Politics and girl talk

I was in the mood to wear a long summery skirt and remembered the Aby dress from DP Serendipity.  I decided to pair the skirt with a tee and vest while the weather is still a little chilly.  I love it either way it's worn.

The Mediterranean at dusk

Pink Outfitters came out with several new items while I was away, including this Grecian Blouse.  I love its silky texture and floaty feel.  It makes me think of a summertime evening somewhere sophisticated and exotic (or maybe that's just because it's called "Grecian").

Mony Moni

After being away from SL for almost two weeks due to a friend's visit, I feel completely out of the loop.  Lucky for me there were some great things waiting for me when I got back.  The first item is the Madeleine Skin, the latest release from YourSkin & YourShape.  While I'm hardly a skin expert, I find this skin absolutely beautiful in every makeup option.  It amazes me how quickly Monicuzza Babenco can put out new skins and continue to get better and better.  Her business partner and friend, Monyka Benelli, came out with two pairs of lovely sculpted feet shoes at the affordable price of 300L each.  Not only are these two talented, but they are also two of the nicest people I've met.  In other newness (for me anyway) is this tee from Drowsy.  It's so adorable... it reminds me of little boys' pajamas.

It must be the warmer weather lately that's been making me think of the very first store in SL that I fell in love with - Surf Co.  When I went back today, I remembered why I loved it so much; the styles are fun and cute and the hand drawn textures are still fabulous.

Gap-toothed smile

One of my RFL Clothing Fair purchases was the Savvy dress by eLDee.  I liked the whole dress, but was particularly drawn in by the top part of it.  When I combined it with pants, I loved it so much that I contacted Lilyana Dryke and asked if she'd be willing to make it in other layers so it can be worn as a separate shirt.  She agreed and even said she'd make other colors of it.  They're not out yet, but I'm looking forward to when they are.  In other newness, Cherry came out with really nice slingbacks (my pictures don't do they justice) and my favorite ring store, SyDS, came out with a ruby version of the chocolate flower ring.
