Goodbye to Summer

It's always Summer somewhere, especially in SL, and Flow's excellent boardshorts and retro swim suits from this month's Mens Dept (ending today) provide a nice excuse to ignore the season and enjoy some SL rays. The boardshorts have a texture-change band and like the swim suits are available with liquid-mesh sizing in a range of colors and at an attractive price.

The avis feature skins by (Red)Sand (previously bogged here) and a recent skin gift from Aeva with shapes by Novus and Shape it Up. Hair is from Alli & Ali, where numerous styles are on sale for 50l through the end of the month.

Air

Dirty Little Secret has an excellent gift in the Something Old, Something New Hunt: a fully furnished, multi-level build called Air. The house features skylight ceilings, glass walls, exterior staircases, multiple patio areas with draped fabrics and a water surround with trees. The furniture is soft-linked with the build and available in a separate pack, so you can keep what you want (or use it in other builds). I've added some pieces from End of Daze that work well in the space.

Tash Porthos of Dirty Little Secret is also celebrating the anniversary of her store with a ton of group gifts for men & women and the DLS group is free to join until the end of the month. Join the group for her latest Mesh gifts (and stay in it because Tash is always generous).

Some of the clothing here is from the November Mens Dept (ends Dec 1), including a new release blazer from American Bazaar available with different tee combinations. Finally, the skin/shape I've used here is a new group gift from Aeva/Heartsick.
