Here Comes A Tropical Summer!

Here Comes A Tropical Summer!

I’ve had a quick gander at the TROPICAL SUMMER 2017 event from WEDOSL and guys, it’s definitely more than worth a look if the sunshine is your thing.  There are lots of gorgeous summery outfits and accessories to behold, and it’s a nice, easy to navigate the event. I spied some gorgeous footwear, separates and flowing, summery frocks during my brief visit.  There are plenty of tops and shorts combinations too, along with bucket-loads of poses to help you capture summer memories with friends. Because it was just a brief visit I only had time to stock up on some fantastic shorts by NEVE which I’ll probably enjoy wearing all season long, as well as some classic sunglasses by ZOOM.  I am never disappointed by ZOOM eyewear, the brand is always spectacularly well crafted and textured and I always get serious SL envy when wearing Jonas Acanthus‘s glasses in-world,  as I’d never be able to afford similar in reality.  Still, at least in one of my lives, I get to enjoy them and look utterly amazing, huh?

Oh, last but not least, this group gift hair from TRUTH has been re-released with the all new colour packs included. It’s as voluminous as hair can get in SL and looks stunning, however you colour it.

So check out TROPICAL SUMMER 2017 for some sunshine shopping goodness, it’ll increase your vitamin D intake (while reducing your Linden Dollar balance) but ultimately, you’ll feel good!

This week saw the release of the latest BISHBOX.  Along with POWDER PACK, It’s the only subscriber box that I pick up every month. I was incredibly excited to discover that the theme this month was ‘Bad Kitty’, as you can imagine that ticked ALL my boxes, but unfortunately, when it came to the opening and reviewing of the contents there were only a select few items that I really enjoyed.  In fact, this is how disappointed I was: I recorded a vlog and then deleted it. I just thought I sounded incredibly miserable and negative, but the fact was, there was so much scope and yet most of the participants had gone for the same old ideas.  I felt let down and disappointed. There is a lot more to creating a cat aesthetic than masks, PVC and collars.  True, it’s a theme that has been done to death in Second Life but I was ready to be wowed with some super original content and that just wasn’t the case. Now I’ve had a whinge there were a couple of stellar items that I really enjoyed, and I’ll feature those in forthcoming posts.

In other news, UBER has some interesting offerings this month. It’s an event I find a little hit or miss in the extreme. When I finally manage to get in I either go mad and buy all the things or harrumph and roll my eyes as I slope off home in a sulk.  This month saw me buying a few items but I don’t think it’s up to the usual standard. That said, the ‘Yonder Eyes’ from IZZIE’S are well worth checking out if you want to up your virtual eye game; the colours Izzie has created are beautiful.

Can you see a theme developing here? In fact, that’s something I’m seeing reflected in other events and offerings across the grid; is the virtual shopping bubble about to burst? Nah, I don’t think so.  Don’t forget that it’s almost Summer and people tend to hang out more in real life once the weather gets warm.  Yes, designers have real lives too you know!

Anyway, here’s a look I threw together featuring items from BISHBOX, UBER and MESH BODY ADDICTS BI-MONTHLY, which finishes soon so quick..run!
