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.

Axion shoes from Jeepers Creepers


The latest release from Jeepers Creepers, the Axxion boots are in essence, some of the more versatile shoes to emerge from Eponymous Trenchmouth to date. Upon getting these shoes, I tried the blue pair on with the outfit I had on, and I was so impressed with how they matched to what I had on already, I immediately cammed them just like the shoe fiend I am, relishing in the details.

As we come to expect with every pair of JCS shoes, the texturing is first rate and in some ways these boots remind me of a laceup pair of Oslos, although the buckle and strap almost gives me allusions to the Nikes that were popular in the 1990s, but in the instance, instead of being primed for the basketball courts, these boots are made for something more like trekking thru rugged terrain.
The detail on the leather parts of these shoes is totally amazing, featuring ultra realistic creases just like a pair of boots in RL would have. I totally scratch my head at how once again Eppy can come up with such realism in his shoes, and I urge you to take a look in world to see what I mean.
I played around with the different colours seeing what pants I had in inventory to match the various shades and of course I found these pants from Shai's Southern Comfort suit to be the perfect match for the Sand coloured boots. So even though these boots are more gritty and urban, the use of suit pants showed they can be more versatile than first impressions could lead to.

The Gray coloured pair, with its two tone grey and black leather, reminds me of the Air Jordan IX, I had to play basketball as a teenager. These are one of my favorites colours but they are also available in the Black, Blue, Sand, Olive and Brown. As always I recommend the fatpack just for versatility.

Edit: I have been informed by Eponymous that these shoes can also be used by women as well as men. Just click on them to get the resize script (which I overlooked to mention as the default size fit me perfectly) and set to the smallest setting to fit your av as needed.



Another item I would like to draw attention to is the new Prince Abioye ring from Alienbear Designs. This is the first ring for men from Alienbear, and I must say it is nicely detailed and features a huge diamond perfect to let people know you have style and class.

Dirt Road - Ruffled Sandal


So I have this long time friend, he's the perfect friend because among a long list of his personal qualities he also loves to give presents to his pals....did I mention that one of his favorite things to give is shoes? I know, it's unbelievable! His girlfriend is one of the luckiest girls in SL. Anyways, Zach Larsen decided that it was about time to take his shoe interest to a new level, and that meant he started dabbling at creating shoes. I'm happy to say that he's done marvelous and the Ruffled Sandal I'm wearing above is just one of his first creations. So take a look on the new kid on the block. Visit Dirt Road at the Milk Wood Market at Cuckoo Down In World.

RK:1 Streetwear Show 2 pm SLT Today!


An event very close to my heart will be taking place today, in honor of the 1st Anniversary of Runway Kidz, a group of models, both new and experienced, in Second Life that have joined together to form a support network for one another. The modeling industry in SL is not just competitive, but there are models coming in and going out of the industry at a fast paced rate. The group was created to have a place where we can work together to support one another with encouragement, be a part of a team of those who can understand what its like to walk runways, print/store ads, and other fashion events, and to distribute information concerning contests, competitions, agency casting calls, events, parties and any other situations that a model may be needed.


The Event Kicks off with a show that I have produced featuring some of the best of Streetwear and Urbanwear from all perspectives in Second Life. Today's Show features the amazing designs of : Bijou, Ju Ju’s Closet, WMD (Weird Monkey), /artilleri/ and Savvy Avvy. Here is a sneak peek at the Runway and Show Venue which I built with my own little shoe blogging hands.


The Stuff...I am wearing a little bit of Urban Grunge from JuJu's Closet that will be featured on the runway today, including the great Skulls CHUX previously mentioned in this review.
