[LWL] AV F/W 13

 AVENUE S/S Fashion Week '13 opens in a few days. The upcoming event will include runway shows, retail shopping (limited haute couture as well), and after-parties that will  make even the most sinister fashionista pleased. There really is something for everyone!  My first post to kick off F/W is focused on the Ladies Who Lunch collection. For me it was love at first site!

The collection is filled with neon brights and candy delights! It's the perfect introduction to Spring. I always adore Faint's fashion viewpoint. It's always refreshing and unique combinations!

All poses are by Rogan Diesel of Diesel Works, many from the upcoming Beth & Lourdes sets exclusively at Pose Fair 2013!

Fashion Week starts March 31 and runs through April 6! Details HERE.

Be safe out there my little fashionistas! The world is full of great finds, shop responsibly!

Happy Shopping!

[LOVE]you make

Today is all about Collabor88 romantic goodness!  According to this mural at Tableau, "All you need is Love. And in the End, the love you take is equal to the love you make."  I can't think of a better sentiment! 

Feeling the romantic pink LOVE...I watched the 80s classic, Pretty in Pink with Molly Ringwald the other day and I couldn't help but think this would be an outfit Andie would totally adore. The looks she rocked were very inspiring, and I can't help think...WWAD? So, if you see some more PINK posts...you'll know why!

Don't forget to pick up all the amazing pink&cream goodness at Collabor88 this month! If you're a girlie girl, you'll love the soft looks and pretty color palettes.

Also, the Skin Fair 2013 is still in full swing! You have a few days left to snatch up some terrific creations like this one from JeSyLiLO!

Be safe out there my little fashionistas! The world is full of great finds, shop responsibly!

Happy Shopping!

[Pia]

Just a super quick post to share another love post for the new Pia skirt from [LeeZu!]. I keep finding excuses to wear it, so I thought I'd share. I've paired with the AMAZING studded jacket from Baiastice. Which, BTW comes with great HUD to change the inner shirt and stud textures.

[Balloon]

 Lately I've been a kid in a candy store with all the new releases from the amazing events happening in SL! I feel like I'll float away on a happy cloud of awesomeness! Today, I'm sharing some new finds from The Liaison Collaborative and TDR Fusion. Both opened TODAY!

Belleza's new Mya skin is a STUNNER! It's sexy and girl-next-door all at the same time. I love the nose on this one, and my new fav. This version is exclusively available at The Liaison Collaborative Boutique.

The beautiful dress and pumps with stockings are newness from Baiastice! I am in love with both and imagine I'll be floating around all weekend through the clouds!

[japanese]SONG

Hello world, quick post with more Skin Fair 2013 goodness! This is the lovely Song skin from the illusive Shai Delacroix from Casa Del Shai.  She is back with two new Japanese inspired skins exclusively at Skin Fair.

I've always loved kimono's ever since my Aunt brought me back a beautiful doll in full silk kimono from her business trip in Japan. Ever since, I've found it to be the epitome of innocence and beauty.  Shai captures that innocence with her fully hand painted skin.

Happy Shopping!

[BOUND]

When you find something you love, it inspires you! The Pia leather skirt from LeeZu has had me a wee bit style crazy! Also, I'm just still in love with the new Fei skin from Elysium coming March 15th to Skin Fair 2013. (See the last style with both HERE).

Also well the new Angelina strappy corset pumps from GOS Boutique are a dream.  I sort of got "wrapped" up in the theme of bondage and restraint. LeeZu's BDSM line was a great inspiration and pieces from that collection helped accent the look.

The collar corset is a Marketplace find from this brilliant shop named ROSAL. It's a very roleplay oriented style but the collar in no other word is AMAZING. The full fat pack version is tintable, and you can adjust every aspect of the colors on the mesh collar. Check it out!

[cherry]Blossom

 Spring is a time for beauty. Nothing signifies spring to me more than Cherry Blossoms. We have the most stunning trees here and when they bloom you are surround by ethereal wonder.  It's fitting the first installment of The Liaison Collaborative used these as inspiration.

The first monthly cycle of TLC's Boutique opens March 15th and runs until April 10th. You'll love the parasol from Picture This! and the cherry blossoms from HISpose.  I really adored the new Keiko Silk Top from 22769 and the earrings from EarthStones.  You'll be tickled pink and green with all the pretty things!

If you are in search of the perfect ethereal skin, look no further than Alchemy! They've released a special edition pink brow version of their Elfin skin exclusively at Skin Fair 2013. Be sure to check it out along with all of other great new skins when it opens on March 15th.

[simple]

 I'm in love. LOVE. L O V E. Her name is Nea.  It's a beautiful mesh avatar head from Snow Rabbit. It's a fully animated head and honestly a photo doesn't capture her wonderful beauty. She blinks, smiles and just is...simply beautiful. She is brand new and available only at Skin Fair 2013!

Be sure to check out the very sweet Odette dress from World's End Garden. It's an exclusive design for Fashion For Life 2013! You have to pick it up before the event closes on March 16th.

Skin Fair 2013 opens March 15th! You all will fall in love with all the great finds!

This year, The Skin Fair will take place from Friday, March 15, through Sunday, March 31. The fair will showcase new and exclusive skins from over 80 of your favorite designers from around the grid. We have been careful to include skins that would appeal to everyone including male and female skins, child skins, fantasy skins, and even mesh avatars!

The fair covers two sims this year which is good news for everyone because that means more people can shop at once. We will be enforcing a strict script policy at the fair. Please come in as little as possible but as the sims are PG, please make sure that all private parts are covered. Detach all objects that you may be wearing. This will allow for a better shopping experience for all. There will be a lag free outfit dropped in the Skin Addiction group and the Skin Fair 2013 group before the fair begins. If you do not have your own lag free items to wear, feel free to grab the outfit from the notices and wear it.

To keep up to date on the events of the skin fair, you can join the Skin Fair 2013 group. We will be making announcements in that group as well as the Skin Addiction Group. Please copy and paste the following link into your SL browser to join the Skin Fair 2013 group here.

We are looking forward to an amazing skin fair this year and hope to see you there! Doors will open March 15 at 12:01am. The location will be announced at a later time. It is sure to be the event of the year so don’t miss it!

Happy Shopping!

[UN]zipped

Quick post today to showcase a sneak peek of the new Fei skin from Elysium that's coming March 15th to Skin Fair 2013! Also, I'm super excited to show off the new Pia skirt from [LeeZu!]. It's a mesh+system layer hybrid with a super sexy unzipped side panel.

I'm in love with Fei!  She's a beauty with lots of options for every lady! It even has a no brow option for a high fashion editorial look.

If you haven't had a chance to stop by Collabor88, be sure to grab the new blazer from Elate. It's fitted with a dramatic flair. There are several color options but a girl can't go wrong with black.

There are a ton of great events running currently. Be safe out there my little fashionistas! The world is full of great finds, shop responsibly!

[the]Goddess

Fashion For Life 2013 is hours away and I'm really amazed by all the stunning creations this year. It's awe inspiring to know so many donated their time to such a great cause. I found inspiration in their efforts and I'm excited to share these beautiful works!

PULL created the most stunning jade green gown with such a lush texture, it was the dress that led me down the formal path! The golden bouquet upon my head is a stunner from Finesmith and one of my fav finds at FFL!

 Another tremendous find is the Dana gown from Bliss Couture. I love the sequins with the ombre effect!  The Miamai headpiece is one of the most original creations in SL, and for ages I've wanted to use it in a photo. I've tinted it a bit to coordinate, but I love unexpected macabre of it all. I had a bit of fun with the Shakeup! fans from The Arcade with each of my looks.

Last but not least is a new release from CIA! Ayla created something so original and chic. I loved the wild animal print panels over such a formal dress. I played up the colors with the new headpiece from Glam Affair available exclusively at Collabor88.

A few parting words today...

Inspiration guides me in life. It's where I find my peace.  Ever so more in these past few years, I try to let that little voice speak louder and lead the way. It's like learning to trust an instinct. As a cancer survivor, you learn to appreciate the that voice even more and strive to find that zone of comfort and creativity.  To all the survivors, caregivers & loved ones...make each moment count to honor the gifts we've been given and to honor those lost. Thank you to all of the designers, organizers and volunteers who put so much time and effort into this year's Fashion For Life 2013.

Be safe out there my little fashionistas! The world is full of great finds, shop responsibly!

Happy Shopping!

[Geek] Arcade

The ARCADE is still going strong and I had to share a few more finds along with the cutest new release from Elymode! I'm sure most will rock the dress in all it's sexy goodness, but I was feel a bit geeky today.

The adorable cap from Milk Motion was one of my random buys and happily landed the orange one I wanted. My luckiest purchase by far was the boots from Ison. One play and I scored the Rare Floral version. Yes, I squealed! This is totally why gacha is so addictive, you get a little high when you win the rare!

Those LeeZu curtains sure are getting a workout in my studio! I love using them for backdrops and my little house never looked cuter. Score squared!

The Arcade opened 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!

[Isis] for FFL

Fashion For Life 2013 begins March 9th and this year's contributing designers have really wowed us all with their amazing designs!  You'll be a kid in a candy store with the unique fashions and great buys all benefiting the American Cancer Society Relay for Life.

The [sYs] design duo of Syane and Systi Cisse put together a cyber-futuristic version of the goddess Isis. The look includes the new Cleo hair, Naomi skin with dynamic make-up with cyber chin jewel that would make even Ramses jealous.   Of course the stunner is a fitted latex gown with animated lights in hieroglyphics.  It was most difficult to capture the lights in a photo, you'll have to take my word for it's fabulousness!

I love how the sisters take real life fashion inspirations and make it their own!  Check out the Christian Dior Haute Couture Spring 2004 collection from John Galliano for more.
