Unique Needs: Pretty and Punk

Ann Otoole of Unique Needs recently came out with these Pretty and Punk Mary Janes, and they are glam and glitz with a little fierce mixed in. I mean com'on, they are gold and shiny with diamonds and spikes. Yeah, they might not be for everyone out there, but for me, it's a win win! Visit Unique Needs Inworld.

On Sales and Shoes

The good thing about a sale is adding all the new goodies to your wardrobe and knowing that you paid less. This has been an incredible time for sales in SL - something for everyone (who can surf the lag and remain cool headed in the process). With all this money that I must be saving on clothes and great hair at ETD and Last Call... I should be able to get some great shoes too, right?

I was just so happy this week when I heard there were some new items at Armidi, another fashion mecca to which I am drawn like a moth to flame... or err, boucle sweaters. I roamed in my usual circuit... hair, casuals, footwear... and OMG there they were... the Barcelona Slingbacks - OK, not 100% sure that they are new new - but they are new to me!

And so many flavors to choose from - some with contrasting gold soles, others that wrap edge to edge in those signature Armidi shades that I just love. But how to decide... then i remembered all my recent sale 'finds' - and I settled on 2 pairs (amazing restraint I thought) - the Seagrass (green is a weakness) and the rich Bole with it's brown upper and golden heeled sole. They are like little sculptures, so nicely shaped with a lovely matte sheen and slightly curled toe box. And once I paired them with my new Last Call casuals and ETD hair - I was positively gleeful. Aren't sales great? Now I just need to get that white pair off my mind, ooh the white. Happy lag everyone!

A Hot Date with Maitreya

I was feeling a bit blue about facing the obligatory SL New Year's Eve parties dateless... because apparently, watching Clemson play in the Chick-fil-a Bowl is a big deal. And then Onyx LeShelle smiled down at me from shoe heaven, and sent me not one, but two, hot dates for New Year's Eve. Introducing the Slinky Stilettos from Maitreya a really fantastic looking sculpted stiletto with a perfectly pointed toe and delightful optional heel detail - a gold coloured steel accent (comes with and without heel sounds). You get both options for a great price, and I can't wait to see what delightful colours and textures Onyx does next with this great looking offering.

Happy New Year everyone!

All That Glitters

With so many Holiday and New Year's Parties in SL it is a great time to throw on that LBD (Little Black Dress) and then add that touch of glamour with a great pair of glitzy shoes. I scoured my closet, and the closets of some of SL's shoe magicians to pull together some of my favorite golden footwear. Enjoy!
