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

It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year...

Of course I'm referring to football season...but...there is that whole Back To School thing going on as well...and in that spirit...a little mini-collection new today at CKS Designs.

'Student Body' is an adorable, colorful set of soft little cleavage-baring polos & glitch-pantless minis (white panties included :P) with plaid, stripe, & argyle patterns & accents AND some matching knee highs. Pieces are available as separates (sold in color-matched pairs), color packs (all pieces in one color-matched family) or the entire Kit & Kaboodle...prices range from $L40 - $L1000 depending on what you want.

I'm closing out with some piccies that'll give a little more detail here...all pieces/packs are available at the CKS Designs Main Shop in Selby, as well as SL Exchange & OnRez. Happy Thursday!!! <333

I Wanna See The Rest!!

A Little Sweet...A Little Spicy...

YAYYYy...a couple of late releases tonight @ CKSD...chock full of cute & sexy goodness!!

So...I love trying out new things...experimenting etc...and I've been wanting to delve into something like this for a little while. Hence tonight's first release, 'Domina'...a latex-y...skin-baring coat that comes with a little (very little :P) pair of booty shorts (though I find it equally at home with a pair of jeans). The coat has an open front...with cut-outs in the front and back. The version in the ad is a bit uhmm...nipply...but, at the excellent suggestion/request of the lovely Sasy...a more 'modest' coat is also included sans nipple effect. (A funny request for someone whom, on first viewing said...'dip the back more...show a little crack'...:P). I had a lot of fun working on this one...so maybe I'll delve a little more in the future...we shall see. Here's a piccie! <33


Today's other release is completely different from Domina...a cute little ballet-inspired sundress that I chose to call 'Sorbet' because that's what the colors reminded me of. The dress has a simple tank-style bodice with ribbon trim at the waist & zipper detail in the back, with a sweet little girly skirt overlayed with tulle and tried off with a big bow in the back. The dress is very short...but...if you're so inclined...it's perfectly wearable sans the included glitch pants. ;) She comes in 5 sweet & yummy colors...and here are a cpl piccies for your viewing pleasure: :P



'Domina' is $L245 & 'Sorbet' is $L140 single/$L350 pack of 5...available now at the CKS Designs Main Shop in Selby, as well as SL Exchange & OnRez.

Happy shopping!! <3333

ZOMG!! NEW STUFF!!

SO YAYYYYYYYYY...we finally have the new shop build up and going...AND...we've decided to celebrate with a 50% off sale!!

There's lots of newness (brief preview above :P) & lots of newly marked down items...and from now until 9:00pm Monday (7/14)...*all* of it is 50% off. So...get on in and have a peek and nab some bargains at the newly rebuilt CKS Designs...or have a gander after the cut for the longgggggg version of the newness!!! <3333

Sooooo I have a couple of collections and some hot kinis to offer up today!!

First up the kinis!
The Safari Bikini is made to complement the Summer Safari collection. It's a sexy-but-not-too-skimpy little linen bikini that comes with a matching sarong. I wanted to do a basic sort of tie-side bottom/triangle top...but I think the textures really make this one pop. It's available in 5 colors, $L210 single/$L525 set...here's a pic of the khaki one! ;)


I love sailor/nautical-style clothing...and I've wanted to do a swimsuit in that style for a while...hence the Sailor Bikini. This one ended up being my favorite of the bunch...with a cute little sailor collar and a very sort of retro look to it. She comes in three colors, $L165 single/$L265 pack...all of which are shown below!


Also made to complement a collection (Surfer Girl)...is the Surfer Girl Bikini. My plan with the swimsuits this season was to make some varied styles...and I really wanted something with a boyshort-style bottom. After playing around with a hibiscus print...I thought a sort of retro-surfer style would be nice...and I loved the print so much I ended up building an entire collection around it! The Surfer Girl Bikinis come in 11 colors, priced at $L165 single/$L825 pack. The blue is shown below!!


Last up is the Life Guard Bikini. This one's the skimpiest of the lot...it's designed for the girl who wants to show off that toned, tanned bod on the beach. Available in 4 colors, $L115 single/$L250 pack...all colors are shown below!


So...the Summer Safari collection is something I've been actually batting around for months...first in my head...and then finally I got around to putting it 'on paper' or...putting it to pixels...or...whatever...and then I decided I wanted a bikini to go with. :P

It features 6 pieces (Jacket, Shorts, Pants, Skirt, Halter, & Sheath Dress) in 5 colors. The pieces make for great mixing and matching...nice, summery wardrobe basics that should stretch your inventory nicely. Also...since the fabrics are matched to those in the Safari Bikini...those pieces will also coordinate nicely!! The pieces are available individually and in sets at various prices...grouped by color or type of piece. I'm selling it in the same way I did the Amarantine collection last fall...so you can get one piece in a single color...one piece in all colors...all pieces in one color...or just go for the whole Kit & Kaboodle. Thanks to Dot Lane for suggesting a dress...I think it made a great addition to the collection! I'm including a set of pics to give you some detail on each piece!!







And...the collection that was inspired by the bikini...as opposed to the other way round...the Surfer Girl Collection. It's larger than the Safari Collection...with 7 pieces (Hoodie, Baseball Tee, Shorts, Skirt, Capris, Halter, & Dress) plus some matching bangles...in 11 colors, at various prices...also available in singles, piece packs, and color packs. Like the Safari Collection...the bikini pieces will also coordinate with the collection pieces perfectly! Much more casual than the Safari collection, the pieces are sexy, skin-baring, & sporty...perfect for hot days & warm nights on the beach! I'm including a close-up of each piece here...in various colors!









AND...WHEW...there we go!! Remember...through Monday everything is 50% off...so get on in to CKS Designs!!

And If You're On The CSR Bandwagon....

Ok so I went back to Honey Kitty and went on a shopping spree and managed to collect more cards...*cries*...and of course I can't let unused cards go to waste...

...so my clever friend Furi informs me that if you attach a bunch of cards the thingie will stamp 'em all at once...so YAY!! And as you can see from the pic above you don't even look like a freak or anything!! Who cares if you run into your friends while traipsing around with 28225729752075927592798572985793272738 cards attached at various points on your body?! I mean one snarky remark and they're gonna be on the bad end of the biggest baddest paper cut machine in SL, right? RIGHT?!!!

Have fun CSR'ing! :P

I Wanna See The Rest!!

Stamp Rally Madness!!!!

Wheeeeeee!!!!!! I hope everyone's having a wonderful holiday season so far!! It's that time of year when rw is all crazy, and I've not been able to focus much on work...but I've been around a little to do some fun things in world! One of the most fun things I've done this past week is participate in the Creators Stamp Rally...and I enjoyed it so much I wanted to blog a little about it!!

The Creators Stamp Rally, or CSR, is sponsored by a conglomeration of 20 in world shops who are selling designated products that have a CSR2007 Winter Stamp Card inside the package. Each shop also has a stamping machine where you 'stamp' the cards you collect. Once your card has all 20 stamps on it, you can take it to the CSR Event Hall and redeem it for a gift of your choice (each of the 20 participating shops has donated a gift item)!! You can collect a gift for each card you fill out...and the cards are transferrable so you can share with your friends if you like! Or you can do what I did and drag your friends out stamping with you! :)

I had tons of fun running around checking out a lot of shops I'd never or rarely been to...found tons of great merchandise...and, best of all, found that the gifts themselves are very, VERY nice!! There's everything from clothes to skins to furniture to jewelry to guns and on and on and on!!

I'm including some piccies of gifties after the cut here...so give it a click if you wanna check em out (you can click the piccies for a closer look)!! The CSR Event is ongoing through 1/14/08...so click the link for more info and get out there and nab some goodies while you can!!!
