we shall resolve

Upon first arrival at Serpente Signature Designs, one is taken back by the unusually beautiful shop format. Sprawled elegantly over a hillside, Designer Dragonfly Serpente's fashions are displayed stunningly against swirling iron racks, shaded mainly(if you can see shadows that is) by humongous detailed tree which is planted directly in the center.

While browsing Dragonfly Serpente's unique designs like the gorgeous Fire Princess gown($300L), a v-neck, long sleeved top with optional layered skirts, both slim and prim, be sure to take some time to enjoy the beautiful waterfall, or perhaps take a ride on the large wooden swing hanging from the towering tree. But don't spend too much time daydreaming, or you may miss such elegant fashions like the Black Madam($250L), a slim fitting dress, long sleeved with poofy train attachments. Making your way back up the hill, make sure you grab a peek at Dragonfly's beautiful Wedding Dreams gown($1200L), a classic fairy tail wedding dress with low cut top, sleeve/shoulder details, pearl necklace, earrings, bodice and slim and prim skirt choices. A gorgeous gown suitable to any girl that wants to feel like a princess.

For something a little more casual, Serpente signature Designs also offers a variety of more casual wear like the Faded Jeans series, an amazing deal at only $25L per colour, or the Flowers Shirt, a super cute wide v-neck, long sleeve top in soft colour options for only $15L.

Overall, Serpente's Designs are an elegant mix of classic and modern rolled into outfits that will make you feel both pretty and sexy. Much like the shop layout itself, you will feel you're in a fairytale, and after all, isn't that what SecondLife is really about?

The eagerly awaited Spring collection from Larosa Kohime has finally arrived, and if you're a fan of LaRosa, then you will definitely not be disappointed. Larosa, once again, manages to offer SL residents unique, stylish fashion wear at ridiculously affordable prices, maintaining her everyday girl designs that are not only detailed and stylish, but elegant enough for those with the pickiest of tastes.



So what does Larosa's Spring line say? Well, it could simply be summed up with words like, colourful, fun, energetic, light, pretty, sexy and did I mention colourful? Skirt, Tunics and flexi tops with wild patterns seem to be the focus in LaRosa's new line, with beautiful designs like Sex and the City Outfit($50L) with short skirt and long flexi sleeves, complete with heels! Or the Lady Session Superpack($129L), a total outfit package complete with multiple optional top, including flexi tunic style, midriff or bikini, with just as many pant options you can't go wrong.


For something a little different, the Trendgirl Outfit($50L) is an adorable flexi skirt combination with optional shorts(can be worn with the skirt), scarf, hat and boots! Most flexi bits in the Trendgirl are scripted and re sizable making this outfit a huge bargain that simply can't be missed. Also in the Lady Session series, the Lady Session 3($99L), is a wonderfully blue coloured multi-optional top with beautiful flower print and your choice of denim bottom options. Continuing in the amazing outfit deals, LaRosa's super cute SummerLove($50L) is a unique low breasted top with open vest attachment complete with buckle detail, prim hat, and knee length shorts with prim cuffs.



If you haven't been to LaRosa's in a while then stop by and check out all the wonderful designs, her outfit combinations are detailed, stylish, and in most cases, it's like buying 8 outfits for the price of a shirt! Spring is in the air, even in SL, so why not celebrate it by dressing up your avatar in the latest spring fashions by Larosa Kohime herself! :P

Sascha's Designs, owned by SL designer Sascha Frangilli, specializes in gowns and formal wear. Offering beautiful and luxurious dresses for prices unparallelled in SecondLife, Sascha's Designs is two floors of stunning, original creations draped across every wall in every style imaginable.

From more simplified, but just as intricate in detail, designs like the Frutella ($300L per colour), with its optional sleeve pieces and choice of reg or flexi skirts or the elegant Bella ($400L per colour), a low-cut satin finish gown with shoulder shall and long flexi skirt, to slightly more elaborate pieces like eye-catching Roxanna($400L), a gorgeous black gown with lace trim detail, matching scarf and 3 different skirt choices. Speaking of lace, Sascha has you, and your skin, covered in all your favourite fabrics. The amazingly detailed Antarctica($400L for each colour) with it's simply gorgeous snowflake pattern lace top, a pattern which brilliantly flows down into the flexi floor-length skirt as if each flake were gently floating to the ground. Or if you're more of a satin lover, then beautiful designs like the Evi($400L for each colour), a wrinkled finish satin gown with prim shoulder collar, and 3 flexi skirt options, are available in so many wonderful styles, it would be impossible to list them all.

Of course, what's a formal gown shop without wedding dresses? Well, naturally, Sascha has that covered as well, and beautifully i might add. Tucked away on the northern wall(don't forget to grab a peak at the adorable and sometimes hilarious slide show of gorgeous RL Sascha and her just as gorgeous family located on the stairwell!) are a few of Sascha's Designs' classic wedding gowns, like the Obsession($800L), a tremendously detailed strapless upper top with optional flexi dresses, tiara, train, veil, bouquet and more! Or the Enchanted($800L), a stunning top with beaded waist and trim/straps detail that carries into the flexi skirt options, also with tiara, train, veil and bouquet you just can't go wrong.

So if you're looking for an amazing dress for that special occasion in SL, whether it be a night of ballroom dancing or a night as important as your SL wedding! Then look no further than Sascha's Designs, where quality, detail and amazing prices come together under one pixelated roof.



Kayleigh Hendrassen: Hello Sascha, i must say it's a pleasure to be able to speak with you, from visiting your shop and getting to know your style and designs(and perhaps maybe a lil profile stalking), i feel like i know you already. lol.

Sascha Frangilli: Lol, well that is a surprise as I only admit on my profile to the fact that I fart, drink and swear in RL.... ;-)

KH: Let me start off by asking where your inspiration, and obvious love, in regards to the design of your dresses, gowns and evening wear stems from?

SF: inspiration is just a word, I search high and low on the internet for textures that I can use, adjust and modify in all possible ways to create a dream gown.
I guess there is in most women, a little barbie hidden and this way I can let her out here on SL.

KH: Your gowns are stylish, elegant and detailed, yet somewhat simple at the same time. Do you purposely focus your talents in specific areas when you design, in order to keep your quality up and your prices down?

SF: No, not at all. I simply do not like overelaborate designs. I am like that in RL as well. Stylish but not too elaborate. You can create class by less and not always by more. And the prices just have to do with the fact that I am aware that these are pixel dresses and I just do not want to ask too much money for it (and yes, with the financial crisis going on, it is nice to have cheaper but quality dresses).

KH: I get the feeling that you're a super fun, yet no BS type of personality, and I myself think fashion should in fact be fun! Do you think some people in SL take fashion, or perhaps themselves, a little too seriously?

SF: OH fuck do I ever! This is for godsake a pixel universe. I am so aware of the fact that I sit behind the pc in RL in my pj and bathrobe at night, that I sometimes cannot take all this fashion crap too serious. One of the reasons I put up a bit hidden, some pictures of me in RL - just to show the real person behind the avatar.

KH: So what's in the future for Sascha's Designs?

SF: Continueing the way I am. I like what I do, I hate pressure to create stuff all the time. As I repeatedly say, this is for fun. I never imagined that having a store like this in SL, could be sometimes so mindboggling busy. People are pulling and tugging at you from all sides.

KH: Last but definitely not least, what's the best way for your customers to keep up to date on your designs and new products? (Sascha, here you may put any groups, websites or anything else you wish to list.)

SF: I have not only my group (Sascha's Designs), but also a Subscribe-O-Matic put up in my store. Just click and become a member to get the notecards with updates.
Or if the need exists, my website is: www.saschasdesigns.blogspot.com

KH: Well, again, thank you so much for taking time away from your busy schedule to chat with me!

SF: Big kisssssssssssss and don't let the pixels get to you!

Singery's designs represent simplicity and functionality, they are pretty and soft and they are ideal for those of us that like to mix and match. Featuring fashions from designer and owner Sandryne Paster, Sinergy focuses on feminity by offering styles that celebrate the female shape.

If you're looking for cute tops that are versatile well you won't be disappointed; The sexy and adorable Sinergy Tank Top, or full sleeve Pullover($70L per colour), are ideal, and combined with a great pair of jeans, are great for a casual night out or perhaps a cozy night in. Sandryne's feminine touch carries over into her pant collection, her Capri's and Denims(both for $80L in each colour) come in a variety of unique colours and are cut low for that simplistic touch of sexuality. The styles don't stop there, Sinergy's dresses, like the strapless Tight Halterless Dress($100L for each colour), has pretty beaded detail on the belly and is definitely formal enough for those romantic SL nights. Similarly, the Satin Halterdress($100L for each colour) comes with two skirt attachment options for a loose or tight fit. And for after that night out? Well, Sinergy has you covered(well, barely) with their sexy lingerie sets(both $90L for each colour set). Set one comes with a corset and sheer bra with lace trim, while set two has garters, gloves and pattern detail.

Upstairs you will find Sinergy's collection of skins which are offered in four main shades, Pale, Latte, Almond, and Coffe. And just like all Sandryne's designs, her skins are soft and pretty, and for only $500L for each make-up shade (and there are tons to choose from with 20 in total + a bare and a smoky make-up version) you can't go wrong. Apart from it's amazing prices, Sinergy also offers lucky and camping chairs, as well as discounts on older stock! So whether you're new to SL or just like feeling pretty, Sinergy will definitely have something for you.



Kayleigh Hendrassen: Sandryne, first, of course, let me thank you for taking some time away from both sl and rl to speak with me.

Sandryne Paster: That goes without saying. *smiles*

KH: Before giving people more information about your shop, Sinergy, may i first ask how you got into SL fashion design? What was the appeal?

SP: It started simple, first with clothes(lingerie), after that i tried with casual fashion and then i wanted more and experimented with skins during lots of Photoshop Tutorials, and of course, i used a Base to start with and edited it to my likings several times. My appeal.. hmm, thats a good question, i just like to be creative i used PS and Poser before i got into SL making 3D art Work Fan Fiction of Star Wars.

KH: Sinergy focuses on the female form, the styles are simple, pretty, yet sexy. Are these qualities you enjoy only in sl, or have you brought some rl tastes into your designs?

SP: I guess some of both.

KH: I understand you're also a dancer, has this had an influence on your designs at all? You must get a lot of suggestions and ideas from fellow dancers. lol.

SP: In the beginning yes, i wanted to have more lingerie to dance, so i made my own but then i wanted to expand and learn more about making clothes. And well, i don't talk much about my business with my co-dancers, hehe, sure, i send them examples of my designs or help new dancers with skin or clothes.

KH: So what's in the future for Sinergy? Do you think we will ever see any outerwear fashion or perhaps Sinergy accessories down the road?

SP: I've planned to remove all my current clothes and make totally new ones(cuz my shadow/highlighting and wrinkles skill has improved). Hard to tell about the outerwear and accessories Question, that depends on the success of my business here and if my skill improves with prims, lol, they're really freaking me out. :D

KH: What's the best way for Sinergy clients to keep up to date on your designs and any future releases?

SP: For Groups its best to be in Fashion Consolidated, i don't have my own yet, not sure if anyone would join. :) I do have my own blog SinergyNewNess(http://sinergynewness.wordpress.com), plus, i blog on IHeartSL (www.iheartsl.com) which will be seen on the Fashion World of SL(http://fashionplanet.worldofsl.com) blogfeed as well.

Also, im selling retired skins on Xstreet my older skin designs for 100L https://uncensored.xstreetsl.com/modules.php?name=Marketplace&MerchantID=32240 (sort price low to high to get them easy )

KH: Thanks you so much Sandryne. I wish you and Sinergy all the best!

Upon first arrival at Alisa Wycliffe's Wicked Fashion shop I am immediately reminded of my home town of Toronto. Shopping at Wicked Fashion feels very much like many of the great clothing stores located on the Queen St. strip, and if you've ever been shopping on Queen St. you will probably agree. There's just something different about shopping in the city and if you happen to be a city girl, like myself, you will also agree that Alisa has definitely captured that feeling.

I suppose you don't have to guess what sort of product you will find at Wicked Fashion, but if you're into casual, hip, and comfortable city wear then this is the place for you. Numerous styles of tops, tanks, skirts, denims, and multiple outfit combinations decorate the walls of Wicked Fashion. The first thing to catch my eye is the Shortie Hoodie Sweatshirt($85L), an adorable short sleeve midriff zip-up sweatshirt with sculpted hood. Or you can purchase the set which comes in all three colours(red, blue, black) plus a great pair of ultra low denims($225L).

There's a hope of spring in the air at Wicked Fashion, Alisa's collection of tanks and tube tops will have you ready for those warm SL nights like the Stretch Tank Top($65L) with it's exposed tummy and fabulous creased details. Or the super sexy Satin Lace Tube Top($65L) with it's swooping low back and beautiful embroidered detail. Both tops are also available in a 3 colour combination and Wicked's Ultra Low Premium denims($175L for either). For you girls that crave short skirts you won't be disappointed. Wicked's selection of minis cover cute, sexy, and unique with styles for everyone like the Black Leather Skirt with optional bracer, or the Celtic Knot Skirt also with optional leg chain($95L for both).

With the right sense of style and Wicked Fashion's low price tag the outfit combinations are limitless. So, if you love simplicity mixed with style and detail, and are ready to bust into summer(who isn't??), then stop by Wicked Fashion and start the new season off right.


Kayleigh Hendrassen: Hello Alisa, i'm excited to speak with you, from one city girl to another, and after touring your shop, I feel we may have a lot in common... shopping! lol.

Alisa Wycliffe: Hi Kayleigh! lol, yes, I'm such a reckless shopaholic and I love checking out other designer's work. I'd love to tour your favorite shops sometime, I bet you know all the hidden gems!! :)

KH: Alisa, you've really captured that city feeling with Wicked Fashion, with your styles, and with the shop itself, what else have you tried to convey with Wicked Fashions in regards to city life and shopping in general.

AW: Well I am totally inspired by the look and feel of the boutique shops in the villages of NYC, with the exposed and/or painted brick and the beautiful hardwood floors. I really wanted to convey a realistic upscale shopping experience in my store that gives you that same warm and fuzzy feeling you get when you walk off the crowded city streets into those quaint little boutique shops. Of course, my main store is a bit bigger than most city shops but that's my fault, LOL, I'm just totally addicted to making clothes in SL and I keep expanding! :)

KH: You seem to have a love for cute, functional tops and clothes that can be worn in various mix 'n match combinations. Clearly this is another trait you've picked up being a city girl. Do you think the functionality and diversity with fashion carries over in SL?

AW: Oh I really think it does, and I offer a free pair of jeans with most of the top sets/packs to make sure everyone has that option. The black leather skirt is perfect with almost anything too, lol. I try hard to offer a good mix of designs that you would wear in RL, and some items that might be just a little too risqué for your RL taste.. anything goes in SL! :)

KH: I notice you pay close attention to detail, something very important with quality wear in SL, do you think you will try your hand at more sculpted items down the line? Your sculpted Hoodie is adorable by the way. =)

AW: LOL, thanks! I have new hoodie colors coming out soon, including a really cute pink version! But yes, I've already started including sculpted items in some of my designs, and I'm also working on designing sculpted shoes and boots too! Detail/realism in general is really really important to me, and designers like Redgrave offer me tons of inspiration. I have to admit I'm also a complete perfectionist and I'm known to spend waay too many hours in Photoshop working on a single piece just to get every little detail right. :)

KH: What is the best way for Wicked Fashion enthusiasts to keep on top of your upcoming collections and future designs.

AW: You'll get the most info about new designs, freebies, midnight mania updates, etc, by joining the "Wicked Fashion" group! In fact you'll get a group invite the first time you walk into the main store, or you can just search for it in groups (open enrolment). You can also track us down on the web at www.wickedsl.com! The web site is sort of a work-in-progress but it's coming along nicely, so far. Of course, anyone is welcome to IM me, too. I welcome feedback about the store and suggestions for new designs. :)

KH: Thank you so much for taking some time away from the city life to sit down with me Alisa!

AW: omg, it's my pleasure Kayleigh! Thanks so much for your time, and let me know when you want to go shopping! :)

Bijou, which is French for Jewel, is a gloriously large shop that's filled with beauty, elegance, and charm. Much like a beautiful jewel itself, and possibly the reason behind it's name. It's clear to see that Japanese owner Kotobuki Jewell(ah!), took a lot of care and effort to display her designs in an incredible aesthetically pleasing environment.

As I make my way to the new arrivals, as i usually do, the surroundings only serve to enhance the wonderful items on display. The first item that catches my eye is the extremely unique Vain suit($350L per colour - $1,050L for the pack), which can only be described as a thick tweed zip-up collared jacket with cinched waist an matching poofed shorts. Truly Japanese influenced. Beside the Vain, is the Hottie dress($310L per pattern - $620L for the pack), wildly patterned frilled mid-length(or short) dress with open buckled with optional pvc textured jacket. The next item I spot is the super sexy Gig($270L per colour - $945L for the pack), an ultra mini dress with draping details in the top and a gold disc wrap-around belt, which goes beautifully with its glittery texture.

As I make my way down the enormous stairwell, and under the huge white chandelier, to Bijou's main floor, and when i say huge, i mean huge. If SL had an echo, you'd hear one. The outfit combinations decorating Bijou's main floor are fun, wild, gorgeous and a little bit crazy, but all have that unique Bijou style. Plenty of wonderful layering in outfits like the Focus($260L per colour - $780L for the pack), a retro tight fitting stretch top with attached garters, short shorts, and colourful striped stockings. Or the Exceed($300L per colour - $1,050L for the pack), a doubled up spaghetti strap tank top with poofy pants that cinch at the calves. There is so much to see at Bijou you could literally get lost here. Jackets, furs, shorts, pants, dresses, bathing suits(one pieces too!), stockings, and even breathtakingly beautiful skins, everything created with a style so unique that every outfit at Bijou will make you feel like a precious jewel.

If you're looking for ultra sexy, ultra fabulous and ultra quality shoes, then ladies, look no further then Stiletto Moody's. High fashion is the immediate sense one gets upon entering Stiletto's shop and the store set up is ideal. Large, detailed replicas, modelling the just as detailed products, stand high on display table that are painted with the styles and colours offered in each of their beautifully stunning designs. Boots, booties, platforms, pumps, wedge. open toed, closed... I'm not kidding when I say there is something here for every girl who loves to be spoiled, of course, there is a price for fabulous, but isn't there always?

The average price tag for a Stiletto Moody original is $1,000L(give or take a couple hundred), of course, the prices vary depending on the style. For instance the gorgeous Patent Croc Tall Boots will run you $1,499L per colour where the Bitch Booties(so hot!) will run you $875L. You pay for quality when shopping here and the fit, as well as the designs are top of the line. Other amazing styles like the O Wedge or O Wedge Tie($925L), with it's gorgeous smooth chunky heel still holds that exquisite detailed look, or the extra spicy Sizzle Platform($950L), with it's thin strap/high buckle detail will turn everyone's head. Completely unique styles like the Slouch Boot($1,499L) with its leather finish and wrinkled details are absolutely amazing. There's more!

Wonderful new styles have arrived and definitely do not disappoint! The gorgeous bright red plaid Pinup Spike($1,099L) is a must have with its elegant chain detail, while the new, and extremely unique, Bare collection with styles such as Vivien($1,499L), Audrey($1,899L), and Greta($2,199L) which comes complete with their own foot and/or ankle, colour matcher, resizer, jewellery and more, are proof that Stiletto Moody is at the top of her game. Of course most, if not all, shoes include clickable menu options, that allow the owner to adjust the heel click, click speed, volume, bling, and AO with no effort. The details are impeccable, the designs unique, and with their patent red soles with pink heart everyone will know you're wearing Moody's. But be forewarned, you will be very addicted after purchasing your first pair... I know I was.

Bridal sets aren't the only eye stoppers at My Precious, their line of ball and formal gowns are endless.

But what's elegance without a little sex appeal, designs like the very leggy Rosanne($798L), or Noelle($1,080L), which offers two skirt styles if you feel like flaunting those sexy stems.

It your looking for pants sets then you're in luck, outfits like Sonja($488L), a beautiful white blouse with flexi sleeves that comes with both pant or skirt options, or for something a little more laid back, the Jovana($250L), a sexy spaghetti strap tank with midriff jacket and pants are great for those less formal events. Ladies can also find convenient items like Jewellery and shoes on the second floor, although the selection may be somewhat limited they're just as fabulous. No matter what brought you to My Precious, you're bound to leave with a smile on your face and a new dress in your hand.

Kayleigh Hendrassen: Thank you so much for speaking with me Agnes, I know your time must be precious(no pun intended - ha), especially at this time of year.

Agnes Finney: lol. Christmas is always some of the busiest time in SL. And I have been working on the new main store these days. It's a lot of hard work but fun. :-)

KH: As someone who has a formal coming up and two weddings, I feel like I've seen every gown shop in SL. My Precious is clearly in the forefront of quality. May I ask where you get your unique inspirations from?

AF: I get inspired from what I see around me. Dresses and jewels are my favourite. I do lot of research from RL magazines for ideas as well. I believe that popular outfits have to be wearable like rl fashion but more creative in the way SL offers.

KH: Did you study fashion or also design in RL? If so, was that what lead you to design in SL? And if not, do you ever plan to?

AF: Nope. but I have been fond of fashion since I was small. I draw sketches of clothing that I dream of wearing for pleasure. I was very excited when I knew that I can create any fashion items that I like in SL. That is why I started designing here. But well, yes it would be great if my rl schedule allows me to study more about fashion. I'm sure that helps me with designing skills.

KH: Fashion is clearly a huge part of SL, from a designers perspective, have you seen a lot of changes in your time here, in regards to style, quality and demand from consumers?

AF: SL fashion has its trend too, as I see. Having been here for two years, I could see people's expectation on a fashion item is rising. Dresses in cup cake style is still a main trend as you can see in the ballrooms. But I'm also glad to see that people are more willing to try creative designs. More revealing, shape-fitted dresses like mermaid skirts, long train skirts are a bit hit this year. This can be a challenge to designers here because more creative use of prims on the dresses are required to make such styles.

KH: What direction do you see My Precious and Agnes Finney designs taking in the future?

AF: Well, I hope to surprise ladies with more varieties of clothing in my store such as Victorian, period clothing. And since I am getting more interested in incorporating sculpties into my designs to give a more realistic look. So, I think that is what you might expect to see in My Precious.

KH: What's the best way for your present and future customers to keep in touch with My Precious' products and information?

AF: Become a member of my group is the best. You'll get to know about new releases and different benefits exclusive to my members. We are planning to have more contest, events and such this year too.

KH: Thank you so much Agnes, I really appreciate you taking time out of your busy schedule to speak with me!

Perhaps Bland isn't the greatest name for a clothing line, and to be completely honest bland was exactly what i was thinking upon first arrival, but after a brief walk through the shop I realized that that wasn't the case at all.

After rezzing you're greeted with several racks of various dresses and skirt combinations, their designs seem simple, yet there is a quality about them that seems to flow through each and every product at Bland. One of the first to catch my eye was the green polka-dotted Organic Dress($200L), with adorable short sleeved top and matching a-line skirt. Next was the just as simple, yet beautifully sleek Lucille Dress($200L), with short sleeved button up blouse and smart below the knee skirt that, I can only guess, was inspired by Lucille Ball. The Fuzzy Dress($200L), a strapless top/corset with attachable skirt that is as cute as can be.

Speaking of Bee's(pardon the pun), the Bee Dress($200L) is as simple as they get, a wonderful bright yellow number with sharp black lined trim. The rest of the dresses, all unique in their own right, had me anxious to wander through the rest of the shop. Cute blouses, like the Stripy and Polka dot Shirts(&150L) are colourful and fun, and the Stripy Skirts($150L) with huge button detail are definitely different. In the back are more racks with fitted pants and capris($100L each), and really cute tops like the Asian inspired midriff Orient Top($100L per colour), and the super exposed Bramble Waistcoat($100L) with double breasted button detail.

Bland also offers complete outfits with wonderful patterns and colours like the 'Good Morning Rainbow' sets including Tropical($150L), which comes with three shirt option and sculpted pants, 3 Nin Matsuri($100L), a super vibrant top/skirt set or other slightly different outfits like the Fancy Taxi Dress outfit($150L). bloody or clean, which include boots and a hat. Accessories, like Hats, Shoes, Glasses are also available at Bland and are all as equally unique. The quality may not be up to par with some of the higher end shops, but the prices and fun factor are definitely on Bland's side - the Subtle Dress 'for classy ladies' had me giggling every time I walked by it - so if you're looking for something colourful that puts a smile on your face, then Bland may be right for you.
