Following my last post I was thrilled to see a packed house at the RFL Grande Finale Fashion Show at the Sky Globe Theatre last Sunday & Monday. Organised by Ina Centaur and hosted by Sensuality Cordeaux the items worn were 100% Relay For Life from skin, hair and eyes to clothes, shoes and jewellery. If you missed this historic event all is not lost. The RFL Vendor Fair continues until the 19th July at Skin City.
Another historic, or should I say “momentous” RFL event is due to take place this Sunday, 13th July – the Momento RFL Benefit Auction.

The organisers, Alaska Metropolitan and Tigerlily Koi promise us it will feature “Limited Editions, Exceptionally Hard-to-Finds & Original One-of-a-kind creations, all from some of the grid’s finest Designers; Past, Present & New Rising Talents.” I’m reliably told to expect some items from Last Call/Dazzle, Random Calliope and the very last Fishook Dress by Eshi Otawara which I previously featured here. All auction items are donated by your favourite designers and the proceeds will all go to Relay For Life. Mark it on your calender!
Until then you can amuse yourself and find some bargains into the… erm.. bargain at the Relay For Life Yardsale. Designers from all over the grid have cleared out their inventories and are offering YOU their cast-off’s at very reasonable prices. Ever wanted to know what is lurking in the depth of your favourite fashionista’s closet? Now is your chance to find out!
On to the fashion. I have three more Relay For Life outfits for you today, slightly more casual than last week’s offerings. The first is a beautiful dress from Nicky Ree, the Penny Dress in pink. Nicky has reworked the handdrawn fabric she used for her older “Flight of Fancy” collection to create this fabulous summer dress. Perfect for strolls along the beachfront on warm summer evenings followed by drinks with friends in the garden of your favourite pub.
With it I am wearing Elikapeka Tiramisu’s Survive hair. This comes in three packs of five shades, each for a mere L$400 donation and won’t be available after the 19th July. The hair beads are made specifically for this style by Eolande. A similar set are available for ETD’s other RFL hair, Strength III, but the beads can easily be adjusted and worn with any hairstyle. An easy way to add a little funk to your look.
Also from Eolande is the jewellery, a version of her Celtic Blossom Jewellery in a very pretty and unique RFL metal. I’ve been a fan of Eolande’s hair accessories since she first started and her more recent jewellery offerings are of the same high standard at a very reasonable price.
I just love these leg lengthening platform shoes from Tesla, so much so that, after trying on the beige version that I was sent for review, I went and bought the four-pack. At L$300 for a great shoe in black, beige pink and pale blue from one of the best sculptie shoe makers on the grid you just can’t go wrong though. Hurry, they will only be around for 10 more days!

Outfit 1
The next outfit I wore for days on end. As much as I adore getting dressed up, looking glamorous and earning my fashionista stripes, when I’m mulling around doing day-to-day work around the grid, building or shopping, this is exactly the sort of thing I’ll be wearing.
The clothing is from a shop I’d not heard of before, Nova by designer NovaStar Shilova. The jeans are sold as part of another outfit, but here I have teamed them with the gorgeous cashmere hoodie in Blossom from the same designer. It’s not shown well here, but the jeans outfit comes with four designs of chest tattoo, each the kanji symbol for courage, health, love and strength respectively, perfect symbolism for a RFL gift.

Outfit 2
My favourite part of this outfit has to be the Francoise Flats from Shiny Things. I don’t often wear flat shoes in SL as most I’ve seen are on the clumpy side, even ballet flats. But Fallingwater Celladoor has shown yet again why she is one of the most noteworthy shoe designers on the grid with her perfect, naturally shaped offering. They come in a number of shades/patterns, but I chose multiswirl as a shoe that will match almost any outfit.
Relay For Life isn’t just about fashion. Builders of every kind have made items for this cause and two of them can be seen in this photograph. The sofa is part of a 16+ piece low prim, sculpted living room set by Topaz Square and comes in a variety of colourways, and the Crystal candlelight Lamp is from Henredon Homes, the designers behind Calla’s new store.
The last of today’s offerings is from a designer who is relatively new to the SL fashion scene, but has deservedly created a storm – Zaara. The designs in this store are bang-on-trend right now, mixing modern design with ethnic patterns.

Outfit 3
For RFL Zaara has released this beautiful babydoll style dress called “Freespirit” in pink. Little details such as the ribbon tie at the back, as well as the stunning pattern and colour combinations set this apart. I’m wearing it with the ultra-realistic Gaeae skin from IC-skins, another RFL creation from the ever-generous Ina Centaur and Random Calliope’s Heart & Soul jewellery, a RFL Limited Edition set.
My thanks go to all the designers who not only created these items, but who also put in so much time and effort to organise events to amuse, educate and entertain us whilst raising money for this important cause.
