New Hotness 11-15-07

Hello all, Ilya here again with more new shiny to satisfy your SL shopping urges. Today I’ve picked some new items that are appropriate for fall. (I know, it’s summer all year round in SL but just follow me for a minute, ok?)

Let’s kick off today’s post with some gear for the guys. Now I think these argyle sweaters from DragonFly show that a classic piece of design can be fun, casual and fresh when paired with some nice jeans. DragonFly sells the sweaters bundled with a color coordinated t-shirt and black low rise jeans in 6 combinations. (Sweaters are also sold separately) I wish Mel was here so he could model these, the pics really don’t do this look justice. Hot

Here’s a tip men; instead of the same old t-shirt consider a more upscale look by pairing your jeans with a dress shirt, classic sweater, or a nice blazer. Darker washes work better with a more formal top half. You’ll get a look that’s casual and comfortable, yet sophisticated. Trust me, us women are tired of seeing all the shirtless, tattooed action hero wannabes on the grid. If you want to stand out, dress up.

Next a little something for the ladies, a cool retro look from Ciera Bergman of Vitamin Ci. Her Novelty Separates have a definite 70s feel, but are updated with a chic modern sensibility. Available in 9 patterns as individual pieces or in a fat pack that includes them all. Shown here paired with Vitamin Ci’s really nicely hand-drawn corduroy pants and you have a huge number of possible outfits. Stylish and versatile, who could ask for more? Check them out at Vitamin Ci’s main store in Hefferoo.

Elle Inc. just released these fabulous shirt dresses in colors that are perfect for fall. Not too loose and not too tight these dresses will make you look sexy and stylish. I like the detailing and the nice texturing on these dresses. They can be dressed up with accessories (say with some nice jewelry, heels and an evening bag) or down (with tights and boots) for a look to fit about any occasion. Available for just L$125 each or the fat pack of all colors for L$700. You can find them at Elle’s main store.

Has that autumn chill in the air got you shivering a bit? Do you need a little something to keep you all snuggly and warm? If so Filigreemotion has just the thing; their new color changing Winter Set for both men and women. The set includes a cap, scarf, armwarmers and legwarmers. They look very toasty and are the finishing touch for your cold weather style. I like them because the color changes are done with a simple menu system–no remembering chat commands or spamming the chat channel. Yay! Pick them up at the main Filigreemotion store for L$225.

PixelDolls is one of my favorite stores and I was happy to discover that store owner/designer Nephilaine Protagonist had just released these great looking tops. Wraith tops come in 6 rich colors and illustrate what I mean by looking sexy without looking trashy. The Wraith’s sheer top shows enough skin to be eye catching (check out the plunging neckline and open back), but it’s not over the top. (No pun intended) The colors are rich, the texturing and details fantastic as you would expect from one of SL’s top designers. They even come with prim sleeves to fight SL’s horrible “tight sleeve syndrome”. I liked the Wraith so much I had to buy it–you know, for the sake of the blog

Anyway…you can pick up Wraith at PixelDoll’s main store at Port Seraphine for a very reasonable L$150 for all colors.

That’s all for now. If you know of any new fashions or accessories that you’d like to share with your fellow SL fashionistas please drop me or Mel a note in-world. Also, please leave a comment and let us know what you think!
