Feeling Some S@SS!

I'm going to gush for a moment, and it may be a totally selfish gush, but I'm gonna do it none the less. I was tipped by my favorite tipster about the shoes at S@SS, and I simply adore the shoes I picked up! Shown above is the Leather Bound in chocolate brown. My gush comes at the part that I put on these shoes, which have the prim feet feature, and didn't have to change a thing. They literally matched my skin from the get go! Now that doesn't happen often, and I'm not saying it will happen for everyone, but I think you can understand my starry eyes.  Take a look for yourself, there are some other adorable styles! I really think it was my lucky day, the lucky chair was on G right when I arrived too! YAY me! Visit S@SS InWorld

Dear Tesla, I Love You.

May I just say, I love the heck out of these boots! The latest release from the talented hands of Tesla Miles made me giddy from moment one when I got them on my feet. I was fortunate to be able to walk around in a beta pair for the past few days, and when Tes delivered the full color range to me this morning I was in heaven. I think what really sets these apart, aside from the obvious high quality and attention to detail Tesla is famous for, is the lovely height and the way the top of the boot leg curves down in the back to hug the calf and not interfere with bending knees. The Kensington Boots also have some fancy bits of hardware to give them even more classic styling.

10 Fantastic shades; Black, Bluesteel, Bronze, Chocolate, Emerald, Purple, Scarlet, Teal, Violet & White. (click images to enlarge for detail)

For some reason the rest of my outfit today consists largely of Armidi goodness, the cuffed white shirt and bleached jeans... these are my current favorites. I still love my Muism denim but the butt on the Armidi Grace jeans is something special. The denim vest from Elephant Outfitters, the color change bangles from M.R.M. and the great belt from COCO (buckle re-done in Silver by moi) were easy additions that added more interest to the look. Hair is newness from Mirai, skin is Redgrave.

Get yourself some TESLA love real soon!

StyleCard: Shiny Things Ving Boots

My morning routine usually consists of cruising the feeds for the latest releases. This morning I saw this cute as pie dress Jazmin from Bare Rose and just had to grab it as soon as I logged. A short while later I received the latest release from Fallingwater Cellardoor, the Ving Boots, and decided to make an outfit using these 2 new items.

The Ving Boots come in 5 shades; Black, Warm Brown, Ash Brown, Oxblood & Grey. This boot features that amazing Shiny Things worn leather that makes then a favorite to the fashionably casual and the role play crowd alike. They are a mid calf height boot with an ample rounded toe box and a chunky boot heel. The upper features a series of straps and buckles and contrasting patches of faux reptile skin for even more character. The laces are scripted and the boot set comes complete with a HUD that enables you to custom tint the laces to match anything you like. The boot release also features 3 different sizes in the pack, and versions to suit the previous viewer release (1.20) and the current (1.21) which allows mirroring the sculpts, smart.

Besides the ample dose of cute provided by that sweet Bare Rose frock (the set includes Black, Blue, Brown, Pink & Purple... the Brown is worn here.), this look is complemented perfectly with this great necklace and earring set from Luc called The Awakening. The ocre colored woolen tights from Persona, and the Polly hair from TRUTH. Skin, as per usual, hails from REDGRAVE.

Ving Boots are available at Shiny Things.

Who Me?

Well it happens, footwear is dropped on me in folders and some days I get multiple folders, others none at all, so when Adam n Eve creator Damen Gorilla passed me the folder marked 'Adam n Eve Boots - Anessa' I simply assumed he was handing the footwear out to multiple reviewers and had named the folders so he could keep track of his deliveries. It was not until I saw the Fashion Planet feed this morning that it dawned on me that the boots were actually named Anessa (brilliant choice btw), so how could I not walk around in them today all happy-like?

So here they are, a perfectly nice ankle boot with an oversized buckle for the all important fashion forward look (I have it on good authority that these are a RL sensation by a very big name in footwear at the moment, so I would not be surprised to see a few variations popping up). The Adam n Eve boots come in multiple shades of suede with contrast white piping, and great neutral leathers with the added special versions with red/black mixed combinations. (you can click on the image for a super jumbo close-up)

I wore mine with this fantastic new set from Bijou, I just can't stay out of that place! I simply added the multi-strand black pearls from Paper Couture and a favorite bangle from Fresh Baked Goods along with my new hair from TRUTH (on sale now!). I never get tired of that red and black combination.

Be sure and visit Adam n Eve to see the full range of shades for the Anessa Boots!

Thanks for the nod, Damen! :)

StyleCard: Enkythings Cypa

It's been a while since I have had the pleasure of reviewing something from veteran footwear creator Enktan Gully. Enkythings latest release, the Cypa Boots, are a nice blend of classic fitted leather boot and some interesting textures and patterns. The boots come in a standard size, a rather slim fitting one, but gladly include an XL and XXL calf piece if you do not wish to modify your shape to suit the boot. I wound up in the XL size, and as you can see, I had some fun trying on the many combinations... multiple styles available in the black, and an additional ones in the brown (not all are shown below).


I love the use of textiles in these boots, not something we see very often, they seem to lend themselves well to mix and match dressing, using the palate of the calf portion to inspire an outfit. I loved the combination of black and rich red-brown and decided to create a comfy casual look that echoes those shades. Starting with my favorite denims du jour from MUISM, and this chunky sweater from Skin Flicks, I pulled the belt off of my AOHARU Madras Check Shirt Dress. The hat/hair combo is a cute color change dealie from WAKA & Yuki and I added the polished wood hoop earrings from Paper Couture as the finishing touch.
