Early Morning Shopping...

Well I woke up 2 hours early today and couldn't get back to bed, so I did what any other clothes-whore would do... Go Shopping!

This mornings first stop was Stellar Designs to see what their policy on handling exchanges is. This was disappointing... Their policy allows no refunds, exchanges, returns, and no exceptions... Gesh... I want to try some of your other outfits, but I'm not sure I want to deal with absolutely no returns or exchanges... Sometimes it looks good on the model, but not the AV... Less of a problem with the real world, but in RL we can exchange anything that's not damaged!

Then I went looking in my list of shopping 'targets' and headed over to Nomine... I've been meaning to visit it more, but it always seems to crash SL... So I decided to give it another shot... I also happened to bump into a pair of Neko escort girls there shopping for skins... Personally I tried a demo of the 'china' skin while I was visiting the skin section, but the price of skins is a tad steep for me atm with all the other clothes purchases I'd like... Upstairs was more interesting bits and pieces... I wish someone would buy me the rose dress or that spider queen outfit (among many many others!) and those sexy animations looked awfully fun... But three crashes later I'd had more than enough of Nomine... Wish I knew why I can't really visit that lovely place...

So moving down the list I decided to take a look at Huddles which is a group that does scripting and HUD gadgets/toys. They have one particular device which I'd love to try out with handy AO features for dancing and all sorts of fun looking extras... Sigh, if only it weren't twice the cost of a full outfit from a normal clothes shop... Seems the perfect thing for a party girl...

It seems though that they have a deal with two more interesting stores which I then took trips to: Skanks-R Us & Nocturnal Threads.

Skanks-R Us has a small, but insanely well textured set of goth, leather, and other alternative clothes and accessories. I could easily drop a few $k L in there with few problems... Oh and they ask for suggestions on new items! I know I'd love a pair of shiny Gothic silver anklets... I'm not sure why, but anklet's are so hard to find... Does know one else want to show off their legs with a splash of metallic gleam...?

Next I turned to Nocturnal Threads. Nocturnal Threads seems a bit bigger than Skanks-R Us and (listen up guys!) carries mens clothes! Yes it's not all for the ladies here! Always wanted to match your Gothic sweetie, but couldn't find any good threads...? Look no further! Back to my area of expertise though... I could easily drop $20 USD in the womens clothes section without noticing and there is this sweet open front unisex jacket in the mens department I would kill to have...

I also ran into another neko at Nocturnal Threads, helping a man in need of some clothing assistance... And probably charging him a pretty penny for the much needed helping hand... ^_^

I guess this is when all the neko's come out to play! Tonight I think I'll need to do some shopping at Casual Kitties... I love so many pieces of clothing there it's always hard to go...
