The Arcade [Roar]

Happy Labor Day Weekend! Here in the US, we get to enjoy a long and fabulous end of summer weekend.  It turned out perfectly for this year's Arcade. Since I will have off Monday,  I traveled down to the boardwalk to showcase some more finds!

Blogging for The Arcade for the past year has been a tremendous joy! It's an honor to be a part of such a fabulous event. Each round tops the last and that's not an easy task. Thank  you to all of the designers and the Arcade team who work so tirelessly to bring us all something special. Happy Birthday!
  

Gotta love the awesome boom box from The Secret Store! Flashback 80s style and fabulous.  It's blaring one of my new favorite tunes, ROAR, in honor of my rockin' Le Tigre top from Emery!

The Arcade [Photobooth]

As the summer's ending and we pack away our sundresses, it's time for one last adventure on the boardwalk.  The Arcade opens Sunday, September 1st and soon practically all of Second Life® will be knocking each over to join in the gacha fun!

Just when you think there is no topping the last edition, the fabulous team at The Arcade tops themselves!  This month's event will bring some fabulous finds that will delight and amaze. I fell in love with the Worry Dolls from VCO. As a child, I had a collection of dolls that I stored in a little pouch. Every night when I went to bed I would tell the little dolls my worry and tuck under my pillow. By morning the worries I had would always be gone.

I had to make a post in honor of my little worry dolls! So happy this time they are out from under the pillow and having fun with me today at The Arcade.

The Arcade [Bunny]

Happy Birthday to The Arcade!  September 1st marks one full year of gacha fever in Second Life®. This round is phenomenal and I'm really excited to be able to share the scoop with you all. My intro post for this round is all about celebrating the fabulous history with a mix of finds from all of the events last year and exclusive previews of the upcoming edition.

Well I must say I fell head over heels in love with the bunny ears from Half Deer! The one I am wearing is the rare Origami from the September edition. The full collection is adorable but the rare ones are truly special. I really think they will be an inspiration in each of my posts for this round.

[Modern]Safari

The last days of summer are upon us, and I hope you all have been able to soak up every last second. My weekend was filled with hours outside enjoying perfect moments with family and friends.  We all get so busy with our lives it's nice to take time out to decompress. Join me on a little modern safari adventure.

Leezu Baxter never ceases to amaze me! After four years of working with her, she still blows me away with her creativity. Today's new release is no exception. The  Deklannche top is a corseted mesh top that takes bondage fashion to another level.  It comes in three base colors of black, beige and brown. There is a HUD for easy resize and texture change. The reptile and jewel parts have 9 color options.

Anyone who knows me will say I'm a crazy music nut! Check out my new favorite tune from JayZ+JT!

[Street]Couture

Lately real life has been taking up a tremendous amount of my days but it makes me enjoy my creative time in-world so much more. There are seriously so many events right now, it's becoming very hard to keep up. Today I wanted to show off a brilliant new gown from CIA Designs for The Black Fair and this amazing one-armed mesh tattoo from a new-to-me brand Tenjin.

Oh and I had to join in on Berry's Meme of the week!  I'm quite ashamed of my inventory. My dear friend Miaa has been encouraging me to organize - at this point I think it's beyond hope. But I do try to clean it out ever so often.

Meme Instructions: Copy and paste the questions and answers below, delete my answers and input your own. Don’t forget to leave a comment with your link so I can come by and read it!

1. What is your current inventory number? – 119,779 (please don't judge :p)
2. If you had to delete your whole inventory and could only keep one thing, what would it be? – Animation Override (it's got tons of animations from a lot of different places and it makes me feel like ME)
3. What is the last thing you purchased? – Paper Couture 2013 Collection  - Jewelry & Hats
4. Which item do you wear most often? – Glam Affair Freckles
5. When you search for the word penis, how many items pop up? (NO LYING!) – 5 (one penis object the remaining are joke photos - click HERE to see.)

Today's tuneage is from Foxes! A great new song that helped inspire the feeling of this post. Music is my muse!

Modern [Flapper]

With the latest round of Collabor88 in full swing, the feeds are filled with all of the great vintage inspirations from the Razzle Dazzle 20s inspired theme.  I started thinking more of how to make a look more up-to-date and chic but keeping with that vintage feel. My modern flapper was born.

Challenging myself with this modern flapper look, I wanted also to apply this vintage vs modern quest to my inventory. We often get so wrapped up into buying the NEW,  when we have some fabulous creations gathering virtual dust in our massive inventories.  So this look is all about mixing the vintage with the new to create a cohesive style.

The ISON vest is really a masterpiece and on it's way to be an essential in my wardrobe. Paired with the Victoria shorts from LeeZu, you get a silhouette reminiscent of a traditional flapper dress.  The hair is styled in a completely vintage shape, but the fiery red is perfectly modern.  My accents are some of my unique vintage LeeZu finds mixed with modern mesh trims.
 
In keeping with the theme, it reminded me about my obsession with the Gatsby soundtrack. It's filled with AMAZING tuneage.  Today I was feeling the Andre3000/Beyonce cover of the famous Back to Black. It takes this modern song with a retro vibe from the amazing Amy Winehouse to a whole new level. Listen HERE.

Over the [Love]

Happy Birthday Collabor88!!  In a few short hours, they officially turn TWO. Everyone has joined in to celebrate their anniversary. And by everyone, I mean over SEVENTY designers contributing to this occasion! So, put on your party dress and Charleston on over!!

This month's theme is all about the Gatsby and the Roaring 20s! This decade filled with decadence and abandon leads itself to some pretty inspirational collections like the Loft's contribution, Alder's Living Room. It's art deco in perfection and the precise backdrop for a fabulous little flapper girl care of the Secret Store.

Get your TP's ready to go when the Collabor88 event opens at midnight 8.8.13.  You'll want to be first in line to enjoy this creative round!

My tuneage for this post was totally inspired from the Gatsby soundtrack! Enjoy a little Florence + The Machine's "Over the Love".

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

Happy Collabor88 Shopping!

Love, Vi
