Gifts from Off-Line

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we are headed to "Off-Line" to claim several generous group gifts. Their store group is currently free to join, and the gifts start from the moment we walk in the front door :) There is a gift on the left as soon as you enter, then head to the main desk and veer right to the group gifts wall. I also spotted some even further right near some steps, so you can see they are amazingly generous to their group members. There are male, female, and unisex treats awaiting so be sure to share this information with all your friends who may be interested. I am focusing on female fashions in this post but there are also accessories that might tempt you.

My first look of the evening is the "Off-Line" x "Vidhor" Colection/Fatpack, a full outfit that will definitely turn heads. The top, skirt, and boots are each provided in Freya, Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh body sizes, with a HUD to select from 20 colors for each. I love the ability to mix and match, don't you? This is the group gift by the main entrance, as soon as you walk in just look left to find it.

I also mentioned gifts over by the stairs, well this look is one of them :) It's called "Off-Line" x "Lilo" Dress/Fatpack, and fits Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh bodies. The provided HUD offers 20 solid colors as well as 20 hues of bandana print and 20 camo prints. The crossed halter style has mostly bare midriff, and the skirt is gathered on one side with long strings dangling down past our knee. Very alluring!

I paired two different gifts from the main Group Gifts wall here, and I am really digging the combination! The top is the "Off-Line" x "Super" Crop Top & Bra (FATPACK), with both pieces included in sizing for Freya, Hourglass, Legacy, Perky, and Maitreya mesh bodies. There is also a HUD with 15 colors for each, with 4 having a saying across the top. The panties are our "Off-Line" x "Kylie" Panties/FATPACK group gift, with unpacker HUDs for Freya, Hourglass, Legacy, and Maitreya bodies. Each of these delivers 11 different textured pairs, some solid colors and a few patterns for variety. They are designed as a revealing thong style. 

The "Kylie" Panties came in handy here too, this time paired with our "Off-Line" x Venus- "Millennial" Halter (FATPACK) group gift. The belly-baring top will fit Freya, Hourglass, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh bodies, and includes a 22-texture HUD with lots of solid colors and 7 with sayings like "angel" and "babygirl" as seen above. I randomly chose the giraffe print panties on the left and the snakeskin on the right, as I do enjoy a nice print that honors our animal friends.

For my final look this evening, I slipped into two of the 8 different color varieties of the charming "Off-Line" x "Kylie" Bodysuit/FATPACK gift. There are unpacker HUDs for Freya, Hourglass, Legacy, and Maitreya bodies, each of which contains the nude and orange versions shown here, along with black, blue, clay, pink, red, and white versions. They all have the same curvy seams and attached black belt, very flattering for any size and shape.

It was another decent day with more holiday planning progress, so that is helpful for the nerves. I hope you're all having a lovely day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Because I'm Happy

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I have some gifts to share from the Happy Event, who are celebrating their 2nd anniversary this round which is open until the 28th of November. They have a group that is free to join, and nearly every participating designer has a golden gift box waiting to be clicked with the group tag active so you can receive a treat :) There was one in a different type of package set for sale for $0L, and a couple were set to the wrong group (hopefully fixed soon) but overall there are a few dozen generous gifts waiting for us here, so naturally I am pleased and thankful to be able to share.

My first look of the evening is the beautiful RosenRot - Lena Dress - 7. This vibrant purple mini dress has a halter neckline that crosses in the front, showing skin both front and back while wrapping us in satin. There are Erika, Legacy, Maitreya, and Petite mesh body sizes included in this thoughtful gift. 

Another irresistible gift is the Lena Top & Skirt with Color HUD from Zola Design. Each piece is created to fit the Maitreya mesh body, and the HUD offers 6 colors for each so we can mix and match. The lacing on the front of the top mimics that on the waist of our skirt, and I love how the top is loosely held to allow one shoulder to slide down in a flirty way. 

Zola Design's skirt also goes well with the gift from *Shining* which is their Infinity Top. It is tied just at the bottom for a playful peek of cleavage, and has a fun circular pattern in pink and white on a black background. This gift includes sizes for Kalhene, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh bodies. 

Next Door has a lovely treat for us too, their Vicki Black Rose Top & Skirt gift. The top, skirt, and belt will each fit Freya, eBody Reborn, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite bodies, and we also receive a HUD with 6 textures for the belt. I chose contrasts to the black and white coloring of our fabric, but there are also ones that match and even a sparkly diamond type option that looks beautiful too. If you're simply not feeling the belt or are not in the mood to make a decision with the HUD, you can always wear the top and skirt without the belt since the rear view will turn heads just as well on its own :) Those slender crossed straps are a style that always catches my attention!

My final look tonight is courtesy of Carol's Store, and is called Cecile Mini Dress Lilac. Such a stunning color, and the sheer lace panels on the side add flirtatious flavor (try saying that a few times quickly LOL) just like the triangular opening of the bodice. There are sizes for Erika, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Momma, Reborn, and Reborn Juicy Boobs included for a wide range of mesh bodies. 

My Thanksgiving planning is moving along a bit, as both cousins replied with info on what food they are bringing, well one is providing a dish but the other is not. This way my mom and I can make sure that the basics are covered, and we ordered a couple of side dishes to save a little time cooking everything. My neuropathy really interferes with any ability to cook, between pain and numbness in both hands and extreme temperature sensitivity, so I would much rather let a pro handle things when the cost is reasonable. The sudden numbness makes me drop things at times, so handling knives or very hot things can be a bad idea. I am really looking forward to getting together with family, so that keeps me positive. I hope you're all having a terrific day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Gifts for SLFO Group

 Hiya everyone! Tonight's post explores just a few of the many SLFO group gifts that are currently available to its members. The initials stand for SL Frees & Offers, and the group is free to join with lots of participating designers who can send notices to let us know about new releases, sales, etc. as well as providing group gifts in their stores. It can be tricky to keep up with all the designers we enjoy when we have limited group slots, so these multi-designer groups can be especially handy for that aspect. I am grateful for the bonus of the gifts of course, as it gives an extra reason to visit and see what each designer is offering these days :)

My first look tonight comes from HORL and is their lovely Hadassa Dress. It comes in sizes for Freya, Hourglass, and Maitreya mesh bodies, featuring a shiny texture (materials enabled I believe) and suspenders that cross in the back, and of course the neckline creating a choker look in the front for wonderful details. The sheer red skirt layer looks great above the black base skirt, doesn't it?

If you are a fan of plaid, be sure to visit Hilly Haalan to grab their [hh] Jannie Dress which is one of 4 gifts currently available for SLFO! They are very generous to their store group too, as you can tell by the gifts being in an entire separate building :) This treat is a gathered wrap dress with sweetheart neckline and full sleeves but very short hemline, all in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique body sizes. There is also a HUD with 10 intriguing color combinations for our plaids, a pattern I find myself becoming more fond of lately after years of Catholic school uniform flashbacks making me want to avoid it. It is a classic for sure, and you might find some colors speak to you more than others.

The Brunsen Couture - Lacone Sexy Dress Red Retro really lives up to its name, with revealing cutouts on the bodice that lead around to the back and a very brief hem. There are Freya, Hourglass, Legacy, Maitreya, and Petite sizes included, and I am a fan of the deep color that almost leans burgundy for a romantic feeling. I couldn't resist the ruffles either :)

Next we head to Saussi to claim their SLFO gift, called ::SS:: Dress Lola (Blue). It really is a head-turner with halter neckline, bold openings, single long sleeve, and the skirt tied with long dangling strands of the same pretty blue fabric. There are panties built in, and the gift includes a HUD for them with 10 textures and an on/off option. The dress itself fits Erika, Kupra, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh bodies. 

My final look of the evening made me think of a modern take on the post-makeover Sandy in Grease! This is the V8 Underground (formerly Brii Underground) gift for us called **NAIA URBAN STYLE COMPLET OUTFIT**, and is fully loaded as the vast majority of their creations are :) The jacket and jeans each come in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizes, with studded ankle boots in Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink high sizing. We also receive the tattoos in system/BOM layers and an Omega applier, as well as earrings, bracelets, hand chains, and neck chains (several layered necklaces combined) that all have resize scripts built in so we can adjust these to fit just right. The details always impress me, like the crosses that are found from head to toe thanks to the earrings all the way down to the boots, and the way the jeans have chaps layered atop so they are not your basic everyday style. 

I had a much-needed quiet day, which helped my anxiety so I am feeling much better :) I hope you're all having a fantastic day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

How To Look Fan-Tastic

Hiya everyone! Tonight we take a look at what happens when you get lucky at Tastic. They have several lucky boards upstairs (10 for men and 10 for women) that are one of the many benefits of their free group's membership. There are also midnight mania boards up there, and of course there are group gifts at the foot of the stairs so you don't even have to wait on your initial to show up for those :) It is important to note that the lucky boards have "?" wild cards that anyone can click to win, so if you see that question mark it is just as good as your actual initial. I have been a fan of Tastic for quite some time, so I always enjoy stopping by to see what is new there.

My first look this evening is the Tastic-Teena Dress which is one of the many generous lucky board prizes. It comes in sizes for Altamura, eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP bodies, with a 12 texture HUD for lots of versatility. I really like the wide range of colors in the patterns!

This adorable prize is the Tastic-Kitty Purr Set Mint, whose color and sweet cat drawings both caught my eye. The top and panties will fit Altamura, eBody, Freya, Isis, Hourglass, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Tonic Curvy, Tonic Fine, and Tonic Minim mesh bodies. The panties are cut low in the front but not quite a thong in the rear, and the top has a high neck and asymmetrical hem that is lifted on one side. 

I kept the purr panties on here to show off another prize, the Tastic-Cute Cactus Top with Hud. It is provided in sizing for Freya, Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn mesh bodies. We also receive an 8 color HUD so we can choose our background hue, all of which look terrific with that precious cactus! Part of why I chose to wear the purr panties with this shirt is the fact that the mint color matches the cactus so well, but it's also just a flirty little look :) I don't think cacti actually purr, but maybe this one could?

My next look features one of my favorite colors, decorated with a favorite symbol ♥. The Tastic-Lizzy Set Purple Hearts prize is a lovely pairing of short sleeved top and panties each in Erika, Freya, Hourglass, Kupra, Kups, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn mesh body sizes. The brief cropped top has slender strands that wrap around the waist and tie in the front, and the panties have a fun slanted trim style. 

For my final look this evening, I changed into the Tastic-Kelly Silk Jumpsuit Red lucky board prize. This treat includes classic M and fitmesh M sizes for classic avatars, as well as sizing for Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, Tonic Fine, and Voluptuous mesh bodies. The satiny stripes on the legs and rear are fun touches, and of course the bare back that goes so well with the plunging opening beneath the halter neckline in front. 

It was a frazzle kind of day, thanks to my body overreacting to stress of being in a car for more than a few minutes. I got an errand done and my appointment for my feet went well, but my stomach is still uneasy several hours later from the car ride. The panic attacks were relatively minor compared to some I've had in my lifetime, but still enough to wish I were anywhere but a moving vehicle. At least I don't have to go out again until Friday and that's just a few blocks, so I have time to unwind. I hope you're all having a pleasant day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

More Treats From Vezzo Ink

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I am sharing the second half of the Free Dove Caring Hands Hunt for November, which are several exclusive tattoo designs from Vezzo Ink. The first half from yesterday were hidden at The Free Dove and need their "Blessed by a Dove" group tag to claim, but tonight's body art will be found inside the same black long stemmed roses at the Vezzo Ink mainstore. We need the Vezzo Ink's group tag to claim these, also free to join so still no cost to you for these wonderful tattoos. The store is two buildings with multiple floors each, so you will wind up using the teleport pads to visit all the various departments and explore to locate these fun prizes. I'm wearing the same lingerie set from the marketplace as I did in the previous post, to cover the essentials while showing off these tantalizing tattoos.

My first look of the evening is the Vezzo Ink - Suzanna prize, a stunning tattoo in black and white versions with Blessed on the left collarbone area and flowers across front and back, plus intricate forearm artwork. There are system/BOM layers along with appliers for Legacy, Belleza, Maitreya, Omega, and Signature mesh bodies provided, in opacities of 50%, 75%, and 100%. I am wearing the 100% in black on the left and white on the right, in hopes that they photograph clearer that way :)

Vezzo Ink - Viola is very aptly named since that could be a viola instrument that the skeleton is playing on the front torso. There is a powerful musical theme to this artwork, and I am loving it! This prize consists of 50%, 75%, and 100% opacity options in system/BOM layers as well as appliers for Legacy, Belleza, Maitreya, Omega, and Signature bodies. 

If you'd like a spooky new friend for your leg, be sure to find the Vezzo Ink - Snakie prize! It reminded me of the Dark Mark, except this snake emerges from the forehead instead of the skull's mouth. This prize includes the same 3 opacities in the same formats (BOM, appliers) as the others you've seen so far, with artwork appearing only on the front and back of our left leg. 

This striking look is the Vezzo Ink - Sea Signs prize, which is designed for Evo X heads and has BOM layers in 50%, 75%, and 100% opacities. There are fish on one temple, sea turtles on the other, a very pretty shell between the brows, a starfish on the chin, and some aquatic life on the neck as well so there is plenty to see and appreciate :) Their facial tattoos seem to be designed for hairstyles with shaved hair at least on the sides, as the ink is hiding behind this style a bit. I still think it looks amazing!

My final look this evening is another creative facial tattoo set called Vezzo Ink - Cat Cat. It is provided in BOM layers for Evo X heads in 50%, 75%, and 100% opacity versions, and I had a great time admiring all the details here. The cats are playing on our temple and neck, and how sweet is the heartbeat line on our right cheekbone with a paw print in the middle? Being allergic to cats in RL, I appreciate any opportunity in SL to admire these beautiful creatures. That definitely includes wearing clothing or tattoos with their images on them :)

My weekend was a good one, and the week ahead will be somewhat busy starting with a podiatrist appointment tomorrow. The weather looks to be clear but very chilly this coming week, so no more short sleeves for me I guess ;) I hope you all enjoyed your weekend and are having a lovely day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Vezzo Ink at The Free Dove

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we are exploring the November mini hunt at The Free Dove, which is a wonderful array of tattoos from Vezzo Ink. They have black long stemmed roses hiding for us to find, with 5 prizes at The Free Dove and another 5 at their mainstore. Tonight's are all from The Free Dove location, and I suggest looking high and low, very carefully all around the building, with your "Blessed by a Dove" group tag active. This is how you can claim these treats for free, in addition to the many free gifts that are already available here with that very same tag :) The Free Dove has been a consistent source of top quality gifts for years now (since 2005) and I am always grateful for everything I find there ♥. I did find a rose that didn't work when I clicked it, but there was another rose out with the same prize (I edited and checked contents) so don't worry if you find that one, you won't miss out if you find all the others too.

I feel like I should start with the clothing and then dive into the tattoos...the bra and panties are a free gift I found on the marketplace from Sweet! since I wanted to show as much (tattooed) skin as possible without displaying more private parts :) They are system/BOM layers so they will work for classic avatars or any BOM compatible mesh body which these days should be the vast majority. Now for the ink...I am wearing the Vezzo Ink - Sanna tattoo here in black, 100% opacity. The prize includes BOM layers and Legacy appliers in black and white, each in 50%, 75%, or 100% opacity so you can select how fresh or faded your body art looks. I tend to wear them at their darkest for photos so you can see the fine details better. There are top and bottom sections you can wear separately, so the back of the thighs are one part and the arms and torso are another. So beautiful!

The dramatic Vezzo Ink - Mao is modeled in the vendor image on a male avatar, but as you can see that did not stop me from wanting to show it off too :) It has intricate designs across the chest, trailed down the left side and down the back, with full sleeves on both arms that extend to where the fingers meet the hands. All this is included as system/BOM layers and appliers for Legacy and Signature, in opacities of 50%, 75%, and 100% which is the darkness I'm wearing. You really should zoom in close and take a good look at this when you find and wear it, the details are spectacular.

My next look features a prize that is similar to the first one I shared, the Vezzo Ink - Ella tattoo set. I say it's similar not because of the artwork specifically, but because it has a top and bottom section and there are tattoos on the back of each thigh (okay those are quite similar LOL) and they are both provided in black or white versions. Each comes in a system/BOM layer and appliers for Legacy and Signature, with 50%, 75%, and 100% opacity options. My skin tone is very fair and doesn't really provide enough contrast for the white tattoos to 'pop', as you can see on the left, but it does have a delicate beauty of its own that way. The ink on the hands reminds me of a loose bracelet trailing down the back of the palm, and the forearms have a dangling chandelier effect too :) The snake on the back has a few sparkles around it, so naturally my brain went to Slytherin. 

I also found the black rose that holds the lovely Vezzo Ink - Neck Flower prize, a bold red rose surrounded by bright green leaves. It is provided in system/BOM layers that are designed for Evo X mesh heads, in 50%, 75%, and 100% opacities. I'm wearing it as 100%, but I did try it in the others and really liked the almost vintage appearance in a softer intensity. 

Why should our bodies have all the fun when our faces can be decorated too? :) My final look tonight is the Vezzo Ink - Blessed tattoo, designed for Evo X compatible heads and in system/BOM layers. There are the usual opacity options (50%, 75%, 100%) and there are a few tiny designs on each cheekbone and between the eyebrows, as well as something on each side of the neck. I included a closer view of the bird in flight from the right side of my neck, but the clovers and word "Blessed" were mostly hidden in my hair on the left side of the neck. I wonder if it was intentional that the designer chose a prize named Blessed to go with the Blessed by a Dove group tag? If so I love it, and if not I love the coincidence!

Well it certainly did not feel like a Friday to me, but I'm grateful that it really truly is. I had a quiet and rainy day, and I am excited that the rain will be gone for a few hours before the farmers market visit for a safer journey. The rain will return in the evening though, thanks to the storm systems making their way up the coast. I hope you all have a beautiful weekend, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Gifts from UpNext

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I found lots of terrific gifts at the NextUp Event, which is a replacement for gachas where we can tell which items are being purchased instead of completely random. These machines show the next 3 numbers and names, so there are no surprises or buying things you do not want/need. Their event group is free to join, and nearly every designer has a large gift box (most black with different colored ribbons) in front of their display that you can click to receive your free gift. I really enjoyed my visit and hope that you will too!

My first look this evening comes from [C.Y<3Fashion] and is their *HALLOWEEN 2022* DRESS GIFT. There are 5 versions that each fit Freya, Hourglass, Maitreya, and Tonic Curvy mesh bodies. I'm wearing Black&Red on the left above, and Skeleton on the right, with our other varieties being Orange Cemetery, Skull, and White Blood. They are ready for a late Halloween feeling, or perhaps year-round Goth :)

Next I changed into the playful .:: L.F ::. Camila Dress gift from Luxury Fashion. We receive sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique bodies, along with a HUD that offers 10 textures for the dress and 6 colors for the belt. The dress choices are a mix of solids and patterns, so you get plenty of variety. I'm thinking this is just short enough to layer a pair of jeans or leggings beneath for a chilly autumn or winter evening too. 

This charming t-shirt dress is the {Belissima} Khloe Dress 1 gift, also yours for free with that NextUp group tag. It comes in Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP mesh body sizing, and has "L♥VE" on the front with a cute gourd to its left. This is another dress that could also double as a long tunic top, just by adding some leggings or pants underneath. I am thinking about the chilly weather ahead, as it's getting cold here in RL.

The *So Pink!* - Dress Irina Fat Pack is another fantastic gift you do not want to miss! In sizes for eBody Reborn, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite bodies, we can wear it in a wide range of color combinations thanks to its HUDs. There is one for the top and one for the skirt, with each offering the same 10 colors. Mixing and matching is so much fun!

KEY STYLE is also still in the mood for Halloween it seems, as their treat for us is their Sweet Witch outfit. It includes the dress and boots seen here, each in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizes. There are also a hat and a broom with built in flying pose that are provided but not shown here. Purple and cobwebs can definitely work for your dark side, no matter what time of year it is, right? :)

I don't usually do a 6th photo, but I simply couldn't narrow down the gifts I wanted to share and miss out on any of the ones seen here! This final beauty is the AnaSTyle - Era Gray gift, a daringly designed dress with front and back cutouts and draped slits on each thigh. Even the back of the skirt has a high opening, so your luscious legs get lots of exposure! This gift is provided in sizing for Freya, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies. What a treat!

It was an unusual day since my Friday dinner with my parents was shifted to Thursday, but I did find out a little more about Thanksgiving plans. They are preordering a smoked turkey tomorrow, and apparently my grandmother's oven actually does work so that will make things a lot easier. We are still waiting to find out what other people are bringing before deciding what I will bring to avoid duplication, but we still have a bit of time. Trying to accommodate so many dietary restrictions and preferences is a challenge, but that's family for ya ;) The weather is going to be rough tomorrow, although it looks like it will clear up just in time for the farmers market Saturday morning. I hope you're all having a lovely day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
