Hiya everyone! Tonight I'm inviting you to the HW Winterland event from ACCESS, where the ACCESS group (free to join) will let you claim lots of generous gifts from stockings hanging at most of the displays. If you're amazed that I'm still finding more and more events with holiday gifts to share, LOL, I would say that A) so am I, yet B) that speaks highly of the generosity of SL's designers. I'd even add a C), buckle up because I'm still finding new ones somehow!
My first look is the Dernier: "Nathalia" Dress - FATPACK. This sleek and generous gift has a cinched waist that means we need to add the provided alpha layer, and there are 15 colors and 4 gloss levels to choose from on the HUD. Our mini halter dress with the crossed straps will fit Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh bodies.
Honestly, my jaw dropped when I tried on our LEROY - Blair Dress v2 - Red Dahlia gift! Look at that shine, and those sweet pinstripes that accentuate our curves :) There are sizes for Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh bodies. I feel like the vibrant red hue is terrific for Christmas, but will also come in handy once February rolls around and brings us Valentine's Day. No laughing, time is flying so fast lately that it really will be here before we know it ;)
This stunning look is our Asteria"Claven" HW Winterland GIFT. Its flirty top and pencil skirt are each designed for Classic, Curvy, Freya, Isis, Hourglass, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, Waifu, and Senra Jamie mesh bodies. We also receive a metals HUD with 4 choices. The openings in the top do mean that pasties would be handy for wearing this certain places, to keep things strictly G-rated :)
Our [Brior] Akari Knit Sweater - HW WINTERLAND gift gives me such a cozy and warm feeling, which I particularly needed this weekend :) The cropped red sweater has pale gold seasonal designs like baubles, candy canes, and wrapped presents, and goes surprisingly well with the skirt from the prior gift I shared above. Of course, we all have tons of other options in our inventories to pair it with, so have fun deciding! There are sizes for Kupra, Lara X, Legacy, Peach, and Reborn mesh bodies included in our lovely gift.
My final look of the evening is our cleverly crafted cherry // Yuni Dress & Belt #8 gift. The design of the bodice is simply amazing, and our lace-edged sleeves are attached by the most slender of straps for a playful feeling. The dress and belt are separate pieces, in sizing for Lara X, Legacy, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. I'm still trying to decide what to call this pretty color...pale red, deep coral? I love it and really need a lip gloss in RL of this shade :)
Oh my goodness, let me start by apologizing for the delay on this post, which would normally have been Friday night and I usually take Saturday evening off. However, a nasty storm system whipped through here on Friday and knocked out the power, and the generator decided to kick the bucket. Did I mention how freaking cold it is too? So I went to dinner at my parents' a few hours after the power outage started, and wound up spending the night. Yes I had to pop back home to pack some things in the dark and cold, lol, but it was worth it to be warm and safe. My parents are very kind, and I am incredibly grateful to them for taking me in again as they did over the summer when the AC conked out. The power company didn't expect to have things restored until 11PM tonight, like a couple of hours ago, but fortunately they got things handled before noon :) So after letting the house warm up (47 degrees in this room was too bleeping cold!) slowly, I got some more rest and am now able to post these photos I took in the wee hours of Friday morning. I'm also struggling to not be angry with the housemate in whose name everything is related to the generator and who dropped the ball several times on getting it repaired, but that negativity would just harm my own mental health so I must let it go. Elsa was right ;) I have so much more that I wanted to share around Christmas and simply had to switch my 'night off' instead of taking an extra, especially when every time I think I am aware of all the potential events, SL says "hold my beer - with built in Bento pose". *deep breaths* I hope you are all having a magnificent weekend, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
