Backyard Birthday

April 22, 2020, 26 Comments

Yesterday was my birthday…it’s weird to have a birthday during such a wild time in our world…and because of social distancing, I couldn’t have a party or anything. Not that I’ve had one that was my own really in recent years. My birthday weekend has fallen on Dapper Day weekend the last couple of years,…

Birthday Fiesta

December 4, 2017, 5 Comments

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:…

Cacti Love

Last Friday Patrick and I went to Ladies’ and Gents’ Night Out on Magnolia in Burbank. The monthly event is like one big party, with food trucks, live music and lots of sales at the amazing shops along Magnolia. So I swung by some of my favorite shops, and then headed over to Pinup Girl Clothing‘s…

“It’s Called a Hustle, Sweetheart”

June 23, 2016, 3 Comments

If you follow me on Instagram you may have spied I recently completed a parasol inspired by Disney Animation Studio’s recent film, Zootopia, which I quite enjoyed. Well, the other day I finally took it for a spin and Disneybounded as Nick Wilde. Both Nick and Judy are currently at Disney’s California Adventure for meet-and-greets, however on the…

One Sweet Vendula Purse

May 14, 2016, 4 Comments

Recently I was contacted by Vendula London, the makers of extremely funky and unique bags, to see if I was interested in reviewing one of their purses from their latest Spring/Summer collection. What is so funny is that I actually spied one of these on Sammy’s blog, The Soubette Brunette, not too long ago, and…

Mexican Tourist Shoes!

March 30, 2016, 3 Comments

For their Spring/Summer Collection, one of my favorite shoe brands, Miss L Fire, came out with a pair of shoes inspired by one of my favorite vintage garments, the Mexican tourist jacket (which some of you know I collect these, with a current tally of 18, with no two alike), and for the first time ever, I actually…

Two Chips and a Miss

February 14, 2016, 6 Comments

I’m going to be completely honest here. And I know I mention this each and every year, but I am not the biggest fan of Valentine’s Day. I won’t go into all of the reasons, but, the point is, Patrick and I really don’t celebrate the holiday. However, I do find it a good excuse to…

Once Upon a Wintertime

December 11, 2014, 11 Comments

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…

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”…

Autumn Tones

Sorry for the lack of posts lately. I’ve been feeling under the weather, and was in bed most of last week. But I think I’m on the up-and-up. Let’s hope so, because my favorite kind of weather is happening this week…sunny, dry and cold. It means I can wear suede, and I do love me…
