Viva Mexico! I’m thrilled to share my Day of the Dead adventures with you — starting now. Gracias to the Mazatlan Tourism Board for making this special series possible.

I’m wearing gorgeous hair accessories gifted by BabyClay — love the feathers and hand-sculpted clay. The new collection, BabyVuDo, is available on Etsy, and you can request a custom design.

The ringlet hair is inspired by Milady in the Three Musketeers.

The bird claw and crucifix jewelry is gifted by Fashionology. A lovely collection of silver rings, necklaces, earrings and cuffs, inspired by art and nature.

My makeup is “classic La Carmina” with dark shading, white highlights and fake lashes. Don’t forget the trademark nail art.

My film crew and I shot three videos about Mazatlan’s dark art/culture. We began with a hotel tour.

Red purse: vintage Nina Ricci, from my mother’s closet. She wore it in the 1980s.
Goth top: h.NAOTO, from Closet Child
Skirt: Fernopaa, from Studio Alta Shinjuku
Epic boots: Alice and the Pirates, from Closet Child

We arrived in Mexico on Halloween — hence the undead look and RIP tombstones.

We’re currently editing the videos; can’t wait to show you the glorious architecture and beaches. (The dress is gifted by Sourpuss Clothing.)

So many golden moments.

The journalists on the press trip stayed in different hotels. Luckily, we had rooms at the spectacular Riu Emerald Bay. It’s an all-inclusive resort that opened only two years ago.

Animal-shaped towels on the bed.

Fresh coconut juice by the pool.

And every room has a balcony that overlooks the ocean. Now that’s heavy metal. (Bracelets gifted by Fashionology.)

Next, I’ll post photos of my Halloween outfit, and show you how we celebrated: tequila-style.

Have you ever been to Mazatlan, or anywhere in Mexico? Or celebrated Day of the Dead?
