Lovely Linda

Whatever your style, most shoe lovers can appreciate the elegance of an ultra thin stiletto heel. Donna Flora continues her beautiful shoe collection with the very elegant Linda, available in beautiful basic colors, chiffon inspired shades and soft watercolors. I am a confessed fan of bows and buckles, and here the whimsical over sized bows can be worn or removed depending on your preference. The included HUD to match skin tones is fairly easy to use, and boasts a great selection of predetermined skin shades.

Better Late...

So there I was, getting ready for Shoe Fair 2011, and I somehow managed to back-burner a few posts that I had been working on. Here is one of them, long overdue, for the fantastic Ariadne Heels from SLink. Besides the obviously unique shape and texturing, these heels are beautifully made and perfect for inspiring an outfit.

I am also wearing the recently released PXL Gaia Skin, my new 'go to' favorite. I love the sweet lips, soft brows, and overall young looking face. I threw in a few more interesting clothing items and accessories to finish my look, and the hair from bOON, a loose high bun hairpiece completes this almost forgotten post.

SLurls and stuff are in the credits, be sure and look for the SLink Ariadne Heels by Siddean Monroe, I may be late, but these shoes are worth a closer look!

Last Kick at The Can

Shoe Fair 2011 is almost gone, but before it fades gracefully into history there is still time for a little more shoe-ness. It would be sad indeed if you didn't make your way over to visit the booth of Robin Sojourner and Kick the Can. These newly released Saddle Shoes are pretty much the bees knees, and they are perfect dancing shoes to grab before the weekend.

Socks on or off, it doesn't matter, just grab a pair (or 5) of these retro delights. They come in a few great color variations, but it was traditional black and white for me, the classic rosy tan soles are a great touch. 'Sock Hop' on over to the Iridium Sim at the Shoe Fair before it closes, and check out the latest from Kick the Can!

p.s. As is often the case with frequent travel, a few great pairs of shoes were lost with some luggage... I will be sure to share them as soon as I can, with links to the original store locations. Thanks for reading!

Precious Metals

Of the hundreds of shoes in my inventory I would estimate 5% or less are flats. I like flats, in real life I wear them all the time, but in SL I have always been more attracted to styles that I couldn't walk around in for more than 20 minutes if they were real. When some special flats find their way into my hands, I am quick to fall in love with the casual playfulness or sweet details.

The Geological Flats from Ladies Who Lunch by Faint Paulse, have a bit of sparkle, a delicate ruffle and an overall metallic shine that makes them a great find at Shoe Fair 2011. Though the texture is that of leafed fine metals, it is also reminiscent of satin which gives them a more romantic and upscale feeling. With the customization HUD you can select a metal tone for the ruffles and seams, and even select gemstones to create a perfect look for you.

Shoe Fair 2011 is almost at its end, be sure and visit Ladies Who Lunch on the Iridium Sim for a look at some flats that might just be your new favorites.

It's About the Enkythings

Shoe Fair 2011 isn't over yet! You still have plenty of time to visit the quad of sims and seek out some beautiful new footwear.

Another great release from Enktan Gully of Enkythings, one of my favorite shoe designers who successfully transitioned from beautiful shoes made from traditional prims to the now fabulous sculpted pumps, Talyna.

For this classic pump with a black sole Enkythings provides a rich palette of jewel tones and metal inspired shades. The black pair are pretty much a must have item - and you might just fall in love with a few more of these beautiful shades.

When you get to the Fair, you will find Enkythings located on the Ruthenium Sim. Do not miss your chance to find some beautiful shoes before the Fair ends!
