Men’s Fashion: Ranger Theas

All this time Luna has been searching for her own style that she’s ignored me. I finally went shopping without me being her shadow. I believe most of this outfit is new and created by recently discovered designers for me.

Just a few posts prior Luna showed off the female version of the necklace. This is the inspiration for this post. I picked it up with her several weeks ago but never really found the right outfit. Oh who am I kidding. I needed to shop and the necklace was the excuse. So sue me. meh.

Ten Days in Brooklyn

Express was given a few of the colors from the latest release of Zaara. Even though he doesn’t blog, he’s always welcomed here. Express is being lazy, he asked me to do the photos and write up. Ok so he’s not that lazy as he was working on SLDD while I did the blogging.

We both adore Zaara and her store. Its full of vibrant colors and awesome quality. I know Express was more than happy to have more clothing. Zaara’s is one of the few stores that he will raid when new releases appear for guys.  He’s so picky!

Thank you to Thema Felix for the post title. She was the first to respond to my plurk.

*review* Homespun

Posy Trudeau of Civvies and Miau Haus fame has a new venture – Homespun. Inspired by the Depression era of United States, most of her clothes have a very simple, old-fashioned feel but can easily be mixed in with a modern wardrobe.

Homespun opened its doors to the public today at noon with a party and gifts.

*review* :: DUTCH TOUCH :: MaCe ::

Released just moments ago, MaCe, joins the quickly growing men’s skins line at Dutch Touch.

MaCe has three different face options: Basic, Eye Tattoo, and Goatee. This skin was released in three tone: Cream, Olive, and Cocoa.

Dutch Touch has a nice and easy approach to skin development. Not releasing the full line at once but rather a few tones or faces over time. Now the collection is four different skins all with several options.

Just like the women’s skins, this growing collection is well designed and highly acclaimed. Btw, Iki tells me there are new women skins in beta.

*review* Moonshine

The lovely Miss Shelly Toonie sent me some of her men’s classics and pulled me out of blogging retirement. I was having a so-so time looking for items that weren’t so tired. The hunt for everyday wear seems like such an effort for guys around the grid. Its either tees, we have enough to last a few pixelated lifetimes, to ripped jeans. Another odd discovery, our clothing is so rarely created on all the layers like women’s fashion. At Moonshine, Shelly’s store, the clothing is just the opposite. With the different layer options available, I gladly will mix and match these with her other items and ever those currently in my inventory.

Let me just say, I make this look good. Don’t tell Express. He’s been following me on my shopping excursion all afternoon. Oh yeah, 2010, I’m back and accepting review copies once again. You just can’t keep me behind the scenes for long!
