Poppy Shop and Hoppy

 Hiya everyone! Tonight it's time to visit the Poppy region of the Halloween Shop & Hop event, which appeals to my shopaholic side and my gift-loving nature. There are 18 regions packed with designers' displays, each with discounted offerings and a gift or two for us to enjoy. The FabFree team has worked hard as usual to provide us a spreadsheet of gifts, which you can view sorted by type, store name, etc. with the tabs at the bottom. I'm always grateful because that ensures I didn't miss any gifts, and I can steer Xan towards the male gifts and unisex ones that may catch his attention :) The event area is seasonally decorated quite nicely, and we have until just past Halloween (November 2nd) to explore and shop.


First up, I slipped into the striking Son!a-Edge Kenya Dress Witch gift, one of a few they are offering in their setup. The gown has an attached cape and is studded with gems down the sides, and is provided in sizing for Khara, Legacy, Maitreya, Reborn, Juicy, and Waifu mesh bodies. We also receive a HUD which offers 16 colors for the gems, on/off options for the cape, sheer skirt, gems glow, materials, gems bright, and a sheer/solid choice for the cape. I've got the cape solid on the left and sheer on the right, so you could see the fun straps in the back easier through it :) The Maitreya fits my Lara X body fairly well, other than a bit of clipping on the back of the hips which was instantly resolved with the alpha layer included with the dress.


Our BlueMoon enterprise gift, BMe Drusilla Halloween Gown, is also very elegant with a touch of spookiness that suits the season wonderfully. The gown has shoulder straps adorned with a high collar, long sheer sleeves with slits, deep V neckline laced very loosely, and a dramatic slit on the left thigh. Those deep red and black stripes are simply stunning, aren't they? This treat comes in Lara X and Reborn mesh body sizing.


Do you need even more elegance in your life? If so, be sure to visit .:{Sofia}:. and pick up their gorgeous Titania Gown Dress Blood V.2 gift. This seductive satin gown has a ruched bodice topped with a large black bow, and the swirl of skirt is opened on the right to reveal a black inner lining (plus a whole lot of leg!). There are sizes for Erika, Freya, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, Reborn, Juicy, Waifu, and Slink Hourglass mesh bodies provided, along with a pair of black earrings to really complete the look in style.


You know I am a casual gal at heart, at least most of the time in SL, so naturally I adore the GoodVibes HER Creeping it Real gift too :) The cropped sweater is decorated with a seasonal spider wearing a jack o'lantern, and its fuzzy legs seem to be more numerous than usual as I think I counted 14 of them! It does say CREEPING IT REAL above and beneath the spider, and I think the jack o'lantern goes perfectly with the images on the pants. Our gift includes the sweater and pants in sizing for Lara X, Petite X, Legacy, Reborn, Waifu, and Star mesh bodies, plus matching heels to fit Lara X, Legacy, Reborn, and Star feet. There is a men's gift here too, similar in theme, so tell a guy friend :) 


My final look this evening is a closer view of my nails for the night, our BLOOM - BLACK RIBBON NAILS [CUTE SQUARE] gift. They are ideal for those who love the look of a manicure but do not want an extra long or pointed style. These have a sheer black base with tiny dark polka dots, then the free edge is deepened with a solid black that almost mimics a French mani style. To wear these, please use your body's HUD to hide its built in nails and add either the eBody, Legacy, or Maitreya size nails from your new gift's folder. Chef's kiss!

It was a quiet day, but that is for the best since tomorrow I'm making a huge attempt to go further than I've been in over 2 years. The anxiety might not always play nicely, but I'm trying to kickstart things in the proper direction for healing. Please insert your favorite meme about being nervous here, lol, as I can't even decide which one to mention first. I hope you're all having a lovely day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
