California Bound

August 22, 2014, 42 Comments

So I’ve debated when to post this…now, or after all of our road trip posts, but I think I’ll go with now. Some of you may have noticed that our trip to California was a bit long. And that is because Patrick and I were on a secret mission! And that mission was successful! We…

The Isolated Spot Where James Dean Took His Last Breath

On the side of the road just outside of Cholame there is a lonely stretch a road that winds between sun drenched hills there is an intersection that is the location, on a September 30th, one of the brightest stars in Hollywood was snuffed out. James Dean. I had been to the crash site of…

California, Here We Come!

Tomorrow Patrick and I are off on our very first road trip together by ourselves! While we’ve driven to California with our families, this will the the first time where it’s just the two of us and our new car! I’m really excited. We will be doing a bit of sight-seeing along the way before arriving…

Old Town San Diego

Greetings from San Diego! Today I got together with the doll that is Carla of Tiny Angry Crafter and we visited some of the antique shops in the Ocean Beach area (where I bought one little item) before visiting Old Town San Diego. And let me just say, it was incredibly charming. I felt like…

“Tell ’em Howard Hughes Said So”

Over the weekend one of my favorite movies showed at The Hollywood, Disney’s The Rocketeer. It was an early afternoon screening, so I decided to go for a more casual look, instead of getting gussied up. The Rocketeer remains one of my favorite films over the years for its endearing characters and great story, and while…

Wardrobe Woes

Talk about a lack of blogging lately. But it’s for good reason, well, several reasons actually. First off, the weather. It has been raining nearly every day since we got back from California, including all of last week, which was a busy one too, including two send-offs to some very good friends who are off…

Snow Cowgirl

Well, it’s officially a snowpocalypse here in Portland. While our eight inches of snow may be nothing to you people in the upper mid-west or east coast, our City of Roses basically shuts down, as we are not equipped to handle snow (our city doesn’t have many snow plows, and schools close when we have…

Geek Out!

Alright, it’s my last Wizard World post, and then it’s back to the vintage, I promise. So if you’re not into Batman, Bruce Campbell or Star Wars, or never much cared for costumes, you’ll find this post pretty boring. But let’s face some facts here, I’m a girl with a lot of different passions. The…

Holiday Time in PDX

It has been insanely cold the last few days here in Portland, and the other day we even had a bit of snow! But today Patrick and I braved the below freezing temperatures (seriously, it never got above 29F!) to visit some of our favorite shops downtown to do a bit of Christmas shopping. Despite…

A Day at the Races

Today, Patrick and I ventured to Portland Meadows for a day at the races with our friends Angelina and Nick. Going to the horse races is something I’ve always wanted to do, and I’m glad we got to go while the weather was still nice. While we didn’t win a great deal ($2.40!) we got…
