Do you ever visit SLU or SL Universe? If not it's a third party website (website not owned by LL or SL but an independent resident) that talks about all things SL. A GREAT source of SL info! I've made a special item to support SLU at this time with some extra much needed funds so if you feel so inclined, check out Kaelyn! She comes with three skirts and if you don't know SLU and just like Kaelyn then buy her anyway!

Several new hunt gifts going out for October so be sure to grab up the freebies!

Mega Post!

2009-08-01T19:22:00.003-06:00

MEGA info for a mega post!

First BIG news...the gift card system is completely up and running! I'm still investigating how to offer you more deals and sales with it so be patient for taking advantage of it just a bit longer!

This also means you can now trade in any old system gift cards you still may have. There are specific rules for this process though, to make it easiest on me mainly! 99 percent of these gift cards I will be replacing are the free ones given to my update group, so please keep that in mind when reading these rules. They may seem strict but they are necessary in order for me not to go crazy! There are over 8000 of you and even if a small degree of you have gift cards to exchange we're still talking several hundred. This method is going to make it easier on me to exchange your FREE cards.

1. Card exchanges will only be accepted through Sept 1, 2009. One month.

2. Create a folder in your inventory and name it STC Gift Card Exchange [YOUR NAME], replacing the brackets with your avatar name PLEASE! This is so very important. If you do not do this I won't know who the cards are from or they may end up in odd areas of my inventory and never be found again! Any cards not received as described above will not be exchanged.

3. Place the cards in the folder. Next Check to see if I am online via my profile! It will say "CURRENTLY ONLINE" at the top if I am. I have not hidden my status so when I am online you will know I am simply by looking at my profile. Please DO NOT send me friend requests. This is simply too big a project to take care of in that manner and I will decline. You are the ones needing the cards exchanged so it is you that should check for my status. Why? Because I don't want you sending me the folder if I am not online. It may get lost or denied and your cards CANNOT be exchanged if that happens. So anything delivered while I am offline will not be eligible for the exchange. NO EXCEPTIONS!

4. After checking if I am online and sending me your folder if I am, please wait patiently. I will work on these as quickly as I can in the order they are received, but that doesn't mean instantly. You may need to wait a day or two or three.

Remember, these are mainly free cards I am exchanging for you. Key word is free. Be patient, read the rules, and be understanding.

Now for new releases!!

Summer Plaid is a sweet little, sassy set! Plaid short capris with sculpty bottom cuffs, a simple banded short tank and available in three colors! Purple, pink and blue. These sets are only 75L!

Jane's Depression is probably my favorite! She's available in red, pink, teal, gray and purple. It comes with boots, hat with skully charm, quirkly little dress and on all layers!

Cheshire kitty! My offering for the recently finished Through the Looking Glass hunt was Cheshire in purple! I recolored in black and pink by popular request!

Bandana comes in four colors, blue, berry, green and red and features a skimpy little bandana print top with sculpty cap sleeves, a jean skirt and cuffed capris as well! All layers for this outfit as well.

Delicate Blush is a fun and flirty babydoll and capri set available in six colors! Two are shown. The babydoll is short but can be worn without the capris. I've offered the dress bottom and the capris both on both bottom layers for however you wish to wear it :) Top comes on all top layers as well.

Firefly is a sweet little zippy floral on black velvet dress set! It comes with two skirt options and culottes! You remember those sassy little split skirt outfits we used to wear?!

Rounding out this post are a new hunt gift and the group gift this week! Aida is a sexy little salsa dress number with a few mini skirt options as well, and also a flouncy little ruffle at the chest! Options we love options ladies! The satisfashion hunt is a bit different. Click the group join sign at the entrance to the left of the store for more info on how to participate in this hunt. It involves wearing a VIP pass to be able to receive the gifts.

Rocker Babe is a four plaid skirt outfit combo that has a tight black tank top and ripped fishnet footless tights too! I hope you enjoy!

Again, thanks for being so patient during my revamping time recently! I had some great survey answers that I've taken into serious consideration. you'll find a new info hub in the right hand side of the ground floor. We've always had a hub but this one is more clear, streamlined and easier to use I think. We also added in ramps at the front for all levels! I had tp boards by each entrance and allowed for open entrances into the six different departments for ease of flying but many asked for stairs. The design of the store didn't really leave room for stairs but I brainstormed with my partner and we came up with the black ramp system out front! I hope you appreciate the improvements we've added!

The store has a simple rectangle layout, three floors, each one divided into two sides. There is a store directory at the landing point. Wait for it to rez. There is also a map of the directory you can receive at the info hub :)

I hope I've made your shopping at STC that much more pleasurable!

Wow! Do I ever need to get on the ball! Lots to report this post...

Most know (or I hope most do!) about my store move, the main store is now at Anders sim, slurl here Sweeter Than Candy!

If you've not seen it well...I have to show it off! I've been wanting this build for a store for awhile but it just wasn't big enough in it's original state. Since my lot is a lot smaller than my full sim was I had to compensate with the build, so I treated myself to this lovely! I actually made it four times as tall lol and I have a whole second floor still to fill with my men's and other things. So keep checking the blog and the store for new!

The clearance store, small store to the left of the main store is up and going too! I haven't posted to the group yet about it specifically but I've sent out the link. Everything is $10 and includes a lot of items recently in the store, now moved to clearance!

More photos inside...

What's that you ask?! Oh yes that's a Bunny Hop Hunt sign! Yep I'm in! 300 stores handpicked by the hunt staff to be qualified as unique and different, offering things not of the normal fare. Just WAIT til you see what I have as my prize! Ooh I can't wait!

Ok now for a few recent releases...

If you've not grabbed the group gift of these fab suede boots in the group join kiosk do so now! They won't stay in there long! Just touch to join, touch again to access the history, and grab the March 1 gift!

This little sweetie is my Midnight Mania gift this week!

She'll be a full release in four other colors later :)

These shoes are flying off the shelves!

More of my heart line of shoes, cute little cloggy shoes with cute little heart details! In a boat load of colors, these being the latest!

I also have Kelly here, a new release of a cute little tennis outfit with sporty striped shorts, a lightweight cotton oversweater and an undertank, complete with an additional skirt base and flirty little tennis skirt. Athletic and cute!

She's available in six colors, black, teal, pink, purple, tan and green.

I'm busy working on more lovelies for you all!

I just had to post this. I was contacted by Chiana Meredith, owner of a posh little boutique called ChiChickie. HAIR ladies! HAIR! She had made a sweet little valentine hat and hair set for V-day and wanted to use my own latest valentine special in her ad since our two creations seemed to match so well. I loved the hair and had to show you!

So if you're so inclined give her a visit!

ChiChickie!

Now for my latest releases...

The Cupid Sistahs. Kinda hot, kinda bad, mean to poor Cupid.

Fluid comes in a rainbow of colors and is only at the Lovely location right now. But I'll be moving it to the main location Sunday, Feb. 1.

GUYS! Finally I remembered you! Actually I haven't forgotten you, as who could ever forget a man? But I've been concentrating on women's fashion as that's what I know. I'm finally releasing more men's though and doing so with a thought to how you hate to shop. Ladies you can purchase for the guys or the guys can themselves. I've created two versions of each of my latest men's releases, one copy, one transfer (both are mod). This way girls you can buy for your men and give to them, or guy's can pick which version they want themselves. Each vendor box for the new men's releases has two buttons, 'copy' and 'transfer'. Use THESE buttons to purchase the appropriate selection.

Hoodies come in a boatload of colors and the sweaters come in five. There's also a new line of denim for the guys, four different color variations.

I also have new shrugs out. They are available as single sets, shrug and corset underneath. Corsets on the shirt and undershirt layers with the bottom on the underpants layer for a tucked in cami kinda look. The shrugs are on jacket and shirt layers. The colors are scrumptious!

The monocrhomatic (plus red) set is not out yet but I wanted to tempt you. I'll be releasing it FIRST as a Midnight Mania set!!! Then after a few days of that I'll put it up for sale for those that don't want to fool with the MM.

My Valentine freebie from up above on XStreet and inworld at my main location right now is I Luv You Valentine. It comes in two dress styles with two waist sashes, and shoes!! Who luvs you?!

Yvette is a sweet dress with two skirt options, flexi and sculpty and comes in a variety of color options.

Last but certainly not least, Woolies is a grunge sweater set in four colors. This, like Fluid, is only at the Lovely location right now but I'll be moving it to the main store soon!

The Lovely location, for those of you that haven't visited yet, is having a half off Saturday sale each week. I am placing several things each week at half off for the promotion. Many other designers from the shopping area also participating. Today we had over 30! So make sure you visit and grab the deals! It's an adorable sim shopping experience with sweet and nifty building styles.

Sweeter Than Candy at The Lovely Shops

Make sure you explore the whole sim for the great deals!

She comes with ripped version and new version.

2008-08-06T10:05:00.003-06:00

Heh....YAY for sl screwups! My store got zapped night before last....completely. The entire building. There my clothing was hanging in the breeze like magic all by itself. My husband had to work on it all night to get it back up *hugs and kisses to him for being so good to do so*

So we made a few small changes while we were rebuilding it so I thought I'd post a few more pics of the store...

New Store!

Next are capris in a boatload of colors, with sculpty cuffs.

Simple knit sweater texture tube tops in stripey fun!

Just added...NEW dollarbies

2008-07-19T22:38:00.003-06:00

Late Friday night I added some new dollarbies to the clearance floor. I know strange, since clearance implies something that was once higher priced, but dang it I wanted that dollarbie area looking fuller! These are just three of the six new tops on the dollarbie wall! The middle one is a real cutie, little guy named Fuzzy, with bright pink jelly stars on a black tee. A teensy summer halter adorned with daisies on the top and an emote girl on the bottom green tee, with fuzzy flowers hovering over her pink ball cap!

7/18 new releases...

2008-07-19T22:19:00.004-06:00
