I don't mind racing through our goodbyes

I don't really go thrifting any more because I find that most (there are a couple of exceptions) thrift stores in LA are extremely picked over.  I cannot for the life of me remember where I got this dress but I know if came from a goodwill somewhere in greater Los Angeles - I am sure I was probably dropping off a bunch of things for donation and stumbled inside expecting not to find anything.  It had been laying atop pile of "to alter" items that only actually get altered around once or twice a year! But I finally got around to shortening it to a semi-wearable length.  It ended up a bit shorter than I would have liked but I'm still a novice with the sewing machine... these things happen.

outfit details:
dress -thrifted/self altered

I hope you all had a lovely weekend. I've got several little projects happening at the moment so stay tuned! xdjrd

it's...the happiest place on earth!

Recently, I took a trip to Disneyland (which located is about 45 minutes outside of Los Angeles, in case you were curious). I've been many times but it never gets old to me. Here are a few pictures we snapped...

Pirates of the Caribbean...

The Brit pretending to be afraid of the Haunted Mansion

Thunder Mountain (which the Brit is actually afraid of)

psychedelic Winnie the Pooh ride

waiting in line for Star Tours

a much needed churro break

 a quick hop over to California Adventure (or as we dubbed it "Unfinished land")

 to go on the Little Mermaid Ride because we're really still 6 years old..

 we also went  on a little ride I like to call... the swings of death...

then back over to pioneer-land to catch the fireworks

 last but certainly not least...

*It was a long day at Disneyland and there are plenty more photos on my flickr page!

Have you been to Disneyland (world, Euro Disney, etc)?  What's your favorite ride??
