Pink Shirt Day 2010

Just like last year, this year again I have decided to place out a pink special item to support the Pink Shirt Day campaign to fight bullying.
This time I went for an entire outfit: pink from head to toe!
Sabina Gown in special pink colour for Pink Shirt Day 2010 will only be available until the end of tomorrow!


For more information about the campaign, here are some SL and RL sites that explain better why to wear pink:

Cousins... but not blood cousins...

Holà holà people!
Did you forget about me? Maybe, since I drop dead every few weeks (lol).
Well, rest assured: I'm still alive... working on a few things... a project together with other designers, and the revision of an old dress that I didn't make 'good enough' back in 2008.
But while I am lazily working on those things, Miss Smart Ass (cet à dire moi... yes, that's been my plurk name for a while... so I kind of got the 'smart ass' label now lol) has also been having some fun *smirks*.
Particularly, today I got an offline from my 'ass cousin', the lovely Summer Wardhani (also known as Miss Cutie Ass... LOL) asking me to log on and meet her barefoot and wearing a bikini... now, she must have hired some stalker, or how would she know I had been wearing an old bikini and no shoes for my last TOT days in SL?
Mistery... LOL.
Anyways I did go to her, and was half surprised and half cracking up when I found out why she wanted me there in such a mise: she had planned a photoshooting session to finally officialise us being Ass Cousins! LMAO!
She's a super creative photographer, methinks... one that thinks about the shots and adds details here and there to give that extra character to the picture. And I was very glad she hosted me in her cute studio and had me (well, my butt, really) modelling for her :D
Anyways, I obviously decided to change my bikini and wear a thong (yanno... smart asses are smart ;)) so I went on, changed... took my pictures as she was taking hers... and then when she showed me her lovely work, I was like "wait a minnit.... where's my thong?" LOL.
Evidently in her viewer I kept on the same bikini for the whole time. So here I decided to show you a sample of the pictures SHE took and one of the pictures I took. Summer was such a cutie as to edit my shots a bit cause lazy-ass me wouldn't be able to do it as quickly! LOL.
Here we are: 2 ass cousins in silly poses. Yes, I am the shocked one on the right that changes bikini! LOL.

Oh, before I forget, let me remind you all that the HUGE formals' sale is still UP!
Yes, I decided to keep it going some more time, at least until I have some new releases :) So you know you have one tiny reason to come by if you want to grab some of my formals at half price or less ;)

Other tiny bit of news: I have started (only for 3 collections so far) to add my items to slapt.me. It's a new site to buy SL products online, with easy and free registration! You might want to check it out!

Last but not least, remember the RFL campaign is still going on until July! My special RFL items are located at my main store, both near the landind point and at my formals' session.  They will ONLY be for sale for this year's RFL, so once they're gone, they're gone :)

Pffft, while I tell you this, my ass cousin left me standing there all by myself... bah, family! LOL.

... yeah, I was a bit disappointed in the end! *giggles*

Stay tuned, more news coming up!
Love,
Clio

Woooot, RFL Clothing Fair is now officially OPEN to public!!!
Yessss, and I am on MILAN SIM!!!
That's right! This year the theme of the fair is "Fashion Cities in the world", thus the 8 SIms hosting the designers' stores have been built inspired by 8 great fashion cities.
For this year's fair, I created 4 recolourings of 2 dresses from last year and 2 from the Papillon collection!
Here they are:

All money raised through these 4 vendors will go straight to RFL! Let's make this a big relay year!

And don't forget to pop at the stores of so many other designers who created their own RFL specials!

Say Goodbye to many 2007 items...

Just a quick word!
My retiring sale, that's been going on forEVER, is finally going to end next weekend. Prices down to less than 10% their original price!
You can either come by my main store, or BUY ON XSTREETSL at SALE price!
Yes, my oldest creations, the items I started my business with, they are all going to be taken off my walls and off XstreetSL in a week.
Then, the next step will be to actually update XstreetSL with the products released at the end of 2008 and through all 2009!
Make sure to at least browse those things priced 10/25/75 L$, and have a laugh :)
I think I can say I improved quite a lot since back then, but looking at those items awakens so many memories that I feel very sad in throwing them away.
[To my main store]
[To my XstreetSL page]

Oh, well, stay tuned for news!
Love,
Clio

Preview!

Hey all!
Just sharing a little preview of what is possibly coming by the first days of next week.
It's a short and colourful dress with sculpted skirt.

I am still working on finishing it, but it might be out in a few light and cheerful colours very soon :)

A little information: the sale I am having for the bunch of retiring items will be over next weekend! I think I waited even too long before throwing those things away. :)
So, well, come pick them up if you're still interested! I lowered everything even more!
[To the store]

Also, thanks to all who have filled in the survey I sent out.
I am still going to wait until next weekend before actually making conclusions, because I didn't get too many back yet. Please, do send them back, as it will allow me to change towards the best direction.
If you need a copy of it, let me know and I will gladly send it your way :)

Lots of hugs,
Clio

Papillon collection 1st release: Autumn!

Welcome back me!
Lol.
For all my loving supporters, customers and friends, here is the first new release after many months!

This new item not only signifies the beginning of my come-back to SL, but also the start of a new collection I will be continuing through the last portion of this winter and most of the spring.
The collection is named "Papillon". Why? I don't know really. I just think papillon is a super cute word. It's cute even when translated in spanish and italian, lol... not so much in english :-/
But then, butterflies are also adorable flying insects, full of colours and gentleness. Very feminine, very fresh, very cheerful. I think these are all great starting points for a good makeover of my brand (cause yeah, folks, Clio has been around since August 2007... it's old!).
Of course, "Clio" will remain my signature on all my items (easy to remember... plus, after 2 years, it's a pity to trash it), but I will group my releases in collections. Each collection will be more or less like an RL fashion collection, and every new collection will have a new name and new layouts/ideas... we'll see what I will manage to make out of this choice of mine :D

The first item I am introducing from my new Papillon collection, then, is a revision of my Starlight Exclusives/Little Black Book Autumn. The boutique has sadly closed, and although RubyStarlight Writer did allow us to sell our creations in our main stores, I decided to leave it as an exclusive item for her own boutique, thus I will not sell it at my store.
This new version has been retextured, and coloured in brighter hues, to fit to the papillon theme :)
Eight colours in total. All very springy and for all tastes.
The skirts are resizeable (via script) and the perms are set to transfer (no copy) to allow gifting... especially as Valentine's Day approaches ;)

 

They are all available at my main store !

50% OFF for the weekend! Come grab them while they're hot! :D




Lots of love,
Clio
