Model friend CindyS Tatham and I were recently asked to blog the outfit of our choice from the fine people at Lapointe and Bastchild. This designer has everything an SL avatar could dream of as far as clothing, jewelry and accessories. Just about everyone is familiar with this designers gothic designs, but did you know that L& B has a complete line of casual clothes called S’wear? How about a line of Formalwear for weddings, balls, styling contests and other special events? And a whole line of shoes and jewelry awaits you as well as a newbie section with lots of freebies. And there are complete lines for both males and females, even Nekos! All the shops are contained neatly in a mall setup as shown below.

Well, CindyS and I decided to pick something from L&B’s S’wear line, which is another name L&B uses for their urbanwear designs. As you can see below, CindyS starts with an open Cropped Leather Jacket in a nice Leopard print with prim lapel and waistband. This jacket has some fine detail work in the zipper, the L&B Logo buttons and the waist belt complete with a silver buckle on the right side and silver grommets in the button holes on the left. The prim sleeves are half length, giving it a neat contemporary look and the open design is as sexy as all get out!

Burly is sporting the L & B S’Wear “USA” black leather jacket, also with prim lapels and waistband. Ditto everything on his jacket except his sleeves are full length and rather than an animal print, Burly has chosen the USA theme which is adorned with all sorts of American stencils in it such as currency, the flag, pin-up models and of course the American Bald Eagle. Sharpness plus!

Below is a view of the backs of the outfits, showing the detail of the buckles and labels on the waistbands of both jackets and the stenciled details on Burly’s jacket. (hubba hubba!)

In the full length image below, you will see CindyS’s “Candy Buckled” miniskirt in a plain black and leopard print. Do not forget the undies on this outfit ladies, this one is short and hot! The style is pleated black wool around the bottom and this mini is double belted with 2 bands of leopard print below each belt. A large round silver buckle adorns each belt. Further detail shows loops, buttonhole grommets and the L& B logo on the belts at various positions. The pleats in the skirt bottom really add a nice touch to this look, as do the half length lace stockings which begin at mid thigh and move down to the ankles….very sexy! 

Burly’s pants are a nice black leather, with very impressive textures, taken from the “Renegade” collection of another S’Wear outfit I have from L&B. I swear one can smell and hear the leather in this pair of pants as you walk! I am also wearing a prim “Renegade” men’s pleated belt from the same outfit with a large square buckle and ditto the buttonholes, loops and logos as mentioned above on CindyS’s belts.

Cindy wears a pair of L&B “Kitten” ankle boots in Leopard Skin. Her boots show the buckle option but there is also a “bow” option in the folder as well. Burly wears L&B Evocative “Cuban Black” ankle boots which have a zipper on the inside and a cowboy heel and toe.

And what would an outfit be without jewelry to style it up? CindyS wears L&B Gothic Morbid Broken necklace and earings. Burly wears L&B Bad Cat Black Iron necklace,  L&B Solitaire Platinum Unisex Earrings  and L&B “Bold” Platinum Bracelet.

All in all, I would say this outfit combo is a great mix and match for any couple to wear. Go on down to L&B and see all of the possibilities, not only in the casual lines, but in the formal and gothic lines as well! You will be really glad that you did! An endless array of designs await you and your partner…..tell them Burly sent you!
