In just a few short minutes the Fall edition of The Arcade will open it's doors.  There are so many inspirational finds! For this post, I really fell in love with the barn from Stockholm&Lima and this adorable bunny from Half-Deer. Can't wait to see everyone's Arcade piccies. Be sure to share yours in their flickr - HERE.

As The Arcade is moments away from opening, this post also serves as a reminder to snatch up the bargain goodies from the August edition of Collabor88.  The birthday celebration will end September 6th so they can prepare for the next round.

While I was writing the post I found myself listening to Passenger. The song 'Whisper' seemed so fitting today.

[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.

[dark]Horse

"I'm coming at you like a dark horse..."  Are you ready for the January edition of Collabor88?  It's filled to the brim with delicious vintage-y pieces with a sensual edge.  I fell in love with the offering from Maitreya. It's not exactly meant to be worn this way*, but who could resist something so divinely sexy.

The new edition has just been open a few days so be patient my little chicakdees, you'll get in soon enough!

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

[End]tapes

After almost 6 years, I still get wonderful surprises here in SL! I was shooting some piccies for my blog and my bestie Beanie (aka Boe Cortes)  popped in.  Both being style addicts, we of course, had to make a little blog post for fun. 

He's one of my fav male stylists ever! Really miss his column in AVENUE, but glad he is sharing his skills today! Interestingly we sort of unknowingly coordinated today.  Love the mix of warm tones with the pop of bright.

With the details, I'm all about sharing the SALE love! Handverk had a 50% off sale that sadly ended on Monday (d/t real life I couldn't get this post finished). Regardless of sale or not Handverk's prices are more than fair, so stop by to pick up some of Daphne's fab accessories. Don't forget the Maitreya sale when your out shopping - 50-70% off everything on the sim!

[Neon] Studs

 Need a shock of color to your wardrobe?  You'll love the neon studded leather from Ricielli! It's a sexy mix of fitted leather separates with a baring mid-riff. The look gives a 1-2 combo punch to brighten up your style.

I've been playing quite a bit lately with mixing hair styles to make a more unique look.  The base style is from !lamb with an added hairpiece from BOON.  You have to check out the shop for all of the great options, from bangs to braids, there is something to make your hair a bit more YOU.

 Of course, I'm still in love with the Slink Avatar Enhancement mesh hands. I'm using the [PXL] appliers and the Pididdle nail art. With all of the top skin designers creating appliers, you have to pick up the mesh hands! I wear my all the time. #completelyaddicted

 One of my go-to shoes are these sandals from Redgrave. They are a GREAT bargain at $690 for 12 basic colors, but as you can see you can mix and match sections for a near endless color combo experience.

 Quick post to share a few of the latest releases at this cycle of TDR Fusion! I adore the yellow check dress from Milk Motion, a total LV inspiration. I was totally in love with Marc Jacob's collection for Spring and this is my little love song to it!

[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!

[Insectia]

I feel like shouting from the rooftops... "The Arcade is coming, The Arcade is coming!!"  It's one of my most favorite events in SL. It's unique and special as it only comes around four times a year!  Just in time for spring, The Arcade opens March 1, 2013.

The designers this round are beyond phenomenal, there is really something for everyone! One of my favs and most creative designers, Faint Paulse of Ladies Who Lunch created the most inventive collection of mechanical fantastical insects. A photo doesn't really do them justice as most have moving and illuminated parts.  You must check out Thalia Heckroth's wonderful machinima that captures their unique beauty - HERE!

The Arcade opens FRIDAY!! Until then stay tuned! I'll be one of the very honored bloggers sharing exclusive scoops on what is to come.

Happy Arcade Week!

[Suited]

Think a suit is boring and dull? Then you need to check out the chic womenswear suits at Mutresse.  There is a wide color selection and it's a great way to add a little more posh to your wardrobe!

Pairing shirts with mesh jackets is not always an easy task, but I found the most amazing dress from Kunglers that fit perfectly under the jacket. The animalistic print with hints of metallics really amps up the style.

I went shopping at Peqe the other day and found the most amazing clutch in a little gacha machine. For 25L a play you can't beat this chic peacock influenced clutch!

Happy Shopping!

[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!!

[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!
