A Very Merry Unbirthday (Lapointe & Bastchild)

As you may remember, shortly after my return to SL my dear friend Orlando buried me in gifts from Lapointe & Bastchild. I spent an entire afternoon trying on clothing and taking photos, with the intent of making several detailed blog posts about the outfits. Unfortunately, after the first post, I got distracted by limited-time event items and group gifts while the Lapointe & Bastchild photos sat neglected and sad on my hard drive. Today, I decided to start off the new year by giving some love to those photos and L&B's fabulous designs.

In order to keep from overwhelming my readers with a flood of information, I won't be providing my usual in-depth descriptions for every single outfit. However, if you want to know the details of anything featured in this post, please feel free to drop me a notecard in-inworld (Ezerbet Nitschke) or contact me up Plurk (EzerbetNitschke). (Please don't IM me, those get capped fairly quickly and I might miss your message.)

Unless stated otherwise, all clothing is from Lapointe & Bastchild.



The photo above shows several variations of L&B's S'Wear Insolent set ($499L). The boots are NOT included, they're L&B's Elise Ankle & Knee Boots - PATENT BL ($699L), a set which comes with both ankle-high and knee-high boots.




The outfits above are made up of both solo pieces and by mixing and matching items from sets with solo pieces. For example, the jeans in the 2nd photo and sweater in the 3rd photo are both from L&B's S'Wear Mischief Hoodie fatpack ($699L) which contains 7 colors of argyle sweater hoodies, jeans with matching argyle swatches on the back pockets, and matching belts.




The 2nd outfit in the photo above is L&B's S'Wear Tempt Black Leather set ($499L) paired with the same L&B Elise Ankle Boots I mentioned earlier in this post.

The shirt I'm wearing in the 1st and 4th photos is L&B's Death Royale Beaded Halter ($399L) which has 8 HUD-driven texture options (all black).

The cropped tee I'm wearing in the 3rd photo above (and a couple other photos in this post) is L&B's S'wear Mesh Cropped T-shirt ($399L) which has 4 HUD-driven design options in 3 colors (cream, black, and pink).




The pants I'm wearing in the 1st and 3rd photos above are L&B's S'Wear Zipp Women's Leather Pants - Color Set ($599L) which have 23 HUD-driven color options for the pants and 2 options for the zippers (silver and bronze).

The boots I'm wearing in the 1st and 4th photos are L&B's L&B S'Wear Carissa Ankle Boots ($599L) which have 24 HUD-driven color options for the boot leather, 11 options for the metal studs and buckles, and 2 options for the soles (black and beige).

The heels I'm wearing with the blue outfit in the 3rd photo are Kristen Slink Heels High Feet by FashionNatic ($380). They have corset lacing on the back and underside of the shoe, and have 20 HUD-driven color options for both the main part of the shoe and heels (changed separately so you can create your own combinations), 2 options for the metal rivets on the back (silver and gold), and a plethora of "create your own color" options for the fabric behind the laces on both the back and underside of the shoe (also changed separately). You can get a better look at them on the Marketplace.

The heart-shaped sunglasses I'm wearing in the 3rd photo are the Puppy Love Shades by Sn@tch ($100L). They're mesh shades which are touch-scripted for size and have 22 touch-scripted color change options for both the lenses and frames (changed separately).




The 1st outfit in the photo above is L&B's Swear Candy" Zipp Mini Skirt - Tartans ($499L) which has 20 HUD-driven tartan/leather combinations and 8 options for the zipper and studs. It also has 19 leather and 22 tartan options so you can create your own pairings. The top is L&B's S'Wear Beaded Halter - Knit Brights ($399L) which has 12 HUD-driven color options. The boots are the knee-high version of L&B's Elise Ankle & Knee Boots - PATENT BL ($699L) - the ankle version of which is shown in the very first photo of this post.

The 3rd outfit is the S'Wear Mischief Hoodie fatpack ($699L) that I talked about in detail beneath the 2nd photo in this post.

The 4th outfit is the S'wear Mesh Cropped T-shirt I mentioned earlier and L&B's S'Wear Pencil Skirt FatPack2 ($499L) which has 24 HUD-driven color options. The boots are L&B's S'Wear "Bianca" Ankle Boots - Smooth Neutrals 2 ($599L) which come with 16 HUD-driven color options for the leather, 3 for the soles, 18 for the straps, and 2 for the zippers and buckles (silver and bronze). I'm also wearing Ebony Stockings by Bettie's ($50L) which have a lovely seam on the back.
