Traditional Alice

Oh my goodness, only a few days left before Christmas – I guess I had better do the whole traditiony thing and get my tree up!  Ploom has this great Traditions Tree & Chair Set Pose that includes the holdable star for 40L for yesterday’s advent pose (Dec. 18th).

I am in looooooove with this comfy looking mesh sweater dress! This is Chandelle’s Alice Dress in Red/White that is available for 99L at The Winter Wishes Market in 5 different colours.  Yes, I know…  ”Love, that’s not free!”, BUT, But, but…  The sheer half smooth tights are a dollarbie at the Chandelle display right next to these sweater dresses.  Don’t blame me if you “accidentally” pick up the sweater dresses while you are there snagging the gift

Alice Project has spoiled us ladies with yet another holiday streaked hairstyle for their advent gift today!  Today you can pick up Kiera, in blonde, natural red, brown, white and black.

Spring Flowers And Winter Berries

One of the wonderful things about Second Life is that when you tire of winter snow, there’s sure to be a warm-weather sim just a click away. I did a search for “garden” and wound up in this lovely, peaceful meadow – I feel like I’m in a Van Gogh painting. Look, I caught a butterfly!

This gorgeous floral gown was recently sent to Kungler’s group members (check your group notices or head over to the store to pick one up). I love the way it hugs my curves in old Hollywood glam-style. The Kungler’s group is 50L to join, but every month group members receive something unique and beautiful – you won’t be disappointed!

My jewelry, called Winter Berries, are advent gifts from Chop Zuey Couture. These gifts are free to everyone, and are all still available, so pop over and pick yours up. My hair and skin are not free, but are both amazing deals from “”D!va”" and Glam Affair at Collabor88. The luscious lips of the skin and the wispy strands of hair… I couldn’t resist!

I think I’ll just stand here and drink in the beauty of nature for a while. It’s a long time until spring comes… in real life, that is.

That’s MISS Santa, Baby!

Santa has been working so hard and is under so much stress these days. To make matters worse, his cholesterol was waaay up at his checkup last month, and his doctor recommended that he get some exercise and cut back on the sweets. And you know Santa: that’s not going to be easy! So the elves and I keep trying to lure him outside for some fresh air – thankfully Santa can’t resist a good snowball fight!

My adorable outfit, called Miss Santa, is a free gift from Blueberry. It includes the mesh dress, hat, and chunky, mesh legwarmer boots. You don’t have to join a group to get the gift; just head over to the store and click the display on the wall. I do recommend that you also give the subscribo a click before you leave because Blueberry frequently sends generous gifts out to subscribers.

My cute Gingerbread Man jewelry is an advent gift from *Perception*. You can’t see the matching earrings through my pepperminty hair – an advent gift from *Alice Project* - but I promise they’re in there. My holiday nails are an advent gift from LaRosa Virtual World Fashion, and you know what? LaRosa’s advent gifts are all still available, so hurry over and pick them up, if you haven’t already. There are even a few gifts for the guys!

The snowball fight pose and prop was an advent gift from *~*Hopscotch*~*. These gifts are 1L each, but are well worth it, especially if you’re a pose hoarder like I am!

Hey Santa! INCOMING!

Have Yourself a Tres Beau-licous Christmas!

Bah humbug! I just wasn’t feeling the holiday spirit AT ALL today until I opened the box for this merry outfit from Tres Beau’s Peace on Earth Hunt gift. I was so surprised to find not only the mesh sweater dress, but also the ribbed tights and mesh stiletto boots. The dress comes in 5 standard sizes, so there’s sure to be something to fit everyone.

My rosy-cheeked skin is not free, but is another of Glam Affair’s Frostbite offerings at the current round of Collabor88. My Christmas Ball earrings, necklace, and charm bracelet were all recent advent gifts from *Perception* (if you haven’t been picking up these cute, holiday-themed jewels each day, you’re really missing out!). Completing the ensemble are reindeer antlers by [Viita], which I picked up for free on the Marketplace.

I’m feeling much more festive now and am off to deliver some gifts!  :-)

I Am the Ghost of Christmas Presents From TWA

“I am the Ghost of Christmas Present. Look upon me.”
~A Christmas Carol, by Charles Dickens

Now look upon this incredible dress, Ghost of Christmas Present, which is this week’s group gift from The White Armory. Made of a dreamy, green velvet, it has hanging chains and a sheath for my sword (which I seem to have misplaced at the moment). It even has an optional front panel – which I’m not wearing here – with “urchins” on it, looking as if they are playing in the skirts. I love the holly leaves and berries on the bodice and crown.

The White Armory group is free to join, but not in the usual way. You must send a notecard in-world to Ida Donardson, and she will add you to the group. You will not regret the extra effort, I promise, as the weekly group gifts are stunning. New gifts are put out every Sunday, so hurry over today if you would like this one!

My skin is the exquisite Gaia Vintage Love from [PXL], which can be yours for a mere 10L when you find the red and black With Love Hunt box. The medallion I’m wearing is the elegant Renaissance Hunt gift from !Elemental Jewelry (there is also a men’s version in the box). You can see the holly on the bodice here, and how it cleverly hides my… you know… but still shows a peek-a-boo hint of skin. I am a ghost, after all, so I suppose I should display some modesty if I want to scare some sense into old Ebenezer Scrooge.

Also available to group members this month is this special Christmas dress, Rose Chalice. This one is cut aaaaaalll the way up the side, and shows a lot of sexy leg! I found these Dee Dee shoes from :: Masha :: on the Marketplace for only 10L. There’s a cute, silver bow on the side and a super-high, skinny stiletto heel which you can’t see from this view. I should definitely get Scrooge’s attention in this dress!

My jewels arrived just in time as an advent gift from Virtual Impressions. The Theresa set is all yummy red pearls and rubies, and a perfect match for this dress. Virtual Impressions’ advent gifts are available to group members only, but the group is free to join.

Oh look, there’s my sword! I’m off now to share the spirit of Christmas with Ebenezer Scrooge, and maybe a few others along the way. In the immortal words of Tiny Tim: “God bless us every one.”

Ploom By Candlelight

This is a bit of a quick post, but I am in a rush tonight to tell you of the Ploomy goodness!  Every day until Christmas day at Ploom they will have a hairstyle on special and a pose on special for advent!  Today I picked up the Lewna hair (available in all colour packs) for 100L and the Candlelight pose for 25L.  I can’t wait to head back tomorrow and see what is available!
