing for Erika, Freya, Kupra, Kups, Legacy, Perky, Petite, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn mesh bodies. I'm sure you can guess that there's also a HUD in there, and that offers us 11 colors each for mixing and matching. The intricate straps always catch my eye, and this look shows off cleavage while covering all essentials. 

[GIULIADESIGN] -DEJA-FAT PACK is a special treat for the MGSN or Maitreya Gifts, Sales and News group. That is free to join, and there are plenty of gifts like this lovely one in various stores :) Our sexy new romper fits Freya, Hourglass, Kupra, Kups, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite mesh bodies, with a HUD that has 8 beautiful color choices. Much like Molly in the prior photo, this has lots of straps and bows to catch the eye and make me smile.

My final look of the evening is either a very short dress or a long sweater, depending on your comfort level :) The [GIULIADESIGN] -CHRYS- FAT PACK is a gift for the SLFO (SL Frees & Offers) group, which is free to join and has been featured here many times before as I'm sure it will be in the future too. This particular gift is terrific for the cooler weather that should be here soon (*taps foot impatiently*) and comes down just to the upper thigh while straining the buttons just a bit. There are sizes for Freya, Isis, Hourglass, Legacy, and Maitreya bodies, with a 10 color HUD. Each texture option has a preselected trim color, and for some reason I'm really digging the satiny deeper blue trim against the pale blue on the left. The red and pink stripes are so fun though! I had to cover up down below, lol, so the blue pair of Delizio jeans from their marketplace fatpack freebie was my choice as it often is :) If you don't have this gift already, I can't recommend it highly enough. It's got I believe 9 colors each in system/BOM layers and appliers for Maitreya and Omega.

It was a day...I didn't go anywhere, didn't sleep well, didn't eat much, and am just sort of existing right now. Tomorrow should be dinner with the parents, as long as their plans don't run overly late, and I have no idea what we're having. Last week was frittatas, rice and broccoli, so it was really nice and healthy. I hope you're all having a nice day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

TeleportHub Treats

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I really had the urge to explore the grid and some familiar haunts, so I found a few gifts for the TeleportHub.com group that I'm very pleased to share. The group has a small $10L fee to join, which keeps out unsavory types like spammers and scammers, and there are lots of participating designers who offer gifts as well as share their latest news (group notices) about sales, new releases, and events. I've been a member for ages now, and have gotten used to looking for their frame in stores I visit that surrounds a group gift and has buttons to join and visit the website. Just look for those, and give the picture of the gift in the middle a click :) I love multi-designer groups for the variety of stores who take part, and there are always some fantastic treats.

My first look of the evening is the [LRS] Ronika Top/Leggings gift, which is one of 5 available for this group at this generous store :) The cropped turtleneck top and snug leggings with wide waistband are each provided in sizing for Erika, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. The tie dyed pattern is intriguing in monochromatic white and shades of grey, and how fun is it to have a solid pant leg to contrast against it?

I randomly picked another of the TeleportHub group gifts here to show you, this time going very colorful in their [LRS] Cateline Set HUD outfit. The bra top and fluttery panties will both fit Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Peach, Reborn, Waifu, and Star mesh bodies. We also receive a HUD with 5 texture options for each piece, which all have a coordinated solid color that automatically tints the trim, straps, and bows. Very pretty! The prints are similar to plaid, or at least geometric stripes, and I am a big fan.

If you're getting ready for cooler weather, be sure to grab the [SS] Jolye Dress TeleportHUB Gift from SpicySecrets! This treat is more savory than spicy, lol, meaning it is on the modest side with long sleeves and pretty rounded collar. There are sizes for Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Lara X, Petite X, Legacy, Pinup, Bombshell, Maitreya, Petite, Peach, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies, as well as a HUD with 5 colors to choose from. I was particularly drawn to the A line styling with seams in the front to add shape, and the playful way the sleeves extend past the wrist.

Our JUMO Originals - PRECIOUS Dress Polka gift is a great wardrobe addition for those of us who have plenty of 'little black dress' type frocks, but want something slightly elevated :) The single shoulder strap is a great detail, and the pencil skirt hugs our curves in a way that makes me think old Hollywood glamour. The gift includes Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and Signature mesh body sizing. What a wonderful gift!

One more look for the evening, we have the [Sexy Princess] Kara Dress gift which is a gorgeous way to wrap up the post. This halter dress has a bold opening in the cleavage area as well as most of the midriff, giving the appearance of top and skirt held together by a single round golden link in the front. I can't resist the red rose pattern on the black background either :) This beauty comes in sizes for Lara X, Legacy, Bombshell, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies.

It was a frazzle kind of day, so I am running behind yet again, and struggling to remain positive after a housemate issue with broken promises and an irritating argument. Tomorrow is supposed to involve an outing (with said housemate) so I'm dreading the likelihood that I'll have an even more aggravating day to be honest. Otherwise I am still deciding what to blog tomorrow, and am counting down the days until certain SL events open which will be busy but exciting :) I hope you're all having a pleasant day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
