[lost]

This last week has been a blur... and I had to find an escape.  Thank goodness for getting lost in blogging.  I'm doing a quick post to highlight some of the things still available at Collabor88 before the December edition begins on the 8th.

Feeling a bit lost, I really tried to lose myself in some music and blogging. My tune for this post was Clams Casino, "I'm God."

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

Happy Shopping!

/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!

[moment]

In a few hours, the June '14 Collabor88 says goodbye to prepare for next month's cycle.  So I had time to post one last highlight from this round.  The Lighthouse was a wonderful theme, full of nautical inspirations but I really enjoyed the simplicity of the Fisherman's Shack from Pilot.

Of course, I had a little music running in my mind as I write this post.  Lifehouse's Hanging by a Moment really spoke to me.

The Dread Pirate Vixie is on deck and she's on her final pillage of The Arcade and Collabor88!  You only have a few short hours left at The Arcade to nab your prizes and about a week left of Collabor88. All aboard!!

I've got my Arcade booty below decks and I'm rocking a little pirate mixie from Collabor88!  Rocking some killer music as we set sail on the high seas.  Enjoy the Bodybangers Black Pearl Remix.

[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!

[china]doll

Of course you have fallen in love with the June '14 round of The ARCADE! Just like me you are probably dying over the amazing creativity of the designers. A new to me designer, Pixicat, really wowed with her Asian collection. Love the little kimono romper and stunning fan. Her work is completely fabulous!  Don't forget you have a few days left of the May '14 Milkshakes and Turntables 50s inspired edition of Collabor88.

It took me forever to post this look because I couldn't seem to find the perfect Asian sim. Many of my go-to sims like Genesys, Japan Kanshai and Virtual Asia were gone. I randomly found China sim and really loved their artistic almost painted environment. Definitely check it out. The links are after the jump.

As always I'm sharing some music, enjoy some LDR "Without You"...

Hello, hello
Ca-can you hear me?
I can be your china doll if you wanna see me fall
Boy you're so dope, your love is deadly
Tell me life is beautiful, they all think I have it all
I've nothing without you
All my dreams and all the lights mean
Nothing without you - Lana Del Ray "Without You"

[summer]

Warm days are here and it's all about getting outside.  Traveling to the Farmer's Market is one of my favorite things to do in Summer.  You can hop on your bike and pick up some locally grown veggies and homemade jams.The ARCADE is filled with fabulous sets that are perfect for putting together your own little market.

The ARCADE opens June 1, 2014!  Be sure to LIKE The Arcade's Facebook Page for updates and join the group inworld. For the full Shopping Guide - Click HERE!

The ARCADE is one of my favorite events in Second Life, along with probably everyone else. I really think people will flip out for this round. It seems everyone keeps just getting BETTER!!

There is a little over a week left on the May '14 Collabor88.  The vintage Milkshakes and Turntables theme was fabulous and I hope you've nabbed all the great bargains!

As always I'm sharing some music, a little taste of SUMMER from Calvin Harris.

red [HOT]

With all the nostalgic goodness at this month's Collabor88, I couldn't wait to dive into a style I've always wanted to do... the classic Pin Up!  I usually try to rock a bit of whimsy in my look so the fun little cherries help me keep my cute quotient  while I rock out in the manly garage. Don't ask me anything about cars though, my job is  strictly to be the decoration!

I had to dive into a bit of rockabilly music to find some more inspiration for the post. Enjoy this classic tune, Red Hot.

electric[Daisy]

The summer music festivals are just around the corner. Hopefully you were able to catch some of the amazing tunes from Coachella a few weeks ago. Or the thumping beats from Ultra Miami last month.  Electric Daisy Carnival will be coming soon to Las Vegas in June along with a slew of other great events this season.  Whatever the music scene, it doesn't matter. In the end, it's all about living in the moment and feeling the music.  Being free.

I found some inspiration in the bright color of LeeZu's latest release and thought I'd showcase my inner EDM diva.  Along with some great pieces from past Arcade items, another great SL event right around the corner. Of course, don't forget the clock is ticking down on the April edition of Collabor88.

NERVO is one of my fav EDM artists, so enjoy this amazing track..."Like Home"

[vitrine]

HOPPY Easter!  I'm over-the-moon tickled today because the Maitreya Spring '14 collection has arrived. And the topping on this already delicious Sunday (sundae pun - oh yes I did!), would be the fact I won the Maitreya Window Dresser Contest. *squeals* My window dressing is currently on display at the mainstore. I hope you love it as much as we do!

Onyx Leshelle, the owner of Maitreya launched a contest in July 2013 searching for people to dress the large window display at the mainstore.  This contest was so much fun, I always have been a vitrine lover and this was a great opportunity to put my creative skills to the test. Although,  please don't ask Onyx about my stick-man drawings. I'm sure you'll only induce giggle fits.

The best part though is the fact you can still enter!   So put on your thinking caps and get on it people! The winner receives 25,000L in store credit and the opportunity for their signed work to be in the window display. Yes I'm still squealing in delight!

On a side note, I really would like to thank Onyx and Beau for the opportunity. I had an amazing time working with you both. It felt truly collaborative and especially enlightening. Much love to you both!

Of course the contest is just amazing, but that's not the only reason you should stop by... there is a fabulously new VIP group gift and TONS of new releases. The shoes above are wonderful, not only because of the new Maitreya Skin Match HUD but also the option of using your SLink feet.  So grab the new releases while they are hot on the shelves. Be prepared though, as your arms will be dragging the ground with all the loot you'll be carrying home. 

The lovely Onyx Leshelle offers a little insight into her musical inspirations, her favorite band is Hiatus Kaiyote, and the song Mobius Streak really inspired this vitrine. Hope you enjoy it too!  Listen [HERE] to Mobius Streak.

[stay]

A few hours remain of the March Collabor88, so run pick up these great deals while they're still available. I adored the theme of this edition, filled with perfectly quirky business finds. The color palette was awesome. I fell in love with the mint green color and I've found myself adding hints in all my outfits.  

The other week I heard the most amazing voice on SNL, his name is Sam Smith and this song is AMAZING!  Hope you enjoy it too!  Listen [HERE]

[quirky]

Some days you gotta let your inner nerd shine through.  Embracing my total quirky side, I took the challenge of blending some finds from a few of the top events currently running in Second Life®.  See if you can spot the items from Collabor88, The Arcade, TLC, Skin Fair and The Whore Couture Fair.

As always a little music for you to enjoy! I was trying to think of quirky alt-girl rock, and of course I thought of the epitome of geek-chic Lisa Loeb. TUNE!

Sneaking in-world to give you a little preview of the galactic supernova inspired February edition of Collabor88 for February 2014.  The collection is modern and futuristic with a flair for dramatic.  I imagined myself as Leelo the heroine from the 5th Element after she had been acclimated to her new home after 5 years. Just a quick shot to give a preview before Collabor88's gates open February 8th.

As always, I'll share a little Katy Perry music for you to enjoy, it's been on repeat while I worked on this post.

The Arcade [Photobooth]

As the summer's ending and we pack away our sundresses, it's time for one last adventure on the boardwalk.  The Arcade opens Sunday, September 1st and soon practically all of Second Life® will be knocking each over to join in the gacha fun!

Just when you think there is no topping the last edition, the fabulous team at The Arcade tops themselves!  This month's event will bring some fabulous finds that will delight and amaze. I fell in love with the Worry Dolls from VCO. As a child, I had a collection of dolls that I stored in a little pouch. Every night when I went to bed I would tell the little dolls my worry and tuck under my pillow. By morning the worries I had would always be gone.

I had to make a post in honor of my little worry dolls! So happy this time they are out from under the pillow and having fun with me today at The Arcade.

The Arcade opens September 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!

Over the [Love]

Happy Birthday Collabor88!!  In a few short hours, they officially turn TWO. Everyone has joined in to celebrate their anniversary. And by everyone, I mean over SEVENTY designers contributing to this occasion! So, put on your party dress and Charleston on over!!

This month's theme is all about the Gatsby and the Roaring 20s! This decade filled with decadence and abandon leads itself to some pretty inspirational collections like the Loft's contribution, Alder's Living Room. It's art deco in perfection and the precise backdrop for a fabulous little flapper girl care of the Secret Store.

Get your TP's ready to go when the Collabor88 event opens at midnight 8.8.13.  You'll want to be first in line to enjoy this creative round!

My tuneage for this post was totally inspired from the Gatsby soundtrack! Enjoy a little Florence + The Machine's "Over the Love".

[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!
