Dress: Vintage, Belt: Vintage, Hat: Vintage, Purse: Vintage, Shoes: Urban Outfitters, Petticoat: Malcomodes So, finally posting about ACTUAL Fall Dapper Day! And my second Dapper Day was just as fun, if not more fun, than my first Dapper Day because I now knew what to expect. My friend and I knew what we wanted to do that day: take beautiful pictures and run around California Adventure! Last Dapper Day, I barely got to go to California Adventure but this time, I was able to full embrace it AND finally go to Cars Land! Before this I never wanted to wait in land, so I would skip it, but my friend insisted we get it as our first Fast Pass. And I loved it! While I don't like the Cars movies, and had to hold by victory rolls in place (vintage aesthetic struggle) I had such a blast when we were zooming around the track! I forgot how fun California Adventure is! I really hope to visit it again soon (hint hint *wink wink*).

Overall, the day was full of running into other beautifully dressed people, eating delicious food (including getting ice cream even though it was quite cold at night), and just enjoying the Disneyland way of life. The only sad part, was that the day got dark so early! While it was beautiful to watch the skyline, and watch the parade, I always like to stretch out my "day" as long as possible when at Disneyland. I love Disneyland and I love dressing up in vintage dresses so Dapper Day is a dream come true for me.

Quick side note, my dress is vintage and (I think) looks pretty fab, but can you believe I got it on Ebay for only $31!? I love shopping for vintage online because as long as you know your measurements and don't mind asking the seller some questions, you can get some seriously amazing deals. I actually have my Spring Dapper Day dress picked out and found it on Ebay! Don't knock it until you try it!

Keep checking into my blog and Instagram  (ID: dressesandcapes) if you want to see more of my vintage style! Until next time, TTFN. Ta ta for now.

Disneyland Minnie Disneybound

Top: Forever 21, Skirt: Forever 21, Bow: DIY, Shoes: Converse, Backpack: Amazon

In case you can't tell I'm a Disneyland fiend. Anytime I have the opportunity to go to Disneyland, I will take it. And of course, when I'm at Disneyland I'm going to Disneybound, and who would I do but the famous Mouse herself? Minnie Mouse! I actually almost wore my Minnie Mouse cosplay that I wore to D23, but I thought was a little too on the nose. (haha! I crack myself up). But highlight! When we were watching the parade, Belle noticed me and did a bow motion and smiled! Guys, Belle liked my Disneybound! So happy! I even got it on camera, sort of...

Anyways, as always I had an absolute blast at Disneyland and it was made even better by the fact that I got to go with my sis, cousin, and best friend. We had so much fun walking around the park and singing Disney songs, trying to join parades (and promptly being told we can't), and eating ourselves silly with snacks (Disney themed of course). I wish that I could go to Disneyland every week with these guys, but unfortunately we have the real world to deal with. Just wanted to give you guys a quick look at my Disneybound and my day in the park. Until next time, which should be sooner, TTFN ta ta for now.

Flower Power Dapper Day at Disneyland

Dress: Vintage, Hat: Vintage, Purse: Vintage, Shoes: Urban Outfitters

Late posting, what's new? Can't help it, life gets in the way. Ce la vie.

So, this was my first Dapper Day and what a blast! Bonus, that it was also Bat Day (goth day)! When walking around the park you saw people in their best vintage wear and then people walking around in all black and flatform shoes. It was so fun to see a wide variety of fashion in the most magical place on earth. On top of all this fun fashion extravaganza, it had been forever since I had been to Disneyland and it was just as magical as I remember. And it was even more magical because I got to go with my friend who also loves Disney. And as you can see, I went a little crazy with picture-taking. Took soooo many pictures, I was like a kid in a candy store. Should I get a Disneypass and enjoy the aprk all year? Need help deciding.

Since it was Dapper Day, my friend and I also went to California adventures to take in the sites, grab a drink, and go to the Dapper Day meetup. The meetup was massive! I was surprised and how big it was, but loved seeing all the creativity people put into their outfits. Next Dapper Day I hope to make an outfit that is a Disneybound. Which character do you think I should do?

Note on my outfit, I actually picked up this dress at the Dapper Expo the day before on a whim, and totally fell in love. Even though I have to get some things altered on the dress, I still decided to wear it. And it fit the beautiful spring weather that found us that day. Plus, my friend also wore a floral vintage inspired dress, so I liked to think of us as the Flowers from Alice in Wonderland. Also, if you are planning to go to Dapper Day footwear is incredibly important! Luckily I thought ahead and decided to wear wedges, instead of the heels I was originally planning.

I hope you enjoyed a glimpse into my fun-filled Dapper Day experience. Loved it so much! TTFN, ta ta for now.

Disney Dapper Day Expo, 40's Style

Dress:Vintage, Shoes: Vintage (from my mom), Hat: Vintage, Purse: Kate Spade

First post from Dapper Day! Yes, there are two! This one is about the Expo that is held at Disney Hotel and the next one will be about actual Dapper Day. Keep your eyes peeled!

So, when my friend and I decided that we were going to Dapper Day, I decided "I need a new Vintage dress". Why? I knew I wanted to dress up for the day at the park AND the expo. For the expo, I went to a nearby vintage store and found this adorable 1940s dress with an actual cherry print! It's so rare to find an actual vintage piece with a cherry print. So score! Once I bought this dress (and one more, which is perfect for summer), I knew exactly how I wanted to style it. I have recently started to fall in love with the 1940s style and am so happy I found this dress.

So, the Dapper Expo was so adorable! I just wish it was bigger. I guess I was expecting almost like a mini flea market, but I guess it was a decent size. My friend and I were on the search for the perfect dress for her for the next day, and we found it! And I found a dress too! It was such a perfect day followed by a magical day! Can't wait to share it with you! TTFN, ta ta for now.
