99. The FROST Event and FATEwear new releases

I thought I'd wish everyone a "Happy Day Before the End of the World!".  Sounds so festive and celebratory...no?  Ok, yeah I might have my doubts, but I also have a basement with a load of bottled water and Christmas cookies.  I'm good either way.

I've been spending some time running around SL lately with the lovely and talented Lavindia Jewell Fox as she dragged me through The Frost Event against my will...to start.  But, then I started shopping and ditched her.  Ok, I didn't ditch her, I knew she was still on the sim someplace.

So, in the end, I've teamed up some of my great finds from the The Frost Event with some of the great new releases from FATEwear.  These great knit gloves, and socks come in either solids or stripes and go perfect with the striped scarves that were just released by FATEwear and are perfect for finishing off that warm and cozy winter look.

98. Together For Sway.

Hey Folks!

I hope you are all doing well at this busy time of the year!  As you may have noticed, I've been taking a break, but had to pop back on to bring something of importance to your attention.

If there was ever a time of the year to show a generosity of spirit, it would have to be now.  And, so, when I became aware of Sway Dench's plight, I knew I had to take the time to make a post.  It's the least I could do to sit down and hopefully do a bit to help out.

Together For Sway is an event that will be running from December 15th to the 31st to raise funds to help out Sway while she focuses on what is truly important...her health and recovery after she has a brain tumor removed in the new year.  All of the money earned at the event will go to help her and you know you want to shop...why not shop and feel great about helping someone who could use a hand?

Damien Fate has created this awesome shirt called Sidney in a range of colours as his contribution to helping out his friend, Sway.  I teamed the forest version of the Sidney shirt up with the volanco version of the Harry scarf and I have to say that I feel warm and ready for the season.

Here's a glimpse at the full range of colours available to you at the Together For Sway event:

Also, my sweet and very talented friend Zinnia has contributed one of her beautiful creations to this cause.  This perfectly feminine phone table would be a stand out accent for any of you retro glam ladies out there...please, go check it out!

Ok, just one landmark today!  Get on over to Together For Sway.

97. My Pet Demon

Lavers was sporting her new red skin and talking about doing a photo shoot.  So, what's a boy to do?  I put together this warrior angel look, grabbed some sexy poses and got into a demon conquering mood in no time!

It seems that we are forever caught up in this struggle between the best and the worst of our human nature as we go through life.  The simple fact of life is that you really can't be one or the other completely.  You have to pick your shade of grey.

So, with that, I say embrace the the good and let yourself indulge in the naughty every now and then!

96. Limited Edition Halloween Designs by FATEwear

 

Sometimes, you just know when it's time to book it!  LOL.  Ok, I had some fun playing with the Hai shirt and tie from FATEwear for Hallowe'en along with "Murderer's Coat" from Zinnia.  The warm and friendly looking guy in the frame?  Oh, that's a secret for later...

FATEwear has reworked some of their great designs in celebration of Halloween.  But, they are Limited Editions, so you better check them out before they're gone.  The five designs are available in a bundle or individually.

RUN!!!...over to FATEwear and check out all the great Hallowe'en Limited Editions and don't forget to take a stab at getting the "Murderer's Coat" from Zinnia's...it's a free group gift! :)  She won't even make you say "Trick or Treat!".

95. The Long Coat

Be it SL or RL, I love the look of a well made long coat.  And when I saw this one when strolling through the Pumpkin store a couple weeks ago, I had to have it.  Granted, it was my best buddy, Lavi, that ended up getting it for me.  Ain't she sweet?

This coat does come in several colours and the long scarf is part of the coat itself.  You can change the colour of the scarf via a hud that's included with the coat to customize your look.  Throw this over jeans for a casual and refined look or wear it with your slacks and dress shoes for more classic look.  No matter where you wear it or how...you'll look great.

94. The Falkoty Peacoat

Happy Hump Day!

Midway through another week and Hallowe'en is just a week away!  Time has really been slipping through my fingers this autumn and I'm not sure why or how...

I do have to admit that I've been feeling a little less than inspired lately when it comes to shopping.  I try to keep my eye open for things that show real creativity, skill and quality.  But, lately, I seem to just keep stumbling on things that don't really catch my eye, similar to other things that are already out there or are very simply a mesh full perm item that's in mass production all over the grid.

Don't get me wrong!  I have nothing against using the templated/full perms mesh, but I expect to some real creativity and thought to be put into the texturing of it.  Even then I don't expect to pay more for the item than the full perm package cost to start with!  But, that's just me.

I want to see creativity from creators.

That being said, I am showing off this outfit I put together around BuFu's Falkoty peacoat.  Yep, you've seen this same mesh in other stores.  But, BuFu added their own spin to this one!  I really love the fur lining details at the collar, cuffs and pockets.  It really does give it that warm comfortable feel.  I've added my fun scarf from Sey that was a group gift.  It comes with a hud to tint it as well as change between pumpkin and spider web textures.

93. Get Ready For Hallowe'en.

FATEwear has just released two great pieces aimed to make your Hallowe'en awesome!  The Desmond Coat that I'm featuring here today and the Rob Suit (perfect for the zombie look...or hangovers).  The Desmond Coat is inspired Assassin's Creed and comes in seven colours.

The jacket comes with a separate hood in two size variations and is well tailored to the standard sizes for mesh.  Although it's targeted for Hallowe'en, this jacket would be great for role playing or just getting noticed on the streets of SL.
