Recollection In the Sand

"Earthbound, yet undetainable."

My posting has been a bit slow this month with all of my trips to the Venice beach, more precisely the Freakshow to hang out with my friends that work there. Going to the beach got me back in the mood to do another tropical post and since FashionTropic is still going strong until the end of this month, I decided to pick up a new bathing suit. Ghee put out an array of different items for swimwear, all mix'n'match compatible with each other! It was incredibly fun playing with the different pieces since each comes with 5 colors, all HUD controlled. Trying to decide on accessories was a difficult one, not because I could not find what I was looking for, rather I had trouble choosing from the beautiful designs that Moondane had out. I ended up going with their Hibiscus falls, which includes a necklace, a headpiece, and a pair of earrings. this jewelry set is no modify, but shiny, full bright, resize, and textures can be controlled via touch menu. There are 6 metal textures, 10 gems, and 10 flower textures included. Hair was definitely an easy choice, since Moon has this gorgeous style out for Hair Fair. Admittedly I did just use it in a pose recently, but it wasn't quite shown off, so I had to use it again to show you the beauty of this style! As far as makeup goes, I went with my favorite eyeliner from cStar (the most well made eyeliner in SL in my opinion) and some gorgeous green eyeshadow from Zibska. Posing was rather difficult because I was not entirely sure what I wanted to do; at first I thought about sitting in the tides, but one my best friends had just made some new poses that were unreleased and this one in particular called out to me. I convinced her to let me use the pose (and hopefully release it sooner than later) and set out for a shoot.

Crystal Blue

"The crystal clear Caribbean waters."

Not even going to lie, I may be attuned to the darker and alternative fashions, but I'm really loving these gorgeous tropical designs. We still have a couple of days until FashionTropic opens on the 7th, but you can expect tons of beautiful designs. This dress from Dead Dollz is one of my favorites so far. It is a lovely mermaid skirt with a long sleeve croptop in a sunny yellow and sky blue ombre. It is no modify rigged mesh, coming with five standard sizes. I accessorized it with Poute's Plumeria Flower Hair Piece which will also be available at FashionTropic, and Zibska's Liesel set which is currently out for a Game of Thrones inspired medieval event. Liesel is an unrigged, modifiable jewelry set that includes a pair of earrings, a collar, and a necklace that all come with 10 metal and 10 stone colors controlled via HUD. For hair and cosmetics I went with one of my favorite moon hairs (which is a beautiful fishtail braid), my favorite eyeliner in SL, eyeshadow from Zibska, and Ghee's Tropical Mix Nails which are part of Ghee's Mix & Match Beachwear collection. I really loved how this look came together, so I ran over to a lovely tropical beach for a quick shoot.
