Christmas Wonderland

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I'd like to invite you to the 4th Christmas Wonderland event by RR, which has an Advent calendar, sales items from many talented designers, and gifts of $0L - $10L in red and green giftboxes shaped like hat boxes. I remembered how much fun I had last year, so of course I've been eager to return and share the bounty of gifts I found :) As usual we are focused on the freebies here, but there are plenty of dollarbie and low priced gifts all around so just keep an eye out and enjoy your exploration.


My first look this evening is the Wicked, Inc. Beige/Brown Christmas Set WOMEN gift, one of two in the same giftbox since the men's version is included too. Our turtleneck is provided in standard mesh sizes as well as Freya, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique body sizes, with leather heel pants to fit Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink bodies plus 5 fitmesh standard sizes for classic avatars. I alpha'd out my entire legs and feet with my Maitreya HUD here to accommodate the slender fit of the pants. It is a really sharp look, and a fun change from all the red and green that make frequent appearances this time of year. No shade to those hues, big fan of every color this season!


This beautiful nod to Christmas is the NOEL DRESS GIFT which can be yours for free at the KEY STYLE display. It fits Freya, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique bodies, and includes a HUD with 8 color options. Some like the one on the left above are actually color combinations, but all have pretty snowflakes on the lower skirt layer and are trimmed with white fur. I feel so festive in this, and just need a good place to wear it ;)


I was tickled by the contrast between these two free gifts from Xpressions, both in color and theme. On the left I am wearing their [Xprs] - Not Necessarily a Wedding Dress Set, an elegant strapless mermaid gown in snowy embroidered white with matching necklace and earrings. The gown fits Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique bodies. Then I changed into the [Xprs] - GIFT - Day in the Gym Set, a wonderfully sporty pairing of top and shorts each in sizing for Freya, Isis, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique bodies, with sneakers that fit Belleza, Legacy, Maitreya, and Slink flat feet. These outfits may serve very different purposes, but both so nicely textured and fun to wear. 


Uni-qu3 will help us have a holly jolly Christmas with their free gift, called Dreamer Merry 7. It is provided in Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizes, with plunging front and back with decorated Christmas tree on both views. The style really caught my eye, even before noticing the trees that have multicolored baubles and some snowflakes falling above them. 


My final look this evening is one I would gladly wear in RL too, the Zola Design Sweater Dress Christmas Color HUD. The cozy cowl neck, long sleeved dress has a short hemline that could work as a long tunic top too if you wanted to layer your favorite jeans/leggings beneath. It comes in sizes for eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Ocacin, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh bodies, along with a 16 texture HUD to change the look over and over. There are different knit patterns among our choices, and plenty of color variety that you could wear this multiple times without people who see you in it being aware. Very generous for a free gift, that's for sure, as all of tonight's outfits are.

It was a pretty decent day here, until my hockey team lost to a big rival in a wild game that took several turns towards the end. In SL news, the holiday Shop & Hop event is opening soon (noon tomorrow I think?) so that will be an adventure trying to get into very crowded sims and doing some shopping and gift claiming. I definitely enjoy every round though, looking forward to it as usual. I hope you're all having a lovely day/evening, magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
