Carnival at Cassi!

WOOT! Carnival festivities at Cassiopeia Island :) For the entire weekend untill Monday, events are planned. The sim is full with attractions (you should seriously take a ride in the ferris wheel), many of the shopowners have out freebies and dollarbee's for the occasion, Ravenlynn Templar is playing some live music, so you must come and check it out :)

As you all know, I'm moving the S.Y.D mainstore away from Cassi island to its own sim (Grand opening Sunday!), however I do have a medium sized store at the same location and will keep it there. Cassi island was the first place where i started out, the owner Duncan is a doll and the folks are real fun. I feel at home there *sniff* so I have double feelings about "leaving" with the mainstore. Ok, end of emotalk for now ;)

On to the good stuff! FREEBIES! And lots of them...I gathered a few here and there across the sim, but there's many many more. Check out this little fun compilation I did:



From left (upper start) to right:
Carnival Bones dress L$1 - The Dollhouse
Babygoth girl PJ pink L$1 - My dead kitty (LVS & CO)
Raeva's Kate dress L$1 - Raeva's
Meow Mix L$1 - The Passionate Neko
Gothic Blood gown L$1 - The Passionate Neko
Vampire Kanji swimsuit L$1 - My Dead Kitty (LVS & CO)
Vincent Price autograph shirt L$1 - LVS & CO
Pillows with animations Broken heart series - The Pampered puss (LVS & CO)

And check this awesome belt with spikes from HAB by Habibi creations, yours for L$1 :) (I will feature his works in my new sim aswell, his belts are addicting!)



These are just a few of the many many great freebies around :) You'll find gifts from Elate!, brandnew mainstore of Gothic Dreams Xulltana Lowell (welcome to cassi!), LVS, Raeva's, Passionate Neko, Pampered Puss and lots lots more :)Ofcourse I have some goodies up aswell, in front of my (ex LOL) mainstore. A special edition in green of the Natural Gypsy set is available till monday, so come on over and have fun at the Carnival!



Untill next time,

Invitation to the brandnew S.Y.D sim! :)

A note to my fellow bloggers, please change your slur's and lm's to my new location :D

Designers gone mad part 2, lmao. We seriously should make this a monthly collumn :P
Really, alot of designers i know (aswel as myself) we tend to lock ourselves up in our stores/workshops. It's soooo good to step out and just be crazy sometimes. Shop, fish, do whatever, GET OUT YOUR STORES lmao! Aphrodite and me went on a crazy shopping trip last night, omg, have you seen Magika? Was new to me!



*WOOOT*
I'm also working on new releases, here's a sneaky peak of a dress out very soon:

Invitation to Instyle grads show & goodies :)

Goodevening! I'm excited as in some hours my Fashion show for the INstyle graduates starts :) 25 of some older, some brandnew and some revamped outfits will be shown by the lovely graduating models for Instyle. Hereby you're all invited to come see this show at the INstyle Fashion Academy.

Secondly, I'd strongly suggest you to take a look at the Vanity sim's German Fashion weeks designers expo, where over 55 designers from Germany, Switzerland, The Netherlands and the USA are showcasing and selling their designs, with many offerings ONLY at this expo! So you might want to hop over and do some serious shopping! You can find S.Y.D by walking to the right area from the landing point ;)

Last but not least, I've made a surprise goodiebox for L$1 in my mainstore, which is containing some nice dresses, tops and some other goodies which i've either retired or never released ;) Might be something you really enjoy! You can pick it up in the mainstore between the relaxing sofa's where my sweet dog Moosje is sleeping ;)

Hope to see you tonight!

Lovely Loxley :)

Hi friends!

Just released two gowns named Loxley, after my dear friend ofcourse. I like that, to name things after people you know, did the same with Aphrodite and here we have Loxley. The gowns come in two colors, red and midnight blue :) Each set has a glitchpants, flexi gown, top and an optional sheer overlay-thingy-i-have-no-idea-what-to-call-that ;)




Up in the mainstore ;)
About my slexchange and onerez listings: I'm re-doing every single box as my LM and items are outdated on my current listings, so if there's listings missing its because i'm editing them. Will take a few days to have it all fixed and restored!
