Sharing a Secret

On Your Toes: Elikatira Secret Boots

The first thing that comes to mind when you think of Elikatira is probably hair, but Elikapeka Tiramisu has also released footwear. Back in the ETD days, she had quite a collection of shoes and hopefully will continue that trend with Elikatira. The Secret Boots are slouchy, soft-looking leather boots with a silver buckle at the ankle. They are available in a variety of colors that will go with pretty much anything in your virtual closet.

Go Bare with Maitreya!

Maitreya Bare Feet @ On Your Toes

It's not always about having fierce shoes... sometimes a girl just wants to have pretty feet. The avatar foot has to be one of the ugliest body parts. Even with a great skin, the foot is still awful. Enter in the prim foot. There have been several prior to Maitreya's new bare feet, but I have to say these are my favorite.

Maitreya Bare Feet @ On Your Toes

Like all Maitreya Gold shoes, a HUD is included for skin and nail matching along with an up to date notecard with values for a number of skins. Also included are anklets for each ankle and scripted toe-rings. The Maitreya Bare Feet are available in tip toe and flat foot versionsand make me want to wander the grid barefoot all the time.

Visit Maitreya to check out these Bare Feet.

Stepping Dangergously

Full2

With this being my first post here at “On Your Toes” I thought it fitting to showcase of the most delicious shoes as of late I have had the pleasure of wriggling my pixel toes into – the Sock & Tights version of Salience by Maitreya – shown in Liquorice.

MaitreyaCollage


Maitreya is well known for the cutting edge, and remarkable styles of shoes, Salience was released previously in a bare foot version, but these – are fun, sassy, and ever-so-brilliantly done – each pair is with socks and tights – a wide array of colors (shown wearing the “socks” version in Silver Blue with the Black opaque knee socks.)

The outfit was built around the shoes! Richly textures, billowy and soft, the is by LeeZu and skirt from AMD – the perfect addition to show off silvery soft blue and black socks chosen – accessorizing with MOOD’s Drops of Rain earrings wraps this look up. Stepping Dangerously is without a doubt a fierce look, offering femininity and flair with every step.

Visit Maitreya for Salience and other incredible footwear.

Lya Lya

I am really very pushy, I like to push talented creators to do what they do best, and that includes making me new shoes to wear. Lyanis Sin of Lya had been playing hookie for quite some time when I caught her online and begged her to make something new, she finally agreed and not too long after she delivered to me the most adorable flats, called Elika, which are really something special.


What I love about the Elika Flats is the proportion, Lyanis manages to deliver a pretty flat that doesn't make me look like a giant with munchkin feet, while utilizing the viewer 2 alpha layer, the flats are a decent length and width that will work on 'taller' avys as well as child and shorter ones. The color palate is muted and fresh, with a color change bow that can create a subtle effect or a more eye catching embellishment depending on your taste.

Visit the Lya Store to see the complete color assortment!

The Stuff;

Shoes: Lya, Elika Flats, Multiple Colors Shown (bow is color change).

Skin: PXL, Gaia, LightTan NE MEB C2 FR
Skin Tattoo: PXL, Gaia, LightTan Pale Lipstick
Hair: Truth, Lacey, Chocolate.

Dress: AOHARU, OffShoulder Gauze Tunic, Gingham/Gray,
Earrings: U & R Dogs, Clair de lune Pierced Earrings Shell.
Bracelet: U & R Dogs, Albeniz Bracelet.
Bag: LOTTA, Straw Tote Bag.

Stiletto Summer

It has been a while since I slipped into a pair of Moody's, but Stiletto Moody has made the most of a sizzling hot Summer, and released a new line of ridiculously sexy shoes. The Grace Range includes multiple styles, all with the traditional super high stiletto silhouette and sexy well arched foot style. If you are a fan of the brand you will surely love these updates and the hot colors and python textures, metal accessory options and more.The Stiletto Moody shoes still utilize the invisi-prim, pre-viewer 2 construction that feature a two part shoe, a lower portion and an ankle piece. I made a point of talking to Stiletto to inquire about when we might see a viewer 2 friendly update thus allowing the wearing of just a single attachment shoe, I was pleased to hear that there are plans to move in that direction and that SM customers can expect complimentary updates as soon as they become available.

Please sashay over to Stiletto Moody to see more of this impressive line and the colors available in the new Summer selection. Enjoy!

The stuff;

Shoes: Stiletto Moody, GRACE Bauhaus, All Colors Set.

Skin: PXL, Gaia, SunKissed SE DEB C2 FR.
Hair: Exile, Valerie, Sable.

Dress: Emery, Gradient Dress [02].
Accessories: Paper Couture, Sunrise Earrings & Polished Stones Ring (Orange).

Kitty Flats from The Kid Company



When Katey Coppola announced that she was going to start creating clothing I knew it was going to be fantastic because Katey has such a discerning eye when she creates her poses for Glitterati. Katey has now two stores dedicated to clothing, The Kid Company and Petticoat Lane. Katey teased us in Plurk and on her flickr stream by showing us pictures of her creations before their release. When I first saw these Kitty Flats I knew that I would have to take the opportunity to blog them.

Kitty Flats are from, "The Kid Company" and are perhaps the cutest shoe I have seen in a while in Second Life. Originally the Kitty Flats are tailored to children, but I think they are perfectly suited for everyone. Available in nine colors the simplistic design is made more complex with the addition of ears and eyes. What I find most lovable about the Kitty Flats is the inside of the pink ears which adds a subtle cuteness and matches all color versions of the Kitty Flat. Moderately priced at only 75L per pair these shoes are a total WIN.  I highly recommend these flats for anyone that enjoys a casual cute look.
