It’s not often I do a post solely (pardon the pun) about shoes, I like to show shoes with an outfit as part of an overall look. But these boots are worthy of a post by themselves!
Obviously, if you’re into horses, you should run, not walk, to get these in case they vanish. They are FREE, yes L$0 on the marketplace (link below). Not only that, but all the items in the eSSent marketplace store have just been set to FREE, so go and grab them now!
The detailing on these is absolutely superb, and I do mean superb! The stitching, fasteners, even down to the use of materials on the leather and the elastic closures at the back is nothing short of amazing. And if that’s not enough, they come with a universal color HUD with 24 presets. You can texture the boots, insert, top, elastic, metal, and the sole individually any color you like, so you can make these uniquely yours.
The spurs are a separate object, so you can wear the boots plain too.
Sizes for Lara, Freya, Isis, Venus, Physique, and Hourglass.

Here’s a very generous gift for teleporthub.com members! Teleporthub.com is L$10 to join, and I’m sure you’ve all heard me say before that it gives you access to dozens of creators all over the grid offering FREE outfits.
It includes the top, skirt, and belly chain, all sized for Lara, Freya, Isis, Venus, Hourglass, and Physique. The box also contains the heels, sized for each of the bodies listed, except for there are no fits for Slink. Strange.
An integrated HUD lets you pick from ten colors for the top, fifteen colors and patterns for the skirt, three metals for the chain, and ten for the heels.
There’s also a resizable belled choker in the pack which I’ve chosen not to wear.

Now for something completely different 🙂 This is a FREE group gift for the members of teleporthub.com. The group is a tiny L$10 to join, but it opens up a vast number of creators all across the grid that offer FREE gifts for members.
The outfit includes the bodysuit (for want of a better word), the hat, boots, and stockings. The bodysuit is sized for Lara, Physique, and Hourglass, and the boots are sized for the same three bodies. The stockings are in Maiteya and Slink appliers.
I hate hats in SL 🙂 This one, for some reason, has an invisible prim as the root, and it’s way off center from the hat itself, so the first thing to do is to move that root prim so it’s in line with the hat! Only then does it become easy to adjust the hat to your hair. And… this was not going to fit my normal hair without being ridiculously large anyway, so I resorted to my emergency “hat hair”. If you don’t have a copy of this, it’s certainly worth picking up for those events where you just have to wear a hat, and you can’t be bothered adjusting a hair to fit.
This is a FREE group gift for members of Fab Free. The group is FREE to join.
The top and skirt are separates, and both are sized for Lara, Freya, Isis, Venus, Physique, and Hourglass. The pack includes a HUD with fourteen colors for the top, and you can color the ruffle separately. The skirt also has two panels you can individually color, and the lace color can also be chosen from the same eleven colors.
The only tiny niggle with this is the sleeve ruffles are connected to the top, which makes for some interesting fabric stretch when your arms are up 🙂
Two days and two new stores! And with a bodysuit as a FREE group gift? How can I resist!
You could also use this as a one piece swim suit.
The bodysuit comes in sizes for Lara, Freya, Hourglass. and Legacy. It’s also a fatpack, with ten separate colors (all packed in their own boxes, another person that needs to discover the wonders of HUDS, hehe). Other than the boxes within boxes, this is a wonderful group gift, for a store that seems to be just starting out. And it looks like it’s original mesh too!
As your intrepid fashion reporter, I’m always on the lookout for something new. I’m not sure how I came across this store, but Cremosas is certainly worth a look!
The store seems to be running an Advent style calendar for the month of January. You need to join their FREE group to get the gifts, and here we are with days 7 and 8!
The skirt and top are separates (obviously, as they as gifts for different days). Both come sized for Lara, Freya, Isis, Venus, Physique, and Hourglass.
I love this pattern, and we are certainly talking my colors here!
It’s past Christmas, and perhaps many lights have faded… the winter is long and dark yet before the spring comes…. but there is light in the deep wood, if you are quiet… and patient.
As I roam about SL, and SHOP! I sometimes find wonderful little things that are JUST PERFECT and I know exactly what to do with them.
And sometimes I find things that are just perfect… but I know they need something… to make them sing, to make them truly come alive. I love those maybe the most — the mix-and-match, the outfit, the look that is truly one-of-a-kind, because no one else thought to put those things together
I’d been playing with the beautiful Opal Ice skin from Fallen Gods for months, and I’ve had the Snowflakes outfit from Caverna Obscura for a couple of years.
It was truly the beautiful Lightbringer antlers from Spyralle that made me know I had the look I wanted. They include a HUD to set the jewel/light colours at the tips of the antlers, as well as options with or without the headpiece and headpiece texture. I couldn’t resist the opal, it goes so well with the skin. Add to that a beautiful body shimmer from Stargazer, and.. presto.
Now, a quick word about Stargazer Creations: while they have a Marketplace store, it’s empty — and the listed in-world location is a sim that no longer exists. That said, Stargazer has booths at many of the events that I frequent, and have some remarkable things there. I’ll update this if I find a new in-world location, but you just need to keep your eyes out! Stargazer uses Omega Evolved appliers, but includes a Maitreya applier, too. I think it works really well, but try out their demo, and use proper lighting! You might try contacting the owner, Aggie Mactavish, to find out more.
This is another lucky letter win from the boards at Le Fashion Whore. I certainly had a productive 30 minutes there when I went to pick up my FREE gift card! If you missed it, see details of the FREE gift card here!
This top and skirt set are separates and come in sizes for Lara, Freya, Isis, and Hourglass. A HUD is included to change the colors of the laces, waistband and bow, and the top’s eyelets.
I’ve seen this dress before, I’m sure 🙂 But this is a very sexy design on the same model, so how could I resist?! And it was on a lucky letter board at Le Fashion Whore when I was shopping with my FREE gift card. If you missed it, see details of the FREE gift card here!
The dress is in sizes for Lara, Freya, Isis, and Hourglass. A HUD is included, and there are five fishnet colors, plus five solid colors so you can potentially wear this out in public 🙂 The same five solid colors can be used to change the lacing too. I’m always a sucker for corset laced things…
Also, note the fishnet is achieved with an alpha texture, so anything you have that’s alpha underneath will probably be invisible.
This fab outfit consists of the skirt and the top and long cardigan. Unfortunately, the top and cardigan is all one piece, but at least the skirt is separate.
Both pieces are sized for Lara, Freya, Isis, and Hourglass. Note that with the really long sleeves, you’ll need to wear your body’s hands (so I had to take my usual Slinks off and wear Maitreya) as the sleeves are rigged with those hands in mind.
There are two HUDs included, one for each piece. The top’s HUD include nine plain colors for the top, and four for the cardigan. The skirt’s HUD has the same four colors to match the skirt for the main skirt, ten colors to match the top for the panel, just slightly darker. There are the same set of panel colors for the laces, and three metal choices for the eyelets.
I really like the side split in the lower part of the cardigan 🙂
