Halloween Shop & Hop

 Hiya everyone! Tonight it's time to head over to the Halloween Shop & Hop 2025, and I couldn't be happier :) There are 18 spooktacular regions with 20 designers each, so 360 stores with discounts, new releases, and gifts for us to enjoy. I always enjoy the hard work that goes into decorating the regions, then of course the talent and creativity brought to each individual storefront as the designers show us their best. Tonight I'm featuring several gifts from the Aurelian region, as my habit is to share one region at a time to keep things somewhat organized. As always, I recommend taking a peek at the FabFree spreadsheet and sort the gifts by the bottom tabs as needed. Thanks so much to them for this!


My first look this evening is our ERSCH - Taytum Dress -violet- which is one of two gifts they are offering. The dress has bold puffy sleeves gathered twice, and is tattered at the hem so be careful about that opening ;) Our gift includes the dress and separate chain (draped over right shoulder) each in Belleza Classic, Belleza Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Reborn, Mounds, and Waifu mesh bodies, along with a HUD that offers 30 colors for the sleeves/collar, 40 for the deco (attached to front and back of chain), and 10 metals for the chain. Isn't the iridescence of the blouse beautiful?


I did mention two gifts of theirs, so of course I've got to show off the ERSCH - Ashley Suit -Halloween SPECIAL- as well! The top and skirt will fit Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Reborn, Mounds, and Waifu mesh bodies, with an amazing HUD offering 130 textures for the deco (this time that means straps and pockets) and 30 colors for the buttons. That is not a typo, there are a hundred and thirty choices there!! As a matter of fact, I was so busy counting those buttons a few times that I forgot to switch from the blue set to the pink set, so that version is not shown, sorry. 


Suddenly I'm feeling a bit Wicked in our MONOMANIA - Witch Me gift ;) We receive the jaunty hat and flirty dress, which comes in sizes for Legacy, Perky, Pushup, Maitreya, Petite, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. The hat is unrigged so you can adjust it. I'm sure you can tell there's also a HUD included, and that offers 12 colors each for the hat, hat trim, dress, and dress trim. The trim in both cases is really straps and buckles, hauntingly attractive if I do say so myself. If the hat really isn't your thing, you can certainly still wear the dress without it and enjoy the great texture and style.


Next I was really impressed by the 'Amikko' 2025 S&H Gift which is wonderfully detailed and ready for the season. There is just one mesh size included, as well as an alpha layer to help hide any stray bits that feel like poking through. The neck and cuffs are trimmed with soft fur, and the skirt's autumn leaf texture is a dreamy nod to the beauty of fall. Did you notice the pumpkin on the front of the neckline? Okay to be fair it is a jack o'lantern since it's carved, but I can never quite recall how to type that out correctly and the spellcheck in here hates it. 


My final look of the night is our ::ALTER:: Akasha Bodysuit ~ Red Pattern gift, another fantastic treat that can serve as a costume. The bodysuit and tail are separate pieces, and will both fit Kupra, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Lara X, Reborn, and Waifu. The provided ears are unrigged so we can edit and adjust them, to get just the right position for your head size and hairstyle. I do love a good animal print, and it's so fun to have it in a fantasy color so something you don't actually see in the wild.

Are you all ready for the weekend? I'm planning on going to my favorite farmers market in the morning, and there's preseason hockey to watch at 12:30 or as I call it, noon-thirty. I have lots of things to do in RL this weekend, but of course there are exciting things to explore in SL also :) I hope you're all having a blissful day/evening/weekend, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
