Jacqueline finally out!

Ladies and gentlemen, the final version of the Jacqueline gown is out, with 10 new colours.
I changed the flexi from the freebie I have in store, and now it has many more layers to ensure a better cover while moving.
The skirt is also designed so that you can sit without the fear of seeing your flexi sticking out of your behind (lol), cause the 2 prim attachments are set to be worn on your upper legs.
I wanted to keep the gown as simple as possible, because it is mainly a try to see how I could come up with nice shadings for a satin long dress. I only added some little pearly details on the hips, low back, gloves, and on the black tiny band that passes around the waist.
Again, I had some girls helping me with the modeling (old friends of mine, now, after all the shooting they did with me:)), and I have decided I will write the names of the models on the posters from now on... so the ladies can get some credit:)
Here are the colours, afterall.
Have a look at them, and come get your own Jacqueline at my store (SLURL to the right) if you like one:)

Free (well, almost) Gown out!

Hello everyone!

I am already working on a new design, it's going to be a formal gown.

I plan on making it available in 10 colours, and since I had a spare one, I just decided to have it out as a freebie!

Yep, it's already in my main store, I might place it also at the Shop&Jazz, but haven't done that yet.

As you can see from the poster at the bottom, I am still trying to improve the textures, and it took me some hard work to get to the right shadings for this one! I just need to improve my designing skills some more, before starting to concentrate on my actual style:)

But I try my best to make my items as pleasant as possible, and I hope the effort is worth something:)

Come and grab your own copy of the gown at my main store: you can follow the link on the right part of the page (SLURL).

Take care!

Porta Romana City Outfit

Hi Hi ^^
This is the second outfit of the line I'm making, dedicated to the city of Milan.
I'm still in a 'back in time' mood for my Milano City Outfits... first a toga-like dress, now a 70's outfit...
I tried to keep up with some other fashion houses and added sculpted legs and sleeve cuffs, I hope they came out right:)
Again, all handdrawn, trying to get better... who knows when I'll be satisfied of the shadings.
Let me know what you think! Lol, whoever reads this blog!
:) here are the colours.
To buy any of them, use the SLURL on the right of this page:)

Evelyn Gown revised and out!

:) Here is the Evelyn Gown retextured:)
I redid all: both the tops, pants, prim skirt's texture.
This time the waistband is not there... cause I wanted one of the 2 tops to be 'plain'... :)
I hope you like the new pattern... I think it adds some character to the gown, strengthens the sensation of 'retro'.
Well, leave feedback, meanwhile, here are the single posters:

Also, watch out for a second item from the Milan City Outfits series:)

*waves*

The Magnete has been revised

Here is the new Magnete everyone! I have totally repainted the texture for the top, making it with the same pattern of the skirt and adding details and lights.
I also came out with many more colours, and I hope you will like it as much as the old one.
Also because: the old gown has been sold a lot until very little time ago... then I had taken it off the walls, and now is back on at a lowered price (I haven't set it back for sale everywhere, yet...).
Here is the poster for each colour, please let me know what you think:) (and watch out for the revised version of the Evelyn!)

Christmas break from SL

:) I just wanted to let you all know I will be away from SL and from my PC for some days: at least until the 25th of December (yeah, Christmas lol).
Besides... these days I have been awfully busy in RL with all the Christmas stuff going on, so I couldn't work on any new design, nor on the retexturing of the old gowns (thing I will certainly do as soon as I get a chance).
I wish you all a very Merry Christmas, Buon Natale, Joyeux Noel, Frohe Weinacht, Feliz Navidad... or however you prefer:)
Hugs and Kisses to everyone!

Retexturing of some old designs...

Hello everyone!

I want to share with you an idea I had.

I was looking at my designs and I noticed that some gowns like the Perpetua and the Magnete are nice... but now old compared to my newest releases.

Since I absolutely love those 'old' dresses, I thought I would do something to make them appealing again... like a textures revision.

Mostly, what needs to be worked on is the top. Maybe I will also remake the prim textures, especially for the Evelyn.

I'll keep you posted, and will take off my walls the items I mean to retexture as soon as I decide that the work WILL be done (that is: IF I have some spare time during Christmas Holidays:)). Any suggestions wil be appreciated:)

Then, I also wanted to invite you all to visit my flickr page (http://flickr.com/photos/cliocardiff) to see all my designs and also my 'artistic' pictures, when I have the chance to work on them! lol.

I also thought I would have some in my store...

Anyways... here is a sample: the 8th Romantic Moments picture:)

I miss my moments with Pall, lately... I am always busy with the fashion line, cause I have too many new ideas, and RL keeps me away from the PC much more than in the past.

Oh, well.

I gotta go:)

Brera City Outfits out!

Hello everyone.

Ok, this is a new outfit I have released a couple days ago. It's a casual skirt outfit, with some kind of an upper class look, methinks. (lol at doc for this...).

The top kind of looks like a toga, and the system skirt can be worn either with the prim attachment or without it.

The short jacket is also included, since winter has come :)

As always, all the textures are handdrawn... so I hope you are able to notice some 'improvements' as I keep releasing things lol.

I am still in my 'experimenting' phase... trying to figure out how to render certain textures with shades and stuff haha, well, if you have time to drop a line to comment on my efforts (even negative lol, always open to critics) please do so:).

Gotta run!

*hugs*

Phantium got married and it snows in Atherstone!

Hehe, guess what?

Today 'The Voice' got married!!! Yesss, I was kindly (thanx thanx P and Lo) invited to the ceremony and so I went and had a peep at the 2 of them exchanging vows and starting together a new (and hopefully better... or at least deeper:)) Second Life.

Everyone was sooo excited! And they actually read their vows on voice... so it all looked so much more than just an sl wedding...

Good luck you guys! For all what may come!

(here they are while walking out of the chapel... ceremony over... they're officially husband and wife:))

And, hear this:
the SIM Pall is building his RL town on is now covered in snow!!! Yuppy!
The whole square is perfect for skating, too lol...together with a couple funny snowmen:) There are scripted snowskates available from a vendor right in the square.
The place is not officially opened yet: they're not under the search. But if you want to get a sneak preview you can use the Teleport I have among my Picks in my SL profile, it's called Virtual Atherstone:)
This is a shot of the 2 of us, in a pause during our skating lol. Don't we look like if someone is interrupting us while arguing?

Nah, it couldn't be us, if we were arguing lol!
*kissssssssssssss* Pall:)

Bye you all!

Stay tuned for a new outfit that 'might' come out soon enough:)

Limited Edition Lingerie for Christmas!

Hello you all:)
I am here to announce a new thing I am doing.
I wanted to have out something special for Christmas (besides the girls' and guys' cuddling PJs, which you can find as freebies in my store).
I was advised to go with lingerie... and here it's what came out, the Rosalina Limited Edition set:

Hehe, brand new lingerie set... very very cute, I think. It's a bra&panties set (both with tiny prim bows) and a hyper-sexy body suit. It's like a sheer bustier together with large brief. These can be worn over the lingerie set itself (match it perfectly:)) OR they can be worn with nothing underneath... awesomely revealing!
I made it LIMITED EDITION! Yes, that's right! It means that only 50 of these sets will be sold in SL! So if you want one make sure you come by my store in Capelli Estates soon enough:))

The bedroom I used for the photoshooting of the Rosalina set is by my friend Eazel Allen. He started making sculpted scripted beds, added many classy bedroom components, and now has his own place where he sells all his stuff. The place is really nice... you should check it out (look for Eazel Allen, and TP from his profile).

Then, I wanted to inform you that I put nearly all my stuff on slexchange, as well (not the freebies and the hair... and still finishing with the listing of casual items lol). It was already on shop.onrez.
So... if you wanna shop but don't feel like logging in, just surf the internet and shop from http://slexchange.com or http://shop.onrez.com.

Bye bye for now, everyone!

Caterina ... and visit the Shop&Jazz Istanbul Edition!

Hello you all! I would like to show you the poster for the new dress, the actual poster with all the colours!

I personally love it:) And I can see some improvement myself... hope you agree.

Well, I wanted to inform you all that at the Shop&Jazz Istanbul Edition jazz club, starting from friday, many renters will have 1 or more items at a discounted price (only at the Shop&jazz). I will, too, so in case some of you want to take the chance, do pop by!

And enjoy the wonderful sim... one of the most elegant in SL, in my opinion:)

Take care!!!

Still RL busy, but here's a new release: Caterina!

Hey you all:)

I have been off SL for a week (2 weeks ago now), and anyways have been on very very little in the last month, due to RL lack of internet connection, and now plenty of RL duties to take care of.

BUT, here's some good news for you: I had the time to release a new item. It's an elegant dress called Caterina, here is a sample:

As always, I have more colours available. So far it's in pink, blue, sable and green. More are to come as soon as I am free enough to find the time to make them (and I should have some girls modelling, then:)).
I hope the efforts I am (slowly... waaay slowly) making to improve my designing are appreciated... give a holler if they are! Lol (I know... noone ever leaves comments...).

Also, I haven't partied for the opening of my REAL store yet. I had planned to do so long time ago, but never got the chance to plan anything... keep your ears open! (through my update group, for instance... joinable for free from the search. It's called "Clio Cardiff & co.").
byeeeeeeeeeee!

Clio.

Off from SL until an undefined date!

Just very quickly informing everyone that, due to some RL issues, as not having any internet connection available anymore (not from home, anyways...), I cannot log on SL.
I know some of you are waiting for me to come renew the rent or help you with fitting or with items not delivering, but as for now I can't help from offline.
I apologize for this, it is much worse for me than it is for you.
I hope to be back in action as soon as possible, till then, accept my 'sorry'.
Take care!

New sexy tiny outfit and bikini!

Hi there:)

I have just released in my main store and in a couple other locations the newest item from my collection:)

Here is a poster of the whole thing, hope you like it.

As you can see a load of gorgeous ladies modeled for it, so my group of models is getting bigger and bigger lol.

Then, I wanted to make sure people find out about a very very classy new Jazz Club in SL. The place is called 'Shop&Jazz Istanbul Edition'. It is a whole SIM stunningly built up from scratch by Enes Masala, the owner of the place.
Apart from the jazz club, which has a fabulous dancefloor and some private lounges for slow couple dances, there is a huge and fine mall. Many great designers are already displaying there, and there's still rental space available.
There's also a nice art gallery and a harbour. It really deserves a visit!

And another place I rent in which is very 'different' is called AtlantisLove. It's a waterfront with many shops and a whole lot of cuddles and attractions underwater! Look at this:Have fun you all!
