Around this time last year we were marathoning Peaky Blinders and loving every bit of that 1920s-1930s style. And this was around the time we were planning our New Year’s cruise to ring in the 2020’s, and absolutely planning to wear 1920s outfits on the cruise. So I zeroed in on one of Polly Gray’s outfits that […]
Costuming Polly Gray from Peaky Blinders
Around this time last year we were marathoning Peaky Blinders and loving every bit of that 1920s-1930s style. I took a particular fondness to Polly Gray with her unapologetically rough fashion (and attitude) through the years. And this was around the time we were planning our New Year’s cruise to ring in the 2020’s, and […]
Disneybounding Darth Vader
Last year on my second trip to Orlando for RunDisney’s Wine & Dine half marathon and Taste of Epcot International Food & Wine Festival, I Disneybounded for the first time. I Disneybound as Ursula and my beautiful flawless friend, Melissa, Disneybound as Darth Vader. This might look familiar to you if you’re no stranger to the blog, as […]
Disneybounding Ursula
Last year on my second trip to Orlando for RunDisney’s Wine & Dine half marathon and Taste of Epcot International Food & Wine Festival, I Disneybounded for the first time. And since I have two Ursula costumes, Disneybounding Ursual just felt right. Disney villains fit my personality, and my eyebrows! Here’s how I put together the outfit, and […]
Portrait of a Quidditch Player: A Costume Analysis
Last year I visited The Wizarding World of Harry Potter for the first time. While there, we rode Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey and shopped at Diagon Alley. Being somewhat of a quidditch costume enthusiast, I was pretty excited to see the full Gryffindor Quidditch costume featured in the ride on display at Quality […]
Halloween Cruise? Don’t Mind if I Boo! (Part 2: The Costumes)
While making marmalade last year with my costuming friend Tina and my blogging bestie Miranda from Spooky Little Halloween, we booked a Halloween cruise under the influence of a lot of alcohol (as one does). And then we convinced our other blogging bestie, Cheyenne from Sense & Serendipity to sell find a sitter for her kids and come along…and the rest is history! […]

An Onboard Cruise Excursion: Whisky Masterclass on Carnival
Best thing I do in the first 24 hours on a cruise ship is walk each deck looking for hangouts and first day deals. This seasoned cruise veteran, wine taster, and whisky lover is here to remind you that this is how you find out about fun tastings, classes, and other onboard activities. On one […]
Making My Loblolly Witch Hat
Since last October when I posted my friend Sarah’s How to Make Your Very Own Fabulous Witch Hat, I’ve been wanting to make my own witch hat with fabric and craft remnants. This fall while working on my pine cone costume I did just that, and now Sarah and I have our own tiny craft […]
Costuming Red Carpet Darth Vader
Why wear a basic ball gown on a cruise formal night when I can also be Darth Vader? Especially when on a Halloween cruise! Inspired by Mexico City-based fashion illustrator Guillermo Meraz, I accessorized a stunning black ball gown with the Darth Vader statement necklace I made last year for a dark subtle glam costume […]
