Today was so beautiful, I decided to pack a bikini and head to the beach! I slipped on my LUAS TYENE WHITE Mesh Camisk/Dress (50L on the Marketplace), grabbed my Kakia Designs (NH) Signature Newport Bag (FREE on the Marketplace), and threw my lotion, glasses and little *CC* – Mesh Bikini – Gift Red (1L on the Marketplace), from *Chipmunk* Clothing Store, in it and headed out to Baja Norte. This adorable dress from LUAS is so versatile…you can wear it as is or you can wear the sheer version…it also comes with the beautiful chest ribbon, flower crown and two arm bracelets! The beach was packed with people, birds and other wildlife and it was hot…so I ducked into a building and changed into my *CC* little red bikini; so I could take a swim and cool off. I tucked my sundress into my FREEKakia Designs signature Newport Bag and took off for the surf!
I had a blast swimming, surfing, building sand castles and watching the pelicans in the surf. Good thing I did my nails this morning with my FREEFLAIR (no group join) Fingernail/Toenail Slink Appliers A/E …in Watermelon…they looked perfect with my dress and bikini!

In observance of Memorial Day, it’s a long weekend here in the U.S. And let me tell you, this extra day off couldn’t have come at a better time! I intend to relax and not do one useful thing today! 🙂 I’ve headed out to the beach in this comfy, Summer Tropics Watermelon dress and hat, the May group gift from Hudson’s Clothing Co. (free to join). These texture-change sunglasses are a free gift from SteinWerk, and my over-sized beach bag is only 10L from Kakia Designs. It also comes with a lipstick and compact, in case you need to do a little touching up after a day of fun in the sun.
I’m really loving this new skin: Irene, the latest release from Izzie’s. This special version is currently featured at The Dressing Room Fusion for 70L, with a choice of three eyebrow colors. My jewelry, a free group gift from Miel, has been around for a while and shown many times here at FabFree, but I still like it because it’s so versatile. Both the beads and strings are texture-changing, so you can match them to just about anything. My hair was a holiday group gift from LeLutka, but I’m happy to report that you can still pick it up for free in the store. 8 different colors and a hat are included in the box. 🙂
