P is for Perla in Donna Flora A to Z

And Perla just happens to be my FAVORITE dress from Donna Flora’s collection! It can be worn as a casual day dress with the hat or dressed up and worn out for a night on the town with some fancy jewelry. I chose the casual look today, as it IS Sunday.

Week 5 – Patina

I did an inventory search and came up with this dress from e! which seemed to be the perfect match for Patina!  I also downloaded the newest Firestorm viewer and low and behold I could shoot SHADOWS and not lag!!!!

You have no idea how happy that makes me… I have an ATI graphics card and it seems SL and shadows do not like ATI cards… until now (shhhh don’t tell anyone lest they take it away).

Week 3 – Electric Indigo

Short and sweet cause I’m going to try to catch up today….
Electric Indigo was a sweater that was custom made for me by my friend Gideon Styles, owner and creator of *G* Styles Fashion & Design.  He has a great line of shirts for men and women.

O.M.G. It's Shadows for Gala!!!!

I have tried and tried and tried to get shadows in SL and without fail they have failed me. Until now that is. Today I had a catastrophic failure of my Firestorm Viewer and for some reason it would NOT let me back in to SL. So I messaged one of my photographer friends and she gave me a couple of viewer suggestions to try. Well the very first one I tried was Nirans Viewer and O.M.G. IT RAWKS!

Anywho…. back to my Look of the Day….
First, for my casual look today, I’ve donned a cute sweater and pair of capri jeans from Somnia.

LOTD 11 22 11-1

This warm sweater is from the Striped Queen collection and the pants are from the Tweed Waders Muted collection. Both are new to the store and perfect for a cool fall day.

This jewelry set is one I happened to pick up at the Vintage Fair and is a very versatile piece from Amorous called Refrain.  The jewels are color changing and so is the metal.
