Spring Dapper Day

April 25, 2018, 3 Comments

Last Spring Dapper Day I wore a floral square dancing dress, which I absolutely adored. I had planned to do the same this year, but then I got to thinking about my many neglected Gunne Sax dresses, which I made a New Year’s resolution to wear more of this year. For some reason this dress…

Fans of Walt Disney may know that Walt adored trains. So much so that in 1950 he built a 1/8th scale steam train railroad, which he and his guests were able to ride, at his home in Holmby Hills. Today portions of that train and the barn he built as a workshop live on at…

Over the weekend Disneyland was met with a new theme day, Adventureland Day, a day dedicated to celebrating the wild jungle of Adventureland. I was super excited about this, because while I love Tiki Day, I love what I call “Adventurer Chic” more, and this was the perfect excuse! Since it was on the cooler…

If you follow me on Instagram, then perhaps you know that I was behind the “unofficial theme day” Frontier Day that happened last weekend at Disneyland, a day that celebrates Disneyland’s Frontierland, and of course western wear was encouraged!

Christmas in Frontierland

Like spending Christmas Eve at Knott’s Berry Farm as become a tradition, spending Christmas Day at Disneyland is also one for us. It’s one of the few places open on Christmas, and while it’s usually very busy, we always enjoy ourselves. I thought it was also a perfect opportunity to wear my vintage Guatemalan Weavers…

Over the weekend one of my friend celebrated his birthday, and with his Mexican heritage he encouraged his friends to incorporate Mexican elements into their ensembles for a visit to Disneyland, and while I never really need an excuse to break out any Mexican influenced garments, I do love a good excuse! Outfit Peasant Top:…

Dapper Day, the twice annually event that both well dressed folks and Disney lovers look forward to every year, was last weekend.
