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.

White Spaces

Dress: Asos, Headband: Asos, Shoes: Asos

I'm back! Sorry for the hiatus, life gets in the way and sometimes you just feel "blegh" and don't feel like doing anything.

When your whole outfit comes from one place, you know that you have a problem. I have been waiting for this dress to go on sale after seeing on two other bloggers, and I gotta say I love it. It may twee as fuck (thank you TLo for that phrase), but I still think it's perfect. I hope to get better pictures of it soon, until then, these will have to do. TTFN, ta ta for now.

Dapper Day Folly After Party

Dress: Vintage, Shoes: Mix No.6 (DSW), Purse: Ebay

I'm sure you have heard of Dapper Day at Disneyland, and if you haven't here's a little summary: Beautiful people come dressed in beautiful clothing to Disneyland and spend the day being fabulous. I have always wanted to go to Dapper Day, but have never been able to make it since it is on a weekday. But I heard about the Folly After Party and knew that I had to go! And I am so happy I went! I not only got to dance the night away but wear my vintage dress I got from the Vintage Fashion Expo a while ago, any my Mickey pin from D23! So double success!

But before heading to the after party my friends and I had dinner at the Jazz Kitchen. I love how the Jazz Kitchen is decorated and couldn't help but take a few pictures of the decor (and the delicious souffle we ended the night with).

So, back to Folly...the After Party was set up like a small club above the Jazz Kitchen in Downtown Disney with a main room and secondary room with  a balcony and bars throughout. In the main room was live music from a swing band, and a mellow jazz band in the secondary room for people who wanted to just relax. In the main room with the swing band were some of the most amazing dancers I have ever seen! Watching them dance made we want to dance (and I totally did, my jam is "dancing with myself" because no one is crazy enough to dance with me)! I was totally swept up in the beauty and swankiness of the event and enjoyed every minute of it. Well, until I had to walk back to the car, and my feet were killing me! But I think it was all worth it. I am determined to go to Spring Dapper Day and make my own dress (hopefully inspired by Vanellope Von Sweet from Wreck It Ralph). All I can say is that Disney can really throw a party! Until next time, TTFN ta ta for now.

Flower Crown in Central Park

Dress: Asos, Shoes: Vince Camuto (DSW), Flower Crown: DIY This is my final post from my trip to the East Coast. On my last day in New York my friend, and I went to Central Park to have a picnic with some of my family. We feasted on empanadas from Empanada Mama's (the BEST empanadas I have ever eaten) and generally had a wonderful time. Just sitting on the grass and enjoying the sun with amazing people was a great way to spend my last day on the East Coast.

Plus the beautiful sunny day was a perfect excuse to wear my flower crown and off the shoulder dress. It made me just want it to be summer (which it is now, and it's way too hot). Well, this is my final post from my east coast trip (only 3 months later). Expect more fashion posts soon! TTFN ta ta for now.

The Supreme is Back in Salem

Dress: Asos, Tights: Marshall's, Shoes: Dolce Vita (Thrifted), Hat: Forever 21, Necklace: Flea Market, Jacket: Flea Market

Continuing my super late blogging...second day in Boston and my friend and I decided to go to Salem. Before I begin my recap, if you decide to go to Salem, go early in the day! That's where we messed up; we waited too long to leave Boston and didn't leave ourselves enough time to really enjoy Salem. There is so much to see in Salem that not giving it a full day is really a crime.

However, we were able to go the House of the Seven Gables and Hawthorne's birth place, and a historical tour of Salem. It was amazing how difficult it was to find a historical tour, because all the tours were about witchcraft and Wicca. While a tour solely about witchcraft might be interesting, I really wanted to know the history of Salem. And the history of Salem and the witchcraft hysteria are so interesting that they don't need the gimmicks of witchcraft for me to want to learn more. If you are in Salem make sure to take the Hocus Pocus tour, the tour guide is amazing and so informative!

While wandering Salem, I couldn't help but take some pictures in front of this old abandon house/station. And couldn't help reference American Horror Story: Coven (even though it was the second worst season of AHS). Also, can you believe it was so cold in May that I needed to wear tights and a leather jacket! This Californian is not used to the cold.

I ended the night in Salem with a visit the statue of Bewitched and some DELICIOUS hot chocolate. Overall, Salem was amazing and I actually really want to return to Boston soon! Almost done with my East Coast blog posts! Until the next one, TTFN ta ta for now.

Two Months Later...

Dress: GAP, Shoes: Zara, Watch: Vintage, Bracelet: GAP

So...it's been two months since I actually took these pictures. This was from my vacation on the East Coast, while I was visiting Yale. Right before one of my sister's many graduations (seriously there were like 5 graduations), I saw an opportunity to take some pictures on Yale's beautiful campus. I loved this dress from the moment I saw it, but couldn't justify buying it at full price, so I waited, patiently. I waited two months before this beauty went on sale, and then got it on a further mark down! GAP has some great sales, totally worth the wait too.

Anyways, I am super behind in posting these pictures because right when I got back from my vacation I started working on my last cosplay (see it here) and I got super lazy after finishing that cosplay (had lots of issues with that cosplay). I will be posting more from this trip soon. Stay tuned. TTFN, ta ta for now.
