Perfect Pumps and Poche

  I just wanted to quickly share these shoes from LVLE.  They have been out for  little bit now and I meant to blog them earlier but RL has been punching me in the face repeatedly for a while now and I never got around to it.  I am making sure i show them now though because YOU NEED THEM.  Who am I to not inform you of what you need?  That would be cruel.  You would never know you needed them unless someone told you.  You would suffer your whole life wondering "Why me?  Why is my life so full sadness and despair?" when really all you needed was these pumps.
  OK, maybe I am exaggerating a tiny bit, but they are really, really nice.  There are so many awesome stripper heels and goth heels and spiked patent leather dominatrix shoes and basically all kids of shoes but few make a basic pump these days.  I love these because they go with SLink feet (basically any shoes I buy these days so, gotta be honest) and they match a ton of looks, even with jeans and stuff.  There are lots of colors too.  Check them out at LVLE.

  The little food set up is free from Poche.  I pretty much just put it there because I feel obligated at this point to have food with my shoe posts.  Also, it's free.  And it's from Poche so you know its good quality and original mesh.  Om nom nom.  I've never had mincemeat pie but I might try it for Poche.

Oh, Stephani.

I like taking pictures of shoes.  I don't even have to wear clothes on top.  It's just boom, look at the shoes, cam in close, take a pic, done.  Since I am lazy that is a very good thing.  Another thing that is great for lazy people is shopping on the marketplace.  So getting shoes delivered right to my Linden home without putting any pants or hair on and not having to see other people and attempt to act like a human around people is the best.  These shoes are some you can find on the marketplace by Vikki Placebo.  She makes some pretty great things and I wish she would make lots more so she could get like SL rich, lol.  Then again when it's a store not as many people know about it I can feel special keeping it to myself. :3  But since I am nice I blog anyway. :P

The shoes are unrigged mesh, come in several colors for 250L each, come with multiple sizes, and are copy/mod.  You can get them HERE.  My projector box that I used for the photo is from Status poses and comes with five poses inside, is copy/modify and 350L.  You can't see much of it, and I have yet to fully figure it out, but so far it seems pretty cool.  You can get it HERE.  Other projector box types and poses available.

This Is Halloween-ish

Hiiiiiii!  I have some new mesh lovelies and a couple free things and all the awesome sauce for you today.  My dress and boots are both mesh and both from Dilly Dolls, though they are in different places.  The dress is one of the colors available of the new mesh dresses from DD at the Cinema event.  If you haven't been to this event...why not!?  There is really something for everyone.  The boots are a remake of the Sonata boots that I adored when they were first made with sculpts.  This time around you have the ability to use a hud to change the color of every part of the boot.  The stripes can change to one solid color or alternating colors.  You can also change the color of the boot trim and the buttons going up the back of the boot. Then at the Zodiac event is this lovely hair from Alice Project.  It is texture change via hud as most of Alice's hair is.  There is a style with bangs on it available as well.

My skin is a hunt gift from Fierce in the Resting Place event.  The event is like a haunted house/maze/puzzle game and the prizes aren't that easy to find in many cases but the event is great, prizes or not.  My lollipop is from the annual free Halloween treat bucket at Schadenfreude.  Get the bucket for 0L, click it, get yourself some fun stuff!
Enjoy!

Bootsies

Lassitude&Ennui has new mesh boots out for sale.  I am loving these boots!  They are so tough yet so feminine.  That is a hard thing to accomplish!  There are lots of colors available and they aren't super expensive.  They have lots of size options too so if you have tiny legs or thick ones you should be able to find a fit.

Check them out HERE.

SHOES

I have acquired sooooo many shoes lately.  Some I bought, some were gifts from friends, some were freebies, a couple were review copies...they are just clogging up my inventory with their awesome.  I figured it would take me far too long to do a post about each of them and, frankly, I don't have time to post every single one even if I tried.  So, I chose the five most recent acquisitions to show you in one convenient spot!  First off, these Khan heels from Ingenue.  They are mesh but they aren't rigged so you can fit them easily.  Lots of nice, earthy colors.  I like how they did the spike on heels trend without going way over the top and making it look like a biker porcupine.

Next I have these shoes from Lassitude & Ennui.  These are the version that come with foot and toes are rigged mesh so that the foot actually moves with your leg and bends nice and doesn't look too Frankenstein-y.  There is also a version without the foot part and only the prim toes that is not rigged so you can move it around and do what you want with it.  They come in lusty colors like red, gold, purple, silver and black and you can change the toenail color via a hud.  The foot/toes are tinted via the same hud as the toenails.  It uses a color picker system but you can enter RGB if you like that too.

Now for some not mesh stuff! Haha.  I like the color combo on these boots from Loordes of London.  It's fun to see the baby pink and blue with the tough boot style.  They are only 50L, along with a few other boot styles, at the Love is In the Air event at the Cupcakes sim but the 24th is the last day so hurry!

Also at the Love is In the Air event are these cute boots from Duh!  They are only 10L. :O  There is a pink version also.  AND as a bonus I noticed a free pair of flats at the booth as well.

Finally I wanted to show these awesome/whacky shoes from Hate Me and Eat Me.  If you have read my blog long enough you probably know I love them for the out there styles they always bring and this time is no exception.  These shoes have a prim foot part, which is good because they way they push your foot forward just wouldn't work without it I don't think.  They are click to resize and the skin is tinted via a color picker hud.  They are available in a lot of very, very bright color combinations and since I am a huge fan of bright colors that is a total win.

I hope you find something you like!

I Can't Help But Smile.

I have a secret.  Usually when I take photos I take them from the waist up.  Why?  Because I hate trying to find shoes to wear. You have to find the right style, then it has to be the right color, then it has to fit, then you might even have to match the skin color.  Ugh.  Too much work.  Every once in a while I will like a shoe enough to not only wear it but to actually take a photo of it and write words and stuff.   The latest shoe to make me smiley-happy-writey-bloggy?  Kalnins Lizette. 

 I am wearing the fat pack version here.  It comes with a hud that allows you to change the skin tone, nail colors, metal colors and options to change three separate areas of the shoe/strap colors.  There are about a kazillion color combinations you could make with the 12 color choices.  I've showed a few of my faves here.  The pair on the far right has the "shiny" option enabled, which gives the whole shoe a more "glossy" appearance.  If you don't need ALL the colors you can choose the classic pack which comes with red, gold and black, pretty much the necessary show colors for any woman.

I found the hud to be easy and the scripts didn't lag me even when I went to take shadow pics.   The classic pack is only 475L, which is a pretty dang good deal.  The fatpack is 1200L which is also a pretty great deal considering you get what amounts to a bazillion gazillion shoe options. xD  Oh, and the skin tinting was easy.  Really easy.  I wouldn't have blogged these shoes if it wasn't because if I can't get the feet tinted properly on any shoe within a MAXIMUM of 5 minutes they go in the trash. :P

Love Thursdays

I have no real clue what a "Love Thursday" is but Isabeau told me a bit about it and I figured I could show some stuff I love this week. I was talking to a pal about our love for system skirts, so I figured I would wear one today! I know a lot of people are so not into the system skirt but I feel it is misunderstood. It is really the only way you can get a sleek skirt look without going the way of the crotch flap. I think A-Bomb does a lot of great system skirt dresses, like the one worn below:

So cute! The dress and shoes are a new release too!. A-Bomb is great for retro and subculutre-embracing styles so you need to check them out now. The shoes are color change, BTW. YAY! I also really love this hair from Vanity Hair. Every time there is a new release she outs a version of it out for 1L in an exclusvie color. Can you beat that? Heck no. I got this style in the exclusive dollarbie color when it came out and had to go back and get the black pack later. it's just too fun. The pocket watch necklace is from another fave of mine, DM Designs. There is something super fun about pocket watches and having it as a necklace is even better. YAY Again!

I also wanted to show another love of mine via face shot close-up. One thing I love is unusual and unique skins. When people think of "unusual" they often think of outrageously off the wall skins with florescent makeups and such; I, on the other hand, think of places like Skin Within who do skins that are made to represent real life looks in such a way that they became against the norm. We all know not everyone has a teeny, tiny slope nose and perfect cat-shaped eyes in real life. Skin Within embraces that and makes skins to fit all ethnicities and races. I am wearing my normal shape with the Amelie skin but when you purchase the skin a different shape is included. These skins are really unique and great for role play or everyday wear.
Dress and Shoes: A-Bomb
Skin: Skin Within

Hair (pic 3): Lamb

Note on system skirts:
To make your butt not look gigantic in a system skirt, all you have to do is lower the size of your butt and saddle bags by a few points until you get the level of "flatness" you want. Your shape should either be modifiable or should have included a system skirt shape when you bought it. If your shape is no mod and you don't have a skirt shape I would suggest contacting the creator of the shape to make you a skirt version!

The Happy Widow

She sat in the graveyard, gazing at the sky, hand folded in prayer. Those who saw her on his grave assumed she was praying for his soul's safe journey, for comfort, or even cursing the heavens for taking him away; they were wrong. He was gone and her prayer was a prayer of thanks. She was thankful the poison was strong....and undetectable. She was indeed a happy widow.

Love this outfit.
