Hiya everyone! There are plenty of prizes left from the African Summer Hunt for me to share with you, so grab a beverage of your choice (I am enjoying an iced decaf Starbucks white chocolate mocha) and please join me on our continued journey through this hunt.
This eye-catching ensemble is prize #22 from Nocturnal Needs, and the name Wild One is truly fitting, isn't it? :) It includes the top and skirt in standard mesh sizes, along with the sexy boots for default avatar feet and the system layer thigh high stockings.
Here we have another enticing outfit, this time from Kelli Kreations. Its name is Animalistic and you get the top and pants in standard mesh sizes each. I love that fringe with the tiny beads tied to it, so fun! I accessorized the outfit with our prize from #16 BoWillow, the African Safari Sunglasses which are included in zebra, leopard and giraffe. I've shown the other two patterns in the inset, and the bows on each pair remind me of Hello Kitty so that gave me an extra smile. They have resize scripts built in so you can adjust as needed.
I decided to borrow the shirt from the previous photo (the Kelli Creations prize's top) to show off the great pants from {D.o.R.k.} which is prize #25 in the hunt. These wonderful jeans come with a HUD that offers 8 colors for the pants and 16 belt textures. I felt like this deserved a rear view so you can see the detailing on the seams, as well as a back look at that top to see that the fringe has a sexy gap there as well. I am going to have a great time pairing these jeans with all sorts of tops, all year round!
I know I generally stick to clothing and accessories on this blog, but sometimes household decor derserves a glimpse as well. I am wearing the stunning African Princess Sun outfit from Emerald Couture, #34 in the hunt, and posing next to the gift from Sickly SWEET (#03 in the hunt) called Frame Set - African. The photos are all joined in one piece, so moving or adjusting their placement on your wall is a cinch. I think I landed in their neighbor store Wicked, so if you see clothing instead of furnishings just head outside and you'll see the store nearby.
Nail note of the night: same HUD from La Boheme as last night, one of their 2 designs in their $1L prize from the Around The Grid Hunt which runs until the end of September. With these outfits, [LB TigerTips] actually makes the perfect neutral to match them all.
Tuesdays can be rather bland sometimes, still towards the beginning of the week and not generally a big day for plans. One of many fantastic things about SL though is that you can find your own fun, and do just about anything your imagination can dream up. I hope you're all having an enjoyable day/evening, magical magpie hugs to each of you :)

Hiya everyone! I hope your Monday was a decent one, and that you are ready to take a virtual vacation through the wilds of the African Summer Hunt :) I have some amazing prizes to share with you, so let's get to it!
Every great outfit deserves great accessories, so I have paired up two different prizes here with terrific results. The skirt and top are our prize from #11 Kitty Shape Wears, and each come in standard mesh sizes. The skirt has some fantastic details like the belt and chains. The necklace and sunglasses are both part of the prize from Never Ever, who have generously provided both sunglasses and necklace each for men and women with different styling for each.
The prize from Kitties Petite Dreams is a classic style dress with system layers and flexi skirt, but while I was putting it on I couldn't help but notice even though they don't reference it at all, that the outfit without the skirt actually makes a very cute bathing suit! So I decided to show you both possibilities. This is prize #21 in the hunt.
I love this fun and cheerful tunic from #17 Bees Heaven, with its pretty layered look and the cute giraffes image on it. Also in their prize is a matching v-neck tee for the men, since they certainly deserve gifts too. I added the prize from Redrose Jewellry #08, which includes the necklace, earrings, and bracelet you see here. There is also a men's necklace, not shown, so the guys can enjoy this one as well.
Our last look of the evening is this vibrant dress from Get Frocked, who are #19 in this hunt. The colors are so striking, and then to turn around and see that fun cutout in the back really made me smile! The mesh is very shapely, and comes in standard sizes. I definitely look ready to ride off into the sunset to a fun party.
Nail note of the night: I am showing again one of the two prize HUDs from the $1L Around The Grid Hunt from La Boheme, this one being called [LB TigerTips]. That single linden gets you these pretty nails in various French manicure base shades with the tiger print at the tips, along with the [LB RegalPeacock] design in 10 colors which I've blogged before as well. The subtle animal print of this one seems to work well with all the outfits tonight :)
Well, time to give yourself an "I survived Monday!" pat on the back, and find yourself a treat in SL to make yourself smile, whether it's a free treasure or a bit of a splurge. You deserve it! Magical magpie hugs to each of you!!

Hiya everyone! I am off to a late start tonight but I am excited to be able to share some prizes from the African Summer Hunt that started the 15th and only runs until the end of the month. With close to 50 stops, there are plenty of fantastic gifts to be found, and a lot of exotic animal prints :) Let's take a few peeks...
This skybox I've moved to has a rooftop swimming pool instead of next to the house like my last place, and it seemed like the perfect spot to show you this gorgeous swimsuit from Fi's Creations. They are #01 in the hunt and the organizers, and their prize is a well crafted one piece suit in standard mesh sizes with a plunging neckline but full bottom coverage in the rear so it isn't too showy for a family beach. The little tied sash adds the perfect touch, and the print is just right for summer.
Basta has provided a generous gift of not just one but three sexy animal print shirts, each with sheer sleeves and a cute cropped style. The opening in the front is mimicked by the slit in the back, a bit of a peek-a-boo style if you will. The shirt is called Safarion and comes in leopard, tiger, and zebra as shown, each in the usual mesh sizes. This is hunt prize #04 and a great find.
Mishmash Fusion has a sexy and playful gift for us if we find their prize #09, the Mauled outfit. As you can see, it comes in a clean version and a bloody one, along with the matching shoes for Slink high feet. This could prove useful in some sort of roleplay where you wish to appear injured, be it from a wilderness struggle or a zombie battle or anything your imagination can cook up. It is definitely a fun find!
Now I slipped back into the clean version before posing here with my new friends because I didn't want the sight of that blood to scare them off. My gentle giraffe companions are part of the oasis that is prize #10 from LEP (Love Everlasting PlantPets). It has a few sitting animations built in, and is indicated as having an 11 by 11 footprint and 25 land impact. The lush tree on the right and the foliage on the back left are a part of it, really beautiful and could be a useful part of your summer decor.
Nail note of the night: I went with a classic Marketplace freebie I've blogged before, (AB) Reila with a rich variety of solid colors and French tipped solids. Proof that practical doesn't have to be boring, this HUD is a very well loved part of my inventory.
It's been a busy weekend here, and tomorrow is busy but distinctly less fun as it includes a dentist visit. Not exactly an exciting day, hehe, but they aren't all sunshine and rainbows. I do hope you all had a good weekend and found reasons to smile, and I send magical magpie hugs to each of you!!

Hiya everyone! I found a very sweet little hunt to do, and yes I am giggling at my own pun there since it is called the Ice Cream Social Hunt :) There are just 8 stops in the hunt, so it won't even take you very long to find all the delicious looking chocolate ice cream cones and enjoy the prizes inside.
I have a confession to make about these beautiful bows...they each have a script for an open mouth pose inside, so I made a copy and edited each to remove the script because I felt like I looked as though I had some wicked brain freeze ;) They are our hunt prize from #3 Decora Doll, and the adorable bikini is from SWIVEL! who are #4 in the hunt. It comes in standard mesh sizes, and I couldn't resist showing you a closer look at the pattern on it with those charming little cuties on it. You know I'm a big fan of details!
Prize #6 from AccessoriZe contains this uniquely styled shirt in black and white, in system layers as shown along with MultiHUD appliers for each color. As for my sweet mouthie, that is our prize from #7 FreakyDesign and there is a popsicle in my mouth with a key, ice cream cone, and another popsicle dangling from it. So playful!
I am cringing inside a tiny bit from showing myself like this, hehe, but it's all in good fun and I'm pretty sure I adjusted the whipped cream well enough ;) This is part of prize #5 from Chained Heat, and includes the system layer top and bottom "2nd helping" shown (along with Omega and Maitreya appliers) and the toppings in 3 flavors: chocolate cherry and strawberries n cream shown, and whip cream (plain) not shown. There is even a mesh bikini bottom included but not shown, called Just Dessert.
The final photo for this post has three prizes in it, each with a fun ice cream tone. The sleepshirt is from Grumble, #8 in the hunt, and includes standard mesh sizes. Such a pretty shade of blue and it looks so soft and snuggly! The earrings are prize #1 from Kawaii Couture, appropriately named Triple Scoop. If you need even more ice cream (can we ever have enough, especially in SL with no calories?) then prize #2 from Sherbert should put a smile on your face. The ice cream cone has an adorable face with bunny ears and hair (I'm gonna tell myself it's cotton candy LOL) and a built in hold pose as shown on the left.
There is plenty of sweetness to be found in this hunt, along with a touch of spice from the one store ;) My nail note of the night is that I am using the previously blogged La Boheme RoyalPeacock HUD from the Around the Grid in 80 days hunt, which runs until the end of September so if you didn't snag this yet and have a spare $1L then you have plenty of time to get there and grab this amazing bargain which includes two different Slink HUD designs for fingers and toes.
I hope you're all having a lovely weekend, magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Hiya everyone! I decided a good day to celebrate the weekend would be with a combination of freebies and a dollarbie, midnight manias and lucky boards, no set theme other than having fun :)
First we have a lucky board prize from [*.::&Y::.*] that is perfect for relaxing, accessorized by another one of their lucky board prizes. This Autumn Tunic Outfit is one piece mesh, in several sizes, so finding the right fit should be easy. The bracelets are their very lovely Arabesque Bangles which come in left and right versions each of silver and champagne gold.
This adorable dress is from Sin Original, a free gift with no group needed. Just head on over to their store and you'll find it along with a HUD for the nails that I'm sporting in this post, 2 Slink manicures for free. So that's two separate gifts available to all! The dress comes with a texture HUD by the way, 3 color themes of this jazzy paisley print, and how cute is that bow in the back?
Another sweet little number that is great for a weekend is this Midnight Mania prize from Precious Designs. The name is *PD* Hollaback Girl, and it includes a HUD with 5 different color choices, of which I am showing just 2. I love how the gem on that attached brooch changes as well, very nice touch.
My last treasure for the night is a $1L hunt prize from Miss Jewell, part of the Marry Me Hunt. While it is technically a wedding gown, I think you could easily get away with wearing it as a fancy gown for a visit to a formal event, without it having to be a wedding. I love the delicate golden pattern and the pearl buttons at the hem.
I'm sad over the imminent closing of one of my favorite places to shop and find fantastic lucky boards, Kiyomizu Mall (yes, like the seasonal Ninja Cat hunts I'd blogged before as well) which is part of Little Cat Resort. The Bon Odori festival I'd blogged recently is also theirs. They notified the store owners who rented from them just a couple days ago, and many of the stores have been emptied already but a few are having brief sales until they close up. Tomorrow is probably the last day, and I am surprised at how upset I feel. Most of all I hope the sudden closure of several sims doesn't mean that something bad happened to the owners, I find myself a bit worried along with the sadness. One bright spot I'm holding onto is that I found many wonderful designers from the years I'd visited Kiyomizu Mall, for example [*.::&Y::.*] from the first photo is one I first discovered there but I can (and will) still visit their main store.
Since I don't want to go out on a down note, I will wrap this up by saying that I hope you all have a beautiful weekend planned, whether that means going out on the town or on a quick vacation, or maybe just binge-watching your favorite show with some yummy takeout. Whatever makes your weekend you, and makes you happy :) Magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Hiya everyone! I had an urge to explore the Marketplace to see what I could find there for free, and I'd have to say it was a fairly successful exploration :) Let's have a look at some of the goodies I found...
This adorable outfit is two separate listings on Marketplace, but since they're both still free that isn't a problem at all. The store is called Online, and our top is Mesh Lady Bug Red while our skirt is Mesh Red Mini Skirt. The print with its cute polka dots is definitely reminiscent of a ladybug, and it's a nice punch of color. The frills on the top and the pockets on the skirt are such playful details, and either could be paired with anything else to dress things up or down.
The hat included with this dress made me think of a French maid costume at first, hehe, but I do quite like it and the dress looks beautiful with or without the hat. This great find is called Doreen dress 02 in blue, and I see a lot of green too which makes it remind me of the ocean. You get the usual standard mesh sizes in this gift, plus 3 sizes of the hat.
For something a bit edgier, we have this hoodie dress in a wild leopard print with terrific neon colors from Catnip Loveotomy, a store that is well worth visiting on the marketplace for dozens of freebies! Look at the fun details, like the pockets and rivets, love them. The armwarmers are separate so you can wear the dress with or without, and there is an alpha layer for them as well as a specific alpha for each mesh dress size. You probably noticed that my Slink hands' thumbs aren't quite through the thumb holes built into the armwarmers, my guess is that they were meant for standard avatar hands and it's possible that a different style/pose hands might work better. I didn't really mind though :)
This is a different style dress offered for free by Catnip Loveotomy, in various colors just like the above dress, and instead of gloves this cutie comes with wings. The dress is called Angelia, comes in standard mesh sizes, and the wings come in pink (shown), black, sky, white and yellow which are fairly subtle as you can see. Those sweet little chibi wings would go wonderfully with a wide variety of other outfits as well.
I'm still feeling sassy, as my final photo for the night demonstrates :) This dress is a free find from Sand Glam called Jessie, and the black and white photos are a creative contrast to the bright purple and the pops of red in the images. I'm really enjoying the style as well as the design.
Nail note of the night: I went with yet another Marketplace freebie, a Hello Dave gift simply called Free Demo Palette. It works with Slink and Omega, and has 5 widely varied styles so you can see if the new HUD works for you.
I hope everyone is having a beautiful day/evening, magical magpie hugs to each of you!!

Hiya everyone! Today I have a variety of goodies to share, from Midnight Manias and Mini Manias along with some lucky chair prizes. Plenty of free treats await!
Everyone needs a favorite pair of pajamas, and this Midnight Mania prize from Nerdy Girl could wind up being your next favorite! Their midnight mania boards change each day, so your best bet is to visit often. I wasn't sure you'd be able to see the Tardis design on the pants well enough so I put an inset of a closer view. The pants are in standard mesh sizes, and the tank top is system layers in short (shown) and regular which is just a bit longer but still shows off a sliver of belly.
I can't decide if this sexy number is for going out on the town, or staying inside with a special someone :) This is a Midnight Mania prize from blah.BLAH.blah, and there are 3 Midnight Manias there that change quite often. You will need to join the free group to click them, and don't forget to check the 5 lucky boards which do not need a group tag for you to be a winner. This outfit is called Charlies Angel and comes with a HUD to change the colors to a solid black or a solid tan in addition to the pink trimmed black I am showing above. With all these buckles and the provocative handcuffs at the belt, this will help you earn a second glance for sure!
A mini mania provided me with this delightful jumper from Wicked, called Marni in Teal. There's a terrific HUD included for 24 belt options, which is 12 colors in 2 textures each. This color is fantastic, and the style is so flattering.
This outfit is comprised of a Mini Mania prize from Wicked and a Midnight Mania skirt from Dumb Blond, so a fun combination! Our top is the Dahlia Vest in Camel, and includes an amazing HUD with 20 different shirt colors, 6 metal colors (buckle and clamp at end of belt) and 6 belt colors. I changed each from left to right so you could see just how much difference experimenting with the HUD can make :) The skirt is called Kiki Skirt in Black, and the plaid is so eye-catching. Both prizes come in standard mesh sizes.
Let's wrap up with a Marketplace free find, shall we? This lovely dress is from Gifts Home and has a beautiful silky texture. It only comes in one size, but it seemed to fit just fine :) My necklace is a lucky chair prize from Chaos Panic & Disorder, called One Heart Necklace. You will find in the box both left and right halves, male and female versions of each, so you can wear whatever strikes your fancy.
Nail note of the night: I won a lovely Slink HUD from the mini mania at Pathos, called Penelope. Lots of pretty pastel colors with a floral design on them, it is a sweet and feminine collection. If you haven't been there yet, please be sure to click the Mini Mania on the main floor and the Midnight Mania board upstairs!
I hope you're all having a beautiful day/evening, magical magpie hugs to each of you!!
