Glorious (Winter) Days @ I.M.Collection

I invite you to go on an adventure at the I.M.Collection location. There are lots of fun holiday touches for your shopping and entertainment pleasure. Don't miss the gingerbread village and skating rink.

When you land at the front door, follow the path of red and green Waiting for Santa Promo stickers that will take you into the room full of Holiday Items @ discounted prices.
Have fun selecting holiday looks for all occasions, but don't forget this week's Glorious Days selection, Kristin Kringle, which is in the usual spot in the main part of the store.

Kristin Kringle set includes a waist-length sweater decorated with trees and reindeer to wear with tailored pants. Sweater and pants both come with 12 colors in the hud.
The Yamaguchi Skates [20 colors] are available in the Waiting for Santa room. They hold a simple skate animation that may work for you if you turn your AO off. I wobbled around the skating rink with the penguins using the animation in the skates. Watch out for the penguins! They're pushy!

(The monsters are really cute, but huge! I couldn't get a shot of myself and the adults together without resorting to all kinds of camera trickery, so I was glad this baby was willing to pose in exchange for a cookie.)

Designer Showcase December 5 - 20

December finds me exploring Midnight in Paris. I'm the sort of person who would go to Paris and end up chatting with the Bouquinistes, booksellers of used and antiquarian books and rare vintage postcards who ply their trade along large sections of the banks of the Seine, rather than admiring the Eiffel Tower.

Thank goodness the designers @ Designer Showcase keep me up to date and fashionable! This EXCLUSIVE ensemble from Jumo is just an example of the loveliness to be had in the December collection.

Annette Dress can be worn with or without the sleeves. The gem-trimmed belt is attached [Dress in 15 satin colors, 5 batik prints, 5 flower prints. Belt buckle in 5 metals and 15 gem colors]
Annette Earrings sold separately match the belt perfectly [5 metals, 15 gem colors]
