[drink]up

Are you loving this June edition of Collabor88?   The theme was very nautical, and very on-trend to real life.  This summer it seems everyone is rocking sailor tops, anchors and stripes.  I was able to get a bit of an over-dose with this month's theme!  

I did a little exploring while shooting this look and ended up on Neva River Sim. She's got a wonderful set up and it's perfect for photos.  

You have a little over a week left to nab your nautical goodies, before this round ends.  So be sure to hop over and shop til-you-drop!

One of the songs I've been singing all summer is "Rude" by Magic. Hope you enjoy it too!

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

Happy Shopping!

Love, Vi

[Hair Fair] 2013 Part II

Sassy & Attitude

 More coverage from love&fashion BLOG for Hair Fair 2013! Keeping up with the trends of releases has been so much fun. Lots of new styles that fit any mood, like sassy attitude, fierce alternative and girly poshness.

Urban & Fierce

I really fell in love with a few hairs one being an amazing FREEBIE from Emotions, the color options of ISON, and the collection of edgy shaved styles from Adoness.  With all of the really fabulous releases, it was hard to choose. So, I'm really just hitting the highlights here.  If anyone leaves Hair Fair with a linden to their name, I'll be shocked!

Girlie & Posh

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. Tons of proceeds from Hair Fair go directly to the Wigs for Kids charity! Shop PEOPLE!

[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!

[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!

Love, Vi

[Posh] Winter

 LeeZu released the most amazing jacket today!! I fell in love with the needle-point vintagey texture and fur stole details. Honestly I don't think I can do it justice with any photo. You'll have to check it out!

Feeling a bit posh today, I downed this luscious skirt from GizzA. Tres Baroque! Just added a few unique touches like the baby fox ring from Pididdle and the new clutch from Indyra Originals.

 Playing with colors abit I added the newish Grace pumps from Redgrave. Totally orange yummy!

Have fun shopping!!

[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!

[Alice] in Wonderland

The Arcade Gacha Event opens in just under FIVE hours!! Are you ready?  I have lots in store to promote the event but I had to start with the Handverk Tea Party! It's fabulous beyond words! As a huge Alice in Wonderland fan, I had to get the entire collection!

The skin is a lovely special edition for the gacha event from Glam Affair. It's from the unreleased Renee line and I fell in love with the paleness and pink cheeks. Paired with an oldie but goody from Paper Couture, it fit the Wonderland theme so very well!

Happy ARCADE Shopping!

[Urban] Chic

 

I adore Giz Seorn to infinity and beyond! She is the sweetest person and a fabulous designer, who along with her partner Auster, make the best couple in SL. GizzA is chock full of amazing creations from casual to couture. There truly is something for everyone - men and women alike!  As one of her "HEROES", I feel everyday like a kid at Christmas from her generosity. Honestly, I don't think I could ever really show her how appreciative I am for all she does for me, her friends and her group. So, here I am today trying to show off her amazing mesh tube dress and clutch!

Mesh really is just fabulous! I love that I can try pretty much any pose and it holds the correct shape. I love the detailing and textures that have more life with the platform. The entire look is mesh except for the hair from Lelutka (it's one of my favs!). 

 The MOLiCHiNO fur collar is on my must-have accessory list for this fall. It's like the perfect fashion pop to any outfit. Aurelia did a fabulous job with this collar and I do hope she releases MORE colors. HINT HINT!

I'm still loving the Faith skin from [PXL]. It's really well made and a much softer version of his traditional skins. He has done a great job putting out the skins too for purchase, you have numerous options for eyes and lips to add to your package. Plus the base skin comes with a freckle options, which I'm so happy for because I don't have to use one of my valuable tattoo layers.

I do love the poses from Slouch by Eira Juliesse!! Her poses are very editorial and perfect for runway or photography. She's currently just on Marketplace until she builds stock to open her inworld location. Stay tuned, because great things are coming from her!

Happy shopping everyone!!

Drought in the Horn of Africa, coupled with conflict in Somalia, has affected over 13 million people.
Thousands of children, women and men are dieing everyday as a result of starvation.
The United Nations World Food Program (WFP) is at the forefront of dealing with this crisis and is mounting food operations in five countries in the region (Somalia, Ethiopia, Djibouti, Kenya and Uganda).
It is our goal to raise awareness and money for this incredible crisis that has not had the kind of attention other human tragedies have garnered to date.
All in-world donations will be made to a special avatar, "HornOfAfricaCrisis Resident," who’s sole purpose is to receive in-world donations and turn them over to the WFP. The WFP has a Paypal account as does this Avatar. All SL transactions and all Paypal transactions will be published on a blog for all to view.
