Look of the Day: Anti-Dentite

"You're a rabid anti-dentite! Oh, it starts with a few jokes and some slurs. "Hey, denty!" Next thing you know you're saying they should have their own schools."

Yesterday I contunied to celebrate the fresh new start of the New Year by going to the dentist and getting my six month cleaning. I am one of those people who loves going to the dentist. I enjoy getting my teethed cleaned. They just feel so much better after.

Along with starting the New Year off with clean teeth, I also got a fresh start on my 2011 Looks of the Day and I finally recorded my first outfit of 2011. Well let's be honest I don't think I've taken this coat off since the New Year. My sister got me this Free People Floral Cozy Coat for Christmas and I just adore it. Yesterday I brightened it up by pairing it with a red knit beret, a turquoise necklace and my new Pink Marc by Marc Jacobs purse.

Now some people may not think red and pink go together but I like to think bright colors compliment each other, especially when used as accents. So that's exactly what I did. I am pretty certain this pink purse is going to go with a lot things and it just makes me happy when I look at it. And it's big enough to hold my camera with out being bulky. Gotta love it.

Even the inside is cute!

And I love the messenger style strap. That means my hands are free when I'm shopping!

Yay for fresh starts!

Look of the Day: Gotta Support the Team

I was on a high yesterday after the Giants won. I woke up and threw on one of my Giants tees and a tutu. That's right I was in a GOOD mood, and what better time to wear a tutu then the day after Lincecum threw a 9 inning no run game?

Everywhere I went people were rocking their Giants gear and high fiving each other. I have not seen so much sporting pride in the Bay Area for awhile. It almost reminds me of when I was in Germany this summer and the World Cup had the whole Country at a standstill.

Unfortunately last night's game didn't produce the outcome I wanted. But you I know this team of Giants is a team of fighters (and team of beards) and they are going to give me some good games watch. And I will continue to wear crazy outfits to support the team. Face-paint will come out only if necessary!

Rich Aurilla Giants Spring training tee, Forever 21 "tutu", Sf Giants argyle socks, and Chuck Taylor converse.

Humm baby!

Look of the day: Guard and Protect her Heart

My Monday started with a great trip to the Doctors--it looks like i am doing just fine--and ended with the Bachlorette girls session.
I was not expecting that outcome, I thought for sure she was not picking either. I'm not a huge Bachelor/Bachorette fan but I got sucked in this season because I like Ali's clothes. Last night we went to Jen's to watch the season finale. We ooohed and awwwed over the whole episode. When Roberto showed up sweating bullets we were sure he was letting her go. It was pretty cute how in love they seemed though.
As skewed as the reality of that show it's interesting to see how relationships evolve and what makes people drawn to certain people. The whole meeting Ali's family just seemed super awkward though! Well let's just hope Roberto guards and protects Ali's heart, he should also guard her closet because I could steal quite a few things out of there.

Planet Blue Best Bum tee (Ali's a fan of Planet blue tees too), H&M pendent necklace, Siwy destroyed jeans and Urban Outfitters headband.

I also brought over some roasted tomato salsa to snack on. Salsa is one of my favorite things to make with my farmers market hauls.

"You know why? Because people like to say "salsa." "Excuse me, do
you have any salsa?" "We need more salsa." "Where is the salsa? No salsa?"

Yay for good news from the Doctor, Ali from the Bachlorette and SALSA!

Look of The Day: The Puffy Shirt

Yes, yes. This pirate trend that she's come up with, Jerry, this-this is gonna be the new look for the 90's. You're gonna be the first pirate!

Every once in awhile I will come across a piece of clothing that has something that just stands out to me, I would say this Marc Jacobs puffy sleeve shirt fits that bill. When I wear it I feel like a cross between Laura Ingles and Jerry Seinfeld rocking the puffy pirate shirt. I always get a lot of compliments when I wear this top but I feel like it is one of those pieces most people would pass over or pick up and think wow those sleeves are puffy. And I think that is exactly why I love this top, or maybe it's because I just use just about any excuse to reference Seinfeld.

Copy Cat style??

Any other Seinfeld fanatics out there?

Look of the Day: Lodi DOTTIE, We likes to Party

We Don't Cause Trouble,We Don't Bother Nobody

So I mixed in some polka dotties and a bit of color today! There's been a lot a sun out lately, so when I look out the window it looks like spring, but for me it is still too cold to dress like it is spring. So I am still rocking black and boots. And I, for one, am riding out my Ash Olivias as long as I can, although I am itching for spring shoes!
I highly recommend this Forever 21 top, LOVE.
Please, excuse my wet hair.

Worn with my go to Forever 21 bracelet. And my Ash Olvia boots.
And of course I am wearing my Feronia Remember The Moment
Bow Necklace Giveaway on my blog.

Worn with my goto Forever 21 bracelet. And my Ash Olvia boots.Oh and I just watched Seinfeld and all I could think of was a picture of Casey (on the right ) and our BBF Johnny, in Beijing. LOL!
Freakishly close right??

How do you eat them, with your hands?

I love ketchup! When I was little I thought I was going to market and sell bottles of "Mutchup" (I guess I wasn't the only one with that idea, Kramer has the same idea as well). Sometimes I use food solely as tool to eat more ketchup. Take french fries for example, I could eat a whole plate of them, but mainly because I want the ketchup served with them. Recently a blogger (I can't seem to remember who) blogged about butternut squash french fries. Being a fan of sweet potato fries and butternut squash , I decided to give them a try. They were amazing, so much better then sweet potato fries. Here is how I made mine:





Yup, I eat my fries with a fork, just like George eats his snickers with a fork.
"What do you eat the with, your hands?"
Clearly I like spicy things, these could also be made without the spicy aspect. And If you notice my ketchup is in a glass container. I try to avoid plastic as much as possible and disposable items as well. So I buy huge cans of ketchup from Costco and then put it in refillable containers. It is "greener" then buying plastic bottles every time we run out plus I think it looks charming.

And a picture of me many years ago when I ate an marshmallow dipped in ketchup, after Casey's brother dared me. I don't remember it being that bad lol!
