[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.

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

[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.

[POP]

"Live fast. Die young. Bad girls do it well." M.I.A. might pull off the bad girl better, but I couldn't help throwing a little 'tude in my new outfit from DirtyMind.  Bad girls still rock pink, right?

Super quick post on a Wednesday!  I've had this punk inspired look in my closet for a month, just trying to find a little time to do it some justice. Be your own 'Bad Girl' with a dose of M.I.A.

Stay tuned this month, I'll have some great previews from Shoetopia 2013 starting  next week!

[Modern]Safari

The last days of summer are upon us, and I hope you all have been able to soak up every last second. My weekend was filled with hours outside enjoying perfect moments with family and friends.  We all get so busy with our lives it's nice to take time out to decompress. Join me on a little modern safari adventure.

Leezu Baxter never ceases to amaze me! After four years of working with her, she still blows me away with her creativity. Today's new release is no exception. The  Deklannche top is a corseted mesh top that takes bondage fashion to another level.  It comes in three base colors of black, beige and brown. There is a HUD for easy resize and texture change. The reptile and jewel parts have 9 color options.

Anyone who knows me will say I'm a crazy music nut! Check out my new favorite tune from JayZ+JT!

Modern [Flapper]

With the latest round of Collabor88 in full swing, the feeds are filled with all of the great vintage inspirations from the Razzle Dazzle 20s inspired theme.  I started thinking more of how to make a look more up-to-date and chic but keeping with that vintage feel. My modern flapper was born.

Challenging myself with this modern flapper look, I wanted also to apply this vintage vs modern quest to my inventory. We often get so wrapped up into buying the NEW,  when we have some fabulous creations gathering virtual dust in our massive inventories.  So this look is all about mixing the vintage with the new to create a cohesive style.

The ISON vest is really a masterpiece and on it's way to be an essential in my wardrobe. Paired with the Victoria shorts from LeeZu, you get a silhouette reminiscent of a traditional flapper dress.  The hair is styled in a completely vintage shape, but the fiery red is perfectly modern.  My accents are some of my unique vintage LeeZu finds mixed with modern mesh trims.
 
In keeping with the theme, it reminded me about my obsession with the Gatsby soundtrack. It's filled with AMAZING tuneage.  Today I was feeling the Andre3000/Beyonce cover of the famous Back to Black. It takes this modern song with a retro vibe from the amazing Amy Winehouse to a whole new level. Listen HERE.

[Hair Fair] 2013 Part II

Sassy & Attitude

 More coverage from love&fashion BLOG for Hair Fair 2013! Keeping up with the trends of releases has been so much fun. Lots of new styles that fit any mood, like sassy attitude, fierce alternative and girly poshness.

Urban & Fierce

I really fell in love with a few hairs one being an amazing FREEBIE from Emotions, the color options of ISON, and the collection of edgy shaved styles from Adoness.  With all of the really fabulous releases, it was hard to choose. So, I'm really just hitting the highlights here.  If anyone leaves Hair Fair with a linden to their name, I'll be shocked!

Girlie & Posh

Hair Fair is open to the public - if you want to plan ahead, it's probably a good idea to check out the DEMO group so you can map your attack!  Check out the Hair Fair blog for more details. Tons of proceeds from Hair Fair go directly to the Wigs for Kids charity! Shop PEOPLE!

[Hair]fair 2013

Short&Accessorized

 Hair Fair 2013 has arrived!! Let the excitement begin!  For me, Hair Fair has got to be one of my most favorite events in SL!  I get giddy like Christmas waiting for the sims to open, and can't wait to jump in and see all the newness! Trends for this years event - Accessories, Color, & Whimsy.

Long&Colorful

 I went a little crazy this year nabbing up a ton of styles. Lately, there just hasn't been much hair releases probably because every designer was working hard to put forth these amazing new releases. There really is something for everyone from the avant garde/couture to the everyday with a bit of whimsy.

Mid&Whimsy

This is my first taste, I have some more to share soon. Stay tuned peeps!

Hair Fair is open to the public - if you want to plan ahead, it's probably a good idea to check out the DEMO group so you can map your attack!  Check out the Hair Fair blog for more details.

[Love Somebody]

Collabor88 July edition opens in just a little over an hour! This month's collection is filled with a wonderful offering of bright colors and a theme of Midsummer! I fell in love with a TON of items this round and ventured off to the Lula sim to snap some piccies.

The Heather ruffle set from Tee*fy is a mix&match delight. There are over 16 colors/patterns to choose from and you can put together a monochromatic romper or go for a paired ensemble like what I'm wearing. I love the dreamy, sweet and flirty mind of Azure! Thankies my dear!!

The Ceryn Flora antlers from Schadenfreude are AMAZING!  The mesh antlers are completely customizable with the HUD. It took me a few moments to figure out how to get different flower colors (I'm sure there are directions but I never read :P), but I finally got the hang of it. This is by far the best antler set I've ever seen in SL! [See the DETAILS below for a photo of the HUD]
 

On my toes, are the perfect summer sandals from ISON. They fit with the SLINK Natural Barefeet and come in 8 colors available at Collabor88.

Summer is always filled with great tunes so this blogpost is all about Maroon5's LOVE SOMEBODY! Spread the LOVE!

[Can't Stop]

 Mice are invading Second Life® courtesy of the uber talented Systi and Syane Cisse, designer duo of [sYs]. The new [MousYs] ClubWear collection launched today with a party at GOL.  It was very cool to see everyone partying with their [MousYs] ears!

 The collection is themed with an alien mice motif in tribal, skulls, union jack and DJ patterns. The sisters outdid themselves. You'll find tanks, tees, jeans, shorts, skirts, dresses, shoes, sunglasses, and necklaces! For girls and guys, there is something for everyone!

Thank you also to the lovely Mavi Beck of MaVie for sending over some fabulous poses that are now available for Lazy Sunday at her Mainstore. 

I was very honored to model and also shoot the collection advertisement featuring the [sYs] models! [Yes, I was in a hot model sandwich - jealous?]

It's been a super busy couple of months but I'm finally getting my groove back! Expect to see more posts coming.  And to all that need some fun music, I'm loving this remix of MIley Cyrus' We Can't Stop ---- TUNEAGE

[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.

[simple]

 I'm in love. LOVE. L O V E. Her name is Nea.  It's a beautiful mesh avatar head from Snow Rabbit. It's a fully animated head and honestly a photo doesn't capture her wonderful beauty. She blinks, smiles and just is...simply beautiful. She is brand new and available only at Skin Fair 2013!

Be sure to check out the very sweet Odette dress from World's End Garden. It's an exclusive design for Fashion For Life 2013! You have to pick it up before the event closes on March 16th.

Skin Fair 2013 opens March 15th! You all will fall in love with all the great finds!

This year, The Skin Fair will take place from Friday, March 15, through Sunday, March 31. The fair will showcase new and exclusive skins from over 80 of your favorite designers from around the grid. We have been careful to include skins that would appeal to everyone including male and female skins, child skins, fantasy skins, and even mesh avatars!

The fair covers two sims this year which is good news for everyone because that means more people can shop at once. We will be enforcing a strict script policy at the fair. Please come in as little as possible but as the sims are PG, please make sure that all private parts are covered. Detach all objects that you may be wearing. This will allow for a better shopping experience for all. There will be a lag free outfit dropped in the Skin Addiction group and the Skin Fair 2013 group before the fair begins. If you do not have your own lag free items to wear, feel free to grab the outfit from the notices and wear it.

To keep up to date on the events of the skin fair, you can join the Skin Fair 2013 group. We will be making announcements in that group as well as the Skin Addiction Group. Please copy and paste the following link into your SL browser to join the Skin Fair 2013 group here.

We are looking forward to an amazing skin fair this year and hope to see you there! Doors will open March 15 at 12:01am. The location will be announced at a later time. It is sure to be the event of the year so don’t miss it!

[Intergalactic]

Today I'm feeling like an intergalactic meteor coming at you with fierce feminine fashion! It's all thanks to Luca Boucher of Elysium.  The Geometrica Corset is a fabulous find and I'm thrilled to showcase this piece. 

 The set is just a basic whit background with some great shadows thrown from our sim. It created a great illusion of patter behind me in shadow!

Hart Larsson of [PXL] has a new gacha featuring some stunning Kate skins. I'm wearing the Lust version that is sure make any man or well alien drool. It's the rare find but totally worth the effort!

Exile is killing it lately with their hair, and I love the ombre fades in Kavar's collection of colors. Very sexy and warm!  Yula of Finesmith has some beautiful new releases including these earrings from the Grapa set.

Just like everyone else in SL, I'm LOVING the new Drift City Pants by Kallisto Destiny!! Such a fabulous design, low rise with color-change HUD for the bow. The pants come in an array of colors with tons of mix/match options. 

I've been eying the  Polka Dot sweater for Emery for weeks, and I finally had a reason to go scoop it up!  The tippet from COCO was a great addition for a little flair, and of course the fabu new clutch from Handverk out now at L'accessories!

[MORE] TDR Fusion

Yes another Mayfair photo! I couldn't help it - finally I'm able to rezz and take piccies on the sim. SO, I popped my cherry so to speak. Deal with it :P

I love the new selections from TDR Fusion that opened yesterday. Lots from R.icielli but I loved the fat pack of print-screen tanks. Paired with their skin tight high-waisted jeans, you are bound to want to strut your stuff. Super sexy and chic! 

The accessories available at TDR are always amazing!  I loved the new LaGyo earrings and Glow Studio necklace. I added the clutch from R.icielli that was only 70L last week with a great dress. Don't miss out on the bargains people!

Happy Shopping!

[Come a Little Closer]

 More newness for you ladies! LeeZu Baxter recently released the lovely Kaya Gown. It's a fitted sheath style dress with flexi attachment to add a little movement that mesh sorely lacks. I love the graybrown version, tres chic!

The daring slit up the side left ample room for my fav thigh-high mesh boots from Baiastice. I find myself popping back over and drooling over the other colors. Maybe Santa will grant my wish! (hint-hint :P)

L'accessories December round opened this weekend with the perfect bow from DRIFT. I really love the look and it's so versatile for any style. Sometimes a little black accent adds a pop of chic to any outfit.

Happy Shopping!
Love,
Vi
