You Witch!
Oct 7th, 2008 by Gabby Panacek

This didn’t start out as a halloween post.  In fact, I’d planned to blog jewelry and shoes.  For now, though, I’m going to blame Callie Cline for the change in plans…Just as I was about to take photos, she sent a group notice about a sale on her latest Swan Song dress.  So I dressed quickly and tp’d over with no shoes, no AO, no facelight…I might as well have been naked.  But just inside the door, I found this adorable broomstick…and here we are!

The outfit is from a new-to-me store called The Bunker, and they have a great selection of mens and womens goth and punk outfits, seperates and accessories.  I’m wearing the Carved outfit.  The texturing is well done, as you can see from the lacing on the corset, and the prices are exceedingly reasonable.  I’m certain this outfit was under L$200.

I love the Wish hair from Katat0nik, for a couple of reasons actually. First, I love Katat0nik’s sense of humor and style and second, I love special-occasion items.  I actually bough this hair to wear to my friend Nimil’s birthday party.  The best part of Wish? It’s all scripted! Change the hair color, the size, the color of the stars, the ribbon, the lace, the bow…change it all…as often as you’d like!

But the shoes that inspired the original post could not be left out, because I simply can’t bear to take them off!  Tesla Miles is a sculpted-prim genius and she has once again outdone herself with the new Hylda booties.  The are available in 9 different colors including two snakeskin textures that are to die for gorgeous!  From the inside zipper to the horse bit detail around the heel, every detail is well thought out and executed precisely.  You will definitely want to add these to your fall and winter wardrobe!

My Personal Trainers
May 17th, 2008 by Gabby Panacek
Call them what you will…trainers, sneakers, tennies, running shoes…I love them! And I’m especially a fan of good old Converse All Stars. (You just can’t beat a great pair of Chuck Taylors!) So, when I saw these sneakers on Sofia’s blog, I immediately jumped on Pyper with a torrent of ZOMG’s and Squeee’s. I knew right away that I had to have a pair…and they are every bit as fabulous as I had hoped.

To showcase the shoes, I decided to put together a totally casual and comfortable look, perfect for lounging at the house and trying to get a little work done.

Keep reading after the jump…
I headed out to DeLa* where I picked up this great tank and scarf combo. I love shorts, so I was having trouble deciding between the cute and baggy black ones or the totally comfy cargo shorts. Which do you prefer?

Let’s talk about the shoes. These are from Urban Bomb Unit and are the PornStar Xtra Hi-Tops and they are Unisex. Every piece of the shoe is modifiable via a scripted menu. You can modify the size, wear them straight up or folded down, change any of the textures individually, change the laces, the lace rings…everything! I had so much fun mixing and matching textures and in then end, for this look, I settled on a very tame Falu Red and Burberry Plaid.

The attention to detail on these shoes is fantastic. Check out the scuff marks on the toe of the shoe…even a little handwritten “I heart my shoes” written in ballpoint pen. I mean, who didn’t write on their shoes in high school?!?

So, if you need to give your tootsies a break, slip your feet into these adorable shoes…and then have fun playing around with the options to make them uniquely yours.
Oh, and while putting this look together, I couldn’t help but stop in AnaLu and pick up some new poses…yeah, like all of them (gasp!). Ana Lutetia makes some great poses and even offers a free-to-use photo studio at her main store location. And if you really want to keep up with all of the new releases, be sure to check her blog…this girl is quick! quick! quick! when it comes to reviewing all of the latest and greatest from SL fashion designers.
