Truth: Nodmad Boots

Ok, I know I know..these boots have been popping up on lots of blogs and what-not. But just look at them, they are, in my opinion, fab. The nice foot shape coupled with the thick upper ankle, I just had to declare my own love. That's all...you know where to get them. :) Truth InWorld and OnLine.

Rumor Mill

I don't know much, and I can promise you I am doing everything I can to get the inside scoop for the 'On Your Toes' faithful. But I will share with you what I have so far... because if it is true, it might very well change footwear in SL forever.

We are all familiar with the complete FAIL of the avatar foot, I mean it is just not sexy no matter how sexy a shoe is, there are those wacky looking Fred Flintstone, lump of clay dealies on the end of your lovely curvaceous legs. So here's the rumor as it hit me... "the designer who brought sculpted shoes to SL is about to up the ante...to change the game with the sexiest foot in shoe".

Is it possible that very soon what is 'On My Toes' will be not just toes... but full on feet?

3-Ways and the 'F Word'

Now that I have your attention, we can talk about what is really going on here. Firstly, Miss Tesla Miles has surfaced, and she has brought shoes with her. TESLA will soon be releasing the High Oxfords, and for a girl who has been wearing so many boots lately, I am pleased to review some shoes again. The Oxfords are a great looking shoe too, with a moderate platform, chunky heel and lace-up upper. These multi-tonal shoes are almost chameleon-like in their ability to work with a variety of items in your wardrobe. And they also lend themselves to multiple styles of dressing. I am illustrating 3 unique looks; Classic, Casual & Club Wear... 3 ways, get it? (click images to see larger size.)

With 12 amazing pairs on the menu; Gold, Bronze, Berry, Black, Blue, Chocolate, Jade, Olive, Purple, Scarlet, Snow and Teal, you might just be better off using the F word... Fatpack. I don't throw that word around lightly, but if this is a style of shoe that appeals to you I do not see how you can go wrong. Lovers of slightly metallic colors and hand tooled leather details should be in heaven by the weekend... Tesla's scheduled release for these cuties.


Please visit TESLA and look for the High Oxfords.

Gifted

Happy to report a couple of early holiday gifts have come my way, including these adorable Xmas Rain Boots from UBU (for all your Christmas mud puddle jumping needs) and this super comfy Down Jacket from ENDEAVOR. OK the jacket isn't footwear, but I had to wear something with my boots, right?


You can never go wrong with gift cards, but... there is something to be said for picking things out yourself and showing someone you care. Hope this gives you a couple new ideas for things to put under the tree. More to come :)

Shop UBU (Urban Bomb Unit) here.

StyleCard: COCO

Occasionally I do bonehead things, like the time I messaged COCO Creator Cocoro Lemon to inform her that there was a problem with her sculpties... only to discover the problem was because I had not yet updated my SL viewer. But as soon as I did, I was very impressed by the quality of her work, amazing little ski vests and dresses, I am really a big fan. When I saw the update indicating a footwear release, well, you know I had to run right over and grab a pair of COCO's Suede Booties in blue and the adorable BritGirl Yellow Plaid Suit I had been eyeing for a while.

The Booties are very well crafted and textured, lovely rich suede, and they come in a nice range of equally inviting shades. Nice rounded toes and an over sized buckle on the ankle, I really liked the pop of contrast piping on the edges for extra style. The suit itself can be worn all together as I have done here, or the layers can be worn separately. The prim collar and roll cuffs are, again, very nicely crafted. I added the just released hat/hair from Muism and the Saphyre Gem Ring (not visible) from Paper Couture for a little bit of sparkle.

Check out COCO, you won't regret it!
