Artizana Belili

Founded in 2007, Artizana Ethnic Couture, brings ethnic-inspired creations to Second Life. At Artizana you will find an excellent selection of quality Ethnic-inspired fashions, jewelry, footwear, accessories, and home decor items for both women and men. These detail oriented creations are lovingly crafted by Dainie Fraina in the spirit of culture, tradition, and authenticity.

This mesh skirt and blouse is called Belili, and it comes in many wonderful prints and colors. I am wearing Belili in Serendipity.  This lovely ensemble is currently available at Designer's Showcase in a variety of colors. I have completed this look with Vanity Hair's So Selfish release for the Hair Fair; anc Ltd's Passionflower hair ornament, available at the Season's Story Summer <3;  and fri.day's Laura Heels, available at Collabor88.

Otium - leisure time in which a person can enjoy eating, playing, resting, contemplation and academic endeavors. Think of withdrawing from one's daily business or affairs to engage in activities that are considered to be artistically valuable or enlightening. (Wiki  for more)

Otium in sl is a very beautiful seaside retreat with a lovely European style village that sits atop its big island's highest landform. In the village, you will discover Syra Hyun's Blogger Photography Exhibition, which consists of some of the best sl blogger artworks displayed on easels placed amongst the village's stone structures. Syra tells me that exhibit is scheduled to run through the month of July. 

Grab a beach towel, swimsuit and a swim hud and enjoy this lovely place.
