I wanted to take a post or so to focus on my newest sponsor, _-FAS-_. Previously known for their mer and underwater products as [Tsunami], they have recently rebranded and are churning out a wide range of beautifully textured fantasy decor and accessories. The variety of colors and types of flowers available currently are stunning - as you can see, the glow works equally well in light and dark windlights!

Also awesome are the Druid Branches _-FAS-_ has released. These come in "normal" and fantasy tones, and the texture and glow are just as detailed as the flower decor. If you want to be a dryad, druid, or earth-themed fey, these branches are a must-have!

It's the final day of Summerfest, sadly! It's your last chance to rush to the sim and pick up all of the amazing pieces that will get you through the rest of this hot season. My friend Lix and I loaded up early and pretty much lived at the beach for a few days. We got a good dose of sun, as well as some sand in places I'd rather not mention!

The "Paradise" set by Moon Elixir is a summer must-have - the fit is phenomenal, the shell detail adds fun beachy flair, and the acid wash texture for the tank tops is seriously pretty. We paired this set with the adorable anklets from the "Moon Baby" set, also by Moon Elixir.

Also available at Summerfest is the hair on the right, called "The Summer Hair" by Olive. With just the hint of a breeze blowing it, this hair is great for subtle editorial looks.

Sometimes a gal just wants to bask in the sun and let the win ruffle her feathers, okaaaaay?

This lovely swimsuit is by Baiastice at Summerfest, which is going on until July 20th.. so just enough time to get there and get your summer necessities, but not ENOUGH time to put it off! If you haven't gone yet, you are missing out an an annual treat - a full sim dedicated to the best parts of the season!

"My date book shows that you're actually overdue for a Judgment Day. We have an opening later today, I'll pencil you in."

I had this really funny mental image of a merciless angel secretary that has to juggle appointments for things like Judgment Day, the Anti-Christ being born, and had to plan out all the plagues in Egypt. She started as a temp and can't make a decent cup of coffee, but is surprisingly efficient at... the other stuff, so she's been kept on full time.

This gorgeous dress, "Hum" by Storybook, is draped in a really pretty way; the back and sides are way more exposed than the front, which is really a lovely combination and shows plent of skin while still covering up the essentials... without having to toy with an alpha HUD!

The Three Sisters

I really wanted this photo to look like an old photograph or postcard, and I'm pretty pleased with the end result! The in world phototools have a lot of versatility to them if you're willing to sit down and experiment for a good long while!

This gorgeous bridge (and the lantern silhouetted in the back) are both by LORE from the current round of Genre. These gorgeous landscaping pieces will only be discounted for the duration of the event, so make sure you get them sooner rather than later! Each bridge and lantern come in 3 color options - plain, aged, and mossy. The mossy version of the bridge is honestly going to come in handy for fantasy stuff too, so I definitely recommend that one!

Wrap Me In My Daydreams

Is there any event quite like Lootbox? I always find myself looking forward to it, while my wallet cries from the moment I teleport in.

For this round, Storybook has released a stunning set of warrior silks, called Zephyr. A full set would consist of panties, silk wrap, spear, and shield. There are two rare Lootbox colors of the wrap, which in my opinion in a showstopper, but there are also a ton of gorgeous colors that are commons (including this blue one I'm wearing).

The fit on this set is phenomenal, as is the texturing; look at that metallic shine on those panties!

If you're like me and love to match small stuff, pick up the Gosalyn nail polish set by [The Plastik], found at The Kawaii Project's current round. One of the nail colors perfectly matched my rose gold panties, and it made me ridiculously happy.

The Birdcage

Genre's newest round is inspired by eastern Asia and the rich cultures and history found there. Everything found at Genre is at least 25% off for the duration of the event, so make sure you check it out - there are ALWAYS good deals to be found. 

 I was really lucky in that two of my friends immediately said they'd be my models for a couple of group photos, which I love more than anything!

I'd love to focus on the folding screen in the back by Tsuru's Artifacts - not only is it lovely as a static object, but it folds and unfolds at a click! I adore little features like that. This lovely screen would work great as a privacy partition or in a doorway. Also by Tsuru's Artifacts is the pretty wall scroll to the left!

Also lovely is the side table by Mirage Treasure Co. The texture and detail on it are beautiful!

The table and chairs my friends are sitting at/on is by Anachron... so you know the texture is nice and the chair cushions are nicely patterned! The multiple sits are also animated, which is a really nice touch.
