Vanitas Vesture has made two starry versions of the Polite Skirt for the event, priced at only $65.  At the Shopping Cart Disco’s Disco Deals Bazaar, you’ll find these and other great deals from Dark Mouse, Miao, Karizmatik Modern, Fear and Clothing, Elefantu, Magoa, Status, Projekt Mayhem, Sn@tch, and Somnia — this weekend only!

Hello Lovelies! There’s a new sales-day-of-the-week, and it’s Moody Monday! All items for the event are priced at L$55, and have a value of at least L$150; they’ll be on sale all day Monday.

We’ve put out a set of two skirts at the Vanitas Vesture mainstore: the new and unreleased Obsessive Skirts in Eggplant and Mocha. (Handy for those of you doing the 52 Weeks of Color challenges.)

This strapless cocktail dress is reminiscent of the ’50s and early ’60s, with its full skirt and simple clean lines.  It’s been updated for this event with a feathered hemline, giving it a bit of a hipster vibe. It’s a variation on an upcoming release which will be available at the Fashion for Life Fair. This version of the dress is available in three colors; L$95 each through March 5th.

**About the Event**
Oh My Stars-O-Rama February Event
February 26th-March 5th
Each month, the vendors of the Oh My Stars! sims have the opportunity to create an item using a shared “theme” texture.  This month we’re working with a feather.  With such a variety of shops on the sims, event items may include poses, home decor, jewelry, clothing, and more.  Wander around the sims and look for this sign:

Of course, I suggest you start at the Vanitas Vesture Mainstore!

Vanitas Vesture has two new offerings for the fair: First, the Kay Minidress, a sexy halter minidress with multi-colored polka dots and thin stripes along the hemline. Available in 10 colors; L$175.

Second, Valentine’s special that’s wearable year-round: a sweeter version of the Kay Minidress, with tiny multi-colored hearts.  Available in 3 colors; L$75 for a limited time.

If you haven’t had a chance to visit the fair, go now!  The fair celebrates original creators and provides an opportunity to learn more about intellectual property rights, and there’s some great stuff to be found.

Items above from Awesome Blossom, Clutter, Croire, Hue are You, and Zoe’s Garden.

This is also your last chance to partake in the L$10 hunt — we’ve got a special color of the <3 Minidress hidden away for you!

Vanitas Vesture at the I <3 Originals Fair

Find the little gray giftbox in our shop there for this sexy sequined backless number, a little black dress with racy red stripes at the hemline.

Second, we’re excited to be a part of the first Oh My Stars-O-Rama event, featuring vendors of the Oh My Stars! sims.

We created a pair of flirty little dresses, using the leafy motif as a bold print on the skirt, and a delicate accent on the strappy plunging neckline.  Check out the mainstore for these two darlings.

The first Oh My Stars-O-Rama begins January 22nd and runs through the 29th.  More info about Oh My Stars-O-Rama!

We’ve also got a bit of something up or sleeve for the beginning of February, so keep your eyes open.

The last addition to the collection is the high-waisted Alchemist Skirt.  It features a high ruched waistband and a knee-length sequined skirt, with pearl trim surrounding the waistband and then trailing down the skirt.

As an add-on, the pearl-trimmed waistband is available separately in all colors, for mixing and matching with the Alchemist Skirt and anything else in your wardrobe.  The Hermetic Waistbands are loaded in a Gacha machine; only L$30 per try.

Teleport to Vanitas Vesture Main Store

At the SCD Disco Deals event, the two skirt set is available for only $90, this weekend only!
There are also great specials from other awesome stores: Clique, Dark Mouse, Ibizarre, Just a Pose, Karismatic Modern, Lolapop!, Miao, Moonshine, and Tuli.

Downstairs in the Riot Room, there’s more great stuff.  Bring your friends to get the best deals!  The set of Vanitas Vesture Hermetic Waistbands, which coordinate with the Alchemist Skirt, can be had for a secret super-low price.

Teleport to SCD’s Disco Deals and The Riot Room

First, we’ve moved: the new Vanitas Vesture mainstore is on the newly rebuilt Bill sim, which was formerly a Starlust sim and is now a part of Oh My Stars!  The new sim is gorgeous, and the new store is much more spacious! The Oh My Stars grand opening event is Saturday, December 18th at 5pm SLT, and we’ll have a little gifty set up.  I’d also advise taking a look around the new store later this evening for a few other little hidden goodies.

Second, we have the lastest in the Wonderland Series: the Enigma Tunic.  This is a cozy sweater tunic, with billowing elbow-length sleeves, a unique open cowl neckline, and organic thin hand-drawn stripes.

Now, we move on to awesome gift-giving opportunities!  I’m pleased to tell you about not one but two events we’re participating in!

This weekend is the Shopping Cart Disco Friends with Benefits Gift Giving Event.  It’s a classic BOGO sale — buy one item, get a second item of equal or lesser value for free, sent to the avatar of your choice.  Click on the sign in the store for the fine print about how to take advantage of this sale, and send friends presents!  The event ends Sunday at midnight, so shop now.

We’re also a part of the ALBERO Holiday Dollar Fair, where all items are transferrable and L$250 or less.  This event continues through January 2, and Vanitas Vesture has set out a selection of items from the Wonderland Series.
