The Shop

This is sort of a quickie post, but I wanted to show the Eiko dress, before the round changes at the Gallery Gift Shop. It has a great vintage look and pairs well with Miamai's Loroi hair and BSD Design Studio's Post Modernism shoes, which you can pick up at Fashion United.

The excellent shape here is again from Baholi and this one is close to my heart because it was named for yours truly (thanks Adriana!). Like all Baholi shapes, it has a great face and works well with both darker and lighter skins - I've paired it with a new release skin from Aeva that is now on sale at The Outlet. Baholi's Astrid shape is mod, includes multiple versions and is available all month at the She & Him event.

The build I'm using as a backdrop is from the Mad Pea hunt. I'll have more to say on it and some interior shots in a later post.

Safari Style

Some safari style today (and more to come in my next post) with two mesh outfit gifts from Mystic Tiger found at Hair Fair. These include various colors/detail options and each piece is available as separates. Shoes and bags here are by BSD Design Studio, including recent group gifts (but note the joiner fee). BSD is sponsoring Shoe Fair and that is an event you don't want to miss for the latest shoe releases (and the occasional gift sprinkled around).

The two stunning shapes here are by Baholi and you can get them through today at just 55l over at Fi* Friday. The skins include the latest gift from Hush Skins and a pre-release skin from Aeva, available this week for just 75l. The hair from Wasabi Pills (new release) and Miamai (free) is from Hair Fair, but I doubt you need any reminders to visit that event...

Decked Out

Here are a few more items from MOH (ends soon, see my previous coverage here and here), including this great mesh shirt from Anymore. The 2nd set of pics shows a preview of 22769's excellent outfit from the June round of The Mens Dept. The shirt/tee & shorts are both in MESH, available in various colors and will look great all Summer long. Plus they are offered at a very attractive price.

The skin here is the latest group gift from Filthy. Unlike most of the major skin makers (I won't name them, but you know who they are), Filthy comes out with new male/female skin gifts like clockwork on the first of every month and they are always great. I have blogged many of them. But the best news is that the Filthy group is free to join until tonight (ends June 8). So save yourself the usual 200l join fee and go get Filthy.

Back to Black

The Back to Black Event got underway this weekend with many of the grid's best designers showcasing new releases or specially created items. Organized by the team from Chic Management, Back to Black aims to raise awareness of various mental health issues, which impacts just about everyone at some point in their lives. The event has a number of major themes including courage, determination, serenity and hope. My personal message is that even in the darkest moments there is always hope.
