Just When You Thought Your Lindens Were Safe

1 Summer Romance sm

Maybe you really did think your bank account was safe. Then the calendar turns over to the 7th, and not only does The Liaison Collaborative open, but so does a brand new event, Bon Voyage! And if you make it through those two events, the page flips to the 8th, and Collabor88 opens. Oh well, no use saving for a rainy day – go forth and spend now!

The Liaison Collaborative this month has tons of lovely things, as you can see from my hair, the lanterns, the stool, the gorgeous olive tree and my pose. Dig into my credits, and you will find all of the details on these gotta-have items. I’ve been teasing with stuff from this event, but now that it is open, you can go see for yourself.

1 Summer Sweetheart sm

Do check out my shoes from fri.day for Bon Voyage. This event, which runs for a full month (August 7 – September 7) is themed around a specific country. The inaugural round centres on Japan. Think kawaii, think adorable, think bunny-eared stockings to go with your heels! The stockings are optional so you can choose to wear the shoes alone, but with that wriggly little nose, why would you?

Even after splurging on these two events, makes sure you save a few coins for the 5th anniversary edition of Collabor88. {what next} brings you this delightful summer house, which will perk up any corner of your garden. I simply adore the bi-fold doors and the metal roof with the finials. (As an aside, did you know you could find that term by googling “pointy bits on a roof?” 😉 ) You can also pick up the potted olive trees – obviously the little brothers of the giant version from The Little Branch from TLC – with the summer house.

So, the moral of the story is…your Lindens are never safe if you stop by my blog!

Summertime Madness

1 Overdressed sm

Yep, in just a few short hours it’s that time of the month again – Midnight Madness! As usual, there are two boards with a maximum of 1500 copies to be given away for each round. The first starts at midnight tonight and the second follows at noon tomorrow. Each designer has two different items available, so if you have a chance, make sure you do the rounds twice to get all the goodies.

Of course, I ended up being overdressed for the summer party in my Lana dress from Salt & Pepper, but a few more of these frothy drinks and I won’t care! This short styled dress is the noon prize from S&P, but the actual free gift is the same dress in purple. I’m wearing this lovely peach ombre tone that is available in an optional HUD that gives you four additional choices. A total bargain at 50L! You can grab it at the same time you slap the noon board. The midnight gift is a long version of the same dress in teal and also has an optional HUD for purchase. These dresses are exclusive for the event and will be retired when it finishes, so don’t miss out.

But wait, there’s more!

Rowboat Full Of Honeysuckle

1 Rowboat Rest sm

There are two events you don’t want to ever miss – The Liaison Collaborative and The Chapter Four. TLC opens on the 7th and TCF has just opened today.

Endless Summer is the theme for this month’s round of TLC, so take a peek at some of the fun-in-the-sun items available. The rowboat chair from Sway’s comes in three different colours and features texture-change pillows, plus single and couples poses. It is the perfect way to enjoy the water without worrying about seasickness! Also check out the ouchy knees from Izzie’s – everything from bruises and scrapes to bandaids. This set comes with both tattoo layers and various mesh body appliers, so no matter which body you use in SL, you can have your summer boo-boos on display. And don’t miss out on this updo from NO.MATCH that can go from casual to dressy without having to even pull out your brush!

Of course, TCF has four different shopping choices, with the gacha room always very popular. Take a chance on these gorgeous honeysuckle branches in a vase from [ keke ] and you can’t go wrong. With three sizes and five colours, every spin is a winner. The white styles are rares, but the colours are simply gorgeous. They work equally well indoors or out…as I discovered myself.

While autumn is just around the corner, these lovely items can bring an endless summer to your Second Life.
