Okay, SNATCH. Can Ivey Deschanel do no wrong? On current performance I’d say absolutely not, her designs are fresh and funky and just keep getting better.  The past week has seen a few new releases from Ms Deschanel, and they’re all utterly splendid.  For a start, I’m absolutely sold on the leopard print dress that she’s just released.  Perfect pattern and fit, and rest assured it’s totally non-‘Bet Lynch’ (Unless you want it to be! If you do I heartily suggest a cigarette holder and some Artilleri leopard print heels)  Ivey always ups the bracket and this is no exception, whereas some designers charge you L$250 for a dress on its own, Ivey sells you a complete package.  I’ve been wearing the dress with my signature bob hairstyle, ‘Patricia’ from ETD and the total look has left me feeling very feline-fine indeed:)
For those days when you feel decidedly ‘…’, which for me is usually Mondays, SNATCHprovides with a  perfect jumper, skirt and legging combo called ‘Meh’, which is ideal for slobbing around in..should you slob around in SL.  The slouchy socks are a great addition to the outfit and look tidy when mashed together with Tesla heels.  This look works brilliantly  when accessorised with hair, scarf and bag from Gritty Kitty.  (To be honest if you wanna dress Neko I always suggest to people that mixing and matching between Gritty Kitty, Snatch, Nekorifik and Dutch Touch will keep you in wardrobe happiness for years to come. The Neko style ethos is all about mash-up, but you have to choose the right stores in the first place to be able to pull it off correctly..these designers are ideal as your starters for 10!  Last but not least checkout ‘Die My Darling’, the latest addition to Ivey’s ‘Hunger’ line.  Gothic, vampiric and extremely sexy it’s sure to get you noticed!  This is blood red operatic ‘Interview with the Vampire’ wear, and comes replete with long black gloves.  Again, it’s an awesome L$250 for the entire outfit.  Madness really, why consider shopping anywhere else when you can buy clothes of this quality for such a reasonable price?

Fellow designers take note, when great style such as this is being offered at such great value prices you will have to pull out all the stops to compete.  Only the strong will survive..and challenges that stem from such competition can only be a good thing for SL consumers and designers alike.
