Shopping for SL Male Fashion? Look Inside Taylor Belmont's Dirty Mind

The Dirty Mind blog is by Taker Belmont. I got a kick out of post #41 with the banana swing. The banana outfit is such a clever choice. It has a sort of mod meets camp feeling. The gold pillars are too much which makes them perfectly campy.

Today's SL Flickr Pick: Sharp Male Fashion Imagery from Alfred Wessex

Cajsa Lilliehook covers the best in virtual world screenshot art and digital painting

I love “To the Moon” from Alfred Wessex. I love how he shows the avatars’ love for each other in such a simple way, how she leans into him, how he rests his arm on her leg. It shows a couple attuned to each other in an ordinary moment enjoying the night sky. I also like the subtle light that illuminates some of the grass but fades quickly outside their magic circle.

SL Fashion Friday: Two Stylish Looks from Two Shopping Events

Chic at Phil’s Place has been keeping us informed of the best in fashion since 2008. As one of the old guard, she has kept going while many others have taken long sabbaticals (ahem, me!) or quit altogether. I love how she focuses on one item in Unseelie, the fabulous foot jewelry from Lassitude & Ennui. 

Lassitude & Ennui’s Unseelie foot jewels are at the Chronicles and Legends event -- click here to teleport.

Bloom’s blog is the perfectly named Bloom-ing. In post 123, I love the jacket and the way it lies over her shoulders. It’s a different option and perfect for casual around-the-house wear, as are the socks.

Friday Fashion Blog: Want Shopping Ideas? Look Inside Kirca's Disaster Case

Cajsa Lilliehook covers the best in virtual world screenshot art and digital painting

Disaster Case is Kirca Rowley’s fashion blog. I am drawn to her posts because she actually wears clothes, something that is always a plus with me. I can see myself wearing this. The sweater is long enough to tuck into the skirt. I’ve never understood cropped sweaters. We wear a sweater to be warmer, so we need the fabric! She also wears her hair short a lot and I have a preference for short hair, too.

Katien Erin’s “The Glorious Diva” goes full Seventies in her post “70’s Vibes.” I love the glasses, the bold natural, the fabulous yellow top. It’s all brilliant.

SL Fashion Friday: Jacques Valentine’s Blog is a Stylish Treat

Cajsa Lilliehook covers the best in virtual world screenshot art and digital painting

I just discovered Jacques Valentine’s self-named blog and really love the fresh and avant-garde style that he creates. His pictures are great, too. Jacques approaches androgynous fashion in the best possible way, insisting that people can  wear anything and still be a “boys to the bone.” Lookbook #473. For example, the dress and the collar are not even by the same creator, but doesn’t look like it was made that way. 

• Dress: Spectacledchic - ophelia dress
• Collar: Insomniac Angel - Lolita detachable collar
• Hat: BOYS TO THE BONE - Punkare beret
• Socks: Versov - Comfov socks
• Shoes: Semller - Thumper boots 

The next outfit is great streetwear.
