THAT'S MORE LIKE IT

Okay I still didn't get changed into my new swimsuit but I wanted to wear this dress first. It's from Bare Rose also includes a hat and an optional shoulder drape that I didn't wear cause, well it's the beach. I liked it with this up-do from Exile that you can still get at the Arcade Gacha for a couple more days. The package comes with two hairs and two pairs of glasses, all cute, what a great deal!

UNDER THE MOON

I love me some sparkly glitter. And Fantasy. Even in summertime. But I think next time this Fae might be spotted in swimwear and slurping up ice cream. Even fantasy creatures get hot in the summertime right? But for now, sparkly metallic gown with a metal collar that weighs eleven pounds.

FLEUR

Time is just flying by and we only have through tomorrow to visit Fashion for Life! I can't believe it. If you haven't visited yet, now's your chance. There are still so many things I want to show you so I'd better get on it! This dress is a cute entry from a new-to-me shop called Kaithleen's. This sweet little floral print is also available in brighter, more summery colors but I was just loving this fresh white.



I like silver and white so I matched the dress with a silver star manicure from Flair and this Fleur-de-Lis ring from Swallow ...

SUSPENDED UNDER THE SEA

Trinity Yazimoto has placed some lovely dresses in the Petit Chat booth at Fashion for Life. This shop is new to me but I like that her gowns are all based on her original artworks. You can also view the art at her gallery if you would rather hang it on your walls than wear it. The Suspendu Pour L'Eternite dress includes some fishy attachments that float about your collar and skirt, and if you play the FFL passport game you can pick up the matching necklace and earrings. Fit for a mer princess!

YOUR BIG DAY

If you are planning a Second Life wedding this summer, why shouldn't your wedding dress benefit Relay for Life? Schoen has this lovely gown in a charity vendor at Fashion for Life. It includes two styles of veil and four sets of flexi attachments to wear over this sweet mesh gown. Personally I like the dress plain, but that's just my personal taste. The veils are editable so you can fit them over your hairdo.



And I love these jewels for a wedding. Krystal has made this set in four versions, one with diamonds only, and another where the gems are texture-change, with either silver or gold metal. Sweet! I can wear them again with other outfits.

UNDER A STEAMPUNK MOON

Even if you have never had cancer, don't know anyone who has cancer, and have the personal word of Deity that you will never have cancer, I have to tell you that the TEN sims of fabulousness that is Fashion for Life is an amazing Smorgasbord of Yum. For example, this outfit is one of Purple Moon's benefit items, including the clothing, hat and matching shoes. I was also tickled to see that Damselfly has updated to Mesh hair and is still around after forever, when so many older businesses have closed up shop. This hair is lovely isn't it?



I added eyewear by Crie Style. I'm not entirely certain if it is a fancy Gun, or a tiny Laser Targeting System stolen from the future, I'm too intimidated to ask :D   I took a close-up picture so you can see its 248 tiny prims of goodness ... also for charity!



This year, ALL sales at Fashion for Life donate some percentage to Relay for Life, and the donation percentage is clearly marked on the vendors. I appreciate that. Kudos to the generosity of everyone involved whether they are donating designs, giving their time, or shopping their sweet little hearts out. Fashion for Life runs through Friday, June 20th. The Fashion for Life blog has a list of direct shop locations if you would like to head to your favorite stores, but you really should walk around and take it all in.
