Happy Halloween!!

 Hello!

I'm just about ready to start in on carving pumpkins, how about you? I do love the fun of Halloween, and of course I enjoy dressing up, who doesn't? Sometimes, though, I want to wear something that honours the holiday without being completely OBVIOUS about it, you know?

You can tell where I'm going with this, can't you? Yep, I made another thing! Well, two actually and only just in time for the spooky season too. 

The Kelly Outfit is a top and skirt that sit happily enough together that it looks like a dress. Bonus! I love three-in-one deals! One of the most stylish women, in my eyes, is Grace Kelly. She had a classy elegance and beauty that had nothing to do with flashing all the flesh and everything to do with just looking drop dead gorgeous. I believe that if she was around today she might wear something like this outfit, which is how it got its name! Please have a play, the top will work nicely with quite a wide range of bottoms, and the skirt should play nicely with a fair few tops and jackets. Each piece is controlled individually via the HUD, so you can match top and bottom or contrast depending on your mood. 

I love this particular style so much that  I plan to make more fabrics for it, so I will be releasing this in small sets. Each set will feature a uniquely designed Evelock fabric and complementary plain shades. So far, I have had way too much fun with:

Bones - Who doesn't want cheeky skeletons dancing across their body?!

Ghost - Just a bunch of ghosts having fun all over your outfit!

Available in Maitreya, Slink Physique and Belleza Venus sizes.

Materials enabled for a gentle sheen as the light passes over you. I've put a rainbow effect across the specular layer for that iridescent touch (only on the silk options, the suede has its own thing going on), but do feel free to mess around and try different tints on the layers, you might find something wonderful! Just take a copy first, in case of disaster :)

One tiny word of warning - I left the outfit modifiable so that you can play with tints. That's great, BUT ... if you change the description of the object, then the HUD will no longer work, so just be careful please :)

Price: 300L$ for a Single style, with 3 different options for the top and 3 different options for the skirt, 9 possible combination via an included HUD.

BUT... for the next 24 hours, in-world only, you get 50% of the price refunded to you instantly! At this display ONLY! HURRY! Of course, if you'd rather pay full price, you can get it on the Marketplace too!

So there you have it, a classy and elegant everyday outfit with a little touch of fun. I do hope you like it!

I hope all your lives are treating you well,

Bright Blessings

Siren Calling

Hello!

Me again. Yes, really me, I haven't been hacked, I just got my shit together more quickly than usual.

LOTS of news for you this time. First up, there is a NEW Evelock Studio! How exciting is that? I have more space and the layout is a lot simpler. Go upstairs for furniture and stay downstairs for everything else. Please do drop by and have a nosey, I'd love to hear what you think of the new place. Click the link over on the right there for a SLURL, or just click here.

So, I have another new release for you! The Siren range from Evelock is a co-ordinated complete outfit comprising a shot silk gown with gem embellishments, a pair of shoes and a jewellery set. I have also included the corset separately so you can wear it with jeans or leggings.

As is so often the way, the Siren range started out with a tiny idea and grew and grew and grew. It has been growing for so long that I can't remember why I chose the name Siren, but I still love it and I think it captures the slinkiness of the garment.

I was inspired by some gems and wanted to create something that was organic and asymmetric but still glamorous. This led to the jewellery happening.

 Then I found a dress mesh that I loved and thought it would work nicely with a shot silk effect, and it did! Then I decided it needed a little more oomph, and tried the siren jewellery shapes... and that worked too! Thus was the Siren dress born.

Some wrestling with colour combinations later, naturally I decided the dress needed shoes to match...

... this is entirely normal. I start out with a small, gentle, easy to do idea and wind up with a massive collection of things!

Shot silk is one of my very favourite fabrics in real life. That magical effect when the light hits the material from a different angle and the navy suddenly flashes turquoise! I have used the Advanced Lighting Model in Second Life to recreate the shot silk effect. You do need ALM to be on to see the light playing across the dress and the shoes, but I promise it's worth it!

I have created 11 combinations that I love, but if you're the creative type and comfortable with the standard edit menu, have a play with the tint on the specular layer and see if you can come up with a personal combination of tint over base that delights you, but please take a copy first in case you mess it up!

The 11 colours are:

Blacklight - a Black base with a strong violet overlay
Blush - a strongish pink with a blue overlay
Bronze - a bronze colour with a yellow overlay
Copper - a copper colour with an orange overlay
Forest - a deep green with a lime overlay
Ice - a pale blue with a strong turquoise overlay
Peacock - a navy base with a strong turquoise overlay
Scarlet - a deep crimson with a bright scarlet overlay
Snow - the palest possible blue with a violet overlay
Steel - a steel grey base with a blue overlay
Ultraviolet - a rich purple base with a hot pink overlay

I had such a blast creating this range, I hope you enjoy wearing it. Right now, you can get your hands on it by visiting my friend Kika's sim, Strict Venus (blog here)and taking advantage of the exclusive pre-release special offer of 25% off, for one week only. Hurry, hurry, hurry that is only seven days! Technical details after the break. For now, thank you for your time, I hope all your lives are treating you well,

Bright Blessings,

Eve :)

Hello!

I bet you didn't expect to hear from me so soon, eh? To be honest, neither did I, but there was a party and I couldn't find the dress I wanted to wear, so I made one, which, in typical fashion, turned into six and here we are again!

This time, it's an elegant, slinky gown that hugs your curves with a nice swoosh of fabric around your ankles. I added some roses as optional brooches to provide a bit of flair and drama if that's your kind of thing. Just leave them off if not. No HUDS, nothing fancy, just a simple gown you put on and go - Slink Physique, Belleza, Maitreya Lara and Fitmesh XS to XL sizes are included in the pack. Priced to be affordable at a very reasonable 125L$.

If you're feeling particularly creative, have some fun with the brooches. Maybe wear them somewhere else, or rip them apart and use bits. You can also further personalise the gown itself by using the standard edit menu. But, please, please, PLEASE take a copy before you start so that you still have the original should it not go entirely according to plan.

I do hope you enjoy wearing this as much as I did making it, and that all your lives are treating you well. You can grab them in the usual ways, either in-world at the Studio, or on marketplace.

Bright Blessings

Eve :)
