Claudia & Roxy

Siddean Munro's footwear line took a nice leap forward this past week with the release of two new styles, the Claudia Ballet Flats and the Roxy Mules. SLink is busily establishing itself as a place where you can find not only shoes, but clothing and skins as well - all seemingly executed with great care and attention to detail.

The Claudia Ballet Flats are a nicely pointed variation of this ever popular inventory item, a healthy sized sculpted bow adorns the toe... and we all know how I feel about my bows! There are a wide range of colour options and combinations available, here are just a sampling of some of my favorites.

These Roxy Mules are a fun style, and I really love what Siddean has done here - allowing for a nice assortment of animal print, textile and solid options. They have a nice height and attractive shape, also, some great texturing to achieve a wrinkled look on the upper. Shown below are only a few of the designs available. Another winner in my book.

Be sure and add SLink to your weekend shopping trip.

Also wearing; with Claudia - Minnu Skin, Dernier Cri Hair, Artilleri Dress, Usagui Hair Flower, DECO Jewelry Necklace, Fresh Baked Goods & Calla Bracelets. with Roxy - PXL Skin, Dernier Cri Hair & Complete Outfit, DECO Jewelry Necklace. Flowers by Mej & Mau's.

Twice as Nice

Tangerine dreams and leopard printed maryjanes were the perfect way to start my weekend. A stop into Kitties Lair netted me quite a thrill as I quickly discovered Babette Ultsch had recently released 2 new styles. Previously we have reviewed her Peep Toed Pumps and Venice Boots... these are just another example of what she does so well - cute sexy shoes, perfectly textured.

These Francine Mary-Janes are yummy, I love the amazing chunk heel and the beautiful shine textures as only Babette can do, but I am a sucker for animal prints and the leopard are just so great - I adore the little ties with metal accents at the ends. A nice escape from the typical buckled maryjanes.

The Peep Toed Mules Kewt! as she calls them certainly are that, nice moderate platform mules with metallic soles in gold and silver - the creamsicle colored orange where my must have... but they are all pretty fantastic as you can see in the store display shot below.

Add Kitties Lair to your weekend shopping list, demos in store - grab some!

Spring Sprung, Finally.

Yay! I am so happy that the work of changing Retrology over to Spring has been completed. I was getting so tired of the snow and drab, but all that is gone now and it's blooms of color all around. Part of my Spring ritual involved a bit of cleaning for my bulging 'to review' folder, and that's when I remembered these sweet floral sandals that I have been hanging on to for months. Today seemed like the perfect day to share them.

These Flower Strap Mules by Luly are just too sweet. They look as if they have been made from twisting vines and pretty flowers, and I love the way the provided foot shape works with them - a nice balanced fit no squashed toes or wonky arch. The set of 3 pairs comes with matching flower necklaces, and though I am showing you the green versions - they also come in Black and Sepia with various flower colors.

Visit the Luly Shop for these and other adorable & innovative sandals - I would have blogged them all but I am busy taking a nap in a flower bed!

Oh! and in case you hadn't heard - I would love to invite you all to visit Retrology to participate in the ongoing Spring/Easter Egg hunt... over 50 eggs with free, 0L and 1L goodies from vendors like /artilleri/, Ingenue, Violet Voltaire, Periquita Shoes and Sin Shoes... free shoes? OMG! The hunt continues until midnight SLT tomorrow. Happy hunting!
