Showboat Drive-In: It's Intermission Time

For almost a year I have been itching to drive out to this Drive in movie theater in the countryside. I've never been to one and want to experience it before they're all torn down and all we have are memories of it. So, my one request of my boyfriend this year was to ensure that on my birthday night we go to the movies. Lucky for me Riddick just came out so I had an extra boost at convincing him to take me. We had a quiet dinner at home. We cooked tuna steak on mix greens salad with spinach and ginger dressing. YUM!!! The weather was perfect and gorgeous! We got to take pictures before the sunset. I wore this beautiful 60's vintage dress that I got from Fancytreehouse ages ago online. I haven't been able to fit the bust because of my weight. But, to my surprise the week of my birthday I tried it on and it FIT!!!! It was truly meant to be. All of it. It was like a dream. I had great fun. Also yesterday, Dan's parents took us out for sushi! We had fun chatting about silly stories, playing with all of his mom's cat's and laughed. They got me a Hello Kitty plushy and some new cateye frames that I am dying to wear this fall. I fell in love with them immediately. I am so stoked. Anyway, I hope you lovelies had a wonderful weekend. What adventures did you go on this weekend?

Outfit Details:
Vintage Dress: Fancytreehouse
Belt: From another dress

Twenty-Five Years.

Hello all! Yesterday I turned 25 years old. Quite a milestone for me. I have changed so much over the years and I feel it has been for the better. I've become a little bit wiser, stronger, and driven to build my own happiness through hard work and enjoying my life to the fullest. I am so lucky to have wonderful people in my life who care about me and look out for me. My best friend and I went on a thrifting excursion and enjoyed our undeniable love for PUMPKIN MUFFINS!! This has been a tradition of ours for as long as we have been friends.(And that's a long time) She got me the cutest romper ever(pictured on instagram), and some handmade crochet accessories. I find that over the years we have become increasingly picky with our choices while thrifting. It's a blessing and a curse. Sometimes we don't find anything at all and other times we find golden treasures to add to our collections. I had a blast. I also got to experience my first drive in movie theater experience and that will be on the blog tomorrow. Ashlee posted an old picture from back in 2008 when we saw Eisley live in Philly.
What a flashback! I look so different yet I look the same. Back in that time I would not be caught dead in a dress and now I have no idea how many dresses I have. I guess its all part of growing up! What's your favorite birthday memory?

Birthday Season

The past two weeks marked birthday season for me because most of the people I love have birthdays in and around my own in August, September & October with my own being on September 15th. My brother's birthday was the 23rd of August, friend Ethan's was on the 27th, and my Darling Dan's was on the 29th. We haven't completely celebrated his birthday yet but I asked my Lovely friend Taylor if she would make a cake for me. She makes customized cakes for almost any occasion. And since Dan loves Godzilla and Ultraman I had asked her to make this cake of Godzilla attacking a town chibi style! It came out so much more amazing than the picture I gave her as a reference. She did a fantastic job and it is sooooo delicious. If you would like her to make a cake for you, feel free to leave your contact information and request in the comments section of this post. We are working on getting her a nice website to get her started as she does great work. Happy Sunday!
