Second Style Magazine

2010 Shoe Fair opens 8/7/2010 at noon SLT! This year the expo is to benefit Souls4Soles, which you can read about here: http://www.soles4souls.org/ . The event will run from August 7 – 22, 2010. Over 50 Shoe designers from across the grid are participating. Very very cool!

I was lucky enough to get into the fair early and let me tell you something….awesome! So many fantastical stores, with amazing new releases, the build is incredible, everything rezzed SUPER quick, and yeah.  I am still excited. You should be too!

They have a lot of new fun things at the expo…including Gatcha machines with special items from Adorkable Poses, Boom, Exodi, Glitterati, Whippet & Buck, Diesel Works, Haven Designs, Stellar and Fri.day!

The dress I am wearing in the pic is from Haven Designs and I loveeee it pretty hard.

Oh but wait, this is about shoes right? Like my shoes? Course you do! They are the new ones from Surf Couture and only one of the amazing pairs that I was lucky enough to come home with.

Second Style is excited to be one of the Media Sponsors along with ShopaholicFeed.com, Chic Critique, FashionFeed of SL, What’sNewSL.com, and Metavirtual.us.

Weeeeee….go to the shoe fair tomorrow, buy some awesome stuff and help with a very very good cause.

Until next time!

Sweet and simple..that is the theme for today in my world.

The skin is by one of my favorite designers, Dutch Touch. My skin folder from there is bursting at the seams and that is exactly the way I like it. More more moreeeee, please!!!

The top is from Indie Rose and I love it! The fatpack is sooo reasonable and it comes 5 different colors. Well, the top is white on all but the butterflies and the ribbons on the shoulders are different colors. Very cute! Perfect for summer in any life.

The shoes are the lovely Espadrilles by Gos that if you don’t own yet…why not? Hair is the latest and greatest by Truth, maybe you have heard of him? Once or twice, right?

The jeans….ah the jeans are making me sad today. Let me tell you why. They are by Phoenix Rising, which just announced yesterday that they are closing for good. I used to be the Marketing Manager for Phoenix Rising and Ashoka Eales is someone that I call a dear friend in every life….and it just really bummed me out to hear about it.  I understand though and wish her the very best. Something tells me we have not seen the last of the lovely Ash.

Right now everything at Phoenix Rising in on sale for 100L so quickly get over there before it is all gone for good.

That is it for me today!

Until next time…

Mmm…MiaMai, where have you been my entire SL?

The other day, that bossy little Aradia sent me a picture followed with an message screaming about how I had to go to Miamai and buy the skirt she was wearing in the picture. I had never heard of the store before, so I made my way over there today to check it out.  Um…yeah.

monica Outlander the designer behind Miamai is extremely gifted.  She has a wide…and I mean wide range of variety in her designs. Everything from wedding dresses to bathing suits. Oh, and mens stuff too! Weeeeee!!
