I’m looking forward to my first winter in a snowy region in real life with a sort of queasy excitement. Shoveling snow, putting my car into icy snowbanks and all the other things the locals have told me I’ll hate have me worried. The one part of it I’m definitely excited about without question though is the opportunity to upgrade my need for Uggs from frivolous fun to necessary. Love them, can’t wait to see them in the winter wonderland I’m picturing in my head. With this as background, you understand why I actually squealed when I saw the boots to the left for sale by SF Design of Second Life (Blog, Slurl). As part of this same set they have a shearling coat which will go great with my RL and SL Uggs!
Eloh Eliot of Another Shop (Blog, Slurl) released some skins that look great and at just L$100 for a whole batch of skins, brows, makeups, a shape, seriously, my mind boggles. (yes, all of that is just L$100!) The Demos are actually worth a trip too. Instead of coming with DEMO across the forehead you get an avie with bad teeth and a green tongue. I went to the shop to take a look and there was a mob forming, so I think that word is getting around about this great deal on some wonderful looking skins, or could it be that bad teeth and green tongues are coming back into style?
A couple of quick items I found; Nicky Ree (Blog, Slurl) has some new things on her blog today, including one outfit that she made in conjunction with Roslin of Tête à Pied and Miriel Enfield. The look is called Snow Queen and it looks gorgeous. It’s nice to see a regal and mystical winter item, especially from a team like that. Also, ETD (Blog, Slurl) has some new releases today, six new styles, four for women and two for men. I have to run there and take a look at Nadia, as I love Elika’s braid work and scarf up those designs when they come out.
On the Blog front, this week we added a bunch of good new sites, including The Dressing Up Box which is dedicated to costumes in Second Life. We also added First Flower, which is a shoe site, Aphrodite Outlander a fashion blog, and two designer blogs-Pushbutton Industries and Alchemy Angels.
Finally, it has been a long road, but I’m nearly done sorting and sifting through our extensive blogroll. There are still some sites I have to visit and some more I’ve put into the wrong categories by accident, but it will be all done by my next blog round-up for sure. Hopefully you will find the new organization a bit easier to browse, and I’m sure that we’ll refine it more going forward. I’m not a technical person (ask Celebrity how many times I’ve crashed the blog all by myself!) but I think that you will be able to import our links to your site if you want to and have them updated as I update them. I’ll hunt down the facts and have more info for you next time.
If you have a blog you would like included in our list of links, send me an email (justinebabii (at) yahoo) or IM me.
