Swank Winter Wonderland

Hiya everyone! Tonight I'd like to invite you to the last few days of the SWANK event and its Winter Wonderland round. It is open until the 30th, and if you join the free SWANK group you will be able to claim dozens and dozens of free gifts. I have been very impressed with this event and the generosity of the participating designers, and I want to mention that there are several gifts for men as well as the usual ladies' treats so everyone has a chance to find something new that they love. 

My first look of the evening is the gift from The Best Of Me called ::T.B.O.M.::X-Mas Mini Dress With Belt. The strapless mini is trimmed in lush white fur, and comes in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh body sizes. There is also a HUD provided with 3 texture choices, the two shown above and another seasonal beauty with a red background. 

Speaking of red, I love the vibrant shade of this Camille Dress - Red gift from Blackstone. It has a deep V neckline and leg-of-mutton style sleeves that are puffy at the top but close fitting from the elbow down. The gift includes sizes for Kupra, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh bodies, with a 4 metal HUD for the zipper in the rear. This classic look will look terrific any time of year!

If you need a casual look this winter, be sure to claim the ladies' gifts from Hawker's House. The *HH* Ladies Mesh Blocked Cable Sweater Powder Snowflake comes in 5 standard and 5 fitmesh sizes for classic avatars, as well as sizes for eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh bodies. Also packed inside is a box containing their Skinny Jeans Denim, in standard mesh sizes plus eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Ocacin, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine body sizing. That classic 5-pocket style will look great with just about any top :) Another generous gift of theirs is the *HH* Ladies Mesh KED Sneakers Snowmen I am also wearing here, which come in sizes for Belleza, Maitreya, Slink, and Tonic flat mesh feet along with classic unrigged versions. The pattern with various snowmen is a really fun touch. 

Next we go from casual to formal with the AnaSTyle - Evanescence Black1 Bare back gown gift. It really caught my eye with the golden line art against the stark black satin fabric, and the mermaid shape is a winner too :) This gift includes standard mesh sizes as well as Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP mesh body versions. It doesn't really need much in the way of accessories, but I would probably stick with simple gold pieces of jewelry if I added anything, and either black or gold heels. 

My final look this evening is one of several gifts from Brii Underground, this one being their **BIANCA V4 WINTER STYLE COMPLET OUTFIT**. We start with the cozy coat trimmed in fur and lace, in sizes for eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Ocacin, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh bodies. Then we continue with mid-calf slouch boots in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique. We can certainly use an alpha layer or body's HUD to hide feet that aren't fitting into one of those sizes though :) There is an Omega applier for the fishnet pantyhose I am wearing here too, as well as (not shown) an applier for makeup that was created for the Catwa head. 

Another holiday has come and gone, and I mostly enjoyed mine, as I hope you all did too :) Time seems to fly lately in large chunks, even if individual days or weeks feel like an eternity...wasn't I just posting last year's Advent gifts a month or two ago? LOL! This year was not much of an improvement over 2020 in general, so once again I am crossing my fingers that 2022 will be the one to feel positive and happier. I am still listening to Christmas music tonight, as I will probably do until the first day or two of the new year. I hope you're all having a peaceful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
