Happiness Is...

A sexy summer sandal with more than just a sexy shape, the Nardcotix Rosa Maria is part of the impressive MANA collection of foot in shoe designs. You will love the intricate layers of snakeskin stamped leather and vivid color combinations, each of the shades offered has its own distinct flavor, and will be a joy to style with some hot summer looks.

Before you dance on over to Nardya Rousselot's store on the Reek Sim, you will also be happy to know that the MANA collection still offers one of my favorite user HUDs for skin tone matching and specialty nail options, its very simple to use tab format allows you to customize your choices easily and quickly, a detail that will make these great shoes even easier to love!

Calling Gloria!

Great things come in wedge form; cheese, cake, cheesecake, and shoes! As we saw at Shoe Fair 2011, the wedge is back in a big way, and while there are plenty of summery wedge sandals around, inviting you to slip your toes into, there is yet another wedge that deserves a heap of attention for its vivid colors, curvaceous design, and all around stylishness.Nardya Rousselot or NX Nardcotix introduced the Gloria Wedges a short time ago, and is about to release them in a full on range of colors in her mainstore on the Reek Sim. Not for the timid, these sexy shoes are perfect all year round, so head on over to Nardcotix and grab yourself a slice of style.

Like MANA From Fashion Heaven : Part 1

And so the tease begins... pay attention to some of your very favorite blogs as the launch of Nardya Rousselot's latest creations, the MANA Footwear Collection, for NX Nardcotix is set to hit stores this weekend, in grand style. Not only will this release be the first foot-in-shoe foray for Nardya, but it also signals the re-opening of the Nardcotix Main Store on the Xalapa Sim. Click through to the Nardcotix blog for more details about the opening, and the blogger challenge contest along with it! (Three (3) lucky winners of this challenge will receive the MANA color pack of their choice.)

Part 1 of my MANA blog post is all about Anessa, not me, the Anessa Cork Heels that are part of the new collection. Nardya was kind enough to honor me with a very special namesake in these shoes, they are styled after one of my favorite real life designs, and they are unique in their combining of comfy cork, sleek metal, and sexy shape... a bit like me ;-) The shoes come in many beautiful shades (as you can see a sample of below), with the choice of gold or silver platform base, and a completely new manicure system that I just adore.

Things worth noting about the MANA Collection; There are different meanings for the name MANA, but for Nardya it's a combination of her faith and the spanish translation which is slang for 'sister'. Hence many of the shoes are named after her closest friends. The creation of these shoes and the features they offer, some I have never seen before, was one of the most well thought out and carefully planned creations yet worn, they have really incorporated the feedback of more than a few shoe lovers to ensure that they will be a favorite for many.

Coming soon to the NEW Nardcotix Main Store on Xalapa!
