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

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

New Essentials!

Ok so I'm a lazy blogger & released some newness yesterday @ CKSD but didn't blog 'til today. ;)

After I made Essential Sweater Dress, I started thinking that I might consider other pieces that are designed in the same vein...that is...not really to be *outfits* or separates made to be the *focus* of an outfit...but more basic pieces designed to be used for layering, building, & accenting. I consider it sort of a project for me to work on over time...building an inventory of versatile little essentials in a variety of color options...something I work on as the ideas come...and hopefully something people out there find to be useful little staples of their SL wardrobes.

Soooo...what I have today is the Essential Wrap Sweater. It's just the sort of thing you love to have, especially in the spring and fall...to throw on over a shirt...to dress up your jeans a bit...to toss into your car so you can pull it out and put it on later in the evening when the air gets a bit chilly. It's sexy & smart, a piece that's equally at home with slacks, skirts, or jeans...casual or more dressy...work or play. I decided to make my version a bit cropped...with a wrap front that'll show off whatever you want to wear beneath it nicely...but that will also nicely show off your cleavage if you wanna throw it on and go out to a club. I topped it off with sculpted sleeve poofs that hit just above the cuffs...and made the sweaters themselves modifiable just in case you want to shorten the sleeve cuffs and just have the poofs with whatever you wear beneath peeking out.

It comes in 22 yummy colors (and a 23rd color *just* for CKSD group members)...and it's available in singles or color packs at the CKS Designs Main Shop in Selby as well as SL Exchange & OnRez. Singles are $L90, 3-Color Packs are $L165, or you can get the whole Kit & Kaboodle for $L865. I'm leaving you with some piccies to show the color range available!! Happy Tuesday!!! <33333










...and...the teal...only available to CKSD Group members:

Available at the CKS Designs Main Shop in Selby as well as SL Exchange & OnRez...for $L225.

I've Been In A Football Frame Of Mind...

...and today's release at CKS Designs is reflecting that a bit. ;)


So once again a small idea blows up into a big one...and what started out as a pullover with changeable letters...ended up as an entire collection of separates. I showed my friend Dot a piccie of the pullover when I'd first started working on it...bemoaning the fact that I was having brain block when it came to thinking of a name (at that time it was still *just* the pullover :P)...and she came up with 'Old School'...which was faboo & perfecto and I begged to be allowed to use it. :P

'Old School' is a sporty collection of separates that make me think of crisp nights & cool days...pep rallies & bonfires...back to school and, of course, football. Pieces include the original pullover with changeable letter...a turtleneck with sculpted collar & sleeves that makes a great wardrobe staple for fall/winter...athletic-style shortie-shorts w/side stripe detail...a teenie cheerleader-style mini that you can wear with or w/o the included panties o.O...and some high-on-the-thigh snuggly fuzzy socks that come with and w/o the contrasting stripe detail. I've been wearing them all week...and it's making me ache to slip into cozy sweaters rw...still a tad too warm here though. :(

Pieces are available in a variety of colors, centered around 5 color combos...and can be purchased separately or in bundles of type and/or color...or the big 'ol Kit & Kaboodle. Prices vary, depending on what you want. I'm including pics of the color packs here...it's the best way I know to give you a peek at everything!!!






As always...it's available at the CKS Designs Main Shop in Selby, and will be up on SL Exchange & OnRez sometime tonight. Happy NFL Week One weekend! ;) <33

Sculpties?!

Bleh. So I've been dealing with an early fall cold that's kept me sidelined and/or in a semi-comatose NyQuil fog for the last few days...BUT...I managed to get out a new outfit last night that I've been working on that marks my first foray into sculptie prim use (Dun dun dun...scary!).

'Parker' is a pantset with a tank top that was giving me some issues. It's a really cute, sweet little top...with a lace front and bow accents...but I wanted a bit of a flared bottom with little ruffles. Initially I tried using the skirt layer...but was just...not happy enough with my results...then decided to bite the bullet and face my sculptiephobia...and see if I couldn't get something more to my liking with it. (Huge thanks to Phay for the sculptie advice...it was a godsend!! <3333.) Sooo after much fiddling and tinkering etc...I got a result that I'm pretty happy with!! So...the tank has a 'finished' bottom...making it wearable with or without the sculptie bottom...anddd I paired it up with some low-rise plaid pants that have optional sculpted flares. All in all...I'm tres happy with it...esp the top, which I've been running around in with my Gidget panties. :P

Anywho...she comes in 8 colors...$L195/single or $L750/pack...available of course at the CKS Designs Main Shop in Selby, as well as SL Exchange & OnRez. Leaving you with some piccies!! <33333
