Hiya everyone! Tonight it's time to start exploring the 2024 Holiday Shop & Hop event, and I'm thrilled as always :) There are 320 stores taking part in this round, 20 per region so 16 regions (sims) to explore. Each participant is offering discounted merchandise and a gift for free to all, many of which are gift cards or store credit. FabFree has once again put in the hard work to compile a spreadsheet for us as a guide, with pictures of the gifts and sortable by region, type, or store name alphabetically so you can find all the store credits or a specific store very easily. I find it easiest to keep the gifts sorted in my inventory by region, and all of tonight's looks can be found on the Frosted region.
My first look tonight is the flirty Faida - Udane Xmas Special gift. This black slip dress is trimmed in matching black lace, and has slits on the front and back of each thigh. It is provided in sizing for Khara, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. It's tempting to wear as a nightie too, depending on the mood.
I couldn't resist sharing the Noel Sequin Dress (Gift) by Madame Noir and their matching Noel Sequin Stole either :) The strapless mini dress has a cinched waist so you may need to use the enclosed alpha layer, and it has been designed for Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Lara X, Reborn, and Waifu bodies. The stole has the same pattern as the skirt of the dress, and its sizes include Legacy, Lara X, and Reborn bodies. There is a HUD for the stole to turn the sparkles and materials on and off, so we get a bit of customization so it can accommodate our PC and our viewer's settings better.
I really enjoyed my visit to the Tea Lane display, and it was a great place to find several generous free gifts that can be mixed and matched together. The ~TL~ Turkey Girl Cropped Tee is a fun short sleeved knit top in sizing for Gen X Classic, Khara, Kupra, Kups, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Lara X, Prima Busty, Prima Petite, Reborn, Waifu, and Senra Jamie mesh bodies. Then I added their ~TL~ Turkey Girl BoM Skinny Jeans gift, which includes two different system clothing layers of these slim fitting jeans with front and back pockets. Other gifts include leggings with the same pattern, a hoodie, a hat with hair, and even some poses to help you show them all off and take photos. I'm curious how many of you usually have a turkey for the Christmas holidays? My family always does turkey for Thanksgiving, seafood (feast of the 7 fishes) for Christmas eve, then homemade pizza the next day :) We also used to do a huge ham for New Year's Day, but that tradition fell by the wayside over time.
I kept the Tea Lane jeans on and changed into a different shirt, The Annex - Daddy Tshirt duo. They have black and white versions with the same Santa image above the word "Daddy", each in Lara X, Legacy, Reborn, and Waifu mesh body sizes. The tees are designed to be a little bit baggy for a playful and casual feeling.
My final look of the night is perfect if you need something formal and are still in your Barbie pink era as I always will be :) The .:{Sofia}:. Danielle Gown Dress. Pink is a gorgeous satin gown with pearl-studded halter strap and a full circular train layer over the figure hugging main skirt. It's just irresistible, and the satiny sheen has me feeling like a total diva. There are sizes for Erika, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh bodies.
It was a busy and odd sort of day, leaving me feeling a bit drained. The planned outing did not happen, but I've got a couple of future appointments in the books and a totally unrelated doctor sent a message that I have an appointment the morning after Christmas. Nope, that is not okay, and before I could respond I got another message in the patient portal that it was canceled due to staff clerical error. No kidding, lol, although I am not mad because they remedied the mistake promptly without me even having to point it out. I do need to go back to her soon now that a test result came in, but I'll choose my own date and time. This time of year is exhausting enough without extra appointments sprinkled in. I hope you're all having a wonderful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
