“Don’t you kind of love December”

December 13, 2016, 3 Comments

The other day Patrick and I decided to go to Disneyland for brunch. I know it may seem really weird that my last post and this one involve Pat and I going to amusement parks for dining, but seriously, we have no food right now and it’s been pointless to go to grocery shopping, as we…

Saying Goodbye to the 60th

With September beginning tomorrow, Halloween and all things pumpkin flavored are on the mind. But come September 5th, Disneyland’s Diamond Celebration for their 60th anniversary will finally end. Yes, the Diamond Celebration lasted well over a year, but it was such fun. With our visit to Portland coming up, we popped in to experience the 60th…

Gibson Girl Goes to Disneyland

Last Sunday, Pinup Girl Clothing (or PUG, and pronounced like the dog, as it is affectionately called) hosted Pin-Up Parade in the Park, their themed day at Disneyland Park. It’s a day to celebrate pin-up style, while, preferably of course wearing PUG’s stuff, and enjoying the park with many, many vintage and retro loving gals. I…

While millions were out searching for deals on Black Friday, Patrick and I went to Disneyland to get into the Christmas spirit, do a bit of gift shopping, and say “Hi” to a few characters. As for our place, it’s all decorated for the holidays, have been for about a week or so. Took about…

Fallin’ for Fall

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…

If you recall my post from our visit to Disneyland on July 17th, you’ll have spied our Kodak dual lens camera that we brought along. Patrick shot a few rolls there as we celebrated Disneyland’s 60th birthday. Well, I’m happy to say we got the film developed and I’m eager to share some of the…

A Diamond Studded Affair

Despite my many visits to Disneyland Resort during its 60th anniversary Diamond Celebration, I had yet to meet our beloved characters along Main Street USA in their special outfits designed just for the 60th. Part of that was because I wanted to wear an outfit inspired by their outfits! And I finally was able to…

Happy Birthday, Disneyland!

On July 17th, 1955, Walt Disney, famous prior for his feature length animated films and a little guy called Mickey Mouse, introduced the world to a new form of family entertainment with his creation, Disneyland. On that day, which was full of festivities, though not without issues (including women’s heels sinking into the freshly laid…

Prepare to be Dazzled

This year Disneyland celebrates its 60th anniversary, and in keeping with landmark anniversary traditions, like with the 50th, in which the park gleamed in gold, this year, the park has been bedazzled in diamonds. While the actual anniversary of Disneyland is not until July 17th, the Resort kicked off the celebration (which is slated to…

Once Upon a Wintertime

Earlier this week Patrick and I went on the Holiday Time tour at Disneyland. Like the Happiest Haunts tour we took in the fall, the Holiday Time tour is also seasonal, limited to the time when the Disneyland Resort is celebrating the holidays. For our tour I wore a pin from a trio I bought…
