Enjoying The Gacha Life

 Hiya everyone! Tonight's post comes from The Gacha Life, an event that takes place every other month (even numbered months like June as the 6th month) and whose current round's theme is Pool Party. The event group is free to join and enables you to claim some delightful gifts from most of the participating designers. The gachas are addictively fun, as they hold an assortment of items and for a small price per play you will receive a randomly selected one from the set. It might be clothing in various colors, or several components of a home decor set, or seasonal accessories to fit the pool party vibe..just have a look at the poster on each machine for details. The group gifts have framed pictures next to the black bag we click to claim them, so you can see what you will be enjoying.

My first look is the [GIULIADESIGN] gift called EUSOPIA BLUE. This outfit consists of the top and skirt each in Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizes, with Maitreya and Slink High versions of the high heel mules. The crisp white collar and pale buttons are a perfect contrast for the dark vest style top and itty bitty mini skirt. 

Polka dots are such a classic way to liven up any outfit, whether bold or on the subtle side like they are here in the Key style (KS) SANDY OUTFIT gift. The top and skirt are each provided in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique bodies, with matching sandals for Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink high feet. There is also a HUD included with 3 color choices each for the skirt, bow, shoes, and top. The bow refers to the one on the skirt only, as the bodice bow changes with the top selection. As always with HUDs I suggest just having fun and clicking all the various buttons to see what color combo grabs your attention.

No pool party is complete without swimwear, so be sure to grab your gift from *Sexy Style* for your summer wardrobe. It is called Giorgia col.5, and its two pieces each come in Freya, Legacy, Perky (bra) and Maitreya sizing. The bra has a colorful pattern that I think is ladybugs (it is very small!) and the thong style bottom is a solid light aqua shade that matches one of those found in the pattern to coordinate quite well. 

Another generous gift is the *Lilly* top 3 colors from [C.Y <3 Fashion]. In addition to the light blue and pink colors seen above, there is also a cream version and they are all included in sizes for Freya, Isis, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique bodies. 

For my final look of the evening, I slipped into the [BQ] ::Peonia Bodysuit:: which is the gift from BlondeQueen. It is so cleverly crafted with a strapless front and plunging back that is laced together by several lovely crossed straps. I think there would be a strong temptation for someone to gently play with that back like a stringed instrument, don't you? It comes in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizes. 

I am running behind tonight so I will quickly wrap this up with wishes for a beautiful day/evening and lots of magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

I Love The Gacha Life

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we are heading to The Gacha Life, a bimonthly (every 2 months) event that lets you try your luck on gachas and claim some generous group gifts. The group is free to join, and the gifts are inside black bags at each display with a framed image of the gift next to the bag. A selection of those gifts are what I will be sharing tonight, and the best part is that there are even more than the handful I randomly chose to display here :) This round's theme is The Great Outdoors, so the designers let their imaginations run wild and I really enjoyed the selections.

My first look has me daydreaming about summer! It is the *Sexy Style* Karim Outfit 4, and it consists of the bra top (bikini top?) and long skirt each in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizes. The skirt has such a fun Boho style, like a denim mini skirt with a long scarf attached. 

Time to get flirty with the group gift from GIULIADESIGN called ROSITA 1. Our dress and boots are each included in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies, and there is a jewelry set of necklace and matching earrings provided as well. The dress is very lingerie-like with thong panties built in, and there is something so seductive about thigh high boots!

C.Y <3 Fashion has a gift for us called Milly, a pretty pink dress with high-low hem and a floral heart pattern. It includes Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizing, plus a pair of black shoes (not shown) that did not quite fit my Maitreya feet and were not adjustable so I couldn't tell what body they are made for. You can just as easily wear a pair of white or pink shoes with it to complete the look if you prefer :)

This gift is both sexy and romantic, thanks to the lace and the plunging back revealing a bit of bum cleavage. It is the Cherie Mini Dress from KEY STYLE, and can be yours for free with your Gacha Life group tag. It comes in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizes, with a 3 color HUD so you can customize the look. 

For my final look of the evening, I chose the BlondeQueen gift called BQ::Pink HeartDress:: which comes in a single Maitreya size. I really like the swirly heart pattern on this short halter dress, and the white lines really make the various shades of pink pop. 

It has been a long day, and I found out that my housemate is having company for the upcoming weekend which does not thrill me because the guest's behavior tends to be less than stellar. My healthy food will be shoved aside in the fridge (or possibly thrown out) to make room for cheap beer, and the noise levels will be off the charts. I will do my best to be patient and polite, but will mostly be hiding here in the room with my computer and tv. I hope you're all having a lovely day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

The Gacha Life

Hiya everyone! Tonight we are visiting The Gacha Life event, where you can find tempting featured sets of items inside a gacha machine that you pay a small amount to receive one of the items at random. Warning, they are addicting! ;) Also at the event, you will notice that nearly every participating designer has a group gift out for all members of The Gacha Life group, which is free to join, inside a black gift bag next to a framed image of the gift. The August round of this bimonthly event has a theme of Around The World, so you can imagine how diverse the selections are. I always make sure to visit, and I hope you have fun here as well.

My first look is the group gift from GIULIADESIGN called LULES, a full outfit in white trimmed with racy red. The bustier, skirt, and socks/shoes combo are each provided in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizing. There are many details to appreciate here, like how the rear bow matches the back of the socks and the ones on the shoes, and those pretty buttons all the way down the seam of the sheer socks.

This generous gift is also a full outfit, from AnaSTyle called Erya Zebrine. The exotic zebra print dress comes in standard mesh sizes as well as Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine versions. Also included are the diadem (head piece), pearl necklace, left bracelet, right arm bracelet, and unrigged ankle chains, all of which can be adjusted to fit your personal shape. I really do appreciate having accessories provided like this, and did you notice that the bracelets have a built in glow?

BLONDEQUEEN is offering this attractive BQ Sparkles Dress :: Roses as their Gacha Life group gift. The flirty styled mini with floral pattern comes in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh body sizing, and I think it is a flattering look for any size or shape.

Next we celebrate summer with the gift from *SexyStyle*, their Bikini Sandra Silver. All the ties are trimmed with tassels, and that shine of the metallic fabric is just amazing! This gift includes the top and bottom separately, each in Freya, Hourglass, and Maitreya sizes.

Sometimes our nails need to feel pretty too, so for my final look of the evening I present to you the SC Alice Nails Pink gift from Sorry Charlie. There are Maitreya and Slink versions, so all you need to do is hide the nails with your body's HUD and add these instead (right click - add). These long stiletto shaped nails have a glossy bubblegum pink color, and I am drawn to the fact that there is an elegance to their simplicity. Yes, I love intricate nail art, but I also appreciate variety including solid hues.

It was a much better day today since I was home and had power, and I got to watch an exciting hockey game :) I don't need big fancy things to be happy, just the opportunity to relax and focus on something positive. I hope you are all enjoying your day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

More Gifts From The Gacha Life

Hiya everyone! Tonight's post features more group gifts found at The Gacha Life, whose group is free to join and has offerings from most of the designers at the event. I showed you a few in my last post, as well as a gacha prize or two, and there were still plenty of gifts left to fill a second post :) I was impressed by the selection here, but that is not unusual for this particular event. I wish you the best of luck playing the gachas, that you win the prizes you desire, and have fun claiming all these generous group gifts.

I got quite a kick out of the first gift I am showing you this evening, the Grumble-Sleeveless Tee-Done Adulting. In case you can't read it, the front says "I'm done adulting, let's be mermaids" with a mermaid tail beneath. After the past few months, I agree!! The gift includes sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies. I paired it with my favorite marketplace freebie jeans from Delizio, a full fatpack (I am wearing the blue here) of colors in system/BOM layers plus appliers for Maitreya and Omega. 

This daring swimsuit is our gift from AnaSTyle called Arshe Green, and the bright color really highlights the high cut legs that lead to the thong style in the ear. It comes in standard mesh sizing as well as Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine sizes. 

If the previous photo inspired you to plan a visit to a beach, why stop at just one swimsuit when you can also claim this flirty bikini? It is our group gift from *Sexy Style* called ANIMAL Bikini Red, a string bikini in a delightful zebra print. The top and bottom are each provided in Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizing.

Next we ramp up the seduction factor with the ZFG gift called TRACI. This one-piece outfit is comprised of several belts, a leather thong, and a slender chain connecting from the collar all the way down. The gift includes Freya, Isis, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh body sizes. I feel like this is well suited for intimate roleplay or private time with that special someone.

For my final look of the evening, we have the generous group gift from GIULIADESIGN called VIOLA06. As you can see, there is a lot to appreciate here, with accessories and even footwear included. The top, skirt, and boots each come in Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizing, and the gift also includes matching earrings and necklace to complete your outfit. Part of me wants to wear those kickass boots everywhere!

It was another quiet day here, and I have been working my way through the Womenstuff hunt path with Xan's help. Next I will either help him with the Menstuff, or perhaps another gridwide hunt to explore as there are several possibilities each month. There is always something to do in SL though, like finding our own adventures in sims we have never visited or just relaxing and doing some 7 Seas fishing wherever there are custom items. The weather has definitely decided that summer is here, even if the calendar is not quite there yet, so I am grateful for my ceiling fan and have my (overgrown) hair pulled back in a loose ponytail. I hope you're all having a pleasant day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
