StyleCard: Sunday Three-way

So many great new items for me to blog, so little time. I decided to put together three new StyleCards to share as many new looks with you as possible. Fantastic new ankle boots from J's that are actually 2 boots in one. The new boots come with a taller buckled version and a 'pants friendly' version that only uses the foot attach point. Great color selection on these.

Sweet as honey 'Janes' from relative newcomer Miel add a kick of fun color to your wardrobe. One of a few adorable styles from Miel, which is also home to some great clothing, these allow for complete customizing with a simple touch drop down menu that allows for resizing too. These have a fun all in one sculpted wedge shape and subtle texturing.

Last but not least, new to me Evoke shows us some well sculpted slingbacks and cements themselves as 'ones to watch' in the shoe game. These have a sassy retro feel and really beautiful smooth shape, due to advanced sculpt creating techniques, one of many attractive styles available from this new kid on the block. Well worth a visit.

Happy Sunday!

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.

StyleCard: Kookie Girl

There's a new kid in town, Kookie Lemon is her name and she makes shoes. If you follow the fashion feeds you have no doubt seen more than a few glimpses of her adorable footwear, but I would be remiss if I didn't introduce this talented gal to my 'On Your Toes' readers. She is going to be one to watch.

I had to climb into a pair of her Katy Boots in this delicious Persian Pink, and then throw on some cute knits to make a fun look to go with them. Sweetest Goodbye made this great Danbi Hooded Knit, and Dernier Cri the great leggings (part of the Ranae Outfit) - and my favorite Hair Fair find the Maitreya Jade style with knit cap. Bangles by Argyle in matching hues were an easy choice.

A few more great styles on the menu at Kookie, from left to right; Donna Slingback Platforms, Phoebe Court Shoes & Natasha, an embellished closed foot pump - hot!

Be sure and pay Miss Kookie a visit and take a closer look.

The stuff; Giusia Skin, Maitreya Hat/Hair, Sweetest Goodbye Top, Dernier Cri Leggings, Bangles by Argyle.

One to Watch: JE*REPUBLIC

My RL sister Jhuzen Ketsugo tipped me off to a great little shop last week, and we immediately collaborated our dress buying talents to do a post for her blog, SL Fashion Addict on the neat stuffs at JE*REPUBLIC. Creator Jungeun Vella makes more than adorable dresses, she dabbles in making some super cute hair and accessories... and oh yes - boots!

As luck would have it I ran into Jungeun at a recent fashion show and while complimenting her on her great things she offered me the opportunity to share a look at these great Leg Warmer Boots with the readers of 'On Your Toes'. I am so pleased to make her only the second One to Watch in this blog's history. The boots are great and funky and I love the shape of the gold buckles.

Check out all the great items at JE*REPUBLIC, be sure and check back often - I am certain there will be more great stuff to come!

Also wearing; Minnu Skin, BP Hair, Armidi Sunglasses, Accessories by Second Mirage and [Amaretto], dress by In The Light.

One to Watch: TOSL

I saw a great post on Tarissa Tripsa's blog, Fallobst, that featured some neat looking boots from Tree of Second Life, TOSL. The lace-ups by creator Quinlan Quimby are rather special, as is pretty much everything she offers in her adorable shop at Cotton Candy (where I located the boots) or her Main Store. She has a bunch of pretty dresses, some great separates and accessories and a small line of shoes and boots that compliment all of the rest. The TOSL Cobbler Boots (here I am wearing the 'Sucre Bleu') are loaded with details, wrapped in ribbons, interesting textures and nice shapes. All this put Quinlan on my list as 'One to Watch' ... check out TOSL soon!

Also wearing; Minnu Skin, Armidi Hair, [miw] Bikini, !BF! Heart Bangles by elka Lehane.
