Lookin' California, Feelin' Minnesota!

{Taken Outside of the Hard Alley Club}

Hey guys and dolls! 

I hope I am finding you all in good spirits. The weekend approaches soon. I should be happy about it but I can't be lol. I've had the week off, (not by choice!) and will be returning to work Monday. The days off have been nice though and much needed in so many ways. I've been sick and simply needed the rest so I am thankful to have had these few days to spend at home. It also gave me a few more chances to pop in SL and enjoy all the shopping, events, and visits with the people I adore. 

Speaking of people I adore, DRBC recently released this adorbs dress that I knew a lot of my readers would just fall in love with! This is one of my favorite prints but she made a plethora of them, so you have a ton of options, polka dots galore and a Hello Sailor! one that is to die for! Make sure you follow DRBC (as linked above) on Facebook for updates on recent releases.

I couldn't help but take advantage of someones ride parked outside of the new Hard Alley Club! That's right, Hard Alleys Retroville has moved sims! So make sure to pop over and visit. The club is active with some pretty awesome DJ's! The music ranges from punk to rock to...just everything! The company is great and  oh yeah....I hang out there so that's a bonus right?! Come over and get down with us sometime!
Be back in two shakes of a lambs tail <3

Mrs. Lovett's Meat Pies

Hey luvs!
I hope your week is off to a great start. I know we all hate our Mondays. Every time it rolls around I go through the 'Damn it, I don't want to adult' talk with someone lol.
With Halloween right around the corner, I am just having a ball with all of these events and being able to take all these pictures.
Collabor88 this round was pretty amazing! It's been open for 5 days now so hopefully the crowd has simmered down a bit and it's easier for you to make it in. Even more events have opened so move around and let people get in already.
The 'Burtonesque' theme has to be one of my favorites so far. Death Row Designs made an awesome set, very on theme, very quirky, just like Burton! I think my favorite part of the set were the pictures...the clocks, no the pictures....wait the tea set! I love it all haha. It allowed me to create a little set up and imagine a story line for Mrs. Lovett, who is one of my favorite characters ever.
I read somewhere once that 'The Worst Pies In London" song was one of the hardest songs to sing because the pitch is all over the place. Up and down so fast. So here I am, always trying to sing it!
Petite Mort dropped this adorbs dress on me in just the nick of time for this post. It complimented Mrs. Lovett's look so well! It is available at the Mad Circus Halloween Event so go go go snag it while you can!
Also...oh this skin by the Skinnery at C88, my goodness. One of my favorite features on the Skinnery skin is the lips. She adds such awesome detail to them! I love the worn look around the eyes and the pale skin tone. I just love it. Brava Uma, I say more! <3
I have lots more to show you always luvs. I will be back soon!

Twiggy {Vintage & Cool}

{These photos taken at Anarchist Bay}

I know I have some fellow Twiggy fans as Gia's World followers, I have to! Who doesn't love Twiggy? I remember finding a magazine at a family friends house. She collected things from that era. There was a whole spread on Twiggy and I found her absolutely adorable. With her small frame and pixie style haircut, wide eyes and untouchable style, she definitely made an impression. 

So as Vintage & Cool continues, and the celebration of all that is Vintage & Cool is continuously celebrated in Gia's World, I thought I would make a post in dedication to one of the icons of the 60's.

I do know that SyS have to be Twiggy fans since they made this outfit for Vintage & Cool and named it after her. It also included a set of bug-eyed glasses that I thought were super cute!

I loved using the vibrant colors often used in the 60's era. I love my gloomy pics but this was a completely different thing for me to do. 

I won't keep you though. Make sure to make your way there, if you haven't been to Vintage & Cool already, enjoy the view and make sure to snag all the things that are Vintage & Cool! <3
