#82 The Arcade June 2013

I know it's said every round. So often in fact, it runs the risk of losing all meaning. But seriously... this round. IS. AMAZING. With over a hundred participating creators, the June round of Arcade is shaping up to being the biggest and best one yet. Which is fitting, 'cause June's the best month ever (hayyyy). 

For those of you who are salivating at the thought, here's a cheeky teaser for just a sampling of what's available. And for all the rest, you can check out the Arcade Shopping Guide here. I particularly enjoy the guide for the landing points for each of the vendors, given the amount of participants, this is a god send.

 So enjoy this round everybody. And happy trading!

 xoxo
Vittoria

#81 Farewell, The Sea Hole!

I'm so sad this day has come. I've been on Second Life for about four years(ohgod), and one of the first stores I ever stumbled across was The Sea Hole. As a lover of all things aquatic, I was smitten. Not all of Drinkinstein's creations are tailor themed to her brand name, but everything in the store always fit together. It was always cohesive. That's because to me, Drinkinstein is a true master of color. Rarely have I ever seen someone market their items so perfectly, you think you need everything she's selling. With Drink's way of making the piece her own, even if I'm not sure when I'll wear it- I need to buy it because I feel like I'm collecting art. Her style is whimsical, but not too whimsical. You can wear a piece and feel comfortably unique. The Sea Hole is hands down one of the most inspiring fashion stores in Second Life, and I'm so sad to see it go.


With that said, please make your way to The Sea Hole before it closes on May 31st. Everything is on sale for just 50 Linden. Here's a quick taxi: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/8%208/190/53/21
