Available for 290L at the current round of Très Chic event December 17th - January 10th, http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Nika/128/121/2001).

New Sneakers

So, it's almost a week left for new year resolutions to be implemented into the daily routine. You remember? Healthier food, more sport and similar? So, I've already got two pairs of sneakers for my everyday jogging. I hope jogging in SL will be as effective as the real life one.

Cooling down

That feeling when you take your coat off, untie the bow tie, unbutton the shirt and feel the icy touch of cold air cooling down the bare skin. Or take the shoes off and put the burning feet into the snow. The real life winter doesn't allow this level of intimacy to last long without consequences. The second life imagination is different story.

Featuring

Shutter Field has introduced  a camp bed for the next round of Très Chic event (December17th - January 10th at http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Nika/128/121/2001 ). A peculiar choice for winter I thought. But from another point... that could be a nice dream of a true worshiper of winter. A night spent on a camp bed in the middle of the winter forest. The silence of snow cover landscape, mysterious moon light and freezing coldness around. And to keep yourself worm there are extra warm blankets on a side table.

The bed will be available at Très Chic, but is now displayed on preview at the Shutter Field Store (see the link under Credits). I see the bed in four different texture variations with a land impact of 4. The side table with blankets is presented in two texture variations with a land impact of 1.

Outfit used to match the blue tinted winter landscape consists of MGMen's Sven Outfit consisting of pants, shirt and bow tie. Is available at Signature Event (http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Alpha/134/117/22). And to keep my head from freezing I used a hat from MGMen's Mipo winter outfit consisting of a coat with a scarf, a hat and a pair of pants. It's available at Men Only Monthly event (http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Sunset%20Ambiance%20Island/56/22/22).

My winter outfit

This snow covered Harrington coat with matching scarf and hat must be from the 2014 Winter collection by FATEwear. But sometimes new is just something old, but forgotten. I knew I wanted it from the moment I accidentally bumped on that coat at the marketplace. And since I am wearing this outfit I hear a lot of compliments and questions where did I get it.
