Happy Friday, friends! Welcome to Friday Favorites. I’m glad you could join me!
This week’s favorites are inspired by my upcoming to trip to Disneyland. Bella and I planned an impromptu mother-daughter trip at the beginning of her spring break.
It lands out that Sunday, April 14 is also Dapper Day at Disneyland. It is a day that celebrates elegant styles from yesterday and today.
There is an expo at Disneyland Hotel and guests of the expo are invited to dress up in their most dapper clothes while visiting the parks. Anyone who knows me, knows that I’m not a dress person, but after reading about the day Bella and I decided to participate. I will dress up in a 50’s style and Bella will be Disneybounding. See my favorites below for details!
Since I have seven faves, I’m also linking up with Kelly for 7 Quick Takes.

This Week’s Fave Activity
Road Tripping to Disneyland
I grew up going to Disneyland with my family and I was excited for the day I could do the same with my own family. For Brian and the boys, one big Disney trip a year is enough for them. However, Bella and I *love* going to Disneyland and once a year is not enough! So we started to take more frequent trips by ourselves.
The last time my mom went to Disneyland with us in Feb 2018
My mom and my sister Jacinta would often join us on these girls weekends and they are some of my favorite memories. This will be my first trip to Disneyland since my mom’s death, so I have conflicting emotions. However, I know she would want nothing more than for Bella and me to have fun and make mother-daughter memories so that’s exactly what I’ll do.

This Week’s Fave Piece of Clothing
Nemidor Vintage 50’s Style Dress
When I searched Amazon for 50’s style dresses, I fell in love with this navy and white dot polka dress. The fact that it came in plus size was the icing on the cake. I tried it on with fingers crossed and I was happy to find that the style was cute and the cut was forgiving. It’s the perfect dress for my first Dapper Day outing.

This Week’s Necklace
Jane Stone Necklace and Earrings Set
I wanted to brighten up the dress so I added some red accessories. Pearls and earrings are a must for a 50’s dress, but the red color is more whimsical that a traditional white.

This Week’s Fave Bracelets
Uniklook Chic Urban Stack Bracelets
I didn’t buy these Uniklook bracelets for this outfit, but they were originally purchased on Amazon. I’ll add one or two to my outfit.

This Week’s Fave Purse
Purse
Lastly, you can’t have a vintage style dress without a matching vintage style purse. I thought this one from Donalworld would fit the bill perfectly since they matched the red flats I’m wearing. (There is no way I’d wear heels walking all day!)

This Week’s FaveDisneybound Outfit
Aladdin
At Disneyland, children are allowed to enter the park in a Disney costume. However, teens and adults cannot, unless it’s for their Halloween party. To work around the rule, Disney fans will do what’s called Disneybounding. Basically you wear a normal outfit that is inspired by a favorite Disney character. It has the spirit and feel of the character, without actually being a costume. For Bella, she loves Aladdin so she will wear something similar to this Disneybounding outfit. π
Those are my favorites of the week! What have you been enjoying?
Have a great weekend!
