While still fighting to have enough free time to spend in SL, I luckily managed to place under my little Christmas tree a nice present for all of you.
Enjoy this sexy see-through gown during these cold holidays!

I wish you a very Merry Christmas, and all the best for 2010.

Hello dears.
Long time no news (lol). That's because my RL has been requiring more and more of my time, thus leaving nearly none for me to work on SL.
First of all, let me say I do wish to make some kind of come back, and hopefully will be able to release some goodies during these holidays.
Then, I am sorry to inform you all that Rubystarlight Writer's boutique, Little Black Book (formerly Starlight Exclusives) is going to close down very soon, on the 17th of December.
I decided that, until then, I will place a little freebie next to the items I had created for the fall collection, just as a way to say farewell to this store.
If anyone wants to grab the gifty and make their last purchases in this shop (reminder: there are creations by many different designers!), here is a LINK to the inworld location.
À bientôt!
Clio
Yes, my lovelies, I am not dead!
I have had some problems logging in due to an RL change of location (with all the mess this implies when we talk of an internet connection!), so I couldn't be present much for all of you.
But guess what? I have recently signed up for the second collection at Starlight Exclusives! It will be for this Winter. The big news is that this time a theme has been set, to make sure ALL the exclusive items from ALL the designers involved will nicely blend together under the same roof.
The theme is Cocktail Hour!
Couldn't it be better for such a maniac of 'chic' as myself? I can already guess we'll see some very interesting things this November ;)
While I have already started working on the concept of my new exclusive cocktail outfit, I thought I'd do something nice for eveyone and I LOWERED THE PRICE ON MY FALL SEASON EXCLUSIVE DRESS!
It is now over 30% OFF, in preparation for the new collection!
Make sure to visit Starlight Exclusives boutique! [TP TO STARLIGHT EXCLUSIVES].
Love,
Clio

New design out on my walls!
This dreamy dress is very different from my usual releases, and it's dedicated to an SL friend and fellow designer.
Amutey DeCuir, owner of Bliss Couture, has been a dear friend for a long time, and when I saw the gown she made for Starlight Exclusives I absolutely loved the primwork on the skirt.
I wanted to make something similar, soft, airy and chic at the same time.
That's how I came up with this cute dress with a LOAD of prims flowing gently in the air.
The skirt is not too long while it sits quite high on the waist line. It is made up of three pieces to follow your legs while dancing and ensure a perfect coverage.
The top has a vaporous attachment, as well, going all around the breasts and shoulders.
A pair of sheer gloves is included.

The time has come to write something about Starlight Exclusives design I baked for this first fall season.
When Rubystarlight Writer, founder and CEO of Starlight Exclusives, contacted me this summer, I felt so honoured that I was given the chance to be one of the few creators selected to make exclusives items to sell at her awesome new boutique.
So, this first exclusive outfit is inspired by fall season.
Here in Italy, fall means a lot of things: leaves start falling, the air gets cooler, days get shorter...
But one particular event that is very strictly related to autumn in this region is the collecting and selling of grapes.
This is what I thought as I was looking for a theme for my design. I thought that instead of focusing on the leaves or on the cold weather, I would let vintage be the protagonist.
Grapes and wine suggested me one main idea of joy, merriment... and folly, the happy folly that arises in you when you have good wine during a nice dinner with friends.
It is not a secret that I have been experimenting with very dangerous leg showing and wild, uneven skirts... so I restored the burlesque atmosphere I had created with my Queue de Paon and rivisited the style to make it fit autumn.
I wouldn't say I made it a Victorian outfit (far from that), but I tried to give it a retro look: something between a witch outfit and a courtesan robe. Both these figures have some folly in them, I thought. A witch is an evil and rather twisted lady, while courtesans... well, I bet they used to have quite a lot of wine:)
As my usual, I went with more than one colour option.
A ruby red version was necessary, since wine -and, to me, wine is mainly RED WINE- had been the starter of all my inspiration.
Then, well, what would fall be without falling leaves? I called my fallen leaves version "Sunset", thinking sunset is that moment in the life of a leaf, while it flows down slowly towards its 'death' when meeting the ground.
The last colour is there to represent the cool air, the windy days that take summer away and clear the way for winter.
This is what was buzzing in Clio's head as she was drawing and arranging prims around her waist, chest and head. I hope people will be able to catch some of the meaning of the whole dress even without reading these words... but maybe they'd need to be as crazy as me for that, and I don't really wish that to anyone (lol).
Oh... I was about to forget!
Stay tuned for my new release coming this weekend!!! Dedicated to a friend:)-+Coco+preview+copia.png)
Many hugs and best wishes for a lovely day!

Hello dears!
I have a new and special release waiting for you!
It's a recolouring I did of one of my latest (and favourite) designs: the Sabina Gown.
Since when I release Sabina I only offered dark and rich colours, I decided that I would add an extra tone for those of you who like light and delicate hues :)
ONLY AVAILABLE AT SWEETHEARTS JAZZ LOUNGE: Sabina in Lilac!
100% hand drawn and fully transferable for gifting ;)
Cheers!

In less than 48 hours, Starlight models will be showing off the items created by 17 different SL designers exclusively for Starlight Exclusives boutique! And I'm one of those designers! Woot!
There will be no peaking of what I made before the big show on Sunday, so make sure to come there if you want to see it! Or just visit the shop once it opens to public ;)
Click to TP to ICON Lifestyle SIM, where the shop is hosted.
I really hope to be able to be at the show... can't wait to see what my fellow creators have designed!
Hugs!
Clio
You see my logo among those?
Sure you do, cause I had the honour to be selected as one of the creators of the items selling at Starlight Exclusives!
What is Starlight Exclusives?
Starting from August 30th, it will be an upscale boutique selling the creations of many different SL designers.
We were asked by Rubystarlight Writer, owner of Starlight Exclusives, to create a fall-inspired outfit to be sold only at her boutique until the end of the project -next year.
New designs will be introduced in the boutique every season.
Stay tuned for news about the kickoff of this awesome boutique and to see my fall - inspired creation :)
Hugs,
Clio

Finally a release after so many months!
I swear, I felt very bad not having time to create... but if RL needs me, I need to be in RL... so, well, let's not cry too much over the many many weeks passed with not a single release :)
This new one I have designed comes from an idea I've had since spring. I wanted to make a swim suit that could also be "turned into" a gown, adding a large skirt.
So, well, here it comes!
The top is on both shirt and jacket layers to fight the horrible shirt/pants bug we still have.
And for the gown version I changed the swimsuit bottom into a pair of glitch pants.
As you can see from the colours, I was really in the need for some summer :) Seven flashy and vibrant colours. I had a lot of fun putting them together, and I hope people will have fun wearing them :D
These new releases are out at my Main Store on Sunrise Island, where they will be 50% off for this first weekend.
The items are also available at my kiosk at Sweetheart Jazz Club!!!

Hello!!!
After a long long RL break, I am quickly steping back into SL! (did you miss me? lol)
First of all let me share with everyone the notice about a Sale and Hunt that is STILL going on until this weekend on Fusion SIMs! These SIMs are home to loads of cool shops, and have just opened! For this event, most stores are participating to a hunt and are having sales at their Fusion location!
I have my gift out in my shop on Fusion Grove (TP here) inside a steaming hot dog (lol) and a few selected items are marked 50% OFF! Hurry up before the event is over!
Then... tiny bit of news is I have a new release coming!
Here is a tiny sneaky preview hehe, as already posted on plurk some time ago.
I will be placing it out in my main store AND on my kiosk at Sweetheart Jazz Club starting from the 8th of August ;) Stay tuned!
Many huggs :-*
Clio
Hey hey folks!
Today is RFL Awareness day, and we wear purple to show support to RFL.
Well, I decided I would help out a bit, too, and placed my Magnete Gown in Purple in an RFL vendor at my main store. Until tomorrow it will be out for 100L$, with all proceeds going to RFL.
Stop by to grab it and show off your support for a good cause;)
[TAXI]
Hugs,
Clio
Hey hey folks :)
I am sorry I am being absent all the time... but RL calls and I can't pretend I can't hear!
So, well, while I let you wait for some new releases that should come some time in July (probably around the middle of the month... I already know I will be busy for the first entire week) I wanted to remind you about the gift I placed in my store some weeks ago.
It is free for subscribers and for group members who added my store to their profile. Beware that for the 2 'categories' of people there are 2 different vendors, both located at the centre of my store. Just read the text on the vendor itself to se if it's the one for group or the one for subscribers :) -the gift is exactly the same for the 2 anyways.
I will leave these vendors rezzed in my store for another few days. On Monday, I will get them offline, until I have a new gift ready. If you haven't taken them yet, make sure you do! :D
Also, don't forget about Midsummer Amusements finally at my main store (woot!) and about FDC photocontest, still running for another week!
Hugs,
Clio

Have fun!
Clio
My, my!
Isn't this outfit interesting and definitely out of ordinary?
"Mech Angel" is the outfit Danielle Harrop has created for Fashion Designers' Challenge!
She was challenged by Shir Dryke to make an outfit inspired by a Mecha Angel.
I guess I might share what Danielle told me: she had to google those words to actually grasp what Shir might have meant with the string "Mecha Angel"... and if I have to be completely honest, I would have googled it too!
From the net, you can find loads of images of mecha angels being cyber-like creatures with wings... kind of futuristic angel figures (although... ehm... I doubt they are supposed to be 'nice people' :)).
And well, I think that despite her initial doubts, Danielle came out with a very cool tiny outfit that really matches the requirements!
The cloths are all made up of micro chips and computer-like components, giving a very robotic look.
For the wings, Danielle chose a sheer squared pattern, that is also on the little skirt. The overall result is something between a cyber warrior and a sweet fairy... which afterall makes sense. It had to be an angel, and I do expect something sweet and delicate when talking about angels.
As for all the other FDC items, you can pick it up at one of the FDC stores (Road to OZ, Sn@tch City) until the 16th of May... and at Danielle's mainstore after that date:)
Oh! I am such a mess!
I was about to forget a GREAT news about Fashion Designers Challenge!
We are having a PHOTO CONTEST! Wooot!
The prize is a huge giftbag with loads of FDC items! For more information, read here!
Congratulations to Danielle for her challenge's outcome ;)
Love,
Clio
