Autumn Posing

I wanted to feature Aeva's Elijah skin from my previous post again, this time with some more seasonal looks as I leave Summer behind. It's tough finding good skin gifts for men, so don't miss this one, particularly as it includes all skin tones. Also, if you like the skin, the official release version (i.e. without beard) is now out in the store.

The clothing includes some more Mens Dept items from the September round ending today or tomorrow (never sure exactly...lol). I particularly like the Nerd Project sweater and the Love Re Me shoes in this round, but there are lots of other interesting items. Also shown below are a nice hunt gift from American Bazaar and a newish release from HuHu. The poses are from new model sets from HISPose and Saal Body.

Hunt Hints & SLURLS mentioned in this post: Falling into Autumn - The Autumn Effect 

It's always Summer somewhere

If you are like me it just seems too early for Fall, for football and pumpkins and bobbing for apples. Thankfully it's always Summer somewhere, especially in SL, and Flow's excellent boardshorts and retro swim suits from this month's Mens Dept provide a nice excuse to ignore the season and enjoy some SL rays. The boardshorts have a texture-change band and like the swim suits are available with liquid-mesh sizing in a range of colors and at an attractive price.

The avis feature skins by (Red)Sand (previously bogged here) and a recent skin gift from Aeva with shapes by Novus and Shape it Up. Hair is from Alli & Ali, where numerous styles are on sale for 50l through the end of the month.

Hints & Slurls for hunts mentioned in this post: Anything Goes Hunt - New in 2013 Hunt

The Lodge

I'm starting a series of posts using a Scarlet Creative build I've wanted to highlight for some time. The Noelle Chalet is a lovely small house featuring an interesting mix of raw wood, exposed beams and glass with a modern twist and available at a great price (50l unfurnished, 199l furnished). Beautifully furnished (I've added only a few pieces, but you really don't need to), the build was designed as a rustic mountain getaway and looks great surrounded by snow, but some of the design elements made me think it could function just as well as a small hunting lodge, perhaps on the plains of Africa.

Note if you are interested in checking out a demo, follow the beacon from the landing point to the teleporter that takes you to Scarlet Creative's discount area. Also the female clothes here are free gifts from the opening of the Zenshi Shopping district. I don't know how much longer they will be available, but if you visit the various stores there you will find many more gifts.
