Despite the fact that the temperature is barely above freezing here, you can always find some summer cornfields to skip through in Second Life. I love that the virtual weather completely validates my somewhat unseasonal choice of outfit.
These stunning eyelashes were purchased at Calla following a tip-offf from the lovely Beulah Mills. She said these were the best prim lashes she's ever worn - I'd hate to play favourites, but I will say I'm pretty taken with them myself. They were easy to fit (praise be!) and they beckon in silken tones that few red-blooded males could resist. An absolute must if you're getting dressed to impressed, Tigerlily Koi has several different styles available so you can pick a match depending on your mood.

I was looking for a light nude makeup and settled with this one from Cupcakes. I was won over by this creamy skin, particularly the pretty face which carries a natural shade to the lips and a soft golden glow on the eyelids. I like the definition on the upper lids, the shimmer to the inner eye and slightly smoked outer some added impact. While the blush is strong, it really works with this complexion - even the slight, unkempt brows fit the face perfectly.
The one-shoulder top is Flutterby by Lookr. It's so easy to wear and stands well alone, although you could just as easily layer it. It doesn't need too much dressing, and is a nice alternative to the simpler cami styles if you're looking for a very feminine casual top.
I adore this belted skirt by Sugar Cube. The a-line skirt falls in stiff pleats, and has an angled hemline because of it. The top runches and poufs above the belt for an unusual line: this paired with the bright tulip print quite compelled me to make a purchase. It can be a nightmare putting together print designs due to seaming issues, and is probably why we don't see a huge number of patterned items in the shops. It's a real treat when designers produce quality pieces like this.
I know I haven't long since modelled these sexy heels from SLink, but I do so adore them. Their being painfully beautiful demands a regular outing from their box, and since the HUD makes it so simple to match skin colour, I can bring them out for any occasion and it barely takes a minute to get them set up. I think Siddean Munro may well have made a prim feet convert out of me - and it's taken all my mental will not to start writing terrible puns in relation to that fact.
To finish, I added these strung shell bangles from Zaara and capped it all off with a darling hairdo from Decoy. It's a volume rich pony tail accessorised with a simple alice band. The fringe falls heavily to the right side, with loose strands to the left that balance the look. The hair is rather loosely pulled to the back, giving a wispy softness that really worked well with the outfit.
