Continuing Summer on the Beach

I've added some new retro bikinis and a top and capri outfit at the FOREVER SUMMER Mainstore. These Retro Bikinis are 2 pieces so that means ladies with different sizes for their top and bottom will have no problem wearing them.

I also used the WoWMeh mesh body for the bikinis. It was a harder fit because the alphas couldn't cover some parts of the body but it was still possible.

I've also put some of the bikinis at the satellite store. I haven't had time to put these up in the Marketplace yet, but soon. And, as always, please try the demos that are available.

Summer Tradewind

The hot weather is making me lethargic and my mind is a blank at the moment. I just completed a skybox, but I haven't taken any pictures of it, so I thought I'd just dress Moon up in one of FOREVER SUMMER's newer dresses which I should have done last week before my computer died.

You can also find this dress on the marketplace and demo is also available.

My Puppy is too cute or the Time I took her walking in Mayfair

I can't seemed to detach Alchemy's French bulldog from Moon eversince I got her. She is too cute!

dress: FOREVER SUMMER Red Roses Partial Mesh 2Piece

I didn't have babysitting duty today so I had time to make this partial mesh-flexi skirts dress. The dress can be worn with or without their flexi skirts but I like that I get the option to wear them when Moon goes dancing. So from now on, whenever I can, I will add these flexi skirts.

And using the same red rose, I made this partial mesh-flexi skirt gown. This gown can also be worn without their flexi skirt parts. Also, the flexi skirts are modifiable so if they're too small or too large, you can edit them to your personal size.

gown: {FS} Red Rose XStrap Partial Mesh Gown

These dresses are only available at the Mainstore at the moment. As always, please try the demos.

Where the Sun Shines all Day

I love this long sundresses so I've added some more prints to the collection.
Moon and Carter are wearing the soft floral prints which reminds me of some old movie so I've also 'vintaged-cified'(I know that's not a real term, but I can't think of the exact term at the moment) the pictures.

Simply Casual

I added another frilly blouse to my small collection of Amelia's Blouses. In rl I love these kind of blouses eventhough most of the time I wear plain tanks. I also love white pants. Cropped white pants or slim cut white pants.
So here is Moon infront of the bookstore in the floral printed frilly blouse and white jeans.

Simplicity

One of the reasons I love blogging for Cosmopolitan Sale Room is I get to discover new stores I've never heard of before like Motivaction. The other is I love dressing up Moon and blogging gives me that opportunity. Most of the time I would dress her up casual because that is the kind of person I am and it reflects on my avatar too. But now that I am also making dresses and continuing building houses, my time blogging is limited.

I like this dress from Motivaction, something I would wear with jeans. The dress and cardigan combination comes with a coloured hud for the dress.

Dressing up and down

JK Style has these 2 exclusive releases Willow and Tiara for CSR at only 55L and Moon is wearing Pelle's blonde hairdo with these outfits. I like that the hairstyle can be worn with any kind of dress-style.

Willow comes with a coloured hud and jewellery set but I chose to wear it with the Caroline Jewllery Set I bought at the Seraphim Social last month.

The trials and tribulation of wanting to look good

Well I made it into this month's Collabor88. It was quite hilarious to me. Lag was so bad, all the meshes were little pyramids and people were gray and missing their parts and the vendors were not rezzing. But since I am in, no way was I going out. So I hung around for the vendors to rezz.

shoes: fri. - Jet.Heels (Moondust) @ Collabor88

hair: Clawtooth: Moonage Daydream (Silent Movie Star Pack) @ Collabor88

hair: TRUTH HAIR Electra -  variety @ Collabor88

props from Collabor 88:

I thought I'd show how bad lag was at the event.
This was how Moon looked while I waited for parts of the hair to fall in place.... felt like forever!

Well, Moon is still smiling :)
10 minutes later, Moon's demo hair was stubbornly still up in the air
I'll probably go back because when I left, not all the vendors had rezzed.
The things we do for beauty!
