Shop and Hop Snowflake

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I thought I'd squeeze in a little more Holiday Shop & Hop while the event still has a few days to go. To refresh your memory, it is a special event with 12 beautifully decorated regions packed with talented designers, who are all offering discounted sales items and free gifts. Things wrap up (holiday gift pun intended) on the 2nd of January, so we have a few days remaining to explore and treat ourselves. I randomly chose the Snowflake region, so that is where all of tonight's featured gifts can be found, but I still recommend visiting all dozen of them if you haven't yet :) It is probably not terribly crowded there anymore, which is surely a plus.

My first look of the evening is the neve gift - merry 2021, a shirt and dress combination that comes in Freya, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya and Petite body sizes. There is also a handy HUD with 4 colors for the dress, 4 for the shirt, and 8 metals for the zipper, as well as the ability to hide/show the shirt. The dress textures are charming plaids, while the shirt beneath has coordinating solid colors for us to choose from. 

Another delightful dress can be found as the gift at the -Pixicat- display, their Miranda Dress - VelvetGreen. It is provided in sizes for Freya, Hourglass, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Flat, and Petite mesh bodies. There is also a very impressive HUD for our loose ribbon tie, with 82 textures which are a mix of solids and patterns, plus the option to show/hide the tie completely. I love the vibrant green fabric with subtle texture, and the colors you choose for the tie can affect whether it feels holiday themed or not.

I definitely got a smile from this next gift, the Xmas tease by JI which stands for Just Imagine. From the top down, we have a really fun reindeer headband which has red antlers, a touch of holly, and a glowing red nose as a nod to Rudolph. Then there is the dress itself, daringly bare back and plaid trimmed in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique. The matching boots are included too, to fit Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink feet. Wait until you see the adorable reindeer faces on the boots! ♥

Tachinni is offering a duo of outfits for us in their Miranda Jumpsuit gift. There is v1 snowflake as I am wearing on the left above, and the right side of my photo shows the v2 zebra version. Each is provided in sizes for eBody Reborn, Freya, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite bodies. The style is very flattering with the strapless sweetheart neckline and patterned trim that matches the belt and cuffs. 

My final look this evening is one of several gifts tucked inside the gift box from [QE], this one being their Emme Sweater Dress -Holiday-. There are two versions of the sweater dress, one labeled fluffy which seems to be a slightly looser fit, and the long scarf, all of which come in Freya, Isis, Hourglass, Legacy, and Maitreya sizes. We can wear the sweater with or without the scarf, and even thought it is classified as a dress I just might wear some jeans or leggings beneath on a particularly cold winter day. Their other gifts include lingerie, a hoodie for the guys, and two rugs, so this is quite a generous treat!

The NHL is back from an extended holiday break, and I am watching my favorite team out west so it is 3 time zones behind. We aren't playing very well, probably from travel fatigue and from missing 5 players. Otherwise it was a quiet day, as my entire week should be, and I am trying to get some decent rest when I can. I hope you're all having a terrific day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
