No Pants Allowed.

My daily posts have morphed into to weekly posts. 

Ay yay yay.

I feel like such a slacker.

My sincerest apologies for slowing down.

I've been working non-stop on a big project that's currently top secret.

Oo la la!

Shhhhhhh....

As the launch date approaches, I'll be giving my lovely followers the inside scoop. 

Woohoo!

So stay tuned.

Sunday 11.13.11

Sunday Morning Farmers Market. 

The Japanese Tourist Pose.

Saturday 11.12.11

The Girl Monk.

Trying to give the world a giant hug.

Friday 11.11.11

Electronic Tribal.

Does that even make sense?

I was just looking at this dress again and realized it's part futuristic, part old school tribal. 

Thursday 11.10.11

At the SF Carrots event. 

I had the pleasure meeting bloggers: 

Samantha Rudd & Kendall Asmuth of Sequin Harvest

Caitlin Flemming of Sacramento Street

I love this framed mirror.

Wednesday 11.09.11

The Rockabilly School Girl.

I'm totally sporting red lips but was unable to capture that aspect. 

Double Whammy.

Part Uno.

Currently in the middle of orchestrating a new project that I'm super excited about...

And we all know that excitement and passion often lead to sweat... 

And sweat turns into fun little stain pit marks... 

Yeah, not a fan either!

Best bet on days like this is to wear solid dark colors to hide any evidence of hard work.

And so voila!

Please vote your favorite Marie pose.

Part Deux.

At the JumpStart Business Forum in San Francisco yesterday I wanted to make sure that I:

1) stood out from the pack

2) was sorta more bussinesy (is that a word?!) than normal

3) seemed approachable 

4) was still super stylin, yo!

This was my winning combination:

House Hunting Attire.

Today, my husband, daughter and I went to view some homes in the Bay Area.

 Lil tip for y'all: when you go house hunting, it's imperative to make the best impression possible.

Times like these, I generally tend to dress a bit more girly, conservative, with a funky little spunk.

And BAM we had them eating out of the palm of our hands. Mwah ha ha ha!

Everyone wanted us to pick their crib to call our own.

Unfortunately, we haven't found the perfect place to call home...yet.

Hi ho, hi ho, it's off to house hunt we go...

Onwards and upwards with our search!

Sway Event.

The Sway store in Berkeley had a lil 90's Fall fashion event. 

I'm, like, always, like, down to go to a, like, 90's themed party!

A little Saved By The Bell anyone?

Or how about a bitchin dose of Drew Barrymore?

Stellar!

Remember this fun lil topsy turvy 'do in the early 90's. It was the height of cool back then.
Really, it was.
I promise.
Not kidding.

Love this cute teeny tiny blush dress.
The lil ho in me held me hostage until I bought it!

Colorful necklace - nice!

Being that this was held right on Telegraph there were sooooo many many many young ins, from UC Berkeley, I'm sure. Damn, I felt mature despite my youthful looks (ha!). But seriously, these gals were anywhere between 16-22. So I broke out my not so dirty hot pink cardigan to add that youthful glow and they thought I was one of them!
Yes! I totally tricked them.
That made me feel a little better... :)

A Tank Top?!

Wow, why're you so casual today?

What do you mean?

You're wearing a tank top!

What're you talking about, I wear tank tops all the time. 

Oh never mind, I didn't see your shoes.

It's all about the shoes, man. 

And that's what I've learned recently: no matter how casual an outfit, if you wear some kick ass shoes, suddenly your everyday blah attire (even a tank top!) is L... M... N... OK!

Hey. 

Hey, you.

Ya, YOU.

These handsome navy blue pants are NOT bell bottoms.

Not that there's anything wrong with bell bottoms, but these are W    I     D    E legged pants.

Yup, nice and W    I    D    E and long and uber comfortable.

Ahhhhh, it's nice when there's some breathing room and circulation down there, dontcha thinketh ladies?

Makes for a happier Ms. Ladycakes that's for sure. :)

HI-YA! 

(that's my karate chop, in case you weren't aware.)

Take that skinny jeans!

(although I'm not completely over you...)

Note to self: Next time you go shopping, just remember, comfy threads ain't no good if your footsies are dying. Word.

With all the rage in armpit posing, I thought I'd join in on the fun.
