LAST DAY for SHOETOPIA 2013 and {{BSD Design studio}}!

I apologize, Blogspot crashed on me and I lost ton posts, so I am reloading....

My hands are about to give out, so I hope I can make this post quick! BabyChampagne Sass of {{BSD Design studio}}, makes some of the most beautiful and fashion forward accessories on the grid. She created the most fabulously original shoes for SHOETOPIA 2013. She is one talented and busy woman!

The first pair from {{BSD Design studio}} are these gorgeous Supermodel Heels:

I know the shoes look a little off. I was having major viewer issues and the stunning mesh detail was not rezzing for me. I had my LOD maxed too! I wanted to show more versions of the shoes as well. After several relogs, I just gave up. I hope it was just due to the holiday weekend or I will have a serious problem (i.e, my video card). I hope BabyChampagne Sass accepts my sincere apologies. Anyway, these shoes are really pure love with their design. They come in a ton of gorgeous colors (dual tone and solids). As far as skin matching goes, they do not have skin matching database. However, the presets on the HUD will fit just about any skin. It is really incredible. I managed to match these shoes to several different skins in a matter of seconds!

The next pair from {{BSD Design studio}}, are the Surreal Shoes: 

These Surreal Shoes have such brilliant design. I love the antler trim. If you are looking for a statement shoe, {{BSD Design studio}} is the best place to look. BabyChampagne has definitely won me over!

With that said, here are LMs and Credits:

LAST DAY for SHOETOPIA 2013 and LaRoo Shoes!

I apologize, Blogspot crashed on me and I lost ton posts, so I am reloading....

Next on my list are LaRoo Shoes. It has been awhile since I tried LaRoo shoes. I have no idea why, because they are really amazing! These all mesh shoes are beautifully made and have the best skin matching system yet! The match is beyond perfect, which really impressed me. LaRoo released three new styles for SHOETOPIA 2013, which were named after the Kardashian sisters (I found that amusing) - Kim, Khloe and Kourtney. Unfortunately, I accidentally screwed-up one of  Kourtney booties and did not make a backup copy (cringes). Sorry Kourtney! So, I only have two pairs to show you.

The first pair, are these gorgeous Khloe Pumps:

These pumps are so beautiful! I love the sueded leather and metal toe, which are adorned with tiny metal rivets. I need them in RL! The leather is available in 10 brilliant colors, which can be changed via HUD. The metal toe comes in a choice of 3 metals (gold, silver and black) and is also changed via HUD. I mentioned before that LaRoo created the best skin matching system to date (as least in my opinion). The system is called 'Easy Match' and has every skin creator you can imagine. All the skin lines and tones are up-to-date as well! They even have just recently released specialty tones! By recent, I mean like yesterday! 

Here are Laroo's Kim Pumps:

The Kim Pumps are so cute and sassy. I really adore the T-strap and sheer lining. These shoes, like Khloe Pumps, are so wonderfully textured and rendered. Kim is available in 10 stunning colors and uses the 'Easy Match' system via HUD!

I can not begin to tell you just how impressed I am by LaRoo shoes. So, please demo these ASAP!

N-core and Last Day for Shoetopia

I apologize, Blogspot crashed on me and I lost ton posts, so I am reloading....

Wow! Claire Messenger of N-core went all out for SHOETOPIA 2013. She created three fabulous new mesh shoes. It is almost impossible to pick a favorite! Anyway, I will try to keep this a brief as possible, since I had to rewrite this post again. Blogspot crashed on me and did not savie this post. If you happen to be reading this post after SHOETOPIA has ended, the shoes will be available in N-core Mainstore.

The first set of shoes that I am gong to show you, are N-core's new DESIRE heels:

These sexy strappy and studded heels are STUNNING! If you are familiar with N-core's shoes, then you know that you can change the color of the different parts of the shoe via their HUD - Shoe (16 color choices if you buy the fatpack), Soul (gold, black, bronze & red), Inner (gold, silver & black), Logo (gold, black, silver & red) and Metals (gold & silver). 

N-core also uses a 'Click and Match' skin matching system via HUD. By clicking the HUD, you access a huge a database with the skin tones from most of the skin designers on the grid. You just click the button with your favorite skin's tone and voila! Your feet match your skin! Due to different lighting, you may have to slightly tweak the color, which takes a second. This goes for all skin matching systems.

The second pair of shoes from N-core, are their GLANCE booties:

I think the GLANCE boots are my favorite out of the three! I love the yummy colors and textures. Claire makes some of of the most beautiful shoes on the grid. GLANCE comes in 15 colors and 5 dual tones (which are my personal fav). The parts are also fully customization via HUD - Shoe (20 color choices if you buy the fatpack), Soul (gold, black, bronze & red), Logo (gold, black, silver & red) and Metals (gold & silver) - and use the 'Click and Match' skin matching system. 

Last and certainly not least, are the VERTIGO heels:

VERTIGO is the perfect name for these super high platform stilettos! Talk about towering heights! How can you not love them? As I have mentioned before, the parts of the shoes are fully customization via HUD - Shoe (20 color choices if you buy the fatpack), Soul (gold, black, bronze & red), Logo (gold, black, silver & red), Inner (gold, silver & black) and Metals (gold & silver) - and use the 'Click and Match' skin matching system.

JUST DESIGN's My Feet at SHOETOPIA

I apologize, Blogspot crashed on me and I lost ton posts, so I am reloading....

JUST DESIGN is the latest brand to bring us mesh bare feet! Davidfre Resident worked hard to create these beautiful and versatile mesh feet in time for SHOETOPIA 2013.

*left to right (Flat Feet Full Bare, Flat Feet EVO - Sock 1 and Flat Feet EVO - Sock 2)

He created Flat Feet and a Tip Toe version too! Both are made of rigged mesh and come in 5 standard sizes (xxs, xs, s, m, and l). You can see all the care that he put into these feet, by their extensive detailing and wonderful textures.

*left to right (Tip Toe Full Bare, Tip Toe EVO - Sock 2 and Tip Toe EVO - High Sock)

What makes these feet extra special, is the system that David created for them. It allows for tons of wear options. When you buy his feet, Flat or Tip Toe, you will receive two sets - FULL and EVO - and a coordinating HUD for each of them. Confused? Well, here is how it works:

• FULL: The Full Feet have a blending zone around the ankle to remove any seams and are ideal if you want to have perfect bare legs.
• EVO: The EVO Feet have a neat cut without any blending zone, because they give you an option for wearing tights, socks or stockings. The EVO HUD includes: 2 sock options, tights (high socks) and stockings. There are 7 different fabric colors on the HUD for the socks and 5 colors for the stockings. There are also several tattoo layers for the stockings as well. David will be creating more options and designs for the tights/socks/stockings for future releases. 
• See the above images for examples *

Skin matching is also a breeze with these feet! David created a PefectSkin skin tone matching system. By clicking his HUD, you access a huge a database with the skin tones from most of the skin designers on the grid. You just click the button with your favorite skin's tone and voila! Your feet match your skin! Due to different lighting, you may have to slightly tweak the color, which takes a second. This goes for all skin matching systems.

Please do yourself and favor and check these out! If you miss SHOETOPIA, they will be available in the JUST DESIGN mainstore. 

Btw, one of my favorite jewelry designers, Caelan Hancroft, created these gorgeous Bali Anklet's for the SHOETOPIA Gachas:

These anklet's were made to be worn with the Gos bare feet, but with slight modding, they will work with just about any feet. I am wearing the anklet with the JUST DESIGN Tip Toe Feet and it looks great! Make sure you try your luck. All the stones are brilliant, so there is no way to lose!

More SLINK at SHOETOPIA 2013

As promised, I will devote this next section to all the fabulous Slink SHOETOPIA event exclusives. It is so hard to pick a favorite, since each shoe/boot is so exquisitely rendered. Please keep in mind, that all of the shoes I am about to show you, must be worn with Slink's 'AvEnhance Feet High'. For more info regarding the 'AvEnhance Feet High', please refer to my previous post here: Slink at SHOETOPIA 2013
I guess I will starts with Siddean's Mesh Demi Boots!

I absolutely adore this suede boots! They are so sexy! I love the crisscross shape going up the calf, the flash of skin around the ankle and around the inner arch of the foot. These boots also have two wear options. You can wear them with the pointy metal toe cap or open toed. There is a HUD that will let you switch between the too. Also, as previously mentioned, these boots were created to be worn with Slink's 'AvEnhance Feet High'. The Slink Demi Boots are available in 6 brilliant colors (black, chocolate, tan, grey, white and red). The blush tone (which is the first boot in the above pic), is an event exclusive (I am almost positive) with proceeds going to Souls4Shoes. 

These Hera Wrap Shoes are AMAZING! The wrap around was so artfully rendered, making for one beautiful heel. Once again, these are also to be worn with Slink's 'AvEnhance Feet High'. Hera comes in 6 wonderful colors too (black, red, silver, gold, bronze and blue).

Last, but not least, are these awesome Priscilla Plateau Heels. I tend to gravitate toward shoes with a bit a platform heel, which makes these another ideal shoe for me. I am also quite keen on the peep toes and ankle straps. These are definitely statement shoes that every girl should have. Well, to be honest, you should have all the shoes I just mentioned. LOL. Once again, with the risk repeating myself, the Priscilla Plateau Heels are to be worn with Slink's 'AvEnhance Feet High'.They also come in a choice of 6 colors (black, chocolate, teal, red, ruby and white).

So, with that said, please make sure get to SHOETOPIA 2013 before it is over. These new Slink shoes are a definite must see and DEMO. Siddean Munro did such an amazing job. Please buy lots of shoes and help a great a cause (Souls4Shoes) as you shop! Here are your LMs and credits:

Slink at SHOETOPIA 2013!

I have been blogging for over 24 hours straight now, so please forgive me if am not making sense or forget to mention something. Please feel free to IM me inworld, if you have any further questions.
Ok! As most of you know, I am in love with  Slink's mesh feet an their Avatar Enhancement System. Not only does it makes skin matching a breeze with perfect tones, but so many beautiful shoes have been created to be worn with them. Suffice it say, I was thrilled to be able to blog, Siddean Munro's latest 'Slink AvEnhance Feet High'.

Slink's avEnhnace Feet High are made of rigged mesh and come in following sizes: XXS, XS, S, M, and L. This new Avatar Enhanced Feet has more easy to use options then ever! If for some reason reason your favorite skin maker doesn't make appliers, Siddean provided a list of the color codes that match the skin, which that you can enter in to her new 'OmniHUD V5'.
- You can find the color codes HERE: http://slinkstyle.com/appliers_non-applier-matches/
- Even if you can not find the correct color code, her new OmniHUD V5, is an easy to use, step by step HUD, which will ensure a perfect skin match. Please watch this video tutorial, which shows how it works: http://youtu.be/moOdWd5Co9s
- There is also a blog tutorial as well here: http://slinkstyle.com/omnihud-v5/
-And if that is not enough or for some reason you can't find you appliers, Siddean also provided a list of designers who create appliers and their color codes HERE: http://slinkstyle.com/appliers_non-applier-matches/

Siddean also included TONS of ankle blender tattoos in tones of red, yellow and gray.
It is quite apparent that Siddean put a lot of time and effort perfecting her system, which is a dream.These feet are glitch proof! She thought of literally everything, I could need to perfect my feet look! She also a provides a 'Slink AvEnhance Utilities - Feet HUD'. This allows you to switch between bare feet, stocking/ sock appliers and even tattoo appliers.

In the next post, I will show you the the latest shoes Siddean created for SHOETOPIA 2013, which can be worn with the 'Slink AvEnhance Feet High'!

Way Too Slow!

I think the slowest blogger of the year award goes to me! Well at least for the last few months. RL has been so crazy that I barely have time to get to get to my laptop. My most recent blogging pattern has been this: log, wait for massive inventory load, search for outfit, find pose, choose WL, snap pic and then fall asleep on my keyboard. I log in the next day and it goes like it: log, wait for even more massive inventory load, hold the first person who IMs me hostage via talking too much, find a pose, find saved WL, snap pic, open PS and fall sleep while editing. Then if all goes right, maybe I can write a post and upload my images to Flickr without a problem the next day. Anyway, I will stop complaining.

Since Thanksgiving is here, I just want to thank all the people who have put up with me. I know I can be a major pain in the ass, who talks way too much and takes forever to post. I think being a friend of mine should guarantee sainthood. LOL. 

 Now, I am running late as usual, so I will try to make the rest of this post brief. I have some amazing Collabor88 and Shoetopia 2013 exclusives to show you!

First, this current round of Collabor88 is freaking AMAZING! When I found out the theme was going to be Industrial and in  of gunmetal grey, copper orange, dark browns and shades of tan, I really was no quite sure what to expect. Let's face it, the last few rounds of Collabor88 have been incredible, so how much better can it get? Well, the Collabor88 designers have managed to outdo themselves again with the most fabulous event exclusives! One of my all time favorite Collabor88 pieces, is this month's Misaku Chest Piece from Gyorgyna Larnia of LaGyo. It is to die for! You can really see all the time and care she put into making it.The mesh detailing and textures are so lovely! Plus, it comes with the most gorgeous matching leather bangles and a headpiece too. Btw, the head piece and chest piece are both color change via HUD, which allows endless wear options!

Harry Hyx of ISON is another HUGE favorite of mine for both this month's Collabor88 and Shoetopia! He created this stunning bronze 'Leather Shape Corset' and black 'Side Ruffle Skirt'. I knew Harry would pull off the industrial theme with perfection, given his consistent use of both structured and minimalist designs. His looks are always sexy and feminine without going overboard. 

And his shoes! 

Side note: OMG! I am going to very busy the next few days, while attempting to finish blogging all these wonderful creations from Shoetopia 2013. This event is shoe lovers dream come true. Sophia Harlow (I almost wrote "Shoephia"... I know stupid) and Anessa Stine, as well as their hard working team, did a phenomenal job setting up my latest favorite event. For more info on Shoetopia, please go here: http://slshoetopia.blogspot.com/2013/06/shoetopia-2013.html

Harry created three wonderful SHOETOPIA executives. If you look at the above picture (from left to right), I will briefly give you some details regarding Harry Hyx's shoes. It is obvious that all 3 pairs they are all stunning and beautifully rendered, so I don't have to tell you that (even though I just did :p). The first pair of shoes from ISON, are the Metal Plate Booties. The name pretty much says it all. They are a pair of gorgeous leather leather ankle boots with a metal toe plate. They are available in 9 yummy colors too (eggplant, black, brown, white, gray, navy, sand, teal, and tan). The second and middle pair, are rightly called, Pointy Strap Heels. They are a super strappy, sexy and pointy pair of heels that were created to be worn with the Slink mesh feet (medium height). I seriously love shoes that are made to be worn with Slink's mesh feet. Slink's new avatar enhancement system, makes skin matching easy and perfect (although the new HUDs , which house all the different skin creator's skin tones in their database, are awesome too)! So that in itself makes these shoes fabulous, not to mention their exquisite design. Speaking of Slink, stay tuned for an upcoming post with their Shoetopia exclusives too! These heels are available in 8 different colors (black, brown, white, cobalt, gray, tan, sand and red). The third and last pair shoes, aka the Two Tone Wedge, are probably my favorite out of the three. I love the mix of the suede and leather. These were also created to be worn with Slink's mesh feet (medium height). These shoes come in a choice of 6 colors (black, brown, tan, sand, white and gray). So do yourself a favor and get your butt over SHOETOPIA before it ends on the 30th!. 

 I know this post is running long, but I have to mention and skin and hair that I am wearing in the first 2 pictures. The skin is a Chapter Four exclusive (or was..I think I got the dates screwed-up). If it is over, sincerely apologize about this and hope that it will be available in the mainstore. The skin is called Imogen was created by Nina Helix of Birdy Skins (Alchemy Skins too) and is so lovely. I think I am going to have to declare Nina as one of my top 4 skin creators. I had 3 top favorite skin designers, but now it is about 4 or 5. I can't really declare an absolute favorite skin, because I am a Libra with a Leo Moon and have a really hard time making decisions. Plus, I love different skins for different reasons. As I have mentioned in previous posts, I adore the hand drawn feel to Nina's skins. The slight imperfections, which make it a bit asymmetrical (not unlike our real life faces) give the skin a very unique and beautiful look. Anyway, if you have not tried Birdy Skins, you really should ASAP. 

Last, but definitely NOT least... The Hair! Kavar Cleanslate of Exile has been releasing so many great styles lately. I am in love with this latest style called, Run To You. Not only is this style gorgeous, but it comes more colors now! I know I mentioned this in a previous post, but each of  Exile's color HUDs are now house even more shade options. Kavar, as always, did an outstanding and thoughtful job creating even more perfect colors and styles to add his (as well my own) collection. Yay!

So, with that said, DEMO, DEMO, DEMO and BUY! Here are your LMs and Credits:

Glam Affair for Shoetopia 2013

SHOETOPIA is HERE! It is literally Shoe Heaven! Not only does the build look heavenly, but all those wonderful shoes.... Who could ask for more? There are so many new shoe designers, besides the shoe creators we all know and love. Read on, for more details about one of the most talked about break-out designers in regard to mesh feet!

The designers over at -Glam Affair- and ~Tableau Vivant~ have been creating (with perfection) almost everything that your avatar could ever need or want. Some of these things include: Skins (obviously), Appliers (Lolas, Slink Hands, Slink Feet & Phat Azz), Clothes, Shoes, Make-ups, Mesh Liners and Lashes, Hair (over at ~Tableau Vivant~) and Poses/Sets (over at ~Tableau Vivant~). Now they have finally released mesh feet! The mesh feet are part of their new 'Vanity Line'! M4ri1yn Magic is the talented creator behind the new 'Vanity Line', which is making it's debut over at SHOETOPIA. The first installation of the long awaited 'Vanity Line' are these fabulous 'Ballerina' feet.They are mesh feet wrapped in a delicate bands and ribbons.

M4ri1yn also created an easy to use to HUD, especially if you wear -Glam Affair- skins. Here is the info in regard to how it works:  

The hud features two sides:

-On the main side you'll find seven presets (that match Glam Affair tones), ten natural toe nails presets and the bands colors, textile and vinyl. You can hide the ends of the ribbon/band by clicking 'ends off'. To make them visible again just select a color (in the packs version) or the 'ends on' button for single packs.

-The back side has the color picker for both skins and nails, to adjust the tones and the nail natural/polish presets as needed.

There is slso a RGB button for specific tints provided; you can always switch back to white by clicking the reset button.

As mentioned previously, The 'Ballerina' line comes with a choice of two fabrics for the ribbon. You can choose from vinyl or textile fabric. You can also buy the fatpack, which includes both fabrics and a ton of gorgeous colors for the band/ribbon. 

I am really excited about this new line of mesh feet. There is also a male version of the 'Ballerina' feet that can be purchased at SHOETOPIA right now. I can't wait to see what M4ri1yn comes up with next!

I am in LOVE with this relatively new 'BE' dress from Marry Lemur of Overhigh. I adore the fitted bodice and skirt that has beautiful diaphanous skirt that flows on top. It definitely has a ballerina-esque feel to it. 

The skin was easy to choose for this post. I chose to wear aida Ewing's (of -Glam Affair- ) latest release for Collabor88. It is part of her latest 'Elvi' skin line, which is primarily made for younger avatars (ie, teens and children). It still can be worn by older avatars and look just as phenomenal. There are 12 make-ups available (including a 'Bare' skin option) in the America skin tone at Collabor88.This is definitely one opportunity you do not want to miss! Be sure to demo it ASAP!

To top of my look, I chose one of Truth Hawks latest hair releases, called 'Faye'. 'Faye' is so lovely and is definitely the perfect updo!

Just so you know, all the poses were made by the uber talented LouLou Teichmann of ~Tableau Vivant~. She is also an amazing artist and blogger; not to mention my SL wifey and BFF.

So with that said, SHOP and DEMO! Here are your LMs and Credits:

JUST DESIGN - My Feet at SHOETOPIA 2013

Davidfre Resident of JUST DESIGN is the latest shoe designer to create rigged mesh bare feet! I know David has been working hard on his new mesh feet for awhile and finally they were ready to be launched at SHOETOPIA 2013. He created both flat and tiptoe feet.

 * Left -Right: (Flat Feet FULL, Flat Feet EVO - Sock 1 & Flat Feet EVO - Sock 2)

I can see all the care he put into to rendering and texturing the feet. They definitely they look beautiful!

  *Left -Right: (Feet Tip Toe FULL, Feet Tip Toe EVO - Sock 3 & Feet Tip Toe EVO - High Sock )

However, he did not just stop at bare feet. He created 2 different versions of the flat feet and also of the tiptoe feet. There is a FULL Feet version and an EVO version. What is the difference? I will try to explain it to you as best as I can.

• FULL FEET: The FULL FEET have a blending zone around the ankle to remove any seams and are ideal if you are want to have perfect bare legs.
• EVO: The EVO feet have a neat cut without any blending zone. Instead of a blending zone, they have the option for you to wear tights, socks or stockings. thigh high socks, 2 (regular) sock options and a pair of stockings are included. Other options and designs for the tights/socks/stockings will be in t eh future.

*see above images for examples

So when you purchase the FLAT FEET or TIP TOE FEET, you will find both the FULL FEET and the EVO feet in your package. If you plan on just going bare footed, use the FULL FEET. David also has a really easy PefectSkin matching system, so matching your feet will be rather easy. The HUD is connected to a HUGE online data base, which houses each of the tones of hundreds of skins lines. You simply find the brand of skin of you are wearing and then the tone.You click the tone button and voila! Your feet should match perfectly (sometimes due to lighting, you make have to tweak it a tiny bit, but that goes for any of these systems).
If you want to wear socks or stockings, then you use the EVO FEET. He has eight fabric colors for the socks and 5 color for the nylons. The EVO FEET come with several Nylon tattoo layers, for an easy match. Plus, there will be a HUGE a line of socks and hosiery in the near the future at JUST DESIGN, which will be created to wear with the EVO FEET.
Since the feet are rigged mesh, they come in 6 standard sizes sizes: xxs, xs, xs, s, m, l

Whew! I think I covered everything. I am really impressed with these new feet and their whole system.These are yet another item, I highly recommend checking out ASAP.

Oh! One more thing!

Cae :: Bali Anklet :: Rose Quartz by Caelan Hancroft

Caelan Hancroft of Cae, created of these lovely Bali Anklets for the SHOETOPIA gachas. Now, these anklets were designed to be worn with Gos Bare Feet. However, I had no trouble modifying the anklet, so it fits the JUST DESIGN - Feet Tip Toe Full. These anklets are quite delicate beautiful, so I suggest trying your luck at the gacha machines. The stones are all breathtaking, so you really can not lose. If you get a double, give it to a friend! (avail @ Shoetopia)

Spotlight on *Donna Flora*

I have always associated the name *Donna Flora* with stunning vintage/ retro inspired jewelry and clothes that usually cover the 1920-50s. Squinternet Larnia's creations are always flawless and represent unltimate glamour. So, I can not tell you just how excited I was to be able to review some of her latest releases; including her newest venture....Shoes! And, if you know me, you know I adore shoes!!! I have to apologize in advance for the quality of my pics. My laptop needs to be replaced and everything is failing. It took me two days just to get together these pics, which is a definite sign that Dell better hurry-up! I also have been under-the weather, so that didn't help either. I just wish I had been able to do more justice to these amazing designs the Squinternet created so beautifully. I truly felt like a diva in them.
However, this is just my first post. I have one or two more *Donna Flora* features that will show you more of her gorgeous clothes and the rest of her 'LINDA' shoe line. The 'LINDA' shoes are so elegant and divine. They come in just about every color you can imagine and are secured with a lovely chiffon bow (which you can also opt not to wear) The HUD is easy to use as well. Today, I will being showing you the 'Chiffon Prints' from the 'LINDA' shoes line. And, since I know you will dying to check-out these amazing designs, I sent you a limo to *Donna Flora*: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Bonin/173/137/22
