Edwardian Ball 2014

I love that its only January and im already discovering new things. Like Ive said before, I have been living in the Bay Area all my life and I have continued to discover new things around here! One of them being...... the Edwardian Ball! If you are following me on Instagram you might have seen some photos that I have posted from the event. If you are not following me, then you must be wondering what the Edwardian Ball is?! Its a celebration full of music, art, fashion, theater, circus and the creations of the author, Edward Gorey! Every things set in a whimsical, Edwardian, steampunk theme! You can read all about it here! Its held once a year in both San Francisco and Los Angeles! I actually had just heard all about this last Tuesday and bought my ticket for Fridays event the night before. haha. I really wanted to go to Saturdays Ball but I think for my first time.. Friday would sufficed. it was one of the coolest things I have ever witnessed! Everyone was dressed in such amazing outfits. Some were even in character! dancing and acting all around the place. It was held at the Regency Ballroom in San Francisco. Which fit the whole theme perfectly! it was so Victorian and vintage. The event had about 3-4 levels full of partying. kinda. downstairs was actually a Vendors Bazaar.. people had booths and tables full of their Edwardian creations, it was so cool! I took some photos id like to share in this post but I apologize in advance for the crappy lighting =/ it was quite dark in there.

If youre in the Bay Area or LA (you can still catch the LA Edwardian Ball on February 8th!) and looking for something new/fun, you have got to check out the Edwardian Ball! Its definitely a memorable event!
