Snow Woe

A rainy Christmas is forecast for the UK, so no White Christmas for me. I will instead play in the pretty snow of SL. But it seems that even in SL snow can cause a few car problems.

Go-lightly or Go Home

I am a lover of classic movies. One of my all time favourites has to Breakfast at Tiffany's. Audrey Hepburn personifies style and class as her character Holly Golightly.

I was instantly reminded of Holly when I saw EMO-tions 'Resolution' hair. The hair is available at the
'My Attic' event.

Winter Warmer

A new release from Geometry happens too infrequently but is always worth the wait. The mesh 'Winter' dress has the look of a  sleek skirt and high neck sweater. The abstract design on the front adds a nice detail to the top. 'Winter' is available in  seven colours.

Autumn Leather

A staple item for most SL wardrobes is a leather jacket. There are a lot to choose from, but if you are looking for something more stylish than a biker jacket, head on over to J.H.C and check out the mesh 'Tina' jacket.


Available in four colours, black, brown, mocca and toffee. Two versions are included, gold metal and silver metal. This is a versatile item for your autumn/winter SL wardrobe.

Also new this week are the mesh 'Lori' skirts available in the same colours as the jackets. Together they make a smart leather skirt suit, either worn in a matching or coordinating colour. The jacket works nicely with skirts or pants. Mesh sizes XS to L are included.

The 'Willow' leather pants give the jacket a more edgy feel. Mesh sizes XXS to L are included and demo's are available in-store.


While I love mesh, I have not given up entirely on non mesh items. J.H.C has some great looking sweaters available to wear under mesh jackets etc. '*Leonie*  is a sleeveless turtle neck available in ten colours.
