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*.

Sugar and Spice

It has been an interesting weekend, and I was without Internet access for most of it, so I am a bit behind on the bloggery - but that doesn't mean I am without some great shoes to show off! Melanie Zhao of ZHAO Shoes dropped a ton of new stuff on me on Friday, here are 2 of my faves from her new release... something sweet and something with some bite!

For a sweet treat I love these Callie Cork Soled Maryjane's, shown here in black. They have a cute pair of buckled straps and a nice high heel, that comes with 2 cork options. They are certainly a great looking pair of shoes... and like I have said before, a traditional prim shoe done well is perfectly welcome in my closet! this is one of those.

Also among the new releases are the oh-so-high Tamara Lace-Up Platforms these certainly make a spicy little statement, with a laced-up upper and a shiny shiny platform below... a real spike of a heel is certainly an attention getter. I love these with my socks from Dutch Touch (complete with prim ankle attachments that are not part of the shoe).

Two very different looks - these and more great shoes are available at ZHAO Shoes.

Also wearing; Minnu Skin, ETD Hair, Clothes from Tres Blah, Frustrated Inc., Canimal, Artilleri, Battered Boudoir & Dutch Touch Hosiery, Accessories by Nylon/Yummy, Callah, Paper Couture, Alyssa Bijoux, Abyss and Caroline's.

T-Strap Happy

Sandy Cleghorn of FUEL dropped her fresh new release on me last night, previously we have featured her Bella Pumps, Dolly Slippers, and Tainted Boots. The Bambee Wedges are a cute cork soled wedge with a buckled T-strap upper. The shoes have a neat organic feel to the sculpties and come in a variety of 9 neutrals and brights. I liked the look of the cork and the variety of textures that range from a linen look to suedes and reptile skin. My Favorite are the 'Milk', show below.

Also Available; Apple Fizz, Lemon, Fizzy Geko, Strawbs, Fizzy Sand, Milk (Dirty), BlueBerry and a Liquorice not shown here.



The Bambee Wedges are available at FUEL.
