6.9.2014: Essential Summer Outfit

I saw this dress in green on my friend, Qopi, and I just knew I had to have it. The Wyeth Dress is from Deadwool and it certainly does remind me of the dress worn in the painting, Christina's World, from American Painter, Andrew Wyeth.  It's a shortened version of the very classic shirtwaist dress and I love it for it's timelessness.  The Cutout Sandals are from Le Primatif and I just had to grab the navy pair!  I have a hard time finding really good navy's in SL and these were it.  Plus, I've been loving all the adorable sandals that are out this summer for Slink bare feet.  Both of these items are available at half price at the current round of The Chapter 4.

Truth just released his new Oceana hair for the newest round of Collabor88.  The theme for June's Collab round is Lighthouse, so the items have been inspired by things nautical.  The ribbon has several different textures available in solids and prints and runs through the braid for a bit of fun!

DU! No, U!

This is how I feel when there is a Designer's United event!  Honestly, I adore this event and I have waited YEARS for it to return.  A fashionista's dream it is...highly skilled designers creating exclusive one-of-a-kind items that I treasure forever in my own special overflowing SL museum called Inventory.  This is why I can't leave SL.  Think what could happen!  The theme of the event this time is Surrealism so don't be looking for basic tube dresses here...they will not be found. Many Lindens were spread among many designers today and they deserve it because the one sad thing about exclusive is that; they can't ever sell the items again.  Today I am wearing So Many Styles Son of Man Coat, which I adore for it's tweedy vintage coat ala housedress style. Was so hard to limit myself to one!  The freakishly amazing and yet really cool shoes are from HANDverk, who really didn't need to have a theme to make weird things because that is what Daphne Klossvsky is..strange and how I love her for it. Oh also, the shoes can be purchased as a Slink med feet add-on or regular Linden feetage types.  I am wearing the regular shoes because Appy needs to come back and make all her socks for mesh feets.

Also, joy upon joy, Glam Affair released a new group gift today.  I wear GA skins almost exclusively and well the new Angelica with bright happy eyes was like so perfect for this outfit it defies belief.  I know!
