This Friday brought another summery release, with Rio Chicas delivering lots of glitter and bold colors, perfect for a summer vacation wardrobe!

Rio isn’t one of my favorite stores, but I must say I’m totally enchanted by this collection, especially the Versace inspired starfish dress. Ben, with a little help from Lullih, did a fantastic job!

As we approach tribute season, I’m not sure if the amount of Versace inspired items in this collection is a hint that a Versace tribute is coming soon or the opposite, that we won't be getting one. There are also pieces from Miu Miu and Dsquared2, two brands that recently had tributes in the game and are being requested again by players. What do you think?

Below you can see some of the real life versions of the items from this Rio collection:

Entering the mood for Carnival season, today's release features a new Rio Chicas collection, filled with lots of feathers and glitter.

I can say that most of these pieces will be a huge success in the Carnival Queen and King competition this year and are perfect for those who like to dress for the occasion. Personally, I prefer getting the more casual pieces that can be mixed and matched all year long.

Today's release is a small Rio collection containing a total of 21 pieces (20 if you consider that the pair of earrings comes in both suite and BP versions). Also, this release officially marks the end of the tribute season, and we're now back to regular store releases.
