Don’t you just love clothes that move?  This lovely Lady Monaco dress from A la Folie is one of those wonderful  dresses that move with you. Can’t you just picture it out on the dance floor? Even if you’re the first person voted off Dancing With the Stars, you could look like a great dancer in this dress. Add to that the bold choice of the cerise cummerbund sash with the apricot dress color and the festive glitter top and you have a real winner. And it comes with shoes!

Frankly, 90% of the time when a dress comes with shoes, they hit the trash can the first time I put them on.  They are usually clunky and poorly made and I dig out something else. Not this time. These are actually lovely matching shoes that look like the creator has made shoes before. Yummy!!

Kavar Cleanslate has been on a roll this month – retexturing his old hair and producing wonderful new hair like this. It’s called Miss Southern Belle and what a perfect name for this collection of wild curls and extravagance.  It’s great for photos too, formed so that half of it doesn’t sink into your body and disappear. The necklace and earrings are from an adorable set from HaysUriza that she gave me after I IM’ed her in order to buy a gift of a fatpack of shoes for a friend’s rez day. Sometimes store owners who don’t offer gift cards or gift options will be willing to simply let you pay them directly for the items and drop them on your friend(s) when you want to give a gift. It never hurts to ask and sometimes, as in this case, you have a lovely conversation with a friendly and creative designer. Just be sure to read their profile first in case they have a customer service rep who deals with requests or they have other directions or policies on gifts.

The skin is Jesse from Belleza. Belleza skins have a soft romanticism that I love and Jesse fits right into that tradition.
