Delicatt at Palomma Plaza

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I visited Palomma Plaza, as I love to do from time to time, and noticed that Delicatt Couture had changed up their gifts there since I last shared them. So I eagerly changed to my "Doves Angel" group tag from the Palomma Plaza's free group, and picked up all of their generous treats for us. The entire main floor of this location is loaded with gifts from dozens of talented designers, so it is a must-visit spot for new residents, returning residents, or anyone who needs a new look without spending a fortune. We've got men's and women's clothing, accessories, hair, tattoos, AOs, and much more :) I appreciate the variety, and even more than that I'm always pleased to know that Palomma Casanova's legacy of generosity and love for SL is being honored with this plaza. Your old landmarks for The Free Dove will still work if you have any, as it is in the same exact spot and the build is identical. Enjoy your visit!

For my first look of the evening, I am wearing the lovely Delicatt Couture - Jhully dress - hud 6 colors gift. It comes in sizes for Altamura, Freya, Isis, Venus, eBody Curvy, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP mesh bodies, along with the HUD mentioned in the name so you can select from 6 hues. The daisies at the hem might make one think of springtime, but seasons are all relative in SL because we can visit any hemisphere or biome with the click of a teleport button :)

This sweet outfit is our Delicatt Couture - Ingrid Romper with Lace 2 gift, and let me tell you - she is a beauty! There are 5 fitmesh standard sizes as well as Belleza Venus, Maitreya, and Slink Physique sizes, plus a HUD with 6 color options. The black scalloped lace brings the drama and maybe a touch of spooky season vibes ;) Surely I can't be the only one who thinks adding lace to just about anything can elevate its style? Maybe that's because there are so many types of lace out there, so you can mix things up quite a bit. 

Inside the Delicatt Couture - BABI long dress gift you'll find 3 more boxes, each with its own color of this elegant yet sensual gown. I'm wearing Green on the left and Old Gold on the right, with Vine (wine) being the other one not shown. Each of these comes in standard mesh sizes along with Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh body sizing. The neckline plunges to the navel in the front, and the back is mostly bare except for the gently draped straps that remind me of a peace symbol ☮.

Next I slipped into the fantastic Emanuelle Long dress gift, which includes both colors shown - blue sweet and sweet green. Each of these are provided in standard mesh sizes and a fitted version for classic avatars, as well as sizing for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP mesh bodies. The enclosed alpha layer came in handy to keep my hips and thighs from trying to poke through, lol, as I have found over the years that older Maitreya mesh models seem to not fit the 5.3 as sleekly as they must have for prior versions. I adore these gowns with their crossed straps and intricate linework down the front and back, with a teeny train to add to the elegance.

My final look of the night had me swapping over to my Lara X body, an easy and worthwhile task to be able to share the Special outfit - Sept. 24 - Delicatt Couture gift :) Our dress fits Lara X, Legacy, Bombshell, Reborn, and Waifu bodies, with coordinated strappy sandals in Erika, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya/Lara X, Reborn, and Slink sizing. They are more of a golden hue compared to the vibrant orange of the dress that made me crave a mimosa, and that's coming from someone who hasn't even had one in 30 years, LOL! Its halter neckline goes really well with the side cutouts that go all the way around to the back, showing off lots of midriff. 

It was a pretty good day here all around, as the heating system is now fixed (they flushed the system and it is noticeably warmer in here now) and then I got to spend my evening playing Hello Kitty with a friend and watching my favorite hockey team win :) They finally released an event related flower in HKIA, just for one week instead of the usual few weeks, but I've already gotten all three base colors so I'm off to an excellent start. They are shaped like Hello Kitty's famous bow, and are a nod to her 50th birthday. I'm eager to see my parents and their birds tomorrow, so I can see in person how much the sick one has improved. Now if only we could convince him that chewing on walls is dangerous...it's like having a 2 year old child but for a couple of decades. I'd like to wish you a Happy Halloween before I close things out here, as it is quite popular in SL even if you don't live in an area that celebrates. I hope you're all having a nice day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Hurry to MicRo

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we're visiting - MicRo -, where the group is currently (temporarily) free to join and we've got several gifts for that group to enjoy. They have 2 Halloween ones that I'm starting off with, quite late in the season but still technically before the holiday itself ;) They did not indicate how long the temporary free join period will be, so for that reason I am recommending that you stop by as soon as possible. I always feel guilty when I find out about something late, or without knowing the ending date, because I want to give you all enough time to get there, even if you don't have time to visit my blog every day. Well let's take a look at some generous gifts, shall we?

First we have the charming - MicRo - Helloween Outfit 13 Gift, just in time for the holiday. The top, skirt, and stockings all fit Legacy and Reborn mesh bodies, and the hat and 3 colors of bag (numbered 1-3) with built in hold pose are all included too. There's even a HUD with 3 color combos for the hat, bow, top, skirt, and stockings, so you can be fully coordinated :) Such a sassy and fun look!

For a flirty look in traditional Halloween colors, the - MicRo - Outfit Kawai Witch group gift is a fully loaded treat. There are Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, and Reborn sizes each for our top, skirt, gloves, and socks/shoes combo, with sweet bows to match the one on the broom we can hold in our left hand. The hat is adjustable, and the pumpkin for our right hand has a hold pose in it just like the broom does, so can show off your gourd and your mode of transportation easily. I think the stripes in various places here add an eye-catching touch, and this outfit would work just as well if worn without the hat or pumpkin or broom if you prefer.

Next I switched gears from a seasonal aspect, as this - MicRo - Dress BabyDoll Fatpack 4x has me thinking of spring. Just as the name indicates, we've got 4 color choices on the enclosed HUD, two of which you can see here. The lacy layered skirt is fluttering in a way that does remind me of a ghost, if you aren't ready to ditch the spooky season just yet ;) We receive sizes for Belleza Classic, Belleza Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies.

Some of our terrific gifts are separates, so I got to pair a couple of them for this look. The - MicRo - T-shirt Rainbow 5x Gift is cropped to show a flash of skin, in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies. Its enclosed HUD offers 5 options, each a different color and fun image on the front. Our - MicRo - Skirt Gift January is similar in that it fits the same mesh bodies, and has a HUD with 4 handy solid colors to choose from. Pleats never seem to go out of style, and can be so flattering by drawing attention to our curves.

We wrap up this post with a strapless bikini in a handful of textures to suit any taste, ready for your next seaside vacation or dip in a pool. The - MicRo - Fatpack Swimsuit Set has 5 different varieties that are each packed separately and simply numbered 1-5, so you'll want to try them all on to see which one catches your eye. They are worn as one piece, in sizing for Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh bodies. I'm wearing number 2 on the left and 5 on the right :) I do recall at least one being a sheer material, so these are more suitable for a mature audience. 

It was a quiet day, and the rain has begun that will be here for most of tomorrow too. I'm happily staying indoors, as I've got my weekly gaming plans with a friend tomorrow and we've got lots to chat about :) Time is flying, not just my evening but the month zipped past like a bolt of lightning or something. I hope you're all having a wonderful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

eBody Reborn Event

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we're visiting the eBody Reborn event, which is celebrating an anniversary (I think it's their 4th?) with special discounted gifts for $0L - $50L in black and red tote bags at every display. Some of these are designed just for the eBody Reborn mesh body, but not all, and I personally don't even have that particular body yet so I'm sticking to gifts that are included in multiple sizes :) Don't take that the wrong way please, I completely understand why those folks chose to honor the event's primary body, so no shade at all. I'm just letting you know that it's still worth visiting if you don't own the Reborn body yet either :) We have until the 4th of November to visit, so around a week remaining to scoop up bargains and treats.

My first look of the evening is our [ADD] Andel Dress - Blue gift, yours for free with no group necessary. There are solid and netfish versions each in sizing for Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. The enclosed HUD lets us turn transparency on and off, and pick from 10 colors each for the edging, lace, and built in panties which can also be turned on/off. We even have 6 metal options for even further customization! This is such a versatile gift, and undeniably alluring.

Speaking of alluring, our [Din] Justine Candy gift is also bursting with sex appeal :) It will fit Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Reborn, Juicy, and Waifu mesh bodies, including separate panties for each, and is crafted with an embroidered lace panel in the center with satin side panels. We can use the HUD to change colors, 8 choices apiece for the hems, belt, and panties, as well as adjusting the opacity and shine. I made it less opaque on the right so you could see the string of the panties. Those beautiful roses on the center panels really do look lovely in pink, don't they?

If you are tired of Halloween and ready to think ahead to Christmas, be sure to grab the free Buganvilla - Shalana Dress - C7 gift. Its red hue can start the festive feeling, but the three sets of Christmas lights belts (change, mix white, and mix black) really bring the ho-ho-ho ;) The dress and belts are all provided in Legacy and Reborn sizes, with a HUD for the dress offering 18 colors each for border, buttons, and thread (in the middle of the buttons) while the HUD for the lights labeled "change" lets you select from 2 cable colors and 12 for the lights. The black and white cabled lights twinkle just like the ones you'd decorate your tree with, so fun! If the lights aren't your thing, simply omit the belts from the outfit and just enjoy the mini dress with cute heart shaped buttons down each side. 

Next I slipped into the delightful [Glitzz] Milena Set - Rose gift, a lingerie pairing in black with pink and white flowers that match the pink ribbons laced through the openings on both. Our top and bottom both fit Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies, and come with a HUD with 3 metals. From certain angles and probably on different bodies/shapes, the nips are visible, but partly covered by the bows of the ribbons.

I did notice that several of the gifts were tattoos, so I randomly selected the Juna: Livia tattoo Woman treat to share and I'm so glad I did :) There are two fancy finned goldfish (koi I think) swimming face to face, almost replicating a yin yang symbol, with curves of text near each. It reads "Live by the sun" and "Love by the moon", with the matching celestial body sketched near each. I really like how inspiring the words feel, and the artwork is stunning. This gift includes BOM layers and an Omega applier, in ultra light, light, medium, and dark which is the one I am wearing here. 

It was an adventurous kind of day here since I went out to pick up dinner, further than I'd been able to comfortably go for a while :) The ride was okay, nothing I'd call easy but also not sheer torment either...it was nice fall weather, and I got a tasty meal (pork chop with apple brown butter glaze, roasted potatoes, roasted corn) that will work out to be like 3 separate servings for me. It was different than what I'd usually get there, so it was fun to try something outside my comfort zone. Tomorrow is a quiet day, then Thursday will be rainy but improved by heating repair and an evening spent playing Hello Kitty with a friend while chatting on the phone :) Her friendship really means so much to me. Well I hope you're all having a pleasant day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Casting More CMH Spells

 Hiya everyone! Tonight's post features several more fantastic prizes from the CMH I Put A Spell On You 5 Hunt. We've got just a few days left to claim their $1L prizes and exclusive offers of $25L - $50L, all of which are hiding in pretty carved and lit pumpkins at participating stores. The designers can choose to offer any or all of those levels of prize, so be sure to check the website to see what is available. It's got landmarks, hints, prices, and previews to guide you through the hunt path :) We're always going to find high quality treats from Cheeky Monkey hunts, with something to suit any budget, and there are offerings for men, women, and dinkies in this fun round.

My first look has me hoping that the 70s music channel I'm listening to plays Witchy Woman soon :) It's the $1L prize from Psyche's Pstyles called Belladonna Silver Spell, and it fits the theme so amazingly! Our dress comes in sizing for Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn mesh bodies, and we also receive the matching hat which is unrigged so we can adjust when needed. I had to nudge it forward because my bangs were peeking through the brim, and you may need to raise or lower it depending on your avi's height. 

Another bewitching hunt prize I highly recommend is the @rOrO Khloe & Everly Witches Edition. This $1L set is a pairing of the Khloe blouse and the Everly skirt, each provided in Erika, Lara X, Legacy, Reborn, and Star mesh body sizes. The pattern on the skirt is a coven of witches in flight on their brooms, hair streaming behind them among the stars and clouds, and a single sorceress appears on the top. I'm loving the unique hemline of both the skirt and the blouse, and gasped a little with happiness when I saw the rear view with those crossed straps :) Interesting straps have always been a pain in the neck (or a few feet lower) in RL, so wearing them in SL without having to worry about lining them up perfectly, untangling, or having to adjust them every few minutes is heavenly.

Gramma's @ Moon Bird Farm has a $1L prize to make my bird-loving heart skip a beat. It's called "Cawfee First" LS Shirt, which I'm fairly sure stands for Long Sleeved, and the crow on the front might as well be named after me ;) Its mug reads "Cawfee first - then chaos" and I've often joked that chaos should be my middle name, and if I were a superhero I would be something involving birds. I do hear crows cawing in my yard most days too. Our pretty sunshine yellow shirt comes in Belleza Isis and Venus Natural, Kupra Bimbo, Low, Original, Kupra Kups, Kups A & B, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Flat, Petite, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine sizes, so it fits a really nice range of bodies. They have another location in the hunt with a different shirt prize in standard mesh sizes too, so be sure to check that out if you're interested :)

Next we bring the flirt factor into our spooky season wardrobe with the Pynkie - Lixy Boo Dress for just $1L. This set includes the collar, top, and skirt, each in sizing for Belleza Classic, Belleza Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, and Reborn mesh bodies. The pattern has bats, ghosts, and pumpkins, and I think most of us would name one of those if asked what symbol comes to mind first for Halloween. The low cut tube top goes great with the short skirt and its daring slits, with the collar being an optional separate piece in case you've got a certain necklace calling your name instead. Then again, if a necklace is whispering your name or anything else to you, it just might be haunted...'tis the season and all, but be careful ;)

My final look of the night is an exclusive offer from :.C!L.: Boutique called Fabula Dress Wand Hat & Donuts Earrings Set. Its name does set the scene, as not only do we receive the gorgeous dress but also the wand, hat, and earrings shaped like donuts, all for just $25L. The lovely dress, which comes in Belleza Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, and Reborn bodies, has a strong vintage flair thanks to the gathered skirt and flounces of pretty ruffles. We can adjust the hat if needed, and I apologize that my hair is hiding the earrings but you can see them on the hunt's website if you are curious :) If you wish to hide your magical abilities (muggles can be troublesome), you can always leave the wand and hat safely in the folder for future use. 

Mondays can be a bit much sometimes, but I hope yours has gone smoothly :) Mine was pretty good, with some comfort food for dinner before my support group meeting for anxiety. That went pretty well, and I'm still laughing at myself for misreading the calendar and thinking the hockey game was tonight instead of tomorrow night. I was trying to set the recording and realizing it wasn't on, double checked and sounded like a very irritated Homer Simpson. I'll be going out tomorrow afternoon, to pick up food from a favorite restaurant that is further away than I'd been going lately. Challenges are good for the soul :) I'll wrap this up with warm wishes and lots of magical magpie hugs for everyone!!

KZ Halloween Hunt

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I've got a fun little store hunt to tell you about, a Halloween hunt from KZ and their neighboring store, NN. Each of their groups is currently free to join (but I've been in the KZ group for ages) and they each have some hidden ghosts specifically for their group members. There are 3 KZ ghosts in lilac which hold $1000L gift cards each, and NN has 5 in teal with tattoos inside. I did the KZ hunt and only found one of the 3, lol, which tells you how tricky this hunt is ;) There are tricks in addition to treats, as there are several ghosts that you can't click which are like decoys. Now obviously showing you a picture of a gift card is no fun, so I went around and chose several items that I obtained with that card. To use the card, right click the item you've selected and click Menu, then if it's a Caspervend vendor (most are here) you can click the Buy button on the card itself. The hovertext on the card will show how much it costs and how much credit you've got remaining on your card. There are also some group gifts upstairs, and I snuck one of those in as well :) There is usually a fee to join this group, and I'd suggest you stay in it if you can since Advent will be here before we know it and they usually have a calendar at that time. As for this hunt, it will wrap up in a few days when the month ends, so that is probably when the group's free join period will close as well.

My first look of the evening is the KZ Dress Laura Brown, which is $190L but I got it for free with the gift card. This flirty strapless mini has lace trim on the neckline and low waist, just above the ruffled hem. There are Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Lara X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh body sizes included, along with a HUD to tint the lace that has a full grid of color to click. This type of HUD means you can choose just about any color imaginable :)

Next I changed into another great find, their KZ Dress Esme Gray. I used $220L of the gift card to claim it, and the halter style is part of what drew me to this dramatic, dreamy beauty :) We receive sizes for Legacy, Perky, Lara X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies of both the dress and a pair of panties, with two HUDs to customize the look. The dress HUD offers 21 colors for the edge and the lace, while the panty HUD offers a full grid of color to click and adjust your favorite hue.

This lovely shirtdress is the KZ Dress Missy Rose, available for $190L or free with use of a gift card. It has long sleeves that fall well past the wrist, with a Western or cowboy type style thanks to the front pocket plats, metal tipped pointy collar, and broad belt. The belt, pockets, and collar are even studded with little beads, such a pretty touch! The dress comes in Legacy, Perky, Lara X, and Reborn mesh body sizing, with several HUDs to jazz things up :) One HUD offers 18 colors for the belt, while another adjusts the decor with a color grid and on/off options. The metals & buttons HUD is what to add if you want to change their colors with 16 choices for each.

KZ Dress Candy Mint is a playful layered look with its poofy sleeves, gathered bust, cinched waist, and lacy trim. The dress and panties both fit Legacy, Perky, Lara X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. We also receive a lace HUD with 3 color grids for the sleeve bows, waist bow, and hem lace, and a HUD for the dress with 2 colors for the top and transparency option off/on so we can make that blouse layer a bit sheer if we wish. It is normally $190L but I was able to use the giftcard to receive it for free :)

Most of the remaining credit on my card went towards the beautiful KZ Top Nadia Black, whose regular price is $190L. It is summery at first glance when worn alone, but also layers beneath sweaters and shrugs very nicely for these cooler times. There are sizes for Lara X, Legacy, Reborn, and Rolls bodies, with a metals HUD offering 5 hues to adjust those little loops on the edging. I couldn't resist pairing it with a group gift, our KZ Skirt Pippa Fatpack, which is upstairs with several other treats for members. The style is flirtatious as with many of their designs, thanks to the left side slit that goes from waist to hem and has two chains dangling along our hip. It fits Lara X, Legacy, Reborn, and Waifu bodies, with a HUD offering 10 colors each for the main skirt, waistband, hem edge, and each of the two side chains I mentioned :) Get creative and make it look the way you want it to, as I believe that the ability to personalize our clothing is one of the many little things in SL that makes it so entertaining. Yes, we have big things like concerts and museums, but I take joy in doing anything in SL that I cannot do in RL.

How was everyone's weekend? Mine was pretty good, and I enjoyed the farmers market with the brisk but sunny weather. There is a baker who's there about once a month or so, who stopped by to start setting up for an event next door instead, so we chatted with her for a moment in passing. She mentioned twice how good it was to see me, so I know she's very aware that I hadn't been there in a while, which felt awkward but reassuring somehow. Very kind and friendly person, as all of the vendors tend to be, so I'm glad I saw her even briefly :) The people make it special, and the tasty foods are just a bonus. Tomorrow evening is an anxiety support group meeting, but that won't interfere with my blogging plans, just the hockey game that starts at the exact same time. That happened last meeting too, so my tivo will be set to record it. I hope you're all having a pleasant day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Weekend Swank

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we return to the SWANK Event for their Goth theme round with pumpkin hunt. These prizes are all completely free for everyone who finds the carved pumpkins with a golden Swank logo in the opening. You just need their group tag active, and that is free to join too, so that just leaves the tempting sales offers if you wish to make some purchases while there ;) I am not trying to be a bad influence if you're being cautious with your spending habits, which is why I usually focus on discounts and freebies. By the same token, I understand that without some shopping to support these designers, they wouldn't be able to provide gifts and hunt prizes. So they go hand in hand, grab the gifts and thank them by checking out their sales offers :)

My first look of the evening is the playful ANNA 'Softline' Outfit'FATPACK. It consists of the lacy bra, skirt, and panties, each in sizes for Lara X, Legacy, and Reborn mesh bodies. There is also a HUD enclosed with 8 color choices for each piece, so we can mix and match with ease. This is such a pretty set, and the lace has me thinking lingerie :)

What better way to head into your weekend than decked out in leopard print? The {Le'La} Evora Dress Gift is a stunning long sleeved mini dress with black trim to really bring out the animal print's rosettes nicely, and that zipper in the front just begs to be played with ;) There are sizes for Erika, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, and Reborn mesh bodies included.

These two gifts are variants of the same beautiful dress, so I'm showing them together as a way to appreciate both lovely colors. The AXE-DRESS IDA /07 is the turquoise beauty on the left, and AXE-DRESS IDA /09 is the golden hued one on the right. They both have silver chains for the shoulder straps, and a velvety texture that makes both colors even more appealing. Each gift holds sizing for Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn mesh bodies.

In a prior post of Swank gifts, I shared a V8 Underground treat and mentioned there was another for the ladies (and one for the gents), well here it is! Their **ABADDON X DEMON CONCEPT COSTUME COMPLETE OUTFIT** is fully loaded from head to toe, starting with the pauldron (top/shoulders), panties, and boots that fit Legacy, Lara X, and Reborn mesh bodies. The makeup you see is a BOM layer for EvoX, and there are BOM layers for sheer transparence that is the shiny latex appearance on my midriff and thighs. We also receive two bracelets, a choker, horns, headpiece, tail, wings, and a fork that is held in my right hand with its built in pose. All of these items are adjustable, so you can get the devilishly good fit you deserve :) Personally I think they excel at creating costumes which makes this a special time of year to check their sales.

My final look tonight is our #SHOOSH - Elvi Gown [FATPACK] which is simply fantastic for this time of year :) It did make me think of Elvira when I spotted it, and also Morticia Addams, two elegantly gothic women who would rock this gown in a heartbeat! There are sizes for Erika, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies provided, along with a HUD that allows us to select from 25 colors each for the dress and sleeves, plus on/off for the sleeves, then 5 metals each for the back web, sleeve spiders, and dress spider, with on/off options for each of those as well. I've got it all visible on the left, and I turned off the sleeve spiders to the right without hiding the dramatically peaked sleeves because I simply adore them :) If you have some arachnophobia tendencies and want to hide all the spiders, it's very easy to do so and this still looks fantastic without.

It was a decent day, with a delicious meal at my parents' so that's always a plus :) My nerves are still frazzled but that is because I'm going out again in the morning and that makes 3 days in a row which is a lot for someone with agoraphobia. Anyone remember the Simpsons episode where Marge developed it from being mugged, and was magically cured by the end of the episode? My life is clearly not animated fiction, lol, and I am not thrilled with that type of portrayal because it makes people wonder why I am not being cured as easily. It took me over 30 years to get to this point, so there is no switch I can flip to turn it off. Bob's Burgers actually included a character with it in an episode, and they handled it nicely so I wish they would bring her back :) I hope you all have a wonderful weekend ahead, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Redeux Halloween Sales

 Hiya everyone! Tonight's post is full of treats from the Redeux Halloween Sales 2025 event, where in addition to wonderful timely sales offerings you can also find free group gifts. Just join their Redeux VIP group (free to join) and click all the pumpkins you see that are wrapped with a black ribbon. I do recall one that was just the word GIFT on a wall, and another might have been in a flat box like a sign in the front of the display, but mostly they're in the pumpkins :) This is the seventh year of this fun event, and it's decorated just as spookily as I'd remembered, so come visit and get some frighteningly good gifts and bargains!

First up, I am sharing the [Witch In A Box] Brielle Outfit gift that captured my attention with the slightly raised shirt and fluttery short skirt. The top, skirt, and separate belt are all provided in sizing for Freya, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh bodies, along with a HUD that offers 3 colors each for top and skirt/belt. The skirt is a solid texture, and the shirt has has a subtle print of a ouija board on it that is both timely and brand-appropriate ;)

This sexy number is the [UNC] Patty Outfit - Halloween gift from Uncontrollably Fashion. Its teeny tube top and fluttery skirt are each provided in fitmesh standard sizes as well as Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh body versions. There's also a HUD for the top with 6 sayings, including Hocus Pocus and BOO! as I'm showing on the left and right, respectively. Now I am wearing my Legacy body and you may notice that is not listed in the sizes...I tried on several others out of curiosity and found suitable fits :) It never hurts to try, and I would have changed bodies really quickly if nothing worked out.

Next we've got a combo of gifts that is so sizzling hot that I had to bust out the modesty flowers in Photoshop ;) That would be because our Faida - Angie Halloween is a sheer wisp of cobwebs formed into a sultry tank top with pretty ruffle on the neckline. There are sizes for Cinnamon & Chai, Kupra, Kups, Legacy, Maitreya, Maitreya Flat Chest, Slink Hourglass, and Tonic Minim mesh bodies included. It pairs remarkably well with the sassy *PF::Halloween2025 Skirt from Pearl Fashion, with its built in thong panty and studded belt. The fabric has an orange pattern that looks like carved pumpkins (but my eyesight is garbage lately so please forgive if I'm wrong) and the back of the hem is lifted to show off some cheek. We receive sizing for Erika, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Legacy, Love Aphrodite, Love Momma, Maitreya, Peach, Reborn, Juicy Rolls, and Jelly Belly mesh bodies. 

Spells&Charms is here to prove that Halloween can be represented in pastel tones too, with their gorgeous gift called {S&C} Mystic Witch Dress. The satiny slip dress is designed for Erika, Freya, Hourglass, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh bodies, and we also get a HUD with 6 dreamy textures. I did notice in trying them all out that one is not matching the HUD and is actually a sheer solid color, lol, but the rest are like you see above with clouds, stars, and the occasional crescent moon shape peeking through the wash of pastels. I'm sure you can tell how much I love this ♥.

Do you need some long stiletto nails with spooky skulls for this time of year? If you just nodded, then be sure to grab our Fatal Fashion gift! Their FF Original - Nail_NH - 07 set of mesh nails is a terrific and versatile addition to any Halloween outfit, thanks to the 10 colors we get to choose per set of nails (meaning both thumbs, both index fingers, etc.) via HUD. The nails themselves will fit Gen X, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, Nhumana, and Reborn mesh hands. All you have to do is use the body's HUD to hide its built in nails, and add the correct size from this folder. Then you get to play with the HUD and create the color combo of your dreams :) No messy polish, no curing the gel under lamps for ages, and no stinky acetone to remove them...my favorite aspect would be no smearing if you dare touch anything while traditional polish takes its sweet time drying solidly. 

Today was a challenging one, thanks to a stubborn housemate and a whopping dose of anxiety in the car. We went out much later than planned, and I was a shaky mess by the time we arrived at our destination. I did well in the store itself, distracting myself with looking at all the things, but the way home turned out to be even more challenging than the way there because it was dark. Somehow the darkness really makes me more scared to be in a car, and I'm not sure why other than my poor nighttime vision because I'm getting older. The timing was bad, but I need to focus on the fact that I got further than I have in like 3 years and survived :) I will never be one of those people who loves being in a car, going for a random ride, but that's okay and I don't need to be. Tomorrow is dinner at my parents', always a pleasant way to spend an evening. I hope you're all having a nice day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Shop and Hop Credits

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I've got some Shop & Hop goodies to share, but rather than the actual gifts, I went with purchases I could make at the event with store credits or a gift card that is the store's S&H gift for us. So you'll want to go to each landmark, click to receive your credits/card, then peek around their stand to find the gift I've chosen to redeem them on. Of course I expect that you'll probably want to choose something else instead there, and I highly encourage that :) After all, the credits are intended to let us pick out things that speak to us, and I stuck to ones whose vendors at the event are set to allow us to use the credits, taking advantage of their discounted sales :) It's a good way to get more bang for our buck, and if you don't see anything here you can always head to their mainstores to apply those credits to whatever you prefer. Many of the gifts of store credit do expire when the event ends in early November, so this post can also serve as a good reminder to use them while you can! Also worth mentioning, the FabFree spreadsheet of gifts lets you sort by type (tabs at the bottom) so you can check specifically the stores offering credit which are in purple. Many thanks as always to the FabFree team for their dedication.

My first stop was Buganvilla, where there is a generous $300L store credit waiting for us. I chose their Noa dress - C9 for $196L with that credit, by right clicking and choosing menu, then buy, then store credit. This lovely minidress has PBR and non-PBR versions included in Legacy and Reborn mesh body sizes, and we also receive a HUD with 28 colors for the fluffy trim. I'm wearing the PBR version here, so my dress is responsive to light, and it was so fun to change the coloring of our furry cuffs and hem :) 

Kastle Rock is offering a $500L gift card as their treat for all visitors, and their sales items here at S&H are so affordable that you can pick up a few items on it :) This is their :K.R: Rue Dress - Blacks - Toxic, which is marked down to $140L at the event. There are sizes for Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Kups, Legacy, Perky, Petite, Pushup, Maitreya, Ecru, Petite, Reborn, and Juicy Boobs sizes for the dress, compatibly sized panties with a HUD for the panties with 16 colors. We also receive 3 sets of BOM pasties - striped, black, and white which are tintable. The neckline isn't low enough to really need them, but I did keep them on for my next look...

Another Kastle Rock outfit I treated myself to with the gift card is their :K.R: Kennedy Casual Set - Teal, on offer for just $88L :) The top is lower cut than I realized at first, LOL, so I'm wearing the black BOM pasties from the prior dress I shared. This sweet set includes the top and shorts in Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Lara X, Petite X, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Reborn, Juicy Rolls, and Waifu body sizing, with a HUD that offers 14 colors each for the top's ties and the shorts' waistband. I love the way we combine sporty with flirty! Now my two purchases left me with over half of the card's credit, so I'll go back and pick up a couple more treats soon :) But there are other stops and other credits gifts to share so I'm moving on...

Next I claimed the $300L credit at SAGED, and chose their Membrane Dress which was $280L of that credit. I know it says dress, but with the built in panty and hip height hem, I'm thinking of it more as a bodysuit :) Either way, it's definitely a flirtatious outfit, in sizes for Legacy, Perky, V-Tech, Reborn, and Reborn V-Tech bodies. The style is so unique with the wavy seams and left side openings, and just wait until you see the versatile HUD! That lets us choose from 3 colors for the right side, all neutrals, and 36 textures for the left which is a nice mix of patterns and solids. The panty portion stays black, so that's another handy neutral that will work with anything else you select from the HUD. 

My final look is from -[ vagrant ]- and their $300L credit, which all went towards this fun Valerie Top - Patterns fatpack. The top is provided in Lara X, Petite X, Legacy, Perky, and Reborn mesh body sizing, and it includes a HUD with 14 choices. Each design for the front has a different color background, and I know it's hard to see but the left says "I'm QUEEN" and the right says "Sunshine" on the top and "Brave and Free" beneath the intricate sun. There are other designs that are summery, and a few animals, so it is a nice variety :) I am wearing my favorite Delizio jeans here, free on the marketplace, but there were some great jeans and denim shorts that were tempting from vagrant as well. The only thing that stopped me was trying to keep the post limited to what I could pick up with this event's credits gift only. To be honest, I had more credits because they don't seem to expire and I do forget to redeem them all sometimes, lol, but chose not to show you more than you could afford with this round's gift.

Whew, I am one tired magpie tonight! Everything I'd planned for today and tomorrow is all flipped around, so my brain is lagging worse than opening day of an SL event. I had a great time playing Hello Kitty earlier with my friend, and chatting with her and her husband who also plays. They are going to a haunted hayride and corn maze tomorrow, which sounds exciting, and *fingers crossed* I'm supposed to be doing an outing that will take me further than I've been in a few years. My nerves are really building up, but I am eager to accomplish the challenge. Well, I hope you're all having a lovely day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
