Summertime Blues

http://Summertime Blues

I love summer, I do.  Although those years of hopping the train after work on Fridays to go up to my parent’s house by the lake for nonstop weekend activity are LOOOONG gone, somehow that’s still the image that comes to mind when I think of summer.  Close behind it are those years filled with activities with my own kids.  But this year feels so different, so many of the things I’ve continued to do even as I got older — craft fairs, outdoor concerts, barbecues, travel — are just not in the realm of possibility this year.  I haven’t even been able to play golf because I was in post-surgical mode.  And now we’re in the middle of a heat wave.  So yes, the summertime blues have got me in their grip (even though for totally different reasons than in the song)… Hmmm, I guess I need to do something drastic to snap myself out of it.  For right now, I’ll just keep reminding myself that I DO LOVE SUMMER, and dress the part! Happy shopping!

  • Shirt:  Tastic – Women’s Kai Knotted Top.  That perfect little top to throw on all summer, it just fits so well showing the perfect amount of cleavage.  And, in 6 colors or as a fatpack, it goes with everything! Sized for Tonic, Slink HG/P, Belleza F/V, Voluptuous, & Maitreya.  EXCLUSIVELY at the July round of the Swank Event, open July 7th – 30th.  Men’s version available too!
  • Flag:  sonder – Summertime Yard Flag.  A store created for the imagination & vibrance of the children of Second Life, sonder always does such wonderful family-oriented type things.  Since I don’t have children in Second Life, many of them just don’t work for me (their clothes are adorable though, for those who do!). But their outdoor items are just so cute, & I decided that planting my flag is a positive action to take to de-blue myself! Includes texture Change – 4 types of metal post & 6 different flags. Available EXCLUSIVELY at the July round of the Swank Event, open July 7th – 30th.
