/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

[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.

slow[Motion]

I feel as if everything is going in slow motion as the rest of the world speeds by. It seems like yesterday we just had the first whisper of spring, then suddenly the pretty blooms are disappearing as May is here already.  Maybe there is never enough time.

Speaking of time, the final days of the April round of Collabor88 are here. You have a couple of days left to pick up your favorite finds at some bargain prices before the new round begins May 8th.

Oh I picked up a really basic WACOM tablet last month and I've been practicing more with my drawing. It's really easy to use, just taking some time to master.  I picked mine up on Amazon, for just under $100. It's great for adding hair, and making more precise lines of highlight.  I still use my mouse to smooth/liquify.

My musical inspiration for this post comes from a new to me band, PHOX.  The song "Slow Motion" is a little piece of spring-time heaven.

[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.

[bang]

 If you are like me, your spare time is pretty rare.  So we have to take advantage when an opportunity arises. I had a few moments today, I hopped in world to enjoy some new finds and of course a little music. 

I was delighted with all the awesome from finds from this month's Collabor88 and Chapter Four with some excellent pieces from this round of TDR.  This post was definitely a hodge podge of newness with a couple of excellent items from the last Arcade.

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

[Diva]

Next week Halloween creeps in and it's more than enough of an opportunity to bring out your inner witchy diva.  Collabor88's theme for October has been Black Magic, and as the month is coming to a close it's the perfect time to pick up some great pieces before the bargains disappear.

More tuneage today, a little Beyonce for your Diva walk. Enjoy!

[Fall in BLOOM]

Fall is knocking on our doors and I'm so excited about the change in season. It's time to whip out our fur coats and pile on the layers. My inspiration for the post was this fabulous blooming hairpiece from MiWardrobe. I love the mix of rich fall color with the pop of turquoise. It's a perfect accent for any Fall ensemble. Of course, I gathered all my Ma Vie poses and went on a little adventure.

Big apologies for the lateness of this post. I had the photos done over a week ago with intention to post as a reminder to shop before the August round of Collabor88 closed, but I couldn't find time to post before the new round of Collabor88. No need to worry though all items can be found at designer's mainstore.

As always, a little tuneage to share! I'm on a Natalia Kills kick now so enjoy Saturday Night!

[Street]Couture

Lately real life has been taking up a tremendous amount of my days but it makes me enjoy my creative time in-world so much more. There are seriously so many events right now, it's becoming very hard to keep up. Today I wanted to show off a brilliant new gown from CIA Designs for The Black Fair and this amazing one-armed mesh tattoo from a new-to-me brand Tenjin.

Oh and I had to join in on Berry's Meme of the week!  I'm quite ashamed of my inventory. My dear friend Miaa has been encouraging me to organize - at this point I think it's beyond hope. But I do try to clean it out ever so often.

Meme Instructions: Copy and paste the questions and answers below, delete my answers and input your own. Don’t forget to leave a comment with your link so I can come by and read it!

1. What is your current inventory number? – 119,779 (please don't judge :p)
2. If you had to delete your whole inventory and could only keep one thing, what would it be? – Animation Override (it's got tons of animations from a lot of different places and it makes me feel like ME)
3. What is the last thing you purchased? – Paper Couture 2013 Collection  - Jewelry & Hats
4. Which item do you wear most often? – Glam Affair Freckles
5. When you search for the word penis, how many items pop up? (NO LYING!) – 5 (one penis object the remaining are joke photos - click HERE to see.)

Today's tuneage is from Foxes! A great new song that helped inspire the feeling of this post. Music is my muse!
