Sweetest Bad Girl

I am a bad girl, maybe. Whether you are a bad girl or a good girl there is something fun and flirty about dressing like one. The Sweetest Goodbye had a pretty major release today, an entire collection of sexy bad girl essentials with something for everyone. It started with the delivery of the Get on! Boots in Black and Brown, and ended with a trip to the store to buy the rest of the goods.

The boots are tall and sleek, accented with mini belts and buckles on a very sexy slight platform sole. The are textured in attractive smooth leather and have some nice subtle shine details. The fit was perfect for my avatar, which is pleasant since I often need to resize boot calves. But these are modifiable so you can tweak the fit to suit your avatar if necessary.


The Get on! One Piece and Hat are equally appealing. The one piece comes in 4 variations, as do the hats. I have a huge crush on blue so Navy was the easy choice, and the coordinating belt with chain detail that comes with the set (and can be worn with other looks) matches the boots perfectly. I love the prim accents, really top stuff, like the orange tied arm band, and the open halter back reveals those sexy shoulders. The hat was really well sized and only required slight position changes to work with my hair. The entire look was biker babe chic, so I threw on a Black Heart necklace from Sole, and my biker gloves from Redgrave and decided to take my bike for a spin, yeah it's really mine.

That's all for now, time for this BAD GIRL to get back on the road. Ride over to Sweetest Goodbye for your fill.

The Stuff; Redgrave Skin (Leona), Analogue Dog Hair (Monday), Outfit-Boots-Hat from Sweetest Goodbye, Redgrave Gloves, Sole Black Heart Key Necklace.

Playing Catch Up

Been getting a little behind on the reviews lately, so here are a trio of mini-reviews for some relatively new creators. All style notes are included at the bottom of this post. Happy Shopping!

A newcomer on the scene is Pretties by JB, made by Jori Watler. These PBJ Boho Chic Mules are a really cute looking shoe, nice shape and texturing, shown here in Mocha Leather. Pretties also has some cute boots and accessories in store, so go check them out here.

Skin Flicks has been around for a while, but their shoe collection is still relatively unknown. These Jane Flats are perfectly sweet slim lined shoes. Available in multiple colors, these are a great casual shoe option from Mavis McGettigan. A visit to the Main Location is highly recommended.

Last but not least is the first major shoe release from DoC Eldritch and DE Designs. The DE DEvinci Boots are a great first offering, a sculpted boot with sexy calf hugging upper, in solids and subtle patterns with an oh-so-high heel. A great start from this talented designer, I am eager to see more. Visit DE Designs to take a closer look.

Looks like more than enough new offerings to tempt us, and more to come soon!

The Stuff; with PBJ Mules - Redgrave Leona Skin (Gold), Zero Style Kristin Hair (Chestnut), Savvy? Rouched Bustier (Bronze), Veschi Jeanius Pants (Black), Luc Tropical Wood Necklace, Sole Irregular Wood Bracelet. with Skin Flicks Flats - Redgrave Leona Skin (Gold), ETD Hayden 2 (Chestnut), Flat Cap Grey Tweed by The Hat Shop, DCNY Jaana Jacket (Gold), Starlet Leggings by Bijou. with DEvinci Boots - Redgrave Leona Skin (Gold), Zero Style Yoshino Hair (Chestnut), Annie One Piece Outfit (Gold) by Azul, Sole Irregular Wood Necklace (Wooden Chain) & Pierced Earrings, Bangles from Uzuri and Earthtones/Luc.

Angel Lust May Trunk Show

Karmela will be styling hair into intense ponytails,surrounded by braids,or long pigtail braids loaded with bows and twisting up some eccentric buns!!! It will be held at SHOP aka IloveShop.com

400 Toes!

As I was about to start a post this evening I noticed that the previous total number of posts was 399, making this one our 400th post! I immediately IM'd Graciana and we decided to get together and find a way to commemorate this huge accomplishment. We started way back on December 4th 2007, and I can still remember how big a deal blogging seemed to be, having never done it before. Graci held my hand and got me started and we have never looked back, we have reviewed shoes & boots, traditional prim and sculpted, with feet and without, and we have tried to show of some of the best that our amazing SL creators have to offer.

We decided to put on the very first pairs of shoes we blogged and take a photo together. I just had to giggle when I remembered my first was Stiletto Moody's Bitch Booties, I wore these just the other day, still very much a fave. Graciana's first footwear post was the Sugar and Spice Boots from Lyra Muse and LAST CALL/VAMP. It is amazing how much has changed, including our appearances... love of shoes, however, remains.

We both want to give tremendous thanks to all the wonderful creators who have kept our shoe inventories bursting at the seams, you inspire us. A big thanks to Jonny Tobias and the others who have contributed their time and feet to model for us in the past, it seems that men come and go, but great shoes are forever! Lastly, and most importantly, our dear readers - who make it all worthwhile, thank you for your support and feedback, you mean so much to us.

Thanks for keeping us On Your Toes!
