SHOETOPIA 2013, November 15th - 30th... More info coming soon!

Solar Flair

Bring on the bikinis! I'm ready for the heat... well, virtual heat, I am no fan of melting on a beach slathered in SPF 110. Thankfully Second Life is the perfect place to wear a sexy suit and show some glowing tanned skin, without all the unpleasant side effects of the sun. It is easy to show some flair in hot beachwear!

 

This very sexy suit is from The Shore Shack, which is the beachwear line from House of London, and you can find it at the brand new installment of FaMESHed... that is if you can pull yourself away from the Gatcha machines and related yard sales! I love the slightly metallic sheen of the fabric, and the very sexy suspenders, it feels modern and retro at the same time, and I have just the perfect shoes to match this style.

 

The Charme shoes from Just Designs are a very sexy shoe, nicely shaped foot, great canvas textures with multiple color options, and a smart wide bow that seemed to be just the perfect fit with this particular bikini. Sure I won't be marching up and down the beaches in these babies, but I fully plan to do just about everything else in them. (Read on for full shopping info.)
