I’m wearing Sorento, the newest Rock Me Amadeus mini dress for each photo.   The front has a sexy V-shaped plunging neckline while the back is more of a rounded scoop style that sits right below the shoulder blades. For greater visual effect, the front and the back each have 2 vertical lines of stitching that you will notice also on the bodice. The prim piece that makes the skirt of the dress is expertly made and blends in well with the textures of the dress. In my opinion,  Sorento looks as great dressed up as it does dressed down.

I dressed Sorento up with this new Shot Jacket  from ::Poised:: . The deep green “army” color of the dress is a nice contrast against the  ”Magenta” color  in the jacket. Can I add,  this jacket is quickly becoming my most used jacket in my inventory. I wanted to say a little something about the skins because they are fairly new. I’m wearing “Amy” from ABS. There is a slight purplish hue to the pale skin I’m wearing which  definitely makes you stand out and be unique. The face is dusted with freckles. The makeup is mostly high fashion. With the rest of the makeup’s being a nice natural or base skin.

Sorento is  available in a wide palette of colors. so I suggest you stop into the new Rock Me Amadeus main store and look at these for yourself. XO’s. Vi

P.S. Someone asked me earlier about the shoes when I was wearing the blue version of the dress around. I *believe* they are only available in the fat pack. Stiletto Moody likes to spoil us when we get those uber expensive color sets!They are the Bare Olivia line.

First on the list are these 2 simply gorgeous outfits designed by Indyra.They remind me of the old times fashion ,I can even say that is kind of a masculine outfit but in the same time one that fits perfectly the woman body too. These outfits are called Sia and as you can see from the pictures I got it in 2 different colors ,so you can see better all the details .First color is called ash and the other one fog.. The thing that I love the most at these new releases,is that you can wear it in multiple styles,so you don't need to look so formal ,you can simply take off the cloak and get let's say ..more “sexy”. If you like them,it means it's time for visit Indyra.

As you might know I am mesh addicted.There is no reason for me to lie ,I simply love mesh items .Luckily I got these new boots to present to you ,that were designed by Insolence .They are called “Nina” boots and you can see all the colors in the picture under the text.You need to try these ones in order to find out what mesh represents for second life.

So I only presented you today's main store Indyra and Insolence,but together with them Redgrave and Truth helped us creating this style card by providing us skins and hair .Take care until next time ,and don't forget to stay stylish .Love you ,xoxo Ama.

Hello all you beautiful GLANCE readers. Hope you enjoy my look of the day. I was feeling a bit shy.

{.essences.} Dharma skin for VF 2011 * NEW * & * PROMO * * ONLY available at the Vintage Fair! * Get it here Vintage Fair {.essences.}

Lets start with the outfit. I’m wearing a new dress from Countdown called Boulevard. Boulevard is an amazing, high fashion dress from designer AntoniaXp. The  strapless bodice ( bodysuit )  is made of fine fabric that is ruched and adorned with a red bow on chest. The ruched fabric travels down into the skirt. Which is gathered in the front and showing off the underpants of the bodysuit. The skirt flows over the hips and bottom. It looks like petals cascading down over each other. Feathers are added on the underside of the skirt to add to the dramatic appeal of the outfit. The black fishnet stockings are included in the purchase.  The hat is adorned with tiny red petals. 5 curled stems emerge from the middle petals and tiny pearls decorate the tips.

Pearls, I love pearls. … So that brings us to the amazing jewelry I’m wearing from FINESMITH. The precious metals in ASIA seem to have been forked in design somehow. With a pearl resting in the middle of each fork as well as on the tips. Each piece of jewelry has three layers of this design. One of top of each other. Silver makes up the first and third layer with a layer of black metal in the middle. Each layer is slightly offsetting the other layers. The result is this amazing creative design that only Yula herself could have created. These three layers of precious metal are connected to band around  a large pearl. ASIA set includes a matching ring, pair of earrings,   and a necklace.

And finally, I wanted to say something super quick about the glamorous skin I’m wearing. You can get it for 70L at the GLAM Affair Sim. Limited Supply so hurry.

XO’s

LAQ Has made a name of itself in Second Life as one of the highest quality skins you can get. Tekla definitely lives up to the expectations that we have from LAQ. I just want to remind everyone that I edit my photos. Simply  because I love doing it! However, by doing this it can occasionally remove some of the detail ( like veins and etcetera ). This is the most true in skins. I urge you to try a demo. If you like the skin in this post, I promise you, you will LOVE THE SKIN on your avvie. There is so much more amazing detail that doesn’t come through these photos. I am a smooth aholic. FYI, I edited the full body and the style credit photo. I left the make up options photo unedited for your pleasure.

If  you like my chunky jewelry make sure to stop into primalot. You’ll find lots of goodies there that are all  texture change.

PRIMALOT ‘Sahara Breeze’

Have you ever wondered…?

I run GLANCE International Agency since August 2008 along with an awesome group of men and women who each bring their very own unique and valuable skills to the agency. Some of us had a meeting yesterday: Amalia Foxtrot (GIA Head Blogger and GLANCE Magazine Head Stylist), Honey Bender (Faster Pussycat – kickass designer – and GLANCE Magazine stylist), Princess Pierterson (GLANCE Magazine fashion stylist), Trage Cline (GLANCE Model Academy Education Manager), Violet Batriani (GIA Blogger – chic chick!) and me (Patty Cortes.)

Among upcoming projects for the agency, we discussed the latest trends of the SL Fashion industry. We talked about meshes and some said that they love it and others expressed interest in learning how to create them.

In short, it was fun (these ladies just rock and I’m lucky to work with them.)

Something I love about meeting them, is that it always generates interesting discussions. We often realize that while we all are SL Fashion community members and professionals, we do not have the same vision of the SL Fashion industry. It is fascinating to get to know each other better and exchange ideas. And we would love to explore some of these topics further with you.

Indeed, the discussion we had yesterday quickly moved to the money-making side of the SL Fashion industry.  One would say SL fashion models make the money; others would say SL fashion designers make the money and some others would say SL fashion agencies make the money. For each point there were valuable arguments – and replies on how they were not so valuable (it was a hot debate, people.)

• There was a point when the discussion would evoke “famous” models and how they guarantee money to fashion designers, whenever they are promoted through brands, so they supposedly receive money (linden dollars that is) and tons of free gifts in return (worth thousands of linden dollars) – it was the argument of those who believe SL fashion models make the money.
• An other discussion point was events considered as “huge” by the modeling community, where the events’ organizers were charging to feature designers – it was the argument of those who believe SL fashion agencies make the money.
• Finally, designers are supposedly hiring “famous” models and “famous” agencies to generate money – it was the argument of those who believe SL fashion designers make the money.

So after yesterday’s meeting, we were wondering what you, as a valuable SL Fashion Community member would say about this. GLANCE International Agency’s Business of Second Lifeâ„¢ Fashion  red hot question #1 is…

Who do YOU think really makes big bucks in the SL fashion industry?

What do you think, personally? Your opinion matters to us!

Leave us a comment below on who you think makes money in the SL fashion industry and why you think so.

We look forward to hearing from you!
