Day ( 265 )

This is the outfit she wore in the funny scene on the park: "Peeeniiiiiis". The style is preepy. A white shirt, blue-gray vest, tie and a gray skirt.

The shirt I had. I bought at a business clothes store.

The wool vest was a bit more difficult. It was summer, and I could not find many options. I found one which was gray in color, but I decided to dye it right. After the FAIL that was my first attempt to dye the pants, I was a little afraid, but this time I did right! Yey! \ o /

The skirt I bought at Aliexpress.

The result looked like this! I had to learn how to do the tie and everything! Now wait a minute there, I'll scream in the window! Peeeniiiiiis! Ooops! :-P

Day ( 259 )

These are the clothes she wears when discussing with Tom. I could not check if the cardigan is black or navy blue (the scene is too dark!). Would this be  the only scene in which Summer is not wearing blue?

Anyway I have a black cardigan from Levi's.

The black dress pants I bought in Riachuello.

The bag was the one in black color that I adapted with white pieces.

The result was this! An outfit black as the night. Notice I made a matching bad mood face! ;-)

Visiting the movie locations!

Since today is day 250 (halfway through, yay!) I'm going to write a special post! :-D

In our last vacations we went to Los Angeles and recreated the scenes of the movie (as good as possible, since I couldn't pack all my clothes!)

We used as a reference the map from Movie Locations. Thanks to my husband Ricbit who has a great sense of direction, and helped me taking the pictures! <3

Some of the places were a challenge, such as the Angel's Knoll park. Not only it was closed (we had to climb the fence!), it was also very hot! I only put the sweater to take the pictures and took it off quickly! It was also sad to see the state of the park, which is abandoned now :-(

We were lucky with Summer's apartment, someone was moving in that day and the gate was open! hoho. This was our chance the bend the rules a little (again!) and visit the interior of the building. Of course we were discovered and asked to leave, but it was worth it!

The coffee shop where Tom and his friends meet wasn't open. But we discovered later it was never open at all, it is actually a movie set for bar scenes! :-P

The movie theater where they go watch the movie Vagiant is also a movie set! Looks like this is very common in Los Angeles...

We went to same Ikea where they made the movie scene. I also took the time to rest a bit in one of the beds!

The record store apparently doesn't exist anymore. But there is a large bookstore in the same street which also sells records, we took our pictures there.

The "happy dance" fountain, in the Civic Center Mall, looked a bit different from the movie. Now it serves as a summer playground to the children (and for me too, I loved playing in the water!).

I enjoyed a lot going to the Redwood Bar & Grill, the bar where the karaoke scene was filmed. The bartender was very friendly, the burger was tasty, I was able to sit in the exact spot where she sat on the movie, and I also could sing Sugar Town in the stage (there was a machine where you could choose a music). I made a fool of myself but it was worth it. hehe.

Here's some pictures comparing our trip with the movie, hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed the trip! :-D
