What I Wore Today

I recently stumbled across this flickr group were people submit drawings of what they've worn. It's fun to see the illustrations (and the outfits!) Check it out here. Here are some of my favorites.

40 Pounds of Trouble

This Disneyland gem has finally been released on DVD! I've been waiting so long.

40 Pounds of Trouble tells the story of a casino owner (Tony Curtis) who and a little Disneyland-obsessed five year old he gets left with. Might sound kinda weird, but this is a really fun movie!

It's one of two non Disney movies to be filmed in Disneyland (the other is That Thing You Do!).

They spend a large portion of the film in the park and it's really cool to get a glimpse of Disneyland from that time period. It's changed so much (but at the same time is no different).

I think I found it at a library randomly many years ago and am so excited that I can watch it again.

Also, my parents said we should all go to Disneyland this summer after graduation. Very exciting!
All Pictures are from MiceAge.com



The old turnstiles and entrance.

The Matterhorn (in the movie, you can totally tell that there are no seat belts on this ride yet! Ahh!)

I remember riding in these gondola cups before they got taken out (apparently someone jumped...)

Autopia!

Anywho, it's a fun one! If anyone wants to have a vintage Disneyland party with me, just let me know.

Take the Cousin count to TEN!!

My Aunt Becky is having her third baby today. Little William.
Very Exciting -- I now will have ten cousins (both sides, put together!!)

Proud Siblings: Michael and Lauren! (and evidence that William is gonna be super cute)

a peek into the past.

Aren't these cool? The photographer takes an old picture and then finds the location now. It's crazy to see how places have changed over time.

Check out the whole set! Here

Liberty for London at Target!

Hooray! I'm really excited for these fresh spring prints. Monday is Liberty Day!

Eight Great Months.

Time flies. I know everyone says that, but it really does.

Mad Men Barbies

Apparently Mattel is releasing these Mad Men Barbies in July. I think they look really cool. My Birthday is in August...

Oscars!

Today the best Sunday of the Year (Really, it is).

Dan and I are getting ready with our predictions for the Annual Alleman Oscar Party tonight. Dan's won the last few years in a row with his spot-on predictions, hopefully his winning streak will continue!

So Excited for Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin to host! And to see all the pretty dresses!

It's going to be a good day.

Oh My Goodness.

I usually delete a large potion of my e-mails. A lot of them are from stores and I get what feels like a million every day. I was in the process of doing the mass delete when I read this subject line:
"Lilly Pulitzer -- Shop our LeSportsac Collection".

Oh. My. Goodness.

I stopped right there and opened that message.

Two of my most favorite things. I am SO happy.
Lilly Pulitzer's patterns are such a great LeSportsac prints! Here are some of my favorites:

(Yes there's even an umbrella!)
I have been trying to not buy as many LeSportsacs lately, but I just might have to bend my rule and splurge for one of these beauties.

Check 'em all out here.

How Kind.

Dan and I got back from Birthday festivities last night and we had a little surprise on our doorstep.

Seriously, every time we come home after going out, I wish as I'm walking from the Charger to our front door that someone nice has left a plate of cookies or something. Ask Dan, I really do.

So, thank you to the nice person is who left us Cinnamon Rolls, you made my wish come true.
