Black Flowers

The Black Flowers store in the 4B District.

Austin’s Angels are always looking for new styles to expand our performance wardrobe. Don’t ask us how many dresses and outfits we already have in our inventory. The number is off the charts. 

Sandy Hauster mentioned that Black Flowers was part of the Saturday sale on June 13, so I headed over there to take a look. I quickly learned that they had LauraX, not Maitreya. I couldn’t buy anything for fashion shots, but I was impressed with what I saw.

You’ll find the group join and gifts outside the store.

Black Flowers is located in the 4B District with Body Form and Black Box fashion stores. It’s in an adult sim. For a mere 5L, you can join the group and receive gifts. I found gifts on the right side of the store entrance.

Left, Ginger featured in the Saturday Sale for 70L and the Happy Weekend Sale kiosks.

At the landing point, you’ll find the event sales. The Ginger jumpsuit is strapless, with a form-fitting top and baggy pants, and costs 70L. Available in LauraX, PetiteX, Legacy, Perky, Bombshell, Reborn, and Waifu, in a variety of colors.

Roxy has a jacket and pants; a halter top is needed. Available for 315L.

I found Roxy at the front of the store. The short, colorful jacket is stylish and comes in black, white, brown, yellow, red, blue, purple, and dark pink. It costs 315L. The pants are sold separately in black, white, brown, and blue.

Valentina is a lovely strapless gown that drapes beautifully on your body.

Do a search for Valentina, a gorgeous gown with a front slit. I love how it drapes over the body. Available in black, white, beige, brown, gold, green, red, blue, burgundy, purple, pink, and hot pink.

Ghee

Ghee’s main store entrance is located on Qeestein.

For years, I’ve loved Ghee’s clothing, made by Warm Clarity. Beatrice Serendipity owned it after her, and now Sophia Paez Serendipity, her SL daughter and real-life friend, owns it. Sadly, Beatrice died during the pandemic.

Besame Dress for Lara with (Gos) Lady G. Platform Pumps, Truth hair – Mina. Glasses by LQC Barbados – Summer set.

I thought if I were going to write about women’s fashions, I’d start with my favorite stores. Over the years, I’ve invested money in the latest styles and took time to walk down every aisle to see what’s featured.

I clicked on Ghee’s landmark and was happy to see it was still there. 

Thirty-four group gifts are available on the left wall of the center section of the main store. 

 

First, the basics: it costs 250L to join Ghee’s group, but the group gifts are worth it. The group join link is at the entrance, on the left side of the center counter. There are 34 group gifts on the left wall. Behind the counter, there are numerous items priced from 1 to 10L.

The Norma Tea Dress is a Maitreya Laura exclusive and includes a HUD for the belt. Wear with open-toed heels.

Instead of listing all Ghee’s merchandise, I focused on the outfits and their classic style. Ghee offers vintage clothing to make you stand out. Anyone can dress casually, but an outfit from the 1930’s to 1960s is darn right adorable. So, check out Ghee’s Besame Rockabilly dress. It comes in Graphite, Lilac, Bluebell, Vanilla, Sugar, and Scarlet. Wear your hair in an updo and accessorize with heart sunglasses. The Norma Tea Dress is strapless and knee-length. It comes in Meringue, Licorice, Lipstick, Porcelain, Frenchie, and Bubblegum. Cashi is perfect for a holiday gathering. Of the four available textures, I liked red, white, and green. Next to it, you’ll find the winter edition of Malva, which offers a more tailored look for business casual. It comes in three textures. Snowflakes was my favorite of the three. The pattern is sweet and stylish. 

Windlight Shells Gown comes in teal, fuchsia, red, and purple. This formal gown has an operatic style.

Ghee’s formal vintage-style gowns include Windlight Shells Gown and headpiece, which is like a work of art, with its colorful array behind a mermaid-style gown.

SS16 Maxi Dress is rigged and comes in various early body sizes and one-size fitmesh. Reminds me of a metallic oil painting.

In the Outlet store, there’s a tailored suit with embroidered details in Azure, Pitch, and Fiesta. A Maxi Dress Special Edition Noir comes in rigged mesh. 

 

La Corolle Vert features a HUD in six vintage tones of green that whispers Paris in the 1940s.

La Corolle Vert is Parisian, and you can also purchase a matching hat. The color HUD features variations of green. 

 

 

In a back room, you’ll find a more erotic selection of clothing and footwear. I loved the Wanda Catsuit and the Darkness short leather dress, but couldn’t find them displayed.

 

Enjoy,
