[FA]meshed

First, let me be the 1 millionth person to rave about the new Amberly skin from Glam Affair. Every release she really brings something unique and special to the skinlines. I love all the freckle options with this skin along with those juicy lips!! Congrats Aida on a fabulous release!!

Along with shopping for skins, it seems that today marks the first day of the super shopper amazeball'elluhah season!  Yeah you can quote that! December 1 marks the opening of The ARCADE, FAmeshed, Peace on Earth Hunt and I'm sure a ton more that I am forgetting!

The latest edition of FAmeshed opened today December 1st and it's full of some beautiful pieces! I played a bit with color as I'm feeling a bit locked up with the cold weather. The turquoise corset top is a luxe dip into a warm sea paired with the rich cognac of the leather skirt.




Happy Shopping!
Love, Vi

[BEE]style

Bees Through the Seasons comes around only FOUR times per year and the latest cycle is filled with adorable finds! I love the Pididdle BeeHive Special Edition Bowtastic Hairbow!  It's a fabulous creation from the lovely Brutus Martinek! Don't forget to pick up the must have offering from Glam Affair! The stunning Roza Honey Bee skins had a lovely range to choose from but by far my fav was 01, with the dramatic yellow shadow and goth black lip

I love to mix new things with finds from my inventory and a few special items. The new mesh knee platform stretch boots from Baiastice are a sexy addition! Paired with the stylish Ricielli Mesh Coat and Glow Studio Chess Earrings from past TDR, I really enjoyed putting a whimsical and vampy BEEstyle together!

[Biker]chic

COCO has just released the most amazing mesh biker jacket I've ever seen. It's chic and stylish to the max! There is a new collection of turtlenecks and skinny pants to match, but I wanted to personalize it a bit more and play with proportions.

The 10L Y-tank turtleneck from VG on marketplace is a bargain for any fashionista, it is on clothing layers and mixes well with mesh and non-mesh styles. I had this in another color from LONG ago, but happily it's on marketplace now for a STEAL! (Fatpack here for 40L)

I love Celoe, and I could buy their entire store and die happy. It's superbly crafted and so very stylish! Paired with the slim cut of the biker jacket, the wide leg trousers add an interesting look of proportion. I love the pockets on these trousers, they are open just enough to let you know that these must be the most comfy pants in the world!

My skin is from the Glam Affair Lilith line from Aida Ewing, the Artic tone is aptly named for us pale girls. The makeup combos she creates are spectacular! I love the bright pop of blue on the lid and that perfect rose fuschia lip. It's the thing that sets her skinline from the rest, her ability to come up with creative combinations and keep each release fresh! Keep them coming Aida!

[Play Date]

Everyone needs a day to explore and every weekend I try to find a new place to enjoy. Sometimes I just enjoy my time with friends or go and wander around by myself. It's always fun to dress up when you have a place in mind!



I was chatting with Kallisto Destiny the other day and was going gaga over this wonderful picture on her stream. The black and white was so fabulous and it had a ton of whimsy and style. She told me the sim was CICA and I just had to find this amazing sim. So, I dressed up for my very own play date.



It's a really amazing sim and doesn't disappoint. It's childlike yet haunting, and on the surface one could say simple but I love that's she's made a world of the stick figures we all know and love. Congratulations to the talented Cica Ghost on this creative sim!



LeeZu Baxter recently released a super cute short dress with a wonderful pattern and great mesh design. I added the fun Nadja skirt to make the look a bit more unique. Paired with the NX-Nardcotix Letti pumps, you'll amp up the style.



The new earrings from LaGyo are a total hit! A great bargain at 70L availabe now at The Dressing Room. They are scripted with several color and metal options. Love them! Don't forget to make your way over to The Arcade Gacha event before it closes. The Shakeup! rings are a great deal and all of them would be a great addition to any jewelry box.




Love, Vi

Just a relaxed outfit for a casual Sunday. It's been a long week and I hope you all were able to take time for some rest and relaxation over the weekend.

All the best, Matt.

The Bettencourts

Mattie and I have been busy for weeks with our new home at The Grove. Finding the perfect house, decorating, working with the landscapers, and having really the best time. We have completely neglected the blog and our favorite past time of shopping!

We're in love with MESH at the moment. I've been fighting to stay on Phoenix but with all the wonderful creations in Mesh, I have been slowly moving to Firestorm. Today marks my first full day in the viewer. I usually log in, take a picture and leave. But, today was the first time I felt really comfy without urge to reach out for my paci..errr Phoenix. I do miss the interface, but there are some amazing tutorials out there to make it user-friendly to us "die-hard" Phoenix lovers. Do check them out, Mattie showed me and it was a huge help to making the transition easier.

Sorry for the tangent it's been a while and I wanted to share, but back to FASHION! With all the new MESH items, clothing, shoes, and even cars...we couldn't resist a post incorporating our current faves.

*Our Fav*
The new mesh knit coat from Mr. Poet is like cozy perfection while still remaining chic. Both Matt and I are wearing it - a dream fit on us both! It's nice not to have to edit prims.

*Vi's Fav*
Nardya Rousselot released her first mesh creation, the Zoe Platform as an OGlam Shopping exclusive. I love the classic oxford style with the chunky platform. Everyday I keep looking for that upload to RL button.

*Matt's Fav*
The Mesh BMW! I should make him write this part because he's been GAGA over it for a week now but I have to say it's brilliant. The top rolls down, the hood raises, and the textures are highly detailed. Mesh is a wonderful platform for automobiles.

We hope you find your own fun with MESH! I know soon we will be seeing more furniture, houses, decorations, and more! As Mattie, says..."It's the future." So jump on board the Mesh train!

-------------------------------
Crisis in the Horn of Africa:
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.
