Second Life always offers little learning experiences. I never knew the formal name for a Cheongsam was “Qipao”. I had to look it up and found this interesting article on Wikipedia.
The collar and closures are carefully modeled and look very authentic.
The dress comes in sizes for Lara, Physique, Hourglass, Freya, and Isis.
Here’s a marketplace steal for you, girls!
This lovely white bodysuit is available on the marketplace for L$25! It comes in sizes for Lara, Freya, Isis, Venus, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP.
Being semi-sheer, you can’t wear any alphas with it, and it does suffer from some clipping in extreme poses, but it’s so cute (and so cheap!) that you should just run out and buy it anyway 🙂
Hello lovelies! Today, let’s visit the jungle!
This loincloth styled outfit comes in sizes for Lara, Freya, Isis, Venus, Hourglass, Physique, Curvy, and Fine. It’s all one piece.
It comes with a pretty amazing HUD that has eight textures in muted and bright versions for a total of sixteen. But if that’s not enough, it also has a color picker that lets you tint the outfit to your taste, and it has glow and alpha controls too. I’m not so sure about the glow, but the alpha is great for making it semi-sheer.
The texturing is really nice too, with great use of materials to make the textures really pop.
I was scouting locations for photographs and I come across this lovely Greek island town. As well as the custom mesh that the creator has made for the houses, there’s a more touristy waterfront as well. A really nice place to visit, and very photogenic too.
And what better than to wear in the heat of the day here than this backless floral romper!
The romper is August’s group gift from Powdermoon, and their group is FREE to join.
The romper comes in opaque and sheer versions in standard mesh sizes and fitmesh for Lara, Freya, Isis, Venus, Hourglass, Physique, Curvy, and Fine. The sheer version is not too see-through, you can just see the outline of your body through it, and is the one I’m wearing in the photos.
Having said that, the back, other than being backless, is pretty cheeky 🙂
Look at these fantastic burmuda shorts! I won them on an MM board recently, and as of this writing, they are still available on that board! Grab some friends and register!
The shorts are available in fitmesh sizes for Lara, Physique, Hourglass, Freya, Venus, and Isis. They come with a wonderfully generous HUD that lets you change the denim texture (eight plains and three patterns), the belt (16 patterns), and the belt buckle (silver or gold).
They are absolutely perfect for walking down the beach.
Hello lovelies! Here’s another gift from Redeux.
The babydoll/hankie styled top and panties are separates and come in sizes for Lara, Freya, Isis, Venus, Hourglass, Physique, Curvy, and Fine. The texturing is superb.
This is certainly a sexy little outfit to welcome your partner home in!
Here are a couple more gifts available for FREE at the August round of Redeux. Just wear the group tag to pick them up from the most generous and wonderful creators!
This teddy is from The Forge, whose unique creations I really like. And this is no exception. The teddy only comes in a one-size-fits-all fitmesh, but it works really well on Lara.
And the furniture is from Cam on Me. It has two poses, Languid and Venus (shown). Both poses are copy, so you can take them and use them in your own furniture or pose stands. Yay!
The August round of Redeux (located at Unbroken Isle) is on at the moment. There are a ton of FREE gifts available if you join the event’s group.
For example, this white halter neck gown!
The gown comes in standard mesh sizes, and body specific fitmesh for Lara, Freya, Isis, Venus, Physique, Hourglass, and TMP. It’s a lovely simple gown suitable for any formal occasion, and being fitmesh, it dances quite well.
I’m sure I’ll have a few more items to show you over the coming days!
Here’s the latest group gift from Blueberry.
The dress comes in sizes for Lara, Freya, Isis, Venus, Physique, and Hourglass.
As usual, Blueberry is super generous with their HUDs for group gifts. I will let you count the colors and patterns below!
As a blogger, I try and stay in touch with things that are happening with new fashions and stores and things that could provide leads for the blog. I use a newsreader to subscribe to lots of SL related sites among with all my non-SL feeds (I have close to 600 feeds that I skim every day! I’m a total news junkie!). One of those feeds is from teleporthub.com, and today’s outfit and hairstyle were found there.
I hadn’t heard of Virtual Diva before (well, I had seen ads for their magazine, but I’d certainly never been to the store before). Their group is FREE to join and there are a number of past gifts available.
The hairstyle is one group gift, and it’s very nice, looking suitably windswept at the back. It’s rigged mesh so there are no resize options. It comes in four shades of blonde, this being the closest to strawberry blonde I could get. Because of the windswept look, there are minor clipping issues in some poses, particularly when turning your head. It’s fine for walking around in though.
The dress is also a group gift and comes in standard mesh sizes, and body specific fitmesh for Lara, Venus, Isis, Freya, Hourglass, Physique,and TMP. There is a nice subtle use of materials to give it a great sheen without overdoing it yay!
