I went to the beautiful The Trace Too to shoot some pictures. I love this sim so much. I wandered into the water even though I was wearing a long skirt, because I can. These colors don’t run.

June Monteiro of JUMO released a new gown called Illyria for The Instruments – a monthly themed event that recently celebrated its one year anniversary. It runs for 20 days and opens the 18th of each month.  The original outfit comes with a high fashion top that has beautiful gauze sleeves, but I wanted a more casual look so I just wore the skirt which is fabulous in so many ways with its bold prints and splashes of color and the lovely draping of the mesh so that the print it not distorted when I move. I wore this fun and fabulous bikini from Luxuria underneath the skirt. It’s summer, I am at the beach. I wore the bikini top as the top for my skirt because I can.  These new shoes were just released by Glamistry. They are called Malva after the hollyhock’s lovely cousin, the common mallow. The mallow’s broad petals bring bold splashes of bright color to a country garden. The Malva shoes come in several colors, but this one is the most common color the mallow comes in – bright, bold and summer hot. The necklace is from Kunglers. With such a bold skirt, I needed bold jewelry so I went directly to my Kunglers jewelry box. Instead of a ballerina, it has a jazz dancer and it does not play Clair de Lune. It plays Burning Down the House. My outfit was sort of inspired by this Waimea hair style for the Aloha Fair that opens next week – August 27th. It comes with two sets of flowers, one in orange and yellow and one in white and pink. I made a copy of the white and pink and placed it higher. Because I can!!!

 My skin is the luminous Glam Affair America applied to the Lelutka mesh head and Maitreya body. I used the Avril applier for the skin and lips and the Lotte applier for the eye shadow. Lelutka has also released a set of mesh eyelashes that work with the mesh head. When you put them on, don’t freak out. They are situated about a foot in front of your face to make it easy for you to select them to edit and bring them into position.
