Style Statement this Winter ~ What are the shops bringing new?

It’s white again! Snow is sticking to the ground and we feel the shivers. We love to either play in snow or be in house by the fire, getting warm. A sip of coffee with a book in hand and laptop on the lap, sitting by the fireplace in a comfy couch is just what is in the mind. We wear the most stylish clothes; coats, boots, scarfs, mufflers, hats and gloves. So, which stores have got the trendiest wardrobe this winter?

My first step was to search the market place. Then I asked an open question in Facebook. Taking the directions, I searched through Second Life. I have segregated the stores for women, men and children.

The following stores have just been listed, without order of preference.

For women:
