Hiya everyone! Tonight felt like a good day to relax and explore the Marketplace to look for interesting gifts. It's great if your weekend either RL or SL is going to be a busy one, so you can unwind (either before or after) and shop from the comfort of your own home. We can access the marketplace from any browser, or inworld you can find it in the menu up top of your viewer. I use Firestorm and it's under Content then SL Marketplace, easy peasy :) We can add our choices to our cart and then check out whenever we're ready, so if you are undecided you can pop something into the cart and then remove it before checkout if you change your mind. Searching uses terms (boolean operators) of NOT, AND, and OR, which must be capitalized that way, for example "Maitreya NOT demo" should in theory bring up items for the Maitreya body without demos. Some listings get around that by typing _demo_ or d-e-m-o, etc., but it is still worth trying :) Are you ready to see some of what I found?
First we see the gorgeous Leannah's Boutique ~ Fuscia Sequin Gown PBR gift. Isn't that texture amazing? There are sizes for Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, Reborn, Juicy, and Waifu mesh bodies included of our mermaid style gown with slender straps that cross in the back. The sequins are brought to life by the PBR, so you will need a compatible viewer to see this one correctly. I'm also a big fan of the color, as with all shades of pink or purple :)
Another great free find is the PStore Top BLACK &Jeans BOM Gift. The top and jeans are both on the same BOM or system tattoo layer, so it takes just a mere second to wear this sassy outfit :) I was drawn to the intricate texturing, like the lacy overlay on the top and the distressed spots and rivets on the jeans. With this monochromatic look, you can accessorize in kind or add all sorts of wild bright colors instead if you wish, when choosing your footwear and jewelry.
I must admit, when I added the IKWE Boutique ShainaVera Formal Gown Red gift to my cart, I had next month in mind. When cupid visits in a few weeks, you can enjoy this for an elegant date for absolutely free :) We receive sizes for Freya, Kupra, Kups, Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, Peach, and Reborn mesh bodies of this sleeveless wrapped gown with playful slit on the right side. I'm thinking silver or gold heels would look great, then jewelry in whichever metal tone your shoes are if you'd like to add some sparkle.
My next look is very exciting, because of its versatility and the fact that it is part of a rebirth of a beloved brand. The Kiwi Co. is formerly known as Blueberry, and there is a notecard included in this Holidays Gift / Skirts & Tops explaining that with a landmark to the new store. There are classic textures and PBR versions for every piece included - the top in Gen X, Legacy, Pinup, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn and Waifu sizes, plus the skirt that fits Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, and Reborn bodies. This is a fully loaded folder, and continues with HUDs for each. The top's HUD offers 40 colors each for the top and the buttons, while the skirt HUD has 16 denim shades to choose from plus 40 for the built in panties and the ability to turn them on/off, and even 7 metals for the buttons down the front. You know by now how fond I am of HUDs for turning one outfit into many possibilities, and anything denim is going to make me smile as well :)
My final look of the evening is the LUXE Paris ALABASTER Jacket, Short and Bralette v2 gift, yes another fantastic free find on the marketplace. The bralette, jacket, and shorts are each provided in Freya, Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Petite mesh body sizes, along with a floppy hat that is not shown. It is so intriguing that all 3 parts have different textures or colors, yet they work perfectly together :) The bralette matches the belt attached to the shorts, whose simple white hue is the same as the background of the jacket. I'm also loving the gold trim on the jacket, reminds me of fancy China like a formal tea set.
It was a quiet day and evening (at least until the fox outside started barking and crying just now) so I am just trying to prepare for the weekend. I've got an outing planned tomorrow, and therapy Sunday, with more snow on the way Sunday that will bring about 5-8 inches my way. If you just snickered because that sounds dirty, you're naughty and I like that about you ;) I hope you all have a cozy and safe weekend ahead, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
