Wardrobe Shop Review

September 30, 2017, 1 Comment

Recently I collaborated with Wardrobe Shop, an on-line retailer specializing in vintage inspired clothing, but with an emphasis on older decades, such as the late 1800s, the early 1900s, and the 1920s, an area I’ve been wanting to expand upon more in my wardrobe. Lately I’ve been feeling the whole 70s does Victorian, and putting…

The Abandoned Movie Ranch of Corriganville

March 6, 2017, 5 Comments

Over the weekend Patrick and I visited Corriganville Park, the former location of Corriganville, a western backlot and amusement park of sorts from 1949 to 1965. Corriganville was built by movie and TV actor Ray Bernard, but better known as Crash Corrigan. After going on a hunting trip in Simi Valley with fellow actor, Clark…

Have you ever just had an idea for something with no real reason behind it except that it would just be cool? Well, I had one of those when we made plans to visit Joshua Tree National Park over the days we were spending out there for my birthday. People love taking pictures with their…

I Don’t Work Here.

After sitting on something during a recent visit to Disneyland (thankfully nothing too horrific, and I was in a repro skirt), I decided I should buy some more repro skirts, and felt that Pin-Up Girl Clothing‘s boutique in Burbank would offer the best solutions. Additionally Patrick decided it was finally time to splurge and buy some…

Buffalo Tour

It’s no secret that a good chunk of my wardrobe comes from Buffalo Exchange, the resale chain, as I spent a great deal of time there due to proximity. So when I heard about an upcoming anniversary sale with a focus on western and vintage, I kind of freaked out. Their twice yearly ‘zine upped…

Saturday Drive

As noted earlier, Patrick and I finally bought a car! Originally we had plans to take it to the drive-in this weekend, but rain prevented that from happening – maybe next weekend! However we still decided to go out for a nice country drive down Highway 99 to McMinnville (also known as Oregon’s wine country,…

The Dusty 45s

February 1, 2014, 5 Comments

Last night, Patrick and I joined Sarah of Simply Vintage for a night at Doug Fir seeing The Dusty 45s. This outfit contains two of my more recently acquired prized possessions; the wool fringe vest and the Kachina doll ring. The vest I picked up a local rummage sale for a mere $5! I was…

Bettie to the Rescue!

Every so often you just need that one specific thing in your wardrobe. For me, it was a red pencil skirt. I had one awhile back that I talked myself into buying, despite the fact it didn’t fit very well, and every time I wore it I got grumpy. So I sold it off with…

Austin 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. I believe it lacks the charm and history of Disneyland. However, this may change when the new refurbishments are complete, but…
