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.

Curly-Q

Shirt: Forever 21, Skirt: Asos, Shoes: Alloy Apparel, Hat: Forever 21, Purse: Kate Spade, Necklace: Forever 21

You know what's funny, when you are digging through your files and find some pictures from the summer and realize you could probably wear this same outfit in October? SoCal fall weather had been very...summer like.

But anyways, I took these picture in August when I went to the Anaheim Packing District to hang out with my cousin (if you follow me on instagram you would have seen a glimpse of this outfit already). I love the Packing District and the food...so good. The food was so good that I didn't even have a chance to take a picture of it before devouring it.

While many of you reading this may be in real fall, and may be confused about my outfit, all I can say is welcome to SoCal. 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.

Buns and Stripes

Top: Forever21, Overall Dress: Forever21, Pin: Renegade Festival in SF, Shoes: Vince Camuto (DSW), Bag: H&M

I think I ate some pastries and pizza this day while wandering the town with my friend. I remember being determined to wear this dress before summer ended and I did! And to top off the "quirky" style I decided to do Sailor Moon buns. I really enjoy dressing super quirky at times, espically because during the week I sometimes can't (most of the time...). And isn't the my pin adorable! I got it when I was visiting my friend up North and we went to the Renegade Festival (think Etsy market in real life). Keep the quirkiness alive! TTFN, ta ta for now.

Pastel Spring

Shirt: American Apparel (factory store), Skirt: American Apparel (factory store), Shoes: Alloy Apparel, Purse: Amazon  When I think spring I think pastel colors. So, this outfit was exactly what the weather ordred. It's kinda weird to be wearing a crop top and denim skirt this time of year, it wasn't even May yet when I took this picture. But one must be able to adapt.

These picture were taken on Melrose, near the Fairfax Flea Market. This is one of my favorite flea markets, because of the location and the amazing sellers. Plus, there are so many fun and interesting places to check out along the street, like The Hart and the Hunter. It's a great little brunch spot with bottomless mimosas. And evidence of the greatness of the flea market: the big mineral/stone necklace I'm wearing, and I got it for quite the deal. I also got a vintage leather jacket, a little out of season, but I think it will come in handy in the future. I couldn't help but get it because the old man selling it was so sweet and gave me a great deal.

If you are ever in LA, make sure to check out the flea market. Until next time, TTFN ta ta for now.

Fight Like a Girl

Shirt: Look Human, Shorts: H&M (old), Shoes: Target, Purse: H&M, Earrings: Urban Outfitters

Before I start talking about my outfit, let me take a second to say, Never let anyone tell you girls can't/shouldn't fight. Or that girls shouldn't have muscles. Girls, you can be/do whatever you want, and if you want muscles go pump some iron! I do, and have started kickboxing (which I love). I love having muscles (even if they are itty bitty), and would love them to continue to get bigger (but sometimes I'm so lazy). Don't be constrained by society's version of feminitiy!

Ok, sorry I'm done ranting. So, when my sister was in town we went out on the town with her and a friend and took a bunch of random pictures. I love this tank I got from Lookhuman.com. If you are every looking for an awesome tank, or something a little cheeky, this is the place to go! Of course, when I was younger I loved Sailor Moon, and still do. But funny enough, when I was young I loved Sailor Venus, and as I got older I started to like Sailor Jupiter more. I think I was attracted to her strenght and "takes no shit" attitude.

Anyway, it was fun hanging out with my sister and even got to have some awesome apple pie tarts and this awesome place called Layer Cake. You should definitely go if you are in the area, it has delicious food and awesome decor. Well, see you sson. TTFN, ta ta for now.
