The Deep Freeze

Well, it really should be freezing here in NY, but it is rather mild in comparison to Winters past. Don't get me wrong, I am NOT complaining, but something is definitely amiss. So, for my first post of the New Year... Oh! Happy New Years everyone!!! I wish you all a very happy and healthy 2012! I should have an 'official' New Years post up later today  ^^ Anyway, I figured I would feature some cozy looks from a couple of my favorite designers. I have a 'HERRINGBONE MAXI SKIRT' & 'ANNIE SWEATER', from Applonia Criss of CHANTKARE. This outfit is gorgeous!!! You have an oversized and super comfy wool sweater that is mixed with an beautifully tailored maxi skirt. Winter wear at it's most fabulous.
I also have an amazing and recently released 'Sangos Winter Cardigan', which was created by the uber talented Maya Levane of Tokidoki. This fleece lined wool cadi is the perfect winter staple and you can wear it with or without sleeves too. It comes in 6 beautiful colors as well. Maya also released the cutest new handbag that is also known as the 'Damsel Basket'. I just adore this wicker textured bag that comes in 3 different colors.
So, please check out the pics and here are your limos:

There's nothing you can hold, for very long...

I decided to take a quick detour from all the Vintage Fair collections, in order to show off some new creations from a fairly new designer. This talented content creator is Echo Requiem of Echo. I was really impressed by her beautiful hand drawn textures and carefully rendered prims. Her designs are classic staples that no woman in SL should be without. Plus, all her designs are 100L or less! You can not beat that! I really can not wait to see what Echo will be coming out with in the future. She is definitely one to watch. I highly suggest that you check-out all her fabulous creations at Echo.: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Feyth%20Island/226/49/22
I also could not help but mention that brilliant skin designer, Alexandra Barcelos, just released a gorgeous new skin line called 'Laika'. The make-ups are stunning! This skin has different feel from her earlier ones and I love it! So, please do yourself a favor and try on a demo. Here is your limo to :Filthy: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Red%20Wing/121/86/2492
