We have known for a while that our mom's fashion stipulation "no white after labor day" no longer applies in today's fashion world. However, this year's fall fashion seems to have quite a bit of white. I am featuring the white dress with a skinny black belt trend that was all over the New York runway for fall. http://www.glamour.com/fashion/2012/02/fall-2012-most-wearable-fashion-trends#slide=7

I actually think its more of a black and white or monochrome trend though and this is just a subcategory of a bigger fashion trend. White is the main color though and black is the accent color. I saw this in sweaters, suits, and dresses- White and Black for Fall 2012.
Black and white Patterns: http://www.glamour.com/fashion/2012/02/fall-2012-most-wearable-fashion-trends#slide=9
This trend is talking about collars, but what I see is more black and white: http://www.glamour.com/fashion/2012/02/fall-2012-most-wearable-fashion-trends#slide=6
Black and white Suits: http://www.glamour.com/fashion/2012/02/fall-2012-most-wearable-fashion-trends#slide=3

Analog dog made their first two mesh hair styles and I love them both. Queue brought her girly, wavy signature hair and made it her own in mesh form. It even has flexi pieces you can add to the mesh and I think those will be great for actually wearing and moving about in world. I chose to shoot my pictures without the flexi additions because one of the greatest parts of mesh is that I don't have to shoot around or touch up around "alpha flicker"- which is something that just happens to all designers, hair and clothing alike, when they use alpha textures on prims.

Pirate Arts is interesting to me because they are a real life clothing company (http://www.pirate-arts.com/) that have merged into Second Life (http://piratearts.blogspot.com/). Others have tried it and not been successful, but for the most part we have not seen the merge of RL brands into SL as I really thought we would be by this time. Car companies came onto the grid as well as Budweiser a long time ago but apart from their initial fanfare they seem to have done very little in the game. I really did think by this time in the game more of the real life companies would be forging into the market because there are some people in this game making a TON of real life money in the fashion industry. They just don't happen to be real life fashion companies for the most part or at least not yet.  


Que's mesh hair is all her own as is everything she does, all original design, but a lot of the new clothing I showed in this post is made from mesh templates. Just be an informed shopper and if its mesh template design clothing- don't pay too much for it! See more about that in this rant post.

When two big names in original mesh both have big sales, its time to go shopping! Leverocci has their entire store up to 75% off and there are some great mesh bargains to find. It might be a good time to go get another color of that favorite piece! Jane, on the other hand, has her pre-standard size clothing for sale and after the sale they will be retired forever. So if one of those original mesh sizes (fair, luscious, petite, plump) fits you well, this is the time to grab those great Jane mesh items before they are gone for good.

Chic is an event organizer company in second life that has led the bar for the best events organized by the best people and shown SL what we could expect from a professional company. I have enjoyed so many of the events over the last two years. It seems fitting that to celebrate their second birthday they of course organize an adorable event with small cute boxes of select items from their favorite stores arranged in an octagon, Chic Management's 2nd Birthday Event. I really enjoyed looking at this event and here were my favorite finds:
