Yesterday was Opening Day of Baseball. I'm not going to lie - it kinda felt like Christmas morning. So what did I do? Threw on my new pair of H&M orange pants to show my team spirit. Even though the Giants ended up losing I still may have to wear these jeans every game. They are the perfect pants to wear to work and cool enough wear to grab drinks in to cheer on the team. Gotta love them. So have you caught on to my trick this year? I had to pull a prank like last year's.
In case you ever need it here is a handy-dandy Pig Latin Translator - enjoy!
Oh and let's go giants!

You all know I couldn't help myself! Are you pulling pranks today?

Look of the Day: Very Superstitious

I'm a creature of habit. I once ate tomato soup for lunch everyday for about 3 months (maybe longer). My friend Mandi is convinced that I hold the world record for consecutive days of eating tomato soup.
Not only am i habitual, but I am also superstitious. The giants have been kicking butt and taking names this week, and I ave been wearing dresses everyday, so when It came to getting dressed yesterday there was no question I had to rock a dress. The Giants have a streak going and so do I.
Technically it wasn't actually a dress but these pieces are almost made for each other so they practically were a faux dress. Plus I got a lot of compliments on my "dress" yesterday and the Giants kept their streak alive so I think it was fine.

You know I'm rocking a dress again today...the writing's on the wall.

Look of the Day: Mustard Seed

Yesterday, I kept my dress streak going for the fourth day in a row. Can you believe I never busted out any of these dresses all summer? Poor little things were hung up just waiting to come out and play.
Yesterday's outfit came together after I had the urge to wear something in yellow. So I started with my Rodarte for Target cardigan and paired it with my We the Free studded dress, the sandals were a natural choice and are another Target purchase, so they matched perfectly.

I am loving mustard colored pieces right now!

I love the stud details on the dress.

Look of the Day: 98 Degrees

Yesterday my Facebook and Google reader were bombarded by complains of California's scorching heat. I, for one, was not complaining. It may be hot but I feel like I finally have a chance to wear all my unworn summer dresses. This summer I pretty much lived in Jeggings because hot days were few and far between.
I also remember last fall starting out this warm as well, one reason I have put off purchasing boots and sweaters. I learned that lesson after watching many of my "fall" purchase plummet in price before I wore them last year. The seasons just aren't what they used to be to me it seems as if Fall is the new Summer, and Spring is the new Winter.
Since the temperature was over 100 degrees, I think it was perfectly acceptable to break the old never wear white after Labor Day rule.

Yay for sandals, dresses and enjoying the weather while it's here.

Look of the Day: Parker Posie

Between the weird weather, my hospital stays and a trip to Europe I hardly put a dent into my summer clothes. Take this Parker Cami Dress for example, I purchased it in the spring with a rewards gift card and I never wore. It's perfectly good dress, that I love, but it was left sadly in the closet. And as much as I'm itching for fall clothes I'm using this heat wave as an excuse to bust out as many of my unworn summer pieces as possible.

These Cynthia Vincent sandals sure got their use. Despite bring 4 pairs of shoes, these were the ones ones I wore in Europe.

I'll be back soon..I need your help picking out a dress to wear to a wedding this weekend!

Look of the Day: Summer Loving Happened So Fast

While the magazines, stores and catalogs are trying to convince me it's fall but I know better. Looking back at Looks of the Day from last year I know that the heat will be in out and of here until at least the beginning of October. Which means I still have time to reevaluate what I want to add to my wardrobe before the cold weather really creeps in and settles itself. So when the temperature dropped a bit yesterday I jumped at the opportunity to trade in my shorts and skirts for my jeggings. Mixing in pieces that you can't wear in the heat waves helps fend off that dreaded summer drag. You know when you stare in you closet and have difficult time finding anything you want to wear. However, our nightcap of ice cream with my in laws and nieces made it feel like a summer night, despite the cool weather!

Yay for the Nordstrom Half Yearly sale, putting off fall shopping and enjoying summer while it is still here.

Look of the Day: Butterfly In the Sky

I spent the past two days poolside with my very best friends. Because of my hospital stays and trip it had been a while (for us) since we all hung out, so it was nice to spend some time together. However, we tend to get a bit silly when we all hang out and are immediately transformed into our sixteen year old selves. Yesterday was full of giggles, text messaging picture wars and some Facebook stalking. We ended our two day poolside extravaganza by going to a local restaurant for a glass of wine and Mediterranean happy hour platters. It's so nice to have friends you can free and silly with, because sometimes it seems like other people don't understand our funny ways. I love you girls!

Yay for giggling, butterflies and girl talk.

Look of the Day: Summertime and the Livin's Easy

So I did end of resting yesterday! I spent the day lying next to my pool. After being inside for the past four days all I wanted to do was be outside. I could spend hours in my pool. I've been known to spend entire weekend out there. I could go a few days without ever putting on shoes and hanging poolside. And yesterday was no different. I parked myself outside with some magazines, nail polish and my ipod and logitech speakers and chilled outside bumping Sublime and other summertime songs. My friend Vanessa who joined me poolside, entertained me with her sweet poolside dance moves. She's crazy lol!
When Casey got home I made a late minute decision to go with him to his softball game and I quickly threw on an outfit. Who wears an outfit like this to a softball game, you ask? Someone who wore a hospital gown for the past few days--that's who.

Yay for being poolside, summer dresses and summertime.

Look of the Day: Laundry List

The past month and a half has been a bit interesting. First I was sick and in the hospital and immediately after I was gallivanting through Europe. And somewhere along I turned 28, but I don't really recall that part. While I had planned to relax and take it east this weekend, in reality I have a laundry list of things I need to do and have put off for too long. One of them includes attending my Sis in Law's baby shower tomorrow morning an hour and half away, game time decision on that call. My sis also happens to be in town this weekend, so lots to juggle. I have to say being home is a bit of a bummer. I swear could live in hotels and I just love traveling. I just hope my next trip comes soon! I will say though having a closet full of clothes, opposed to a suitcase of clothes, was nice.

Contemplating how I am going to attack my massive to-do list.

I just love breezy bohemian tops!

Yay for to-do lists, closets, and cheap Forever 21 Sunglasses.

Look of the Day: I got to Say, Today Was a Good Day

The Lakers beat the Supersonics Celtics

If you're a basketball fan your day may have been defined by the outcome of last night's game. I, myself, had a pretty good day today, for more then one reason, and for once sports had nothing to do with it. But rather good news from the Doctor, I am finally making progress and am well on my way to recovery. Thank goodness because I am leaving for Europe on Tuesday!

After my good news appointment I headed up to visit my Gma, who was released today from the hospital (Yay!) and also seems to be on her way to recovering. When we were waiting for my Gma to be released, my Dad stopped by and dropped off a care package from his coworker and her daughter, who read the blog! So sweet! And if that wasn't enough to make my day a happy one, Rosa, one of my twitter buddies, and a loyal blog reader and commentator on many blogs (but does not have her own blog...YET) sent me an email with a link to a birthday present she had sent to me from Etsy!!

I was shocked BLOWN away by the thoughtful gifts I received today! Thank you Ladies! After a couple crummy weeks it was so nice to have a day full of good news and sweet surprises. It's amazing how gestures like that can really make your day. Likewise, your team winning can make (or break) your days as well.

My outfit was much like yesterday's jeggings (I'm addicted and they seem to be the best choice to wear in this weather and inside the freezing hospital), a loose tee, and lots of rings and things.

I can't get enough of hats, I just wish I had more in my collection.
I love how they make an outfit fun and keep the sun off my face.

Wearing all the same jewelry as yesterday.I always feel a bit Britney in fedoras.

Thank you to Traci, Jax and Kaitlyn!! I loved my color coordinated pick me up gift!! SO cute! I can't wait to wear the scarf in Europe! And I love the little horsey! I TOTALLY made those as a kid! Thank you so much!

Did anyone else have this art set when you put beads on little pegs and then iron them and they all melt together? I loved that art set!
How cute is this gift?

Yay for good days, thoughtful gifts and people who make me smile.
