One of the things that makes blogging so much fun is the variety. When it comes to fashion, putting the look together is obviously the most important, but it doesn’t end there. Sometimes you want a simple look without a lot of distraction — just find the right pose and the right background and the right windlight, etc.. But other times, the “vision” really calls for you to make a scene, which means on top of all that you need to find the right props and place them “just so.” To tell the truth, though, I have tons of fun doing that, and really admire those bloggers who do that each and every time. I tend to lose patience, not to mention it can get costly. That said, I had a ton of fun (I won’t mention the ton of frustration with the house that WAS in the background, ruining the shot), and ended up with some great decor items! To me, that’s definitely a win-win!
- Swimwear: GGVG Fashion – Sunset Bikini & Sarong. Let’s be honest: there are a lot of great swimsuits out there, from bikinis to monokinis & more. It really takes something extra to make one stand out. GGVG has done that with three different suits by adding different “somethings,” in this case a truly awesome sarong. Don’t get me wrong, the suit itself is STUNNING… the fabric is small without being too small if you get my meaning, the straps wrap double under the breasts for added interest, the bottom straps sit high on the hips. As I said, stunning. The optional sarong though is what really sets it apart, it’s much more substantial than others I’ve seen, but the way it’s tied & the way it’s hung is so natural & still gives full view of the suit from the front, it’s exceptional. And of course there’s a HUD, so you choose from any of 15 textures (solids & prints) for the top & the bottom, & 8 for the sarong. Also available in a lace & beaded version. Sized for Tonic, Slink HG/P, Belleza F/I/V, Legacy, & Maitreya. Both are EXCLUSIVE at the July Swank Event, which opens tomorrow July 7th.

Includes two different holds that are completely AO & pose friendly (as you can see, I’ve combined it with a pose, listed below), plus a HUD for 8 different textures.
