Shoes :: !! Luna Jubilee !!

I was so happy to see new releases from Indyra Originals. These two items I’m showing are my favorites from the new collection. When I first saw the top to the dress, I saw so many possibilities for adding it to other looks. In my opinon, the best part of this release are the shoes. They are done in a snake skin and offered in several different colors.  All the colors coordinate nicely with the dress, also in a wide variety of colors.

Tya sent over her latest release: Roxy Blade in white with color changing pompoms.  One of her last releases, the roller skates, I think I lived in those for about a week or so. Just like those, these are just as fun.  They come with a boot scripted with a skate walk (so damn cute). The color changing hud is cake too. Pick the color, then choose a light/dark range. Can’t get any easier than that!

I searched for the last few days between projects for an ice skating rink. Then it dawned on me. Edloe. Crap Mariner and Edloe’s residents have once again turned the sim into a fun winter scene. Don’t worry the fish are still biting.

I’m really not a shoe reviewer. Don’t get me wrong I’m so grateful for the shoes I do get to show off for the blog. So let me attempt this …

Here’s my say on the newness from SLink: I like! Go get ‘em!

Honestly, I’m diggin’ the prim foot. The ankle is well shaded, toes look well placed and the skin tones matched several of my skins with minimal effort! A “foot in shoe” purchase typically comes with a HUD. This HUD is laid out well and so easy to navigate. Tons of nail colors and variety. The skin tone change area is already loaded with several different tones. There is a slide indicator or color map to help match spot on with your skins. To be frank, that’s just fluff. I was able to find this skin’s match using the preset tones. Its that easy!

review281I decided to put together two of my current review pieces. Rebel Hope Designs has released new boots called Milan.  Theses boots come in a wide range of colors … and look great with the new release from Sh*t Happens.

Don’t go running off looking for the clothing just yet. Sh*t Happens launches this and more tomorrow at 12slt. There’ll be freebies, skins, outfits and tons more at the release tomorrow. Look closely, the skin is from Sh*t Happens too.   Too cute to pass up for an everyday outfit.

I had to get in a tutu and a corset for this post. Its way to fun skating around the grid not to be! I know pink overload but these skates from Pixel mode brought out all this silly in me.  Honestly, I had no idea that the walk in the skate was the skating action – arms swinging and all.  Really adorable!  Almost completely changeable – the laces, wheels, and stopper. Several different colors to choose from as well. The shoes are independent from one another so you can mix and match all you want. Buy the shoe color you want and off you go!

So skates my not be your thing; head to Pixel Mode for all the other offerings like furniture, shoes and clothing.  Oh yeah, the sim, I have one word – stunning!!

All you skate-wearers, be on the look out – Tya tells me there is another version coming soonish!!  Shh… I didn’t tell you that, k?

While looking at the newness, I found several items that are new to me.  I’m so happy I took the time to browse the endless store.  Please do when at AOHARU wander the aisles to see what you will find.

I didn’t lose my mind and permanently change into a giant oddly morbid stick figure … or did I?! Complete inspiration goes to the Burtonesque Photo Competition.  I have to admit at first I wasn’t really “into” doing this competition.

Well, that was until my partner (in crime and otherwise) Express had created the shape for me. I’m a huge Burton fan – love the movies and secretly fangurl the slightly insane genius that is Tim Burton.

May 7So why wasn’t into the competition? To be completely honest, I have no *insert curse here* clue. Maybe I needed a nudge to get started. The shape was exactly that stating point.  Thinking back on some of my fav Burton films like Edward Scissorhands and Beetle Juice, the makeup nearly leaped out of my inventory.

Keeping in theme of Beetle Juice, striped pants were in order to accentuate the long Nightmare Before Christmas legs. Everything else really just fell into place.  Really, all the textures, tones, jewelry all help tell the story.

Just like his movies, its all the little elements when added together make such an unforgettable impact.  The outfit in its entirety flows well … and eventho it is for the Buronesque Competition, its still pretty darn good.

If you see me out in this shape and look, please don’t stare. I’m self conscious … but really like the outfit! Now I know how all those “giant” shaped folks feel … perhaps we all are just little?!

Check out the competition – see the flickr group for the complete rules. the pics so far are very cool … I can’t wait to see the others. The contest ends later this month, but don’t wait – enter today! I should get crackin’ on my entry.

This is my take on Burton … now if I can only find a giant peach.

**You will be missed my friend.**

Kookie Lemon of *Kookie*, most notably known for her adorable shoes and boots has recently branched out into making clothing.  I’ve always enjoyed seeing when designers go beyond what they are known for to try new things.  Kookie has done just that, she’s started off creating simple tanks.  The best part: they are made on all the shirt pant layers!!

If trying her hand at clothing wasn’t enough, she kept up with her regular gig and released two new shoes. The shoes are inline with the new fade: Prim Feet.  The Chic Heels (shown in Creamy Latte) can be worn with or without the laceup option.  Also, there even is a bow for the shoe.  I choose the bowless version.

The next shoe release is called Vogue.  This pair unlike the Chic Heel has the full prim foot.  What made me do a double take on this pair was the “missing” heel.  Altho not really missing, the heeless shoe is the real design.  Kinda like having something that makes people turn their heads for the second look.

Before I wrap up the review chatter, the shoe HUD used to color the toes and tint the skin is unique.  The wearable HUD is so simple and, never thought I would say this about a HUD, but its beautiful with its nice art work. The skin tinting is cake; just rez the skin tone ball and a few simple clicks later, the skin tone matches.  It was so easy, I couldn’t beleive it and kept reading the included “how to” notecard.

I’m really liking all these new releases.  Kookie has out done herself! Keep up the great work, I’m looking forward to more new things!! Check out *Kookie*.

Oh my … new shoes, er, boots from Digit Darkes! Yes’m. Newness. Even thought is listed as a boot, I think its a more of a cross over.  This boot is an interesting hybrid of a classic pump and ankle boot.  Adorable to no end! The colors that I have seen are Raven, Charcoal (worn in the pic), Black, and White.  The shoe itself looks to remain the constant color in each of these.  It remains black as the remainder of the shoe is the color noted.  The best feature is the flexi bow that is woven into the top.   Oh yeah, you gotta love that there is a touch script for adjustments.  What a nice added bonus to the new shoe trends. So head on over to Digit Darkes for your own pair… or pairs, if you’re like me and need the whole collection!
