Shop and Hop Goes Golden

 Hiya everyone! Tonight it is time to visit the Golden sim/region, one of 8 that are part of the Valentine's Shop & Hop event. Many of your favorite designers (and perhaps future new favorites?) are offering discounted selections and free gifts, so it is a terrific way to save some lindens and prepare for the holiday. I always enjoy these Shop & Hop events, as you never know what surprises you will find and the regions are decorated beautifully for each season.

My first look is the [[Masoom]] Sakura Dress Gift, which comes in aqua and pink versions. Each is provided in Freya, Kupra, Legacy, Legacy Perky, Maitreya, and Maitreya Petite sizing, with wrap skirt and strapless style. Either ombre color is a great choice for a night out. 

Next I was delighted to try on the Tabitha Dress - Lips Red, which is our gift from 1313 Mockingbird Lane. It is included in Legacy, Maitreya, and Maitreya Petite sizes, with a 9 color HUD for the belt. The lips on the skirt are a fun detail for Valentine's, and the bold red shade is perfect. 

I combined two gifts here, so let's take it from the top which would be the UnderTONEs gift :) They are offering their BOMS SLB Cami Gift Bra for all visitors, and it comes in a system/BOM layer as the name implies. The snowy white color means it will go with nearly anything you decide to wear with it, and I think it looks especially cute with the adorsy - Shop and Hop Gift Pants. These low cut pants have strings to help hold them onto our hips, and are provided in Legacy and Maitreya sizing. There is a HUD included too, with 10 textures that feature plenty of Valentine's themed hearts and such, but you can wear most of the textures year-round.

Mangula was feeling extra generous, as they are offering us two wonderful gifts! This is their Zoe Set Gift which consists of the top, sleeves, and capris each in eBody Curvy, Freya, Hourglass, Legacy, and Maitreya sizing. The top can be worn with or without the poofy sleeves, and the capris fall just below the knee for a fun spring or autumn feeling. 

My final look of the evening is the other Mangula gift called Sexy and Chic - Set Gift. There are lots of components, all in the same sizing as the prior outfit's pieces, to be mixed and matched however you like. We receive the lacy black bralette, the fishnet sweater, cutoff jeans shorts with belt and chain, and wrap skirt with belt and chain. There are HUDs provided with the skirt and shorts, with 32 color choices for the belt and 6 metal tones. Imagine all the possibilities!

My appointment with my doctor went decently earlier, with the result being she prescribed a few things (medication and at-home treatments) and referred me to not one but two specialists for different minor surgical procedures. Both of those will have to wait because we have more snow rolling in, unless somehow one can sneak me in before Friday. The snow storm arrives Saturday evening, so at least there is a few days gap. The hockey game I was going to watch was postponed because of covid protocols, two players on the team are quarantined for possible exposure but are not infected as far as we know. This was always a possibility for this season since it is not in a bubble like last season's playoffs. Since this is starting to sound pretty dreary, I will wrap this up with a reassurance that I am trying to remain as positive as I can, and I have confidence that things will work out in the long run. I hope you're all having a lovely day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
