It's the eve of another new year in SL which means one thing - party time! Here's a couple of gorgeous dresses sure to get you in the partying mood!

New from Somnia is the fabulous Christine Etheria Dress.

It comes in a range of dazzling colours and the bows are colour changeable to match the top, or add a touch of contrast. Look for it at Painted Lady.

Echo has an adorable new dress out too just perfect for a New Year's party.

The Grazioso Corset Dress is available in an array of delightful colours and each one has 4 different skirt options. There's standard skirt with black belt or coloured, sheer skirt with black belt or coloured.

I'm still rummaging through my blog folder and catching up on showing off some of the fabulous stuff around the grid at the moment.

Adam n Eve has the wickedly gorgeous Wicked Lace Lingerie out. It comes with two panty options - shorties and thong - and just looks stunning! It's definately the set to get his (or her) eyes popping out!

Peqe has the new Stab Heels out now. You certainly wouldn't want to be kicked in the shin by these babies!

In a range of stunning colours with a chunky wooden heel, these are real statement pumps that will look great with your favourite dress or just jeans and a shirt.

Time for a quick catch-up blog. I have been so distracted lately that I have been letting blogging slide.

First up, all the skins in this post are the stunning new Linn from Glam Affair. Their skins just get better and better! I love the subtle makeups and the full on glam ones. GA is definately a skin force to reckon with in Second Life, so give in and fall in love with Linn!

The hair above is Nadine from Tameless. It's my new "go to" hair and I have been practically living in it! this cute and sassy bob comes with resize script and colour change built in, along with a cute streak option.

From Stars Fashion is Curiosity, a sexy minidress with a hot leather jacket. Boots are also included. Necklace is L'Olimpiade from U&R Dogs.

More glamorous Linn skins from Glam Affair peek out from Norine, a new chic bob from Tameless. The edgey makeups and hair look fabulous with Tricia Elegant from Stars Fashion.

Two more stunning Linn skins teamed up with another new Tameless style - a swept back pony style called Jolene. Both look great with Majestic White from Stars Fashion.

Four Corners opens in a couple of days, and it's going to be a blast! Like any square, there are four fashion inspired corners - Delicate Damsels, Bikes and Spikes, Alluring Modesty and Delightfully Bright. In each corner you will find items from selected stores and designers fitting the theme. Chose your favourite, or love them all!

G Fields has these gorgeous Gina boots in 2 special colours at the event. These are Mesh and absolutely fabulous dah-ling!

The adorable dress is Not So Much Like Ballet from U.F.O. and is worn with the G Fields boots and hair is Cordelia from Love. The pose is one of the Bad Rep poses from Olive Juice, on sale at the event.

The Love hair is worn with the Ana top from Paper Doll, Studded Dye Shorts from Imbue and Allure earrings and necklace set from Je Suis.

Today I'm playing catch up with some new goodies from some of my fav stores.

sYs has just released their new Winter Collection, so here is a peek at a few of the incredible outfits you will find in store for the cooler months.

Look glamorous on any ski field or winter party in Ynuit. This sexy jumpsuit has a gorgeous textured sweater layer which you will just love! (After looking at the promo pictures from sYs, I think the bottom leg layers might belong to a different outfit, so be aware they may have been included in the pack by mistake and I didn't notice until I'd posted.)
