StyleCard: Solé & Party Girl Mash-Up


When invited to a fun midday Birthday Party for friend and colleague Giela Delpaso, I wanted to wear something fun and cute - and hopefully unlike anyone else at the fete. My easy solution is to mix and match from my inventory in a combination of favorite things that compliment one another. With these sexy new Stella slides from Asri Falcone's Solé line it was easy to put together a look and bring out the warm golden tones of the shoes, here in Maple.

The Stella are only Asri's 3rd sculpty shoe release, and her unique styles and shapes are pretty memorable. There is something undeniably yummy about the way the front of the shoe curves up to meet the toes and the ripples of fabric bunched across the front of the foot. I am also a big fan of the way these are textured to highlight those features and the array of great colors and color mixes available.

For my outfit I grabbed the bottom half of a favorite Alchemy dress, the fun dotted fringe at the bottom looks like party confetti to me and layers of tulle are always fun. The top an Armidi Gisaci square cut blouse, with metallic gold to add some more shine. Finally a few bracelets from UnTone and my much loved butterfly lucky chair hair from ::69::. (note: I made all but the white butterfly transparent, and then hand tinted it a golden shade to match my outfit)

Happy Birthday Giela!

StyleCard: Bax Boots & Bijou


Sometimes the right shoe and the right outfit seem to materialize at just the right second, and in this case it was worth staying up late to get them blogged. Bax Coen one of my all time favorite boot creators dropped her latest on me tonight, just as I saw the newness at Bijou come up on the feed. Off I dashed to get this amazing and versatile Phantom Dance outfit, and I couldn't be more pleased with the finished look.

Bax's Black Patent Ankle Boots have the most wonderful shape and texturing. They are an easy cross over for cutting edge fashion looks as well as those more intimate styles that involve latex, rubber and a whole lot of sexy. As with her previously released white version, you get a full range of colour customizing options in a convenient HUD format, and size and AO options too. One of my favorite features of the boot is the colorable optional lace topper, worked well with this look when worn two ways.

The Phantom Dance set comes with all the requisite layers and then some, it was my pick of the new releases because between the jacket, pants and ruffled blouse there are so many mix and match possibilities here. I added a few great bangles from DeLa and the amazing Hunting Cap Hair from Argrace (currently at Hair Fair).

Visit Bax Boots main store to get a pair of these hot things!

The Stuff; Giusia Skin, Argrace Hat/Hair, Bijou Outfit, Bangles from DeLa.
