Outfit Details

Tee: Magical Trading Post (link to IG)| Jacket: Disney |Jeans: AG | Backpack: Henri Bendel | Necklace: Bauble Bar | Shoes: BP via Nordstrom | Sunglasses: Burberry

Ok y'all so I'm showing off my holiday tee from Magical Trading Post in this post!

For those of you who participated in our IG giveaway this past week, THANK YOU so much! The support from our followers old and new means so much to both of us.

Seriously though her tees are so cute! The creative ideas she has for some of her shirts are so adorable and you can't find else where. If you haven't yet, definitely take the time to check her IG out and shop from there. These tees are great gift ideas for a Disney lover's Christmas!

Also, I don't know about you but I'm loving all this varsity inspired gear that Disney is selling right now! Like this jacket is adorable... I mean yeah it's a little kids, but if it fits it fits and I'm gonna rock it! I've always thought these varsity jackets are cute even when I was in high school I loved my cheerleading and dance team jackets, plus ya know showing off school pride ;) I have this linked below, but theres also a nice mens one that's out right now and would be another good option if like blue better.

Continuing my Disney themed Holiday, I wanted to share the festive Christmas Tree Trail they have at Disney Springs!

There are so many trees decked out in inspiration from almost all the Disney movies, featuring their characters on them. Being the Disney freak that I am, I just think this is the best! I don't think I could ever get too much Disney in life.

Take a peek below and see which tree wins you over...

You could never have too much Minnie & Mickey... I mean they're the bosses!

Aurora has always been one of my faves. I think it's the long blonde hair and her pink gown, because otherwise she just sleeps, but that's why she's so gorgeous...she got her fill of beauty sleep

Punzie is def one of my newer faves. I mean Tangled was just sooooo good! Love her will for exploration and adventure

Ever since I was little, I loved Peter Pan. I think Tink won me over being the cute little sassy fairy that she is, and I def can relate at times. Mostly though I've always loved the Peter Pan ride at Magic Kingdom, and I still do to this day!

We can Fly, We can Fly, We can Fly...

Up where they Walk, Up where they Run, Up where they Stay All Day in the Sun... Oh Ariel is my ULTIMATE favorite!

She was my first movie I became obsessed with and wold watch on repeat over and over at my Grandma's house and me and one of my close child hood friends would bike ride and stand up while coasting down the hill to the candy shop belting "Part of Your World."

OMG, how this was amazing and still fills my heart with such joy even thinking about it.

Best merprincess ever ;)

Of course we can't leave out Belle

And Snow White... This tree is def on the top of my list. It's so pretty with all the flowers, and fawn, and deathly candy apples ;)

Then I found the rightful place for miss Evil Queenie

Who doesn't love Cinderella's story?! I'm pretty sure I fulfill her rag days out a decent amount, and I'm just waiting for my fairy godmother come and have my prince (Larry) turn me into the princess I imagine my self being. lol Oh one day... Dreams do come true after all

And last but not least, the most festive and beautiful trees in my eyes... FROZEN!

For obvious reasons this one is my FAVE, but really it is beautiful and just adds a wonderful holiday feel to it because you know... ice and snow!

So which one do you like best? Maybe if you live in the area you can go check the Tree Trail out for yourself because they really are a beautiful sight to see. I hope this has added some fun to your holidays this season. Maybe some inspiration when it comes to decorating your too.

Our California Adventure

Ok friends, so if you haven't heard that we made a quick trip out to Cali then you must be living under a rock because I haven't shut up about it and I've been posting nonstop. But anyways, yeah it was kinda a last minute decision to go out to Disneyland for my birthday! We figured flights weren't terrible, I had vacation days to use at work, and getting into the park was no problem so why not.

I'm so so happy that we jumped on this, because it was magical... as cheesy at that sounds it was ;)

I've always have been a Disney lover and that'll never change, but Larry not so much. He likes going and enjoys it because I love it, but it's not easy getting him to go play at the theme parks typically. He had never been to Disneyland tho, so he was actually really excited to experience it. It was so so fun and as you'll see below we had just a little bit of a GREAT time!

We went to California Adventure the first day and started bright and early. Disneyland still does fastpass the old way so we wanted to rush to Guardians of the Galaxy or Cars first to get one for those attractions. Cars Land was so cute and I think Larry really loved this section. I mean race cars and dirt bikes is a big part of his life, so it makes sense. I was so excited everything was already decked out in holiday attire... Christmas time is my absolute favorite!

How cute is this little snowbug though?!! Awe I loved it so much.

Me And You baby, Me And You!

Of course Larry got a huge kick out of this... lol sometimes I don't think he'll ever grow up, but I sure do love him :)

Fun in front of the Christmas tree because why wouldn't you :)

And my scrumptious gingerbread Mickey caramel apple! OMG, I don't usually get these but boy was this delicious. It was covered in gingerbread flavored sugar then white chocolate and caramel... talk about sweet tooth. It was so cute tho I had to have it.

Made a trip out later that evening to Huntington Beach. Where I use to live! It's so pretty out there, but sure has built up since I was there.

Of course I have to show you my rose gold accessories that topped my look for the park. These ears were my special Birthday ears I had custom made by MagicCastle_Ears. You can find her on IG, she has such cute ideas and they're great quality! Just love the sprinkles on these, adorable!!!

Then obviously I had to use my custom made rose gold Leather Satchel backpack for the park. This bag is so great because it's simple and easy to use, light weight, and I can fit so much in it. I packed my wallet and phone along with 2 hoodies and a water bottle in here. You can also find them on IG or check them out on their website: http://www.leathersatchel.com

And obviously the first thing I had to do once in Disneyland was get a pic in front of the castle! Sleeping Beauty's Castle is so cute and tiny compared to Cinderella's, but it's still so magical.

Always beveling... guess that's the Rockette in me ;)

These Mickey beignets were DELIC!!! We don't have these in FL, so had to get some while in the New Orleans section. So yummy. Larry had the great idea of tearing them into lil pieces and shaking up the bag so it was COATED in powder sugar!!! YUM! I just had to get my pic first lol.

Then of course I wanted the iconic pic of me holding the entire bunch of balloons.. if only the guy would've given me a lil more slack. Oh wells.

Birthday Cake...

On our way out we stopped in Long Beach for lunch and this was our view. I'd say this is pretty awesome to look at and could take on the daily. So peaceful and relaxing.

Our trip was most definitely amazing and was the perfect little get away. We had only 3 days before I need to be back for work, but it was the best mini vacation ever!

DIY Disney Bounding Dalmatians

Hi there friends,

So I know that it is still early in the month of September, but living in theme park city we start celebrating holidays way early around here! Halloween actually started the last weekend of August at Disney, which yes I agree is nuts but what are ya gonna do about it rather than get into the spirit. Halloween at Disney has always been lots of fun for me especially attending Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party. This is a special hard ticket event that happens only certain evenings throughout Aug-Oct. Basically they make it ok to play dress up and go Trick-or-Treating as an adult. Also, there's a special Halloween parade full of characters you don't normally get to see at the parks and you can't forget about the Hocus Pocus Villain Spectacular show that takes over Cinderella's castle!

Well this year me and my guy did a little Disney bounding at Pongo and Perdita from 101 Dalmatians. To be honest I'm really surprised that he went along with it... he must be loving me even more these days lol. Amazon became like my best friend in finding most the pieces to put this together just a couple weeks ago. Seriously they made it so easy in finding what I needed, and it always gets shipped so quickly. The rest of the items I made myself with craft supplies from Michael's. DIY dog ears, and his shirt was fun last minute projects to complete the look for our night at MNSS.

Below I have steps listed on how I made our dog ears. They really weren't hard at all. Some felt, wire, and hot glue is all I needed, then I made them a little fancier by adding some fur. Take a peak and learn for your next costume.

Supplies

-White, black, and pink felt

-White and black fur

-Headband, Hat

-Wire and wire cutter

-Bow

-Scissor

-Hot glue gun/glue sticks

-Needle and thread

1. Cut your desired ear shape from paper and pin to felt to cut out.

I folded the felt in half after cutting my first one out to speed up the process.

2. Lay wire to shape the ear and cut where desired.

3. Glue the wire in place.

4. After the wire was glued down, I simply just glued the white felt on top of the pink using the hot glue as well. Then since I had this wired fur I used it! I cut 4 pieces per ear to glue down on top of the felt. This added more realness to the ears and helped shaped them once done and attached to our headband and hat.

5. Figuring out where I wanted the ears place was probably the hardest part, but once that was decided I simply tacked the ears on using a needle and thread. for my white ears I obviously used white thread and for his black I used black.

And just because I love everything as girly as possible I sewed a bow onto my ears.

After this was all done, all I did to add the finishing touches to make these dalmatian ears was take a black sharpie and draw on spots wherever I felt best (as seen in other pix below).

Then as for as his shirt I just got a plain white tee and cut some black dots out of felt and glue them on. Super simple and easy. I made his ears the exact same way, he just wanted his ears not to stand up as much as mine... which can you blame him lol. He was such a good sport and went along with everything that night for me, I love him so much!

I hope you think this fun Disney bounding was as cute as I did. I was really proud of it all coming together for our night of trick-or-treating at the park. I'm not gonna lie, I was a little nervous about the ears, because honestly I just winged it and hoped they weren't going to fall apart lol. Job well done, and now onto the next!
