What I wore to see Hidden Figures

Last Tuesday I went with my darling friend to see Hidden Figures.My goodness, I rarely get misty-eyed at the movies, I certainly teared up at this movie.For those of you who don't know, it's the film adaptation of the novel by Margot Lee Shetterly,  of the true story of the Black women who did the…

Late summer picnic

This weekend, I had my little picnic at the beautiful Balboa Park. Darling friend, and fellow blogger Janey of Atomic Redhead attended, as well as her friend, and my new acquaintance, Christine of Smitten.We had a lovely time chitchatting, and making each other laugh. Because of that, I have no photos of us relaxing next…

Pumpkin Patch Adventures

My good friend Megan and I had a nice weekend of seeing Crimson Peak, then visiting a pumpkin patch.Honestly, this is my first time to a proper pumpkin patch as an adult, so it was very fun! It's on a nut farm here in San Diego County. I didn't buy any pumpkins, or any local…

So yesterday, I met up with Janey of Atomic…

Spring Dapper Day 2014

On February 23rd, I attended my 3rd Dapper Day. (yes I went to last falls, I just never blogged about it. Oops.)It was an interesting day all around. It was very packed that day, and I got a bit overwhelmed with the crowds, so I stole a friend and broke away quite a lot.I acquired…
