Sunday before we left sunny California (it's easy to forget Christmas is this week when it's bright and cheery out), we spent some time in old town Orange.
We made stops at both the womens and mens shops by Elsewhere Vintage, and I easily could have spent all day, and a small fortune at the womens shop! I stopped myself from looking at everything after I found some gold lame' cigarette pants, and a fur beret. Fabulous much?
Highly recommend both if you're ever in the area, they storekeepers were nice, and helpful, and the selection is fantastic!
We also went to Heavenly Hostess, a boutique based around the fantastic vintage style aprons, I wear mine nearly everyday, as you can see in this post. It was a bridal shower gift, and I really adore it!
So imagine how giddy I was when I asked if the women who makes the aprons lives in the area, and was told "Yes, she's standing right next to me!". So I got to meet Cynthia Wadell, and tell her how much I love my apron, which I though was pretty exciting :)
We lunched at The Fillling Station (Yum!), and browsed antique malls the lined the plaza. It was a fun afternoon!

This weekend I was in Disneyland!
My mother and her husband got my cousin Ruth and I tickets to "The Happiest Place on Earth" for Christmas, so we spend all day Saturday riding rides, and avoiding about a million strollers.
I love Disneyland at Christmas time because it's decorated so festively, the castle was especially pretty.
My all time favorite ride is Pirates of the Caribbean, but I was sad that my other favorite ride, The Haunted Mansion, was completely different :(
We didn't see too many characters (seriously, busier than I've ever seen it), but I did spot a few stormtroopers patrolling Tomorrowland which was pretty cool.
We also spent a little time in the California Adventure park, and Downtown Disney, there's so much to do everywhere! Of course waiting in lines can take a bit of time, every time we were waiting, we wished we had brought snacks ;)
All in all it was a lot of fun, hope you enjoyed your weekend as well! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~1960s Angora sweater and scarf-Urban Eccentric Vintage

A couple weeks ago I had the pleasure of meeting Kim, the gal behind the vintage reproduction brand Jitterbuggin. She gave me this new blouse to promote, and I was more than happy to!
I usually stay away from blouses, I just hate how billowy they get after wearing them around a bit, they either fit in the bust and are too big at the waist, or the waist fits, and the bust is popping open. And finding tailored button front blouses is nearly impossible!
But this one is a new favorite, it's button front, but tailored, so I don't have any "blouse issues". I've even worn it un-tucked it's so nicely finished and fitted.
Not to mention the print is adorable :) Next time I go the local air museum, I know what I'm wearing!
Though if you're more floral than aviation, there's the same blouse in a beautiful feedsack print.
