Come and visit: Meghindo´s

Todays “Come and visit” is Meghindo´s – if you are into glamorous dress ups, then  Meghindo’s is the right choice for you. Stay tuned – read more here:

The designer behind Meghindo´s is Meghindo Romano

~ a sl child who is fascinated by fashion & elegance and who in SL tries to bring some of the best gowns on the market.

- known for the detailing in her textures & the glamorous designs. Going to Meghindo’s is like entering a luxury clothing store and prices are more than affordable, because they are starting from 250 per mini dress up to max 500 L$ as the highest price.

- the winner of the BOSL designer challange no 3 ~ the 20’s fashion ~ may let you think that she’s a very serious persona without any fun in her life but actually if you get to meet her you’ll discover a young girl that basically does her thing in this SL fashion industry without taking it too seriously in the meantime, she’s just having fun with it.

About the brand, Meghindo’s has started as ” Meghindo’s touch of sensuality ” but since it’s SL & we like to cut it short  and in no time the brand was known as simply “Meghindo’s”, maybe because of the fact that Meghindo herself was always in store ready to help customers with any issues they might have, so it was like going to a friend & go back home “in style” how she says. With those being said,  I am sure that you will not leave disapointed out of Meghindo´s 7 stairs store filled with glamorous stuff – so worth having a visit.

And it is getting better – quess what? She is having 50% sales from 12th – 14th February with her Pre-Valentine Vanda Gown and Night Scene Collections.

I played and mixmatched with 3 of her dresses: Grandise, Brooke and Donna in Red:

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.

Landmark: Glance skin

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.

Closure sale

Dear all :) )

First of all : I want to wish you all a Merry X-mas and prospecterous happy New Year with lots of love:

It has been a while I have been thinking of this: Shall I close my shop and leave SL?? The question popped up in my mind for a while now – actually couple of months – so this is not something that just came in my mind today and quick decision made.

Now I feel it is a mature time to say: Yes, I close my store and focus on my RL which I have been too much away from due to SL business. It has been a great learning experience for me: What I have achieved in SL has affected my RL in many ways and most of them are very positive.

My achievements in SL:

Model career at Ewing Fashion Agency, Avenue Models, SuperElite and BlackLace Models.
Winner of:

Hair Fair 2008 picture contest
Miss SL world 2008 for Second Avatar
Black Lace model search Fall 2008 runner up
Finalist at Miss Virtual World 2009 – represented Denmark
and many other thing I cant remember right now but was a memorable time for lifetime.

Opened shop in March 2008 : Fashion Nomads and later :: Aleida ::.

Want to thank all my loyal customers, friends and businesspartners for cooperation.

SO…

Now, my store will be closed after 31st December and thats why a huge sale is starting from now on – every thing off 40-60 % – the skins also.

I have created a lot of stuff and when my time allow I will add my old stuff in store for sale at a very cheap prise along, so dont be surprised if there are new stuff u havent seen before in store – they arent new – just old added back.

Big big hugs to all of you,

Ale

PS: I will be in SL nearly daily untill 31st December whereafter I will log in some times to take pictures and just to explore SL.

If anything, plse dont hestitate to contact me via E-mail: aleidarhode@gmail.com
