Vegas Style

A few looks today mostly from Menswear Fashion Week, with a little Fantasy Faire thrown in for good measure. MWFW brings together a large number of designers focused on menswear with fashion shows and new releases for the event (ends Apr 27). The theme is Las Vegas this year, which means casual, stylish clothing with a rakish twist - like with SF Design's new Lounge Lizard jacket, which has a texture change hud with six cool motifs (sale price of just 100l for the duration of the event). I also quite like American Bazaar's open shirt/tee combination, available in various colors and with different tee options. It looks great with BeUp!'s new jeans and you'll feel like money wearing it.

Las Vegas is all about fantasy and 22769/Bauwerk's Royal Room skybox from Fantasy Faire would fit right in there. It's Mesh with marble texturing and has a master suite & main living area suitable for high rollers. You can check out 22769's numerous fashion releases for Fantasy Faire through the 28th.

My Windmill

My friend Shali Manx is one of the biggest Scarlet Creative fans on the grid. When she heard that Scarlet Creative was putting a windmill into Collabor88 at a discounted price she couldn't wait to buy it and start decorating with some of her favorite objects. This is the result and I think she did a fabulous job, both with the decorating and the photos, many of which are by her. I especially love how she has integrated the windmill into the rugged setting of her land, standing watch on a hill overlooking  the water down below.

The windmill is mesh (land impact 106 prims), fully mod and fits on a small lot. There are two main living areas at ground level and an upper room in the tower with access via a wooden ladder, which Shali has fitted out here as a bathroom. The build would function well as a guest home or even as an architectural feature in the landscape. A scale model can be seen at Collabor88 (not sure if a full-sized demo is available) where the windmill is on sale at 488l until the end of the month (more pictures can be seen on Scarlet Creative's website).


Bungalow

The Challenge is a monthly event organized by Bauwerk and L&K Prefabs where participating builders have to create an object to fit a randomly generated theme. The second round theme this month is California Bungalow - maybe not the most exotic, but there are some nice items from the participants that should appeal to many (previews can be seen on the website).

The event also challenges bloggers to highlight a different theme every month and it was fun decorating L&K's entry, the Blue Bungalow, in an attempt to reflect the California Bungalow spirit. I'll show more decor items with this build in a later post (as well as the two excellent avis), but note that some of the furniture blogged below is from the Cookie Jar Spring Festival Hunt, which ends in a few days.

The fashion features some great casual items from American Bazaar (including one hunt gift), new release jeans from KlubWerK, more from Mens Dept and BSD Design Studio's cute shoes/bag combination from Kawaii Fair

Angel Forgotten

I rarely have time to explore SL's great Sim designs, but Forgotten City, with its monumental structures, strange machines and misty cobblestone streets, set amidst the ruins of an earlier metropolis, is one that will fire your imagination. You wouldn't be surprised in a place like this if angels surveyed the streets, forgotten in time and place like the city they inhabit. Bring your camera when you go...    

The wings & first three poses shown are a new release from HISPose, one of the best makers specialized in props/poses for men (or angels). The wings are color change and there are actually 6 poses in the set at the very reasonable price of just 100l. The avi is a new Ginger version of (Red)Sand's Huntsmen skin, that I previously blogged here. There are some gifts shown as well (grab them while you have the chance) and some items from the latest Mens Dept round (ends April 30), as well as cool new boots from Energie that will be released for MensWear Fashion Week on April 19.
