Happy 4th!

July 5, 2016, 3 Comments

Like most holidays, Patrick and I spent Independence Day at Disneyland. I especially was happy because I had the most perfect pin set for the occasion! I haven’t had time to work on any new parasols, so no new themed parasol for the day. However, I realized I had yet to share this one on the…

“It’s Called a Hustle, Sweetheart”

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…

Centaurette

Fantasia is one of Disney’s most classic films, albeit a strange film, as it is comprised of several shorts in which animation is set to classical music, and lacks dialogue. However, it remains just as enchanting over 70 years later. Every short is a work of art, but of course I can’t help but have…

One Sweet Vendula Purse

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…

All Aboard!

While many were busy celebrating Mother’s Day last weekend, we were busy celebrating Patrick’s birthday, which happened to fall on Mother’s Day this year, just as it did when he was born. Now, that isn’t to say we didn’t think of our mothers that day! So don’t sit there thinking we totally ignored them! Anyway!…

Last night Patrick and I went to go see Elvis & Nixon, a film inspired by what may or may not have occurred when Elvis Presley met President Richard Nixon on December 21, 1970. If I wasn’t already digging the idea, the cast made me eager to see it! Michael Shannon, who some may remember…

Flowers and Ferdinand

Over the weekend we went to Disneyland and since it’s still my birthday month, I saw this as a perfect time to do a Ferdinand the Bull Disneybound, as I’m a Taurus and I had a Ferdinand Taurus pin! It was also a perfect time to debut my Ferdinand parasol! Ferdinand was one of the…

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…

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…

Since taking my first parasol out for a spin at the parks, I have received a wave of compliments both in person and in the virtual world. So, thank you to those who have said such kind words! Also, I was asked if I would be making parasols to sell. I’m still not sure om that,…
