It's going to be a long hot summer with sun, sex and the sea!

As the first week of July comes to an end, the garden is in full bloom, the sun is high in the sky and those of us in the Southwest are praying to the powers that be for our monsoon season to start.  Our water bill is through the roof and I think the air conditioner is tired since it's making an odd noise, and the dust is seriously out of control!  I am ready for the skies to open up and soak the brown landscape giving life to it once again.  As you can guess, with the desert showing it's evil side lately, I have been venturing to the beaches of Second Life hoping to convince my brain that I'm not actually turning into a raisin this Summer, and as I relaxed in new goodies I picked up shopping, a photo came together and I am FINALLY able to share with you the Summer Stuffs gatcha collection from Petit Chat!

This adorable collection with starfish, shells and tags with the Sun, Sex, Sea anthem is perfect for your Summer wardrobe with the versatile HUD's, meaning it just HAS to make it's way into your jewelry box!  But you are going to have to head over to Project 7 and spend ONLY 47L a pull to grab the pieces of this collection!  There are 24 commons and 3 rares, with the rare necklace being featured above.  Each piece is incredibly well made with an amazing attention to detail, ensuring each piece goes with the others in the collection.  There are decor items, sandals and a bracelet not featured here as well as shell earrings and a choker, so hurry over to Project 7 by the 20th of July to get your hands on your perfect Summer jewelry.

Looking Red Carpet ready in Virtual Diva for The Instruments

Like any girl, I think, or anyone who likes to get all fancied up, the dream of getting to walk the Red Carpet for some star studded event is very real.  No matter if you will ever have an occasion to wear something that magnificent or not, I am guilty of perusing the photos to see the latest dress or gown the hottest stars of today have on at their latest Hollywood event.  When I set my eyes on this gorgeous new dress from Virtual Diva, an exclusive to The Instruments, I had visions of the Red Carpet and for a moment I was whisked away to a place of glitz and glamour with the paparazzi snapping photos left and right.  Doesn't matter what event you have coming up, if you are looking to stun those around you in a beautifully designed and extremely well textured dress, then head on over to The Instruments when it opens tomorrow and grab your favorite color today!
