Going Up…

Through the several years that I've been in SL I've always looked forward what Paper Couture might dream up next.  Whether it is Ball Gowns that are so lovely they steal your breath or accessories that are must haves - each piece is a work of art all on its own. 

So when the new Fall/Winter collection was launched for Modavia Fashion week The elevation booties caught my eye.  The textures are out of this world and the heel is delicately arched to point into a stiletto.  An amazing addition to your Second Life shoe wardrobe. 
The Elevations booties are sculpted and are available in the colors Gold, Black, Beige, Black/White Toe, and Red.  You can demo the Elevation booties at the store and while you are there you may as well pick up the fat pack, (because yes, fat pack is a color) and you will have a collection of amazing footwear!

The dress that I am wearing is also from the new line at Paper Couture.  The Moira dress is definitely a head turner located in the center of the Paper Couture store it caught my eye.  I shortened it a bit to conform it to my own style but it did not compromise the feminine beauty of this gown.  What I love most about this gown is the fitted bodice with  black lace and an under layer of nude silk that fits and moves most sensually against my skin.  The waist is met with black rosettes all around and then poofs out to a full skirt of gauzy golden fabric all around!  Simply enchanted and sure to bewitch!

The new Paper Couture collection for Fall 2010 is pretty impressive, and naturally there are some great new shoes available with the new release. I am focusing on 2 of my favorite styles/colors from the new designs, and I hope you will agree that there is just something special about these shoes.


The Typhoon Boots are the stuff Fall Boot dreams are made of, slouchy and stylish, with a great leather and suede combination, these wedge heeled beauties will be hard to resist. For me the deep plum and purple were destined to come home with me!


The Suede Platform Pumps are available in both brightly colored solids and a smaller set of 'Wrapped' versions that incorporate a pattern of primitive dots and zig zags on a more muted palate, as shown here. These are a perfect compliment to the many African inspired designs in the new PC Fall Collection.

Shop for these styles, and additional ones not shown, at Paper Couture.

Good On Paper

Oh yes, Spring 2009 is here! With today's release of the hefty bouquet full of detailed gowns, pouf adorned dresses, and perfectly layered outfits, Paper Couture made sure to do it's usual magic. It is a Spring Collection complete with accessories, and oh hey, delicious shoes. I did my part for the SL 'Couture' industry and spent a nice chunk of linden loonies on these beautiful items.

The Pastel Blue Butterfly Pumps are decorated with, you guessed it, Butterflies that seem to be made of delicate enamel. A pretty soft blue that fades to white on a peachy tinted sole, the shoe features the Paper Couture signature on the insole and embroidered on a small label on the back of the left heel. Worn with these shoes is the Braided Rosette Tunic, Diamond & Rose Bouquet Ring, Deer Flower earrings and Climbing Ilkar Long Hair.

Red is irresistible in most cases, and the beautiful combination of quited leather and floral print would be more than enough to sell me on these Red Pattented & Floral Pumps, but the added touched of ornate beaded flowers and buttons make these unforgettable. The casual and classic Jasmine Vest Outfit is the perfect soft palate to make these shoes stand out, and the fantastic Glass Flower Necklace and Pearled Simplicity Earrings, and Forget Me Not Bun Hair add even more interest to this sweet look.

A must have pair of pumps for me are the Copper & Wood Flower lovelies, the generous wood heel give these such a warm feeling. I paired these antique rose and satin printed pretties with the Belladonna Mini Dress, exquisite Carnelian Set jewelry and Spring Multi-Stone Ring, which gave me my biggest smile of the shopping trip.

You will not want to miss a chance to take a closer look at these and many other beautiful new releases at Paper Couture, your Limo is Here.

Other stuff; Redgrave Sakura Skins. (Click on these images to view at full size.)

Birds of a feather flock together, and shoes of a feather are just plain fabulous. How timely the release from Redgrave of these Feather Heels at the exact moment that Paper Couture launched it's aviary themed Fall 2008 collection. This Night Heron Dress somehow eluded me on my first visit to PC, but as soon as I saw it I knew just what shoes I would wear with this sweet feathered frock.

Viola Leigh does it again, and this time with a bit of sparkle as a bright gold chain and 'V' signature charm adorn the feathery ankle. The heels come in a nice assortment of shades and they are an elegantly shaped shoe that combines sculpted and traditional prims seamlessly. My accessories are also from Redgrave, the Hanging Chain set which includes earrings, rings for each hand and a necklace (not worn here). The hair is ETD, and the price is irresistible with the current sale going on.

If you have plans to pick up some of the new Paper Couture be sure and also pay a visit to Redgrave for some of these heels, after all, Holiday party season is right around the corner!
