I can’t stop staring at these new Maitreya Bare Feet! The bare feet are so realistic and youthful, and so easy to wear. For these Bare Feet, Maitreya has added an additional Match + option on the HUD that can toggle the ankle gradient on/off. I’m wearing the feet with it “on” here, and I really like how it smooths out the ankle seam.

Everybody loves Bare Feet!

Maitreya – Bare Feet Tip-Toe

Maitreya – Nail colors

I love the nail colors on these toes! If only changing nail colors IRL was this easy!

Maitreya – Toes Close-Up

Although there are several Bare Feet in SL, these are my current favorite ones. I like the texture on these Maitreya feet, and also the length and size of the toes. It’s so perfect as it is already, the only thing I can think of that might make it “better” is more nail colors (designs).

I shot these photos with Light & Shadows unchecked (no shadows), and used the recommended skin preset for my Pink Fuel (Elly) skin in Honey. It matches perfectly with shadows turned off. If you like photos with Light & Shadows on (like I do), you’ll probably have to tweak the recommended settings a bit.

Treads has just released a gorgeous pair of 77 Loafers in so many colors, and I think these are unisex! Each pair of shoes comes in Small and Large size, but these shoes are also mod, so you can resize ’em however you want.

More yummy 77 Loafers colors….

These are available at Shoe Fair, so go check it out!

Shoe Fair 2011 starts today, May 14th and runs through May 27th. I’ve been going to shoe fair every year, some years with more enthusiasm than others. From what I’ve seen so far, the build is amazing and also, the shoes are the best they’ve ever been. I’m so happy some brands have totally new styles available exclusively at the fair.

Bloggers were given early access to the fair to check out the build & shop, so I tried to snap a couple of pictures of the build. Isn’t it stunning? This is my favorite shoe fair build, it’s so posh and clean.

These new LeLutka K.I.A shoes are so swoonalicious!!!!! These are the first LeLutka shoes with feet, although it is not entirely uncovered, I think this is a sign that LeLutka may have some more styles in the future that comes with sculpted feet. The textures & sculpts on these shoes are realistic and beautiful, and also comes with an easy to use HUD to tint skin texture and change toe nail colors.

I really appreciate the lil’ details like the slightly worn soles, nice zippers & sitching. A lot of people may never notice some of these this details, but I did and I love LeLutka so much for doing it.

My look is inspired by Pocky! I borrowed the look from Miss Shibuya Sugar (or more well-known as Iris Ophelia), I hope she doesn’t mind sharing some of her Pocky with me. They were $25L and they look exactly like the real Pocky, only it didn’t come with a Pocky box! 🙁

What I’m Wearing:

LeLutka – SJ Hair (Marilyn)
LeeZu – Paradii Dress (Snow)
Atypical Mouthies – Strawberry Pocky Stick
LeLutka – K.I.A
The Secret Store – Girly Briefcase (Mint)

Yum, yum!! The new Gos Curvaceous Boots are bootiful! I love that they come in baby Pink (the best color ever) and three different heel choices.

What’s your favorite style? Heel options: Chunky | Stiletto | Wedge

Gos Curvaceous Boots – All 10 colors available (shown above)

I’m thrilled the Pink color matches this (very old) Aria51 Outfit from TheAbyss perfectly. I’ve had this outfit for 2 years and 3 months now, and today, for the first time ever, I’ve just noticed that it has a THONG!

Sexay!

What I’m Wearing:

Maitreya – Saar (Platinum)
Laqroki – Vilda 03 (Fair) Glow Skin (Blonde)

Maitreya has two adorable footwear releases this week! These new Shearling Boots are gorgeous and is scripted to change Laces,  Metal and Straps color. This can be worn with alpha or (the old) invisiprim version – I personally love alpha cos it doesn’t interfere with poses or when shadows is enabled!

Here is a pair of Shearling Boots in Bistre with one example of what a simple re-color can do; the possibilities are endless with all the color choices offered.

Have you seen the new Maitreya Scrunched PrimSocks? These PrimSocks are scripted to change appearance to Flat, Tip Toe, or Hide Feet (to wear with any shoes). The cuffs are also scripted to change colors!

All the yummy color choices for the Maitreya Shearling boots. I think they look great with socks on than without!

LeLutka – DIELLICIOUS Jumpsuit / White

I loooove the new Anzhelina hat and Irinushka bolero from LeLutka. I saw someone wearing this and knew I had to have it! I’m normally not a hat girl cos I don’t like fitting hair under ’em but this hat is huge and fluffy! Lots of hairstyles will fit under here with minimal adjustments.

Hucci released a gorgeous new Naomi Dress with a sculpted prim top attachment that fits so well. My boobs are size 60, and I didn’t have to stretch this at all (I just moved it around a bit). I’m so happy one of the new SLink Blair boots (in Navy) matches perfectly with the Naomi Dress (in Klein Blue).

The SLink Blair boots comes in 8 colors and includes a HUD to resize, turn invisiprims on/off, and turn the socks on/off.

What I’m Wearing:

Exile – Bethany (Harlow)
LeLutka – Natasha (Hush) – Makeup4
