Holiday Shop & Hop Women's Gift Gowns And Outfits

 

By Netera Landar

Take a minute to explore the Holiday Shop & Hop décor. Tucked away in the corner, you’ll find a reindeer ready to lift off in a Santa hot air balloon while three carolers prepare to sing a song. The stained-glass Christmas tree window is beautiful.

Attending the Holiday Shop & Hop is best done when you’re wide awake, and there are fewer avatars around you. Good luck with both. Wearing roller skates helps you navigate the 18 shopping regions. You can refer to Fab Free’s gift list or use Second Life’s Community page to see all the participating vendors. Then plan your strategy. You might not have time to click on every gift, so focus on what you want most and visit those stores. I love all the Shop and Hops, but the graphics can be quite a challenge. Pull in your draw distance, clear your cache, and use a simple AO. The event ends on January 4.

For this article, I’m going to write about the Holiday Shop & Hop gifts that most women would feel comfortable wearing. The style, color, and length are all important. I don’t know about you, but I love gowns, especially gold ones. They are enchanting and romantic. Accessorize it with your favorite diamond or gold earrings, a bracelet, and gold heels, and then visit your favorite ballroom.

So, this is what I chose from the shopping event.

Sofia’s Raindrops gold Gown is worn with Truth Soiree hair with Lights Rigged, and DE Boutique Moly Heels. The setting is at the Winter Ice Christmas Fest.

Sofia’s Shop & Hop gift is pure elegance. It’s stunning. The Raindrops Gown has a patterned bodice with a full skirt glistening with raindrops. It has a white fur jacket that rests below the shoulders, which perfectly complements the gown. 

Poison Rouge’s black Charlize Dress is daring, but you know you want to wear it. Worn with Truth Luster Brunette hair at Inspire Space Park.

Poison Rouge’s black Charlize Dress is daring and sexy. Perfect for an adult ballroom and guaranteed to make your partner happy and other men jealous.

Queen’s Forever Gown wraps around you like a silk sheet. It’s worn with Truth Imani Brunette hair at Angel Manor’s Rose Theatre.

Queens Forever Gown wraps around you like a silk sheet. Another beautiful ballroom gown or for a romantic dinner for two.

Flower Dreams Nana is a mini dress with a cut-out bodice. The hud features eight textures. The setting is a private sim.

Flower Dreams Nana is a mini dress with a cut-out bodice. A little sexier than I usually wear, but I love the patterns. There are eight to choose from.

There were several other dresses I selected that I couldn’t try on because I don’t have the new LauraX. For one, Purple Moon’s gift was a Sequin Set, a Nari Top, and a Sasha skirt. May 24’s Eva sweater dress has extended shoulders, a short length, and five colors.

For accessories, NaaNaa’s Twinkle Necklace has a charm bracelet look, and Kunglers’ gift, dangling multi-texture earrings, would be perfect for any of the above photos. Miamai’s STAR Hair Barrette has 14 gem colors, 11 pearls, and 4 metals. What a lovely last-minute touch to a special outfit. 

I haven’t tried it on yet, but I know I’ll wear GGVG Fashion’s Christmas outfit. It doesn’t have your typical Christmas colors. The jacket has a fur collar and a snowflake design. There’s fur on the pants, and it comes with boots. Belle Epoque is offering a red leather, hug-your-body Susana Dress. Great style and color.

By Netera Landar

Hilly Haalan’s main store’s entrance has a realistic exterior

Allow yourself at least 45 minutes if you plan to shop at Hilly Haalan’s main store. It’s the size of a mall, and you won’t know where to look first. There are so many fashions to gaze at and admire. The teleporter directories will help you get around.

The outside vendors will delay your entrance into the store. There are so many dresses to choose from.

Before you even set foot in the store, there is clothing displayed at the landing point. Here you will find short dresses and outfits, along with the group gift. Various stores are dedicated to footwear, formals, new and previous releases, accessories, lingerie, and occasional items. 

The Celestina Dress would be perfect for New Year’s Eve with its sparkling sequins.Choose from 30 colors

Inside the main store, you’ll be immediately drawn to Celestina, a sequined gown perfect for New Year’s Eve. It’s right at the entrance. There are Latex shiny dresses and outfits, as well as form-fitting formal gowns. 

 

Felicity Knit Dress with hud and the Layna Set

Short dresses in a variety of colors and styles. Even winter knit dresses. Loved the one with a hat and a matching scarf. All are adorable and realistic. 

 

The Palina dress was available in plain or patterned. There were dresses with cardigan textures. The Edith dress is perfect for a 50s venue. Some had lace sleeves and stockings. Dresses with mega huds had 60 textures. Autumn dresses had solid tops and patterned skirts. I also found Summer tops with matching maxi-length skirts. 

The Claire Dress would be great for a country venue

If you love going to country venues, check out the Claire Dress, a feminine style that will get their attention. 

The Veronica Outfit offers 35 color choices for jacket, pants, and boot

On the back wall, I found the Veronica outfit, which includes 15 different color jackets, pants, and boots, 30 sweater colors, in a new updated hud, which now gives you a total of 35 jackets, pants, and boots, and 55 sweater color options.

The Leni skirt set would fit right in a tropical setting or retro, for Woodstock

There are skirt outfits, pants outfits, and more. I found short sets, perfect for your summer wardrobe.

Join Hilly Haalan’s group and then head to the Gift building. You’ll find colorful summer dresses, a jogger’s set, a cardigan dress, Love mules, laser-cut heels, classic avatar outfits, necklaces, and more.

 

You’ll find the Occasional store near the Gift building. It’s filled with Halloween outfits. Just a glance and I saw Wednesday from The Addams Family; Jessica Rabbit, Catwoman, Beetlejuice, a Thorned Widow, a Corset outfit, to name a few. There are numerous Valentine’s Day, Easter, Fourth of July, and Christmas outfits as well.
