Just Teasing

Warning: This post contains shameless self-promotion, or rather, clothing from the *New* DCNY because my shopping time has been severely limited lately... but much more important than that are the shoes, and it should always be more about the shoes, dontcha think?

Nardya Rousselot is a busy girl, she is a hard one to catch online these days... but whenever I do catch her I usually harass her with questions about her next shoe release, when is it coming? what is she making? etc. But as recently as this past weekend, she finally had an answer for me, and today, a sneak peek at the lovely MANA Edith, an elegant ankle strap heel from Nardcotix.

It has all the quality we have grown to expect from well made foot-in-shoe styles, and it also boasts one of the most user friendly hud designs I have used. It was one click for me to match my PXL Linda G3 Light Tan Skin perfectly, and there are enough shade presets to make it easy, and any custom tinting and darkening is a piece of cake.

If you have owned MANA styles before you will pleased to note that your existing hud will work perfectly here, so if you have saved your personal skin settings they are available, as are any custom nail art options you may have already added to your hud. The color variety that will be offered on this style is bigger than ever, real eye candy shades too!

Nardya promises to have these out on the shelves as soon as Friday, so please keep an eye out, or join her subscriber group to get the release notices! Visit Nardcotix here.

StyleCard: Periquita Steps

Periquita has offered us another sweet and unique style, or two. The S-Steps and Q-Steps are funky chunky pumps crafted with the same wonderful sculptural quality and fabulous textures we are now used to from creator Erpla Prieto. They have an almost reptile skinned look but in a smooth and subtle way. Easy shoes to wear with casual looks, and definitely fun.

Beautiful and bright colors with just a hint of shine on the toe. Nicely shaped heels and I love the texturing of the sole.

The Q-Steps version features a cute little T-strap variation for an even sassier look. I went for monochromatic and paired mine with the latest from DCNY Clothing Co. the Beryl Dress, which is fun and flirty, and the Aradia Hair from TRUTH with its pretty color change flowers.

The Stuff;

Shoes - Periquita S-Steps, Black

Skin - Skin - Gala Phoenix JUNE Sundust (Frex)

Hair - Truth Aradia

Dress - DCNY Beryl Dress (includes Belt)

Necklace - Ume Mode, Color Change Beads

The Shiny Truth!!!!

I've come to this conclusion: "Graci slacks, therefore she is"  Yes, yet again I'm cheating and combining my posts for this week. But I have to say, what great shoes I have for you today. 

From Fallingwater Cellardoor of Shiny Things are the Hyasynths named for the Silentsparrow creator, Hyasynth. A very platformed shoe, the fine details of the straps with the cute stars make this a fab shoe. Available in red and black versions, there is also a dress from Silentsparrow to go with the shoes. Visit Shiny Things Online and In World. 

Truth Hawks has been a busy bee, not only was there a shoe release recently, but I think more hair, clothes and accessories such as belts and bags. Here I have on the Wests high tops. Available in a lot of color combinations and in both female and male sizes. A fun shoe for lounging or playing. Visit Truth Online and In World.

Twice the Toes - Digit Darkes and Truth

I think Anessa was right! It's been a shoe explosion the past few days! So I'm fast tracking a bit and double posting some of the new stuff that's come across my attention. First (above) is the Desire Heel from Digit Darkes. On Your Toes had featured Digit's other "Toe Shoe" the Lotus Heels earlier in the week. Like the Lotus these are gorgeous shoes. Super high heal with leather and metal hardware, that is also color changing from brown & black leather and gold, silver, & bronze metal.  I really like the look of these prim toes, and the overall shape is yummy. I did have a bit more trouble matching my skin tone, and found that it was easier for me to match these shoes with my Belleza skin than my Redgrave. Like Anessa said in her first review, there is a notecard provided that gives suggestions with tones, and there also is a sock pack included that helps as well. The shading around the sides is darker than the rest of the foot, which could change depending on your lighting and viewer. This shoe also utilizes invisaprims on the legs to hide those ghastly natural SL feet, so you won't be able to use your cuffs with these shoes that use the same attach point.

On a side note, while reading plurks the other day, Alaska M. had a really great idea. She asked whether shoe creators who make shoes with sculpted feet were making copies of them without the feet as well. I love that idea, just because even though I personally love the cute little piggies, I know there are others out there who aren't in favor of them, I'd hate to see those people not get a chance to wear some of these great looking shoes! Just an idea. :)

So my other treasure is the Sophia Boots from Truth (along with some really cute Truth hair too). The detail on the buckle of these ankle boots are fabulous, these are just the type of boots that boot lovers need for the upcoming warmer months! I think they'd look great with capris, shorts, skirts, and whatever suits your fancy! Available in several colors, these are worth a look!

Truth Goodies for Spring!

Spring is in the air, and I can feel it, on my toes! New from Truth are the Aurora Heels and the  C.Edo Flats. The Aurora's are available in 10 color combinations and 8 shades for the C.Edo's. So let your toes out of those boots! Check out Truth Inworld!

Other Stuff: Hair from Truth, Outfits from Icing, and skin from Belleza. 

Truth's Foxley Boots

I know I know, I've recently pulled another blogging disappearing act, but you shoe lovers were always in my heart. And wouldn't you know that in the midst of my hiatus Truth Hawks has recently renovated his store and brought us some cute new hair and guess what else....Boots!!! Shown above are the latest in foot ware from Truth - the Foxley Boots. Even though it's just about the time to toss the boots into a storage bin and bring out the strappy sandals, I just can't get enough boots!! Take a trip to Truth InWorld and OnLine.

Other stuff: Hair and dress from Truth, shrug from LaLa Fofo, skin from Belleza.

Truth: Nodmad Boots

Ok, I know I know..these boots have been popping up on lots of blogs and what-not. But just look at them, they are, in my opinion, fab. The nice foot shape coupled with the thick upper ankle, I just had to declare my own love. That's all...you know where to get them. :) Truth InWorld and OnLine.

Truth: Trainers and Freebie

Yes, it is the truth! Truth Hawks just released some cute new trainers that fit both the male and female foot. The only hiccup is that you really should have the latest version of the SL viewer to see this shoe correctly. I'm technologically challenged, and can't explain why, but without the new viewer the shoe looks like it's missing some pieces. But let me tell you, once that is taken care of, what a cute cute shoe! Additionally, check out the free Balmoral pumps as previously blogged by Nessa. Yes, these lovelies are free and come in a nice selection of colors. Check out Truth InWorld and OnLine.

Freebie: Hair by Truth, Outfit by *Icing*, Skin by Redgrave. Trainers: Hair by ETD, Hoodie by Truth, Shorts by Armidi, Skin by Redgrave.

Truth Be Told

Oooh, goody goody gumdrops! Another new player in the shoe game... okay, I can't say for sure that Mr. Truth Hawks is a player, what I can say is that he announced the release of some shoes yesterday and they are darn cute. And here they be, 2 styles both alike in quality - but unique in style. We've got the Newtown Wedges and the Balmoral Pumps, creator credits go to Ignite Nightfire according to the TRUTH Blog - I would confirm this, but I just can't seem to get logged in tonight - what's that about?

In any case the ones I am showing off are the scripted full color set dealies, and they are amazingly priced for scripted and sculpted shoes, so don't hesitate to get that version if you are even tempted to grab these puppies up. These are a really nice option for those of you that flee from the super high and dangerously pointy stuff. The cork soled Newtons are always a great option for spring, but I really like the daintier stacked wood heels on the Balmorals.

I'd name off all these juicy colors for you, but since I can't seem to log - lets just call 'em; Purple, Blue, Brown, Fuchsia, Green, Black, Red and Slate. Go get some at TRUTH.

Also wearing; PXL Skin, Detour Hair, Tres Blah Top, Muism Tank, 'Heart' Cupcakes Pants, Orchid Dreams Belt, Bangles by Argyle and Caroline's, Necklace by Chicoco. Review copies provided upon request.
