More than just Scintillating, and Sexy

Stiletto Moody shoes and designs are in a class by themselves. One of the first things I notice on a woman is the style of shoes she is wearing, because it usually says alot about her. Truly a statement of class and distinction. Along with subtle sensuality.

It has been said that these shoes are way to high in price but I can't begin to tell you how much money I have spent in her store. However, you will find me going back time after time to see if she has anything new for my girls. From elegant formal wear to chic casual wear she simply hits the mark each and every time she releases a new style.

The texturing and sculpting is very complex and detailed but her lines are smooth and flowing. No gapping floppy heel syndrome or box like edges.

These are two of my favorite styles right now and you can find them in an array of colors as well as highly detailed scripting.

First the Ruby Red Elegant slingback for 975L
Purely delicious. Sleek and elegant. They really show off a womans sense of fine style.





















My Second choice and is simple semantics when trying to decide which style is best. It is the Black Tie me up Stilettos for 950L offering the same fine options in color and scripting.

So if you haven't gotten yourself down to this amazing and talented designers store. Please follow the below URL.

Her larger dress collections with many outfit mixing and matching can go for over 1000L but she breaks them up into smaller sets for about 450-600L and her swim suits and jeans are less.

Opening of the Fashion Raiders Blog

Aloe started the Fashion Raiders group in Second Life to share her love of fashion with the rest of the world. I, Lexie, joined it shortly after it started being an avaid shopper of SL Fashion. Along the way we have traded fashion advice, I got her into a normal skin, she tickles my fancy with her "parade float" dresses, and share landmarks like crazy.

We both have our own unique outlook on fashion and the way we dress. But we share a common love of fashion and clothes. We decided to create this blog as an extension of the Fashion Raiders Second Life group. We hope to enhance your SL Second Life Experience and our own.

Several things we hope to do:

1. We will be starting with a list of our top 10 fashion picks. Do not get us wrong we love to shop else where, lots of other places, but these are always fall back places for us. This will include a picture of an outfit from each location.

2. Weekly Aloe and I will be going shopping at the same location/store. We will then take photos of our purchases and show what we each come up with from the same location and how different or similar they can be.

3. Boot Janus, a shoe and boot lover, will be covering every womans favorite, SHOES! He will report on a different shoe maker and what is out there to cover, reveal, and show off those pretty little toes.

4. Accessory Round Up: What outfit is complete without hair, jewellry, handbags, belts, and whatever else you might think of!

What you Should Expect:

We are both dancers at a club! So expect everything from wild and kinky to runway fashion! Aloe likes to change her look alot so skin changes, eye changes, shape changes, extreme hair changes, tattoos. My base look does not change much same skin with different make-up looks, red hair, green eyes. I am however a bit more diverse then Aloe in my fashion choices a bit bohemian, a lot of chic, a dash of elegance, and just a hint of funk and soul to round it out. Always very pulled together and finished looking.

If you have ideas please let us know! This blog is to help you so feel free to contact either one of us in Second Life at Aloe Stradling or Lexie Jansma. We are looking forward to feeding your need for fashion!

Lots of Love
Lexie
