For our weekend in the desert for Orville Peck’s Rodeo, Patrick and I stayed at my favorite place in the high desert, the Joshua Tree Inn. Long time readers may be familiar with the small motel, as I’ve featured it several times. But this stay was extra special because we stayed in Room 2, which…

Orville Peck’s 5th Annual Rodeo

If you’ve been reading the blog for the last two years, you probably know I’ve fallen head over heels in love with country artist Orville Peck, and last weekend Patrick and I attended his fifth annual Rodeo. In the past, his Rodeos have been single night events where he shares the stage with some of…

Over the last couple of years, Orville Peck has quickly become my favorite musician out there performing today. His unique country sound and style makes him a living Gram Parsons for me (and if you’ve been reading the blog for awhile, you know Parsons is one of my all-time faves), and I made it my…

Hello, 2021!

Welcome to 2021! I’m not sure I’ve ever been so thrilled to see a new year. Over the years my relationship with New Year’s Eve has shifted. When I was in school I didn’t think of it as a big deal, since to me the whole “New Year, New Me” thing didn’t really equate in…

Summertime Farmers Market Outing

Last week I finally went out of the house. Patrick and I have been trying to focus more on zero waste and buying locally, which means farmers markets are a great option. Additionally, they are good for getting some of our groceries amid the pandemic as they are outside. I took this small outing as…

As much as I love Christmas, I’m bummed to say goodbye to the Halloween season. I added a lot to both our vintage Halloween decor collection, as well as my spooky wardrobe, and I didn’t even get to wear all of it! But one new addition to the Halloween closet that was not going to…

What’s In the Fog this Fall at Knott’s Scary Farm

August 30, 2019, 3 Comments

It may still be summer, but Halloween is on the mind! Why? Because last night I attended the Knott’s Scary Farm announcement event, where I learned all kinds of amazing new information about the unique Halloween event that Knott’s Berry Farm offers each fall. As the event was in the evening and inside the massive…

I hope my fellow Americans had a lovely and safe Independence Day. We spent the evening at home enjoying Disneyland’s fireworks from our front yard, but not before going to Knott’s Berry Farm’s Independence Hall as per my tradition for the last couple of years. While Knott’s Berry Farm’s version of Independence Hall is open…

Yes, you’re getting another post about Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, aka Batuu. Here on Batuu, it is a very earthy color palette, and the citizens of the area don lots of layers with vests, wraps, and more. After seeing their ensembles, I became very inspired to look in my wardrobe for something of a similar…

I’ve been working to expand my wardrobe to feature more of just anything and everything I like. I’ve always been a big fan of Victorian inspired looks, which is one of the reasons I love a good Gunne Sax dress, and had a soft spot for gothic looks as well, which we all know takes…
