The first of this week's new releases for both genders was the Funky Town collection of retro-style items from Dolly Bop.
The girls received a collection featuring mostly sweaters and only one dress, though there was a good selection of skirts, pants and other items to complete a range of outfits. The guys received a collection of outfits featuring braces and a waistcoat with pants included.
Both genders also received new items from popular streetstyle brand Drop Science and the Lockdown collection.
The girls received a range of cropped sweaters, sweater dresses, joggers, skirts and a bodysuit, all in pink and navy colours. The guys received a collection of sweaters, sweatshirts and pants in bold splatter print for that urban grunge style.
For the girls only this week, we also received a truely sexy collection of new lingerie from Secrets.
8 items in a range of colours and styles featured in the collection, all with names that seem to be based on a fairytale theme.
Avistyle Weekly 'Look of the Day'
This week we again feature community member ΣVILICӨЦS XŦЯDXރ and two amazing looks she has created for us to try ourselves.
Outfit of the Day: The Dolly Babe
Similar to the look based on the new range from Dolly Bop provided by Ria above, the Dolly Babe look features slightly different items that can be used with any of the new sweaters featured in this week's Funky Town collection.
Look of the Day: A Day At The Office
We have seen a few looks for the office in the past and this one is just as great. Using items released over the last few weeks, Evil shows us how to achieve a smart but sexy look perfect for the office by combining the below items.
V.O.A Collections
Unlike a lot of Avakin modelling groups/agencies, Vogues Of Avakin regularly bring us their own exciting themed collections, put together from items both old and new. The collections also gives us a lot of hints and tips to achieve that desired look.
This week they have been ultra busy and yet again come up with another FIVE brand new awesomely amazing collections for us to try ourselves.
Avakin Life Apartment Design
A big part of Avakin Life is owning your own apartment and customising it to suit your taste or perhaps for that special occasion/event. With so many apartments now available to buy or win, it's sometimes difficult to keep up with what's new and what items are inclusive to collect.
Luckily for us, Brandy Burry's brilliant Avakin Life Apartment Design Facebook/Instagram pages are a great source of information on all the latest apartment releases and provides some great ideas, hints, tips and examples on how to decorate each apartment to get us started. The page also boasts some beautiful photography.
Whilst the Avakin Life Apartment Design team are currently on a break, this week we feature Lockwood's rundown on the brand new Bloemendaal Windmill apartment and we look at how one of our community members decorated the new apartment.

We Need You!!!

Therefore we want to ensure that literally everything and anything Avakin related anybody wants to see is included and shared with the rest of the community. To do this we need you!!!
So...... if you have a great idea for a feature you would like to see included or you have an event, group or family to promote, we would love to include it. If you want us to help promote your contests and competitions, we want to hear from you. If you want more exposure for your photo edits, videos and posters, we would love to help.
Mostly we value your feedback. We need you to help us make it better for you and let us know what you think.
