I know how we’re all deep into the inner machinations of how Advent is affecting our inventories… so here I am, to throw another wrench in your organization (or lack thereof). But I’m going to do it from this very quiet zen location… because I am overwhelmed by the season already!
Walking in a Winter….Winterland
As promised, December is starting with a bang. The HW Winterland event has just opened, and the sheer number of gifts is enough to send you in to a tizzy. I joined the Access group for freewhen I landed at the event, and then clicked on the Christmas stockings hung above each booth (though some people put the gifts inside instead) to receive the gifts. Gosh. It was a lot. Here’s what I’ve got on:
FREEdress by Leroy sized for GenX Curvy, GenX, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Perky & Reborn
FREEpurse by Movement in several colours
FREEbow by Glitzz
FREEhair by Navy & Copper in a full fatpack of colours
This event is running until December 31st. If you can’t get to it today, at least put it on your to-do list!

Happy Tuesday, Fabulous Readers! Gus and I are back to share three free group gifts and a budget-friendly sweater dress that we picked up on the Marketplace. The gifts were all set out in November, and are still available at the time of publication, but I don’t know how much longer they will be available. If you like them, don’t delay!
Glossy Lips
I’m always searching for the perfect shade of lipwear to coordinate with outfits, and Goreglam had just what I needed. The “Cherrie” Watergloss EVO X is a free HUD that is packed with 12 shimmering textures. I don’t know about you, but I’m always battling dry lips in the winter in RL. With this set, your SL lips will be beautifully protected. The sign at the shop says the set will only be available until Dec. 1st, but it’s still there today. To pick up your own gorgeous gloss, you must be a member of the Goreglam Group, which is free to join.
Who Needs a Warm Cuppa?
I do! Normally, I’m telling you how warm it is where I am in RL, but this morning I woke up to a chilly 44 degrees. I know, it’s not that bad to most people (especially for Aline!), but when your summers get up to 110+ Fahrenheit, anything below 55 is COLD! The steamy mug I’m holding is a free gift from FNY Designs. It features festive reindeer, marshmallow-topped hot chocolate, and two cinnamon sticks. Yum! There are 3 colors available for the mug: red, gold, and rose. It’s perfect for winter photos! To add this delicious concoction to your collection, tap the vendor and pay 1L$. This will be refunded to you instantly.
These Boots
My Crystal Denim Boots are a free gift for members of the Unfolded Official Group, which is free to join. They reach to about mid-calf and feature high heels, metallic beaded accents, and a soft denim fabric. The designer generously includes a texture HUD packed with 10 denim textures, 5 options for the sole, and 5 colors for the metal. They are super cute (check out the close-up below)! Simply teleport to Unfolded, activate your group tag, and tap the vendor. Easy peasy!
Mesh Body Compatibility:
Legacy
Maitreya Lara X (they worked with my Lara as well)
Reborn
Cozy Knit
I discovered the figure-flattering Leni Sweater dress at the MH Unique Design Marketplace Store for just 25L$. It features a loose cowl neck, wide sleeves, and a snug hemline to keep old man winter at bay. A texture HUD with 10 hues makes this a versatile chilly weather staple. The fitmesh model is designed for a variety of mesh body types, as well as classic avatars. Go ahead and treat yourself while you are out running your holiday errands. (You know you want to!)
Mesh Body Compatibility:
Belleza Freya, Isis, and Venus
eBody
Maitreya
Ocacin
Slink Hourglass and Physique
TMP
Tonic Curvy and Fine

There you have it, Fabulous Readers! An outfit perfect for a winter wonderland that won’t break the bank. Until our next post, happy shopping!

Rocking the Pink (again)
This cute little outfit is a gift from Black Angel. The Rita Xmas outfit is a complete one. It features a cropped top, miniskirt with panty, harness, and boots. It comes with a large texture change hud for recoloring the Bow, top, skirt, boots, and harness. All you need comes in the package you’ll find under the tree at Palomma Plaza! The skirt, as you can see, is pretty brief but it does have an attached panty strip.

Never Forget the Nails
I’ve been a long time fan of the Mani-Pedi store. The creator, Miyushu, crafts the colors by hand. Her polishes are bright & follow a theme as collections are named. You’ll find this gorgeous polish under the tree at Palomma Plaza. The Xmas Shiny Bright polish comes with applier huds for: GenX, Legacy, Maitreya, Omega, Reborn, and Slink. There are five bright colors in each hud. And, best of all, it’s free!
There are 6 items hiding in the Mani Pedi main store for the Peace On Earth hunt if you’re interested.
Get your running shoes on and start collecting all the wonderful gifts around the grid!
Peace,

Look at me, Fabs, I did my darndest not to jump into Christmas until December, and for some reason it was actually successful.
It’s time
Now that advent season has started, we can blog allllllllllllll the holiday stuff! I won this outfit before December started, but it certainly is perfect for the season. This full outfit (top, bottoms, sweater, socks, slippers AND cocoa) is the prize on the [QE Designs] MM board, yep, THAT board, the one you can play for free with NGN! There’s a huge color and texture hud included too.
The target on this board is only 45 slaps, so let’s help our members win this one. It comes rigged for:
Maitreya/Petite
Legacy/Perky
Reborn
I can’t remember if I wore the Maitreya or Legacy size on my Lara X but it fit without any problems, run to get this board locked!
