Shop and Hop Golden

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we explore the Golden region of the 2024 Holiday Shop & Hop, a shopping extravaganza that you won't want to miss :) There are a total of 16 regions with 320 stores represented, offering discounted items and free gifts for us to enjoy until early January. FabFree has worked hard to produce another wonderful spreadsheet for us to see all the stores and gifts, sortable by region, type (male, female, unisex, gift cards, etc.), store name, and large pictures to scroll through and plan your visits. I'm always so impressed with their ability to gather all that info and keep it updated! I keep the gifts sorted by region in my inventory while the event is going so I can share one region at a time here, so you're only teleporting the one time and then wandering around the beautifully decorated sim.


We can never have too many seasonal shirts, so I'm starting with the lovely zOOm - Sweater Shop&Hop Holiday 2024 duo. They are labeled v1 and v2, with v1 being the teal trimmed one saying Hello Winter and the red trimmed one "I run on coffee and Christmas cheer" is the v2 cutie on the right above. Each are provided in Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Lara X, Legacy, Bombshell, Reborn, and Waifu mesh body sizing. If you've been here before you can probably guess that I'm wearing Delizio jeans, the black pair from my favorite marketplace freebie :) It's got several colors in system/BOM layers and appliers for Maitreya and Omega.


I also can't wait to show you the {S&C} Lille Dress ~ Christmas 3 gift from Spells & Charms. This long sleeved mini dress has a bold pattern of candy canes and bows, in your choice of 4 color combos via the enclosed HUD. The gift includes sizing for Erika, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Lara X, and Reborn mesh bodies.


There are 2 gifts found at the Les Sucreries de Fairy display, one of which is this adorable Noelynn Free Gift outfit. It starts with the matching top and shorts in sizes for Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, and Reborn mesh bodies, then we can add our hat and scarf which are each unrigged and adjustable. I really enjoy the winter white lace trim, and the quilt squares of the shorts going so well with the colors in the tree pattern on the lower portion of the top. 


This beautiful look is our Belle Epoque - Brie - Christmas gift, one of three they are currently offering here. The full skirted gown comes in Legacy, Perky, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh body sizes. Our close fitting bodice is laced diagonally down the front to the left, and the sleeves that fall just past the elbow are the same festive pattern as the skirt. I love the way the solid red bodice pops against it!


My final look of the evening is the glamorous :Moon Amore: Glittering Night Gown / GIFT. It is as sexy as it is elegant, and includes the shimmery gown and a tail addon that each fit eBody, Legacy, and Maitreya sizes. I have been wearing the Lara X body for all of these looks, and the Maitreya size gown seems to fit Lara X better in some areas but the crossed straps in the back might fit Lara 5.3 a bit better :) It really looks just as gorgeous with or without the tail piece, so it's up to you which look suits your tastes or destination better.

My final weekend before Christmas (whoa, how did that happen already?) was a busy one, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing :) My parents are still being obnoxiously undecided about the pizza crust for Wednesday, which naturally has become a bit more complicated since they stopped eating gluten several years ago. The struggle to find a recipe (they have gluten free flour from Italy) has now turned into the fact that their oven won't reach the 550 degrees needed to prebake the crust, so we've had another change of plans and I am just so tired of being so complicated. The pizza is supposed to be an easy option, ya know? LOL! I'm already planning tomorrow's post and looking forward to that :) I hope you're all having a terrific day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
