101. Do I Even Remember What To Do?

Let's just talk about being rusty for moment here!

I thought I'd share a look for the day.  I got some pretty good finds that are well worth sharing.  Stuff from gacha, freebies and some old goodies that I still keep wearing.

So, yep, here are some pretty "straight from SL" shots for ya.  Not all that artistic, I hear ya!  But, hell, at least you know what the stuff will look like for sure once you get it inworld.  Don't you hate it when things have been photoshop'ed to death on a blog and things just don't look as good as you thought they would?

So, what's going on?  Well, let's start with the pants, these suckers rock!  They are the newest group gift from LikeA and announce the release of their newest jeans BK.  The belt comes with a hud with 5 options and the boxers have 6 options.  So, you'd be sure to find something you like.  They fit great and I don't have the issue with the boxers cutting into my shape like on some other jeans that have the exposed boxers.

Moving up, as you might already know, the Arcade Gacha Event is back in full swing and things have died down enough that you can actually get your foot in the door.  I have zero luck, so my lovely friend Lavi helped me out and got me the rare set of fingerless gloves from Shi and the cool necklace from Sleepy Eddy.

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.

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.

75. The Mens Dept: August.

I was biting my nails all weekend waiting for The Mens Dept. to refresh their offerings.  And, it's here!

As usual, there are tons of great things in store for you this month.  More than I can show you in this post!  But, I did pick up this really cool jacket/shirt combo from Pumpkin that I matched up to some jeans I already had in my inventory.  The shirt is an awesome casual look and is well made and testured, but it only comes in 3 sizes (S, M, L). I even got this great skin from Nivaro, mesh eyes from Poetic Colors and, of course, new hair from Atro Patena.

Have a great week guys and gals...and do some shopping.

55. Nivaro's PANtastic New Skin!

See what I did there?  LOL.  Yep, Nivaro has a new great skin out called PAN.  It comes in a wide range of skin shades as usual and I went with the Pan theme on this shoot.  The body definition on this skin is a step up from previous skins and really needs to be seen in person to be appreciated. 

Ok, I'm not really one for making fantasy AVs.  So, please, go easy one me!

I also have to comment on the amazing two tone Northern Dawn Eyes by Mayfly that are exclusively available at Zombie Popcorn Carnival.  I find the contrasting tones colouration of the eyes captivating.  Makes sure you stop and give Mayfly's booth at the carnival a look.  But, hurry!  You only have until June 30th before the carnival closes.

Oh, and Happy Friday!  Hope you all have a great weekend.

49. The Leather Blazer

Hoorenbeek released this great leather blazer recently.  It comes in six colours: black, white, olive, burgundy, tan and brown.  As Hoorenbreek does, the blazer is stylish and elegant with both a closed and open version.  Perfect for dressing it up with some slacks or going a more casual route with jeans.

46. Ain't It Chic?

Here's a quick and easy casual look put together with items from the MOH2 Hunt, Chic2 Event and The Mens Dept.

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.

42. Tall, Dark and Mysterious

I had written this whole long winded explanation of this outfit, but I erased it somehow.  I'm special that way sometimes.  Anyhow, this is the third and final look from my visit to the new collection at The Mens Dept. this week.

 The outfit (sweater and pants) are mesh and are one piece.  I definitely makes worrying about your pants breaking through your shirt a non-issue.  I love the texturing and detail of the outfit itself and the only draw back is that it's not lined.  Therefore, you will notice that you can see clear through if you look into a sleeve or the collar of the shirt.

I went outside of my comfort zone a bit and grabbed some long mesh hair and tossed on a pair of my favourite clunky boots.

Enjoy guys and don't forget to head over to The Mens Dept. to check out all the great stuff in this month's collection

41. Bare Essentials

Hey! Long time no see!

Back again already.  Like I said, I had picked up a few looks from The Mens Dept.'s new round of stuff.  So, here we go with my second look.  And, this one is rather minimal.

These fresh undies are from Lazybum and come with a prim bulge and drawstrings.  There isn't much to say except get some.

40. The Mens Dept.: Collection 2

Hey Guys and Gals!

In case you haven't heard.  The Mens Dept. has released their second round of goods and, I have to say, it's even better than before.  I couldn't decide on just one outfit to show off for y'all.  So, expect a few updates.

Here's the first look.  I see it as more of a night look and it plays off that relaxed cool comfort vibe.

The leopard cardigan from Pivaaca comes in three colours and includes a version for women in it.  It adds some fun.

The scarf from Tee*fy comes in several colours and includes a solid or two-tone version of each.  The set even includes a rigged mesh version.  Which is ... awesome!

And how can you look chill without your loafers?  Balaclava takes care of that with their Pause Loafers in a rich brown tone.

Not to be outdone, MADesigns Hair offers up Sam to complete the look!

38. Don't Break A Sweat.

You'll want to get your ass down to JP's to check out their hot new release.  These sweat pants come in every colour you can think of for both the boys and the girls.  And true to their style, they have included the option to change the ties and stripes on the pants to your choice of 10 colours.  You also have the option of leaving the ties loose or tied up. 

I guess I was feeling conservative: I went with black!  Then teamed it up with my purple mesh tee shirt from Kapone that I've had for awhile and just hadn't paired it up with anything.  Toss in the purple kicks from Kapone and it's tight!

Hope everyone is off to a great week.

37. Mr.Poet's New Release

Mr.Poet has released a new jacket set that is amazing (as usual).  I know it's been featured in a few places already (check out the posts by Howard Rushwald and Divos Titanium), but I wanted to do my spin on it.  Although the jacket is part of a set, I'm just using the jacket in this instance along with some stuff I've dug up in my inventory.

The jacket itself is chalk full of superb detail.  You will be able to choose from several colours offered up in store and each one will give you control of the lining and metal colours via HUD.

I should note that this jacket is not mesh.  The only negative because of this is that the shoulder pad on the right shoulder doesn't move with your shoulder/arm.  If you have broad shoulders like me, your arm will break through the shoulder pad sculpt.  Not a biggie though.  I'm lovin' this jacket.

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.

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...

34. Going Grey

This week I got an email that claimed grey and white were the new hot colour combo.  Ok, I'm an agreeable kinda guy, so be it.

Have an awesome weekend everyone!  What?  I'm not always chatty! LOL

32. Sunday Wanderings

It's late afternoon on Sunday here and I've been wandering around exploring some sims.  I hope you've all had a great weekend and found time for some fun.

These new Mungo jeans from Not So Bad suit the days needs perfectly.  Relaxed and comfy and low enough to show off a bit of underwear (not that I wore any today).

31. Feelin' Blue?

Well, SL is giving me a hard time rezzing stuff.  So, the outfit that I was intending to do next is on a bit of a delay.  So, what better time to show off this great shirt from Chronokit in blue...while I have the SL rezzing blues.

30. Gabriel Leather Jacket

I've had this outfit put together for awhile and thought I'd share it.  I am loving the relaxed fit and feel of this leather jacket (mesh) from Gabriel.  I'm wearing the brown version, but it comes in 5 other colours to suit your preference.  Well worth checking out a demo.

28. GSP vs. NR: Round 2

Ok, I did it again.  Hit The Grunge Soul Project and Narcissus' Room.  Came out of it with some great stuff.  Best part is...everything is under 100L each.

I have to admit that my favourite item is the "Eric" hair from Atro Patena.  How can you turn away an amazing hair for under 100L?
