Summer Heat

It's been a long break from SL. The toils of RL can sometimes take the joy of SL away. However, I am glad I am back, fresh and all ready to share with all of you the fabulous fashion this Summer.

A must to your wardrobe this Summer is swimwear! How can one not take a day or several days off to enjoy the cool water at the beach. Agapee has a new release at Cosmopolitan this month. A fitted mesh bikini that is made specially for TMP, Maitreya and Slink bodies.

To spice up your swimwear, head down to Cosmopolitan and grab this nice flower wreath from Perseform. There are 10 different colour roses of different sizes which you can mix and match to create your own style.

In memory of Prince, one of the greatest artists of all time. His passing on came as a shock to everyone. Prince's music made us all more alive, more accepting and more open to being able to accept who we are. He united people with his music! RIP to a legend and a great man...

Be in the limelight

It's hard not to be in the limelight when AZUL, for the first time, has designed a classy satin pant suit in her latest line of collection. Jonelle comes in 13 luxurious colours which you can wear as a set or mix and match. 

From the elegant sheen and classic beauty of the material to the soft lustrous feeling against the skin, Jonelle never fails to capture everyone's attention no matter where you go. To complete the ensemble, a simple Brenda gold bag from Lybra and a dainty Alexa heels from Ghee are all I need.

Hey love

When it comes to a night out on the town, Lybra's Fen black leather dress always captures the attention of the crowd. The shiny fabric brings out the shine in her face and goes well with a pair of leather boots from Loordes of London. 

Due to the stunning look of Fen, you can choose to go with only the simplest of accessories. Choose to go minimalist with a simple Fringes Necklace from !IT!.

Hear the voice in me

Today's styling is one of my favourite of the week simply because it's something that you would see me wearing in RL. Both the Nya's jumpsuit and the matching shoe come with a 48 colour texture hud and for those who know me, know how much I enjoy playing with colour hud to get the unique piece. :D

The current round of Designer showcase ends 30 April. So hurry!

Urban Chic

Another new release at The Instruments April round. A very causal and yet sexy vest and the matching pants from Prey is a nice change from the heavy winter clothing. As it gets warmer, it's time to get out with a book and spend the afternoon over a cup of aromatic coffee. Accessorize with a simple jewellery set from IT and a pair of black heels from Tashi completes the urban chic styling for the day.

More great finds at The Instruments April Round. 

I love this elaborate hair from Letituier which looks like it is inspired by the geisha's hairstyle. To create this simple and yet stunning look with the strong colour, I have on from Deche's Urban Statement the eye paint and lipstick.

With the gorgeous nail art design from Luna, I present to you a soft and yet alluring look of the day.

You are my Spring

Spring is a wonderful time of the year where everything seems to come alive again after months of dull weather. That's what I always hear Scott say but from where I come from, the pace of life is way too fast. I wouldn't mind slowing down for a couple of months or even to hibernate in some winter places. :D

So, before I snapped back to the crazy RL lifestyle, I would love to grab the hands of my sweetheart and go for a walk in the SL April sun.

Scott and I took to Devil's Point for this shoot. I'm wearing a new release from Lybra. It's very versatile with separate top with plunging neckline and a flirty skirt, which you can wear it as a set or separately. Both skirt and top are HUD controlled with 8 different textures. I found my matching accessories and heals from Loordes of London and the short summer hair from Dura just complete my look for the day.

At the April round of The Instruments, you are going to find this chic sleeveless top and pants from Ghee. The blouse comes with a texture hud.

Trill me

Spring has sprung and with it comes with the requisite wardrobe overhaul. To begin, Thrill me from Rayne Couture is one perfect outfit for a relaxing afternoon at the mall to a sassy salsa dancing in the evening. It comes in 4 pastel colours with the option to wear it with or without a belt. 

If the sun gets too hot, shade from the intensifying rays with the Floral Bouquet Hat from Xen's Hat. There are 8 gorgeous colours to match all of your favorite Spring ensemble.

Timelessly Sexy

April round at the The Instruments begins April 11. The first outfit I am showing you is one of my favourite from Culco. It's a timelessly sexy black slip dress with plunging neckline and back that can be dressed up or down depending on what you pair it with. It transitions perfectly from day to night with the addition of statement jewelry and a change of shoes. T-Front Dress is designed especially for Maitreya, Belleza, Slink and Classic bodies.

While you are at work

It's a misconception that you can't be unique if you are wearing mesh heads. Catwa is one of the popular choices for mesh heads and each time I look at how different people style them, I am totally amazed at how amazing they look. 

It takes a little patient to tweak the Gwen head from Catwa at first but I just love how she looks in the end! First, I tweak the head size, stretch and length to make Gwen the way I love. Next, Gwen comes with her own pairs of eyes and of course you can replace them with any mesh eyes. I am wearing my favourite Ikon black eyes. For a perfect fit, I had set the eyes size and depth to 0. For those who need more help, CLICK HERE to watch a video on fitting mesh eyes.

The final touch and the most important is to get a fabulous skin that you really love. Different skins on the same mesh head do make a remarkable difference. I have always loved the skins from amara beauty. Lucia skin which is made specially for Gwen comes in 8 skin tones, each with 5 eyebrows option and matching lipsticks. Appliers for Maitreya and Slink is available free at her main store!

To complete the look, I have Sofia Dress from Lybra that is designed for Slink physique, Hourglass and Maitreya Mesh bodies. Sofia Dress comes in 8 silk textures. For accessories and shoes, head down to Loordes of London . You will definitely find something to suit all styles.

Happy shopping!
