Shadows, sales and socks

I downloaded the latest version on Kirsten's viewer and I am having a shadow problem with it :( When I enable shadows, on my screen my avatar looks all a blur so I couldnt really see the picture I took - however when I opened it in PS it was clear - odd .......

As you may already know, Ricielli is having a $20L sale on all red items in store for a short time - I picked up a few things including the Petra Minidress. I am wearing the top of the Petra dress with the $50L Friday skirt from Deco's Evening Dress in Olive. I also bought the same dress in cherry when it was on $50L Friday - the top part of the dress will not work for me at all but I do like the skirts very much so I am happy.

Arrrggh!

I told myself I would avoid red or green posts this month but already I am breaking my own rules!

I was at Milk Motion today looking to see if I could find the With Love Hunt prize as I did see someone (sorry can't remember the blog) make a post showing a cute skin as the gift. Anyway I could not find the item but I did see a cute cardi - and bought it in red (well 'tis the season). It comes with a sculpted bottom part which I am not wearing.

Later I was wandering around Tram and saw a sweet little dress that I thought would look cute with the cardi but it was only in Navy or White - of course I checked and saw they are modify (yay) so I grabbed the white and turned it red :)



The LB shoes from Luce were just the right shade so easy shoe choice.

Skin - one I havent worn for ages and I really like it - Ugly Duck - Laura - red

Hair - Louise Brooks in softest black from Clawtooth

Hairband - from FD - it was free

Stockings - Maitreya

Pearls - Deco - Nov Group Gift

Eyes - Night Rain from Poetic Colors

Not Yet Feeling the Love :(

I have to say that after how much I have looked forward to the With Love Hunt I am feeling dissapointed - I have only done 4 stores (not in order) and at home opened 3 of the items and decided to stop hunting until I see some more pics of the items on blogs and go only for those that I will like.

The three I opened were:

1. Mortanique - after buying the nice chair yesterday I was hoping for a nice piece of furniture - instead it is a picture - now it is well made but - I was kinda "meh" when I saw it.

2. The next item I opened was the snowglobe from La Petit Mort - now I had seen that blogged and it looked fun - but in fact it comes with only one pose and that is on a poseball - again not a badly made item but not as good as I had hoped for.

3. I then opened the Callie CLine one - and was so dissapointed - the box said "Awesomeness" and I was quite hopefull - but inside were a collar and cuffs in black and white :(

The above is just how I felt about the items - other people may love them.

So back to my inventory - oh and hair I bought from CLawtooth today for $50L Friday - the only item on that list I got today.




Skin - Belleza - Elle Fair - past Group Gift

Time is running out!

If you have not managed to get over to Maitreya for the 50% off sale yet, keep trying - time is running out and the sale ends on 22nd.

There are so many lovely clothes, shoes and hairs at Maitreya that I am sure nearly everyone will find something (or many things) they want to buy at the sale.

In this post I am showing a nice retro look - I am really into this style at the moment.



The hair and hat (with veil) are from Clawtooth - this is one of the $75L packs Bubbles is offering at the moment - they are from last year's hair fair - this style is called "timeless" and I think it is beautiful.

The skirt is from Maitreya, Highskirt in Aqua

Shoes also from Maitreya, Shanti in Dark Ecru

The beautiful blouse is Valerie from LeeZu - be aware this is a sheer blouse but can be made opaque by wearing it on more than one layer. The ruffle at the neck is really nicely made.

Skin by Dutch Touch - Jolie Smokey SMooth in Caramel

Eyes - Night Rain by Poetic Colors

The necklace is Travellers' Charms by Yummy

Bangle and nails by Mandala

Phot taken at Trilogy Shelter

Model - Ren Latoe
