Winter is Coming

 Hiya everyone! Tonight's post features several treasure hunt prizes from the Winter is Coming event at Wonderland Beach. It is a shopping and treasure hunt event, so we get to explore the area and find wrapped boxes which are about the same size as the treasure chests that you would usually be seeking here :) They are different colors so just keep an eye out for the shape of a wrapped giftbox, most were white with a light blue ribbon/bow but some were red and green or had a different ribbon color. As for the prizes, they range from seasonal home decor to fashions for men and women, with some accessories including antlers and reindeer noses to get ready for Christmas. It's hard to believe that is just over a month away! That coincidentally is when the event ends, the 25th of December, so we have plenty of time to grab demos and enjoy some leisurely shopping while finding generous gifts.


First we have the stunning Lilleth Mills x GLOSSY - Lilac gift. This sleek mini slip dress has lace trim on the bodice for added sex appeal, and fits Freya, Hourglass, Kupra, Kupra Bimbo, Legacy, Maitreya, Reborn, and Reborn Juicy mesh bodies. There is also a special effects HUD included with 24 reflection colors, and settings for glow, shine, environment, and transparency. I have a light teal color selected on the left and a pale orange on the right, if you look very closely, and had a lot of fun playing with the various buttons to adjust things.


I also found a special prize at the (BB Design) display, which is their Open back Babydoll Green. This sexy lingerie set consists of the babydoll with sheer lace top and matching g-string, each in standard mesh sizes along with Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh body versions. That rear view is a real show stopper, isn't it?


Next I changed into the beautiful Red Hot Salsa Micro Mini Dress in Mesh gift from Angel Fae Boutique. It really lives up to the name with that sizzling color and irresistible lacy texture! There are standard mesh sizes provided as well as Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP Legacy mesh body versions. Xan got a kick out of how excited I was to find something with red hot salsa in the name, since I cannot tolerate RL spice and he is very well aware of that fact ;) My avatar however is clearly a fan of hot stuff!


Let it go, let it go...no wait, that's not quite what this says ;) This purple-loving magpie was delighted to claim the Let It Snow Sweater, Jeans and Boots by Moonstar, a generous prize that will work for classic avatars or most mesh bodies. The top and jeans come in system/BOM layers and appliers for Maitreya, Omega, Slink, and Lola, with a collar that can be resized and a pair of boots that can also be adjusted. The boots look so warm and snuggly, and you can easily wear the outfit without the collar if you prefer or if it interferes with your hair. 


My final look this evening is just right for cuddling up in front of a fireplace, especially after a large holiday meal if you are celebrating :) This is the Red Long Johns with Footies by COVETED! and is one of two gifts inside their treasure hunt present, the other being men's cargo pants. The ladies outfit is all one piece in a subtle plaid pattern, with a cute rear flap and buttoned front placket. It includes sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies. The red might make you think of Christmas, but my focus at the moment is purely Thanksgiving :)

I want to wish all my American readers a very very Happy Thanksgiving, and to all of you who are not American or do not celebrate, I wish you a wonderful day as always ♥. I am truly grateful for the opportunity to share my free and affordable findings with all of you, and the chance to share little tidbits of my life both RL and SL. My 'dinner' starts at 1PM so it will be a busy day from the start, and I am excited to see everyone who will be there. We are expecting 11 total I believe, so not a huge gathering but just the right people to make it special. There will be fruit salad (my mom's yearly tradition for 50+ years), two soups, smoked turkey breast and lots of veggie sides, and of course some desserts that I will not have room for by the time we reach that part of the day. Everyone will go home with leftovers, and we are good about not letting discussions get controversial so it should be a pleasant day. No blog post tomorrow evening, and I don't know yet if I'll be able to on Friday but am leaning towards yes. I hope you're all having a beautiful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
