45. You need this jean jacket!

Ok, I went MIA for awhile there.  Sorry about that!  I'm back and trying to catch up on the great stuff that I've missed out on.  The MOH2 hunt is almost over, The Mens Dept. has a new lot of items and Sey released this exceptional jean jacket!

The jacket itself comes in 8 colours and the shirt can be changed to your choice of 16 colours/patterns.  You can wear it over a tank, like I have, or put your perfectly sculpted abs to work and bare them to the world!  Go and try  a demo.  The fit is great and you'll be as blown away by the detail and workmanship as I was.

43. I've Been Lazy.

Yup, I've been lazy.  I've been wearing the same thing for some 5 or 6 days now.  It's driving my wife all crazy and I'm pretty sure I'm getting stinky and crusty.  So, just to commemorate this look (because she'll definitely want to look back on this one), I'm blogging it.

Now, this is a pure mish-mash of things I love.  Some are old and just not even sold anymore. Some are new and you might have to hustle if you want to get them before they vanish.

All in all, I like it and think I look all cool and shiz (she makes me say that word, I swear).  But, it looks like I'm going to have to change soon.

35. Spring Training.

Spring is here and it's time to test out the old equipment and make sure everything is in working order.  With that in mind, Lavi and I headed to the nearest park and worked on our swing before catching a touch of spring fever.

I picked up these great Sports Shorts from Shiver the other day.  They are mesh and come in a range of colour and 4 different sizes to suit your shape.  You'll also want to grab some prim socks now that the weather is calling for shorts.

For the low down on what Lavi is wearing, check out her blog: So Let It Be Written...

26. Vested Interest

Hoorenbeek just released this amazing mesh vest.  The vest comes in 6 colours.  The shirt and tie can be changed via hud with 8 shirt colours and 9 tie colours.  This vest would look great with a pair of nice jeans or with slacks like I am am wearing below.

With the amount of colour options available, this vest will be a versatile and essential part of your wardrobe for those casual or dressy times.

Break Away From The Herd

In nature, a zebra's pattern helps them blend into the herd.  Well, with this very distinctive zebra print leather jacket from Poison, you'll be standing out from the crowd!  This jacket is bold, to say the least, and will get you noticed in no time.

I've also picked up these stunning eyes from Eddesign.  You don't just get an eye texture, you get what amounts to an entire customisable system.  I am wearing eyes from the Cytrus series and they came with 10 different textures that vary in saturation, 2 twinkle effects, sexy effect (slight glow) and a shiny eye effect (slight shine).  These eyes are definitely worth checking out if you want to stand out!

Highs and Lows.

What is there really to say about this look that the blog title doesn't already say?

Sometimes it's just fun to play with volume and proportion.  Fashion is the ultimate tool to express yourself, have fun, and experiment.

Fashion For Life: March 10 to March 20, 2012

Today, March 10th, marks the start of the sixth annual Fashion For Life event and it's HUGE.  It's not often that you get to put your shopping to good use.  But this is one of those times.

 I came back from the event with my arms full.  It's kind of hard not to after making your way through 9 sims of shops and gacha machines.  So, I'll show you my findings over a few entries.  But, today, I have to show you this HOT jacket from Lapointe & Bastchild.  I know, I know.  Their stuff is always amazing.  But, this jacket is only going to be available during the event at their event store their or their mainstore.  You don't want to miss out on getting one: mixing the coolness of black denim with the sexiness of black leather, this jacket hits all the right points.  Have a look...
 

All of the talented designers involved with this amazing event, supporting the American Cancer Society, provide us with lots of ways to shop and make a difference!

I've been looking forward to this event for a couple of reasons.  This is a cause that is very important to me as I lost my Mom to cancer last August and know just how devastating this disease is.  Not only for the patient but for their loved ones as well.  Secondly, tomorrow, March 11th, would have been my Mom's 65th birthday.  So, I dedicate this entry into my blog to her and just hope that it will encourage at least one person to support the event.  Every linden matters...every linden is a step closer to a cure.

Cold Hearted Snake

Who says black has to be boring?  I found this snake print shirt at GizzA and had to pick it up.  All black was the way to go!  I complimented the snake pattern with a striped pant to keep things interesting.  I think the look is a winner.

Crack That Whip! Redux

Well, I promised you a more street wear friendly version of my "Crack That Whip!" outfit and here it is.  I've retained several of the main elements, including the inspiration piece: The Ring Master Jacket!  By keeping the colour palette of the jeans and accessories dark and using a colour pulled from the jacket's lapel, the jacket is highlighted perfectly!

Let's face it, you'd be hard pressed to catch me walking around in the fishnet stockings featured in the first look, but by toning it down and replacing the over-the-top elements with more everyday casual items, the look is very accessible.

Here's a quick, simple and casual look that has a high quality look and cost under 200L.  That's right!

If you haven't been by the Menstuff Lounge recently, you need to pop by soon.  They have tons of great items that will help build up a new wardrobe or add some fun and interesting additions to a well established one.  In addition to the freebies from Menstuff Lounge, I managed to pick up a few other freebies and low cost additions to flesh out this cosy comfortable look.

If you haven't been by Mayfly yet...run, don't walk.  Their mesh eyes come in a wide range of colours and the detail is beyond belief!  The mesh eyes even have resizer menus built in to get just the look/size that you want.  The demo "London Fog" is available for free and is completely usable as a freebie as it has no demo markings.  But, at just 99L, you'll be sure to go back for a few more colours.  And, you gotta join the group, there are lots of specials and the occasional group freebie.
