Don't Let It End

Hiya everyone! The weather here may indicate that summer is slipping away, but we can hold onto it by visiting the Wash Cart Sale during their current round with its Indian Summer theme. Most of the items are just $10L each, while each designer can offer a special $50L item as well. There are so many terrific bargains there, as usual, it is always worth visiting. My title can also apply to the hunt I have been enjoying, the Renaissance VI Hunt, as there is something very elegant about the fashions and decor from the Renaissance period and I appreciate that so many places in SL are keeping those things alive. This round's theme is the myths and legends of the Renaissance, which are plentiful and thought-provoking.

First up, this fantastic find from the cart sale is from Dark Water Designs, and is their $50L item. This is their Indian Summer Boho Set, in which you will find the maxi skirt and belt each in standard mesh sizes, along with the peasant blouse in 8 fitmesh sizes (including Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink) plus a HUD to choose between the two colors I have shown above. I love the style and the colors, and it really suits the cart sale theme quite well. You can visit Dark Water Designs' main store by clicking here, and the direct link to the cart can be found in the credits.

Here you can see two of the several selections available at the Eluzion cart, both of which made me smile at first sight. The dress on the left is their Davinna CRAZY Dress, which as soon as I wear around my partner Xan will cause him to chuckle and agree. On the right is the Shamira Skull PINK Dress, and the skull pattern is surprisingly subtle until you look closely which I found to be a fun touch. These are both really flattering styles, and each is provided in 8 fitmesh sizes including Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink so you can get a great fit. Just $10L each and there are plenty others to choose from, so if you can't decide between these, perhaps grab both :) You can visit Eluzion's mainstore here, and the cart direct link is in the credits.

On the Renaissance hunt trail, I stopped at Miss Darcy (#024) and found this charming Once Upon a Time - Harvest Time fitmesh dress as our prize. It includes small, medium, and large sizes and has a classic design with lovely autumn colors. I added another hunt prize from #025 Buccaneer's Restorations, which actually includes the beautiful Isthmian Poseidon Cameo in 4 versions: Lady's Necklace (shown), Lady's Carcanet which is a shorter version of the necklace, Hero's Chain, and a Brooch which can be adjusted anywhere since there is no chain attached. There is a fascinating notecard included with information behind the cameo itself and some other history from that era.

One last look for the evening is another hunt prize, this time from #027 Lillou's Designs. This is their [LD] Marquise in Green, and includes the top and glitch pants in system layers and an Omega applier, the floaty flexi skirt and sleeves, and matching hat which all have resize scripts for convenience. The soft color really caught my eye as well, like a pretty seafoam shade.

Tonight is the first evening I have been able to have a window open instead of relying on the air conditioner to cool things, and I must say that fresh air feels glorious!! Next week here will have some highs in the upper 80s but the nights should be more fall-like so I intend to enjoy them to the fullest. I hope you're all having a great evening with a terrific weekend ahead, magical magpie hugs to each of you!!
