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.

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.

Welcome to Boston

So, these pictures are from my first full day in Boston. And man, was it a tiring day! I had not done that much walking in a long time. Looking back at these pictures just reminded me of the day my friend and I had; walking around the city, trying to find historical sites, delicious food, and standing behind tour groups to a little history without paying for the actual tour (this is bad, don't do what I did). And of course, I had to stop at the first comic book store my friend and I found. It's just a right of passage for any city I go to. After wandering the city, my friend and I were starving and we stopped to try Shake Shack for the first time, and my final opinion is...pretty good. Not as good as an In-N-Out burger but good (so expensive though!). Actually before we even got burgers, we got a cupcake from Georgetown Cupcakes, and it was delicious! And after burgers we got ice cream! It was a very fatty day. After all this exploring it was time to drank, Boston has very interesting pubs and nice bars but is not really popping on a Wednesday night.

I never realized what a beautiful city Boston was until this visit, and man do I want to go back. I feel like I only got a small sampling of the city, and would have loved to have another day or two to just explore random places. I have a ton more pictures I took from this day, but decided I didn't want to bore you (including cemeteries, libraries, parks, swan boats, etc.).

Our next stop on my East Coast adventure was Salem, which was not what I expected. Expect to see that soon. TTFN, ta ta for now.
