Be my spring ♥

Up here, in my neck of the woods, winter lasts a long time, so at the end of 4-5 months of miserable weather, the spring arrival is always anticipated with great expectations but usually takes its sweet time to overcome the last breaths of winter. Personally, I wish spring would arrive in January ;). But, the snow is almost gone now, and whats left is big dirty piles of sand and gravel, and what the melted snow has uncovered is honestly not very attractive, at least not yet. Everything still looks dead and withered. However, that will not last long. Soon the grasses will re-green the lawns, flowers will bloom, and the insects will come alive once again. Watching the snow melt away is my favorite time of year.

Luckily while being stuck in doors most of the winter in RL, taking my gorgeous girlfriend for a spring walk in Second Life a matter of choice of sim. So Debbie and I packed some lunch and went to Devil's Point for our little spring shoot.

Serendipity just released the Freddie Dual shirt/HUD. If you know the character Sheldon Cooper, you would know that this shirt is his fashion of choice  - A long sleeved shirt under a regular T-shirt. This shirt is extremely customize-able. You're able to change the short sleeves and the front and back of the T- shirt individually, giving you countless of combinations. I have included a screen shot of the HUD below.

With the shirt, I chose Adrian pants, also from Serendipity, and also very versatile when it comes to color schemes.

Finally a pair of Jericho Desert boots from Cold Ash.

You'll want to check out Debbie's amazing outfit as well.

Run, Baby, Run

Sheryl Crow is one of my all time favorite singers. Amazing, timeless lyrics and music that never gets old to listen to. While editing this image I was listening to one of her old albums (Tuesday Night Music Club) and her song Run, Baby, Run just made me pause and listen, so it became the title of this post. There's a youtube link to her song below.

This week new release from Serendipity is the Tyler leather mesh pants series. They come in 6 different colors, beige, grey, navy, red, white and black - which is featured below, and each them comes of course in 5 mesh sizes ranging from XS to XL.

You can leave your hat on

Across the street from Glint Jewelry is a clothing store - Serendipity, which I have the pleasure of featuring this weeks outfit for.

Starting at the top, the ball cap is HUD controlled with five different colors and two types of metal silver and gold. A really convenient re-sizer is also in the HUD. Great idea!

The sweater and pants is also HUD controlled, 11 colors for the sweater and 10 different colors for the pants and pockets.

 This weeks L$55 item from Glint Jewelry is this very nice Leather Skull bracelet. Looking up close it has really nice leather textures. A great find.

MensStuff Hunt - Glint Jewelry & Accessories

Being notoriously bad at hunts, I did somehow manage to find the MensStuff Hunt treasure at .:Glint:. Jewelry & Accesories the other day.

The gift contains 2 leather bracelets, one wide made of several leather knotted strings with diamond print beads, and one single string of leather with metal rings and metal beads. The single strand bracelet is easily scale-able via a HUD - just click on the bracelet, whereas the wider bracelet can be scaled via the edit menu. Both of them are a great additions to the casual guy.

• Glint Jewelry and Accessories - Leather bracelet with metal rings

Jeans:

• Redgrave - Jeans HeavyUsed - Classic Cut Mesh

Being casual

Ahh...the casual look. A pair of jeans, a t-shirt, some shoes or boots and perhaps a jacket. It's a look that a lot of guys in Second Life use. Im my opinion the casual look just got even better. I was at TMD - The Mens Department awhile back, where Cold Ash had a small display of one or perhaps two of their outfits. A quick visit to their main store, and I was sold on the out fit below. All 3 items are of course mesh and were purchased separately.





The jacket is the Ryder. It can be used with or without the T-shirt, and in the including HUD you will find 6 great leather textures in different colors for the jacket, and 6 muted colors for the T-shirt making it easy to find a good look.

(Click any picture for a larger view.)


The jeans are called Ocelot, a nice straight fit, very worn looking pair (but not ripped),. The HUD gives the choice of 6 tones from light blue to black
Last but not least to complete the look, I chose the Jericho desert boots. It's a short boot, and goes perfect with the jeans and other long pants. Again there is an option for picking a color to go with the rest of the outfit, this time 5 different tones ranging from Copper (light brownish) to Black.

Outfit:

• Cold Ash - Ryder jacket
• Cold Ash - Ocelot jeans
