Valentine Shop & Hop

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I have some treats to show you from the Valentine Shop & Hop, and you probably know by now that all of the Shop & Hop events make me a very happy magpie :) Linden Lab brings together scores of fantastic designers, this time 280 spread over 14 regions, each offering discounted sales items and a gift (or more than one!) for us to enjoy. There are always stores that are new to me, and some I haven't visited in a while so it can be an adventure too. The event is open until the 19th, but with so many Valentine themed offers and gifts it does make sense to try to get there sooner if you can. I generally start at one location and loop around that whole region then move onto the next as they form a continuous rectangular loop. I keep the gifts sorted by region, so all of tonight's are from Sugarplum.


For my first look of the evening, we see the gorgeous .:{CW}:. Solstice Pearl Gown - Dove from Celestinas Weddings. I'm not sure if the name refers to Dove of Free Dove, or the soft dove grey color, but either way I am a fan :) There are Freya, Isis, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizes included in this lovely gift, notable for its deep V neck, open sides beneath the arms, and mermaid skirt with slight train. With the lace overlay and pearl trim on the bodice, this actually would make a very nice wedding dress if you were so inclined ♥.


Another stunning gift can be found at the UNA. booth, and it's called Sang Gift. We receive sizes for eBody, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite mesh bodies in this gift, which has a smooth satiny texture and a fun opening in the back. Like many of these gifts, one of the first words that comes to mind is 'romantic'. 


Maybe your tastes are running more casual this week, after all a Monday is almost upon us...if so, slip on into the UNICORN - JOICE SET. There are red and black versions of the top, shorts, and sandals, each to fit Freya and Maitreya mesh bodies. The tank top and tied shorts might be intended as pajamas, but that wouldn't stop me from wearing them in public, perhaps with different footwear?


{ViSion} has a wonderful gift for us, their Hailey Top & Denim Skirt. There is an unpacker HUD for each with the various sizes - Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn - so you can click to deliver just the size you want without filling your inventory with ones you don't need. The top comes with a HUD offering 36 colors for the lace trim, while the skirt's HUD has 37 hues each for zipper and hearts (the zipper pulls, front and back) and 6 colors for the built in panties. The zipper colors also tint the rivets on the pocket, for even more versatility. 


My final look tonight is the Naiomi Valentine Romper gift from [WellMade], a very familiar favorite store :) This strapless short romper fits eBody Reborn, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite mesh bodies, with a 3 color HUD. The color not shown is red, also very appropriate for this time of year. Our pattern has plenty of sweet words written upon it, like love, valentine, heart, even I ♥ you. All that and it flatters our bum perfectly which is the inspiration for what we know as the shape of a heart. 

It was a quiet and chilly weekend, but not a bad one :) I watched the NHL All-Star skills competition and the game, which took place in Florida so it was very heavily themed for the locale. My week ahead looks somewhat warmer and not too busy, just a blood draw on whichever day works out the best. No fasting is needed which makes it so much easier, less planning and rearranging meds. I hope you all had a beautiful weekend and are enjoying your day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
