Doves Dream Gifts

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we are heading to Doves Dream, an event in honor of Palomma Casanova (of The Free Dove) that started yesterday on her RL birthday. The location is the same region as Palomma Plaza but up higher, and is gorgeously decorated with a very heavenly, ethereal motif that looks amazing :) We can browse a wide range of sales offers from over 80 designers, and if you are in the Palomma Plaza group (free to join) and have your Doves Angel tag active, there are dozens of generous gifts for you to enjoy. Some of these gifts are in boxes similar to the Palomma Plaza ones, with the black and gold logo of that location, so be sure to click any of those you see as well as any color or style of gift box. Fun fact, you may notice a lot of sunflowers here as decor and on sales items; they were her favorite flower and she'd even created a stunning garden in SL as a memorial to her sister. I'm so grateful to Shelby Monitor for keeping Dove's spirit with us in SL through the plaza, this event, and so much more.


For my first look of the evening, I am feeling flirty in our [FAME] BodySuit - Aneli / Gift. The pink and black colors are a favorite combo of mine, and I love the way it's split so one side has spots and the other is solid pink with pawprints and a smiling kitty on the front. There are sizes for Lara X, Legacy, Prima Busty, and Reborn mesh bodies included in this thoughtful gift.


Another treat I'm eager to show you is this {Le'La} Sunshine Dress Set ~ Exclusive Gift. It starts with the strapless belted dress in Erika, Kupra, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, and Waifu sizing, while the choker has a similar size set of Erika, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, and Reborn mesh bodies. Add the earrings if you wish, and your outfit is complete :) There is also a HUD provided, so we can select from 20 solid colors and 20 patterns each for the dress, dress ruffle, belt, and choker, plus 20 colors for the sunflowers. So we can tint the flowers of the earrings, choker, and belt all at once to coordinate everything beautifully. I feel like the red on the right makes them similar to poppies, which also have a symbolism of remembrance.


My first reaction when trying on our Delicatt Couture - Hennia Dress with Gloves was a loud WOW! Both our dress and the matching gloves come in versions with and without shine (sparkles!), and each of these are provided in sizes for Legacy, Bombshell, Lara X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. The HUD offers 40 colors each for the dress and the gloves, so there are many ways to wear this fun gift that will all help you look extra festive :) I suggest using your body's HUD to alpha out your hands if they don't play nicely with the gloves, as I did here with my Legacy body.


Next we take a peek at the lovely *Ydea* JUMPSUIT SHORT gift for the event. This bodysuit is unzipped past the navel, revealing lots of cleavage as well as the belly button. It fits Legacy, Bombshell, Lara X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies, and includes a HUD with 25 colors for the fabric. I really like the golden zipper color and particularly against the white, just a classic color combo that caught my eye :) 


My final look of the night is our Jaya Outfit By BlackbirdLace gift. The striking dress has the look of a turtleneck blouse tucked into a corset waisted layered skirt, in sizing for Erika, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, and Waifu bodies. The heels fit Erika, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn feet, laced up the calves to just below the knee. As I'm sure you can guess, the gift also includes a HUD, and this one lets us select from 30 colors each for the upper and lower parts of the dress and the heels. Time to mix and match!

Ugh...sad to say that one word (sound?) wraps up my week so far. My anxiety is through the roof and I didn't make it to my dentist appointment, then the housemate's ankle got intensely worse so they went to the podiatrist for a second opinion. It's not gout after all (which is why the gout medication did nothing) but it is an injured tendon, so they need my assistance with lots of things like wrapping the foot/ankle and getting things like food and beverages. The instructions are to stay off it for 3 weeks, which ruins several layers of plans including my outings to try to be able to leave the house again comfortably. I've got my fingers crossed that we can get some things delivered that they usually go purchase, and that my parents can help us a bit here and there. Life is always full of challenges, and all we can do is just try to roll with them. I hope you're all having a nice day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
