It's time to remind you of another event, with the support of one of our most helpful Attentionistas as well! I am talking about one of the events most rich in quantity and quality of designers: I am talking about the Mesh Body Addicts Fair, who is closing its doors on the 21st. If you haven't visited it yet, you really should! Sponsored by one of the most useful websites for the discerning shopper who wants to compare bodyparts (hm that sounded vaguely obscene...), MBA has just over a hundred of stores partecipating in a double-decker expo where you are bound to find something for your mesh body (or bodies!) of choice. Except.... hair, for some reason? Bring your own.

Like the wonderful River Anwyl did, in this stylish look of hers!
Here's the card with her choices: she is sporting what has been without a doubt the most coveted item amongst my circle of friends as well: a great dress for the summer from the top notch brand Cynful. She wears it with such elegance. Take a look.
Bag: #187# Summer Bag - Greece
Jewelry: [MANDALA] HARAMITA Season 2
Hair: Vanity Hair - Baccara (Blacks)
Dress: [Cynful] Tiviyah Knotted Dress [@ Mesh Body Addicts fair]
And it's time for me to showcase a few nice finds from the MBAF: in both these outfits I made use of the stripper dust ...I mean, magical body glitter by Avenge! In this first one, I started with a real no-brainer one-two. Valentina E. is one of my favourite dress-makers on the grid, and this one has the perfect mix of class and sass...which for my taste is a mix heavily leaning towards the latter! A seductive lil' thing for your Maitreya, great use of materials, optional sleeves, a real head turner. And in the stall right next to it, the latest sandals by the excellent Essenz ( by the way: if you have a Belleza Isis, the version IS available but only by request! The store is gauging actual demand for the product).
So it was time to accessorize this killer combo, and I was spoilt for choice there! My choice went to the choker by Narcisse: a superbly crafted item that makes as well clever use of the materials' properties, it is customizable for fabric, boning and lacing, each in 24 textures . I also browsed through at least half a dozen of stores selling nail polish sets, and opted for my go-to brand, Koffin !
Dress: :V.e. Delilah Dress Navy w/Optional Sleeves
Shoes: Essenz - Martinique (Pack 1)
Jewelry: -Narcisse- Roxie Neck Cuff (the version shown is lightly tinted to match the dress)
Nails: DP - Koffin Nails - FatPack - Nordic Summer
Sparkle: [Avenge] Magical body glitter - blue
And now, for the other outfit...
....and then I needed jewelry! Got this ringset by Elle Boutique called Bloom. Everything you can wish for is here: bento fitted for Maitreya, Slink and Belleza, every finger is customizable separatly, with 14 textures for the bezel and gems and 7 for the metal parts. The nails I am using are also bento: I am a fan of the 'aggressive' and fashionable designs from Avanti and these bento nails for Slink and Mait really stand out. Despite this edgier note to the outfit, I really went for a sweet overall look.
So here you have these 2 shots taken using this pose pack by Nantra, which deserves a mention for providing in this 6+6 pose set the unrigged hat itself. ALWAYS so welcome!

And now, for the other outfit...
This is one good for the beach, and for casual strolls in the hot summer. The foundation of the outfit consists in this sublime bikini, a collaboration between Cuddle Up and Umbrella ! Hand painted textures, customization possible for each part - shell-shaped cups, decorative starfishes, rope and cloth - this swimsuit is so inviting. I just had to pair up its top with the denim skirt from Belzebubble. What else? Shoes of course! I walked out of the event with new heels from Breathe! Each color pack has a base color but 18 options for straps and sole! And...

I hope you will enjoy this fair if you haven't yet: as usual so many wonderful items in a true 'must visit' for the fashion victim in you! Given its sheer size, this event is the gift that keeps on giving...well, no actual 'gift', but several purchases well worth the money spent!
Have a great weekend of shopping, and remember the still VERY opened 33'000 L$ Redeux picture contest, our ongoing search for Blueberry-based outfits and that we simply LOVE to bring through these blog post your name and your style for everyone to notice and admire. Collaborating with our magazine can be a great opportunity - and a lot of fun!
