What A Slouch!

It's official, the boot loving public at large now has ample reason to curse my name for tempting them to spend even more dough this week. In the spirit of Thanksgiving, I hope that at least they can hold off on the public stoning long enough to appreciate this very worthy addition to Stiletto Moody's Fall Release, the Slouch Boot. One look at these will tell you that these are a variation on the previously released SMG2 Tall Boots, but with the look of a slouchy soft leather upper and some great Fall inspired shades, the Slouch Boots have a very special flavor all their own.

The full colour range on these is already available, and features some fantastic new shades L-R; Russet, Beige, Tan, Taupe, Black and my personal favorite the Aubergine which I am wearing . The boots come in a small and a larger 'super slouchy' version (worn), which can accommodate a bigger leg or just add a fuller boot look. A superbly detailed chunky ankle chain with signature heart charm that can be gold or silver is a great final touch, or can be removed. It seems that this will be the last of the Stiletto Moody temptations for Fall, so we can begin saving up for her next releases which should come in plenty of time for Holiday gift giving.

Shop for these at Stiletto Moody.

The Business of Sexy

Yes, she did it again. That Siren of Stilettos, Stiletto Moody, has released more tantalizing footwear to make us drool. This time it is a fabulous variation on the Patent Pinup featuring a new selection of Fall colors, and two optional bows (heel and toe), along with the other customizable features mentioned in my previous post.

I absolutely love the sweet sexy styling of the Pinup, and the added yumminess of bows... hello! One thing I was very happy to see it the Blacker Black of the new release, the previous had a fairly blue-black hue to it that made it a tricky match on some occasions. The colors are available individually or as a full set of the five with a colorchange menu, and in my opinion the Chocolate, Burgundy and Blacker Black make this a fantastic option.

So while Monday is hardly my favorite day of the week, today is a little bit brighter thanks to shoes this pretty. Here is a look at Stiletto Moody's Ad showing the full fall color range (thanks Dancer!), but you can get a closer look at the shades in-world at Stiletto Moody Headquarters.

StyleCard: BAX Boots

Ahhh! Nothing like a release from BAX Boots to get me to lace up and get back to blogging, needed a bit of a break after that all out marathon of shoes while Graci was away. But she is back, and I have had my little break... and here come the boots! Bax Coen really doesn't fail with her sleek sculpted lace-up ankle boots, her latest are the Brown Suede Ankle Boots. They offer an amazing 4 boot suedes to choose from and multiple cuddly toppers in wool, fur and animal prints. Metals are easily changed between Gold and Silver, and there is even a lace version of the topper and a customization menu that allows for more personal choices for the various parts.


These remind me of the completely impractical winter boots I always wanted in high school... walking in 3 feet of slush in a stiletto heel isn't really wise, but for SL and it's oh so mild winter ahead, I can't think of a more perfect choice to go with all those practical and sexy sweaters, dresses and denims. I threw on my favorite tights from Persona and the amazing belted dress from AOHARU (comes with a stand alone belt option making it a great accessory investment too!). A bit cute, a bunch sexy, a great value with so many options!

Visit BAX Boots soon!

The Stuff; Redgrave Skin, Mirai Hair, AOHURA Dress & Belt, Persona Tights.

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.

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.

ChiChi, Yes Yes...Yes!

It feels like I have been living in lingerie for the past week or so, but really what better reason to take off your clothes is there… than lounging about in great shoes like these. When I first caught sight of the new ChiChi shoes from Maitreya it was at the GLAM Magazine launch fashion show. My heart skipped at least a beat, maybe two, my camera zoomed – I was in bliss. These shoes are like a little Valentine’s gift to all female feet across the grid.

Onyx LeShelle has really outdone herself, the styling of this shoe is spectacular and inspired by a real life shoe that she fell in love with on sight – no I won’t name names… but feel free to do some research! The amazing shape is a shoe lovers dream, and the details are completely ingenious, she even went so far at to have the inside textured to give the illusion of a shadow created by the straps and ties… I mean – nobody sees that unless they are rezzing them to take a photograph, but there it is, small gold logo embossed on the sole and all.

You really can’t go wrong with these shoes – my advice is fatpack these babies, but even if you can decide on one or two pairs – you get so much value here. The shoes are scripted – NO, not for bling or clicking! –so that you can change the color of the trim. There are 14 shoe colors, and 16 changeable trim colors… my math is rusty, but I think that gives you approx. 224 options… far too many to list here. And knowing how Maitreya continually experiments with new and exciting textures I am sure that it won’t be long before they introduce variations of the ChiChi. The ChiChi has just hit the shelves – make sure a visit to GLAM WORLD 2 is on your Valentine’s ‘to do’ list. Now please… I need some alone time with my shoes!

Those Boots Are Back...and Better.

When the Kitties Lair boots first popped onto my (and everyone else's) radar just before Christmas, I desperately wanted to blog them, I just loved them... they are beyond realistic. Those dangling flexi ties, the perfectly shadowed overturned top and great stacked wooden heels gave me plenty to adore. But I read a few posts on them on other blogs and I had heard that Babette Ultsch was in the process of revamping these beloved boots, so I held off. I am happy to report that the Venice Boots are still all that they were then, and now so much more.

Babette has added a few small details to the boot itself - some nice metal grommets on the back. But the biggest changes to the boot are in the form of a 'touch' for dialogue box that allows you to change the metal accents from silver to gold, the heel to a unified color heel or a stacked wood heel... and good news for all you blingophiles and blingophobes - you can change the bling intensity or turn it off altogether. She has intoduced the version 3.o boot in Black, Brown, Slate, Red, White and a fantastic Pink too. Demo available in store, check them out!

For the Boys... and Girls.

Ever since my co-blogger Joel has been under the weather, On Your Toes has been keenly lacking a dose of testosterone. In an attempt to remedy this situation, when I caught sight of this piece about SOREAL on the Vain Inc. blog - I decided to gather up the troops and make a day of it. Lucky for me I have an address book just overflowing with the hottest male models in SL! I was lucky to catch Jonny Tobias and Steve Hansen online, and they generously agreed to follow me and Graci on a window shopping trip around 'Fashion Mode' legend Ashlin Leandros' new San Leandros sim, scheduled to open in all it's shopping glory this coming Saturday.

SOREAL creator Kwamey Pinion (pictured below) has really done wonders here, both the sculpty work and the texturing are incredible... the City Steps Sneakers look so real I was tempted to peel open the Velcro closures (yes Joel, Velcro!) just to hear that familiar sound. If you have read this blog before you might recall I rarely go anyplace without a pair of stilettos on. But these feel good... so good. They look perfectly at home on male and female feet and come in fantastic color combinations and fabrications, available singly, in multi-packs or the ultimate - a colorchange HUD option that lets you have all 13 looks in your footwear arsenal.

SOREAL is still in it's early stages, only a few items up for grabs at the moment (including the black and blue jacket Steve is wearing) but make note of the name - I expect some great things yet to come.
