[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!

Love, Vi

/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

Styling Details AFTER The Jump!

[Time After Time]

Today is all about newness and SALES! First, a stunning cocktail dress from Countdown. The shade of green is so very luscious and decadent. Antonia has released a collection of fanciful cocktail attire that will have us all on the best dressed lists as we head into the New Year. Yes, folks.... 2013 is just around the corner!

The first sale you MUST attend is the 50% off HAT sale at Bliss Couture! I didn't even know where to start, everything is just amazing and feels like something I don't want but NEED!  If you are a hat addict like myself, please don't miss out on this fabulous sale. The sale runs from November 9 - 18, 2012. 

The lovely July Raymaker is a pose maker extraordinaire!  I've long been an addict of Manifeste, and if you are an avid pose collector you will need to take advantage of her specially priced Clean Up 2012 package. You can score 200 poses for only $399! It's a unique collection and I hopped around happily snapping up photos using her well-made poses. Not only for photographers, her poses work extremely well on any runway.

I'll end by showing off my more decadent pieces, Slink mesh hands adorned with jewelry from Donna Flora. Of course the perfect clutch from Baiastice, oddly titled... Queen Hobo. I don't think any Queen would let a Hobo near that purse!

Nardcotix MANA is Here!

Nardya Rousselot has been working her little prim fingers to the pixel with the her latest endeavor... Nardcotix MANA! It's an entire shoe line that will blow your mind. Not only are there shoes for every occasion but now there are options to go with it. The MANA line of shoes come with a very user-friendly HUD that allows you to adjust size, skin color, nail polish... and the most exciting is NAIL ART! You can have little hearts and flowers on your toesies!

Nards is such a truly wonderful person, and I'm so thankful to be her friend (and Chubba's). She so kindly named these shoes after me, and I couldn't be more honored. THANK YOU NARDS!! The woman is a gem and has named several more pairs after her friends (*HINT HINT*) - The full names of each MANA shoe inspired by Nardya's friends - Anessa Stine, Breezie Noel, Vixie Rayna, and Dezi Jarvinen.

The stone embellishment yet casual style make these a must have for summer, and you really can wear these with anything because the stones are color change too! *Dies* Don't ask me how long I've played with these shoes... as soon as I was allowed to wear them in public I haven't taken them off. You'll have to pry them from my cold dead pixels!



In honor of this amazing new shoe line... Nardcotix is issuing a Blogger Challenge! Play along today and you can win your choice of a MANA color pack! Check out the Nardcotix Blog for details.

Barerose Appreciation Week!

Winter Jefferson, has thrown down a blogger challenge for the week. A Barerose appreciation extravaganza for all the awesomeness that they have to offer. Since I first came to SL, I've been in love with the store. Its imaginative, fantastical, and fashion forward. Each time you go there are new releases. Its like fashion mecca!

Back in July of this year, I did a shoot with the awesome Elysium Eilde of Second Look Studio for a mermaid fashion editorial in Second Style Magazine. One of my outfits was from Barerose, the Pisces set.

It's one of my favorite outfits and I was tickled to wear it in the magazine.

Enjoy!

The second photo was a sneak attack shot!! Its not in the magazine, but I'm so glad that Ely took a close up. The Blowpop skin by Annyka is just to wonderful not to see...
