Man about town

Photographed by ThePixe1

Everyman needs at least one good suit, with this round of TMD you are in luck! Gabriel has this wonderful 3 piece suit on offer in two colours, I went with the more simplistic black personally, but the black/purple was just as nice, and at only 300L$ a steal. The shoes, although not pictured are by L.Warwick and accompany the suit perfectly, I picked them up also in the black despite the huge range of colours on offer. What I loved most about them is the fact they were slink compatible meaning I didn't have to mess around with taking my feet off. I am a pretty lazy dresser like that, anything to save time.

Look no hands

Decorated by Poorlemon, Photographed by ThePixe1

Sometimes even as adults its fun to just let go and see where the journey takes us. My favourite time of the month has rolled around again, and while its no secret that here we try to blog a variety of things The Mens Dept is always one of my favourites, its nice to see an event that caters heavily towards men, and that is something that I feel it needs to be praised for.

As per the norm, I spent a large bulk of my monthly allowance at this event, and I have a lot to show for it. Start of with this simple, smart casual look that combines the work of one of my favourites Blankline and someone new to me ::K::. Topped off with yet another wonderful..VERY reasonably priced hair by Exile which I just had to buy several of the different colour packs, and seriously considered the fat pack.

We are well and truly ready here on out little slice of Secondlife, the last few weeks we have been going from event to event buying up all the things we will need to make this a very comfortable, warm add cosy fall. Now all we have to do it sit back and enjoy a nice hot cup of coffee from out new little coffee stand as we watch the sunset earlier and the leaves drop to the ground.

Her knight in shining armour



Jayme has been so busy lately creating wonderful things for all the events she is in its hard to find time to steal her away for a moment. Luckily I was able to keep her distracted from blender for just long enough to snap this quick picture of the two of us.

Back to The Mens Department


With some free time on our hands, Elliss and I decided we should go re-visit The Mens Department one last time and pick up a few pieces before it closed. While the majority of stores these days don't truly retire items after events, its better to be sure and grab the stuff while its available. Id hate to miss out on something just because I was naive in thinking it would still be obtainable after the event. While it is pretty much common practice to put things out after the event, there are still a few who either don't, or do but take forever to get round to it. Better to be safe than sorry.

Modelled by Elliss
It was handy having Elliss along with me, we both have pretty varying styles and as such gave me the perfect opportunity to show more off as part of this post.

The Jeans Elliss has on in the picture are the Bueno Lexi  Denim Jeans that I mentioned in my last post, but in this case in faded black. I even brought another pair of these my self Faded BluGrn (not pictured). For anyone that wears jeans a lot on Secondlife, these are definitely something you need to consider buying. 

The sweatshirt worn by Elliss is the [2byte] sweatshirts 05 (Love Hate) I haven't tried it n personally, sop I cant say to much about it other than it looks good, fits well, and Elliss seems really pleased with it. Its not really my style so not something I will be rushing out to buy, but if this is a look you like, then based on what I have been told and seen, its got to be at least worth grabbing the demo and trying it out.

To finish his outfit Elliss brought the Eudora 3D El Dorado Hi-Tops


I'm torn by these, I think they look awesome, and I have been so tempted to buy them myself, but every time I go to, I talk myself out of it. They look great in the ad pictures for sure, and just as good in world. I just don't think I would personally use them all that often. I still might buy them, its coming close to the end of the month, and there aren't to many more events I need to hold back money for.


I definitely spent a lot on my second trip to The Mens Department, and picked up a lot of the things I didn't buy the first time round. I wont bother going through all of it, Ill stick to the stuff I picked for my outfit, I am sure the rest will show up in other posts further down the line. 

The Top I am wearing in the picture is the Zaara Imran Kurta in the Salmon colour ( I also brought it in sky but wanted the salmon for this post). It was hard to pick the colours I liked the most, but felt the salmon and sky were the two I would get the most use out of and went with them. I also picked up the Texture change hud for the trim of the tops..A must I feel if you are going to buy any of them. I own a few pieces by Zaara so the  exceptional quality of the work didn't shock me, I knew I would get what I paid for and ultimately was very happy with my choices.

The chinos again were me falling back on an old favourite. *Shai* I brought these blindly without even demoing them, and I knew I wouldn't be disappointed. In this post I am using the *Shai* men's Basic Chinos White, but there were so many colors to chose from I almost wound up buying them all. Considering 5/6 months ago I had never tried anything buy this creator, now I just buy things blindly because I know that the product represented in the ad is what you are going to get, and the sizing of the Shai products is always spot on.

This will be my last post focusing on this round of The Mens Department for this month, but overall this time round I was very happy with a lot of the stuff there. I think its the most I have brought in recent memory at this event, and I'm definitely looking forward to the next one.

The Mens Department August 2014


This week my wife has been busy setting up a show home for her business, and I decided to help. By help of course I mean I just kinda sat there not in the way while she gets on with what she was doing. Getting in her way, I find, is the quickest and easiest way for me to get into trouble. 

With all the decorating going on I managed to find a few moments to sneak away to The Mens Department and pick a few things for myself. I find on a month to month basis its very hit and miss as to whether I find anything there I like or not, and this round was a hit for sure. It was hard for me to just pick out a few pieces to write about, but I feel I picked the pieces I loved the most, and will hopefully make it back before the event is over to pick up the rest.

Firstly we have the Eddy Cardigan by howl. I picked it in the gray color I seem to be favouring that a lot lately, but there were many colors to pick from, and a hud to control the color of the shirt as well for an additional 100L$ definitely worth getting if you are going to buy one or more of these cardigans. Unfortunately it wasn't as easy as just putting it on and being ready to go, I had to tweak my shape a little, and play around with my hands to get it all to fit, but ultimately it was worth the effort and looks great on. 

To go with the cardigan I picked the Bueno Lexi  Denim Jeans in Blue. After Demoing them the hardest thing I found was deciding which pair I wanted, so I went with the pair that I figured Id use the most. Blue jeans I know, we all have plenty of them, and that's why I normally avoid buying any more, but these I managed to put on and with out any extra effort I had boots (Zed Mesh Dessert Boots) and a top (see above) that fit perfectly with ZERO visible clipping. Its hard to find jeans that fit so fluidly with other items, let alone things made by other creators so I was most happy with this purchase, will be buying a few other colors for sure.
