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

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

Yesh! New Stuffs!!!

I've had a buncha requests to have the dress in the 'Victoria' set in different colors...sooo...today's release is...just that. ;)

The Essential Sweater Dress (yeah...I couldn't think of a more original name :P) is a sexy, chic, simple sheath-style knit sweater dress designed to look great on its own...or as a beautiful palette for all those belts, coats, jackets, sweaters, ponchos, scarves...and all those other great fall/winter accessories you collect and seem to never use enough. It's a piece you'll find yourself reaching for again and again to put together that perfect fall/winter look...and I hope you love it as much as I do! ;)

21 Yummy colors are available (and a 22nd that went out just to CKSD group members) at the CKS Designs Main Shop in Selby as well as SL Exchange & OnRez for $L165 each...$L300 for a pack of 3...or $L1500 for the entire pack of 21. Some piccies follow...happy shopping! ;) <333

YAYYY Pretties!!

A couple of new dresses today @ CKSD!!

'Victoria' started out with just the sweater...a cropped, crocheted piece with sculpted sleeves and a little sculpted peplum. Then I decided it would pair nicely with a basic knit dress. Soooo I added a black, above-the-knee length ribbed knit dress with a sculpted turtleneck & sleeves...the sort of thing that makes a great staple to your fall/winter wardrobe. The sweater comes in 10 bright colors...and is itself a great piece that will find multiple uses in your inventory!! Here's a couple of pics: ;)




'Caroline' is a sweet, floaty little mod confection of a cocktail dress...a halter-style babydoll with a sculpted collar and flexi skirt that comes in 4 vibrant colors, as well as white. I've been wearing it around (even half-finished :P) for a cpl days now...I'm in love with it!!



'Victoria' is $L275/single or $L630/pack (which includes the dress plus 10 sweaters) and 'Caroline' is $L165/single or $410/pack of 5. Both are available at the CKS Designs Main Shop in Selby as well as SL Exchange & OnRez. Happy weekend! :P <33333

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
