Pixel Mode's Pretty Pixels

5 Minutes Flat

I've been waiting for these flats, yeah... flats. My keen peepers spotted these as a work in progress inside the teeny 5 Minutes After shop located on niQue soil. I soon pestered owner Agathe Latte to find out when the release date might be... sadly they were not yet for sale. Today I visited again, and yes they were for sale, amazingly priced at 200 L per pair.

These sweet Ballet Shoes come in both pink and purple. They are an amazingly detailed leather slipper with elastic strap... just like my own had as a kid in ballet class. The texturing is really sensational, and I am glad I let Agathe finish these in her own time... these are really well done.

Dance on over to 5 Minutes After and grab a pair or a demo, and also check out her selection of neat boots and bags.

More Artwork from Nyla

It's always a beautiful day when Nyla Cheeky releases more of her couture creations into Second Life®. Her latest releases come complete with shoes, so lucky me... I get to share them with all of you! Just visiting the House of Nyla it's easy to see what sets her work apart, there are only a handful of top designers in SL™ who can really boast that they design for both worlds. Nyla creates with an artists touch, her use of color and textiles is really spectacular.

The release of her Red Dragon Corset Gown and Jet Nymph Corset Cocktail Dress mark the arrival of the Empress Mules. These daintily beaded sandals are delicate works of art, the tiny prim work is remarkable. This go round at shoe making Nyla has revamped the shape of the shoe and the overall level of realism. I like the look of the stamped leather soles a lot. The overall look of the dresses and shoes is as usual, the stuff of fantasies.

Find the Empress Mules and these beautiful dresses at House of Nyla.

The Truth and nothing but...

I love the summer, I mean adore it! So anything that reminds me of summer, surf and sand is right on my list of favs! On this list is Truth Hawks' new Iggy shoes. These casual slipons are perfect for taking a trip to the beach, or a walk on the boardwalk right as the sun is starting to set. Available in 3 different patterns, the bamboo, duo, and stitched. What is cool is these come as scripted shoes so by clicking on the right shoe, you can change the color instantly and have 5 choices (see below). These also are unisex shoes and come in sizes 0, 15, and 35.

On a side note the first picture in my post was taken in Windlight outdoors, while the close ups were taken inside, hence the color difference (I'm still struggling to figure it all out). None of the pictures were post processed other than cropping. Visit truth In World.

Felicity from Tesla

Tesla Miles released these Shiny Felicity Slingback Stilettos this week, and you can't go wrong with cute shoes like these. Tesla's prices are very reasonable and her shoes are always fun! I paired these with a great new Bali frock from eLDee, and I plan to catch her fashion show put on by JM Models tonight at 6 pm SLT, her latest releases look fantastic!

Get the shoes at Tesla, and look for the dress at eLDee.

New Viniani at Armidi

...say that 10 times, fast!

Oh, what sets my heart a flutter more than release day at Armidi? Surely I do not know. And there I was thick with lag and determination, I needed to see the shoes. Yesterday's massive release included accessories, Men's and Women's Gisaci items... and these, the Viniani Heels.


Oh joy, what bliss - so many colors... possibly too many colors! It was near to impossible to decide, and even harder after I saw the new clothing and wanted them to all cooperate well. I am going to have to learn to browse then buy! But decisions were eventually made, my picks; Chocolate - those sneaky Armidites tried to make me choose between 3 equally awesome browns (tisk, tisk!), Eggplant - irresistible shade, and Reja Pink - because I'm a girl darn it!

As usual the shoes are great, nothing bad to say about them - they just keep getting better! Take a closer look at the Viniani Heels by trying a demo, and see all the new releases at Armidi. You can also visit the Armidi Blog for fancier pictures than I could ever take. :)

Zhao-zza!

I'm cross posting, so forgive my enthusiasm. But what do you do when two designers team up to bring us great clothing and shoes? Well, I don't know about you, but I let everyone I know hear about it!

Melanie Zhao of Zhao Shoes has paired up with Raven Pennyfeather to bring us some really edgy outfits and shoes. First it was the Black Dahlia and now the Tamaras in Durrante shades.

The Tamaras are available in noir, earth, and crimson and perfectly matches the clothing made by the House of RFyre. Melanie also created 3 other tones independent of the Durante collaboration that are equally as stylish. Let me tell you these are ankle boots with substance and details.

Supernovas...supersandals

I have found a new obsession to add to all the others....strappy sandals! After my toes were cooped up all winter in fabulous boots they are dying to air out a bit, and so far my favorite SL designers are giving me just the beauties to do that in! New from Shiny Things are the Supernovas! Available in 9 colors, and priced at $350L, these shoes are full of fine detailing. Good height on the heel and surprisingly my foot doesn't look too bad inside. These are a staple for my summer wardrobe. Check out Shiny Things In World and On Line.

Shooz I Would be Caught Dead In

I recently saw the giant glossy ads in Second Style Magazine for ShOOz!, and I realized I have never actually visited Xekollo Shilova's store on addiXion, or taken a look at her newest releases. I was pleased to find these fantastic Absynth Shoes in 2 different styles.

Yeah I know, not my usual style... but seriously there is a lot going on here that makes these worth a closer look. Firstly, the basic Absynth Shoes, a soft caramel brown platform style leather loafer with hand tooled details and stitching, capped off with dried peacock blue roses and faded greenery. The shoes come with matching woolen sock and more attachments with the roses and vines, a few small tassels are thrown in for good measure.

The Goth version of the Absynth Shoes takes wearable tiny skulls to a whole other level, these charcoal colored shoes also have matching socks and are adorned with strings of tiny bones. A great element of these are the smears of blood on various spots on the shoes, they are not simply mirrored from the left to the right shoe, so they have a very authentic feel... you know, if I am ever stomping around in blood and stuff. :)

Visit ShOOz! and step into some cute dead stuffs.

I wanted to post this Sunday, but my wireless went out and I was dead in the water, I have the worst luck! Anyhows, take a look at these adorable shoes from Tesla Miles. The Catalina Wedge comes in multiple colors and has a cute lil space in the sole that is too cool, and I can not forget the heart on the toe!!

Talithia Wedge from Jaywalk

More great wedge sandals from Lyra Muse at Jaywalk, these ones are named Talithia. They are pretty special in the way they combine the thin leather strap work of a great sandal with a painted solid wood wedge. The wedge itself is cut from a bleached wood and has the appearance of a painted on heel and color sole - giving these sandals a unique style.

As always Lyra has produced these in some great shades, 12 to be exact - a nice balance of colors and neutrals. Shown below are; Forest, Royal, Cream, Black, Lime, Burgandy, Henna and Magenta.

Taking Sulaco for a Walk

Some newness to share from Enktan Gully of Enkythings, the Sulaco is a peep toed ankle strap pump, and the quality of these is exceptional. They are exceedingly well done, loads of detail from stitching to strap, a perfectly shaped heel and lovely thin sculpted leather parts.

As with many Enkythings releases there are many color options available to suit your wardrobe, check in store for full selection. The Sulaco also comes in a 'Simple' and a 'Shades' version which features a second color contrast piece and insole. My fave is the 'oh-so-white' White Simple version, which features additional white sole detail - perfect for spring weddings!

Shown above are; Simple in Burgundy, Umber and White - and the Shades in Cinnamon, Pink and Olive. Shop for the Sulaco at Enkythings.

FNKY News

Sale Alert! Maybe it's just news to me, but yesterday I discovered that FNKY has marked down it's footwear collection by, as near as I can tell, as much as half price (if someone knows for sure I'd be happy to post the details). I've been eyeing the T Strap pumps for a good while now, and was happy to grab these pink ones up for the very reasonable sale price.


Also noteworthy, the great men's shoes - some of my favorite ever guy's casuals -have been marked down, along with the unisex Kicks, an all around great suede sneaker.

UBU: Update!

As I tend to do, I visit some of my favorite cobblers from time to time because I just hate to miss an exciting new release. Today it was UBU (Urban Bomb Unit)'s turn, and O-M-G there they were. More of those amazing rain boots I blogged way back at the beginning of March, and holy baked goods - Cupcakes! I think I sent pairs to all my friends as gifts... and forgot to get some for me. :(

In any case they are still fan-frippin-tabulous... and so are the 2 other new styles, Dots and Retro Stars. If you somehow were able to resist the call of the rain boots last go round... I double dare you to resist these adorable things again!

Get your puddle jumping selves to UBU, now!

Truth Be Told

Oooh, goody goody gumdrops! Another new player in the shoe game... okay, I can't say for sure that Mr. Truth Hawks is a player, what I can say is that he announced the release of some shoes yesterday and they are darn cute. And here they be, 2 styles both alike in quality - but unique in style. We've got the Newtown Wedges and the Balmoral Pumps, creator credits go to Ignite Nightfire according to the TRUTH Blog - I would confirm this, but I just can't seem to get logged in tonight - what's that about?

In any case the ones I am showing off are the scripted full color set dealies, and they are amazingly priced for scripted and sculpted shoes, so don't hesitate to get that version if you are even tempted to grab these puppies up. These are a really nice option for those of you that flee from the super high and dangerously pointy stuff. The cork soled Newtons are always a great option for spring, but I really like the daintier stacked wood heels on the Balmorals.

I'd name off all these juicy colors for you, but since I can't seem to log - lets just call 'em; Purple, Blue, Brown, Fuchsia, Green, Black, Red and Slate. Go get some at TRUTH.

Rawwrr for Animal Prints

So awhile back I had featured some shoes from AW Designs, and I was very impressed. After I visited the store I sent off an IM to the designer, Adrina Welders and let her know that I loved the few shoes she had and to IM me when she had some new products. Well today was my lucky day. Not only did Adrina come out with some new shoes, but she dropped a pair on me to take a look at, and I really do enjoy these shoes.

I'm showing you the Schoo Cheetahs above and I just have to say I love animal prints! I actually want to get my hands on the zebra and giraffe prints as well. These cuties are worth a look for sure. The extra high heal with the ankle boot look is very sexy indeed!

Tree of SL..Grows Flowers!

Nessa and Kets were nice enough to invite me shopping last night and I love to tag along, so of course I accepted. We had gone to a couple shops when Anessa disappeared, and then soon after Kets and I were tp'd to a place with a very, very large cupcake. Me, being a slow poke was goofing around with the frosting, when Kets shouts..."There here are the clothes...and cute shoes."

So off we went and yesss there were cute clothes and very cute shoes. The Flower Heels are 6 separate shoes covered with exotic flora. Available with the hardwood, hemp or leaf heel, these cuties are fun and whisper warm weather to all of us who are counting down the days for summer. So we stopped for a moment, shopped a lil, and I snapped a quick shot (ok it wasn't really quick, but Nessa kept shoving and then crashing).

Here is our loot (from left to right) Kets: Flower Heels - Tropics Hardwood which she paired with the Tiny Bubbles Provence Verte dress. Graci: Flower Heels - Tropics Hemp, matched with the Umbrella Liquid Sunshine dress. Anessa: Flower Heels - White Orchids Hardwood. Umbrella Old Hollywood dress.

One thing I will miss about the cold and all the boots, is that they so nicely hide misshapen SL feet. Urrg, I wish there was a way to fix the look of my feet other than wearing socks. Would someone get on that? Pretty Please?

Another Detour

I haven't been a happy camper lately, Windlight is kicking my butt and making my usual hobby of snapping pictures left and right practically unbearable. The show must go on however, and the shoes must be blogged... not even the new viewer can keep me from enjoying finding great shoes.

My almost daily stops to Detour lately have netted some great hair, skins and lashes... and I had seen the great looking shoes Graci blogged yesterday, but when I arrived today I saw these Layback Flip Flops and had to grab a pair. It seems that I practically live in flip flops during the summer in RL (sorry folks, not many actual stilettos in my wardrobe), and I instantly needed to have these ones.

They come in 5 colors, and a scripted color change pair - all are equipped with male and female sizes in the pack. The textures and shape are great - and just look at the bottom! The toe strap actually landed between the toes on my skin - a definite plus. You can find these right inside the door over at Detour.

Before I was Detoured!

Wouldn't you know it that just as my laptop was dying I was finishing up some pictures of some uber cute sneaks? Sooo even though they are not new to most of you...if you haven't taken a look at the Detour Supersprint Sneakers by chance...I'm reminding you. The great thing about these shoes is that they are unisex and come in a small, medium and large, and in 5 colors.


I know some of you think sneakers make your feet look like boats, because....well they do, but these are some of the better pairs I've had on. I've also left you some snippets of the other sneakers from the creator of Detour, Detour Sideways, (offered at the time i was there before "the crash") and a pair of cute pumps. Detour can be found InWorld.

Well because I'm 100 years behind on everything, I'll keep this short and sweet. You all know I have a weakness for Fallingwater Cellardoor's anything...so the new release shouldn't surprise you...take a look if you haven't already! So much fab new stuff this weekend. Oh it is good to be a girl. The Brandys come in 9 delicious colors and will run you $300L's. As always demos are available and each purchase gets you 2 sizes of the shoe to fit you the best.

Gem of a Sandal

Sandals, sandals and more sandals! No complaints from me... here's one that offers that little something extra, the Namid Sandals from DeLa. This time around Kuranosuke Kamachi has created a sexy spectacle with colour changing gemstones.

The sandal comes in 2 styles, the only difference is the appearance of the adorning gems. The Namid above features a huge circular cut gem and 2 large almost marquis shaped gems below it, while the Namid 2 (shown below) offers a cluster of round stones set on a darker background.

The shoes come in a great assortment of colors, and a sexy leopard print too, and similar to the Celine sandals the base has a supremely sexy look to it while the upper wraps the foot nicely in smooth leather.

The color change scripted gemstones work with a 'touch for menu' and are very easy to change, there are lovely options like platinum, ruby and sapphire for the gems - adding to the wearability of a sandal like this.

Even if you are a bit shy of the bright colours, grabbing a neutral like the Black or the White still allows you to customize the look of the shoe with a simple click.

Pick up the Namid Sandals at DeLa.

Hello Dolly!

A couple new versions of the Dolly shoes have hit the shelves at Periquita, the cute shoe shop by creator Erpla Prieto. The latest styles carry on the tradition of bright color and simple fun footwear that have cute names; Tie Me Up Dollys and Wrap Me Up Dollys.

The Tie Me Up pumps are patent leather capped toe confections. They come in great shades, 7 in all; the White with Red Toes (shown above), Blue, Green, Light Green, Orange Pink and White - all with Black Patent Leather Toes. While I love all the colors, it seems like forever since I have seen a capped toe pump, I love this look for that alone.

The Wrap Me Ups are another great looking shoe by Erpla, same shape as the Tie Me Ups - but with 3 'ribbons' wrapping the toe, and an adorable sculpted bow. I so dig the teal interiors on these shoes, and the fun colors really inspired me to dig in my inventory and pull a fun teal accented look together.

Weighing in with 8 great color combos; I am wrapped up in the Yellow, below are Crazy Barbie Pink, Cyan, Green, Pink Stripes, Purple and Soft Pink ('Bug' not shown). Some of the Wrap Me Up pumps have a matching heel, while others have a dark heel - and they all look great!


These shoes are so much fun to wear, every girl show have some! Get yours at Periquita.

Venus Divine

I always love when I get my first glimpse at the work of creators new to the shoe biz. More often than not I am thrilled with the items that come my way, and the first shoes to hit the shelves by the folks behind *HUB* (formerly Hubby's Boutique), JH and Jessie Gervasi really got my attention. It seems that even in this climate of content theft and drama mongering there are still some wonderful things being 'born' into SL™ daily. Hooray for that!

I can easily say that I am impressed with these unique Venus Sandals, with both a cork sole and a stacked wooden heel. They come in 5 variations, the chocolate 'snakeskin' suede I am wearing above, also Cherrie, Sand, and Noir (Black) Suedes and a great looking Noir Patent. The construction of the Venus is top notch and the ankle wrap is super sexy when shown off with a short skirt.

Demos are available in store, check out the fabulous detail up close at *HUB*.

Knock me dead there are new shoes (and clothes) at Redgrave!!

So after a chat with Davey from Homme mag he informs me there was new shoes at Redgrave (things only ever get released there after I don't go there for all of 2 days, I need a subscibe-o-matic group thing to there so I won't miss anything in future) so I stumble down there to check it out, and my god, he was right!

There was a heap of new clothes and I swear that it was Emilia Redgrave's goal to separate the men of SL from their lindens. Anyway, I went a little crazy and got some new clothes to go along with these new shoes. Look at the results of this little moment of indulgence in the following article.

First up was the STRAP Loafer's which I totally loved. These loafers are accentuated with prim laces and by 2 straps that go over the shoe, and have have some of the most highly detailed textures I have seen on shoes in SL as if we all expect anything less than this from Redgrave. She sets the standard with her textures and these shoes are no exception. I coupled the black pair of these with the new Redgrave ELEGANCE Suit in Black and they perfectly complimented each other as can be seen below. This suit would have to be my new favorite inventory item (as you all know I am a suit whore) and it is amazing, just everything about it I totally love. This 20 piece (yes that is right 20 pieces!) has so many options and combinations you will be able to wear it for weeks on end without your friends even knowing you had clicked out of that folder. It also comes with a black prim foulard, prim watch, 2 lengths of tie, and 2 sets of prim cuffs (shirt cuffs and suit cuffs). This suit sets the new standard in my eyes, as everything about it screams Elegance.

Next pair I tried on was the STRAP Loafers -Sands- which are in a neutral sandy colour, and to compliment these I decided upon the new Redgrave Jeans Dirty No.1 -Dirty- as the neutral tonality of the shoe is highlighted by the dark appearance of the jeans. Once again, I think this combo topped off with Redgrave's Rolled up Sleeve in dark sand sweater or Smoke with Shirt would make an awesome casual combination all achieved with the luxury of shopping in only one store!

The next style of new shoe was the Casual Loafer , the black pair of which I again coupled with the ELEGANCE suit. I have to say the shading details and texturing on all these shoes is amazing and I am sure you will be seeing me wearing them in-world alot in future.

For the Dark Brown Casual Loafer I pulled out my Redgrave Striped PANTS Brown I had in inventory and these shoes complimented these pants perfectly.

Overall I must say I love all the new (and old stuff) available at Redgrave, and Emilia still retains her spot at the top of my list of favorite designers. Her absence has been missed but lets hope this isn't the end, as SL wouldn't be the same without designers such as her who push the limits as to what can be achieved. The following few pics are these shoes coupled with a couple of other new items I picked up to give you a taste of the new items available at Redgrave. I have to conclude by saying I love all this stuff! Woot wooot!!

On HIS Toes

Tesla Miles is such a tease! She goes and gets me all excited about a new release this week, only to drop on me 6 pairs of... men's shoes. *groans* OK, I can do this! All I need to do is find some willing male feet - Oh! and looky... isn't that Caelen Mata and his adorable feet right there. Yay! So here it is, a review of Tesla's first steps into the land of male footwear.

OK for starters can we just acknowledge the fact that men's and women's footwear and avatar feet for that matter are very different, so for Tesla to tackle a new challenge like this is really admirable. And the truth is she has done a really nice job on these Leather Oxfords, they are simple and well constructed, nice textures and shapes - and in 6 wearable shades.

These come with a resizer script and I really didn't ask Cael to play around with it (thus, the slightly smallish feet in these shots), but it is a great feature and the instructions are easy enough to follow. Now I need to go take this handsome man dancing, in his nice new Oxfords... see how that works? :)

Gentlemen you can find these shoes at Tesla World. Enjoy!

Caelen is also wearing; Damiani Skin, -=H2L=- Hair (I think), Armidi Suit & Tie, I am wearing; Minnu Skin, ETD Hair, Ingenue Dress, Battered Boudoir seamed stockings and Maitreya Verve Pumps.

Jaywalking

As I mentioned in my post yesterday, the talented Lyra Muse has successfully opened her new store under the name Jaywalk - this change, from the previous incarnation as LC Vamp, is just as exciting as all the amazing new items she has released for her Grand Opening.

Five new styles, all fabulous spring/summer fare, made their way onto my feet after my visit to the store to pick up the RFL Boots - and a quick congratulatory chat with Lyra. I hope you enjoy them as much as I am. Because of the sheer number of amazing styles available I wanted to try and keep the length of the post to a minimum, so I am presenting only a few of the available shades per shoe.

Livia is a fantastic looking flat sandal with semi-precious stone discs, leather and metal accents and and attractive dark wooden sole. Worn in Crimson, also show are; Prussian Blue, Black and Tan. I am wearing; PXL Skin, Detour Hair, Armidi Limited Pants, Random Tunic, Muse Necklace & Ingrid Ingersoll Tote.

Diamanda sure earns her name... this cute sandal is studded with rhinestones along the ankle strap and embedded in the heel. Tons of great colors in this style, and darling little sculpted bows on the front. I am sporting the Crimson, also showing Pink, Indigo and Grey. Worn in the image above are; PXL Skin, Detour Hair, /artilleri/ shorts, Elephant Outfitters Top, Earrings by Creamshop, Bangle by Caroline's.

Kithryn is a nice chunky platform mule on a blond wooden sole. A nicely shaped heel and lots of colors to choose from. These come in both leather and suede versions, I am wearing the suede in Ultramarine, also shown in suede are Moss, Fuchsia and Russet, and in leather are Crimson, Blue and Buttercream. Worn above are; PXL skin, ETD Hair, Celestial Studios Dress, and JUNK Earrings.

The sexy strappy Billie is one of my faves of this release, I really love the pair of darker toned buckled straps and the chunky heel on these. I am wearing the Wheat version, also shown to the left are Pewter, Teal and Cherry. I paired the Billie with; Skin by PXL, Hair by Maitreya, /artilleri/ Outfit, Accessories by Earthtones.

Haleigh is a super high cork soled platform, with gem stone accents on the toe and a ton of great colors, all named appropriately enough for precious stones. I settled on the Sapphire, and am also sharing the Emerald, Garnet and Amethyst. My clothing is from Mimikri Hot Couture and G.L.A.M., Accessories from Earthtones, while my Skin is PXL, Hair is from ETD.
