Chore days are always the worst. It’s usually Sunday. You wanna go to brunch and the farmer’s market, but you have loads of laundry and dirty floors that absolutely have to be done by weekend’s end, lest you go to work commando. The worst case is when you have guests visiting so you CANNOT put off ‘another week.’ Thankfully, I got assigned “vacuuming” this past weekend. Words cannot express how glad I am that we finally invested in a Roomba. This trusty little guy made it so much easier, so that I could multi-task and do other needed chores around the house…

…did I say chores?

Comic-Con 2013: Nerd Mecca

A little history: the first time I ever went to Comic-Con, I was 15 years old. Seven years, a minor hiccup involving a lost wallet (later to be found at the restaurant where we dined the night before), and silent prayers to the Comic-Con gods to let me in sans photo-ID, I crawled back. (Oh, and don’t bother trying to to the math. I’ll confirm here that I’m 22 – ish).

Comic-Con is so different than I remembered it to be all those years ago. Especially since I was dragged by two boy cousins and a brother, an experience that led to a lot of this. This time, I was dragging around my bf. It’s bigger, more crowded, and less focused on comics, but I am not one to complain about the overexposure of movies, TV, lego booths, cospoay, swag on swag on swag, and celebrities galore. I love it all…Jackman, Cavill, Hemsworth… I love you…all…I mean… yea.
And to make it feel as if we’re still relevant in the fashion blogosphere: here’s some of Superman’s costumes throughout the last 75 years. Happy 75th Year Anniversary Kent.

…And now on to the cool stuff.
legos on legos on legos.

Celebrities galore (many not pictured):
Top to Bottom: Evangeline Lilly (LOST), Miyuki Okumura (Creator of Sanrio character Cinnamoroll), Cast of HIMYM, Kevin Sorbo (Hercules, and star of my absolute favorite video clip EVER), and Rampage Jackson (MMA)


Gina Carano (MMA)


Tim Daly (Private Practice & Voice of Animated Superman) and Jim Lee (DC Comics)

Cosplay:
It is utterly amazing at how detailed some people’s costumes were. And equally amazing how disturbing some people’s costumes were:

Nevertheless, they committed to it. Oh boy did they commit. And there’s something slightly respectable about that. Not very respectable. But, a tiny bit. Very tiny.

alice wears:
avengers muscle tank | f21 (as a sweater, or in iron man)
sequin scalloped hem skirt | arden b (also seen here, similar here and here)
rings | f21, etsy, and jenniekwon
crystal statement necklace | banana republic
suede loafer moccasin flats | merona via target (similar)
oatmeal cardigan with zips | zara
wrap chain link bracelet | nordstroms
rose gold boyfriend watch | fossil

As someone who didn’t actually dress up in costume, I got an alarmingly high amount of comments on my skirt. What did I learn? There is never NOT a good time to wear bling. But we already knew that on this blog, no?

Would it have been possible to see even more celebrities? Yes. Did I stand in line for 4 hours to see Celebrities in really awesome panels? Unfortunately, No. There’s just no way to do all of the things you want to do at Comic-Con in one day. We only purchased a one-day pass this year, but next year, I’m going to commit the whole weekend. Dare I say 4 days? Hugh Jackman and Chris Hemsworth, I’m coming for you. You can’t run away this time. Mostly because the restraining order will have expired by then. ❤

Happiest Place on Earth

alice wears: express sequin skirt + h&m navy dolman top + jcrew yellow bubble necklace (similar) | old navy taupe suede booties
christine wears: madewell polka dot dress (similar) + meg layered necklace + nine west wedges (similar) + banana republic yellow cardigan (similar) + madewell chambray shirt + madewell friendship bracelets

We live in SoCal, so it really was only a matter of time before we went to Disneyland. The happiest place on earth. Where happily ever after exists…well, unless you believe this interpretation. Despite that vision, I whole-heartedly believe Prince Eric decided to become a mermaid, so him and Ariel are both living happily ‘Under the Sea’.  Amiright? Disneyland is also where the only mouse I will ever like (or hug) lives.  And do I even need to mention that Disneyland has the best churros in all the land.  (ALL THE LAND, PEOPLE).

In all honesty, what really brought us here was to conquer one fear: Teacups.  Remember when spinning in circles and feeling dizzy was fun? But now that you are old…er, your body rebels against you causing instantaneous nausea.  Well no fear because we are happy to report we attempted the teacups TWICE.  Albeit, the second time we conquered the Teacups slightly inebriated (we like a challenge), yet still it was FUN.  Take that, old(er) self.

So, 2013 and I have been fighting. I started off sick, changed jobs, and helped the boyfriend with a treacherous moving day to his new house. How else to feel better after a fight than with retail therapy?

absolutely N O T H I N G!

Arden B at Fashion Island is shutting down, so if you’re in Orange County – get to it. Everything is 70% off. Everything (even sale items)! And yes, I bought 2 of the same skirt in different colour because…$18!! Also – it’s the last day for Express‘s Seasonal Sale with an additional 50% off all sale items.

Today’s Sequin-Packed Savings: $188.71

ps. the arden b sequin skirt also comes in a beautiful green colour. if you ask nicely maybe gina will post it on instagram! 😛
