Hilly Haalan Group Gifts

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we are visiting Hilly Haalan, a store with an entire building dedicated to group gifts. Their group is free to join, and you will find a couple of gifts at the landing zone before you head into the building labeled GIFTS. The designer is very generous and has a few years' worth of gifts still available, so if this is your first visit here you can still claim all the treats you may have missed. Meanwhile there are gifts for other groups too, multi-designer ones like FabFree, but I am focusing tonight on the store's own group and those gifts. 


My first look is the gorgeous [hh] GROUP GIFT Magnolia Gown. This gilded mermaid style gown comes in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizes. It has a built in belt that subtly enhances the waist, in the same shimmery satin fabric. 


My next look is a pair of outfits, the [hh] GIFT Ruffled Jumpsuit which comes in red and black versions. Each is provided in a classic M for classic avatars, plus sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine bodies. The floral pattern looks great on both color backgrounds, and the style is suitable for any weather. 


For an edgy yet ultra feminine look, I suggest the [hh] GIFT Alaya Suspender Dress and Heels. The dress has a lacy layer over the skirt and a choker-like strap at the neck, lots of great details in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizing. The strappy heels are also included, in sizes for Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink high feet. It feels like something I would have worn as a teenage hair metal enthusiast, and yes that is a compliment :)


A fun choice for a chilly winter night is this [hh] GROUP GIFT Kara Dress, a sweater dress with surprisingly short hem and bared shoulders. It is included in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine bodies. There is also a HUD with 12 accent color choices, so it is versatile as well as alluring. 


For my final look of the evening, I chose the beautiful [hh] GROUP GIFT Blanche Dress. It is a striking rose gold color with delicate embroidery, and a golden belt attached that draws the eyes. It comes in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizing. I am a big fan of rose gold, but cannot wear it in RL because it blends into my skin tone which tells you how reddish my complexion really is. Clearly that is not a problem in SL though, so where should I wear this beauty first?

It was a quiet day here, other than the sounds of snow plows in the street and eventually the driveway. I meant more figuratively though, as I did not do anything unusual :) Well actually I did receive a belated birthday gift in the mail from a family friend, which turned out to be Tea Drops that I'd wishlisted quite some time ago. You boil water, put the tea cube into the cup, pour the water over it, and stir for a quick hot drink. Some are sweetened, some have no caffeine which is what I needed (citrus ginger was tonight's) and they have some neat flavors on their website. I had never had them before but they sounded delicious, and I am happy to say that they are :) They do leave a lot of sediment in the cup, because they are from real tea leaves, so I probably should have tried to done a tea leaf reading, LOL. I hope you're all having a wonderful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
