Miley Cyrus dress print sunglasses iphone purse shoes Miley Cyrus is back in LA and getting back to work!

Girlfriend was LOL-ing on the way to a recording studio in Los Angeles yesterday afternoon, wearing a short, feminine frock.

For once since she's been back, Miley was not attached to the hip with her boyfriend Liam Hemsworth (although we caught her texting on the way in, could she have been sending him some naughty messages?)

Of course, since Miley emphatically told her fans that she and Liam are NOT living together and NOT getting engaged, maybe she was just trying to prove a point that she is an independent woman!
