Lya Lya

I am really very pushy, I like to push talented creators to do what they do best, and that includes making me new shoes to wear. Lyanis Sin of Lya had been playing hookie for quite some time when I caught her online and begged her to make something new, she finally agreed and not too long after she delivered to me the most adorable flats, called Elika, which are really something special.

What I love about the Elika Flats is the proportion, Lyanis manages to deliver a pretty flat that doesn't make me look like a giant with munchkin feet, while utilizing the viewer 2 alpha layer, the flats are a decent length and width that will work on 'taller' avys as well as child and shorter ones. The color palate is muted and fresh, with a color change bow that can create a subtle effect or a more eye catching embellishment depending on your taste.

OK, easy post. Why? Well that is pretty simple really, great slouchy ankle boots in 10 great colors, with or without lace toppers... and they are from Lya. Miss Lyanis Sin has delivered me a special Valentine's treat, the Valentina Boots are her latest release, and as I have said before, she just keeps getting better. More detail, more realism, great colors and the optional lace topper are all great features of these short boots. These cute casual boots are perfect with skinny legged denim or a hot mini skirt, the silver accent ring and straps are a great touch. These adjust by hand very easily to get an almost perfectly seamless look between lower leg and foot attachments.


The boots come in the 10 luscious shades above, and when you buy them you get both the lace and non-lace calf piece, of special note this weekend the Red & Pink versions are available at 50% off at the Retrology Location! I styled my Silver ones up with a monochromatic combo of greys, from So Many Styles, the baggy sweater tank and silver embellished denims. A silver tube top from Garbage , and amazingly detailed accessories from UZURI, then the adorned hippie doo Lovetones hair from Lamb complete the look.

Visit the Lya Main Store or Retrology Location to pick these up!

Congratulations Lya!

I was thrilled to hear from Polly Pavlova of The Body Politik, that a winner has been announced for their 'Fill These Shoes' Contest. Congratulations go to Lyanis Sin of Lya, who has been featured previously on this blog, here. Her shoes have come so far in such a short amount of time and the quality is simply fantastic, the 'On Your Toes' gang wish her all the best at her new location on the Evantide Far East Sim.

StyleCard: Lya & Naïve

I will never get bored in SL as long as there is color and newness and endless ways to express my quirky all over the place style. Lyanis Sin of Lya is one of the colorful people in my SL, she is bright and funny and one-of-a-kind, and she keeps on impressing me with her rapidly improving skills at making great shoes. A quick look back at her very first sculpted shoes here, will demonstrate just what I mean. Lyanis' latest Lya release, the Nichelle Pumps are a killer looking shoe, I love everything about them, color, style and shape. A nice in-between from the hyper-real and the more 'cartoonish' sculpted footwear.

I also really like what I see from relatively new clothing brand Naïve, whose creator Leah McCullough, among her many other talents, has a really strong sense of color and some great fun looks in her store which can be found here. I paired it all with this amazing hat/hair combo from ::69:: and a constant favorite Fresh Baked Goods bangle.

Get these great pumps in several yummy shades at Lya. (and check out the lucky chairs too!)

Call me a Lya!

More shoes than any girl could ever need, and yet I still get a little thrill whenever I get sent something new to look at. Lyanis Sin has carefully been working on her sculpties, and I know these Sakura shoes have been in the works for a while now. I am happy to report that they are a great looking wedge shoe, and what really sets them apart for me... from others I have seen, are the amazing textures and the subtly realistic shaping of the wedge itself.

Also of note is this amazing Spoiled Dress, from the Enayla Collection at Iris Seale's Punch Drunk that I loved so much color wise I had to wear it with Lyanis' shoes... It certailnly made me feel all happy. Lyanis offers some really beautiful shades in these shoes too, and what really made my jaw drop was the shiny red version of the Sakura, only available in the Lucky Chair at the Lya Mainstore!

It's time to head over to Lya.

Also wearing; PXL Skin, Kyoot Hair, Punch Drunk Dress, Ume Mode Accessories.
