Designing Women: Isobel DeSantis and Constanza Volare

Posted by Isobel DeSantis in General, News, Shows & Events

Connie and I are getting excited - well ok, I’m getting excited and I’m pretty sure Connie is too! :) Our Fashion Show is TONIGHT at 6pm SLT! We’ve rehearsed (yes, I NEED rehearsals to walk in a straight line! If you don’t believe me, ask Connie lol), decided on what we’re wearing and been given some great tips from Jewell and KandieKain of JM Models on how to beat lag. Now it’s time for us to put our Inner Control Freaks aside for a few hours and allow JM to continue the fantastic job they’ve done so far.

They did a wonderful interview with us (separately) and it’s posted here. The pic isn’t of us, it’s of two of the great JM Models - although Connie pointed out that if it had been us, in pose and attitude I would have been the one in red! Very true actually - she has me down pat :)

I’ll post the full invite later, but here’s the slurl and we’d love to see you: AlchemyAngels Fashion Show

(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 :)

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
