outfit: mustard and maroon

Outfit Details:

• Modcloth Maroon Floral Top
• Modcloth Tiger Lilies Midi Skirt in Mustard
• Chelsea Crew Black Apple Suede Flats (from zulily)

The best thing about being a Disneyland Annual Passholder (and living less than an hour away from the park) is after a long, exhausting week of juggling my many jobs, I can drive down for a twilight hour stroll through Disney California Adventure without the pressure to really get much done but enjoying the decor.  

As far as the outfit goes, I am a huge fan of midi-length skirts, and this one from Modcloth is a go-to for being easy to wear and for being such a gorgeous color.  Paired with this maroon floral Modcloth top I got on sale at the end of last season, I was pretty happy with how the fall color palette of this outfit came out.  And I am not sure if it's a bad thing, but I have been living in this Smashbox Matte Liquid Lipstick in the color Miss Conduct. First of all, it makes me feel beautiful, and second of all, it really takes any outfit I wear into a vintage autumn vibe.  

On a last note, if you have a chance to catch the new Halloween decorations at California Adventure, i can't recommend it enough.  Carsland especially is so well done, so meticulously detailed and fun!

outfit: white after labor day

dress - unique vintage (similar here), necklace - the giving keys, lipstick - smashbox liquid lipstick in miss conduct

Here I am, a vintage hummingbird in the relatively young stage of her style blogging career, and already I am breaking one of the seminal rules of fashion - you should never wear white after labor day.  Well, whoever made that rule didn't pair their white with dark lips and pumpkins.

I am IN LOVE with this Unique Vintage dress that I just picked up at their Pin Up Picnic Sale last weekend for the unbelievable price of $15!  (You can find almost the exact same one here). It fits and feels like a dream, and with some Smashbox liquid lipstick in the color Miss Conduct, I felt completely in the autumn spirit walking around the HalloweenTime at the happiest place on earth!

How do you wear your whites after labor day?

adventure: disneybound #1 // LILO

romper - trashy diva (similar), hair flower - old, shoes - american eagle outfitters, stitch bag - zulily

oh my gosh, you guys, I finally did it - my first disneybound! I have been wanting to make this happen for so long - and now that I have a disneyland annual pass, it's as if heaven's gates have been open to me! (hmm, too dramatic?)  For those of you who don't know, Disneybounding is basically wearing an outfit inspired by a disney character.

Anyway, ever since I bought this romper from Trashy Diva, I knew it would be perfect for a Lilo inspired disneybound. I love this romper because it generally reads more like a dress, and the cactus rouge print is so fun and summer-y. Of course, I had to put my vintage twist on Lilo so I added a hair flower and some flats.  I finished it off with this cute little Stitch bag I got on Zulily (which I highly recommend for finding cute Disney merchandise without breaking the bank!). Other than that, I spent the day enjoying some sun by the pier at DCA and some dole whip and silliness by the Tiki Room in DL!

And of course what would a disneybound be without a pic or two by the blue wall?

adventure: 21

Let me introduced you all to my little sister Chloe! This past weekend was an epic adventure celebrating her 21st birthday.   Our good friend Jeremy and I discovered we were both crazy enough to do something awesome for her.

My sister is currently living in Salinas, CA doing the musical Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson at the Western Stage.  My whole family went up to celebrate her opening night and birthday, and Jeremy and I decided to surprise her with a trip to Disneyland.  After having partied hard the night before, we got up at 5:30am, picked her up, made a bed in the back of the car for her to sleep and then drove the 6+ hour drive all the way down to Disneyland.  It was a wonderful day filled with 'adventure and whimsy' (as Jeremy puts it), as we enjoyed all our favorite rides and food Disney has to offer, and not leaving until 1am!

Then the next day we bundled up in the car again and drove her all the way back up to Salinas, taking our time enjoying the ocean views of the 101.  After a quick dinner, Jeremy and I were right back in the car and drove all the way back down to LA.  It was an exhausting and epic trip, and it will be one we will remember for a long time to come!

adventure: dapper day disneyland outing 2017

pin up girl amanda dress, modcloth shoes (old), vintage box 1947 orchids, retro disneyland pin (dapper day expo vendor)

My first Dapper Day was a success! There is nothing like the happiest place on earth, and walking around seeing everyone dressed to the nines makes the day that much more magical.  There is something a little bit transcendent about so many men, women, and kids expressing themselves through fashion in the park. And because not everyone is dressed up, it feels like you are sharing a special secret with the other dapperly dressed people as you walk by each other.  It is a culture of that embraces the nostalgia of Disneyland and the creativity that the park inspires! 

The expo was beautiful and full of super cool vendors, where I got the sunglasses and the pin I wore to the outing.  After spending some time in the convention center on Saturday, I spent Sunday out in the park.  The first half of the day my mom, my sister Chloe, and I walked around - meeting characters, people-watching, and eating our favorite Disney snacks.  Later on, we met up with some friends and spent the rest of the evening going on rides, shopping, and eating some more! You can catch some of our shenanigans in the video below!

wishful wednesdays #1

Welcome to Wishful Wednesdays where this vintage hummingbird posts wish lists, pretty things, inspirations, mood boards, or anything she is wishing that week! 

Dapper Day is coming up this weekend at Disneyland, and I can't wait! I am trying to brainstorm the perfect ensemble and am so in awe of the amazing dapper disneybounds people have done, especially  when couples or groups of friends do a theme.  If you don't know what disneybounding is, it is basically dressing up in an outfit inspired by a disney character.  Hopefully I can get one together by this weekend!

1 - floral scarf, 2 - balloon necklace, 3 - vintage shirt dresses (red,yellow,green,blue), 4 - seafoam sunglasses, 5 - smashbox liquid lipstick in miss conduct, 6 - cobb hill sandals

I cannot stop looking at pictures of vintage 1950s dresses shirt dresses. If I could, I would live in them all season in every color!  I may try to practice my sewing skills on a similar pattern soon. Other than that, springtime for me means seafoam green sunglasses and florals.  Of course, why not also throw in a beautifully deep wine lipstick from Smashbox.  If you are looking for a liquid lipstick that lasts all day but doesn't dry out, smashbox is the bomb.  It's a little pricier than other options which I wear a lot (colourpop ultra matte, sephora cream lip stain), but it does the best job of keeping my lips from getting chapped all day!
