Shopping and Hopping

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we're back at the Halloween Shop & Hop, this time visiting the region of Forsythia which is one of 16 regions filled with treats. There are exclusive sales offers from 20 designers per region, with at least one free gift from each as well :) Some are gift cards or store credit so you can select your own reward for visiting, while other designers have picked out something they feel is representative of their brand and hard work, and I'm grateful for every single one. The Halloween Shop & Hop is open until the 5th of November, so we still have plenty of time to explore and enjoy.


My first look of the evening is an extra large image, so please give it a click to see the full view of our .:{Sofia}:. Kayla Gown Dress V1 - Orange gift. This gorgeous gown and matching bow are each provided in sizes for Belleza Classic, Belleza Curvy, Erika, Erika Bubble, Freya, Legacy, Maitreya, Reborn, Reborn Juicy, and Waifu mesh bodies. Then we can add the earrings, brooch (appears on the bodice), and even the floral bouquet with a built in hold pose. This gives a unique bridal look, or at least bridal party, but without the bouquet it can be an elegant gown for any formal event :) The orange of course gives Halloween or autumn vibes, or maybe it's just your favorite color which makes it perfect for any time of year.


Another gift I found with similar coloring is the Stories&Co. Mara Dress - Glow. This sexy strapless dress comes down to mid-thigh, with a daring slit on the left leg all the way up to the hip, and the fabric does indeed appear to glow because of the beautiful texturing. Claim this gift and you'll receive Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Reborn, and Reborn Waifu mesh body sizing. Please note the low cut neckline is definitely flashing some nippleage with the Legacy body size, and sometimes that does vary by body but for wearing in a family friendly place I'll layer a strapless lace bra beneath.


I also love purple for this time of year, so it was a pleasure to find the Entice - Sweet Jane - Purple Plaid gift :) The jacket and panties are each provided in sizes for Freya, Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Petite mesh bodies. The panties are solid colored and coordinate beautifully with the hues of the plaid we see on the jacket, subtle and lovely.


For something cozy and casual to wear any time of year, be sure to visit the Caboodle display and pick up their Anne Shirt & Shorts - Stripe gift. The loose-fitting short sleeved top and shorts that are laced tightly in front like football pants are both a soft beige with slightly darker striping. There are eBody, Freya, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite sizes of these sweet separates, and as individual pieces you can pair them with other wardrobe staples as well if you prefer.


My final look of the night is a combination spooky and sexy (spexy?) treat from Les sucreries de Fairy named *Cute Gost Outfit*. There are black and white versions each in sizes for Legacy and Maitreya bodies for the dress, panties, collar, and garters. They are basically photo negative images of each other, with the ghost appearing on front and back of each color. This particular brand was crafting fashions for Maitreya only for a while, so it was a pleasure to see the Legacy sizing included as well :)

It was a quiet day here, which is just the way I like them, and I am basically going to be flipping a coin or rolling some dice to decide which of the many events' gifts to share tomorrow ;) I have been focusing on variety so not too much of any one at once, as this month is a bounty of seasonal celebrations and anniversary/birthday treats from various events. Believe me, I feel blessed even if it is a bit busy! November will probably be very quiet, then December is generous chaos. I hope you're all having a terrific day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
