Today, I'm here to tell you about a new group that's been formed in Second Life, and you just may want to join it, since it's free.

The group is called 21Shoe Event Group. Shoe designers offer two pairs of shoes for the price of one, and that, my friends, is exciting. Especially when you consider that I just received a notice that N-Core is offering two pairs of shoes on February 21. Tell me that these sexy shoes just don't make you drool!

So hurry, get inworld and sign up!

The other night, I was out ice skating at Calas Galadhon, who has their entire park beautifully made over for the holidays. As I usually do, I was camming around to see what was going on when I spotted an absolutely gorgeous dress. I promptly IM'd the woman wearing it and asked where I could buy it. Yes, I could have inspected it, but remember, I've been gone a year and these things don't always occur to me ;)

Anyway, it turns out that the wearer of the dress was also the creator, Maizon Rayna - owner of Terra d'ombrA, and the dress was her new creation, Isabelle. After spending 10 minutes gushing at poor Maizon (I've always thought she was one of the most brilliant designers in SL), I HAD to have it. It took Maizon a couple of days to announce Isabelle's release, but the moment she did, I was right there buying it. At $L650, it's a little higher than my normal spending allowance, but so be it!

If you haven't been to Terra d'ombrA, go. Maizon has created some stunning works over the years. Maizon is Italian and it shows in her styling.

Happy Monday my Fashionista friends!

It's no secret that I just love shoes & boots, which will probably be the main focus of my posts on the Virtual Fashionista. I own hundreds of pairs of shoes, so I of course have my favorite places to shop, but I am always on the look out for new designers - which brings me to today's post. Let me explain.

I am a member of Callie Cline's update group, and received a message last week about new items in her store, made by a new designer. Today was the first that I'd been able to get over there to have a peek, and am I ever glad that I did!

*swoons*

It was boot heaven! Fashionable, and AFFORDABLE! Take a look at these fine pics, generously provided by the designer Didi Morrisey.


Are you drooling yet?


These boots are absolutely fabulous for the price. I paid a mere 150L per pair for these. There are many color options available to suit every item in your inventory.


These Denim styled boots come in 5 awesome colors. They are 120L for each pair, or you can buy the fat pack for only 450L.

I have a collection of boots that I paid up to 10 times more for. I like these just as much. Granted they don't have all the bling options, and the scripts; but personally I am completely OK with this! The pay off is less lag & more money in my pocket. What's not to love about that!?

I love, love, love these fantastic summer sandals! Have a closer look at these items, here.

The set, pictured above (shoes, and handbag) can be yours for 180L.

I sent a note to Didi, asking her permission to feature the items in our blog. I had a fantastic chat with her. I was full of questions, and being the sweetheart that she is, she was gracious enough to answer them.

I asked Didi if there was anything she wanted us to know about her, and she replied, " I'm a simple, genuine crafter, not a professional builder; but I do love so much building and crafting even in my RL."

Didi also told me that she works with Aristaeus Corporation which is a Distribution Center for creators and sellers. And then I found out our very own HoneyBear is a distributor!

Along with the items previously mentioned, Didi has belts available at the Callie Cline store, and a small grungy collection at City 17.

I am looking forward to more fantastic releases from Didi!

Hugs,
