Come and visit: Glance skin

I decided to do a “Come and visit”  – blog  at least once a week – it is always funny to visit various places and talk about them whether they are famous or not doesnt matter – we focus on fashion, right?

Todays “Come and visit” is Glance skin by fabulous Joakim Asbrink and I am sure many girls from the grid already own at least one skin from Glance simply because it so realistic, hig quality and makes you look fabulous – always! Glance skins are mostly based on celebrity alike skins but lately Joakim created some skins that has more characteristic like  example  Ling – an high end asian skin with 10 different make up options:

Together wih Ling she released shortly after Caroline  – a skinline what is very feminine and soft spiced with a glimse of nordic look. Caroline comes in 10 different make ups:

Body of Ling and Caroline are  very nicely detailed and they are both shaved and has not cleavage options. As you can see, Ling is nicely tanned – like sunkissed I would say and Caroline´s skin is pale.

Ling and Caroline has been released in December 2009 – so they are still quietly new. So, Come and visit Glance skin and grab demos to see yourself what I am talking about.

Every girls dream: Stiletto Moody Shoes

Every girls dream in SL is to own a pair of Moody shoes like we dream of Laboutin or Jimmy Choo shoes in RL. If you wonder what I am talking about – Moody shoes – what?? Never heard of Moody before, then you have a very good reason to take a look at these pictures.

Before you do so, there are some good things to know about  Stiletto Moody Bare  series:  The bare feet part is adjustable for matching your skin via menu. There are pre-made versions ready for you to use from pale to dark black skintones and if they doesnt match your skin, you use the either the direct RGB input or use control freak that allows you to click the menu to make the skin brighter, darker, more red, more green, more blue or vice versa.

For the method of show color under cursor: bring up the advanced menu on your top SL tool bar using control+alt+D then select advanced…UI…show color under cursor. This will bring up a set of white numbers on the bottom right of your screen. Put your curson on your avatar leg, near the ankle where it will connect. Use the first 3 sets of 3 digits; for numbers under 3 digits, put one or more 0s in front to make a 3 digit number. For more specific quideline and pictures that shows how to do - please check out Stiletto Moody official homepage: http://www.stilettomoody.com/user-guide/

A fatpack is always a moneysaver and a fatpack is always good to consider especially if you are into modelling and you need all colors available for mix and matching for shows, print work etc. 

1. Moody Bare Lauren – Nude: Bare Lauren – a unique, classic and elegance pump for many occasion to use and is availabe in all the colors classic colors you can dream off. It comes with ankle band decorated with cute bows:

2. Moody Bare Katherine – silver diamante: Sexy sandel with killing heigh heels in diamond textures – available in gold also.

3. Moody Bare Ava – aubergine: If you think of Lady Gaga and her grazy cool outfit then Ava is the right choice! Spikey, dangerous and sexy shoes that comes in many colors. Buy a fatpack ;) .

4. Moody Bare Elisabeth – gold diamante is another  a unique, classic and elegance pump for many occasion to use and comes with band wrapped around the ankles with zipper pulls. Must have for you who thinks glitter and glamour.

HAPPY SHOE SHOPPING!!

My next step and Aimesi skin new release

Thank you all for contributing to make my closure sale to a big success and I didnt expect so many people coming and shopping at :: Aleida::. Was amazing and I was about to think : Why the heck do I close – but had to remind myself: I really dont have time at that moment to care for this kind of business. I have been asking if I like to open again and I say: Never say never ;) . Allthough my stuff arent gone forever because they are available in Xstreet and by searching for Aleida Rhode, you will find my collection and I will add more stuff when I have time to clean the inventory.

I love fashion and I could not leave SL fashion like that so instead of leaving totally,  I will spend some time to blog about SL fashion community news, product reviews or products that needs to be mentioned or paying attention to, show announcements, events and other stuff related to SL fashion only – when my time allows.

More about me and my doings in SL – see my profile picks in-world.

Now enough about myself – and time to jump to my first fashion review of the year. Let me present :

Aimesi skins by Mea Carnell who just has released 2 new skin lines : Crystal and Rabea which both comes in 2 different skintones : Caramel and Spice – both available in 5 (Caramel skins)  and 4 (Spice skins) different make ups. After I have tried them all – must say that they really are high quality skin and at a very reasonable price. We all have our personal tastes and my favorite here is Crystal in caramel tone – she has a really cute and wellperformed lips, the face and body shades are awesome and it is also like that with Rabea skin line. Get yourself a taxi to Aimesi Skins  and try out demos to agree with me that they are really good skins.

HAPPY SHOPPING
