Is this the last days of Summer?

For me, it's summer everyday of the year with a dose of rain spotted here and there. And when I say here and there, I really mean it because when it rains right where I am, it doesn't mean it's raining a few meters away. That's how hilarious the rain-spotting is here.

I've been meaning to shop for my man alt. The last time I went shopping for him was a few weeks ago. I have the hardest time finding pants for him. Most of the pants and shorts that catches my eyes, when I demoed it on my avatar, falls and shows off his butt. Not that he doesn't have an awesome butt, but really, does he need to go out like that?

Anyway, I was browsing the marketplace and I saw these hawaiian shirts and immediately log my man avatar to the Blank Line shop. This is a new shop for me. I'm so happy with the shirts and the cardi and even though I complaint about the sneaky butt, I bought the shorts too. My excuse is that the shirts and cardi covers that area when he wears them :)

Moon is wearing an old favorite from Liv-Glam. The mainstore moved recently.

I've pixlred my pictures as usual, coz I love to pretty them up, but I don't photoshop them coz I'm not interested in learning this skill.

Lazy day at the Candy Store with my sister

A while back, my avatars used to be blondes and that is no accident. Although I am usually aware what is happening around me, I can be clueless sometimes. Like I had no idea that when I syndicate, my blogs would automatically be posted on the feeds. I thought I had to post each blogpost every time and I can pick and choose which post not to send out because I don't want to send out a post that has too much personal rants in it or that other blog of mine which is really just a database for the stuffs I'm selling on Marketplace.

Oh well. There is a local saying: The rice has become porridge.
You know you can't turn porridge into rice again so what's done is done. And porridge is not bad.

I didn't get to shop much in-world today, but I did go to TDR Fusion and Carter got a new skin from Essence. So today's style is rummaged from the girls' inventories. I always think of Moon and Carter as sisters and while I'm dressing them up, I would imagine the things they would be doing. I don't have a sister in real life. There was just me and my brother. But I have 2 daughters and it gives me the greatest pleasure to see them both loving and supporting each other even though they are both as different as cheese and chalk!

Summer Fair at Aero Pine Park

After doing the Monday Meme, I caught the exploring bug and it so happened that I saw a post on google+ about the Summer Fair at Aero Pine Park yesterday and made a mental note to go there as soon as possible. After all, summer is almost over for people in the north and who knows how long the fair will be open.

I've pixlred my pictures so that it would look pretty for me:) A larger version(4000x2100) will be on my flickr later. I'm enjoying taking landscape pictures again.

I went to the Fair on my own so it wasn't as fun as it would have been if I had company. You can't giggle and squeal when you're driving the bumper car and there's nobody to bump into or get high on the ferris wheel but the snapshots compensate that. So drag a friend or two to the Fair and have fun!

It's a Friday

It's not just any ordinary Friday, but a Friday where Belleza puts out their 50L skin for the FLF. I wasn't sure if it would be this Friday or the next because it's still August and not a new month. I always look forward to their offers and even if Moon no longer wear fair skin for long period, a 50L skin from Belleza to put on for photoshoots is totally worth it.

Moon and Carter are both wearing Belleza FLF Delaney skins and chanelling their inner country girl in Sn@tch Wednesday Doll Dress and Carter is wearing Sn@tch Mesh Tracy Sun Dress.

I have also completed my latest house. It's another modern home. Concrete. I'm calling it Serenity because of the plain neutral colours.

I still need to live in it for a few more days before I pack it off to my marketplace.

In the pink

I was boxing up tops when one of the blouses got me into a dilemma whether I should box it or let it because I still have great attachment for the style and so I put it on and got into a styling mode.... but you know, in the end, this is what came out of that mode:

No blouse.

Outfit: :::Sn@tch Mesh Tracy Sun Dress-All Colors (Small):::
Hair: *X*plosion Jules Hair (Duos) past Hair Fair 2013
skin: -Belleza- Teal Flash Skin past FLF
bangles: *YS&YS* TheDeck Anniversary Bangles old item
shoes: J's WesternBoots (Pink) old item
bag:  {.essences.} South American Bag N.03 old item
pose: glitteratti old item

I went to the Cupcake sim to take the picture and here are some shots of the rainy area:

Moon's inventory is now less than 50K!

One Class Act

Nobody has to look bad on a low budget. And just because something is cheap, doesn't mean it's low quality. And just because you don't want to buy expensive stuffs doesn't mean you're not classy. I love searching for bargains. I can go on and on about affordable stuffs because I've been through the poor house and I know what it means to stretch the budget.

There is still time to get this Liv-Glam Heart attack dollarbie minidress at the 24 Event.

Outfit: [LG] K Collection Heart Attack Dress Gift

Hair: [monso] My Hair - Daisy/ Black Brown

Skin: *YS&YS* Molly Eyecat - TDRF EXCLUSIVE

Earrings: Pure Poison - Tiger Earrings - The 24 Dollarbie

Necklace: Jamman Jewels copper leaves necklace old hunt item

bracelets: Retro Bangles (6 sets) very old item

shoes and bag: {{BSD Design studio}} post modernism -zig zag and Back to school bag dollarbie (this is a group gift where you get a LM from their mainstore and it takes you to their zenshi store and you hunt for the item)

I was late getting to the Club tonight, but I did get to catch Mavenn and Griff Bamaisin perform. They were awesome as usual. They rock!

The best thing about being a partner in this club is that I don't have to go elsewhere to listen to rocking good music because lately my time on SL has been very busy.

Purity

I don't know why but when I see these dresses, I think pure.
Zaara is having a sale right now and of course I had to go see and I ended up buying these 2 dresses and her jewellery set.

outfit: Zaara : [Mesh] Aamani wrap dress *print-sunshine*
hair: Miamai_Sakura Blacks
jewellery: Zaara : Atiriya set *aquamarine*
lipstick tattoo: *Fishy Strawberry* Allure Makeup - Faded Lipstick Deep Red old item
eyeliner tattoo: -Belleza- Eyeliner 3 past FLF item
shoes: Maitreya Gold Shiki
pose: Purple Poses

outfit: Zaara : [Mesh] Chaitra chiffon dress *leaves*
hair: .b -smitten  - dark browns
jewellery: *YS&YS* Gold set TDR old item
lipstick tattoo: *Fishy Strawberry* Allure Makeup - Faded Lipstick Deep Red old item
eyeliner tattoo: -Belleza- Eyeliner 3 past FLF item
shoes: Maitreya Gold Shiki
pose: Purple Poses

It's always a good deal to buy things on sale, but the down side is, you won't be wearing the latest fashion, but that's not a priority for me. These dresses will still look good next year.... unless they make something better than mesh.
