[cozy]

The fire is warm, cappuccino is ready,  the tree is adorned and the stockings are hung,...It's just about that time to ready ourselves for the bearded one's return!  Surprise, it's ME!

Loving this round of The Arcade!! I know every time I'm excited but this one is just so very special! I can't wait for everyone to enjoy the fun and festive finds at the December edition.The event opens up at midnight December 1, 2014.

As The Arcade is just a few short hours from opening, you should definitely plan your shopping with the Shopping Guide.

My music for today's post was all about feeling comfortable and cozy, so I put on one of my favorites...The Beatles Blackbird.

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

/me peeks out from her hideaway...  It's been far to long! Seems every time I find a moment, something pulls me away.  So glad, that my dear friend Miaa Rebane was patient while we organized this shoot.  Really happy to spend some quality time with my bestie!  She's a styling phenom and really we have the most awesome time just hanging out.  It was fun to snap a few piccies while we were enjoying some spoils from the November round of Collabor88. 

Miaa shared a great tip for this post, the shop Little Bones has some great gifties for group members.  We're both wearing styles from the brand and in honor of the find, I'm sharing a little Tegan&Sara tuneage.

Be safe out there my little fashionistas! This month has some great finds, so shop responsibly!

Happy Shopping!

Love, Vi

slow[Motion]

I feel as if everything is going in slow motion as the rest of the world speeds by. It seems like yesterday we just had the first whisper of spring, then suddenly the pretty blooms are disappearing as May is here already.  Maybe there is never enough time.

Speaking of time, the final days of the April round of Collabor88 are here. You have a couple of days left to pick up your favorite finds at some bargain prices before the new round begins May 8th.

Oh I picked up a really basic WACOM tablet last month and I've been practicing more with my drawing. It's really easy to use, just taking some time to master.  I picked mine up on Amazon, for just under $100. It's great for adding hair, and making more precise lines of highlight.  I still use my mouse to smooth/liquify.

My musical inspiration for this post comes from a new to me band, PHOX.  The song "Slow Motion" is a little piece of spring-time heaven.

[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!

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!

Happy Arcade Gacha Frenzy Month!

[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!

[Em & Vi] Countdown

The lovely Emlies joins me today to blog the new McQueen Collection from Countdown! We loved the baroque and avant garde flair from this new collection. Of course, we had to do a little mix and match flair!

I love the little teapot bag that Emlies added to her couture look, very couture/casual clash!  With the new antlers and Amberly Petal Edition skin from Glam Affair, I've cornered the market on couture cute! 

See Emlies Version HERE!

Happy Shopping!

Love, Vi & Em

[Drift Mix]

Just like everyone else in SL, I'm LOVING the new Drift City Pants by Kallisto Destiny!! Such a fabulous design, low rise with color-change HUD for the bow. The pants come in an array of colors with tons of mix/match options. 

I've been eying the  Polka Dot sweater for Emery for weeks, and I finally had a reason to go scoop it up!  The tippet from COCO was a great addition for a little flair, and of course the fabu new clutch from Handverk out now at L'accessories!

Happy Shopping!

[Spice Market]

Meet my friend Vikeejeah Xevion, a fierce stylista and super sassy giggle box! After a fun jaunt at the texture competition (more on that next week :P), we popped over to the still fabulous Zaara sim for photos.

The Zaara sim has been open forever, but it's a wonderful place for photos. The alley holds court to a beautiful spice market. We brought our big bags to hold all of our great finds. Too bad the bags wouldn't hold the cow, he was cute!

Until the next adventure, Happy SHOPPING!

Be sure to check out Vikee's awesome blog, Forma Pura!

Love,
Vi
