There is some crazy cute new stuff going on over at Truth (SLURL). For those of you who haven’t dropped by in a while, seriously, what are you waiting for? The man is a machine, producing like a maniac.

The Nomad Boots are TOO CUTE for words to accurately describe them. They’re PERFECTLY textured, casual boots with adorable buckles down the sides. I think these may be my most favorite shoes for this season. A variety of colors are available, everything from a pewter silver to a tobacco brown. At $300L a piece, you’re sure to want these boots for your winter-wear needs.

The Blasko Babydoll Jacket is a cute, chic jacket perfect for the girl that wants to stay warm, but still show off a little more than is usual for the cold winter snow. Maybe it’s time to find someone to keep us warm, eh girls? *hint hint wink wink nudge nudge* The jackets sell for $285L a piece and are available in TEN different colors, including baby pink, powder blue, forest, citrus yellow, blood red, chocolate and ebony.

Menno Ophelia’s kicking ass and taking names over at Kari (SLURL), his much anticipated shop that finally graced Second Life with its presence in July. Since its opening, Menno has made a ton of new releases (which can be found either at his shop or on OnRez) and his latest is definitely one of my favorites.

The Crate Digger bag, a trendy over-the-shoulder messenger bag, comes in six textures and two sizes, small for the ladies, large for the men. As someone who routinely carries a messenger bag in real life, this is definitely going to become one of my absolute favorite accessories… what can I say, I’m just… such a messenger bag whore. I admit it. I have no shame!

While all six textures offered on the bag are freakin’ phenomenal (Menno, your ability to texture knows no equal), my favorite is definitely the “soundsystem” one (pictured above, center right). With how many textures there are, this bag’s definitely versatile… and it actually FITS… that’s right. The strap is sculpted to fit like a glove, and boy howdy… it’s perfect.

Another thing I never did get the chance to mention in one of my more recent blog posts… the audio wire bracelet. Your DJ friends will LOVE it… and at just $80L, really… it would be the perfect, “Dude, you rock, have an audio wire,” anytime gift to give someone who really digs all things of the audio persuasion. And while you’re checking that out on OnRez, check out the trash can, Scribble bracelet, and Mixtape necklace too… just a few more things I friggin’ love that I haven’t had the chance to mention yet.

But that’s not all… no, I could go on and on about the awesometasticness that is Kari (SLURL). High tops, hats, jeans, hoodies, belts (BELTS… zomg, get the belts… they’re not on OnRez, but zomg GET THE BELTS!)… but I’d much rather you TP over there and bask in all of its glory the proper way.

PS: I know, I just went on a little tirade about the belts… I can’t believe I forgot to mention them earlier. There’s a WHOLE SLEW of belts at Kari (SLURL) these days… and they all come in three sizes - large, small, and curvy. And they FIT. Coming from someone who has never owned a belt in SL in her entire SLife, simply because they did not fit her bubble butt… they FIT. And I *LOVE* them. /endtirade

I’m a few days late on the welcome, I suck. :(

Ever since this picture appeared on Flickr, I just knew we were all in for a treat. And now, nearly three months later, here it is… Kari (SLURL) has opened its doors. And not only is Menno selling some seriously kick ass high tops… he’s also got some great jeans, hoodies, sculpted hats, and other goodies just a-deckin’ the halls.

Let’s just jump right into the meat of things, shall we?

One thing you’ll notice when you walk into the store is that each item has a notecard giver with further information. I found this very useful to check before buying because my first question was… are these shoes fitted for men or women? I am pleased to say the answer is BOTH! Each pair of these shoes comes in two sizes, small for women, large for men.

I’m such a whore for high tops these days, so I splurged on five pairs of them! I highly recommend you do the same. There are a bunch of different varieties to choose from, and at $250L a pop, they are VERY affordable. What’re you waiting for? Run on over to Kari (SLURL) and treat your feet.

I can’t wait to see what Menno has in store for us in the future, and boy is it bright. All of his hard work has definitely paid off… we’re so proud of you, man!!! Way to go, and above all, congratulations!

I know I suck and haven’t been blogging as much recently, but OMG I’ve been so busy working on my spring line, and meeting photo requests that I just haven’t had time! I promise, I have a few reviews in the works… one for the absolutely GORGEOUS Beauty Avatar skins, and a second for a FANTASTIC line of silks.

I am about to run off to work, but before I do, I wanted to make a quick mention for all you shoe whores out there:

Ignite Nightfire of Arcane (SLURL, blog) has really taken his new passion as a content creator by storm! If you get the chance today, DEFINITELY head on over to Truth Island and pick up one of these two babies:

I must say that the Newtown cork wedges are to DIE for, and the pumps are bloody fantastic. Each pair is available in eight different colors, or as a TEXTURE CHANGE (which is also bloody awesome). The shoes are available for $225L per pair, or $800L for the full texture change! *ALSO* Bonus…. if you join Truth’s subscribe-o-matic, you’ll receive a pair of the Newtown cork wedges in Lead for FREE!

Another thing I’d like to mention is that Truth (blog, SLURL) has also released MOAR NEW HAIR!!! *drools* Jennifer is most definitely my favorite this time around…

I am simply in love with all of these newest releases, and I especially can’t wait to see what other goodies are in store for the future. Mmm Mmm MMM!!!
