A Groovy 66th Birthday for Disneyland

July 21, 2021, 4 Comments

Last weekend Disneyland celebrated its 66th anniversary. We visited the park with a few friends, and I used the occasion to make another vintage Disneyland ephemera inspired outfit. I’m a sucker for vintage ephemera, especially Disneyland related ephemera. Disneyland created some great paper shopping bags over the decades, and awhile back I purchased one on…

Returning to Disneyland after Over a Year Away

June 1, 2021, 3 Comments

Disneyland is known for open being every day of the year, and has only had unplanned closures as a result of tragedy or safety, with the closures only lasting one day, but last year all of that changed, when COVID shut down Disneyland for over 365 days. On April 30 Disneyland reopened, but Patrick and…

A Visit to Disneyland

May 8, 2020, 4 Comments

Let’s take a trip to Disneyland, but Disneyland in 1965… Disneyland may be closed currently, but thanks to a little book called A Visit to Disneyland we can all pretend that we have stepped into a time machine to visit Walt Disney’s original Magic Kingdom. I hope you all enjoyed this little peek into Disneyland…

Fortune and Glory

If you’ve been reading the blog for awhile, then you know I love to attend the various unofficial theme days at Disneyland. Last weekend was Adventureland Day, inspired by the explorers, skippers, and tiki birds of Adventureland. It was rather chilly, it even rained, and the sun played hide and seek all day, so I…

Valentine’s Day Lunch on Main Street

February 19, 2020, 3 Comments

Over the years I’ve mentioned that I’m not the biggest fan of Valentine’s Day. But it’s slowly grown on me. However Patrick and I have never do anything big, and don’t exchange gifts. Since moving to California, I’ve used Valentine’s Day as an excuse to wear something red and/or pink, maybe with hearts, and go…

Christmas, but make it Star Wars

December 31, 2019, 3 Comments

Way back in October I received my very own custom hand painted Star Wars inspired jacket by my friend and fellow Star Wars fan, Solanah. But, between all the craziness that is the Halloween and Christmas seasons, I failed to find the time to do a proper reveal of the jacket. However when working on…

Once Upon a Wintertime

December 17, 2019, 2 Comments

Last weekend Patrick and I celebrated our ninth wedding anniversary. We didn’t do anything too fancy, since things have been hectic lately, and opted just to do dinner at Cafe Orleans at Disneyland. They currently offer hot chocolate beignets and they are absolutely delicious. Since we had a winter wedding, I wanted to wear a…

Fall Dapper Day with Friends

November 5, 2019, 6 Comments

Fall Dapper Day came right on the heels of Halloween this year, but for the most part we played it pretty chill, spending most of the day roaming, taking photos and eating food. Like previous unofficial theme days at Disneyland, you’re not only getting pictures of me, but also photos of some of my stylish…

A Walk on the Dark Side

Last week my friend Solanah (some of you long time readers may remember her from my old days in Portland) came to visit to spend a couple days at Disneyland, and our friend Brittany joined us. Prior to the visit we all decided to wear flowing red ensembles to Disneybound as the Emperor’s Royal Guards…

Inspired by the Inspired

While I always love a good witchy ensemble, the Halloween season really brings it out. Not too long ago I scored a vintage top hat at a thrift store, and having recently re-watched American Horror Story: Coven, I threw together an outfit inspired by Misty Day, whose look is inspired by Stevie Nicks, known for…
