Fall into the Glitter

Earlier this week, Siddean Munro of SLink released the absolutely gorgeous Glitter Peeptoe pumps. There really seems to be a vintage trend going on right now in the SL fashion community and these pumps are the perfect finishing touch. They are sparkly and feminine and just oh so cute. These shoes are mesh which means you need to be in a viewer that supports mesh in order to view them properly. They are available in eleven colors as well as a fatpack. The individual colors include two bow color options - matching and black - but the fatpack allows for complete customization by allowing you to mix and match all eleven colors. HUDs are included for resize/skin matching/nail color, nail tinting, size tweaking and the fatpack includes a HUD for bow and shoe texture changing.



I love these shoes so much. Before you try to match your skin tone to these shoes, you definitely will want to check out Siddean's tutorial video on how to quickly and easily get a perfect match. The video was easy to follow along with and I was able to get a really good match on my skin. Obviously you can't expect the shading and highlighting of the skin and foot to be identical, but using the blender layers that are included with the shoes really helps with this. The tinting was the quick part for me thanks to the video, but getting the correct sizing took me awhile. As you can see, a good fit is attainable with time and patience - and these shoes are totally worth that.

Visit SLink for a demo of the Glitter Peeptoes and pick up a pair, or fatpack, for yourself.

Twice as Nice

Tangerine dreams and leopard printed maryjanes were the perfect way to start my weekend. A stop into Kitties Lair netted me quite a thrill as I quickly discovered Babette Ultsch had recently released 2 new styles. Previously we have reviewed her Peep Toed Pumps and Venice Boots... these are just another example of what she does so well - cute sexy shoes, perfectly textured.

These Francine Mary-Janes are yummy, I love the amazing chunk heel and the beautiful shine textures as only Babette can do, but I am a sucker for animal prints and the leopard are just so great - I adore the little ties with metal accents at the ends. A nice escape from the typical buckled maryjanes.

The Peep Toed Mules Kewt! as she calls them certainly are that, nice moderate platform mules with metallic soles in gold and silver - the creamsicle colored orange where my must have... but they are all pretty fantastic as you can see in the store display shot below.

Add Kitties Lair to your weekend shopping list, demos in store - grab some!

Athena

Greek mythology tells us that Athena was the goddess of wisdom, war, the arts, industry, justice and skill. It is a fitting name then for the latest creation of Tesla Miles, a creator who continues to excel at making products of high quality, ingenuity and in my opinion some of the most unique footwear around. She is also fiercely committed to fighting against content theft/copybot use and I certainly think Tesla is a talented little shoemaker. I just had no idea she had something this darn sexy up her sleeve.

The Athena combines all the stunning quality of her previously released Ziggy Boots, which were a great success and one of the treasures of my footwear wardrobe, with stiletto height and open toes. They are really well textured with a lighter looking fabric and happily for the non stick-legged amongst us they come equipped with scripted resizable parts. I love the 5 available color combos, something for everyone - and quite possible a need to have them all!

Visit Tesla soon and get the Athena open toed stiletto ankle boot!

Also wearing; Minnu Skin, Abyss Hair, Thimbles Dress, Japancakes Petal Scarf, TaP (Fleur) Gloves, Calla Pearl Wrap Bracelet & FBG (Fresh Baked Goods) Bangle, Earrings by Second Mirage.

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.

Also wearing; PXL Skin, Detour Hair, 'heart' Cupcakes Dress, Paper Couture Earrings, Earthtones Bracelet.

Perfect Peeps

Don't you love the unexpected? Today the unexpected came in the form of these fabulous Peep Toed Heels from Babette Ultsch of Kitties Lair. I really like the chunky heel and moderate platform. The buckle detail is amazingly well done, and the variety of colors and textures is wide enough to accommodate many tastes. I especially love the Vintage Silver, the metallic is so perfect on these things... Babette really works well with metallics in clothing and footwear.

Get some of these great Peep Toed Heels at Kitties Lair.
