This ‘n that……

This summer might be remembered at my house as the one that never was. The fickleness of the weather and family commitments have resulted in a gradual piling up of outfits waiting to be blogged. Rather that dedicate a post for each I have decided to show you a few of my favourites.

I acquire clothing in SL in various ways. I love to shop, so I am constantly exploring new areas. I go to sales and will often wait for a sale and then go crazy picking up items that are faves. Fairs are also a good way of seeing and buying new products. (Like the hair fair and skin fairs). DSN can be a valuable approach to seeing samples of designers wares. Belonging to the maximum number of groups, I do belong to a few which are fairly generous to group members. These tend to be some of my favourite designers as well. Subscribo’s ….I join a ton. When it comes to soliciting review items, I do mostly with skins. This is because in the case of skin reviews you really need a few of the skins, in a few tones to properly show them and discuss them. That doesn’t mean that the occasional review item doesn’t come my way. It is always interesting to look at an item with fresh eyes. Sometimes I will come across an item randomly in a Japanese sim, or one I’m shooting pics in not having any idea where it will turn up in a blog or I might look specifically for piece that will match a theme I’m working on. All that said my inventory is starting to look like the Creature from the Black Lagoon and I need a front-end loader to find anything…..

Note: I’ll apologize now for not providing SLURLS for all these items.

I’ll be happy to help you find any of these items inworld or on my Comments if there is any difficulty. I also used a whole slew of Poses from various sources , ++Desire++, Oyakinbo, {Flowey}, Dare, Cyanide, Pididdle, LAP, Rel Expression, Striking Poses… I try to keep track.
