The Avakin Life Edits & More Maze Runner challenge started this Wednesday and will continue to run till the 15th February. Just look up MAZE RUNNER in your apartment search to join in the fun.
For those not already aware, the Maze Runnner challenge will see Avakins attempting to navigate their way to set destinations whilst avoiding being caught by the Petkin Maze_Guard roaming the maze and regulated by our referees.
There have already been lots of winners and photos from the event and some of the prizes up for grabs are featured below.
And if one Avakin Life Edits & More competition wasn't enough, from the 10th February they will be hosting an photo edit contest to celebrate Valentines Day.

The contest doesn't end until 2nd March and it really is worth entering, because the winner will receive any outfit under 1999 coins, two apartments under 1999, any furniture under 1999 and three animations under 699. Don't miss out!!!
This week's releases seemed to be all about velvet and we first received the impressive Velvet Nights collection from Front Row. Both genders received many 90's trend pieces and outfits in a very wide range of different colours and styles to suit literally everybody's tastes.
Next we received the amazingly gorgeous Purple Rain collection from LKWD Couture. A range of gowns for the girls and suits for the guys in every shade of purple possible. Each of the outfits also varied with intricate velvet, lace and faux fur. A truely stunning collection.
As Valentines Day has come around again and is nearly upon on us, this week also saw the re-release of the Valentines-themed outfits from Cosmos. The girls received two Cupid outfits in white and pink and a lovehearts gown, whilst the guys received a varied collection of a lovehearts suit, a Cupid outfit and risky shorts and braces. You can also purchase the Cupid bow and arrow from the store to go with the outfits and expect to see the return of the Cupid poses very soon to complete the that loved up look.
This week's Ikon release was yet again popularly received with its mix of cool black and vibrant red. The girls got the Prosperity dress, a breathtaking gown featuring a velvet bodice and silk circle skirt. For the boys it was the Luck outfit, a vivid red biker jacket with white sneakers and black trousers.
LKWD Ria's Advice
To add some glitz and glamour to your wardrobe, Ria advises us to combine the below outfits and items...
Clothing
- Fairy Dust dress(pictured below)
- Velvet Lavender heels
Emena Avakin's 'Look of the Day'
Outfit of the Day: Pastel Waitress
I think most of us can agree that pastel colours are gorgeous. You can't go wrong with shades like purple/violet/lilac to symbolise beauty and femininity 💜
Match it with a cute hairstyle and this waitress uniform for a unique look. I especially love the bow on this uniform 🎀
Please note: The Bombshell Heels are a Mystery Box item but any cute white heels should match well.
Outfit of the day: Independent Business Lady
She's probably out to sue you. What have you done now? 😓
I recommend adding a mobile phone to this outfit and you'll probably end up looking like someone important. Although from my personal experience it still hasn't helped, good luck to you!
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 yet again come up with another four brand new 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.
This week we feature Lockwood's run down on the new Marbella Beach House apartment shared on the page, we find how our work can be included on the Avakin Life - Apartment Design Facebook/Instagram pages, Brandy shows us some of her useful ideas, hints and tips for the brand new Marbella Beach House, and we take a look at how some of our community members decorate their apartments.
