Set sail to the Boats & Bikini Expo….

Join us at 3pm SLT today, July 25, 2013 as we christen the launch of the Boats & Bikini Expo sponsored by Oceania Breedables.  I’m very excited about this week-long event because the setting is the posh French Rivera.  There are tons of top SL creators including the best boat/yacht builders, fashion designers and home decor stores: Chez Moi, beach street, Luas Store, Dead Dollz, Aphrodite Shop and Southern Seas Ships.  From July 25-31st there will be a “Treasure Hunt” with prizes at each store.  I’m an official blogger for this event and I will give you sneak peek this week of free hunt items and other “finds.”  So grab your flips flops, shades, sunscreen and bikinis as we sail off to the Boats & Bikini Expo!

Hi, I’m Gloria, your guide to Boats & Bikinis!

As a California girl from the USA, I was so happy to find Inspired Designs.  They had all my beach party needs, including a fab red Weber BBQ complete with burning coals and food, to a colorful beach set with beach umbrella, towels, cooler, picnic basket, french bread and champagne.  The beach towel set includes animations for couples and singles, and a color change option from red to blue.  When visiting Inspired Design shop at Boat & Bikini Expo check out the many and varied beach items on the wall.

• Beach Party Couple Set: Inspired (animated couple blanket, picnic basket, ice cooler, beach bag & umbrella)
• BBQ: Inspired (75L)
• Dress: Luas, Joana Tie-dyed Dress

• Sun Bathing Single Set: Inspired (towels, ice cooler, umbrella & sun bathing animations, radio, sunscreen)
• Bikini: Dead Dollz, Marina Blue Retro-inspired Swimsuit

Open the gates to glamour!

The new round of Fashion Star launched yesterday at the Zenshi Shopping District. Fashion Star is an exclusive shopping event with top SL designer’s including Liv-Glam, K Collection, Pure Poison, Amarelo Manga, BSD, and more, offering new releases, private sales and group gifts. I adored the Liv Glam group gifts this round and had to show you the glamorous and gorgeous Emily Mini Dress & Francine Gown. While at Fashion Star, I scored the Pure Poison Carmen Necklace (worn above) at a deep discount of 49L and paired it with Pure Poison Baroque Earrings, an Avenue Magazine exclusive gift. Liv Glam’s Emily Mini Dress is fun, sexy and stylish. I partnered the mini with Pure Poison Onyx Dia earrings (worn below), another exclusive gift for Avenue Magazine Readers. All these items are fab styles available at Fashion Star…GO now and INDULGE!

After writing my article yesterday about SL Fashion Week, I forget to highlight some of the free group gifts, so I created a display of the items.  I’m not sure if the group gifts change every week when a new round opens, but this weeks gifts are fun stylish and modern accessories that any girl can incorporate into her wardrobe. Once again, SL Fashion Week will be closing tomorrow, Thursday, June 13 at 1pm SLT.  A new round will open on Friday, June 14th with exclusive creations from top Second Life designers.
