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.

New Year, Same Me

Shirt: Big Gay Ice Cream Shop, Skirt: Urban Outfitters, Shoes: Asos, Hat: Madewell, Backpack: Amazon 

Happy New Year! And with the new year comes new years resolutions and people saying "New year, new me!" and while I applause people for that determination, I have never been able to do get into that idea of new year, new me. I think I said something similar last year, but I am pretty happy with me. Of course, there are little habits that I want to change but overall...I'm good.

Anyways, onto the outfit! This was taken the day I had a super early brunch with my sister and best friend before my lil sis left (if you follow me on Instagram you would have gotten a glimpse of this already). I wanted to wear something a bit casual, so i resorted to a t-shirt and maxi skirt. Side note, I love this t-shirt from Big Gay Ice Cream Shop in NY. One thing, it has a unicorn on it and it's focused on ice cream (my favorite thing ever). Plus I finally found a black hat that has a huge brim (for all my hair)! This ended up being the perfect brunch outfit, especially with the weather now getting cold. Brrr!

I hope everyone's new year is starting off well. I'm looking forward to new adventures in this new year! TTFN, ta ta for now.

Today I'm Not Doing Anything

 

Sweater: H&M, Jeans: Forever 21, Shoes: J.Crew (thrifted), Hat: Urban Outfitters, Purse: Vintage Dooney & Bourke, Watch: Vintage, Necklace: Jeweliq

I seriously did not feel like doing anything this weekend, but life called and told me to get off my lazy butt and get shit done. So, I got up went to the comic book store picked up my pull list (so hard, right!?), bought groceries, and ran to Target for face stuff. I also attempted to go to my kickboxing class, but felt ill and had to leave (lame). Anyways, after running all my errands I sat my butt down and watched House of Cards. Fun times. TTFN, ta ta for now.

P.S. I noticed that recently I have been putting my hair in protective styles more often and my hair has been growing like crazy. I usually go every three months to dye my hair, but now I'm going every two months, which is nice because my hair is growing but my wallet doesn't like it.

Shenanigans in LA

Shirt: Vintage, Skirt: Nordstrom's Rack, Shoes: Target, Hat: Urban Outfitters, Purse: Kate Spade, Necklace : Flea Market Ah yes, another flea market adventure. But this time I decided to wander around LA for a bit afterwards. Lots of fun adventures were had, including: finding old military jackets, eating ice cream, and seeing movies. The ice cream might have been my favorite part. I finally went to Salt & Straw, and boy, it was worth the hype (I was so excited to eat it, I didn't even get a good picture to post, sorry). I like less conventional ice cream flavors, so salted ice cream with a caramel swirl, is my cup of tea. God, I love LA, so many different things to do and see (only sucky part is that you have drive every where). Well, until then TTFN, ta ta for now.

P.S. Yes, I hurt my ankle (from last week) and have to wear a wrap/brace for two weeks or so. Sigh, being not-graceful is painful.
