I was so blown away by JUMO’s dazzlingly shiny silver gown that I almost missed the  sumptuous grey stole tucked into the box.  I know, hard to believe but true.  The photo shoot was completed, and I was double checking the box for a possible alpha when I noticed a fitmesh + 5 standard sized models with the word fur in their descriptions.
OMG! It’s sooooooo FLUFFY!  Did I mention no animals, virtual or otherwise, were harmed in the creation of this stole?  The textures on this entire gift are outstanding.  Thanks JUMO for such an amazing gift.
ASU - Glitterxtra
The featured earrings and eyes can also be found at Designer’s Showcase.  The mesh eyes are a gift from Dulce Secrets.  They come in 3 shades and are boxed with system eyes, mesh eyes, and Catwa/Lelutka appliers.
If you wear Maitreya/Slink/Belleza feet be sure to visit Hilly Haalan for today’s heels.  The 30 shades packed into their HUD make them a must have item.


FYI – Today’s “look” could be you.  Everything in this post from the jewelry to the mesh body, it’s shape, the head, and slink compatible feet are 100% free.  Thanks to the generosity of Altamura, transitioning to mesh couldn’t be easier.

New Year’s Resolution #1:  Release your inner diva!
This fabulous New Year’s gift from ALB Dream Fashion will thrill your inner diva. It comes with a lovely fur coat, satin gown with optional flexi flounce, jewelry (not pictured), and fantastic gem encrusted heels.  The coat and gown include alphas for classic avatars w/5 standard sizes, and additional meshes for Maitreya, Slink, and Belleza bodies.  The heels are for mesh feet only:  Slink, Maitreya, Belleza, and Ocacin.

The coat has a lovely quirky little lace and bow kick pleat.

Today’s model is wearing the gown without the included flexi skirts.  However if you love to twirl in your silks, there are plenty of black and sparkly gold flexis to make you smile.

Lelutka head wearers will love this ultra glossy set of 6 lipsticks at Sintiklia.  The set can be found on the free gift wall, which happens to be next to a great bunch of free play lucky boards.

JACKET |Shop & Hop Event .Blueberry.250L credit – Minnie coat in pixie w/t-shirt HUD (199L/free w/credit)
HAT |Beautiful Dirty Rich .Holidays Little Diva – color + tint HUD (GG/free)
PANTS |SL Marketplace .Delizio.classic jeans – classic jeans w/appliers for mesh (free)
SHOE |The Free Dove .LBB.Kenji boots – resize menu + color HUD (GG/free)
Only 2 days left to Shop & Hop!  This gift rich winter shopping event only runs through January 4th, so it’s time to get your shop on.
Our classic model, Gabby, decided pop over to Blueberry and redeem her event store credit.  She chose the Minnie coat (shade pixie).  Minnie is sized for mesh bodies only, so there is no alpha for classic avatars in the box.  Of course, that does not mean classic avatars can’t wear this.  It simply means you have to be a bit creative by borrowing alphas you already have in your inventory.
Or, you can do what Gabby did, and simply wear one of the included meshes for a curvier body type such as Venus or Hourglass.  Going curvy will usually solve most fit problems.  Plus, you have the added joy of going voluptuous without having to purchase the body.  **WARNING – wearing  curvy mesh clothing on a classic avatar is a virtual Wonder Spanx – the effect ends when the coat comes off (wink, wink).** 
ASU - Shop&Hop3back
Today’s hair is one of several free (no group join required) gifts at Sintiklia.  The way the hair flows seamlessly over the mesh hooded jacked is simply great.  The Sheba hair is designed to be a hat hair, and comes with the option of making the included hat invisible so that you can wear any hat of your choosing.
Gabby decided to wear the hat from B.D.R.’s Little Diva outfit originally modeled here.  Little Diva’s HUD includes a tint picker for creating infinite color choices.  Gabby had no problem tinting the hat to match the shade of her coat.
I wanted to have our model pair this outfit with a nice pair of UGG styled winter boots.  Unfortunately, none of our team was able to track down a current freebie.  Cabal, yesterday’s model, overheard our dilemma and proceeded to bust up laughing.  He just kept looking down at his boots and roaring.  And, that’s when the light bulb exploded.  Ladies, the Kenji boots may be in the men’s section of The Free Dove, but that doesn’t mean we can’t wear them too!  Shop happy peeps!

Or, add a leather bolero, platform boots, and a harness or two to add an Underworld flavor to your wanderings.

Pop over to ADE for this casually fun hairstyle.  Issa is a fully featured fatpack gift with 9 color HUDs, 2 mesh models (rigged & unrigged), and a style HUD with bang & fringe options.
Issa’s bang option features an eyebrow length style which is very cute, but not the look our model was going for, so she went bangless and paired it with Sintiklia’s babyhair v.4.
Concluding today’s look is a charming skin from 7 Deadly Skins.  The oak toned Soya Omega applier is a group gift for members of Maitreya Gifts Sales & News.  You can find this and all the other shopping group gifts in the room directly behind the main desk.  Happy deal hunting!

Pop over to Sintiklia for these wonderful mesh hair accents.  The hair buns are part of a boxed gift set.  They come with several color HUDs, and an additional color picker HUD.  We paired the buns with the Babyhair gift set also from Sintiklia.   Both of these gifts are free for all store visitors.  Thanks Sintiklia, we love them!
If you’re thinking buns and babyhair don’t make a complete hairstyle, you are correct.  Altamura’s Estephania gift comes with the option to wear a hairbase.  Simply wear the hairbase, and color the buns to match for an instant new hairstyle.  Any avatar, classic or mesh, can make this style by wearing a colored hairbase and coordinating the Sintiklia buns and babyhair to match.
For the earrings, simply drop by the All Spiffed Up headquarters to get a pair for yourself.
