I got a chance to visit Magic Castle soon, and while I'm excited, I dont really own a lot of evening gowns. The only formal/cocktail-ish attire I have on me is the link I shared.

i was thinking of wearing this, black stockings, and chunky oxford heels (also the only pair of heels I have). Maybe I can buy a blazer? Not sure if I want to spend money on new shoes tho :(

Thoughts appreciated!

Edit: thanks for the comments guys!! Glad to know that this will pass. I’ll consider getting a blazer and a necklace!!

Probably a common thread here, but wondering if you guys have a fav coffee place in Pasadena, disregarding the vibe of the space.

I absolutely love Jones Coffee. I think their coffee hits the spot; their latte is just fabulous. I enjoy their space too but their coffee is amazing.

Second is Two Kids Coffee in South Pas; I like their matcha almond milk latte. so good!!

I've been to copa vida, the boy and the bear, republik, and intelligensia, and while the vibes are nice, i think their coffee is sort of mid. Not bad, but just average.

danbi and mandarin are good too but they feel more like dessert coffees...?

I've been to Jameson once but it's a little far from me but i remember liking their coffee.

Any reccs/opinions? would love to hear everybody's thoughts 😄

Edit: THANK YOU for the reccs yall!! i got jameson today cuz i wanted some light roast beans but gonna try all the locations mentioned here :DD

Edit 2: I'll give another shot at Mandarin!! Tbf I've only tried their signature drinks I think and it's been a while since i've visited after they blew up on tiktok. I'll try their espresso drink next time!
