Christmastime in Orange

December 23, 2014, 11 Comments

One thing I love about the new city we call home is the old town area of Orange. It’s a charming area of old buildings that are home to a variety of businesses, including many antique malls. The area also has a roundabout that features a small park in the middle, complete with fountain. Earlier…

Over the weekend Patrick and I did a bit of last minute Christmas shopping. We’ve been super busy lately and while getting dressed up to go shopping is always appealing, we were rushing around so I opted for a more casual, but still festive look. So here’s a somewhat random fact about me, I love…

Today Patrick and I went to Don the Beachcomber in Huntington Beach for the International Tiki Marketplace. While my interest in tiki is not as deep as some, my brother is really into tiki, and I felt it would be a great opportunity to find him a unique Christmas present. There were loads of swell…

Last night Patrick and I went to Disneyland for dinner and to enjoy the Christmas decorations that recently went up. I’ve also had the pleasure of meeting several people who love vintage and Disneyland, so we hung out with them as well. I’ve been having trouble getting into the Christmas spirit (I think it was…

Frozen

Earlier in the week two friends mention they hadn’t seen Frozen yet, and we immediately set to remedy that. Because clearly I needed to see Frozen for a third time in cinemas. I won’t lie, I had a really hard time picking a coat that worked with this ensemble. Sometimes it really sucks when you…

Well, it’s officially a snowpocalypse here in Portland. While our eight inches of snow may be nothing to you people in the upper mid-west or east coast, our City of Roses basically shuts down, as we are not equipped to handle snow (our city doesn’t have many snow plows, and schools close when we have…

Yesterday Portland received a mid-winter treat; snow! Portland proper really doesn’t get a lot of snow, as we are basically at sea level. So when we do get snow, the whole city pretty much freaks out and shuts down. But seeing as The Monuments Men came out today, Patrick and I braved the snow covered…

A Case of the Blues…

Not really…just, I really love wearing blues in January, as you may have noticed in my last post. I feel that blue really celebrates winter in a beautiful way, and when it came time to get dressed to go out to drinks with some friends over the weekend, I settled upon this outfit… While I…

Last night Patrick and I went to go see Frozen again. And my favorite color palette for January melded perfectly with the film… I just finished reading The Art of Frozen and was happy that I did so before seeing the film again. I was able to spy many details that may have gone overlooked…

This Christmas was a little different. Normally we travel to my dad’s for Christmas morning, but this year my dad and brother came to us! I opted for a more casual look, as Patrick and I prepped a breakfast buffet for my family. After good food and presents, the remainder of the day was…
