[more] Hair Fair 2014

Here's another installment of my favorite finds from Hair Fair 2014 (check #1 post - HERE)!  The sims are open to the public and I'm sure you've been wading through a bit of lag to get the hairs you want. It's definitely best to make a shopping plan BEFORE you go.  So join me as I wade through the waters for you.

Boho&Innocent

Since relaxed styles are some of favorites, I picked a few boho looks. The long & flowey style from Lamb is stunning, and it paired well with my headwear from Lode.  Of course, Lelutka always nails their Hair Fair releases and this year was no exception. Elua was a new brand to me this year, and this was another sweet&innocent short style I nabbed.

Unique&Trendy

 There were a ton of unique styles at Hair Fair, but none more unique and fun than the collection from Ohmai. She includes all of these fabulous animated birds with the hairs.  I fell in love immediately. Of course I was nabbing the best freebies and this bright piled bun from Blues was a fab find. Ane is a new hair maker and she was kind enough to send me some of her fab styles. The pigtails were so cute and stylish.

Casual&Relaxed

 Freebies are always hit or miss, and I must say that this year's Hair Fair had some fabulous freebie finds like this hat/hair combo from elua.  My fav styles tend to be more relaxed and casual, so the wavy short style from Clawtooth was one of my top finds.  I also loved the full collection from Ison!

Eccentric&Formal

Avant garde styles are perfect for high fashion looks, and I really was wow'd by the styles at .SHI.  The hair accessory that came with the look was a super bonus. Milana has amazing textures, and this over the top pile of loose curls was just an immediate YES.  I nabbed another fab freebie and this coifed style from Miamai was awesome. I did edit it to make it larger and move it to change the look. The basic style rests just atop your crown.

Of course this was another long post and I hope you will jump below for the details.  Get your HAIR FAIR links HERE!

[confetti]

Combat the mid-week blahs with some casual pattern clashing!  You can add a bit of playful edge to a colorful spring look by mixing stripes and florals. This way you can keep you look relaxed but still on trend.

As always a little tuneage! Today I've been listening to the Artic Monkeys on repeat, especially the super amazing "Do I Wanna Know?"  ENJOY!

[Fall in BLOOM]

Fall is knocking on our doors and I'm so excited about the change in season. It's time to whip out our fur coats and pile on the layers. My inspiration for the post was this fabulous blooming hairpiece from MiWardrobe. I love the mix of rich fall color with the pop of turquoise. It's a perfect accent for any Fall ensemble. Of course, I gathered all my Ma Vie poses and went on a little adventure.

Big apologies for the lateness of this post. I had the photos done over a week ago with intention to post as a reminder to shop before the August round of Collabor88 closed, but I couldn't find time to post before the new round of Collabor88. No need to worry though all items can be found at designer's mainstore.

As always, a little tuneage to share! I'm on a Natalia Kills kick now so enjoy Saturday Night!

Fuel[stop]

The September round of Collabor88 opens in just a few hours and I've got a little sneaky peek for you. Let's just say there is a ton of fall goodness just waiting to be scooped up.  I fell in love with the booties from Fri.day and the scalloped sweater from The Secret Store. So, I threw them on and headed over to the fabulously cool PLAAKA sim for some pictures.

Of course I had to mix it up with a few of my favorite finds from The Arcade. You have to love the sunglasses from Glow Studio and the amazing Candy skin from Glam Affair.  If you haven't nabbed up everything from the gachas, you still have 22 days. Someone should do a countdown of that too!

I can't believe how fast this year is rolling by, seems like it was only yesterday we were celebrating New Year's!  Feels good to be heading into Fall though, you can really feel the crispness in the air. You'll be see me diving into some more Fall looks soon.

Oh some tuneage for you lovelies! I randomly heard this song today, Problem by Natalia Kills (Remix). It's totally awesome. Makes you wanna be a bad girl! Enjoy!

[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!

I love the vintage flowers from Boom with the antlers from Half Deer. The Arcade also marks the pre-release of the Luria skin from Glam Affair. It's a stunner, the lips are just so dewy and perfect.

Also opening soon is FAmeshed and Sissy was lovely to share this upcoming dress for her collection. I love the electric blue and the amazing collar detail. It's a very posh style that any lady will love.

Miamai brings their uber popular Critter Society collection to an accessory line of shoes and bags. I loved the unicorn with the wavy blue hair.  You'll really enjoy the tons of accessories that are coming to The Arcade.

[Konichiwa]b*tches

 Everyday I'm just amazed by what our designers are creating. It's like I think I've found Nirvana one day and believe nothing could be better... then the very next day it's something WOW again! The new releases from Glam Affair are pushing the envelope every week. Inspiration coming from RL runways and trends like the Asian inspired Divinity hairpiece.

I'm also in love with the Fur Bolero that Maxi so graciously shared at the Euphoria Limited Bazaar for a generous $150L!  She's a sweetie and her creative fur pieces are a wardrobe staple for any true fashionista!

Most will notice that my styles are always a mix of old with new. It's fun to make one's styles original and fresh - finding pieces from our inventories is essential to standing out when everyone is rushing to wear the latest releases. The MC Escher inspired pieces created by Onyx Leshelle for the Epoch Legend event were priceless really. I love the limited edition finds and always try to snatch up, because you never know when you'll need to dust something off!

Happy Shopping!!

[Fashion] Fairy

I'm loving the new pose set from Diesel Works! It's whimsical but still fabulous for styling. The set is called Fairy, and I'm sure any winged creature or fashionista alike would adore it! When looking for great blog poses, I'm super picky because well I'm lazy and I don't want to do a bunch of post-processing to correct jagged body parts. I didn't have to edit any of the shoulders, arms or legs for this! Yay for a time saver too!

The lovely Anessa Stine passed me a collection of Poppy skirts, and I've been dying to show them off. So much mesh these days is basic, and I really appreciate designers that are showcasing patterns or unique graphics like these poppies!

Of course I'm still in love with the Zoya Headdress from Glam Affair! I think I'm going to be antler'd forever! Be careful not to annoy me or I might headbutt you and gorge you with my fabulous antlers! Muahahahaaa!

And of course, on my toes the awesome Cathy shoes from REDGRAVE! These are a GREAT investment as they come with 12 colors, but with the HUD you can make interesting color combos. Your feet will really stand out!

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!

My wanderlust in SL continues... today to show off this amazing dress from HUCCI! It's modern, chic and avant garde. A bold statement for any fashionista.

I've had it in my closet so to speak for a long time, just waiting for the perfect inspiration. The Club Zain SIM is modern and unique with just enough edge for an editorial shoot.

Happy Adventuring!

Super quick post to share the new Hanami headpiece from Glam Affair! It's a stunning accessory for any look but I had a lot of fun finding pieces to mix with it. Yay for the Cheerno wingies! A totally random find in my inventory and I do love how it worked randomly with this look!

[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,

[Cobra]style

Quick post today! It's been a super busy week with the holidays. I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving!  More styles coming this week!

I don't always share a video but I do love ROBYN!  "My style is da bomb di-dang diggy diggy!" You can't help but feel inspired to move with her music. It's an oldie but goodie!  Pay respect to the queen of cool!

[Fragile]

Quick post today because I've been trying for days to get this shot.  The set has been something I've been dying to work with, an amazing mesh creation from Nardya Rousselot the Shana Walk-In Closet for The Loft is perfection. Filled with some of my favorite items from my inventory, I was just hoping to catch the perfect photo. To my rescue came the lovely and talented Kallisto Destiny with her super computer and graphics card! The shot came out exactly how I wanted... a bit melancholy but beautiful. Feeling a bit like the girl who has everything, but nothing at all.

I love the new hat from Drift, it's really an editorial piece that more than sets the mood for any high fashion shot. Kallisto Destiny is a doll and whipped this version up for me to match the new coat from Belgravia. For the ultimate ode to fall, I paired the new leggings from Baiastice with the ankle boots from Kunglers and topped off with some must-have accessories. First, the Slink mesh hands because well...they are awesome!  And, lastly, my uber cute mini crossbody bag from Tee*fy. It's an old gacha find but well worth the money I dropped to get this color! 

Happy Shopping!

[Denim] Splash

The cool weather is upon us but that doesn't mean we have to surround ourselves in fall colors! I love a pop of color with denim. You can perk up a basic denim with a splash of reds, oranges, and even turquoise!  With the newish releases from Drift you'll be happy in love with the amazing options. New designer Kallisto Destiny (\o/ mah humps!) has been a MACHINE with all of the great fashionable releases!  I'm sorely behind in blogging and I had to show off my new armwarmers and boatneck denim shirt. 

Pairing the denim top with a great TDR find from mijn.botique, the cosmic jeans! I love the splash of color across the fabric. It went perfectly with my Drift pieces.  I was beginning to feel like a MESH hoarder with my collection of goodies!
