Wheeeee more newness!!

So as promised...a cpl more new dresses today @ CKSD! ;)

First up is a little summery confection with a dangerously cleavage-y square cut bodice. It didn't start OUT this cleavage-y...but...I kept adjusting...and adjusting...and then I LIKED the cleavage-y so there it stayed. The texture on this one is a soft 3 color gradient that sorta reminded me of those rocket pops we used to get when we were kids. (And well...if you don't know what a rocket pop is uhm...look here!) Therefore, I decided to call it 'Rocket Pop'. Cos hey, once I have a name, who am I to question that?!! It's finished off with a floaty layered prim skirt and I am just LOVING this dress. Summer can't come soon enough!!! This one comes in 4 yummeh colors:






A little while back, Tesa Jewell blogged about these fantastic go-go boots from Kakaue Kreation which of course I had to run right over and purchase. Back when I started designing, mod-era clothing was something I was very inspired by and I did a lot of mod designs...and these boots inspired me to want to make more! One of the first designs I ever made (long before I started blogging) was a dress called 'Mode' which featured a vertical half-black/half-white pattern. Since I HOPE I'm a better designer than I was in early 2006...I decided to do another version using this same color block pattern...hence 'Mode II'. It's the first time I've ever done a new version of an old design...I feel so OLD! :P It's not a redo of the original but rather a different style of dress using the same color pattern. This one is a sleek, short mini with a halter-style bodice. I bemoan the sl templates which allow us only one sleeve and one foot...so I couldn't make contrasting sleeves or tights...but I still think it's pretty hot. ;)


'Rocket Pop' is $L140/single or $L280/pack of 4 & 'Mode II' is $L140. All are available of course at the CKS Designs Main Shop in Selby as well as XStreet SL

Happy weekend! <33

YAY Newness!!

Whee some new pretties today at CKSD as I get my butt in gear to get a pile of stuffs done today!!

I've been eagerly awaiting spring/summer and well...these releases show it for sure!!

I've been wanting to do a new schoolgirl set for a while...and so had an idea for a shorter-length stripey sweater...and decided to experiment with that...and...I'm SOOOO thrilled w/the results. 'Teacher's Pet' is a set I'm loving...with that stripey sweater that comes in a plain version and a version with a shirt beneath that includes sculpted cuffs & collar. I also added Sasy's fave (well maybe it's just Mel's fave :P): a no-glitch skirt with contrasting solid/stripe texturing and some matching knee-highs. (Panties are included of course...should you have the desire to wear them. :P) As I said, I'm really very happy with how this one turned out...especially the color combos...of which there are 7. Here come some piccies yayyy!!








I had an idea to do a cute, ruffly top with stripe & polka dotty patterns...and once I started on the textures...it kinda turned into this cute tube top that has a folded down front detail with a babydoll-type ruffle. I'm really happy with how the textures came out on this one...there's a big 'ol cutie-cute sculpted/flexi bow on the back which I love. Of course the tube is totally finished and wearable sans ruffle too! I decided to call it 'Bubbly' cos that's how it feels to me...just light and happy and summery and well...bubbly!! 10 colors available...check it out!:












Teacher's Pet is $L260/single or $L910/pack...and Bubbly is $L110 single or $L550/pack. They're available of course at the CKS Designs Main Shop in Selby as well as XStreet SL. Stupid Cupid and Stella are now also available at the main shop...and I'll be setting up an RFL vendor area there soon!! Happy Shopping!! <33

I feel pretty...


...ohhh so prettyyyy!!!!

I haves another new pretty todayyyyy...a sweet little dress I decided to call 'Stella'...it's a sheath-style cocktail dress with a one-shouldered bodice that ends in rhinestone trim & three thin straps in back. It's very understated...with an asymmetrical system skirt and a little sheer shoulder pouf providing some extra detail. It's available in 5 colors...plus an extra RFL Exclusive color (shown above) that's only available during RFL season. ;)

Right now it's only available at the CKS Designs RFL Clothing Fair location. Once the fair's over it'll be available at the CKS Designs main shop in Selby.

Individual dresses are $L165, with the pack of 5 (which doesn't include the RFL Exclusive) going for $L415. I'm gonna leave you with some piccies and urge you to get out to the RFL Clothing Fair if you haven't!! <333

80's Fabulous!


RFL Season is upon us...and as usual it's kicked off with the RFL Clothing Fair!! If you haven't been yet...what are you waiting for?!!!! There's tons of yummy stuffs to be had...and you can feel good about shopping b/c it's for a great cause, right? RIGHT? Right! ;)

Sooo...I've some newness today that can be found only at the CKS Designs RFL Clothing Fair location for the duration of the fair. After that (the fair ends on 3/22) it'll be available at the CKS Designs main shop in Selby. ;)

I started this set during February...and like a lot of things it started out as one piece with a heart pattern...then evolved into a set. I decided at the time to call it 'Stupid Cupid'...but yanno...as we all know sometimes life gets in the way and I ended up not finishing it before V-day...BUT...I'd already gotten a substantial portion done so well...it's hard enough naming things anyhow...so the name stuck. :P

Sooo what's I have is a long-sleeved, thermal tee with sculpted cuffs...a short vest...tie...jeans & skirts & sculpted slouchy socks...and it's all really reminiscent of 80's style. Menswear-ish...vibrant colors and patterns...big ol slouchy socks...skinny jeans & denim minis adorned with little patches. It's a very fun set with pieces that are like, totally going to integrate into your wardrobe!

Also there's a set of RFL exclusive colors/patterns that will only be around during RFL season...so best snap those up while you can...and remember...all proceeds (100%) from sales of the RFL Exclusives go to the SL Relay For Life campaign.

SO...I'm going to close out with some pics...starting with a shot of the RFL set then some shots of individual pieces on down! Come on out to the clothing fair and support RFL in Second Life!!! <333











Individual pieces range in price from $L35 to $L120...the RFL set is $L375...and the wholeeeee Kit & Kaboodle is also available for $L1500 (the K&K does *not* include RFL Exclusive colors). As I said...right now they're available at the CKS Designs RFL Clothing Fair location...and they're also available at XStreet SL. Happy Shopping!! <3333

*tap tap*

Is this thing on? K...good. It's been so long since I've blogged I wasn't sure. :P

In fact, my holiday hibernation has been so long that I felt like I had forgotten how to do a number of things!!

BUT....I have a couple of new pretties tonight @ CKSD. I always seem to come back to life around Valentine's Day. Not sure what it is...it just seems like I always have this overflow of ideas for V-day themed things...and this year is no exception!! There's more in the works...but...some uber cuteness right now! ;)

I love boy-themed undies...so this tomboyish lingerie ensemble was a no-brainer. It's called 'Love Bug'...and includes two little cropped tees (one of which is raised to show your bewbies o.O)...some boy-brief style undies...and OTK socks...all adorned with little ladybug & heart graphics. It comes in 5 pastel-y colors...and I happen to think it's utter cuteness on a stick!! Here are some piccies!!






Tonight's other newness is actually kinda sorta oldness. Ever since I released the 'Pristine' lingerie set...I've been beset with requests to offer it in colors (the original came only in white)...so I decided to oblige. There's a sweet girly pink & ravishing red (in honor of the season ;P)...and also 3 other sweet & sexy new colors! I'm dropping the pics below here...this is one of my very favorite sets...so it's pretty fun to have more of it! Thanks to everyone for the requests & suggestions!







That's the goodies for tonight! 'Love Bug' is $L180/single or $L450/pack of 5 & 'Pristine' is $L225/single or $L675/pack of 6...and both are available at CKS Designs in Selby as well as SL Exchange & OnRez!!

Happy Friday! <3333
