[Geisha] House



Exploring SL is one of my favorite things to do! We have this gigantic world full of amazing SIMS.  Today I found myself among the Geisha Houses, and I couldn't help but feel inspired.  Read more for SLURL and styling info!


Collabor88 for December had tons of great finds, including this little Japanese dress. I'm wearing here as a shirt over my leggings from Hucci and accented with a great belt from GizzA. Taketomi just released this amazing new bob! The dipdye set is a great buy because it includes basic subtle dips and this fun blonde/red one.


I had so much fun styling and traveling today! Hope you will check out the sim and share your photos!

Happy Exploring!

Love, Vi

[Yellow]


It's hard to believe this year is nearly gone. Seems like yesterday we just celebrated New Years and that time is nearly upon us again!  I do hope everyone made each moment count in 2012 and are looking forward to all the possibilities of 2013! 

Most of my time lately has been with family in real life, so I was happy to escape for a little SL break the other day. Throwing on LeeZu's new Time Square Overknee Boots, I visited one of the most beautiful sims... Alirium.


I love the warm colors and the soft focus sort of haze of nature at Alirium. You can't help but feel the warmth. For my look, I just played with the yellows from the boots and built with some pieces from Ladies Who Lunch and LpD.



Happy Shopping!

Love, Vi

[MORE] TDR Fusion


Yes another Mayfair photo! I couldn't help it - finally I'm able to rezz and take piccies on the sim. SO, I popped my cherry so to speak. Deal with it :P


I love the new selections from TDR Fusion that opened yesterday. Lots from R.icielli but I loved the fat pack of print-screen tanks. Paired with their skin tight high-waisted jeans, you are bound to want to strut your stuff. Super sexy and chic! 


The accessories available at TDR are always amazing!  I loved the new LaGyo earrings and Glow Studio necklace. I added the clutch from R.icielli that was only 70L last week with a great dress. Don't miss out on the bargains people!



Happy Shopping!

[Second Life Homepage] Winter Holiday



*Squeals!!!* I am so very excited!! It's such a huge honor to be asked by Linden Labs to contribute for the Second Life Homepage. The theme was Winter Holidays - and I found inspiration in The Little Drummer Boy by Bing Crosby and David Bowie.

Outfit Miss Tre by LeeZu Baxter (Let me just say it was so hard to choose something to wear but I had to pay an ode to the woman who has believed in me sooooo very long. I love you Miss Baxter and thank you for all you do for SL!) Working with the lovely ladies of [LeeZu!] has been one of my proudest accomplishments - much love to Miss Barbara Nicholls who has been a shining beacon of support and love forever!! She's a gem of a person.

[Come a Little Closer]

 More newness for you ladies! LeeZu Baxter recently released the lovely Kaya Gown. It's a fitted sheath style dress with flexi attachment to add a little movement that mesh sorely lacks. I love the graybrown version, tres chic!


The daring slit up the side left ample room for my fav thigh-high mesh boots from Baiastice. I find myself popping back over and drooling over the other colors. Maybe Santa will grant my wish! (hint-hint :P)


L'accessories December round opened this weekend with the perfect bow from DRIFT. I really love the look and it's so versatile for any style. Sometimes a little black accent adds a pop of chic to any outfit.

Happy Shopping!
Love,
Vi

[Apartment] Pants


Everyone loves that episode of Friends when Rachel's sister visits and she discovers her "apartment pants." Just like Friends, you'll fall in love with the super stylish suede capri pants of the same name from DRIFT.


Miss Kallisto Destiny really found the perfect everyday pants! I love that even my new booties from Celoe work with the look. No more shoe fits because your cute new booties won't fit.


Most know one of my many loves in SL is the store Kunglers! The sister designers of Ava and Barbra are dolls and just all around wonderful ladies. They've just released a new jewelry line, named Solaris, and I fell for the simple yet bold necklace from the collection. 

Happy Shopping!

Love,
Vi

[Velvet]


New deliciousness at Collabor88 by Tee*fy, a wide-array of vintage-y pencil skirts with add-on peplum belts. For only 88L you can mix and match to your hearts content. I found some inspiration in Lana Del Ray and got my vintage groove on!


 Perfect accessories are still available at The ARCADE like The Secret Store's amazing satchel. A super find that will be one of your go-to wardrobe staples. Don't forget the new Liaison pumps at Maitreya. They run 875L each, but you have options of with socks and without along with options for sole color, plus you can remove the ankle strap. Tons of options for any look.


A little pop of color with yellows, oranges and pinks gives this look a playful edge. I added the Romantic clutch from Magic Nook, now available at TDR Fusion for a bargain price. Everything at TDR will run you 40-70L!


I love the gold peplum belt add-on, it adds a very luxe feel to the basic beige pencil skirt. Of course I had to pair this look with my favorite Nif Nif gloves from LeeZu and the new knee-high boots from Baiastice.

Lots of shopping still left if you hurry! Don't miss all the great events and sales.

Love,
Vi

[Sound]system


I'm still in love with the Tee*fy Radios at The ARCADE. Retro fabulousness! Today mine is pumping out vintage punk/ska... "Sound system going to bring me back up, it's the one thing I can depend on!!" - 'Sound System' by Operation Ivy


 Monso released the most amazing new combat boots for Collabor88, and I happily danced around with all the newness. The red leather is perfect to make any outfit pop. With versions for men and women, they're sure to make the masses very happy!


Don't forget to stop by Limited Bazaar at Euphoria this weekend before the limited edition pieces disappear. I really loved this tie tank from CIA. Simply awesome!  Oh and don't forget the With Love Hunt!! It's one of my favorite yearly traditions in SL, and at 10L this Kazakh hat from [sYs] is a mesh marvel!


Another great find at Collabor88 is the new Loire hair from Tableau Vivant. I'm really loving this long flowy style.  I'm not usually a long hair fan but these are very well made, with layered pieces over top of each other but still a straight style with body.

Happy Weekend Shopping!

Love, Vi

[ARMY] of Me


I just didn't think today could get better... boy was I wrong!  The new release from DIRAM is this stunning mesh overcoat, with a tremendous color scheme! There are only 100 of this coat available now at Limited Bazaar at Euphoria.


 I loved playing with the colors in this look! The browns, blues and red really lent themselves to an adventurous styling challenge. Plus, I really love any opportunity to show off my favorite RARE find from my gacha addiction, the Studded Clutch from Milk Motion. It was from the last ARCADE event but it's still a goodie!


The new Liaison shoes from Maitreya Gold are just a to-die-for pair of stilettos. After running to snatch up my own pair, I had to send a message to Onyx letting her know how happy I was with this new release. Drool worthy is an understatement!

TDR Fusion opens it's doors today at 12pm SLT! It's chocked full of amazing goodness with a ton of designer bargains ranging from 40-70L!  Here's a quick mix I put together with a few awesome pieces. You'll notice I'm channeling a bit of Miss Amy Winehouse today. Can you hear the tunes from my radiooooooo? "I told you I was trouble...I told you I'm no goooooood!"


The new snow leopard coat from Mimikri is a luxe find for a super bargain at TDR Fusion! You can't beat the 70L price. It will make a fierce addition to anyone's wardrobe. I can see you all now banging on thedoors to get in...patience my little ones, it will open soon!!


I'm pretty sure that everyone will be drooling over Siddean Munro's new Vanity boots! With three colors for sale, this bargain is not to be missed. I love the zipper accents on the side. Super amazing mesh of course, I think everything Siddean touches turns to GOLD!

Of course I couldn't live with out one of the awesome finds from The ARCADE, the Tee*fy Cassette Radios. Super cool and perfect for amping up any style!

Since April of 2010, The Dressing Room has made it's mark as the leading collaborative discount shopping experience. TDR, as it's come to be known, is a mainstay for any shopper on a budget.  Never with anything more than 70L, it's been a must-stop for anyone looking for a bargain on skins, hair, clothing and accessories. The newly revamped concept, named TDR Fusion will open with a bang on December 7, 2012 with one large collection of designers with more choices and prices ranging from 40-70L.


I couldn't wait to showcase some of the hot finds before the shop opens! This beyond sexy tank dress from Baiastice is a jaw-dropping hot number that any woman would die to have in her closet. MONS offering for the TDR Fusion opening is the Sunny skin with additional eyeshadow and lipstick packs available for purchase. The make-ups from MONS are always a stunner!


Magic Nook has wonderful accessories and I adore this new clutch! It's beautifully crafted and comes with color-changing options. Of course I LOVE the ever amazing Glow Studio and there endless selection of accessories, the new So Soft set is perfection and a great bargain at TDR Fusion.

Last but not least, I had to show off the new Nightingale's Glee photography prop from Diesel Works. It's so easy to use and comes with 16 poses. I had fun playing with all the poses and finding the best angles for my look today.

Happy BARGAIN Shopping!
