Ok, its a new week, and once again Tatiana and I are going to be going shopping and checking out some awesome new or unrecognized stores. The stores cannot have been listed previously, they can't be one of the big ones, we want those jewels among the glass...
Also would like to point out this is not a classified, its just a critique of some of the stores we visit that belong to the community.
Ok, for sure we are checking out Sensual Casanova's stuff this week, but the rest of our dance card is free..
Each person can only advise us on two places and you cannot advise multiple times After there are 20 suggestions, the stores suggested will not even be considered.

So where's your blog? I want to read it! I'm tired of looking for that certain look and not finding it after hours of Tping. I was thinking yesterday that it would almost be worthwhile to hire a "personal shopper" to do my TPing for me  I have a landmark to give you, Volatile. It's a small new startup but the inventory is gradually getting to the shelves. It's called "Cin City" - catchy title, huh?

This is from Angel Cinquetti
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.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Oh!!!! Perfect! Ill be printing this off for my next shopping adventure! Woo hoo! Ive wasted about 2500Ls on hair that sucked (or more often hair that I didnt demo first) though really flex hair should be very clearly marked off from non flex in some of the bigger stores.. shoes.. my gods dont make me go there its more of a hassle here than in RL! Ive dropped another 3000ls on clothes that look horrid on me and of course are no mods (again my bad for not paying attention.. live and learn  , but seriously I swear sometimes it seem wildly different when I get home to try the stuff on than it did when I bought 'em. Thanks for doing the shopping for us!

LOL, I purposely don't post about some things, because I want to keep them all to myself. Other things, by well-known creators I will post about freely, no matter how much I covet them, because in all likely-hood, the other blogs are doing them too.
