A little bit of festive clothing...

It's coming up to Christmas, are you ready for it?

The start of December signifies a very big change in all of the shops in Second Life - the Christmas sales! And, of course, all of the designers start making clothes and outfits specifically for Christmas to bring us all a little bit of festive cheer.

So let me share with you a couple of things I found around the stores that are perfect for the wintery weather this Christmas.



First let me show you the new Christmas items from Exodi. Specifically for this Christmas, Ms Beck has created some lovely little items for sale. In the picture above you can see the Exodi Unisex Mini Santa Hat and Melted Snowman cookie. These two can brighten up any outfit, giving a festive feeling with additional cute factor.

Next is what we will call Winter Outfit Number 1.



This outfit consists of a couple of my favourite wintery items from Fishy Strawberry and Surf Couture.

The Top - Fishy Strawberry Oversized Cardigan Brown

This cosy looking top is one of the latest releases from Fishy Strawberry. Coming in a variety of colours, the majority of the shape is made up with prim attachments, coming to a total of ten. The quality of the texturing itself is good and the prims run smoothly into the rest of the texture, making for a very professional looking cardigan.

The size of the cardigan makes up for the fact that you can't fit anything else on - unless you wear trousers on the underpants layer! Although wearing nothing else you still look cosy and warm, with just that little hint of sexy.


The Boots - Surf Couture Elsa Boots Stjordal

These boots are now one of my favourite pairs. Coming from Surf Couture, this particular pair came as a special from the Fifty Linden Friday group. However, instore these boots are available in a wide range of colours at a very reasonable price.

The quality of the boots is outstanding, with the ability to change the colour of two sections of the leg warmer once bought. They have a realistic leather and wool appearance and the prims fit nicely together.

Definitely a buy not to be missed. Especially right now, in which Surf Couture have currently got a Christmas sale on!



And now onto Christmas Outfit 2. This outfit is made up of items from Emjay, Argrace and Kitties Lair - a store I have just discovered with some lovely shoes.



The Top - Argrace "Joy" Black Ladies

This coat is one of the cosiest I have seen on Second Life so far. With a lovely puffer effect and a gorgeous fluffy hood, this is the ultimate Christmas coat. It comes in a variety of colours with a variety of different options for wearing, including different attachments for the hood and a long and short coat option.

You also get the option of wearing the sweater - that you can see in the picture above - or not. If you decide you'd like to wear the sweater, it is built into the jacket layer with the rest of the coat. However, this means that other tops can fit easily into this outfit to add a different flare or taste to the whole outfit.


The Trousers - Emjay Super Dark Jeans

Made to a very high quality, these jeans come as a variation of many of the Emjay jeans. They have additional prim cuffs which fit smoothly into the rest of the texture and leave a very smooth, professional appearance.

As you can see, there are a number of ripped sections within the jeans, leaving a peek of sneaky flesh showing through from underneath. A lovely, high quality piece of clothing suitable to wear with any outfit.


The Boots - Kitties Lair Boots Venice Black

Stunningly elegant and well textured, these boots add a little finesse to the entire outfit, with realistic leather texturing and lovely small tassles hanging from the back of the calves.

This is the first pair of shoes that I have bought from Kitties Lair and I must say I'm impressed by what I see. The texturing and prim work is professional and good looking with the prims lined up nicely so that the two textures blend smoothly into one another.


The Accessory - Amerie Umbrella Black

Last but most certainly not least is this lovely umbrella that I picked up from Amerie. The shop was a chance find, but I'm glad I did. The texturing itself is lovely, very detailed with a nice delicate feel to it, making this umbrella most definitely a ladies umbrella.

Adding to the elgant feeling of the boots, this umbrella is ideal for rainy days and emphasises the feeling of winter, giving your avatar something to protect them from the rain or snow!
