StyleCard: DETOUR & Zooby's

I have been walking around in the new Daywalker Sneakers from DETOUR for a couple days and trying to put together the perfect outfit to wear with them. Well, last night the most wonderful accessory landed in my lap courtesy of Bryston Vanvleck of 3B Designs and the incredibly talented Carrie Tatsu of Zooby's. My sweet little puppy, BeeBee, arrived in the most amazing Pet Carrier, 'The Z Bag'.


No fashionista can afford to miss out on this one, it comes with a complete array of scripted changeable components; 10 unique bag fabrics (3 shown here), metals, accessories such as key tags, buttons and a toy bone for doggy are all optional and modifiable. And since you can mix and match all the parts the possibilities are limitless. The bag does everything and the puppy is delicious with it's cute little face peeking up at you, typical of the Zooby's quality we are used too... but truly something special. I lurv it sooo much, and I had never even considered pet ownership in SL.


Back to the shoes, the DETOUR Daywalker Sneakers are a great casual sneaker in white and suede combos, a nice assortment of muted of the moment colours like cranberry and taupe and an 'all color' pair with the bonus shade. I matched them up with some great jeans from /artilleri/, the sweater and scarf set from Snatch which is so versatile. Accessories (aside from little BeeBee) include; a belt from Orchid Dreams, Mahjong Bracelet from Fresh Baked Goods, and some Black Bangles from Caroline's. Hair is the jumbo ponytail deal called Aina from Mirai Style.

Be sure and visit Zooby's for a little friend of your own, and DETOUR to get some sneaks to take it for a walk in the park!

The Stuff; Redgrave Skin, Mirai Hair, Sn@tch Sweater Set with Scarf, /artilleri/ Jeans, Accessories by Orchid Dreams, Fresh Baked Goods and Carolines.

StyleCard: DETOUR & The City

A couple great releases from DETOUR, but rather than hit you with a one-two punch I thought it might be best to present them separately because they are vastly different shoes. First up, because I am a girl who loves her heels... the Diamond T-Strap Pumps. And I promise that these are real diamonds, I had them checked! Seriously though, I just love a nice T-Strap shoe and there are not that many out there. As always DETOUR offers us a colour selection and a touch scripted 'all color' pair that gives a bonus color. A great deal if you are a fan of the shoe.

To sparkle alongside the diamonds I scooped up Mimikri's latest release Star/Sequin Top & Dress in gold and then went with a great hanging strap clutch from Baiastice, a favorite Birthday gift from my friend Fann, that features a tiny black shoe on the closure - a shoe love must have! Hair is Jolie Femme, I just love the soft texture, reminds me of SJ Parker in Sex & the City. A bit of glamour, anyone want a cosmopolitan?

Visit DETOUR and take a look.

The Stuff; Redgrave Skin, Jolie Femme Hair, Mimikri Dress, Baiastice Purse & DETOUR Shoes.

The Tease, The Tesla.

Only been forever since I got an exclusive from a favorite shoe designer to share with the 'On Your Toes' readers. Tesla came through for me in a big way by hand delivering me a preview copy of the the new Hylda Boots. As with most teasers, I will let the pictures do the talking, but I could not go without saying that I love these ankle boots. They can go high style or completely casual, the metal details are really great, and I am sure Tesla plans on delivering a few more color options in these, so there will be even more to get excited about by the middle of this week... the expected release date. Another bit of amazing trivia on these is that these are the first pair of shoes from Tesla that are based on a pair she actually owns, but the textures are all hand done, without photosourcing, and the light is baked in using a 3-D application.


Watch the blog for updates on the release, or shop at Tesla today.


Wearing; Redgrave Skin, MMS Hair, ICoN Accessories, Cachet Pants & Tesla Hylda Boots.

StyleCard: NONKO & More

Shape. Details. Uniqueness. Things that make a shoe stand out. With a shoe wardrobe of more than 500 pairs, yeah, more than... it takes something special to catch my eye and make me plunk down some Lalas. The hot trend for all things 'Alice in Wonderland' seems to have finally hit the feet, and in a fantastically wearable way. You don't have to do a head to toe look, complete with 'Mad Hatter' and Lolita style dress to work a bit of the old Lewis Carroll charm into your wardrobe. These NONKO Ballerina heels are delightfully ribboned and feature vintage illustrations of Alice as created by different artists. My favorite was the sweet faced Alice of the 'unmoral' pair.

To complete the look I went for some classic elegance with modern touches. The blouse from Cachet has wonderful sculpted sleeves and great seaming, tucked into a high waisted pencil skirt from INGENUE. Black pearl wrapped bracelet from Encore, black beaded choker from Kraftika, a sweet small purse from MM Luxe (Viva La Glam) and my Kingsgate engagement ring add to the style. Hair... yes, ::69:: again -just can't get enough!

Look for the sweet shoes at NONKO.

The stuff; Redgrave Skin, ::69:: Hair, Cachet Blouse, INGENUE Skirt, MM Luxe Bag, Accessories by Encore, Kraftika and Kingsgate.
