Bare Rose could be compared to an enormous costume shop, but perhaps that's not being fair because the selections here stretch beyond mere costumes. The thing i love most about Bare Rose is that what you see is what you get, and what you'll see are amazing quality outfits filled with detail and layers. What you'll also see are the ridiculously amazing prices. In fact, I don't believe any of the outfits here are priced over $200L, most hovering around $150L, and these are outfits that could easily be priced triple that. For instance the Mist(and one my personal favourites), is a super sexy 18th century styled jacket/skirt combination with garters that retails for a mere $130L. Or the adorable Tradurian($145L), a plaid button up jacket with open collar and short flexi skirt, also with garters. The mens selections are just as vast, like the Samurai of Darkness($140L), a complete body plated outfit with cape. There are so many outfits at Bare Rose it would be impossible to leave without buying at least one. And with all their accessories, you're sure to find that perfect item.

One word that can describe Gritty Kitty is fun. Although, that wouldn't be fair considering it's so much more than that, Gritty's product is fun, funky, trendy, cool, hip, and sometimes hilarious(Astro Space Pewm Pewm Zapper anyone?? [$200L]). There's so much to see at Gritty Kitty with a wide selection of accessories like Glasses(Browline, Velma, etc for $150), Bags (Mark up, Tote, etc $200 - 300L), Belts ($100L), Jewellery (too much to mention), and many many more. The clothing at Gritty is just as cool, Tops, Jackets, Pants for both men and women come in various patterns and prints. Another amazing part of Gritty is their hair, more specifically their Hair/Hat combinations which are not only high quality but very well priced. As the owner of several styles like the unisex Zombie(only $150L!), modelled after Rob Zombie it comes with flexi dreads and a cowboy hat, with scripted goggles and looks extremely hot on both boys and girls. Or the adorable Bou($130L) with long flexi hair, bangs, and a beanie. There's so much more and you don't have to be a Neko to appreciate the quality and styles at Gritty Kitty.

If you're looking for that perfect old school look, then i suggest you take a look at what Bettie's has to offer. Specializing in fashions from the 1930's to the 1950's, Bettie's selection of clothing is not only fun and exciting, but also quite stylish. From the June Cleaver Skirt sets($450L for the set) all the way to the Miz Secretary Dress Suit($225L per colour). Or the Jazz Suit for men($250L per colour) to the handsome 1940's styles Tuxedo($350L per colour). If you're not in the market for a new outfit, then you're still in luck, Bettie's selection of accessories are the highlight of the shop. Shoes($200-300L), stockings($50L), and beautiful selection of hats($150L, $400L for the sets) are among my favourites. Plus, if you're in the right sort of mood, they also carry cool Prince Charlie, and Bagpiper kilt outfits for $1000L a piece. So if you're feeling retro and wanan dress for the occasion swing on by Bettie's, i'm sure there's something here to suit your style.

Located in the luxurious Life Is Beautiful shopping centre, Kalnins Fashion Sunglasses are just what you've been looking for - if you're looking for great eye wear that is. With styles too numerous to mention there is definitely something here that will suit even the most picky of shoppers(like me?). Starting at $275L and going as high as $500L per pair Kalnins' most impressive feature are the one click menu options. Adjust the reflection, the tint, set the glasses on your head, even activate the face light or auto-smiler with a simple click of your mouse. The one area I feel Kalnins falls short on is the 3 dimensional look. Up close the glasses look very 2-D, almost flat actually and there's no depth to back up the detail. Which is a huge shame because the styles themselves are unique and beautiful. From a normal distance though they look amazing and this writer believes the styles and options alone are worth the purchase.

I can't help but be biased when writing about FNKY & Cake as it's one of my absolute favourite shops in SecondLife. I mean, what's not to love about designs that are ultra high quality and just as equally stylish? Separated, FNKY offers more men's skins($1,850L - $3,000L for pack) and various fashions like apparel, shoes, hats, watches and more, but also carries several items like women's pumps($400L - $1,200L for pack), and unisex glasses($300-400L - $1,000 + for packs), all top quality. Cake is more female oriented with skins and shapes( avg $1,250L - $3,000L for pack), numerous fashion apparel, and glasses. Cake's speciality is hair, offering both men's and womens styles it is some of the highest quality SL has to offer. Their newest styles(and favourites of mine) run for $375L per colour and $3,000 for the packs. The hair is beautiful and very natural looking and you're bound to pull in a compliment or two... I know I've referred at least a handful of people since purchasing my first style not so long ago.

Taking the elevator up to Shine Jewellery is an experience in itself(why are elevators so slow and rickety in SL?), but upon arrival you're greeted by a delightfully quaint little shop. There's not a whole lot to look at, but it's jewellery so who cares! The store consists of original designs created by Shine Igaly that are unique to SL. Butterflies, Dragonflies, flowers, as well as some more simplistic designs Shine offers detailed pieces of jewellery that hold creative and cute, mixed in with some elegant qualities. The prices vary and average about $200L for the smaller bits like rings and earrings, while the larger pieces go for around $400-$500L. Complete sets of bracelets, necklaces, and earring can run as high as $1500L. Their newest release, The Ice Maiden set is a steal at $650L for the set, which includes 9 pieces of jewellery including a belt! For the thrifty gal, some items can also be purchased separately.
