Dapper Cowgirl

With so many Halloween festivities, fall Dapper Day (an unofficial day at the Disneyland Resort when Guests are encouraged to “step out in style” for a day at the park) really snuck up on me and I honestly felt like I had nothing to wear. But when I noticed the temperatures were going to be on…

Halloween at Knott’s

November 3, 2016, 2 Comments

When it came time for us to decide how to spent Halloween, we didn’t hesitate when some friends suggested just spending it at Knott’s Berry Farm. It was a pretty laid back but enjoyable day that transitioned into a fun evening as the fog and monsters rolled in once the sun set. We didn’t get…

Knott’s Spooky Farm

October 9, 2016, 3 Comments

During the weekends throughout October Knott’s Berry Farm transforms into Knott’s Spooky Farm, a family friendly atmosphere where kids can dress up, trick-or-treat and meet Peanuts characters dressed up in their very own Halloween costumes, as well as friendly spirits in Ghost Town. Yesterday, Patrick, myself, and a few friends decided to visit and it…

Thanksgiving at Clifton’s

November 27, 2015, 19 Comments

April 2026 Update: After years of ups and downs and intermittent closures, Clifton’s has new owners. I hope that the change will result in more regular hours. When Patrick and I heard that Clifton’s was doing a special Thanksgiving meal we instantly decided that is what we were going to do for the holiday. I’m…

Fallin’ for Fall

November 16, 2015, 4 Comments

In between the first of October and the day after Thanksgiving, I try to cram as much fall color palette into my wardrobe as possible. It’s also a time to wear sweater sets! So for an afternoon at the park I broke out this pale tan colored sweater set. The highlight of the day though…

Sunshine and Shoe Shopping

October 17, 2015, 6 Comments

After putting up with several pairs of shoes for awhile, shoes that just weren’t cutting it, I broke down and decided to go on a shopping spree at Re-Mix and at Olvera Street. I won’t lie, I am thrilled to be able to visit Re-Mix’s storefront in LA, because I have never been a fan…

Autumnal Hues

I am feeling on the up and up with this cold I’ve had for awhile, and yesterday Patrick and I went out to do a bit of holiday shopping at some of the antique malls in town. Though this is often my problem when I catch something, I start to feel better, run around and…

Disney Dinner Double Date

November 25, 2014, 7 Comments

Say that three times fast! Heh! Sunday night Patrick and I met up with a couple (that we had met briefly at Mahaloween actually!) for dinner at Disneyland. Not only were the couple fellow Disney enthusiasts, they also just recently moved to southern California from Portland. I’m still trying to wrap my mind around wearing my “regular”…

Cold Weather Cowgirl

November 30, 2013, 4 Comments

The weather has turned quite brisk here in the Rose City and I am finding myself swaddled in wool and leather this fall… This outfit is pretty representative of what my fall uniform has been these last few months…western wear blouse or sweater (in this case, it’s a fabulous mixture of both!), pants, cowboy boots,…

Forties Fall

November 19, 2013, 21 Comments

I think a common misconception about vintage is that it automatically means wearing dresses or skirts all the time. That’s not the case. I thrive on vintage casual looks and love me a good pair of pants. Tasha of By Gum By Golly does a fabulous job of vintage casual too. But pants doesn’t always…
