Crush Factory is having a $25 sale on ALL items! Clothing, hair, jewelry...

You will also find Honey.Hair on sale for the same price!

http://slurl.com/secondlife/Serenity%20Springs/240/24/1501

This sale will be going until further notice! Crush Factory and Honey.Hair are merging together to bring you one amazing store! This also means that CF will be retiring most items, so pick up what you can while it's still available! After the sale the items retired will be deleted from my inventory!

Many of you have noticed that i have been MIA since hair fair. I appreciate all the IMs, and i've tried to answer as many of you as possible, but i know i have missed many. My RL was completely turned upside down and i had to pick up the broken pieces. However i did it, i put the broken pieces in my pocket and am ready to begin designing again!

This transistion and merging of stores will take time, but I promise I will be working hard with Kaiyah to bring you the same cuteness that is expected!

Thanks for all the support!

Mikayla Kohl

 
 

It's been way too long since we had anything new for you guys so we hope the following won't disappoint:

- TCI is merging w/ Crush Factory! We have always had our stores neighboring each other so it really won't be that big of a transition. What it does mean is easier shopping w/ a lot more to choose from :)

- We've moved our mainstore to a sim everyone knows & loves, Juicy Del Mar! We hope to be here a long time, prims permitting :) LM here as well as in my picks.

- All 2008 stock from TCI will slowly be making its way to OnRez which you can find here.

- The Cute Institute group is now closed & defunct. Don't worry about unsubscribing as Paisley will be purging the list. If you want to keep getting updates from Paisley & Mikayla, please come join the Crush Factory subscriber found at the main store @ Juicy Del Mar.

- NOW ONTO THE NEW RELEASES!

- Frilly pastel dresses w/ little seahorses & bubbles between the ruffles. Very poofy & a must for any lolita.

- 3/4 sleeveed scoop neck tops w/ rhinestone lips!Available in 9 lip smackin colours.

- Jeweltoned babydoll style dress w/ big buttons & satin stripes.

- Our CF logo in a really cool sequined design.

- This is what happens when I try & draw an octopus. It came out more like a slime-guy but I love him just the same. Frilly meets freaky in 7 bright colours.

- A razor cut, mid-length hairstyle made flexi & sculpty. Available in 30 different dyes.

Thanks for following us on our journey. Happy 2009 from Crush Factory!

Only a few days left for Crush Factory's xmas sale! The sale will be ending on Jan. 01, 2009. All red and green items will go back to the normal prices. Again this is only available at our main location @ Mi Amor.



Just as a reminder Paisley and I are still working on our new location at Juicy Del Mar. There is a ton of stuff that needs to be done still, as well as working on a new release!

Hey everyone! I hope you all are enjoying the holiday season. My $25 Xmas sale(on red or green items) will be over soon. Once it is over however, Crush Factory & The Cute Institute will be undergoing some MAJOR CHANGES.

I'm sad to announce that The Cute Institute will be closing it's doors. HOWEVER Paisley will now be designing under Crush Factory!!! All of her clothing items will still be available, everything else such as Ervis, Melty Popsicles, Dangerously Stacked Cuppycake Chairs and such cuteness will ONLY be available on ONREZ!

With the major changes coming in the beginning of 2009, we will be working hard on new releases, as well as moving our main location. I'm very very very sorry to our customers for all of the moving over the past year or so, it's been rough for everyone involved and we HATE moving. This time tho we are more excited as we merge our stores together. We hope this will be our last move -ever-

I have closed my sattelite location @ Juicy Boardwalk -so sad woe is me- but only because our new location will be at Juicy Del Mar!! We are working hard on a new build, and trying to get things all sorted out. It's a disaster right now, but it's getting there! OMGZ i'll finally put up hairs from hair fair! Our collabs are also going to find their way back YAY!

As for now our items are still available @ Mi Amor for the time being. Once we are set up @ Juicy we will be closing our doors at the Mi Amor location.

Feel free to join our scribers for the latest and up to date information. We might just give group members a gift who knows!?!

It's been a long time since i have released anything, but -finally- i am able to release my ... summer collection. I know i know it's totallllly late, but i swear its cute (and it's still shorts and tanktop weather in california anyway!)

After hair fair planning, i have been totally drained and uninspired, this collection was finished BEFORE the fair, but so much planning i just didn't have the time or energy to set it up! Better late than never tho, right??

This Collection consists of 2 bottoms, 2 tops, bangles and my first ever pair of shoes!!! There are TONS of color options to choose from!!

My favorite piece in this collection and possibly my favorite thing i have -ever- made ... the Laced-up Cargos. They have laced up parts and bows and awesome seams. They come in 6 color options.

Next up are the Widetab Plaid Shorts, they have a cute pair of lips for the button and come in 9 colors.

The lace Ribbed Tanks have a TON of colors to choose from...10 black tanks with multicolored lace trim10 white tanks with multicolored lace trim8 multicolored tanks with matching lace trim

The Tie-back tees are plain midriff baring tees that tie together in the back for suprisingly flirty cuteness. These come in 10 color options.

The Sweet Shackles come in 9 color options, they are a mismatched pair of bangles... one for the left and one for the right.

Last but not least are the shoes!! Bow Wedges that are laced up thong styled wedge with a cute bow coming in 9 color options.



Direct TP to my main location @ Mi Amor

I'll be moving IRL soon but for now, I couldn't resist putting out one last thing before I go. Royal Farewell is available in gold & in pink. Includes a top & capri's in multiple layers (thank Sasy for this :P)

Mikayla & I have finally sold the sim. You can now visit The Cute Institute & Crush Factory at Mi Amor Island. All of my products from TCI are there -except- my furniture. I'll work on getting that put up @ OnRez in time. Thanks again everyone for the well wishes & I hope I'll be back designing shortly!
