The presents have been opened, the Christmas food nommed, and now I have time to catch my breath and show you another FREE gift from the Winter Shop & Hop Event!
The top and skirt are separates, and are sized for Lara, Freya, Isis, Hourglass, and Physique. Each piece comes with a separate HUD, both with four colors, and the skirt includes four metal choices for the eyelets too.
This really nicely done sweater dress and sleeves set is by Salt and Pepper. The sleeves and dress are separate, and both come in sizes for Lara, Freya, and a one-size-fits-all for classic avatars. Also included is a twelve color HUD the lets you texture the dress, sleeves, and the tie separately.
This is another of the FREE gifts available at the Winter Shop & Hop event, that runs until the 13th of January.
I’m not sure what to call this dress. It’s a double breasted trench coat/dress but the frills and golden decorations make it seriously formal. Whatever we decide on calling it, it’s for Lara only.
Today, Eden will elect the Winter Queen for 2019. This is what I’ll be wearing.
This is a gown I picked up a few years back, but I’ve never photographed it before. It’s only in standard sizing, and with all the flexi and attachments, it’s rather complex, but it’s a fantastic look!
I do have a Santa’s Little Helper event coming up at Eden after all, so I suppose I have to find one Christmas-y outfit.
This is a FREE gift at the Winter Shop & Hop event. The panties and corset are separates and are both sized for Lara, Freya, Hourglass, and a one-size-fits-all for classic avatars.
There are numerous gifties available at the Winter Shop & Hop event. A few stores are giving away gift cards to you can get anything from their stores, which I think is just a wonderfully generous idea!
One store doing this is ViSion, and this dress is what I picked up with my gift card!
There are a number of colors to pick from at L$250 each. I think there is also a fatpack, although I forgot to look closely as I knew I wouldn’t be able to afford it with L$300 🙂
The single colors come with a HUD that allows you to change the colors of the laces, rings, zipper, and the in-built panties, or hide the panties if you prefer your own. The dress is sized for Lara, Freya, Isis, Physique, and Hourglass.
While I was gift gathering at the Winter Shop & Hop (on until the 13th of January), I was stopped in my tracks by this awesome leather and lace creation by The Forge.
Leather and lace events are fairly common in SL, and it’s always nice to have something totally eye-catching, and this outfit is certainly that! The strap and buckle detailing is excellent.
It’s only sized for Lara, and there are a number of other colors available at the event, for L$210 each.
Happy Winter, everyone! I love this time of year — cold and snow are SO much easier to deal with in SL than they are in RL! But even in RL, there is so much magic in the snow and in the seasonal lights. It’s a beautiful time!
I came across this wonderful set of Winter Guardians from Spyralle at the Winter’s Hollow event, and they are just the perfect happy touch to your parcel, your sim, your little corner of Winter. There are four of them, and they’re resizeable to fit your space. Each is from one to two LI depending on the size.
The onset of Winter is a wonderful time to me, and sometimes the magic swirls around like falling leaves and snowflakes. Kerryth at Spyralle introduced a new pattern for her Silvia dress, and offered a beautiful leafy headpiece that matches perfectly. This looked beautiful enough in my “usual” QuinnPerle skin from Oceane Body Design, but when I tried the Opal Ice skin from Fallen Gods, something really shiny began to take place.
This outfit was just a joy to put together, and there’s just so much here to share with you. I found the beautiful dress and headpiece from Spyralle on a recent trip, then kept finding the perfect things to put together with the outfit. The Nature’s Splendour jewelry from EarthStones was just perfect to carry the maple leaf theme, and the HUD let me select some blue and opalescent textures that carry the theme of the dress, the headdress, and the skin. On top of that, while wandering around Enchantment, I came across the perfect face paint / facial tattoo from Nefekalum Tattoos — the beautiful blue maple leafs! It is almost as if this was destined.
If you’re like me, there’s a lot of chaos to take place before the December holidays.. and those December holidays themselves take on many different forms. But I think that nearly all of them carry the same message — a time of peace, a time of joy, a time of family and friends. I hope that even in the chaos that you may all carry that joy with you throughout the next month.
Have a wonderfully happy week, my friends! A hui hou kākou!
I usually shy away from pinks and corals — they often clash with my ginger — but I saw Bee’s colours in the Amaryllis style for Crystallis and I just fell in love. I feel like I’m dressed in the sunset.
I don’t get enough opportunity to wear the Springleaf necklace from Empyrean Forge — it’s a large piece, and definitely requires a strapless gown — or at least a broad expanse of chest — so that it’s not crowded. It works perfectly with the Crystallis gown.
I wish you all a wonderful weekend! If you are able, recharge, rejuvenate, refill with peace and strength for the week ahead. If you are not able, find some time to breathe and take in a little peace… and that rejuvenation time will come.
