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.

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.

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.
