Shoe Mania at Mea Culpa – Part III

A few ago Tatanka Kaligawa again created new objects of desire for us ladies… Shoes!!!

The “Bullet” shoes are the first of 8 new pairs of shoes out of Mea Culpas latest shoe release. The delicate fabric decorated with this amazing rings are perfect to wear for any style you want. The heels are not just simple heels, again we can see the love for details, wich Tatanka always adds on his creations. As always you can change the nail color to every color you can think of with the great HUD that always is included if you buy Mea Culpa shoes.

“Burlesque” is one of the 2 pairs that shoes no toes and is closed in the front. Never the less you have a possibility to use the great HUD to change the color of the little filigree flowers on the outside of the shoes.

The 3rd pair of shoes is called “Diabolo”. ‘The very expensive fabric really caught my eye on that one. Again we have kinda peep toes on this one and the nails color again can be changed with the HUD. The sweet lines with the bow in the front as well make a nice decoration 🙂 and the top part honors the shoes name, looking lightly diabolic 😉

The “Empire” design for me has a very playful touch with the neat ruffles at the top and the bottom part of the shoes. The wooden sole and the metal rings make a great addition and give this pair or shoes a very special touch.

Our next object of desire is called “Poison”. Very special for me on this creation is the light glow that goes over the shoes. You nearly get the imagination of a wonderful crystal decoration. The sole and heel are made of a metallic looking fabric. With all this amazing details and the special fabric, they are a little piece of art.

“Quasar” is one of my personal favourites with the cool fabric that looks kinda vinyl  and the huge spikes. A really cool pair of shoes that really should not miss in a  fashionistas shoe cupboard 😉 it as well comes with the great HUD that Mea Culpa always provides for their shoes.

The “Speed” design all the steel and chains really make this style interesting. A few color parts that you can change in color with the HUD make it possible to match this pair of shoes to every kind of outfit.

Last but not least I have my total personal favourite pair of shoes out of the 3rd Mea Culpa Shoe Mania… “Trex” have a real interesting fabric the reminds me of reptile skin. The ankle parts and the big spike in the back totally catched my eyes and I fell in love with that pair of shoes. Again of you take a closer look at the heals you can see the love for the detail that Mea Culpa shows off in almost all creations. The 3 steel lines make an awesome match to the whole style.

So ladies… grab your purse and make your way to the Mea Culpa Mainstore 😉

Wicca’s Wardrobe – Colorful Spring Mood ;)

Yes it is me even with colors *grins*

The weather was so nice and the sun kissed my pale skin and I remembered some of the latest releases of LeeZu and started to put some together 😉 Rare but true Wicca can go colorful and casual as well. The warm sunbeams kissed my face and decided to go red and yellow for a bit 🙂

The top is made by LeeZu and called “Miss Tre’s Blouse” in red. The sweet ruffles and the awesome sculpted collar really had the right touch for my spring look.  One of the latest releases by LeeZu were the “Cortez” pants here in light vanilla. You can decide if you wanna wear them with or without a shadow. For the belt and the straps on the right leg you have the possibility to change the texture with a HUD that comes with the pants. The belt and sleeves of the pants are made of awesome sculpties as well that give a lovely realistic look. To bring the yellow color more out I decided to wear the “Cat Tights” in yellow. To complete the look  I took the “Esprit de Sable” boots in red from Courtisane, “Ayana” in  messy blonde from Miamai and the left “Kayma” earring made by Finesmith Designs. The skin is my actual favourite still – the “Castalia” skin from Glam Affair 🙂

Now it is time to go for a walk and show off my new styling idea on the grid 😉

For today I would like to show you a few creations out of his new shoe line where him and her can go partners in fashion with a fabulous partnerlook for the footwear…

First design are the “Dragon Boots” for us ladies 😉 This amazing sculpted boots are the highlight for every outfit. Every part is very well-shaped in every little prim and all that lovely details show off the skills and the eye for the detail of designer Redclaw Inshan.

I was really impressed as I realized all the options that you get with this pair of boots… first, with the boots comes a HUD that let you change the colors for most of the prim parts to every color you can thing off as it works over a big colorfield that makes really every color possible. That’s not all.. also the basic color of the boots can be changed always to 5 brilliant colors so it will be always matching anyways what you wear 😉 The 5 basic colors are black, red, blue, green and purple and I will show all of them in this post ;). But lets take a closer look at the possibilities for changing the colors of the primparts… if you take a look at the picture above you can see that I shot 2 times the black basic with different colored accessories. On the left I changed spikes and chains to gold. So the great golden chains frame that awesome silver dragon that ornaments the outsides of the boots. On the right picture I kept the golden chains and changed the spikes only to a dark grey what gets the same awesome metal touch still. The basic fabric for this version of the boots is a plain leather one with amazing lights and shadows that bring out the dragon perfectly.

For the “Dragon Boots” also you can have a very special version… the “Dragon Boots – Dragonscale Version”

There we have already the other 3 colors beside red and black – green, purple and blue. This time the basic is not just a plain leather one it looks like a very well done dragonscale texture. For the accessories parts you also have that HUD that let you change the chains and spikes to each and every color.

The silver dragon that ornaments again the outside of the boots again is a totally highlight. If you take a closer look you can see how filigree and detailed it is! In the picture above you can see that you really can change the color of chains and spikes to what ever you want 😉

Now it’s the time for the males!!! 😉

Head up guys… there you can compete now with your girlfriends fashion and style! The “Spiked Dragon” boots for male open the world for the fashion aware males! The fantastic dragonscale texture also is the basic for the male version also, same for the color changing for chains and spikes…

There is only one light difference for the male version… the basic color keeps black…BUT the dragons change color! You can choose between 5 preset colors – silver, green, blue, red and gold!

If you take a closer look you also can see the realistic side of the shoes… at the inside of the boots there are no spikes at all as it would be really painful *grins* Even that detail was taken care of for males and females. So guys now you cannot complain anymore about not having stylish and extravagant boots 😉 With the “Spiked Dragon” boots you are definitely up to date!

Last but not least for today – the “Cobra” boots…

Again we have a plain leather version as a great basic in the 5 preset colors black, red, purple, green and blue.

As we have it for the female “Dragon Boots” you can change the color with the HUD for the prim accessories and even for the eyes of the snake. This boots as you can guess by the name have an amazing cobra that decorated the outsides of the lower legs.

Again… it is amazing how very well every little detail is done.. for example take a closer look at the snake head.. you can change the color of the eyes as I mentioned and also you can see the sharp poison fangs very clear.. simply awesome! And all boots can be resized via the HUD too that is delivered to every pair of boots!

Ladies and gentlemen… make your way to the R:A:D Mainstore and take a look by your self on that great boots who re displayed in glass vendors to take a real look on them… dare to use the arrows and you maybe will find even more styles and versions of that great boots 😉 and stay tuned on new releases 😉

I am very happy that I am now allowed to show you this great shoes that are perfect for the summer! As a little special release surprise I was asked to be part of the NARDCOTIX MANA Blogger Challenge (for more information please visit http://nardcotixsl.wordpress.com/)

The first 3 entries with all the questions correct get their pick of a MANA shoe pack.But now lets take a look on the great new shoes 🙂

This incredible sandals come with a lot of  features and a very great HUD that’s very easy to use and also in laggy places it is still to handle! The the menu came up very quickly and still worked and not too slow. The HUD itself is self explaining and good to handle also easy to use.

They are wonderfully made and have so nice details that they look very realistic. The shape of the toes is beautiful… the toes are not too long also not too short ..perfectly 🙂 They are wonderful and I tested it for a few days also I got the extra nail polishes.
The menu is very easy to handle and very good to understand. Also the adding of the new nailpolishes is very easy and good to do.

You have the choice to change the color of the leather straps to black or brown, you just need to click on the strap for the buckle. The studs also change colors between old gold, silver and bronze.  Simply click on the top back stud to get the pop-up menu.

Two separate color packs will be available, one being a suede finish and the second a canvas finish. To change the color in the color packs click the top prim of the bootie to get the pop-up menu.

A nice addition are the above mentioned extra nail polishes that extend the possibilities to match each and every outfit. There is a basic nailpolish set and also different nude shades included but for the special nailpolishes you have to get the extensions packs.

 Nail polish packs give NARDCOTIX MANA’s a unique variety and new twist on SL toe-shoes.
