When Summer Ends

Oops! I hit Publish instead of Preview!

I’ll make this short and sweet anyway. Check out the credits for all of the beautiful things I am wearing. The top and skirt will be leaving Collabor88 in just a couple of days (hopefully destined for the Emery main store). The sandals are from fri.day and out now at Summerfest ’17. The hair from Sintiklia can be found at Hair Fair 2017 and features options for your fringe.

These are all wonderful items that you’ll need now, before summer ends.

Memories Of Days Gone By

Bento has brought a lot of new innovation to the grid. In addition to changeable mesh heads and hand gestures, the addition of new bones to the head has allowed movement of mesh hair. There are several designers who have Bento hair available at Hair Fair 2017, my favourite of which is the No.50’17 ( A N I M A T E D ) from redMint. This is a fabulous style with gentle movement; a far cry from the fast-flowing locks of flexi days. Paired with the asymmetrical cut and we have a winner.

I have linked to the Hair Fair location of the designers I am featuring in the credits, or you can refer to this post for the full list. Find your favourite Bento animated hair and strut proudly, thinking of your own memories of days gone by…hair swaying, not flapping.

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.
