Summer fashions often feature the crisp red, white and blues of nautical fashion.  U.F.O.’s gorgeous little top for Collabor88 put me in mind of that with its white stripes. The top comes with a HUD allowing the wearer to choose an array of colors for the straps and so of course I chose red. U.F.O. also made matching skirts in several shades of denim, each with a print option with lips all over it.  I think the outfit is adorable, which is why it was worth the trouble it took to get it to fit.

I had one difficulty with this outfit in that I had to do a lot more than minor tweaks to my shapet. I had to significantly reduce my body fat and shoulder width, all trying to reduce the size of my arms so they fit the sleeves. I don’t mind adjusting a shape a little for a brand, though. I simply save a copy with the brand name, so I will have it on hand the next time I wear something from them. So now I have a new Cajsa UFO shape tucked away in my shape folder. 

UFO went all out for this month’s Collabor88 event. Not content with a mountain of tops and skirts, they also produced these fun sneakers in several bright colors. There is a hud to change the laces, too, though I stuck with white.

What with the nautical theme emerging,  I was so happy to dig around in my FLAIR manicures folder and find this perfect red and white wave manicure. Truly, there is a FLAIR manicure for every occasion.

D!va’s hair style for this month’s Collabor88 is a fun undo with the signature D!va tendrils that make it such a popular brand. The scarf can be changed with a touch-script and has more than a rainbow’s worth of options. The jewelry is from Cailyn’s Jewelry and something I picked up in 2007. I still love it though with its bright primary colors.

Yummy made some fun flip up sunglasses for Collabor88 in the bold colors for this months theme. Here you see them flipped down, which happens with a touch. The skin is from the House of London brand Fresh Fx and its blushing cheeks give it that fresh-faced outdoors look I wanted.
