Hiya everyone! Tonight I am sharing gifts found at the Golden region at the Holiday Shop & Hop, one of 18 regions where 360 amazing designers have stores set up with special discounted sales and a gift for everyone. As usual, the FabFree crew has worked very hard to create and maintain a spreadsheet of the gifts, which can be sorted by the tabs on the bottom. I'm deeply grateful and impressed by their dedication, and it's so useful if (like Xan) you are only looking for male gifts or want to find out where a certain brand is and what their gift is, for example. The creators work so hard too, decorating their booths for the holidays and picking out special items to put there for sale :) Remember, I do what I do because I'm so in awe of the designers and their generosity, and enjoy being able to share with others. We've got plenty of time left to visit S&H before it closes on the 4th of January, but then again is there ever enough time with the holidays looming to do all the things we wish? ;)
For my first look I am feeling cozy yet flirty in our L+B PBR Cranberry Yoga Set from Lapointe + Bastchild. The tank top and leggings are each provided in sizes for Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, and Reborn mesh bodies. That knit pattern really caught my eye, and the back of the tank top is nicely vented for a steamy session of hot yoga :) There is a notecard enclosed reminding us that a viewer with PBR ability is required to see the texture, so I figured it was worth mentioning even before you claim your gift, just in case. I use the most recent Firestorm release, which is why I am able to see and share it :)
The May24 - Eva Dress is a lovely gift with plunging neckline, peaked shoulders, and pinstripes to flatter our every curve. There are Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Legacy, Perky, Lara X, and Reborn mesh body sizes provided, as well as a HUD with 5 colors for us to choose from. They're all terrific, so deciding on your favorite might be the most challenging part here ;)
This is certainly the time of year where we see lots of great shades of red, like on this gorgeous On A Lark gift called *OAL* Sheryl ~ Berry. We've got a flattering draped bodice that highlights the cleavage, and a halter neckline that is one of my classic favorites. The dress fits Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, and Reborn mesh bodies, and includes a HUD with both textures shown above. The solid might be a shade darker than the patterned version, or it could be an optical illusion because of the contrast of the deeper design, but either way I am a big fan of both options.
I've combined two gifts here for one playful and festive look :) The Bold Llama T-Shirt Co. LLALLALLAMA Tee made me giggle, which is not unusual for their consistently clever and amusing designs, and what better way to honor their animal symbol? I'm very fond of llamas and alpacas, although I've only ever had the pleasure of meeting an alpaca so far. The top comes in standard mesh sizes as well as eBody Classic, eBody Reborn, Waifu, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP mesh bodies, all on an unpacker HUD so just deliver the one you need. Then I added our ::FTCOR:::THAIS_XMAS_LEGGINS::: FATPACK gift, immediately playing with their texture HUD which has 20 seasonal patterns for us. The leggings fit Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh bodies, and I am wearing Lara X so I just had to alpha a bit of the bum and thigh areas to make the Maitreya size fit like a glove.
My final look this evening also made me laugh, so naturally I had to share the MALified & ZED - Santa BackPack gift :) Santa is resembling a muppet to me here, and that is not a bad thing by any means. The bright red backpack comes in Legacy Male and Lara X sizes each for strapless tops or strapped, as well as a resize male version and resize female version. The clear window on Santa's belly shows some candy bars, so I guess we're toting around some sweet treats in our new knapsack. I did play with the HUD for those leggings again to show off a couple more texture too, like I was not kidding when I've said before that I cannot seem to resist touching ALL the buttons.
It's been a decent day, particularly with the good news that we found someone to excavate our driveway from all the snow ;) The housemate contacted a few people from Nextdoor and one of them was here two hours later, plowing and shoveling at a decent price. Whew! So we're not snowed in anymore, and I tried to find the official snowfall but the best guess I found was 7.5 - 8.8" which is a fair bit. I'll be going out on Wednesday instead of Tuesday because it'll be about 10 degrees warmer, and I'm hoping Trader Joe's has a nice cocoa mix I can pick up. Otherwise I am still up to my eyebrows in SL holiday stuff, lol, enjoying every bit of it even while feeling a tad bit overwhelmed at times. I want to show all of you everything all at once, which is simply not practical. I hope you're all having a wonderful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
