Happy Hump Day: Andrew Garfield

Now this is a face you are going to get used to seeing. Andrew Garfield is already pretty recognizable for playing one half of the duo that founded Facebook in David Fincher’s now award-winning film, The Social Network. But he has just sky rocketed to insta-fame with his latest casting: Spiderman. Everyone knows how popular super hero movies are these days, and a lot of people have high hopes for this reboot, especially after the disastrous run of the previous Spidey trilogy. Although I have no idea if they have improved upon the plot line this time around, I can honestly say that there is definitely some light at the end of the tunnel with Garfield (and the lovely Emma Stone!) on board. I’m already buying his Peter Parker way more than Tobey Maguire…and have you heard this boy speak? That is one adorable accent! While you wait impatiently for Andrew to slap on that suit, try to check him out in The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus – he played the naive and lovestruck Anton oh-so-well.

{30 Days of Fashion}: Day 25

January 25th, 2011:

Dress; Thrift store in San Francisco
Jeggings; Nordstrom Rack
Boots; gojane.com
Headband; Wet Seal

Thrifting is common practice in other big cities besides Miami, so I was beside myself when I got the chance to visit some fun thrift stores while visiting San Francisco a couple years back. I got this cute tunic, which makes me feel a little hippy dippy. And Lord knows I’ve needed a little peace and love as of late, am I right? It also helps that it is super comfortable (I admit that at times I choose comfort over fashion), so I felt nice and breezy throughout my work day. I later got my ass handed to me at a spinning class (do not ingest soup before spinning – FYI), and spent the rest of the night catching up on Conan with me, myself and the pups. 😉

Gluten is the enemy

Friday afternoon I received a call from my doctor’s office regarding my blood work. I had been having some pretty severe intestinal issues for about 2 years now, but had been avoiding getting them checked out due to my doctor (aka; needle) phobia. However, the pain and general discomfort had reached an all time high and I finally waved the white flag and made an appointment. When I got the call, I knew they had found something.

And that something was Celiac Disease.

{30 Days of Fashion}: Day 24

January 24th, 2011:

Turtleneck; Zara
High waisted skirt; Old Navy
Footless tights; Target
Heels; Steve Madden found at DSW

What a messy day! I got some dates confused and showed up at something that was scheduled for next week. Seems like my brain has elected to take a vacation. Wish the rest of me would have been filled in. The chill is barely lingering in the air anymore here in South Florida, so this was my desperate attempt to hold on to whatever is left. I adore this skirt because it was such a great deal and works perfectly for the office, but also for play time if paired with a brightly colored tank and strand necklaces (and it has pockets!). My husband has always hated this turtleneck on me (says it is marmish), but I absolutely love the flattering kelly green and wear it any chance I get (neener!).

I’m hoping for a quick and painless work week. My hubs will be out of town on a business trip so the house (& my life) will feel a bit empty and lonely, so I’m pinning for the weekend!

ps; Hope you enjoyed the cameo from my baby BT, Gwen. She did that all on her own. I guess she is hoping to have her own blog one day – she does take after momma!

Weekend Highlights

My bestie, Elsie, and I gorging on our Cake Shakes from Sugar Rush!

Friday night I took my happy little butt right back over to the Tamiami Truckers food court. After a few fun tweets back and forth with Sugar Rush, Sweetness Bakery’s own truck, I had to make sure I swung by for these much gabbed about Cake Shakes. They sound just as evil as they taste, trust me. This particular shake was made with chunks of their red velvet cupcakes, ice cream and a mound of whip cream. It was all sorts of heaven encased in 500+ calories. Oof. If you have one serious sweet tooth, definitely grab one of these the next time you are in the neighborhood.

I was also really happy to see my buddies, Yellow Submarine, at the event. After chatting them up a bit, I was told they would be there every week from now on. So make sure you visit them and pick up a yellow burger…or a yellow dog…or an original sin. Or one of each. Whatever your little heart desires.

A Yellow Burger, in case you need further tempting.

I saw on the event’s Facebook page that they will be moving locations this week, which bums me out a bit, since I liked it being so close to home, and I hope the move is not too drastic. Unfortunately, I won’t be able to make it this time around as I have a friend’s birthday to attend, but I hope it is just as spectacular! Maybe one of you can bring me a souvenir? 😉
