Hiya everyone! Tonight it's time to get our shop on, with the annual Holiday Shop & Hop event :) There are 18 regions filled with 360 stores, and a gift for everyone available at each stop. As usual, I'm sharing one region at a time and tonight it's the Dahlia that was randomly selected. I'm also going to suggest another tradition from the past several S&H rounds, the amazing FabFree spreadsheet that has all the info about these gifts and can be sorted by type, store name, etc. by the tabs on the bottom. I am so grateful to their team for keeping this going and helping us keep track of any gifts we may have missed, and it helps me to be able to tell Xan about the male or unisex gifts he might be interested in. The shopping party has been open for a few days and continues until the 4th of January.
My first look is the stunning Son'a-Edge Regal Festive Dress - Gift. It is a great choice for this time of year because of the colors, and it is extremely versatile as well. That's because there is a HUD that offers 16 gemstone colors (seen as white across the neckline on the left above) as well as on/off options for the glow, sequins, bright, sleeves, ruffles, sparkles, and light. The dress comes in sizes for Kupra, Lara X, Legacy, and Reborn mesh bodies. On the right I've switched off our sleeves and the sequins, and it almost looks like an entirely new dress :) Imagine turning off the ruffles too, which are our neck strap, and you'd have a strapless gown that is truly festive just as the name says.
Another glamorous gift is our .:{Sofia}:. Gift Raindrops Gown Dress. Gold. With its strapless embroidered bodice and full satin skirt, it glimmers with tiny beads dripping down the skirt to really catch our attention. We receive sizes for Erika, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Lara X, Legacy, and Reborn mesh bodies, along with a single size white fur jacket. It will look just as pretty if you slip out of the jacket when you arrive at your destination of course, just make sure your fans get a glimpse of you wearing it both ways ;)
Next we head in a more casual direction with the ***Ambrosia***Nordic Knit Dress gift. The name describes the texture quite well, and I'm loving the red and white combo for this time of year :) Our snug sweater dress fits Lara X, Legacy, and Reborn mesh bodies. The short hemline and short sleeves give it a less bundled up vibe, and a more flirtatious feeling.
WZRWRKS has a jaw-dropping tee for us called [WAZ] Scoop-Neck Crop Top as their gift for the event, and there is a (less busty LOL) shirt for the men as well. This cutie includes sizing for Lara X, Legacy, Reborn, and Waifu, with alpha layers in case parts of you decide not to stay inside the shirt. I did have two very specific little parts that made the alpha layer handy, and yes you are probably guessing correctly. I think the holiday decorations also really help make this a fun treat.
For my final look tonight, we have a closeup view of the Nives: Leya Bento Long Stiletto Mesh Nails 2K gift. If you like your manicure to be long and slender, and decorated for winter, these are the ones for you! There are sizes for BBL, Belleza, Belleza Gen X Curvy, eBody Reborn, Erika, Kupra/Kups, Legacy, Maitreya, and Slink hands; just use the body's HUD to hide its built in nails, and add the matching size from the folder. Voila, you have lovely new claws :) This made me think of a video I saw recently of a woman with similar nails whose cat was very slowly extending its claws and then slowly retracting them, trying to teach her how to put her talons away, LOL! Poor thing was so confused, probably wondering why its human was so bad at being a cat. My RL nails are nowhere near this long and rounded rather than pointy, but I do wonder if a cat would think I forgot how to retract them too now.
My anxiety made my outing fairly challenging, but I got to a store and back safely so I am counting it as a win. We went a back way which is bumpy and winding, so that was a big part of the problem. Taking the main roads home helped a little, although the traffic increased so that made it challenging too. I did pick out some treats to reward myself for getting there, lol, and I took a nap after dinner which was soothing. I'm so behind on Advent stuff now though, for the past few days I've just shoved them in a folder 'to sort' so that is a goal for the weekend if not sooner. Meanwhile I've got several more regions of S&H to visit, and other events and hunts, so I am a busy little magpie :) I hope you're all having a terrific day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
