Serving Up a Sneak Peek!

I know you missed me... and I missed you too, but if you follow shoe news then you might have expected a little something like this! Stiletto Moody is on the cusp of her Summer '09 release, and this time she is serving up more than ever before. This release is highly anticipated with several peeks already leaked to various media. But Stiletto assures me that I am the first lucky girl to get her very own pair of the brand new Stiletto Moody BARE © Lauren, the gorgeous ribbon wrapped ankle stiletto pumps were the ones that caught my eye, and they certainly do not disappoint... and these are only one of seven, count them, seven, new Stiletto Moody BARE © Shoes and a pair of Thigh High Boots 'to die for' slated for release tonight!

Loaded with delicious texture and the usual features, the Lauren Patent ColorSet comes in 10 great shades; Black, Midnight, Red, White, Coral, Turquoise, Nude, Purple, and very special contrast colors Pink&Grey or Black&White. Now here is where the fun starts... if customizing is your thing, a very adorable Cyan Card Table emerged from my inventory and on it was perched a lovely card and envelope from Stiletto, a very special add-on for my sweet little Laurens was the Stiletto Moody Lauren - BAREfoot1 Upgrade set, it contained fun and funky foot tattoos and charm anklets, other upgrade sets include toe rings and bonus nail polish options, very cute!


So now that I have aroused your appetite for shoes, please be sure and join the Stiletto Moody Group right now! Later tonight a 40% off sale for members only will begin. For the first time ever - BARE Ingrid, BARE Audrey, BARE Greta & BARE Vivienne will be on sale and the Summer '09 Belle de Jour collection will be out at regular price!

UPDATE: Hello Miss Zhao?

OK Color me confused, a concerned reader pointed this out to me this morning and I have to say that I am a bit disappointed and even more bewildered, but perhaps the creators involved can shed some light on the situation for all of us. It seems the just released ZHAO AprilStars are almost identical, if not identical, to shoes released in January by Cattiva e Cattivo creator Lissa Maertens. They are alike in appearance and also in the name 'AprilStars' and even the color names seem to be the same. So I ask, were these a 'business in a box' full perms kit situation or has Lissa started working with ZHAO? I await your feedback. (*** please see the comments section of this post for clarification)

The Original Review:

Zhao shoes is back! For whatever reason it has been a while since Melanie Zhao has released something new, but as expected she has returned with the release of these cute sculpted AprilStars oxford heels. Some nice texturing here, and great color selection, each pair comes with 2 lace options, these are resizable by HUD. There is also a color changeable pair with bling, Zhao has always offered great customizable features and she managed to find a way to offer that here too.

Visit ZHAO Shoes at the main store to take a look at the newness.

The stuff; Redgrave Skin, ETD Hair, Argrace Shirt, COCO knotted sweater, Cachet Pants, Artilleri & Fresh Baked Goods Bracelets.

Hot Croc!

Yay! I am back... feels like I was under a mountain of commitments this past week, and I have been desperately been trying to find time to post about these great new pumps from House of Nyla, I have reviewed Nyla Cheeky's footwear in the past, heavily jewelled prim sculptures that match her costume creations perfectly. This time around Nyla has ventured into the land of sculpties, freely admitting that she did not design the sculpts here, but the custom texturing and decoration take these way out of generic shoe territory. The Crocodile Pumps, or mock croc as it where, come in loads of delicious colors of richly detailed reptile skin. There are black beads all around the foot opening and on the top of the heel, adding a bit of the traditional Nyla pizazz to these. Great shoes offered at a very reasonable price point, well worth a look.

Jog over to The House of Nyla for yours!

Sasche Flats

Every new release from Armidi creates a stampede over to the store. Shoppers show up in droves and fight the lag with enthusiasm (ok maybe not really enthusiasm, but they tough it out none the less). So I, like so many others...ran over and had to get my hands on the new goodies. These Sasche flats are adorable, and great quality. Available in many colors, I picked up the pearl. These are another shoe that would be great dressed up and dressed down (as shown here). If you haven't picked them up, run on over. I bet the lag isn't as bad now (I'm an optimist). There are demos available. Visit Armidi InWorld!
