Miami Heat

It is time for another round of our beloved Collabor88, and I am ridiculously excited about the fun bright colors and summery flavor of the items available at this round. The inspiration for this post came in the form of the newest Barnesworth Anubis prefab skybox, a hot tribute to the deco inspired dwellings of South Beach, Miami, a fresh and fitting backdrop for this 90's interpretation of sherbet colored cool!

 

A guest at this round of Collabor88, and a relatively 'new to me' store, VinCue, delivers a sweet strapless dress in a ridiculously generous number of color combinations, all with this textural dot pattern on the bottom. Perfect garb for sitting indoors on a hot Miami day, sipping iced tea (complete with a splash of something more intoxicating.) The precious and delicate Solitaire Heart accessories set from Maxi Gossamer is quickly becoming one of my favorites, I love the understated scale of the necklace and as always the color change feature, this must have, can be found over at FaMESHed.

 

Finally, these fantastic Lydia Slingback shoes from Ingenue take a giant step forward, so thrilled to see yet another talented designer embrace the perfection of the enhanced Slink feet, and I just love the texture and multiple fun colors of this shoe, complete with baby peep-toes and bows... and we know how I love my bows! The skin is Cleo, the latest from GLAM Affair, just check out the perfection of this brightly colored eye make-up and sweet fresh face.

Risqué Business

Ris`que´ (rės`kã´)

 

 

a. masc.

1.

Hazardous; risky; esp., fig., verging upon impropriety; dangerously close to, or suggestive of, what is indecent or of doubtful morality; as, a risqué story.

A bare shoulder, a hint of stocking, a dangerously deep open neckline, not the most daring of fashion statements unless they make an appearance at one of the places you wouldn't expect to see them, the workplace. I decided to play 'take your avy to work' day and file a report on some looks that border on the risqué, making Monday mornings at the office something to look forward to.

 

Inspired by the Nyu Debut Peplum skirt, I put together a proper look complete with stockings and stylish but practical heels, Pow Pumps from LeLutka, and then added the unexpected Cowl Bodysuit by Epoque. The Pantone Satchel, the perfect size to hold important papers, also from Epoque and the flowery Vera accessories from Donna Flora, add polish to this monochromatic outfit. Hair tossed up in a tidy knot complete with loose pieces the frame the face and  back of the neck add the final dimension to this 'mix business with pleasure' makeover.

 

Finding a way to make covered up professional wear sexy is a snap with this ISON Shift Blazer Dress, it has beautiful clean edges and nice details like the double rows of buttons and flat pocket flaps. A feminine silk blouse like this classic one from Shai, gives the impression of softly billowing sleeves and a bow tied neckline. I carried the tone of the blouse into the over the knee Jazz boots from Maitreya, in nude, and then filled in the space between with a tease of thigh high lace topped stockings from Blowpop, still one of the sexiest collections of well made hosiery you can find.

 

Next I went for the more obvious approach, a sexy suit, this one from Paper Couture Fall 2008, is an effective argument for well made non-mesh clothing, the hand painted subtle pattern in the rich grape color, even the use of a system skirt for shape, sans shirt, becomes daring. By adding the corset style Traveler Belt by Ingenue, and some soft suede boots the look is elevated. Flashes of gold jewelry, like the Aviary Claw Bracelet from ISON, and an 'Entangled' collection of pieces from talented (and fellow OYT Blogger) Caelyn Hancroft, her line of Cae accessories will be available soon, complete this outfit.

I'd love to stay and tell you more about my office antics, but I have an important meeting (see shopping trip) to get to. See you around the water cooler!

Prepare for Takeoff...

...and then put on a new pair of shoes, and then take off that pair and put on another. You get the idea?

Attention Shoe Lovers, this is Anessa your in-flight hostess speaking, a few notes before takeoff today. Please ensure that all lag causing scripts and excess prims have been removed before takeoff, all bulky sculpted items should be stowed in your overhead compartments, over-sized prims must be checked baggage. At this time I can inform you that the inflight movie will be The Devil Wears Prada, and we will be serving alcohol once the pilot turns off the seatbelt sign. In the meantime please ensure that you are buckled into your assigned seats and be prepared for teleportation delays due to high avatar numbers on the Shoe Fair sims. I thank you for flying Shoetopia Airlines, enjoy your shopping!

I am so pleased to be a blogger once again for the 2011 Shoe Fair. Over the next few days I plan to wisk you away around the Fair in search of great new shoes, hidden treasures, and enough stamps to fill up those empty passports! For our first journey we will be visiting the Republic of Betty Doyle, otherwise known as INGENUE. Ingenue has two beautiful new styles released at this years Shoe Fair, one of which is Tallula. The Tallula Heels are a pretty and practical pump, effortless and easy to wear in a gorgeous variety of well chosen shades. If you are familiar with INGENUE's previous footwear releases and clothing you can be assured of beautiful quality and smart style.

I urge you to include INGENUE on your destination list at the Fair this year, it can be found on the Iridium Sim. The weather is beautiful, and the shoes are even better!

Ingenue is on a roll!

Betty Doyle, even with a ten month old baby, is kicking some serious ass lately, sending out new releases like a house on fire.  Hopefully, no one's house is actually on fire, but if it, save these shoes and screw everything else!

Ingenue's latest release is Dianthus, another pair of flats with a pointed toe and a darling little ruffle.  If you have to choose just one word, it's spectacular.

They're available in fifteen different colours at L$225 each, or the fatpack is L$2100.  So worth it.

Also worn is Ingenue's Leslie pants in Cherry, Artilleri's Carlita top in Black, Truth's Amanda hair in Cocoa, Dutch Touch's Sjors iLinerWine in Caramel, and Glow's DeLyn B&W Earrings.  Poses are by LAP.

The Beautiful Ingenue, Part Two

Ingenue has made shoes!  There are just not enough vintage stores on the grid, and ones that make vintage shoes?  Forget about it.  Luckily for us, the designers who do make vintage wear are really, really good at it.

Betty Doyle recently released two pairs of pumps, and now flats!  Unfortunately, I finished this photo before I found out about the flats, but I'm sure I'll be buying the fatpack and wearing out the virtual leather before long. 

Both sets of pumps come in a bajillionty colours, and there are endless package deals you can buy.  For example, you can buy the extra-fat pack (or as Autumn calls it, the Fat But Still Pretty Pack), packages of a colour theme, like pastels or brights, or even three-packs.  I love choices, and Ingenue does not disappoint.

These shoes are really well done.  The textures are fantastic, and the prim work is really good.  And they're super cute to wear!  They include a resizeable script as well, which is good because I actually did have to resize them a little bit.

Anyhow, go get them.  They don't disappoint.  Teleport to Ingenue.

Additional items worn:

Ingenue - Edie sweater

Ingenue - Memo skirt

LeLutka - Purse

Fri.day - Cameron Hair

Dutch Touch - Gwen skin

Paper Couture - Chandy earrings

StyleCard: NX Kurvy Pumps & T-Straps

Oh, how I love my Retro. The new Kurvy Pumps from Nardya Rousselot's Nardcotix, NX, instantly give off a super sexy retro vibe. In my favorite color, red, it's easy to see why. Satiny red shoes wrapped in black trim and bow accents that have a sweet rounded toe and a perfectly sculpted heel. Whether you favour the pump version or the more elaborate T-Strap Mary Janes, the Kurvy shoes are an instant classic!


I paired mine with the recent releases from Ingenue, the Secretary Skirt in Ebon and Stenno Blouse in Ruby. The Secretary skirt can be worn a number of ways, with or without the peplum attachments (there are 2 options), a fantastic high waisted pencil skirt. The Stenno Blouse is a perfect partner to the skirt, I love the sculpted cuffs that are perfectly shaped, and the pretty prim collar.

Look for these Kurvy Shoes at Nardcotix.
