Twisted Krissmuss comes to Heart & Sole


Twisted Krissmuss is a tour of SL stores working together for a common purpose: giving you a financial break during a tough economy. Each store is selling a NEW item of their usual high quality, but charging only 100L instead of their typical price. Our hope is that this will allow you to get a really nice gift for everyone on your list, without having to shorten it or give gifts that aren't as nice as you'd like.

Heart & Sole is very proud to be a sponsor for the tour, and I'm offering a new, exclusive shoe as my item. "Gifted" is a leather open-toe pump with tiny silver accents across the toes and a fat shiny buckle on the ankle cuff. Eight classic colors to choose from, to coordinate effortlessly through the holidays and on into the coming year.

I encourage you to visit the stores on the tour during your holiday shopping. Whatever and however you celebrate the season, we're all here for you.

Lucky you

Friday the 13th is good luck at Heart & Sole! I have two delicious new shoes for you!


You're slinking down the red carpet, lovely and bejeweled, smiling in the spotlight as everyone watching secretly wishes to be you. Let your feet be as decorated as your throat and ears in Drops. Sectioned leather bands hug your ankles and toes, and delicate chains dangle glittering diamonds that twinkle with every step. Eight camera-ready colors to keep you always ready for your closeup.



Broken is a sophisticated, sexy pump with a secret...a tiny broken heart suspended from the ankle, so subtle that only those who are really looking will see. And who knows what conversations that may start. Six sleek shades that will bend but never break. Stop wearing your heart on your sleeve.

Both these new releases are waiting for you now, so come on in and grab them! Also, don't forget,the Changing of the Seasons Hunt ends November 15th--there's still plenty of time to snag all the great prizes!

Lolita Ruff-Deadly...walk along a darker path



Remember that fascinatingly wicked little girl your mother wouldn't let you play with? She's back, and she's all grown up.

Meet Lolita Ruff-Deadly, the ever-so-naughty collaboration between Heart & Sole and Nightshade. She started out sweet, but she took a wrong turn somewhere. Classy heeled pumps and black lace ankle socks topped by a frilly ruff, with all traces of innocence chased away by the slightly sinister charms peering through the lace. In six savage shades for every sort of mischief you can imagine, and a few you can't...yet.

Be the girl who comes with a warning label. Lolita Ruff-Deadly, only available at Heart & Sole and Nightshade.

October fun & fashion

Greetings! What a busy week its been, with the Black Widow Hunt all over the H&S Sim, new stores joining our family, and the usual rush of the season! But I've been working hard for you and I know you won't be disappointed.

With the cooler weather arriving in my part of the world, I've had one thing on my mind--keeping your feet warm! To that end I have not one, not two, not three, but FOUR new shoes which include color change socks for a warm touch!


Lolita is as spunky and sweet as the name, with cute ankle socks to pamper those little piggies while you strut in style. Six colors to coordinate with everything in your autumn wardrobe, and plenty of choices for the socks.



Zamira is a fun, flirty platform wedge in three colors, with cozy knee socks attached. Just a click lets you change the color of each sock. Match them or go a little crazy and wear socks in two different colors!



Lisette and Niennra are black platform wedges too, but their socks have a difference. Lisette offers a subtle, fashionable stripe, while Niennra has a funky retro argyle look. Both color change, so they'll take you from one outfit to the next with a few clicks--if you can decide which color you like best!

Don't forget there are magic pumpkins appearing around the store at random--if you find one with your initial on it, grab it for one of three different styles of H&S shoes!

Stay tuned, keep warm, and remember I love to hear from you!

Love,
Bijoux

Fit to be Tied

Stop. Relax for a moment, slip into your new Tied shoes, and the day is saved. Tie those soft little bows around your pretty ankles, take a deep breath, and you're ready to have all eyes on you.

Be worshipped in Aphrodite


The fairest of the immortals, Aphrodite was the goddess of love and beauty. So powerful were her passions that she was unable to resist the beautiful, flawed humans who worshipped her. When her hunger became too great, she used her divine power to disguise herself as a mortal woman, so that she could love and be loved as we pale, fragile creatures do...with an appetite born of knowing that life is too short to waste a moment.

Walk as a goddess among mortals in Aphrodite. Seven mysterious colors and a million hearts to steal.

River Collection for your refreshment


We're on the brink of a blistering Indian Summer, so beat the heat by slipping into something cool and fresh. Introducing River, rushing straight to you from Heart & Sole and Kitsune Couture. You'll move effortlessly through the early autumn sunshine with this cute and casual look. River is a strappy sandal in seven refreshing colors, with a sassy little toe ring to complete the playful look. They coordinate beautifully with the tinted cuffs on the basic black River slacks. They're high-waisted to gently nip your waist and flow smoothly down your hips and thighs.

Autumn is almost here. Run to Heart & Sole to grab the River sandals, then dance across the bridge to Kitsune Couture for the matching River slacks.

Fallen--footwear for former angels

Once upon a time, there was a curious little angel who peeked through the clouds into Second Life...and immediately fell from grace. She picked herself up and strapped on the sexiest shoes she could find, and let them carry her off into her exciting new world.

Sure, you're an angel most of the time, but somewhere inside you there's a little devil who wants to come out and play. Turn her loose in Fallen.

Seven sinful colors to take you anywhere in your world, whether you're looking for heaven or hell.

Twisted Hunt starts Tuesday September 1st!

Heart & Sole is excited to be included in the Twisted Hunt, spotlighting the not-so-sweet side of SL. This is not a hunt for the faint-hearted, so put on your bravest foot forward--and I'll help you dress it up in my brand-new Locked shoes! Hunt starts September 1st, see the details at http://twistedhunt.dv8productions.net/

Look what's new for fall at Heart & Sole!

September means back to school for the kiddies, and for you it means new releases at Heart & Sole!



"Locked" is a classy open-toed heel that will take you effortlessly through the day, whether you're headed to a meeting in the boardroom, or shopping and lunch with your girls. Sleek and sophisticated, with just a subtle hint that you are not all business! Available in five rich colors, each with a tiny silver padlock to keep people guessing.



When the sun goes down, SL is a whole different world. Step into the night life in "Linked", equally stylish with a little more edge. Five decadent colors locked to your ankles with gleaming silver chains. Not proven to deter werewolves or vampires, but certain to attract the kind of attention you DO want!



When the mood calls for boots, kick through those autumn leaves in a favorite H&S style: Goddess, all spruced up for the season in 8 vibrant new fall colors!

As always, if you can't decide, go for the fat packs and save money while knowing you're ready for any outfit.
