Hiya everyone! Tonight we are visiting the Palomma Plaza, which is loaded with free group gifts from many generous designers. If you recall The Free Dove, this is in the same spot and is in honor of Palomma "Dove" Casanova who operate The Free Dove for many years until her passing in 2023. The group here is free to join and give you a "Doves Angel" group tag, allowing you to claim an impressive number of gifts for just about everyone - men's and women's fashion, accessories, skins, hair, shapes, and more. My link will give you a red arrow to the spot between 3 displays of gifts that I'm sharing tonight, but I strongly encourage taking a peek around everywhere here :) I did a lot of mixing and matching among the brands, as you'll see, and am so glad I visited as always. Stay tuned as I believe their Doves Dreams event will be coming this month as well, with sales and gifts I will be glad to share.
First up, I start with the MAYHEM - SOFIE TOP FATPACK with its fun wrapped and crossed straps. This treat includes sizing for Erika, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies, as well as a HUD with 16 patterns and the ability to tint them. As for the bottom, well I found 2 coordinating gifts on a neighboring display :) The ExeCute // Ava Mini Skirt is so flirty, barely more than a tiny ruffle and waistband, that fits Freya, Isis, Hourglass, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh bodies. The enclosed HUD offers 17 colors apiece for skirt and waist. Because it's so brief, I appreciated being able to layer the ExeCute // Ava Thong Pink beneath. Conveniently, our pretty pink thong comes in the same sizes as the skirt, and the same name Ava being used made me think of combining them.
I came up with another pairing from these gifts too, and as always let's start from the top ;) That would be the Mayhem - YASHA HALTER FATPACK, a stunning top with high neck and bare shoulders that is carefully laced down the front just loosely enough to show off little flashes of skin. It fits Erika, Freya, Hourglass, Kupra, Kups, Legacy, Perky, Perky Petite, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn bodies, with a HUD that has 11 color choices each for the shirt and laces. I will note that this seemed to have a demo script inside, so after 5 minutes the HUD self-destructed on me ;) I unpacked a new copy and was able to use that however, and once you have the color you wish, you don't necessarily even need the HUD. It goes great with our ExeCute // Kudo Leggins gift, which are provided in sizing for Freya, Isis, Hourglass, Legacy, and Maitreya bodies. It too has a HUD, so we can choose from an impressive 42 colors each for the pants and the straps in the back. I really love all that crisscrossing back there!
Many times I feel like bodysuits in SL can also be worn as swimsuits or vice versa, and the ExeCute // Rose Bodysuit Fatpack gift is a perfect example of that :) The style is delightful, with gathering and a floral top with solid colored lower portion. As a matter of fact, we get to select from 10 textures that will match the neckline to the bottom, thanks to the enclosed HUD. There are sizes for eBody Classic, eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies included.
Next I slipped into the lovely MAYHEM Melody Dress Solids FATPACK gift. That lacing is just so eye-catching, and the playful little openings sure do tantalize us. We receive Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Lara X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh body sizes of this beauty, along with a HUD offering 20 fun colors to tint the dress. The fabric has a soft satiny sheen to it, just another fantastic detail that I couldn't help from mentioning.
My final look combines two more gifts, this time from the same brand and possibly meant to go together. The [ARTi'S] Darlene Top is a fun tank with spaghetti straps, lace neckline trim, and a notch in the back where it is ever so slightly unbuttoned. It fits Erika, Erika Petite, Gen X Classic/Dainty, Gen X Curvy/Dainty, Kupra, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Prima Busty, Prima Petite, Rebirth, Rebirth Petite, Reborn, Smol, Waifu, Senra Jamie, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh bodies. Whew! The menu to unpack which size you want is a few pages long, and it's no wonder :) As for our [ARTi'S] Fluffy Skirt gift, the lacing on the sides is an intriguing detail just like the lightly furry texture that makes me want to touch it. We receive plenty of sizes here too - Erika, Freya, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, Prima, Rebirth, Reborn, Senra Jamie, and Tonic bodies. That is pretty much the same set but without the bust mods that do not affect below the waist sizing :) Just because I'm wearing these together here doesn't mean that we can't easily pair either of these with anything else in our wardrobes, or something new you find right here at Palomma Plaza.
It's been a busy type of weekend, and that is not really good or bad; I'll go with calling it a mixture. The farmers market was quiet but fun, not many vendors but I adore the ones who were there :) The featured lunch vendor was very slow because of a malfunctioning grill, which isn't their fault but probably caused stress for themselves and others. The weather was decent at least. This afternoon we caught a mouse in my office here, isn't that fun...I'd been hearing chewing again, and learned my lesson earlier in the week not to scold it, LOL. This one is now happily released safely elsewhere, in a wooded area where it can probably find some friends and hopefully not try to return. Tomorrow evening is my support group meeting, which I am looking forward to since I do find them helpful. I hope you're all having a nice day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
