Gifts for FabFree

Hiya everyone! Tonight on a whim, I decided to see what was new for the FabFree group and share some gifts with all of you. They are in the inworld presence of the incredible FabFree in SL blog, which brings us information everyday about sales, gifts, and special events happening across the grid. Many of their participating designers offer group gifts for the free group, so I chose a handful of those to show you in this post. 


My first look is the current gift from ~KaraBaby~ as of this afternoon, however it is called Fabfree Gift November 19 so it is possible that it will be changing soon. This gift includes sizes for eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies. The pattern really caught my eye, with adorable foxes playing among sunflowers and pumpkins. 


Next I visited Artizana, whose FabFree group gift is their Ahimsa IV Mesh Dress. It is actually worn as two separate pieces, the top and skirt, which are each provided in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizing. To claim this gift, please right click and "pay" one linden to the vendor, and you will be automatically refunded. As with all the gifts, make sure you have your FabFree group tag active and showing above your head.


Dream Couture is offering us this pretty Off Shoulder Dress with HUD, so we can choose from 7 colors for the woolen knit texture. The dress is fitted for the Maitreya mesh body, and has a loose style with tiny ruffled trim across the top.


I also claimed the gift from Paper.Sparrow, their White/Coral Lazy Days PJ set. There are other colors for various groups so be sure to see what other group tags you can switch to and pick up while you visit ;) The outfit is a single mesh piece that comes in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Ocacin, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh body sizing. The fabric looks so soft, and I like the button details of the top with the tie on the pants.


My final look this evening comes from Alias! and is called Oh Xmas Goodies. This gift includes the top and jeans each in standard mesh sizes plus Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine versions, with matching shoes for Belleza, Maitreya, Slink and Tonic feet. There is a HUD provided for the top that lets you choose from 12 seasonal textures, two of which you can see above. You can find this in the group gifts room when you arrive at the store.

I hope you're all having a wonderful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Designer Showcase

Hiya everyone! Tonight I have some gifts to share from the Designer Showcase, who are celebrating their 9th anniversary this round. It is open until January 28th, so you have a few weeks to visit and pick up some demos to do your shopping. While you're there, be sure to join their free group if you aren't already a member, and claim some anniversary gifts :) Those will be what I am showing you tonight, as you probably guessed, and I am quite pleased to do so. These are such talented designers, who are kindly helping us celebrate the event's anniversary with quality treats.


My first look comes from [WellMade] and is their chic Loren Dress with halter neckline and unique hem with slits and straps. The gift includes fitmesh standard sizes as well as eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Ocacin, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine versions, plus a terrific HUD with 20 color options. I even noticed that there is a black zipper pull on the back, a realistic touch in a neutral color to go with all 20 choices for the dress hues. 


This glamorous dress is the group gift from Entice called Ain't Misbehavin' - Lilac. It is provided in Freya, Hourglass, and Maitreya sizes, and really captivated me with the intricate silver embroidery as well as the gorgeous details in the back. The scalloped hemline is a fantastic touch too!


Celestina's Weddings is offering their Olivia Cocktel Dress Set/Lila as their gift for the Designer Showcase anniversary. It includes the dress with plunging neckline in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizes, plus the heels in Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink High sizes. There are even lovely chandelier earrings included in this generous gift to really highlight the shimmery texture.


Our gift from WILD Fashion is their Victoria Peplum Dress and Heels, and I must say that black and gold always look amazing together :) The dress comes in plenty of mesh sizes for everyone: 5 classic, 5 fitmesh, eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Ocacin, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Fine, and Tonic Curvy. The shoes include Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink High versions, and are a great match for the dress.


For my final look of the evening, I had some fun with the gift from CAZIMI called Moony Nail Appliers. They are offering HUDs for Belleza, Maitreya, Omega, and Slink, with 5 pearly pastel colors each accentuated by a cream colored moon at the cuticle. I personally like the idea of pastel colors for winter, maybe because they look pretty with white like snow.

My day worked out pretty well, not that having blood drawn is ever fun but at least the lab I go to has two very experienced nurses who are both excellent at their jobs. It doesn't even look bruised, so I am relieved about that. I got a decent nap after, and now here I am :) I hope you're all enjoying your day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

More Cosmopolitan Gifts

Hiya everyone! Tonight is a part two, as I have more gifts to share with you from the Cosmopolitan advent tree. You do need their free group tag active to claim these, then just give each stocking on the tree a click (they might deliver twice or more from what I noticed, so you may wind up having to delete some extras) to receive these wonderful gifts. Some are very Christmas themed, but there are plenty you can enjoy right now or year round regardless of season. I was very pleased and grateful to see that they left the tree up with these presents for this event round too, so you have until the 11th to stop by.


My first look combines two Advent gifts, starting with the top which is from [[ Masoom ]]. Their lovely Lexa Top - Blue comes in Freya, Isis, Hourglass, Physique, and Maitreya sizes, with a HUD that lets you pick from 11 colors for the metal rings on the harness. The pants I am wearing are another gift, this time from Adorsy and called Alyssa Pants Red. They are sized for the Maitreya body, and include a terrific HUD with 2 choices for the pants (both shown above) and 7 colors each for the belt and laces (trim between belt and pants). I got a kick out of the ombre of teal to red, colors you don't see together very often but they do look pretty together.


I kept the pants on but slipped into a different top here, the gift from [G-SHOT] called Romina Top. It features stars with spikes, and comes in eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Legacy, Maitreya, and Hourglass mesh body sizing. There is also a HUD with 24 colors for the top itself, and 12 for the spikes with the option of turning the spikes off and on. 


I got such a good laugh from this gift, the .BIRKA. New Year's Gift 2019. The high necked top says "Satan is my sugar daddy" which is what caused the chuckle (also wondering what my fairly religious mother would say if I wore this in RL near her, LOL) and those matching panties are also included. They are high cut but not a thong in the back, and each piece is designed for the Maitreya mesh body.


Perhaps you are craving an alluring dress that has a revealing side, well be sure to find the stocking that holds this AVALE gift called Megan - Red. The dress is included in Freya, Isis, Maitreya, Hourglass, and TMP sizes, all with a HUD that offers 8 color choices for the lace cups on the bust. They are certainly on the sheer side as you can see, so it is best to save this for those sims and events where you won't get in trouble for (almost) displaying a nipple or two ;) 


I have referenced SL vacations a few times recently, something I crave when the weather here gets chilly and I want my avi to enjoy some tropical fun. But what to wear? I have just the gift for you, the Nadja Set in Red from Seniha. There are two versions of the swimsuit and skirt each, solid and patterned, and you can mix and match them as I have above and slip out of the skirt and into an ocean or pool quite easily. Each piece comes in sizes for Freya, Isis, Hourglass, Legacy, and Maitreya bodies. 

It was a decent day, but it is snowing a little bit outside now, and I have to fast tonight for blood tests in the early afternoon. Those are always fun, right? ;) I will be fine though, bringing a little snack with me for the ride home and I might pick up some fruit juice after too. I don't usually drink juices, but tend to gravitate towards them after a blood draw. The rest of my week should be fine, I only have one other appointment that is later in the week and not a painful one. I hope you're all having a nice day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Cosmopolitan

Hiya everyone! Tonight we are heading to the Cosmopolitan event, where their current round (until the 11th of January) still has their Advent gifts available for all group members. The group is free to join, and there is a tree near the entrance that has dozens of stockings on it. Please click each stocking to receive your gifts :) I did notice that some of the stockings delivered the same gift multiple times, so you may find yourself sorting through some duplicates, but better to have too many than not enough. There is a notecard in the group notices with photos of most of these goodies, which can help you tell if you have found all the stockings on the tree. I was really excited that these presents are still available, since generally Advent season is behind us, so I am grateful for their thoughtfulness in giving us extra time.


My first look is a glitzy gown from POSIE, their Linda Asymmetric Dress GOLD. This gift includes sizes for Freya, Isis, Hourglass, and Maitreya mesh bodies, with a dramatic style baring one arm while fully covering the other. That hemline is remarkable too, isn't it? The metallic fabric made me think of Vegas for some reason :)


Keeping with the flirty feeling, this gift is from RUST REPUBLIC and is a tank top and panty set that is linked together to wear as one mesh piece. It comes in Legacy and Maitreya sizes, with a HUD that offers 5 texture choices for the panties. The pattern on the tank top is tiny pine trees, so it is a subtle nod to Christmas but I would still wear it whenever the mood strikes.


This daring dress comes from the Safira stocking, and is called Nata Advent Calendar. The dress and separate belt are each provided in sizes for Freya, Isis, Hourglass, and Maitreya bodies, with a HUD that lets you choose from 7 metal colors for the belt. The carved side slits are a lovely touch too, as is the draped low neckline.


Baetik is offering this festive set as their Advent gift, the Xmas Top and Panty. They are each provided in Freya, Hourglass, Legacy, and Maitreya sizing. There is teeny white trim and snowflakes on the top, while the panties have a green plaid texture that goes really well with the top.


Another seductive look comes from #AplBlossom&Seeds, their Ibiza Dress Christmas. It comes in Freya, Hourglass, Legacy, and Maitreya sizes, with beautiful embroidery surrounding a diamond shaped cutout on the belly. There is also lacing in the back to hold the top in place, and the dress itself is a sheer material so you may wish to layer some undies beneath it :) 

My day was long because I couldn't fall asleep at all before the morning farmers market, so instead I took a nap for a few hours when I got home. I watched a depressing hockey game tonight, and now I am pleased to be here working on this post and chatting with Xan ♥. Not a very exciting weekend I suppose, but I needed to unwind and I'm guessing many of you do too. I hope you're all having a fantastic weekend, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Emerald Couture Treats

Hiya everyone! Tonight I am starting the weekend by visiting just one store, Emerald Couture, where we can claim some wonderful group gifts and midnight mania gifts without spending a single linden :) Their group is free to join, and the group tag entitles you to several free gifts as well as access to the lucky chairs and midnight mania boards on two floors. If you land at the main entrance, turn right and right again for the VIP room, and there are more treats in the room immediately above (you can cam up to it if you wish) so don't forget to slap those midnight mania boards as well :) Several of tonight's looks are group gifts, but then I will wrap things up for the evening with a midnight mania prize so you can get an idea of what those are too.


First please say "howdy" to the EC Country Connie Group Gift. It consists of the charming dress in sizes for eBody Classic, eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Sofia, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh bodies. Also included are the matching cowgirl style boots, for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique. If your dress size is provided but not the exact shoe size, I would suggest using your body's HUD to hide your feet (or detach if they are separate) and try on the various sizes to see if one suits you.


You will notice that many of Emerald Couture's dresses and outfits come with matching footwear, and their EC Cotton Candy Party Dress group gift is a lovely example. The halter dress with ruffles and long ties is provided in 5 standard and 3 fitmesh classic sizes, plus versions for Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies. The matching ballet style flats come in Belleza, Slink, and TMP sizing. I was quite drawn to the fun colors of this outfit, and I do enjoy a flirty bow or two :)


Another frilly frock is the Emerald Couture group gift called EC I Love You Dress PINK. In sizes for Altamura, eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP, it features a formfitting style with dropped sleeves and a matching ruffled hem. You could save it for Valentine's Day, but I prefer to share the love year-round ♥.


Sometimes we just want to feel sexy, right ladies? Well this gift will certainly help boost our confidence in that respect (but I promise you are sexy just being YOU!). It is called EC Soraya Dress GG, and is an asymmetrical delight with its single shoulder strap and sheer panel wrapped around diagonally. The dress comes in sizes for eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine, all with a HUD that lets you choose from 4 textures. All have various patterns and contrasting coloring of the sheer section, monochromatic for extra pop. 


My final look of the evening can be won from one of the Midnight Mania boards, just be sure to get your friends to click it too (with the free group tag active) so it reaches its target number of clicks and is able to distribute this fantastic gift. It is called EC Chun Teal, and includes both the dress and shoes seen above. The sleeveless dress cinched with built-in belt comes in standard mesh sizes plus a fitmesh version for classic avatars, with sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique bodies. The intricate high heels are included in Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink sizing.

Whew, I am so ready for this weekend! My week consisted of 2 dental visits and my first visit to a new family doctor (mine left the practice and did not reappear elsewhere so I was stuck) which was this afternoon, so I am really tired of being poked and prodded. I am still trying to decide what I think of the new doctor, which probably tells you that it was neither great nor terrible. The practice is in turmoil after losing several people, so I do plan on giving him another chance but really expect to see an improvement like my prescriptions being written correctly which did not happen this time. As for my weekend, I have my usual farmers market visit and then a hockey game to watch Saturday evening, then a mostly relaxing day Sunday finally :) I hope you all have a wonderful weekend, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

More Kiyomizu Prizes

Hiya everyone! Tonight is another collection of hunt prizes from the Kiyomizu Winter 2019-2020 Hunt for you to enjoy. There were a few skirts as prizes, and usually I find a lot of tops with no bottoms so this presented a unique challenge for me :) I headed over to The Free Dove to see if there were any simple shirts that I could wear with the various skirts, and found a set of basic tees from Baby Monkey that were perfect for tonight. I also had fun with some pretty manicures, as you will see too. The hunt is open until the 7th, so you have a few days remaining to find these ninja kitties.

My first look features the hunt prize from KnightDecember which is simply called Maitreya Skirt. It is provided in a single size, and has a high waist with closures down the front that split open about halfway down. The subtle floral pattern is so pretty, and the color feels suitable for year round wear to me. My shirt is the Baby Monkey Baby Tees Basics in black, one of 10 colors that are provided as system/BOM layers and Omega appliers. 

I switched into the white Baby Monkey Baby Tee, which I felt was a better match for the prize from {Akorat} called Winter Skirt. It also comes in a single Maitreya size, and has a pretty combo of red and white as it flares out into a short ruffle. I really like the white stitching that appears to connect the two sections. 

Back in black, the Baby Monkey tee that I chose to wear with this skirt that is :) The prize is from Magnolia and is their Winter Skirt. It comes in a single size that is not labeled but did fit my Maitreya body quite well. The black and red plaid looks wonderful with the golden trim, and would look nice with so many different types of tops.

The designers taking part in this hunt do tend to favor the Maitreya brand, not just for its body but for the hands as well. This manicure is compatible with the Maitreya hands, and is our prize from KoCha called Nail Flower Christmas version. Just click the button on the applier and it automatically gives you this mix of two designs on the nails, both in red with lighter pink tips. They are creative and very nicely done :)

My final look of the evening is the hunt prize from <ooSiki> called Bento Nail // New Year 2020 Hunt. They are not appliers, but the nails themselves, so please use your Maitreya HUD to hide their built in nails (the square with the slash through it among the shape/length choices) and then add these. 2020 is the Year of the Rat, and if you look closely at the middle fingers there is a very cute rat on them :) The red, gold, and white colors are really fun for New Year's too, but doesn't need to be exclusively for it. 

It was a fairly quiet day here, since I don't really do anything special to celebrate New Year's Day anymore. Until about 10 years ago, my parents had always done a big ham dinner with friends and family, but it became difficult for everyone to attend and just fell by the wayside. I miss the chance to see everyone, but not all the rest of the fuss, so that leaves a peaceful day of relaxing I suppose. Tomorrow I have the appointment to get this stupid filling replaced for the 3rd time, so no post tomorrow night. Fingers crossed that this time the filling decides to stay where it belongs! I will be back posting the following evening, no idea yet what that will be so it will be a surprise for all of us ;) I hope you're all having a beautiful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Kiyomizu Winter Hunt

Hiya everyone! Tonight I am finally able to show you some prizes from the Kiyomizu Winter 2019-2020 Hunt, in which we are looking for ninja cats hiding in very mischievous ways. Some are flattened and tucked behind signs on walls, others are shrunk to tiny size and inside gacha machines or such, while still others can be spotted best by their tails sticking out from somewhere. I do not usually suggest this for hunts except this one, but I do actually recommend wireframe to find these tricky kitties. Give each one a click to receive your free gift :) I find the best way to start is to explore the shops at the Kiyomizu Mall for those in stores with hunt signs, then click a floating ghost (check the sidewalks between stores) for a personalized website that lets you see what URLs you still need to visit. The signs and cats are scripted to keep track of these things, which always impresses me as being efficient and accurate. 


My first look comes from the ninja kitty at Magiclo, their lovely .: MC :. Coat Suit. The coat and dress beneath are separate pieces, each fitted for the Maitreya body, so you can wear them together or individually if you wish. The layered look really works for this time of year.


This fun outfit can be claimed by finding the kitty at Shiorin's Mart. It is called =CS= Kiyomizu Hunt Prize 2019 Winter, and is also created for the Maitreya mesh body. The long sleeved bodysuit has a colorful and seasonal pattern, and the leg warmers with high heels (they are attached) have a HUD provided with 3 texture choices. Two are shown above, and the other is red and white stripes very similar to the one on the right. I appreciate the versatility :)


I feel cozy just looking at this wonderful prize from **milky-way, their *19-11 Fur Coat-Kiyomizu Hunt. It is made for the Maitreya mesh body (like many of these prizes) and features white fur cuffs and trim, a shapely A-line style, and even a hooded cape. 


SHOP KERO is offering this elegant Christmas Gown as their prize, so be sure to find that ninja cat to claim it :) The gown is provided in standard mesh sizes along with Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine versions, all with a HUD that offers multiple colors for each section. The slender sleeves and overskirt are one part, the main dress another, and the lacing in the back is the third. I must say, if you choose white for all of the sections this would be a fantastic wedding gown!


My final look this evening is the prize from MeltingDots Freebie Store, and is their Christmas Ensemble 2019. Never fear though, this outfit has enough color potential to be worn any time of year. The bolero and skirt each come in fitmesh standard sizes plus versions for eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine bodies. The shoes with built in thigh-high socks are in standard sizes as well as eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, and Tonic sizing. There is also a handy HUD included with 8 color choices in each of 2 patterns, plaid with or without golden snowflakes, and the HUD is especially simple to use as one click handles the top, skirt, bows, and shoes all at once.

Well, it is 2020 in my neck of the woods, so I would like to wish all of you a very Happy New Year :) Time really is flying by, and I am trying to be mindful to express my gratitude more to people in my life who deserve it. I am grateful to everyone who reads my blog, so thank you very much ♥. I skipped blogging last night because of my dentist appointment in the afternoon, and it did not go too well...that same filling that fell out twice a few months ago decided to pop out yet again while the hygienist was flossing near it. So I have to go back Thursday to have it redone, which means I am afraid I will be missing another blog post this week. I am sorry about it, but it simply cannot be helped. I have to be careful what I eat for a few days, which is not too bad. I hope you're all having a terrific day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
