Hoodies?
Try American Apparel.
I got a pack of 100% free clothes (over 100 items) and there were a bunch of hoodies, from Mimi Coral Designs, maybe a month ago or so....

Ok last week I was supposed to check out Peristeri Mall, but I missed it :(
Well I'm here now, and I really like the setup, the decor is completely relaxing unlike the typical "malls" i have come across here, I really like the naughty super hero outfit for women.. lol

I do have to say there is two great designers there, nope not going to tell you, you have to go and check it out.. lol

Kitty's Rampage was great, I got a great candy necklace there, sorry but I think it is completely cute.
There was another store but I was not sure of the name, the designer was pancake stryker and to say the least i really really liked them, they had some artwork there that reminded me of yellow submarine :P
The last store I saw in the area was indie. really neat and fun stuff, I bought the guys underware to wear for myself.. sorry guys but I'm thinking the look cuter on me :P they're ninja turtles underroos.. lol

VW, I found some GREAT Mary Jane clogs at Shiny Things with about 2" heels. I regard finding shoes with heels this low in SL as a minor miracle.

They also had a pair labeled "Vintage Pumps" in a nice 40's style. When you met me at the meeting on Saturday, that's what I was wearing.

And speaking of pumps.....that leads me to another question which I'll combine with a couple more in a new post....


Ok I have to say Shiny Things was a very pleasant suprise.. They had hard to find shoes and unique from funky all the way to elegant.. i would defnitely check this out.

Not wanting to toot my own horn but ermmm... You are in luck! I have *just* released a pair of flat maryjane ballets. You can see them here: /invalid_link.html
They are for humans, but resizable/moddable so I guess if you want them for your furry and slightly know how to use Edit tools, you could have fun there and make them big!
If you prefer platforms, check out some gothic lolita stuff around the grid, but they are more "fuck me" tho!

As for furries, yeah Taco is a great spot, you might also want to use Search/Places and type Skymall, this is the biggest furry place and there is TONS of stuff to check out, if you are lucky enough to be able to actually rez it all and not crash >__> hehe
Depending on what kind of furry avatar/accessory you need, I can help you, too!!


I have to tell you the truth elka......................
I've already been there and bought! and I have to say you have some of the best tshirts! and i really like the shirt pieces to make it look like i am wearing an oxford and a tie under a tshirt.. a+!
and yes its true guys she sells spray paint in her store so if you are lookin to tag.. ;)

I was lost in skymall to say the least.. So I stopped one of the residents(?) there, Gabriel Scalia, and asked for their fav spot, they said Werehouse.. Its kinda neat, I got the baseball cap.. hehe
I was amazed at the amount of avatars there are, from a bear to a gryphon, even a Raptor with animatinos and sounds.. That is way fun!

Feel the need to mention Taco's, they were very nice to me the other day I went in there and bought the cutest small pink bunny rabbit.. lol it hops and everything!

I took a break myself and went shopping last night. Been in kinda a different mood so wanted something new that wasn't quite as "cutsey" as I usually wear.

Decided to drop by Zabitan Assia's :FORM: store. He is the current featured designer over at Pixel Pinup and I must say I was intriqued after Canimal's writeup on his work.

Yes, his store is menswear...but OMG it is such GREAT menswear. And to be honest, I found nothing in the entire store that didn't look just as good on a woman as on a man. This stuuf is just HAWT! Extreme cool here folks. I just couldn't resist buying half his store. A definate stop for any of us that ever enjoyed wearing our boyfriend's or husbands clothes. Trust me, you won't regret buying there. Not to mention the prices are super reasonable...okay...unreasonably low really. Zabitan...you are robbing yourself man!

That is my find of the week.

Happy shopping.

If you like Bare Rose try on Paralax View when you get a chance, a bit more expensive, but also a fair ammount nicer clothing.

I have been in Sl about a year and a half now. Self proclaimed shopaholic. I have narrowed down that most of the things i love come from just these few stores.

1. NYMPHETAMINE.
Words could never do Paeoti's talent justice. Some of the most beautiful things ever known to SL. The details are amazing. ANtique dresses with all the right details and she seems to have this flex thing down pat too. I think i now own every dress in the store at least in one color. lol I am shocked she is not in this thread already. Maybe because its a rather new place.

2. DIGITAL KNICKERS.
I wandered in this store just recently while shopping at Nymphetamines. its on the same island. and i have to say WOW. gorgeous clothes, nice atmosphere, and Jewelry also. The new color changing chandelier earrings are a must have !!!!!!

3. REBEL HOPE.
WOW WOW WOW awesome things here too. The costumes are to die for. And she has everything from sexy lil dresses to all out formals and bridal gowns. ALso a hell of a nice person. She recently updated her old things to flexy. i had almost 20 of them and she gave me EVERY flex skirt to go with the outfits i already had. I was most impressed.

4. DAZZLE HAUTE COUTURE
i want everything in the whole store. Can we work out a deal Gin ?? lol
Awesome desgins and so many colors. The Baby doll dresses !!!!!! i live in these now.
Another one that has the flex thing down pat. No flying up showing your tushy dresses here. She also sells a NALA pack so if you want something in every color you can get it at a huge discount. less then half price most of the time.

5. LIQUID VELVET STUDIOS
Simple elegance at affordable prices. I love her stuff. Most at around $180 lindens for an outift. SOme of the fancy things are higher. But everything ive ever purchased here fits good and has really nice textures. I have one request for you ~~~~~ the playmate pictures you sold in THERE. I wish you had here too . I loved them.

6. NONNA HEDGES
Very feminine and lacy dresses. I love my Nonna outfits. They are a bit pricy, but the good thing i have found about that is that not many other people have them. And they are some of the best dresses in sL. nice details and you feel so sexy and girly in them.

7. BONEFLOWER
Ok a new fav, I wandered in here the other day for a sweater/ skirt combo i saw in new forums. You want unusual , this is the place. Nice outfits, great hair, especially the mens hair. She has 2 mens styles that are flex and long and just awesome.
Also something i never expected. Furry skins with makeups !!!!!!!!!! I never wanted to be a furry much until now. I must be a Cheetah. No furrys parts, but the skin is so luscious you dont need them. More kind of a cross between a human/cat. And just awesomely done. Very Sexy. I cant wait to see more at BoneFlower.

8. SYLFIES SHOES and SHINY THINGS
THis is last one i promise lol
There is NO OTHER shoes like Sylfies. The details WOW !!!!!!!
SInce i bought my first pair, i wear mostly hers now. No others even compare. Also some sexy boots too. More Sylfie more more more !!!!!!!!
Shiny THings, i was in there this week and they altered my SYLFIEs only rule. lol Gret casual shoes here, nice sandals, clogs, mary janes etc.
