Los Muertos

{Taken at Livid Mainstore}

Hey guys and dolls! SO much to catch up on but hey it's the weekend!

If you're a long time resident of Gia's World then you know that Dia De Los Muertos is a celebration that I've loved since I was just a lil girl. It's a part of my heritage, a part of my family. Not just sugar skulls and marigolds but something with so much meaning behind it! Although, I cannot ever get enough of my sugar skulls and fluffy flowers. I love that so many people fell in love with it too, people of all cultures. It's a time to look back on memories with our loved ones that have passed on. Remember their life and the things they loved and celebrate with them for a day (in my case, 3 days). The sweet smells, photographs, personal items, etc. bring our loved ones right to the present and make you feel as if they are there with you....maybe they are! Maybe you don't understand this part at all, maybe you just love the sugar skulls, in any case...it's a gorgeous holiday and one we love to dress up for!

Glam Affair has an awesome release for the new round of Collabor88. These lovely appliers for Lelutka Mesh Head stole my heart! There's several different styles but this was one of my favs. Here are the others!

The roses on my head are also available at Collabor88 so don't forget to grab those while you're there! (along with alll the other things! I loved this round!)

I was so happy that when I hopped over to Livid, I walked right into this whole setup. It made taking the picture all that more easy. If you're looking for any Dia De Los Muertos decor, that's the place you want to head over to!

Hope you all have an amazing weekend! Go go play grabby hands at C88, or try to haha. I know the struggle trying to get in is real! <3

But First, Let Me Take A Vintage Selfie {Festival of Sin}

Hey dolls! So glad I had a chance to touch base again before my week starts up again! It's going to be a great week....say it with me okay? lol. I hope so anyway!
Soooo many events have started up and my goodness, it's so hard to keep track of them all!  One of the ones I hope you have made it a point to visit is the Festival of Sin II! Such a fun event with tons of SL's top designers in one place, with such an awesome theme, it's pretty awesome to see what they come up with.
The first sin I picked of course was 'Vanity'. I am not familiar with this sin haha but playing a Toreador in Vampire the Masquerade, it was just the one I had to do!
I was able to snag this dress by Valentina who is be far one of the SL designers I will proudly say I fan girl over. I don't even care. Seriously, I don't think I have seen anything by Valentina that I haven't been absolutely taken with. This dress was no exception! This is in the 'Vanity' part of the sim. It so belongs there. With its gorgeousness, I couldn't stop looking at my own avatar haha. I was also undecided on which color to get but surprisingly, I went with pink! *gasp* Good luck with that one. I loved all the colors.

So about the event...
The sim is separated by the 7 sins. Make sure to visit each one, browse around, snag all the goodies and take a look at your surroundings! They're a funny bunch those ones! They tossed in some things to keep you entertained that's for sure!

Okay luvs! Have fun and happy shopping! See you all real soon! <3
