A Summer Classic

The title of this post is a bit ironic, considering I am sitting in front of my computer in layers of clothes, trying to stay warm as the temperature hovers slightly above freezing. Although it is winter in Australia, Hair Fair 2017 is a Second Life summer classic that you can’t miss. If you click the link in the previous sentence, you will go directly to an incredible post that gives you not only a map of the fair, but also previews of the designs available, along with SLurls directly to the stores. After the cut below, I have a list of the store SLurls, but I certainly can’t match the work on the Hair Fair blog. It is an incredibly detailed post, but by viewing the images, you can easily work out your plan of attack. Once you are there, your navigation is simplified by colour-coded shutters on the buildings and guys, you can easily identify the shops with male styles by the hovering ♂ symbol above the store.

The hair I am featuring is from [DUE] at Hair Fair 2017 and is one of a huge number of short, flirty styles available this year. The fringe (bangs, wisps) are a separate attachment, so you actually have two hairstyles in one. It is a perfect summer hairstyle with a carefree look, and one of my personal favourites.

I have teamed it with two summer classics from Just *BECAUSE*: the shorts, which are now out at FaMESHed and the tube top that is still available at Collabor88. The shorts come in both a lace and solid version, so it’s a great two-for-one purchase. The tube top is nostalgic yet contemporary and a great, versatile piece for your wardrobe.

Make sure you check out the credits below to find all the details on some amazing summer classics.

New Beginnings, Happy Endings

I honestly can’t believe that 2017 is half over! We passed the winter solstice here in Australia about a week ago and are heading toward spring. July will soon be upon us.

The end of June is a new beginning for the mega-event, Uber. It has been open for just a few days with a Camping theme and *Just BECAUSE* has this great tank top that is designed to fit perfectly with a pair of shorts. Another late-in-the-month event is the subscription box, BishBox, which releases at noon on the 20th of each month. Those shorts I mentioned are from the June round and come in three delicious leather textures. It’s not too late to head to the BishBox Headquarters and grab your box (3000L post-release vs. 1500L pre-release).

The happy ending I mentioned is The Arcade, where you can pick up these adorable sandals from fri.day. What is happy about this? Well, for the next few days (until June 30th) you can easily get into the event to try your luck at the most popular gacha event on the grid. No desperate multiple TP attempts, no waiting ages for things to rez and all of the glorious gacha goodies for the taking! Well, for the buying. But let’s not quibble over semantics…

It’s all about the happy endings.

I Just Don’t Know

I just don’t know why some things happen. Whether they occur for a reason or if it is just random. Does karma exist? Do good things happen in threes? Does a black cloud hang over my head?

No details – sorry. I’m just in a philosophical state of mind and you are being subjected to my minor ramblings. Again, sorry. I know you come here for the lowdown on what’s new on the grid.

What’s new, in this case, is the Isa Bodysuit from JustBECAUSE. It is a new main store release and it is simply stunning. It comes in either a sheer or solid version with a delicate floral applique. I am wearing the sheer version in one of the ombre tones, which is exclusive to the fatpack. It clings in all the right places and it is worth splashing out on the full set; this is a versatile piece that can be worn alone or with a skirt, shorts or pants with careful layering.

Why are you still here? Why aren’t you out shopping? *shakes head* I just don’t know.
