[review] [CRAP] Big Knit, Big Collar

Tenshi Vielle from [CRAP] has been playing with sculpties and the result of that was some cute knit sweaters. The knit are available in black, white, red and blue and include the top (jacket layer) and 4 sculpties: the collar, the waist and the arms. You can also wear them without the arm and waist sculpties and the knit will also look great.

[review] *Punch Drunk* Subtle Gift Bag

Iris Seale from Punch Drunk has made a new outfit:
It has a lovely cream cashmere sweater with sculpted sleeves, a box-pleated green tweed skirt with contrasting satin ribbon and teal tights. In addition to all that, you get a free sculpted bucket hat from [CRAP] so you can work on bringin' sexy back all on your own.
It was inspired by film noir detectives, who always managed to make tweed look cool and wear their hats at jaunty angles. It's perfect for when you need to appear classily sophisticated, yet unobtrusive.

Also, Punch Drunk is releasing Glam Rock Limited Edition for the Susan G. Komen Foundation. This outfit is limited to 100 copies. (I have mine!)

Next Saturday Metro Models will present the Unveiling fashion show:
The Unveiling fashion show is 12 noon SLT, Saturday Jan. 12th. and features OPIUM Everyday, SKIN 2.0, and Calla hair. The fashion will be a mix of older and newer items, with much of it previously unreleased.
This is in preparation for the new OPIUM Everyday store opening on Sunday Jan. 13th, at the Le Zoo sim. The store was open before but no new stock was added. On Sunday everything at the show will be ready for sale and I consider it to be the "official" opening.
At the show on Saturday the outfits worn by the models will all be for sale at a flat L$100 rate (which is a huge deal for some items!) It's a chance to buy before it's on sale to the general public on Sunday.

.:[AnaLu]:. new poses!

This is what some people do with their free time: poses! Yes, I have a bunch of new poses (and a few more to upload). Besides, I also have a new place in-world with a pose stand. The temporary place I have in 100Limite will disappear in the next days. So, please don't teleport there or you will ended up falling from 600m...
One of this days, the official blog will be added to the Fashion Planet of SL and I will stop posting here about the poses. Meanwhile, you can sneak or even subscribe to the blog to keep track of novelties.
Oh... one more detail: the packs (with a discount, of course) are only for sale at OnRez, not in-world. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Feedback is highly appreciate!
