NIVEN - Green Lizard Stilettos

Scarlett Niven of NiVEN sent me over her latest Green Lizard ensemble and I just love the color and the scaly texture. As with most of the outfits available from NiVEN, a matching pair of shoes comes with your purchase, which is every girls dream. Even if you don't wear the shoes with the outfit, what a great accessory to add to your inventory. Along with the Green Lizard Stilettos, I threw on the top from the outfit and grabbed the clutch for a more casual look with that green pop. Simple and clean in design, and vibrant in color, these will be shoes I pair up with other outfits often. Visit NiVEN InWorld.

StyleCard: DeLa Lulu

Kuranosuke Kamachi is on a roll, her ever growing line of shoes and clothing never fail to impress. Today marks the opening of her own sim, and so I felt it appropriate to share a little more of what I love about DeLa. The Lulu dress and boots are full of color, texture and shape, and oh yes, bows! This sculpted mini-dress has a delicious bubble of a skirt, and a fun dimensional bow on the chest. The texture is of a multi-colour flecked wool knit, and so it lends itself well to a great pair of tights worn underneath, these are the tintable freebies from VG Republic (G.L.A.M.).

The Lulu boots are a fun leg-warmer inspired pair, all slouchy and shapely, and yes a couple more bows here for good measure (an un-bowed version is included in the pack). I like the black sole and heel, really completes the look. As for my accessories, the color change fabulousness from Fresh Baked Goods is perfect here. Earrings are 'aya V' and the hair is ETD, and yes get to that sale!

Visit DeLa at it's new home sim opening today, and take in the wonderful Fashion Show presented by Timeless Agency that kicks off at 10 am SLT!

StyleCard: Redgrave & PC

Birds of a feather flock together, and shoes of a feather are just plain fabulous. How timely the release from Redgrave of these Feather Heels at the exact moment that Paper Couture launched it's aviary themed Fall 2008 collection. This Night Heron Dress somehow eluded me on my first visit to PC, but as soon as I saw it I knew just what shoes I would wear with this sweet feathered frock.

Viola Leigh does it again, and this time with a bit of sparkle as a bright gold chain and 'V' signature charm adorn the feathery ankle. The heels come in a nice assortment of shades and they are an elegantly shaped shoe that combines sculpted and traditional prims seamlessly. My accessories are also from Redgrave, the Hanging Chain set which includes earrings, rings for each hand and a necklace (not worn here). The hair is ETD, and the price is irresistible with the current sale going on.

If you have plans to pick up some of the new Paper Couture be sure and also pay a visit to Redgrave for some of these heels, after all, Holiday party season is right around the corner!

StyleCard: J's Boots

Well boot season has officially begun, and despite the fact that I am more often in stilettos, it's hard not to fall for these amazing boots from J's. The 'real toes' of the summer have made their way into some funky laced up boots. The J's Real Toe 2-Way Boots are JB Gazov's most recent release, and they can be worn a variety of ways, all of which are pretty irresistible. Not only do these come with the adorable prim toes that can be tinted to match your skin, you can select from an assortment of toenail polish options too, but these clever boots do double duty with a closed version of the boot, and a version without the prim toes if you are attached to showing off those sexy avatar feet instead.

I decided to go with a simple but stylish monochromatic look for this style, starting with Maitreya's Jade hair with color changing knit hat. The scarf also has a color change option and comes in 2 lengths from :sey. The Mirli sweater is from Maitreya, and it's open back is a nice compliment to the open toed boots. Some simple Armidi rolled capri jeans, some bangles from Armidi and Caroline's seal the deal.

And now for a little preview, these are the boots that every little cowgirl and cowgirl wannabe has to have. These J's Fringe Cowgirl Boots are soon to be released, and I really love these... moving flexi fringes that echo your every move, line dancing or otherwise, too adorable! I am so digging with my new vintage jeans from Muism, and this asymmetric and totally wonderful jacket from M&R Cupcakes. Hair/Hat is ETD on sale now! (click on images to enlarge)

Be sure and visit J's soon!

StyleCard: REDGRAVE, Oh My!

REDGRAVE has always been a favorite of mine for the quality and the cohesiveness of their lines of clothing, skins and footwear. Recently I was contacted by Viola Leigh, the creator of the latest series of footwear under the REDGRAVE label, and have been lucky enough to see the new offerings close-up. The result, 4 great new styles and 4 StyleCards for me! (click on images to enlarge)

The first of these new shoes is actually referred to as a the Winter Boot (shown in orange), but it's one sexy combo of an open toed pump and a knit and buttoned upper portion. The cozy upper with its slouchy appearance and 3 oversized buttons actually comes with part attached to the shoe and the topper as a separate attachment. I paired these with a sexy Jersey Dress from League, which I wasn't nuts about when someone suggested I buy it, but completely love on my av. The Mirai Fuka Hat and Hair are just too cute and I tossed in my Lassie lunchbox from Illuminaire which I am not certain is still available... but you get the idea.

Next in line is the hot little sandal called the Glamour Heels (here in blue). This is the perfect little shoe for a hot club look, and comes in 2 packs featuring the gold and silver variations in the color you choose, gotta love that kind of thinking. I loved wearing mine with the *M*A*ii*K*I* leggings in yellow and this great tank from Kenzie&Co. The chunky necklace and bracelet from ICoN round out my dance floor ready look.

I cannot hide my love of leopard print, and these Wildcat Heels sure feed that desire. I choose the gold variation here, but I adore the pink and blue versions too. Sexy open toes, double wrapped ankles and the sleek metallic gold heel make these a favorite. Worn with, what I think is a first for me on the blog, a dress from PIN UP Dolls, which is my own creation (as my 'business' avatar Pin Upshaw). I am not really into blogging my own stuff but made an exception here because I loved the way the shoes worked with my 'Leopard Love' cocktail dress. My accessories are a great necklace and earrings set from Caroline's. Hair is Armidi.


Last on the list, and certainly not least, the Patent Leather Heels, which come in super shiny patents and croc embossed versions too. These are a great looking shoe, I am a fan of the white contrasting trim and ties, and the unique style of a straight laced look with a sexy open toe. Here the black croc version is paired with a mash-up of items including a Last Call top worn with the cute newness of a pencil skirt from Fetch Alternative. A simple beaded necklace from Ume Mode and the sexy Detour hair rounded out this last style of the series.

I fine crop of footwear from REDGRAVE, and all very reasonably priced. Please visit the store to see these, and the full color range, close-up.

Rigger from JCS

Following on from the recent Axion release, Eponymous Trenchmouth of Jeepers Creepers has updated an older boot in his range with the renewed version of the Rigger boot.



This Boot is a more heavy duty workboot style, and it comes with the same resizing option as available in the Axion and other recent JCS releases.


My personal favorite was the Black Cherry version, as they were the version in which I could see the smooth texture in all its glory. They were also a nice match to these Shai pants I was wearing as well, so I didn't even need to change.


The range of colours is comprised of Black, Black Cherry, Brown, Desert Camo, Field Camo and also a work boot option, which has a light tread instead of black. I was almost tempted to go find a brickie's labourer outfit for these boots, but time was against me in that quest although if I ever stumble across one, I will wear one with these boots for sure. All in all another release that increases once again the versatile JCS range and a welcome addition to any mans shoe collection.
