A Glass of Red, Please

1 A Glass of Red Please sm

The 5th Birthday Round of Collabor88 is really quite spectacular. The designers have gone all out for this event, which is borne out by the near-impossible entry after 6 days and the quality of the wares. Another of my favourites this month are the Rowena Heels and optional stockings from fri.day. When Darling Monday paired classic strappy heels with optional lacy socks, she hit on a real winner!

I needed just the right outfit to showcase them, so how could I go wrong with this stunning jumpsuit from ISON in the purest red (also available at Collabor88) and this stunning hairstyle from NO.MATCH from Hairology? There was only one other thing I needed to complete the look…

A glass of red, please. And leave the bottle.

One more peek at these adorable peep-toes from Apple May Designs. And yes…a bit more 😉

Hair Fair 2016 is entering its second week. While the sims are still busy, it is now possible to get in directly. Do check out the styles from tram if you are looking for short, flirty styles. I picked up two, but there are at least five choices.

I still haven’t sent Chance yet, but I will before the event ends. After all, it may be a Gentlemen’s Club, but the lady rules.

Modesty

1 Modesty sm

The day that every Second Life fashionista has been awaiting has arrived: Hair Fair 2016 is open!

I was privileged once again to have early access, and I took full advantage of it (as usual). I will be flooding my blog with posts that feature items from Hair Fair over the coming days…maybe even weeks! No matter what your preferred style, there is something there for you – I guarantee it! And since a part of every purchase goes to Wigs for Kids, you can leave your guilt at the sim edge when you arrive.

You can click on the Hair Fair link above to take you to the blog – there are photos there of all of the styles, plus a SLurl to the sim that hosts each designer. There is a central landing point on each sim, but if you use those SLurls, you should give you a beacon that leads you to the hair of your dreams.

For the best way to try before you buy, join the free-to-join Hair Fair Demo Group.

Today I am wearing Modesty from Atelier Pepe. It is the perfect hat hair! If you have every shied away from buying a hat in Second Life because it is so hard to find hair to wear with it, get this style! It just so happened I received a new hat to blog for JfL Real Hats today, so it was serendipity that I found this hair. Just one click of the resizer on the hat, a very slight positional change, et voila! A great style for using with your chapeau!

I will mention that I got this hair by accident. I intended to buy a different style (Natural) from this designer, but it was mis-packaged. I have sent the creator a notecard to let her know (and I’m sure I’m not the only one). She wasn’t online when I contacted her, but I am sure she will rectify this as soon as possible. As it turns out, it was a blessing in disguise.

As for getting there, I have listed a SLurl to each of the four sims below. Also check the Hair Fair blog – there are two additional cam shopping sims. You can find all of the information there.

There is a group on Flickr for your Hair Fair photos, but I forgot to grab the link before I logged off. I guess you’ll have to check back later when I post the link 😉
EDIT: Here is the link to the Hair Fair 2016 Flickr group.
