I'm home and settled in from my very first New York trip!! I had an amazing time and have tons of photos to share! Because there are so many though, I'll be breaking things up into two posts. Be prepared for two crazy photo posts!

No drawings or video tutorials with this week's "What I wore"... I have been out of town since Sunday without access to a computer! Which was actually pretty nice. ;) I did manage to snap a few photos at my Aunt & Uncle's house Tuesday morning of my outfit, so I'll share that!

Look at that poooooll!!! Unfortunately, it was a little too cold to swim while I was there. Maybe next time I go visit!
Shopping tips:
Recently someone on flickr asked me where I do my shopping and if I had any discount websites I recommend... I buy most of my stuff on Zappos (sometimes has prices cheaper than other stores + free shipping), Ideeli (awesome discount site) or directly from a brand when it goes on sale. I just watch for good deals and usually stuff is on sale after a few months and I save to buy it... other times I've purchased things second hand from Ebay or off of internet pals cleaning out their closet. If you have stores like TJ Maxx, Nordstrom rack, Ross, Marshall's or Loehman's in your area, they sometimes have really great finds also. Another thing I've done is customized an item I don't wear anymore - like the shoes in this outfit! They were silver, but I painted them black. The paint will eventually come off and I'll have to touch them up again, but for now they look nice and give me something different to wear! Saving money, having a little patience and a creative idea or two on using what you've got can go a long way :)
A shot with out crazy sunlight stuff going on. The lighting indoors was nice but not a lot of space... and it was really good on the back porch but it was SO cold. I'm trying to learn more about taking photos and lighting, so I tried a few pics in all different spots... Such as the super cold shade - Hence my derpy face here, haha:
"BRRRR get me outta here!"
Oh Disney world... Above is a very excited 7 year old San who is about to experience Disney World for the first time! This was my "passport" from 1990 - I think it was our discount card or something for being Florida residents so we could come back multiple times in a year? I can't believe I still have it. I think I might have saved it as a child thinking it was my secret ticket to get back to Disney someday...
And above is me in 1990 meeting Mickey Mouse for the first time. (Doesn't it look like he is eating my head or something?? haha!) For those who don't know, I grew up in Florida and was fortunate enough to visit Disney World twice as a child and then again as a teenager in 1997. I'd scan some from 1997, but they are in a box at my mother's house... so perhaps another day!
For contrast, this is me 20 years later at the entrance of Magic Kingdom! I actually teared up a little when we walked in because I was so overwhelmed with emotion and excitement... seeing everything brought back so many memories of happy times with my family. It was also really fun to watch the reactions of the people I was with - especially Emma who was visiting the park for the very first time! She was super excited!
After the cut there are a TON of photos from the second day into my Orlando Vacation... all from Disney World's Magic Kingdom! Enjoy <3

Here is my first update on my Orlando trip! This post is all photos from day 1 at Islands of Adventure. We got up super early to get there, which was nice because it didn't get crowded until after 1. If you ever plan on going to visit... I recommend you do the same. Not waiting in long lines was fantastic, and it was a lot easier to take pictures of things!
Arrival at Islands of Adventure right when it opened!! This was my first time visiting the park ever! Same for Jonathan and Emma... but Chris had been there before. I was a leeetle excited to say the least ;)
