End-of-the-year SALE!

Happy belated Christmas!

And to celebrate the end of the THIRD year of Clio in SL (yes, that's right, I started designing 3 long years ago :)), I decided to hold a big sale and to set all the prices in store to ONE THIRD of their original value!

All formals, casuals, and fatpacks are now 60 to 70% OFF!
The offer will be valid until the 31st of December... that just gives you a few days to come by!
The prices have been reduced both at my main store [TP to Sunrise Island] and in my Marketplace store :)

I hope this will make up for being unable to release new items before Christmas >.<

Happy holidays, dears!
With love,
Clio

It's Marion, not Marian!

Yes, it's definitely not maid Marian from out dear Robin Hood tale, although she could quite easily 'fit' a wood :)
This new cocktail dress has sleeveless top and a large and full prim skirt made of sculpted panels plus flexi panels that give some movement.

Textures are 100% hand drawn from scratch by me.
I put a resizer script in the skirt, so you can fit it to your own figure and delete the script once you're done:)
The outfit comes in 6 different colours and both as copy/no transfer and transfer/no copy.

Where to get it? Either [TP to my main store] or just click on the posters to be redirected to the Marketplace listing and buy online!

Also seen on Blissimo.

Enjoy!

Hello dears!

The skirt has a semitransparent overlayer over the skirt of a different colour.
As always, the dress has been completely hand drawn by me, and the prims arranged one by one.

YES! To Pink Shirt day!

So, I finally managed to get my hands on PC and uploaded a pink tank top I am having free in my store for a few days.
Why this shirt?
Because of the Pink Shirt day campaign, which is an RL campaign against bullying. The Pink Shirt day in RL is on the 25th of February, but it looks like it spread a bit later on SL.
Today there was a lot of noise about it on Plurk. Many posts were shared (Berry and many others...) originating from Lawless' post on Pink Shirt Day.

It is a bit late, but I think the message should be sent out, and it doesn't matter if SL's Pink Shirt day is going to be the 9th of March, as far as we speak up:)

Love,
Clio

Heart of Love goal was met!!!

Hello lovelies:)
I wanted to inform everyone that the Heart of Love goal was met yesterday!!!
I am so grateful to everyone who donated to help this cause, and to the group of wonderful people who have worked to put the whole campaign up.

All proceeds exceding the 'limit' that was imposed back then when we started will be going to RFL.
So, I will have my 4 Jacqueline Bicolour gowns still up for that till tonight, then will change them to regular vendors , and will be giving 100% of the income to Shir. This is a personal choice, not something related to Heart of Love. I just think I can help Shir a tiny bit more by keeping those dresses selling for her till the whole campaign is officially over.
I will still have the donation box in store for a couple weeks, and that is going to collect funds for RFL.

Again, for updates, here is a link to Flutter Memel's blog.

Also, I am going to take down the actual gift vendors tomorrow. I will place a new gift out (my Rezday gift:)) and then will be changing the gift once a week, picking among my regularly sold items:)
I hope this will spice the thing up a bit;)

Again a big big, deep and warm hug to everyone who contributed in allowing Shir to get her surgery done.

Have a wonderful day:)

Heart of Love releases

Jacqueline bicolour line has just been added on my store walls.
These gowns are something I have been thinking of for quite some time.
I wanted to remake the Jacqueline in new colours, and loved the idea of having a double coloration on the dress.
I always procrastinated the release of these dresses until now.

Why is that?
I found out a young SL content creator, with a very severe disease, is in the bad need to get a heart transplant.
This was shocking news. I am not too close to this person in SL. I have very few people I talk to on a regular basis, cause I am just like that. I keep on my own unless others approach me themselves. But when I realised what was going on I thought "Wait a minute. I have the chance to help Shir from home, doing my usual work".

Luckily enough, some friends of Shir's started "Heart of Love", a charity event dedicated to raising money to pay for Shir's surgery.

I have participated to many fund raising campaigns over the last 2 years. All through SL.
Loads of content creators have been raising funds for big organisations like RFL, Make-A-Wish, National Breast Cancer Association and many more.
For once, I am faced with a charity event that is very precisely oriented towards a single goal: give Shir a new heart.

I couldn't just let it go. I am a little peanut, and the dresses I can make and sell to raise funds are little peanuts, too... but a load of peanuts can make a big difference, and I really hope this action to help Shir will succeed.

I am selling the dresses you see on top of this post for 500L$ each, and I am giving 100% of the proceeds to Heart of Love.

I also have a donation box in my store, to donate smaller (or bigger!) amounts, that will directly go to the fund raising avatar.

If you have any questions about Shir's conditions, you can find some more info here.

[NB: the Black & White version is also for sale at Sweethearts Jazz Club]

New gifts in store:)

Hehe, some tiny news:
I have placed in my store a gift I sent out to group members for Christmas. It is now available for everyone who is in my group AND has my store in profile picks :) [here is a post about it]
The gifting script was made by PXL... and I have been using it lately... and will keep using it! lol.

Plus, still talking about new scripted things (always by PXL) I have out in my store a mailbox that will collect notecards and will send them directly to my email! Yes! It actually READS the notecard!

I love Hart Larsson for making that tool, lol... so everyone'd better start using it! ;)

Lots of love, and hoping to have many news soon!

Messy bag blogger's challenge!

Lol, ok... I am not a blogger (not officially, at least), but this challenge that's been going around lately sounds like fun!

So there's the messy content of my huge messy bag (mind, the purse is newish, that's why there was no random piece of paper with random info written on it... that's another 'must be in there' for my purses).

We have...

• My huge bag I'm totally in love with.
• An umbrella inside a shades-like case (ya never know when Milan is gonna start crying on you).
• 2 (yes, at LEAST 2) packs of tissues... I am constantly sick :-/.
• My shitty 3 years-or-so old wallet (full of receipts.. not too much money...).
• My house keys.
• 2 pair of gloves for my cold hands.
• A tube of hand cream (still for my cold hands).
• My super super old cell phone.
• My tiny and oldish mp3 reader.
• A little pen.

Lol, so, well, that's what was in my messy bag in a winter day...
And uhm... I guess I should start considering to replace my cell phone, mp3 reader... or at least my wallet! My stuff seems to be from a museum lmao.

What's in YOUR bag? :)

Merry Christmas, world!

Just a quick "Merry Christmas" to all those who are reading my blog ;)
The dress is a recolour of the Jacqueline I have made for my group inworld: Ice!
In the shot I am wearing Hart Larsson's gift to group: a very original frozen skin, my favourite one: Linda :) [available at PXL Creations for group members/subscribers who have PXL in picks :) ].

Hope you are all having a very bright day, and happy holidays!
Many hugs to everyone :D

Gwen, a new sassy gown :)

I have released a new dress just yesterday.
This is a design I have had on a hold since forever... months! And I finally found some time to finish it and put it up for sale :D
The top is simple, full of silky folds (as my usual, huh?) and comes on all layers. Same for the pants.
The prim skirt leaves legs daringly uncovered, but being it so large it also makes a good option for a dance in a classy club.
As always, 100% drawn by me.
Below are some of the 10 colours available, which can also be purchased as a complete Colours Pack.
See it inworld, here :)




And this is the poster to buy the Colours Pack :)

Hugs, and will be back soonish with new stuff!

Make-A-Wish new releases!

So, all this time I have been busy with my usual messy RL, and with THESE new releases I made to help raising funds for Make-A-Wish Foundation. Many SL designers (including me :)) have donated unique designs, limited editions or new releases that will be sold until the 31st of December, with 100% of the proceeds to help children through Make-A-Wish.

From the Drousilla, with suggestions and ideas from RubyStarlight Writer, I ended up with 2 very special dresses.
Drousilla Fire is a limited edition dress that will be available on the grid in only 15 copies.


Drousilla Night is the One-of-a-kind design I donated. Similar to the Fire version, but obviously unique. It will be up for auction bidding until the 31st of December! Hurry up! ;)


Then, a new release that will become part of my own line after this festival is over, is a big gown.
Floreale comes in 10 different colours, clothing on all layers & sculpted clutch.
I was feeling like big skirt and tiny prints, and so I made a big skirt and arranged thousands of tiny flowers on the dress :D





You can find all these things HERE :) Be sure to come by to also see the donations of my fellow designers, and to donate (even if not by buying :P)

With love,
Clio

Just sharing a picture I took in my new gown (teal colour).
I played a bit with inworld lighting and added some shadow during postprocessing... I think it came out good:)

Too bad my snapshots are always such low quality! LOL.
