Hiya everyone! Tonight I have a sampling of another Winter Shop and Hop sim's treats for you, the Gilded sim. This event is extraordinary, with 120 vendors filling 6 sims with discounted offers for you to celebrate the holidays. Just about all of them have free gifts in blue gift boxes with white lids, so be sure to give each of those a click while you are browsing these displays. Need some gifts for next week? Or just feel like treating yourself? Well this is the place!
Two tops to start the evening, on the left you see the evani. ANITA sweater [GIFT] found on the Gilded sim. It comes in a Maitreya rigged size and includes a HUD that lets you tint and show/hide the lace trim as well as turn the alpha mask off and on. On the right I am sporting the Rebel Gal gift called Fluffy Fox Sweater - Print 3. This comfy top is provided in Freya, Isis, and Maitreya sizes, with trees and flowers (poinsettias?) knit into its pattern. With both of these I am wearing the same Delizio jeans in white that I wore yesterday, a marketplace gift with plenty of colors in system layers, Maitreya and Omega appliers.
Don't let the chilly weather make you bundle up if you have a party or event to attend this season; instead slip into this gorgeous gift from Dead Dollz and create some heat! Their flirty Bebe Dress - Petroleum is sized for the Maitreya body and has an asymmetrical hem with slit on the right thigh, deep neckline and straps down and across the back. The gems you see dusted across it can be adjusted with the included HUD which offers 4 colors and some other settings you can experiment with.
This versatile look is our gift from Candy Kitten called Forever Yours, a single piece with fun layered appearance. It comes in Freya, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh body sizes, with a HUD offering 6 patterns for the dress, 5 color choices for the laces, 5 for the bra, 2 for the lace on the bra, and 2 for the trim. The best thing to do is start clicking until you come up with a combo you enjoy, then adjust as needed ;) Okay, I confess that is what I did.
RAMA went all out this season with their gift for us, their Seymour Sequin Dress FATPACK. It consists of Maitreya and Slink Physique sizes each in 14 different mainly gem-themed colors, an impressive array to be sure. They are champagne (seen on the right above), diamond, emerald, gold, jade, jet, onyx, peridot (left), rose quartz, ruby, sapphire, silver, tanzanite, and topaz. Whew! It reminded me of a friend who dated her now-husband for 7 years before they married, and for every occasion he bought her jewelry with a different gemstone so she had a wild collection of earrings, rings, necklaces, bracelets, I think even an anklet or two. He finished with the diamond engagement ring. Just think, in SL we can accomplish all that with a HUD, hehe.
Speaking of the versatility of HUDs, this fantastic set is the Pretty Deceased gift called Scherry Outfit. It is comprised of the fur, thong, bra in 3 patterns, and skirt in the same 3 patterns (foxy, snowy, and tartan) each in Maitreya and Legacy sizes. The HUDs are so impressive, each with plenty of features...the fur HUD has 6 color choices for the pearls and you can adjust the glow, while the thong HUD (labeled top HUD) has 6 colors to choose from. The skirt's HUD has 5 sizes and 5 colors for the puff dangling from the chain belt, 9 tag quotes plus on/off for the tag, an on/off for each of the 2 chains (labeled A and B) and 6 chain metals for each individually. Get creative and have fun with this one, these HUDs will let you customize this look to suit your personal tastes.
I am still emotionally overwhelmed from the hockey game I watched, not just because we won but because so much was done to honor and support our player who is facing a cancer battle. It was our first home game since his diagnosis, so his fans got to show him how much we care and are behind him. My favorite player was back from his concussion and helped lift the team's spirits, as he is an energetic playmaker, and it just felt good to see them looking out for each other. Meanwhile I am working on plans for the next week or so, and it is a challenge but will be worth the effort. How does the time fly by so quickly this time of year? Please take time whenever you can to indulge in some self-care, remember you can't help anyone else have a good time if you are overly stressed. I hope you're all having a beautiful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Hiya everyone! Tonight I have more gifts from Uber and their 5th anniversary round to show you. There are so many gifts from almost all the participating designers, and you can cam over to the main sim from their two cam shopping sims (Harajuku and Daze Retreat) if the main sim is still full. I claimed all of these gifts from one of those alternate sims, so I am proof it can be done :) This is a very popular event each month, so I am pleased but not surprised that it lasted 5 years and expect it to continue for many more. All of tonight's clothing selections are tops, so I paired them all with my favorite Delizio jeans that are a marketplace gift in several colors, system layers plus appliers for Maitreya and Omega.
My first look holds a few different gifts, since with so many choices they do combine well :) The top on the left is from [[ Masoom ]] called Flora Top Coral, with adorable ruffles in the front and in sizes for Freya, Hourglass, and Maitreya. On the right I am enjoying the RIOT gift called Isla Crop Tee, which has a gathered knot and fun print. It comes in sizes for Freya, Isis, Maitreya, and Legendary. If you have been eyeing up my charming choker, that is our gift from RAMA called College Bae Bow Choker 'FATPACK'. The choker has a built in resize script when you click it, and there is a HUD included with 20 rope colors and 8 metals.
If you enjoy the drama of a black and white pattern like I do, be sure to claim this Lele Top Dogtooth from Emery. It is provided in sizes for Freya, Isis, Maitreya, and Physique, and has a unique style. Instead of a necklace, I chose to accessorize this with the gift from *Vanilla Bae* called Babe Bellychain. This treat has the word Babe on the back, and comes in Freya, Hourglass, Maitreya, and Legacy sizes with a HUD offering 7 metal options.
Uniwaii is offering double the gifts, with two versions of their *UW - Tuen top. On the left is the BlackJean version, RedJean is to the right, and each come in a single Maitreya size. There is a HUD provided with each that lets you choose from 6 colors for the undershirt layered beneath, so there is versatility too. I love the bold belt that is built into each, and the cuffed sleeves for extra pizzazz.
Another top that offers considerable versatility is this lovely Neve - Flick Top - All Colors. It starts with the tube top in Freya, Isis, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizes, and continues with a fantastic HUD that offers 16 texture choices (12 solid, 4 print) as well as the option for lace as the ruffle at the bottom. Yes is how it appears on the left, clicking no gives us a solid and slightly longer ruffle as you can see on the right. Both options have the gathered middle in the front with lacing to hold it together.
One final look of the evening, this is another generous gift with a handy HUD to turn a single shirt into a fabulous fatpack :) It's our gift from Baiastice called Lily Mini Top - All Colors, and includes sizes for Freya, Isis, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and Legacy. The HUD has 15 choices - 5 solid, 5 patterns, and 5 lace. The patterns are pretty florals, and the lace is revealingly sheer which is why you are seeing it from the back/side rather than head-on ;) I am enjoying the flirty style, which looks great no matter what you choose from that texture HUD.
It has been a long evening already, and I am 'enjoying' the pungent scent of a skunk somehow drifting through my closed windows. Sometimes it gets strong enough to make my eyes water, I'm guessing when more than one little stinker is involved. How can such a beautiful creature make such a terrible smell? Whew! Tomorrow I have an appointment and farmers market to go to so it will be pretty hectic, and then the next few days are my normal type of busy. I haven't been sleeping very well, so I might be a bit zombie-like. I hope you're all having a wonderful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
