Frosted Shop and Hop

 Hiya everyone! Tonight it's time to visit the Frosted region of SL23B Shop & Hop, one of 16 moderate (and 6 adult) areas in this shopping extravaganza to celebrate Second Life turning 23. We've just a few days left now, until the 19th, to visit all these regions and scoop up hundreds of gifts :) Every designer has discounted offers for us too, so we can save money while checking out old favorite designers or meeting new ones. These rounds always make me happy, and the Golden Age of Hollywood theme has made for some amazing creativity both in the merchandise they sell and the booths they have designed for us to visit.


My first look this evening is our Luova // Mary // Dress // Fatpack gift, with strong Marilyn vibes that I am loving. We receive sizes for Lara X, Petite X, Legacy, Perky, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies, along with a HUD to tint and color to our heart's content. The default color is shown on the left above, as I tried to tint it white several times but came up with this intriguing gray-green hue. I chose the baby blue button for the right and got a deep almost navy color, very elegant just like our halter style and full tea length skirt.


I switched gears to a casual and cozy look here, thanks to the ALANTORI - Luna Outfit FATPACK gift. The one-piece mesh ensemble is a slightly cropped hoodie, sleek pants, and matching mid-height boots with cute kitten heel. We receive plenty of color versions like the Bucci I'm wearing on the left and Flower on the right (others are black, brown, champagne, olive, pink, purple, and white) that are each packaged individually. They fit Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Peach, and Reborn mesh bodies with ease. I appreciate being able to get dressed in a jiffy, as sometimes I am in a hurry to get somewhere fun  and just don't have time to sift through all this inventory ;)


This gorgeous gown is our HizNherz Passion Gown and Heels gift, and you can tell from the name that this store caters to both guys and gals so there is in fact a male gift also. This texture is incredible, with animated shine that spirals its way around us and just looks magical. Our gown comes in Lara X, Petite X, Legacy, Perky, and Reborn sizes, with compatible sizing for the heels. That sash wrapped around the hips and draped down the left side is an impressive detail, and I can't wait to wear it somewhere worthy :)


Next I changed into the POISON ROUGE Lala Top Magenta gift, because we always need pretty tops :) The color is dreamy, and I adore halter styles that tie at the nape of the neck like this. Our gift includes sizing for Lara X, Legacy, and Reborn mesh bodies, and I'm wearing it with the white Delizio jeans from their fatpack that is free on the marketplace. It'll go wonderfully with your favorite skirts, pants, or shorts too I'm sure. 


Occasionally I wind up ending my evening topless I guess, LOL, but it is the best way to share T H E  C R O W - GIFT Wings Tattoo BOM you see above. There are dark and soft versions included, and it is a subtle distinction as I am wearing dark on the left and soft to the right. What's your first thought when seeing these wings? I couldn't decide if mine was angel or bird, but other possibilities like butterflies, fairies, and dragons came to mind as well. I really like having the same image on the front and the back like this, as it flows wonderfully with the body's natural lines and curves. 

My day was busy from a gaming standpoint, since Paleo Pines had a huge update with 20 new colors for the dinosaurs among many new or improved features. That's 3 games that I routinely play each day now (not counting SL as a game) and it can get time consuming. Still extremely fun, but sometimes it is hard to find time for everything I want to do. Otherwise I am still waiting for my glasses to be ready to pick up, with a sense of dread because that means I can schedule the consult for the cataract surgeries. If I miss a day posting, that means I was at Target optical instead, LOL, and didn't have time to take pics and notes for a blog post ;) I hope you're all having a terrific day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
