Knapp's Castle

I was very excited when I found out that I would get to spend the day at Knapp's Castle. I immediately began planning what I was going to wear. Now we didn't spend the entire day day there but we spent a good chunk, we also went to see some Indian cave paintings that date back thousands of years and we went to the Santa Barbara Zoo. These are some of the many perks you get living on the central coast.Knapp's castle was once a beautiful mansion in the making but burnt down before it was completed. So now its castle ruins and it truly is a beautiful place if you ever get the chance to visit it.

So here is the story with my outfit... I found the dress at the thrift store and for some reason I was very strangely attracted to it(which happens more often than not with my clothing) I bought it for fifty cents. It was ankle length when I got it and I knew it must be hemmed. Unfortunately I had never hemmed anything before but with some faith, trust, and a pair of scissors I got the job done! It actually turned out quite well and I was pleased with my work on it. I normally would wear this with black tights but due to the sheer amount of things we were doing I opted for the grey skinny jeans, not my first choice but they worked fine.

 We also found this amazing vintage car that was set up to look like it had crashed. They do shoot a lot of films up at Knapp's so we figured it was a prop but we're not a 100% sure. Ethier way it was really cool so I jumped in and we took some shots.

Oh yes... this would be me sliding and falling to my death....

Not to worry I regained my composer.

At the end of the day it was a blast!

Rooftops & Sublime

I went to visit my grandfather, grandmother, and some cousin last night at Avila beach in California. When we got there it was packed and we were informed there was a Sublime concert about to take place on the golf course. When we arrived at there hotel room we realized not only did their balcony overlook the concert but if you hopped over the rail you would be on the roof and get even closer. So I spent a good chunk of the evening sitting on the rooftop listening to Sublime.

 Okay yes I did my hair the same as my I Love Lucy Style post. The rest is just a little skirt I found at the thrift store and a black sweater.

I Love Lucy Style

I was browsing netflix watch instant list and came across a movie that was dramatized version of Lucille Ball's life. I watched a similar one when I was younger about Buddy Holly, it was called The Buddy Holly Story, it was fantastic and I highly recommend it! I watched the Lucille Ball film, it was called simply Lucy. At first I was unimpressed but I quickly became enthralled with her life story. 

Lucille Ball is such an inspiration not only in fashion but also in her personal life.  

Her relationship with Desi Arnaz is fascinating as well, again it is a dramatized version of her life so not everything happened word for word like in the film but the core problems it deals with are very credible.

 

 

At the end of the film I found my favorite recurring element of Lucy's style was her scarfs!So I decided to do a bit of a Lucille Ball homage in this post.

I finished out the day by going to farmers market and the geek in me couldn't help but buy a Doctor Who shirt while I was down there!

Hope everyone is having a wonderful summer!

British Fascination #3 David Mitchell

Well I haven't discussed the latest British comedian I have found myself enthralled with. This time his name is David Mitchell.

I begin watching David Mitchell on Big Fat Quiz Of The Year. I than proceeded to watch the show Would I Lie To You? may I just say that this show is absolutely fantastic! I mean I thought Never Mind the Buzzcocks was a entertaining but Would I Lie To You? is becoming quit superior to Buzzcocks, in my mind. I than came across information provided by Wikipedia, of course, that enlightened me on the fact David Mitchell also has a show with fellow humorist Robert Webb. Now prior to discovering who David Mitchell was I actually already knew who Robert Webb was. I quickly began to watch the Mitchell and Webb Look, which I must say I have really enjoyed!

My Trip To Macy's

A few weeks ago my grandmother came into town and took me shopping at Macy's. I am normally not a fan of shopping at big retail stores I usually prefer a thrift stores but on this occasion I gave in. She did buy me a very fun little black and white polka dot dress and a very cute sweater. I put these items in my closet and finally I decided to make it an outfit!

I put on my dress and sweater than I paired it with my kitty cat T.U.K's and a red beret. For my hair I put it up in one simple victory roll.

I got many complements on my shoes, people always tend to love T.U.K.'s.

At the end of the day I was very happy with the result and my trip to Macy's did in fact turn out to be a fruitful one, although I doubt that I will be going there anytime soon again, I think I will stick to thrifting.
