L'Abel ~Summer Collection ~Farmgirl

Summer is here! This memorial day weekend, its officially summer for families all over the United States. Can you feel the warm sun where you are? I love the sweet warmth of the NEW L'Abel summer collection. Summertime is all about easy living, and the L'Abel summer collection's easy comfort comes from the soft light fabrics and sweet pastel tones and playful prints.

This first summer collection of the year from L'Abel boasts a range of wear, from the farm inspired looks that is reminiscent of underwear worn innocently as outerwear, to some more sophisticated floral prints in dresses and casual summer suits soon to be featured in later posts. We can also look forward to a second summer collection this year from L'Abel which will feature some more formal looks.

Here I wanted to show you the easy living in "farmgirl" one of my favorite ensembles of the collection. I love the lil bloomer pants, with the warmth of summer on my skin I decided to go barefoot in my sculpted feet from N-core. I let my hair down and found a long stalk of summer grass to chew on, and with Tuli's makeup you can see the splash of sunshine across my face.

Japan Relief Fundraiser Countdown: 3 Days Left

We're down to the last 3 days of the Japan Relief Fundraiser event. The JRF event has raised over 800,000 Linden for Americares, the official charity of the JRF. Many content creators who have created and donated their wares and time, and many tireless volunteers who have organized and brought this event together, and all of you who have spent your time and Linden supporting this event have made it a huge success!

Let's make sure to end this event with a strong finish, and continue to browse the fantastic offerings of the event sim, and let's not forget wether you're a shopper or not, the charity has several donation boxes throughout SL, on the JRF event sim, and in the stores of supporters, so please drop a few Linden next time you walk by one. Our pocket change and play money can make a difference to this charity, and the Japan Relief Fundraiser has proved again how much the residents of SL care for one another as global citizens.

Pipins Creations

My friends know I love to build. That is why I was so inspired by Pipins Creations when I discovered this creative french designers unique and bold use of prims in her builds. The gowns of Pipins Creations are fantastically done, with innovative use of light and glamorous layers of prim work carefully detailed with rich vibrant textures. Pipins Creations use transparent layers of virtual fabric with strategically placed soft light so the gowns literally glow with beauty.

Available in striking and vibrant colors, I chose a gown that stands out in the collection because of its subdued elegance in pearly white. From Pipins' new spring line, Lianne exemplifies some of the masterful use of prim layers. From regal elegance to absolute avant garde, it is no wonder that Pipins Creations is in demand by fashionistas across the grid looking for an inspired couturier.

Japan Relief Fundraiser Countdown: 4 Days Left

It's down to the last four days of the Japan Relief Fundraiser event. It's encouraging to see how many people have contributed to this cause. Some of the vendors will be offering fundraiser items in their stores for a limited time to continue to benefit the Americares charity.

In an effort to entice you to visit or revisit the Japan Relief Fundraiser event sim, I'm posting a brilliant creation by BaObA hats. With 100% of the proceeds from this hat going to the charity, it is a must have fashion accessory for any model.

I combined the stylish BaObA hat with one of my favorite hairs from Tukinowaguma since it put me such a flowery mood. The dramatic red of the flower and impact of the strong lines put BaObA's hat at the top of my list of JRF favorite finds!

Japan Relief Fundraiser Coundown: 5 More Days

As the countdown continues till the end of the Japan Relief Fundraiser, I want to point out this high fashion gown offered by Meiling Couture. The gown is available at the new Meiling Couture mainstore with 100% of the proceeds from this dress' sales going to the Americares charity until May 29th, when the JRF event comes to an end.

Meiling Couture is a new addition to the SL fashion scene. Having made a recent splash into Second Life, this RL designer known for her whimsical caribbean designs and expert use of fabric, has translated her elegant island designs beautifully into prims.

I paired Meilings JRF gown with Elemental Earth Designs new Kiowa jewelry set. Although the set is Turquoise, the sky blue stone reminded me of Larimar, the blue stone of the islands. The bold new Kiowa set is available in several types of stone at the Elemetal Earth Designs mainstore.

Japan Relief Fundraiser Countdown: 6 More Days

Continuing in my countdown till the end of the Japan Relief Fundraiser event sim, I present to you a hot ensemble from GizZa Creations. The striking safari dress and matching hat, which completes the look, come together in a set with 100% of the proceeds going to the Americares charity, the official charity of the JRF event.

I added a scarf to my look and detached the top ruffle of the dress, which gives the dress some versatility as it can be worn with or without that top ruffle, depending on your mood. The double clasped belt is a separate item from the cute prim skirt so it can easily be used to add some style to any other outfit.
