Shoe Fair: The Location

Shoe Fair’s theme is country and spread over four sims. The four sims are decorated with large barns that are booths for the designers and haybales for supporting creators. Along the path there are also fences, silos, and cornfields. Not only do the sims load in super fast but look just as good. Its honestly a pleasure to wonder through the dirty tracks to each of the barns.

To learn more about this fair, check out my Shoe Fair Series. Below the cut find out who this shoe designer is, the fair location and the style details.

Shoe Fair: The Designers

Over 50 shoe designers are participating at this year’s Shoe Fair. These designers are spread over four sims. Between the shoe designers there are other non-shoe creators also showing their products. These stores are on the haybale clusters dotted along the walkway. Tons of things, just not shoes, are shown at the fair.

In my all my past posts and this one, I’ve used one of those creators that you can find on the haybales. Find out who these two designer are that I’m showing off today after the cut.

Shoe Fair: The Charity

The reason for this year’s Shoe Fair is not only for all of us to collect stunning shoes but to help support a real life charity. This year’s charity is Soles4Souls.

Soles4Souls collects gently used shoes to be distributed around the world to those in need. For every $1usd donated equls a pair of shoes. Imagine what everyone can do if we all buy just one pair of shoes at the Shoe Fair … and you know, no one is walking away with just one pair!

Check below to see who this designer is that I’m showcasing and the LM to the shoe fair.

*review* Indyra Originals

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.

~Review~ Pixel Mode’s Roxy Blade

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.

*Review* SLink Jolie Pied Achillia

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!
