Jill Closing Sale + Platinum Hunt + Vinyl Cafe giftie

I haven’t been a major fan of the clothing at  Jill, but wow, handing out freebies when your store is closing is a very nice “thank you” to your customers. And what is not free is heavily marked down. Hurry over, because the store is closing August 11th.  The outfit on the left is one of three freebies. The top on the right (with scarf) is only $50L.

Also featured: ploom Dot Hair from Platinum Hunt, Vinyl Cafe Group Gift Shoes, HeartSick skin from the Platinum Hunt.  Pose by Doll.

This week goodies: low Linden$ clothing, skin, hair

Wow, between the Cupcakes sim Bake Sale, the Zombie Popcorn Carnival, and Mango Mango’s $50L and $69L  midweek specials, I have so many new skins this week that I doubt I’ll even come close to blogging them all.

Dark Mouse in Etheria

I actually went to the Etheria grand opening on Sunday, including the fashion show. It happened to be dinnertime on the East Coast of the US, though, which meant I was running back and forth between the computer and the kitchen. There were a lot of items that I loved, although the price tag was a little high for my budget. I may go back and pick up a few things later. One thing that was really neat was the gifts that kept arriving in my inventory during the opening. I don’t remember other events doing that, so it was a pleasant surprise.

Dark Mouse features  some of my favorite jewelry designs in Second Life. Whenever the store participates in a weekly promotion, I try to get over there and pick up what’s featured (I like the new clothing and the hair as well).  I really made a beeline for the Dark Mouse items featured at the Etheria event. I’ve got more to show but here’s a start. The rest of the items are not from the event.
