Some stores just make shopping less about money than it is about fun. Not just wall of products, not just nice clothes. Antonia Marat’s home base, artilleri, has got to be one of the best examples of this. Her main store in Gama is a 1950s diner dream, complete with vintage prim gas pumps, and store branches usually feature elements of this theme as well, like booths and jukeboxes.
But this isn’t new, and she’s not the only one who goes after ambiance as much as sale space. She also arranges everything to be extremely helpful to her customers, and a great demonstration of this? Today, Antonia released the Lulu bracelet, which is as you can see a collection of bangles printed with Antonia’s familiar rockabilly flare. Next to these bracelets in the NEWS section? Two suggestions for matching the shade of green that dominates her new accessory. A lot of long-time fashionistas may have no shortage of green, but flashback to when you were a little newer… Cute bracelets, that’s a given, but do you have anything to wear them with? Maybe the only greens you have are pastels? How much time would these extra three prims save you? (Should I stop speaking interrogatively?) Realistically this can’t be done with every product in an entire store, but it’s a pretty thoughtful idea to whip out now and then, especially with things like jewelry.

A little aside here; a great freebie to pick up if you don’t already have something similar is Mystical Cookie’s MystiTool HUD free edition, from Mystical Cookie Designs. While the full version (which is on sale right now for 50% off) has more features, the freebie alone has avatar radar, animation stop button, bug scanner, poser, emoter, a sit shield, sky platform rezzer, chat-range notifier, flight assist, reset all scripts function, and even a particle sparkly thing button (Edit: This is actually a non-physical vehicle, not just a random shiny doodad maker like I thought). For free. FOR FREE. This is nothing new for most seasoned players, but getting a Swiss-Army-HUD like this one is a necessity for everyone, and did I mention that this one is free?
