Shopping and Hopping

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I'm back at the Valentine Shop & Hop, this time sharing free gifts found on the Delphinium region. That's one of 14 in this round that each hold 20 stores for a total of 280 incredible designers, so with that many you're bound to run into old favorites and find brand new to you stores to enjoy. That's part of why I adore these events so much, as we know that these are all top designers who are bringing their best for sale (discounts!!) and as gifts. Please don't let the Valentine name deter you if you're not a fan of the holiday, as the decor may be themed but not all of the offerings are strictly lovey-dovey or mushy. 


The *Atri Designs* Valentin dress gift felt like a fantastic way to start the evening, with that flirty one-shoulder style and gentle ruffles up top. There are sizes for Lara X and Legacy mesh bodies, with an alpha layer in case you need it :) The hot red can certainly be a nod to the holiday, but personally I think almost all of us look great in this hue all year long.


Next we have some Kisses from {Chaotic}, as that is the name of this adorable outfit. The cinched tube top and boy shorts are each provided in Lara X, Legacy, Reborn, and Waifu mesh body sizes, and covered in lip prints for that freshly kissed look. I can't resist the bows with their long tails dangling down!


I feel like lingerie is one of those special things that you can wear to impress others, but also can select styles that help you feel more confident and alluring even if they are hidden beneath your outerwear. So the [Glitzz] Perla Lingerie - Cherry gift is a perfect choice for either way I just described wearing this type of clothing :) There are 2 system/BOM layers, corset and panty, so you can enjoy either individually or wear them together as shown. The detailing is exquisite, with lace and sheer sections and the pretty bows.


That lingerie also came in handy so I could show off the Ghee - Valentines S&H 26 GIFT layered atop it :) There is just something so fun about a skirt with suspenders, and this set has them playfully hanging from the waistband so they are draped over each hip. The skirt is short enough that keeping those panties on became a necessity, lol, but I'm also thinking of layering a bodysuit beneath. We receive sizing for Erika, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, Prima, Reborn, and Star mesh bodies.


My final look of the evening is two of the three lovely versions included in our Les Sucreries de Fairy * Valentine Outfit gift. That's Blue on the left and Red to the right, with Pink being the third not shown :) I'm wearing the PBR versions because I use a compatible view (Firestorm) but there are non-PBR pieces included as well for each part. Unpack your size from Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, or Reborn, and the folder holds the dress, collar, armbands, and garters. I'm getting a vibe somewhere between Lolita and Sailor Moon, LOL, and loving all the lace and bows that bring special touches to the outfits.

Whew, I looked at my tivo (DVR) earlier and saw that I hadn't watched any American Idol yet this season, so I decided to play one while I've been blogging...possible mistake since I forgot how the early audition rounds always have such heart wrenching stories that I wind up crying every time. It's a good thing I always keep tissues handy because of my allergies ;) Oddly I haven't caught that mouse yet in my office here, or really heard much, so I don't know what to think about that. I don't think they usually leave once they've gotten in and found warmth and fun things to chew on, but maybe it went to a different room or something. I'm doing my weekly 'gaming with friends' evening tomorrow, but I'll still be here blogging afterwards as usual. I hope you're all having a lovely day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
