the [Collector]

The ARCADE is opening so very soon! In a few short hours it will open it's sim to everyone to join in the gacha fun. I've been so over the moon to share sneak peeks this week. It's a collector's paradise and you'll want to check out all the wonderful finds!

I love the vintage flowers from Boom with the antlers from Half Deer. The Arcade also marks the pre-release of the Luria skin from Glam Affair. It's a stunner, the lips are just so dewy and perfect.

Also opening soon is FAmeshed and Sissy was lovely to share this upcoming dress for her collection. I love the electric blue and the amazing collar detail. It's a very posh style that any lady will love.

Miamai brings their uber popular Critter Society collection to an accessory line of shoes and bags. I loved the unicorn with the wavy blue hair.  You'll really enjoy the tons of accessories that are coming to The Arcade.

The Arcade opens March 1, 2013!  Be sure to LIKE The Arcade's Facebook Page for updates and join the group inworld. For the full Shopping Guide - Click HERE!

[Immersiva]

My adventures in SL continue! Today I visited Immersiva, one of the most astounding art sims by the talented Bryn Oh!  It's full of macabre, whimsy and wonder. Of course I had to dress the part.

LeeZu released the Oxford Variant dress recently and it's a sexy take on a cute shift. It envelopes y ou in ribbons over a sheer overlay so you can see skin peeking through.  It's even got layer for the Lola Tango Appliers, but I like my small breasts so I'll leave that post to my sexier blog sisters.

The wrap sweater from Monso is another wonderful find that's perfect as we transition from the not quite so warm Spring. Perfect topper to a dress or to wear for a sexy shrug with lingerie.

Happy Shopping!

[Asian] ARCADE

Back again with MORE from The ARCADE!  Asian influences were all over the runways this season and it seems inspiration crept into our Arcade designers. I'm absolutely in love with LeeZu's curtains, they are the perfect backdrop for photos and a perfect edition to any home.  She made them modifiable so you can just about fit anywhere!

 Every time I think Glam Affair has outdone themselves, they release something WOW!  I am loving the new headpiece and I don't think I'll be taking this off anytime soon.  I totally played with mixing patterns with the japanese print on the curtains, the leopard fan and polka dots on the suitcase. Randomly delicious!

One of the cutest finds this round are the Puss Pillows from NX-Nardcotix! They are huggable and adorable to boot! The sugar skull inspired kitteh is my FAV! You'll definitely want to collect them all!

[Insectia]

I feel like shouting from the rooftops... "The Arcade is coming, The Arcade is coming!!"  It's one of my most favorite events in SL. It's unique and special as it only comes around four times a year!  Just in time for spring, The Arcade opens March 1, 2013.

The designers this round are beyond phenomenal, there is really something for everyone! One of my favs and most creative designers, Faint Paulse of Ladies Who Lunch created the most inventive collection of mechanical fantastical insects. A photo doesn't really do them justice as most have moving and illuminated parts.  You must check out Thalia Heckroth's wonderful machinima that captures their unique beauty - HERE!

The Arcade opens FRIDAY!! Until then stay tuned! I'll be one of the very honored bloggers sharing exclusive scoops on what is to come.

Happy Arcade Week!

[Suited]

Think a suit is boring and dull? Then you need to check out the chic womenswear suits at Mutresse.  There is a wide color selection and it's a great way to add a little more posh to your wardrobe!

Pairing shirts with mesh jackets is not always an easy task, but I found the most amazing dress from Kunglers that fit perfectly under the jacket. The animalistic print with hints of metallics really amps up the style.

I went shopping at Peqe the other day and found the most amazing clutch in a little gacha machine. For 25L a play you can't beat this chic peacock influenced clutch!

Happy Shopping!

[Intergalactic]

Today I'm feeling like an intergalactic meteor coming at you with fierce feminine fashion! It's all thanks to Luca Boucher of Elysium.  The Geometrica Corset is a fabulous find and I'm thrilled to showcase this piece. 

 The set is just a basic whit background with some great shadows thrown from our sim. It created a great illusion of patter behind me in shadow!

Hart Larsson of [PXL] has a new gacha featuring some stunning Kate skins. I'm wearing the Lust version that is sure make any man or well alien drool. It's the rare find but totally worth the effort!

Happy Shopping!

[Earth Hour 2013]

The amazing Dana Yotov launched the Earth Hour Profile Project to raise awareness for the World Wildlife Fund's Earth Hour Project. I'm so happy to join in and take part.

On March  23 at 8:30pm I will be turning off my lights for one hour!! 

Take the pledge with me! Enter your pledge below for Earth Hour 2013 and turn off your lights for one hour on March 23, 2013, at 8:30pm! Make your PLEDGE HERE!

From Dana's Website:

ABOUT EARTH HOUR 2013 IN REAL LIFE

Hundreds of millions of people, businesses and governments around the world unite each year to support the largest environmental event in history – Earth Hour.

More than 7,000 cities and towns in 152 countries and territories switched off their lights for Earth Hour 2012, sending a powerful message for action to save the planet. This year, more than 200,000 individuals accepting I Will If You Will challenges on YouTube to turn their symbolic action for the planet into an ongoing commitment to a sustainable future.

Earth Hour is organised by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF). With almost 5 million supporters and a global network in over 100 countries/territories, it’s one of the world's largest and most respected independent conservation organisations. WWF’s mission is to stop the degradation of the Earth's natural environment and build a future where people live in harmony with nature.

Just give me a reason... 
Some tunes you just can't get out of your head.  This is a quick post to share the fabulous finds from the latest edition of Collabor88!  The lovely Azure of Tee*fy and LaViere has the perfect pieces for the lady in all of us.  

 I'm in love still with Ava from Belleza! She's just so delicate and striking. Each time Tricky releases, I think it can't get any better. But he always amazes!  Love how they include lipstick options for this skin. It's packaged perfectly!! I wish other designers would take note! (HINT HINT - Include lipstick lines with EACH skin release!!)

The adorb cropped shirt is perfect for pattern mixing this Spring. It's from Nylon Outfitters, I adored the skirt with it but I couldn't help but use the version you can mix with others. Don't get me wrong, I LOVEEEE mesh but if something is made well on clothing layers at a fraction of the cost... why are we all going nuts for mesh only? Mix it up people! 

The latest edition of Collabor88 is up and running so get over and get your deals people!

Happy Shopping!

[Konichiwa]b*tches

 Everyday I'm just amazed by what our designers are creating. It's like I think I've found Nirvana one day and believe nothing could be better... then the very next day it's something WOW again! The new releases from Glam Affair are pushing the envelope every week. Inspiration coming from RL runways and trends like the Asian inspired Divinity hairpiece.

I'm also in love with the Fur Bolero that Maxi so graciously shared at the Euphoria Limited Bazaar for a generous $150L!  She's a sweetie and her creative fur pieces are a wardrobe staple for any true fashionista!

Most will notice that my styles are always a mix of old with new. It's fun to make one's styles original and fresh - finding pieces from our inventories is essential to standing out when everyone is rushing to wear the latest releases. The MC Escher inspired pieces created by Onyx Leshelle for the Epoch Legend event were priceless really. I love the limited edition finds and always try to snatch up, because you never know when you'll need to dust something off!

Happy Shopping!!

[Elegancia]

I am dying for spring, and lately I've felt in this grey fog just waiting for the beautiful green of a new season.  GizzA's new mesh dress reminded me of the sadness that comes at the end of the season and the joy you feel knowing that the bloom is just around the corner.

Of course, any one who knows me will attest to the fact I'm a hat whore. Yes I am insane for a beautiful chapeau! The new release from Glam Affair for Collabor88 is a stunner and again perfect for my spring ambitions.

If you are feeling a bit low and need a little reminder of what's to come... jump out to the great events and get a little retail therapy.

Happy Shopping!

[Optical] Illusions

 Runways this season were covered with bold strokes and graphic silhouettes. It's like designers were pushing colorblocking forward and more extreme. More so I see it as a challenge, like how much is comfortable and just how far can you go! 

I loved playing with the lines of this look with DIRAM's structured yet feminine blazer paired with my new favorite skirt from Indyra. I keep playing with this skirt, really it holds so much possibilities and it's right on trend.

The accents are an unexpected shade of Kermit to shake things up a bit more. I had a lot of fun with this look and would love to see your take on the new stripe trend!

Happy Shopping!
