88. FATEwear 2.0

FATEwear hasn't been open that long, but we are already being treated to a new round of amazing creations.  I have a bunch of things to show you, so this is going to be broken into a couple posts again.

Above is the Dean Jacket in Volcano. And it sure is hot!  The styling is perfect for these coming autumn day. Half zipped with the fabric draped casual and realistically against your chest and the detailing of the straps and snaps.  This jacket is full of interest and comes in a range of colours and you can wear it with or without includes shirts.

The newly released turtleneck sweater Sheldon has a warm and cosy look while staying clean and stylish. It's straight forward restrained design is complimented by the rich detail in texturing of the fabric and shadows.  Perfect to pair with your jeans, slacks or leathers.

86. New: L&B Mesh Leather Pants

For the longest time Lapointe & Bastchild's texture/sculptie leather pants were my go to for well made and detailed leather pants for guys in SL.  But, now Paul Lapointe has outdone himself again with the release of these mesh leather pants for men!

 

I snatched up the fatpack of three designs that included a plain, quilted and ribbed version that can be changed via hud. If you are a fan of their signature gothic decorative artwork on the pants, don't fear, a collection of 8 designed has also been released.

 

The fit of these pants is perfect.  Just like the jeans, these pants are made to accentuate and fit to your masculine form.  No flat asses and bean pole legs here!  These are made for men. 

 

I also had some fun taking these pictures at one of the many free to use photo sets at Photo Square.  You need to check this place out if you like photography in SL or just need a new profile picture.  There are three levels of studios for you to use to create your work of art. All they ask for is a donation if you want to make one.  It sure beats having to buy studios and cubes that you will probably only use once.

76. Old School.

Howdy All!

Well, I made it to the Fashion Voodoo by Depraved Nation.  I picked up a few nice things and am showing off the first of them today.

I can't resist a well done and unique jacket.  This leather Old School jacket from N-Creation is just that.  Tons of details in the texturing and mesh and a great fit.  It comes in 3 colours (I'm wearing brown).  This jacket also comes with 4 built in shirts and this jacket looks awesome with khakis or jeans...whatever you mood may be.

73. Moto Jacket from L&B.

I gotta say I'm a happy boy!  What's better than to log in after a nice enjoyable sunny weekend in the rl only to see that one of your favourite designers had done it again with a new release!

I'm talking about the new "Moto" leather jacket that has just been released by Lapointe & Bastchild.  This great looking jacket has the detail you always expect from them and comes in 9 colours and 3 designs (2 of which are limited editions).  I picked up the fatpack that came with a hud to change the jacket texture and includes everything except the limited editions.

I have to admit that I'm usually more into the open jackets than the closed ones.  But, this jacket is pretty sweet and flawless!  The detailing on the back panel is brilliant.  I can't tell you how many times I've loved the front of something when shopping around only to be disappointed by the lack of attention paid to the back ... definitely not the case here!

64. Mesh Jeans from L&B

Finally, what I have been waiting for for the longest time.  L&B have released mesh jeans for men!

With 9 styles and 2 special editions, there will have to be a look that suited to you.  And, of course, there is the attention to design and detail that shines through with all of the products offered by L&B. 

But, why am I so into these new jeans?  Well, I have always loved L&B, but these jeans actually cut with a more mature and masculine look.  With the rounded butt and implied musculature of the legs, down to the bootcut finish, the silhouette is perfect!  The bootcut is going to allow you the room you need to wear boots and other bulkier footwear too.

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.

39. Skulls...

Happy Saturday!

I hope everyone is enjoying a beautiful sunny day like I am up here in the Great (Not White Anymore) North.  Seeing as today is the fifth of May, it wouldn't be hard to figure out my inspiration.

I got these great skull slip-ons at the Narcissus room earlier in the week and the face paint from Muertos!  The shoes are fun and colourful with their playful skull design.  And with everything at Narcissus' Room being under 100L, you really can't go wrong.

The face paint is a little more on the dramatic side but is done extremely well with lots of detail.  It definitely brings your mind back to the beautiful decorated skulls.

Well, I think that's it for.  For now.  I'm heading back outside to enjoy the sun and warmth.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend and, in case I haven't said it, I really appreciate you coming by and visiting my blog.  Feel free to drop me a line or leave a comment about ... well ... anything.

Cheers!

36. Ready to chill.

Here it is, Friday again already!  I hope everyone made it through the week and is ready to have a great weekend. 

I've got a couple of great finds to share with you today.  The first being this great new skin from Nivaro.  I'm wearing the Vasean skin in the summertone in these pictures, but it comes in 8 shades with 3 body hair options in addition to shaven and stubble options.  The sensual and masculine look of this skin will definitely gain you some admirers.

 

The second great find this week was this shirt, shorts and shoes outfit in mesh that I got from Spearsong.  The look is pure relaxed comfort (which I'm all about) with fresh colours and clean lines.  The outfit includes the shirt in and shorts in 4 sizes and includes and additional white plaid pair of shorts not shown here.  There is a variety of colours sold in sets and separately at the store.  It's well worth checking out.

27. Lotsa Newness

Kal Rau just released this great casual blazer in mesh.  And true to form, it comes in 3 sizes, with 7 different shirt options.  The jacket is stylish and understated, so why not mix it up with shot of colour down below!

Top O' The Mornin'!

Aye, it's the day to wear a wee bit o' green, m'lad!

I tried out a new photo technique.  My roomie suggested it and I think it turned out pretty well.

I've gone all proper and well dressed with my green blazer and cap!  I even found these nice freebie jeans with a clover on them from Fir in the KMADD freebie area.  Hope you remember to wear some green today (and maybe drink a green pint or two) and have a Happy St. Patrick's Day!

FFL: Not So "Mellow Yellow"

Hey Guys!  I'm back with another look that I picked up from the Fashion For Life event to support The American Cancer Society.  Remember, you only have until March 20th to get down there and shop to support this great cause.

Today I'm showcasing the Lemonade Outfit from Gizza!  Depending on how bold you are, you can wear the entire outfit that includes a vibrate yellow jacket and matching shoe.  The outfit is rounded out with a pair of jeans, tee shirt, belt and untied bow tie.  Pretty complete!

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.

Just Relax

Here is a quick look for today.  I went for a more respectable "suburban Dad" kinda vibe, but a friend told me it's "Beverly Hills".  Either way, it's clean and relaxed and dressed up enough to get you through the day at those fancier events.

Disco Daze

My roomie, Lavi, came home with some groovy duds and it inspired a retro photo shoot.  Thankfully, horeenbeek has been busy putting together stylish outfits ready to go off the rack to make my Travolta dreams come true.  I combined their recently released..... with the Black Military Shirt.  After that, there was just one thing left to do; find our groove thang and  boogie-oogie-oogied til we just couldn't boogie no more!

I LOVE These Boots!

Lapointe & Bastchild recently released their "Biker" boots for men.  And I'm in love.  I have a closet full of boots in RL, so it's only fitting that these would be the catnip to my Puddy Tat the kyptonite to my Superman.   They come in regular or tall versions (I opted for tall which comes to the knee) and include both a boot and shoe.  Whether you choose regular or tall, there are five different finishes to choose from: Smooth Black, Smooth Tan, Distressed Black, Distressed Tan and Kevlar Black.

Mens "Biker" Tall Boots Men: Smooth/Black by Lapointe & Bastchild

So, I guess the question is "Why the boot-gasm?".  These boots are painstakingly well constructed and full of detail in both the build and the textures.  One look at them and the awesomeness will have you pulled in and wishing you had these in RL too.
