New items from FOREVER SUMMER:

Girls in Pantsuit

 These pantsuits remind me of the 70s.

The girls in Bohemian and Polkadot prints pantsuits.

The girls in Flower Power and Ombre Polkadot prints pantsuits.

The girls in Silk and Velvet pantsuits.

I couldn't wear the SLink shoes with these pantsuits because the ankles protrude at the back and the SLink feet cannot be moved(ie edited) so I used N-Core's shoes which can me moved around and up and down. There are virtues in not boxing up some stuffs no matter how massive the inventory has become since I made clothes.

Other colours and prints are also available at the Beach Store and the Marketplace. As always, please try a demo.

Other stuffs Moon is wearing:
hair: TRUTH HAIR Electra -  variety
eyes: Mayfly
skin: New Faces  - Mei Ying  (Ivory)
mesh body:~WowMeh - Style ( v3.1)
jewellery: : Amorous : Organic
shoes: N-core SHAE "White" (Mesh)

On Carter:
hair: !Lamb Zelda
eyes: Mayfly
skin: YS&YS Susan
shoes: Maitreya

Girls in Bikini

After I had put Moon in the WoWMeh mesh body, I was inspired to do more bikinis. Here I have Moon pose with Carter who is not in a mesh body, feet or hands. I think they both look good except you can see the differences in the upper torsos where the bodies bend. Mesh body bends smoothly and regular body breaks.

The girls in polkadots print string bikinis.

The girls in hibiscus print string bikinis.

The girls in tartan print string bikinis.

The girls in candy stripes string bikinis.

There are other colours available at the Beach Store and the Marketplace under Apparels. Please try the demo first.

Date Night

I have the bad habit of not reading my mails and discarding them when I first log into SL but today I'm glad I didn't or I would have missed getting SYSY's Classic Pumps SLink addons subscriber gift. Moon was testing my FOREVER SUMMER Date Night dresses which I had not packed yet, but when I tried on the pumps, I told myself that I had better write a post about this before I forget. The subscriber gift comes in 2 colours, black and pink. It doesn't come with a shoe base, but that is not a necessity because the slink feet already comes with the shoe base.

These are just some of the dresses I have textured. There are some more, but I think enough of the dresses already. If you're interested, here is the LM to FOREVER SUMMER.

And one last picture!
I have also been working on my building project. It's completed and all I need to do is take some decoration pictures and then pack it up. I'm calling it The Forest Hideaway Cabin because I imagine this house in a forest near a lake. Water is a must! And, it's only 40 land impact right now.

I have thought of adding some more details to the house, but then it would increase the land impact so I think I'll leave it as it is.

It's Friday here, so have a good weekend!
