Hi from New York!

New York... The american fashion capital. Home of Vogue, Anna Wintour, Fifth Avenue, Madison Avenue, SoHo and all those trendy neighborhoods. You would expect the sim representing that fabulous city that I happen to visit once a year to be fabulous and inspiring like it’s RL counterpart. Unfortunately, it just looks like every other New York/ big city sims that exist in SL. In fact, if it wasn’t for the mini Statue of Liberty and the too-white Public Library, which I wouldn’t have recognize if it hadn’t been for the books inside the building and the lions on each side of the stairs, I wouldn’t have recognize NYC.

Anyway, on with the stores. Those were also a bit of a deception after Paris and New Delhi, where nearly everything impressed me, even if it wasn’t necessarily my style. I don’t know if it’s how the items were placed in most stores or just that I was a bit tired after looking around two sims in a row taking notes and was starting to get a headache for staring to much at my computer screen, but nothing seemed to hit me as a must buy, except when I arrived at LVS and Co., DeLa and Phoenix Rising, where I felt a sense of relief as I knew I would find something I liked in those stores. I’m not saying you should skip every store. If you are into more urban clothes and revealing clothes, you’ll be a happy camper in CF New York.

Now the store’s list:

- N’Vhe

- LVS and Co. (Fantasy clothing, including an SL version of Alice’s dress in Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland which is only 200L$ if I recall properly)
