Sun Blocked

On Your Toes Blog: Sun Blocked

When it comes to catching some rays, the best policy is always to protect your skin. A hat, some sunglasses, and a bit of sunscreen goes a long way to protecting those gorgeous SL skins. How fitting is it that so many recent releases seem to cater to the sunny escape, at least the ones at My Attic, and the great new Gogo from LeLutka with its big floppy sunhat.

You can just feel the warmth, sitting atop the Towel prop from W. Winx & Flair, with a fun sunset print, the same print as the great Slink Enhanced Hand Add-Ons from Flair, both are available at the current round of My Attic at The Deck, as are the shades by Amala! The dress by Maitreya has a great sarong feel, that makes it a more formal version of a beach cover-up.

The Shoes featured in this post are more absolutely gorgeous original mesh creations designed by Belgravia which are designed to work with the  equally wonderful Slink feet. I cannot begin to tell you how proud I am to wear these shoes, and to know that at the heart of this collaboration, and that is what it is when two designers come together to create great truly original content,  is the ingenuity that Second Life should celebrate. Be sure and step out into the sun to celebrate what you love about your SL, and support the designers that continue to share things worth celebrating! (Complete styling details below.)

In Summery

On Your Toes Blog: In Summery

It happened. Something got me to leave the safety of my sky platform and venture out into the wonders of SL, and I must confess, it was a bikini! Since I really haven't explored SL much lately, I returned to an old favorite, Las Lagunas, still such a beautiful place for photos, but still laggy and difficult to enjoy. In any case I invested some time in playing with lighting and shadows and captured a few images of some of the beauty offered at Summerfest, a promising event that will surely have you donning a bikini soon too!
 
On Your Toes Blog: In Summery

The bikini is one of two spectacular mesh 'kinis from Baiastice, this style featuring small chain accents and not a whole lot of actual bikini, which makes it a super sexy little suit. I fell in love with the coral shade, and since no sun cautious beauty would head out into the sun unprotected, an oversized frilly hat, also from Baiastice is in order. It is just so gorgeous, how could anyone resist?
 
On Your Toes Blog: In Summery

The skin is a new offering from Belleza, also for Summerfest. This sweetly freckled face is Ashley, in one of two make-ups at this event. In the warm tan tone it cannot be beat for a day by the sea. I also added a sweet hibiscus flower, from an old Plume hairstyle, that looked great dangling from my lips or tucked into this great style from Truth. It is easy to get into a summery mood with great items like these! (Complete details below.)

Miami Heat

On Your Toes Blog: Miami Heat

It is time for another round of our beloved Collabor88, and I am ridiculously excited about the fun bright colors and summery flavor of the items available at this round. The inspiration for this post came in the form of the newest Barnesworth Anubis prefab skybox, a hot tribute to the deco inspired dwellings of South Beach, Miami, a fresh and fitting backdrop for this 90's interpretation of sherbet colored cool!
 
On Your Toes Blog: Miami Heat

A guest at this round of Collabor88, and a relatively 'new to me' store, VinCue, delivers a sweet strapless dress in a ridiculously generous number of color combinations, all with this textural dot pattern on the bottom. Perfect garb for sitting indoors on a hot Miami day, sipping iced tea (complete with a splash of something more intoxicating.) The precious and delicate Solitaire Heart accessories set from Maxi Gossamer is quickly becoming one of my favorites, I love the understated scale of the necklace and as always the color change feature, this must have, can be found over at FaMESHed.

Finally, these fantastic Lydia Slingback shoes from Ingenue take a giant step forward, so thrilled to see yet another talented designer embrace the perfection of the enhanced Slink feet, and I just love the texture and multiple fun colors of this shoe, complete with baby peep-toes and bows... and we know how I love my bows! The skin is Cleo, the latest from GLAM Affair, just check out the perfection of this brightly colored eye make-up and sweet fresh face.

On The Bright Side

On Your Toes Blog: On The Bright Side

Time for a splash of bright color, courtesy of the latest release from Baiastice at this month's installation of FaMESHed. A bright lemony yellow dress with a slim line and accenting leather belt, such a simple and stylish look. The dress also comes in some more delicious bright colors and some really interesting printed versions too.
 
On Your Toes Blog: On The Bright Side

I have gone back to one of my all time favorite hairs from LeLutka, this time in a deep dark brown color, and the great accessories from Maxi Gossamer, Redgrave, and a clutch from Maitreya which echoes that great yellow and black combination. The super bright lipstick from Belleza really pops and accents both the pink stone in the necklace and the hint of pink in the shoes.
 
On Your Toes Blog: On The Bright Side

The clever Infra shoes from Just Design are a great wedge thong sandal with texture change options, as well as jewelry options. If you grab the Fat Pack you get even more versatility and can easily mix and match colors to get a very complimentary result for your outfits. The culmination of all these things is a bright look that is classic and fun at the same time.

Solar Flair

On Your Toes Blog: Solar Flair

Bring on the bikinis! I'm ready for the heat... well, virtual heat, I am no fan of melting on a beach slathered in SPF 110. Thankfully Second Life is the perfect place to wear a sexy suit and show some glowing tanned skin, without all the unpleasant side effects of the sun. It is easy to show some flair in hot beachwear!
 
On Your Toes Blog: Solar Flair

This very sexy suit is from The Shore Shack, which is the beachwear line from House of London, and you can find it at the brand new installment of FaMESHed... that is if you can pull yourself away from the Gatcha machines and related yard sales! I love the slightly metallic sheen of the fabric, and the very sexy suspenders, it feels modern and retro at the same time, and I have just the perfect shoes to match this style.
 
On Your Toes Blog: Solar Flair

The Charme shoes from Just Designs are a very sexy shoe, nicely shaped foot, great canvas textures with multiple color options, and a smart wide bow that seemed to be just the perfect fit with this particular bikini. Sure I won't be marching up and down the beaches in these babies, but I fully plan to do just about everything else in them. (Read on for full shopping info.)

Blank Canvas

On Your Toes Blog: Blank Canvas

Something fresh and light, like wearing all white, is a great way to energize your outlook. But one cannot miss the opportunity to let colored accessories shine! By adding the latest leather and semi-precious jewelled bib necklace and earrings from Mandala and finishing off with the bold coral red shoes from Belgravia, an all white outfit can really be the fresh blank canvas for your creativity and passion to shine through.
 
On Your Toes Blog: Blank Canvas

The delicate Cleo is the latest skin release from GLAM Affair, a beautiful face with many customization options to really add your own personality to your look; freckles, nose highlights, loads of brow colors and more, the perfect face for you it might just be, well worth trying a demo. The short bobby pinned hair from Tram is a bit unusual to choose for me, I do love my long flowing curls, but the sleek style not only lets my accessories stand out, it also provides a perfect view of your sexy bare back.
 
On Your Toes Blog: Blank Canvas

The clothes, more wonders from Baiastice, the newer Lari Halter and the slightly older Gareth Trousers, pair up well in all white. That aforementioned bare back and midriff courtesy of this great top, and the sleek casual belted pants are a slightly more sophisticated casual look, but they certainly feel great together. A special mention for the wonderful enhanced Slink feet and hands, that make it possible to wear these great add on Belgravia heels and more favorite nail textures from Flair.
