Style Statement for this Winter- Debby Sharma Reporting…

It’s white again! Snow is sticking to the ground and we feel the shivers. We love to either play in snow or be in house by the fire, getting warm. A sip of coffee with a book in hand and laptop on the lap, sitting by the fireplace in a comfy couch is just what is in the mind. We wear the most stylish clothes; coats, boots, scarfs, mufflers, hats and gloves. So, which stores have got the trendiest wardrobe this Winter?

How to Wear Hats and Scarfs for Fall and Winter -Tea Couturier Reporting...

      

Hats and scarfs are great ways to accessories your outfits and keep warm this fall. However, how do you accessorize these items well and still remain fashionable?

 To do this you have to look at the color palette of what you are wearing and also what style you wish to add these accessories to what you are currently wearing.

For a casual look I think you can get away with wearing something fun and not too formal or casual. The SG- Helsinki Scarf  comes in 5 different colors. It is warm and also suitable to be worn with any casual fall outfit.  Priced at only 10L, it is perfect in price for some added fashion flare.

How to Fix and Alter your Hats, Scarves and Clothing to Fit You- Tea Couturier Reporting.

Scarves and hats can be very hard to fit over hair in SL. If you have your own hair peeking out of the hat, it either looks small for your head too big when you try to modify it. That is IF you are able to modify them.

Here are a few of my tips on getting that right look  that fits.

In Second Life it is best if you are going to wear a hat to get one with a menu that has a resizable script in it. Most clothing and accessories have some type of menu which enables you to adjust them to fit you.  This is a good starting point.

 Some menus have restore back to shop size, this again is helpful  if you mess up you can just click this button and it will restore it to how you bought it. My tip is to wear the hat and see how it looks under your hair. Then touch the hat or right click and a menu should appear at the corner of your screen (on the right hand side).

Keeping Warm During the Winter Freeze - Coco Lierfatte Reporting...

It's that time of year when the air gets chilly, and the snow starts to fall. Tinsel is going up, mistletoe is hung, families start making plans on how to spend the holidays.

Whether your going skiing or just spending the holidays at home, you still need to worry about one thing. That is what to wear during the chilly months of the year.   

The first chill of the holiday seasons, are the best way to know that your going to need to bundle up.

 

Bundling up is essential. Plush scarves, comfy but fashionable boots, warm and soft mittens, are just a few of the many things you'll need. My favorite thing about the fall/winter season is getting to wear a soft and fluffy sweater.

 

Where to shop during the fall/winter season is a vital decision too. You can shop comfy or you can shop stylish. What's most important is that your comfortable in, because comfort is the most fashionable thing for anyone.

What's Hot for Fall? CeciliaRosalie Resident Reporting...

 From the beginning the title itself brings about the ETERNAL subject, which is important for every woman: New season, New fashion, New trends.

 

When new seasons arrive, all the magazines are full of articles about fashion trends and catalogues. What makes this article different is that is not just a catalogue or a list with nothing else to say. We will have a closer look on what's in fall fashion; the color pallet, and several styles.

 

Let's start with colors this fall.  Keep your eyes on these pantone shades: French Roast, a rich brown hue; Honey Gold, a burnished yellow hue; Pink Flambé, a vibrant pink hue; Tangerine Tango, a retro orange hue; Ultramarine Green, a cool blue-green hue; Bright Chartreuse, a cool yellow-green hue; Olympian Blue, a patriotic blue hue; Titanium, a cool gray hue; Rhapsody, a grayed-down purple hue; and Rose Smoke, a veiled rose hue.

 

Now that we have got the main idea about the dominant hues, we can move on to the specific and unique clothing styles which will be worn this fall.
