This is the only Harry Potter specific item I brought to wear on my trip. I bought this Gryffindor sweater directly from the place that made it for the movies way back in 2009 (I think, maybe earlier.) Fortunately for fans they sell them at the theme parks now. But I kind of like that mine doesn't have the WB/Universal logo anywhere on it. Makes it more special, ha ha.

We interrupt vacation recaps for this special post! Check back tomorrow for more from Florida!
*The boots featured in this post were a gift from Duo Boots. All opinions are my own.*
Earlier this month, Duo Boots emailed to ask if I wanted to participate in their #MyDuo Style Guide campaign. I was sent a pair of boots to style up in two different ways. I chose the "Ani" Chelsea boot because I was in desperate need of navy shoes, and the style is really cool. I first wore them out to dinner with my friend Kat (outfit #2) and again the following day for some shopping (outfit #1) where I spent way too much money! I actually changed into a new jacket after I bought it, so you're seeing the results of my shopping!
Outfit #1: Blazer: Paul Smith (Roundabout Resale), Sweater: Kenar c/o Marshalls, Jeans: Current/Elliott (The Outnet), Necklace: Mom's, Boots c/o Duo 'Ani'
Outfit #2: Dress: vintage (Twitch Vintage), Blazer: Elie Tahari (Coco's on the Green), Boots c/o Duo 'Ani'
Happy Friday the 13th! What a perfect day to be sharing some magical photos from my vacation! These are from Hogsmeade, the park that opened in 2010 and the Hogwarts Express which opened this Summer. I was going to post both together, but there were too many photos, so I'll share Diagon Alley next week. This is where the bulk of my trip was spent since we took the vacation for the Celebration of Harry Potter. So on Friday, Saturday and Sunday we spent our days pretending to be wizards. And then my friend Kat and I got an extra day on Tuesday since we were stuck in Orlando due to snow up here on the East Coast.
This is what I wore for the first day of the Harry Potter festivities! I wanted to bring outfits that were Harry Potter-esque but not costumey. So here's a Slyherin-ey snakeskin sweater! Unfortunately I forgot to take pictures of this outfit during the day, so we had to do it inside the hotel (without the flash) so they're a little grainy. You can get another glimpse of this look from my 'Pal'entine's Day post.

A quick photo diary of our day at Disney and EPCOT. As I said in yesterday's post, we had lunch at Be Our Guest. For dinner we headed to EPCOT and ate at Restaurant Marrakesh, where I had some delicious chicken and couscous (a weekly staple in my kitchen, so it was fun to eat the authentic version)
We also got stuck on Test Track at EPCOT. We were one of the last groups to go on and luckily the car I was in stopped inside. Some of my friends got stuck at a 36 degree angle OUTSIDE....scary stuff!
