7.26.2014: Sunny

Hair Fair is ending soon and it was one of my favorite in many years. There were so many new designers! Though not brand new Milk Hair is a relative newcomer to the scene and is quickly becoming a favorite. I am in love with Santana!  It comes in texture huds, which I have become a HUGE fan of as my inventory is downright embarrassing, especially if you open those boxes.  I love the little lift provided by the bouffant in back as well as the pull in the back. It's loose and free and sexy.

Two other favorite events have been Season Story and Romp.  Pixicat is a store that I increasingly look forward to their new releases.  The designs are unique and it is obvious that so much effort was made into their creation.  The Summer Dress comes in texture huds, so it's kind of like a little fat pack, and I adore the braided straps. Glam Affair's Kallisto skins at Romp are downright sexy as are most items at Romp.  We have a lot of events in SL, some of which glorify sexualized body parts but Romp is broader themed event featuring items that help you show your kinky side.

Quick mention, Bliensen & MaiTai, a favorite of mine, has some new items that will be available at The Aloha Fair, which begins on July 28 and runs through August 11.  In addition to cute little rings and shoes she has the most gorgeous set of nails for Slink hands that are definitely worth a trip.

Color Challenge: Shuttle Grey

In RL I live in a northern climate and grey is a shade I know a lot about.  It's odd how I am drawn to it even in SL even though there are very few sims that are blustery year 'round.   The challenge for me was calling good enough alone as I have so much.  In the end I was happy with a casual look that included one of my favorite pants from Maitreya and a sweater from Baiastice.  The hair is a new style from Wasabi Pills and right now can be found at Fantasy Faire 2012.

Color Challenge: Bright Turquoise

It's been a few weeks since I've had the time to do a color challenge and this is a great color.  This spring is all about colors that pop and I found my best match in this well loved favorite from Picadi Jasha.  I miss that store and will forever kick myself for not buying every single piece of jewelry they sold when they closed.  The necklace is also a favorite from Kyccie's, another store that closed (is that how you know you are getting to be an old avatar?)  Oh for pities sake, I just noticed my stockings aren't sold anymore either though Shania Singh does have some of her cute socks on marketplace.

Thankfully I am not a complete washout as both my hair and skin are NEW!  Wasabi Pills newest mesh hair, Shiki is just so darling.  It includes matching hairbases and a HUD that lets you chose from many color options for both elastic bands and barrettes (separately).  I've become such a die hard fan of MissAllSunday's hair.  The lovely porcelain skin is from the new line, Leah, from Glam Affair.  Called Contessina, it is available at a special price a The Gallery Gift Shop. It includes skins for 3 different brow colors as well as with/without hair base.  There is a gift version available as well (an awesome gift!) as well as complementing male skin by Tableau Vivant (also has gift option).

Before I forget, the Pose Fair is under way and I am a huge pose addict like most bloggers.  The poses I am using today are all from Exposeur's new Blissful set.  RubyStarlight Writer, owner and creator of Exposeur includes both male and female versions of poses in the new sets, which is pretty cool.  Ruby is tip-top at pose making and I've been a loyal customer for ages.  Thanks, Ruby!
