[Hair Fair] 2014

Hair Fair 2014 is about to open, and I've spent all day getting the inside scoop on this year's finds!  I was in hair heaven looking through all the shops and loving this year's trends.  Some of the top trends include braids, tousled waves and epic couture styles.

[Braids&Tails]

No hair wardrobe is complete without the perfect braided 'do.  I have to say Lelutka nailed it this year with their side swept plaits.  Another front runner was the pigtail braids from Tram.  A new to me brand, elua, really impressed me with their low ponytail.

[Streetwear&Rainbows]

I loved all the rainbow hues available this year! Tons of options and people really are pushing the envelope with color theory and hair texturing.  I did a bit of mix&match dye job with Lamb since this style is in 2 parts. And you MUST pick up the FREEBIE from (red)Mint.

[Long&Flowey]

One can never have too many long and flowey straight styles and the ones from LoQ'ue, Lamb and Mina are beyond heavenly.  I really loved their natural tones and the loose slightly tousled style.

[Couture&Golden]

The cherry on top this year for me was the really adventurous couture hairstyles.  I fell in LOVE with the geisha-esque style from [sYs], the fans are color change and I must have spent an hour playing with all of the options.  Another winner of course was the amazing couture collection from Miamai, I could have blown my entire budget just in their shop.  Lelutka also won out with their frizzy-wide look. It will a perfect topper to edge out any look.

Of course this was a long post and I hope you will dive further for the details. Hair Fair '14 opens 7/12/14.  Get your HAIR FAIR links HERE!

[POP]

"Live fast. Die young. Bad girls do it well." M.I.A. might pull off the bad girl better, but I couldn't help throwing a little 'tude in my new outfit from DirtyMind.  Bad girls still rock pink, right?

Super quick post on a Wednesday!  I've had this punk inspired look in my closet for a month, just trying to find a little time to do it some justice. Be your own 'Bad Girl' with a dose of M.I.A.

Stay tuned this month, I'll have some great previews from Shoetopia 2013 starting  next week!

[Someone] else

Hello lovelies! It's been far too long since I've had a chance to blog.  Inspiration truly had left the building.  Thank you to the lovely Miaa Rebane for being my muse. I missed blogging and it really felt sad not finding inspiration. The look reflects how I felt like someone else.

Of course, I have a little tuneage for you today.  Please do not judge, but I'm in complete LOVE with Miley's new album Bangerz.  Someone Else is just perfection and it feels like ME right now. 

"I used to believe love conquers all
Cause that's what I felt when you held me
I thought you'd catch me if I fall
And fill me up when I'm empty"

[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.

[Hair]fair 2013

Short&Accessorized

 Hair Fair 2013 has arrived!! Let the excitement begin!  For me, Hair Fair has got to be one of my most favorite events in SL!  I get giddy like Christmas waiting for the sims to open, and can't wait to jump in and see all the newness! Trends for this years event - Accessories, Color, & Whimsy.

Long&Colorful

 I went a little crazy this year nabbing up a ton of styles. Lately, there just hasn't been much hair releases probably because every designer was working hard to put forth these amazing new releases. There really is something for everyone from the avant garde/couture to the everyday with a bit of whimsy.

Mid&Whimsy

This is my first taste, I have some more to share soon. Stay tuned peeps!

Hair Fair is open to the public - if you want to plan ahead, it's probably a good idea to check out the DEMO group so you can map your attack!  Check out the Hair Fair blog for more details.

[Everything]

Some days you just feel like throwing on a bit of everything. No rhyme or reason, just having a bit of styling fun. I love to put things together one wouldn't expect and I really had a blast mixing some new with old!

 I'm in LOVE with the new Memoire Pencil skirts from Indyra Originals! So fabulous in the geometrical pattern and a play of color blocking with whites. The new headband from .SHI is a free gift to all group members. You don't want to miss that at all!

If you haven't picked up the 70L Bax Booties at TDR Fusion, you have one week left!

more, More, MORE.... 

[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
