Erin go Bragh!

Posted by Isobel DeSantis in Casual wear, General, New releases, Shoes

No that doesn’t mean “don’t spill the Guinness”! According to wikipedia it’s usually translated as “Ireland Forever” but it’s actually a Scottish phrase. Aren’t you glad now that you read this blog? :P

Connie and I have our own translation: “Any excuse for a free gift” so here is our St Patrick’s Day offering, in conjunction with Erpla Prieto of Periquita

St Patrick’s Day

Connie has of course designed the cutest dress in the world, complete with apron (which does not mean I’ll be cooking anytime soon), Erpla has made a jaunty, sexy top hat for us and I have actually produced a pair of shoes with sculpty bits!

Everything is free of course and available at both our main stores until midnight SLT on Monday 17th.

Nearly forgot! There are Lucky Hearts still at Angels, filled with shoes from the normal range. I’ll be removing them when the sim to sim Easter Egg Hunt starts next week.

Have a wonderful, happy and fun weekend and …. Erin go Bragh!

♥ Izzy and Connie

(Angels) Remarkable Release - still 12 hours left for 50% off

Posted by Isobel DeSantis in Evening shoes, General, New releases, News, Shoes

Our update group and FashCon always get the first notices (join them both at the front of the store) but there’s still time to get your Remarkable shoes at 50% discount in (Angels) main store only until 7pm SLT today (Monday).

The original silver shoe was made for our EFADA contest entry and I’ve now released another 6 colours (including black of course). The delicate lacy pattern matches Alchemy’s Remarkable dress perfectly, and the heel tip gives another flash of colour. The shape is elegant and sophisticated with a slim high (but not too high) heel. No bling on this shoe either.

As you can see from the pic, it also goes with lots of other clothes styles (I’m wearing Alchemy’s Innocence in this one) .. I just love capris with heels! Oh and this pic is the very first one where I tried to be Connie. LOL she’s groaning now, I can hear her! She’s been very patient with me (you missed this exchange - Connie: “You need to get rid of that white border round your shoes” me: “It’s supposed to be there, it’s to light the shoes” Connie: meaningful silence). Well at least we have fun .. and you can laugh at my poster but behind my back please! :)

Don’t forget the beautiful Amor Valentine gift set (see previous post) is still available until February 14th. It’s moved to under the stairs, to make room for Remarkable. And don’t trip over the rose petals on the floor .. well, it just had to be done!

Pics follow and don’t forget, the Remarkable 50% discount is only available at (Angels) main store: http://slurl.com/secondlife/West%20Sunset/208/126/22

Limited time freebies and a joint new release!

Posted by Isobel DeSantis in Day Wear, New releases, News, Shoes

Great holiday gifts for 2 days only, new dress and shoes and an Advent Calendar stuffed with shoes! Yes it’s the holidays! lol

Now Connie and I live in the same country, less than 60 miles apart .. and we’ve known each other in SL since January, but last weekend was the first time we’ve met in RL! We had a blast and guess what we did? We shopped! For 5 hours straight! lol Connie, you rock! :)

So somehow with all that we managed to get organised enough to do a joint release of Charismatic, plus we have a stunning free dress available for 2 days only and matching free shoes. AND an Advent Calendar full of shoes! Phew!

Ok, Connie’s Charismatic dress is cute yet sophisticated, with puff sculpty sleeves and optional lace on the full skirt. In 5 great colourways with a contrast sash and bow. My shoes use the same colours in reverse for matching sets that can be dressed up or down, according to your mood :) We’d like to thank Grazia Horwitz for being the very first to blog this, even before we did!

Charismatic dress and shoes - navy/redCharismatic shoes - red

Our holiday gifts are firstly a stunning dress from Connie called Navidad. It’s elegant and sexy, with its low neckline, prim fur collar and choice of skirts. It’s so beautiful that we actually had a very honest customer query if we’d made a mistake on the price because she couldn’t believe it was free! :) The shoes are the same texture as the dress and have the white fur as a trim. The set is available for free in both our stores for 2 days only - i.e. until noon SLT on Tuesday.

The Navidad shoes will be available a little longer; until December 25th in the Advent Calendar at Angels flagship store only. The calendar contains Angels shoes designed especially for the holidays with lots of glitter and sparkle! Shoes will be given out randomly each day from now until December 25th, and everyone will get at least one pair of each style if you grab your gift each day. Note that due to the idiosyncrasies of LSL, the calendar changes date at midnight GMT, which is 4pm SLT. I’d like to thank Renee Roundfield for writing the great script for me :)

Salsa, anyone?

Well you can tell who’s the worker in our team and who’s the compulsive shopper/chatter! Actually I blame Fashionplanet, it keeps showing me new stuff to buy :P

And then of course there are all the Christmas decorations to buy for the store - that’s been so much fun! I finally got the new store open last night - it’s just across the street from the old one, you can’t exactly miss it :) I’m thinking of turning the old space into a skating rink/Christmas Wonderland feature for the next few weeks until Connie makes another 50 dresses and I have to expand the store again :P

Oh yes .. and I made new shoes! (See I do work sometimes). These are my favourites to date; I’m so pleased with the way the two-tone effect came out, especially on that cute flower trim. There are 5 colour combinations to match Connie’s fabulous dress plus Midnight Gold and Midnight Silver for those of us who can never have too many pairs of black shoes. My two faves are Tropical - a stunning hot pinky red and orange combination and Caribe, a cool Turquoise/Aqua that goes with a quite astonishing number of items in my wardrobe - sorry, inventory! Most of them also match several of Connie’s other dresses, as a bonus :)

The Dynamic Duo - and Gold Star/Starburst

Posted by Isobel DeSantis in Evening Wear, Evening shoes, News, Shoes

Yep, we used to camp and that’s how we met! :-) Then I seem to recall we would let each other know if we were by a lucky chair with the other’s name on it; I ended up with some very strange freebies, I’m not sure if Connie fared any better! lol

I remember very clearly seeing her first dress, Magic - I was stunned! I didn’t actually know until quite recently that Connie is a rl designer so I was more than a little impressed with her first effort. In contrast, my first pair of shoes were .. well, let’s say when I offered them to friends they suddenly found a reason to be elsewhere :-) I was probably the direct cause of several crashes around that time, as they tried to tp away! I still have those shoes, I should probably post a pic of them. Or maybe not. :-P

Dream was the first pair of shoes I was really proud of and they are still my best-seller. Connie’s clothes inspire me; I see the dress and in my imagination I’m wearing the shoes. There’s often quite a lag between that and actually creating them ‘cos I’m not the most disciplined of people :-) Gold Star was a natural extension to Silver Star (Connie always goes for silver/platinum whereas I’m the gold type) and in this pic it’s matched with Starburst, such a cute, sexy dress with its lace underskirt! The colour of the shoe here was requested by one of my customers and it’s named in her honour - Eternity :-)

Gold Star comes in 10 colours including black and Starburst in 8 starry shades :-P
