Viva the Mexican Tourist Jacket

While my closet is full of beautiful cocktail dresses and other lovely frocks, some of my favorite items are my more casual ones. I have a huge passion for the southwest, and especially California. I adore palm trees, cacti and old Spanish Missions and all of these come together in one of my favorite vintage…

The main reason I tagged along on Patrick’s business trip to SXSW was because I’d never been to Austin and the city seemed to offer up a decent amount of vintage shops to check out. I checked out four areas of Austin, leaving out at least two good sized shopping areas due to time, proximity,…

On our second day we decided to venture over to California Adventure purely to ride Tower of Terror. I’ll come right out and say it – I am NOT a fan of California Adventure.

Friday was our first day of three that we spent in the Disneyland Park and my special Disneyland Skirt made its debut and boy was it a coming out party it was. I had guests and cast members alike comment on it, and countless people (some asked, others didn’t) took my picture. A few questions…

After seeing Brian Setzer, we headed to my dad’s to stay the night and then spend Christmas Eve in Eugene where my mum and brother came over. My first gift was from my dad which happened to be a Dream Pet style hippo! Since my favorite Christmas song is “I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas”…
