Hello all. I am Angie from The Hotness Your Momma Warned You About, and I am here lending Amanda a hand while her life is on the crazybusy train right now. I'm a 30 eve lady living and loving in beautiful San Francisco and one issue that I always have is taking my day look right into the evening.
Being a city girl, I walk five miles a day, to and from work, so, I typically lace up my Reebok Easy Tones (not kidding, those things are effective) and bag lady it to work every day (I honestly get the strangest looks while walk commuting to and from my office because I look like that quintessential older working gal wearing her professional gear + sneakers, and I am lugging around 12 pounds of junk). I work in an industry that constantly has something going on in the evenings or I am meeting up with The Mister or friends right after putting in that 9 to 5. I am always having to think ahead on what I can wear so that A: My feet don't kill me come 8pm and B: How can I still look chic and keep warm once the fog in the city starts to roll in.
Today I have styled my favorite sundress in two different ways for you all.
DAY
Dress: Anthropologie. Shirt: Gap. Belt: Express. Shoes: Jessica Simpson
You can call me "Mortified Mildred" in this picture, because there are about 3 men outside of this frame making comments and a garbage truck drove by and honked. Ahhhh, the joys of being a blogger. Also, can anyone tell me if this tactic of cat calling has ever worked for any man? Doubtful.
NIGHT
Dress: Anthropologie. Belt: BCBG. Jacket: Local Boutique Called Ambiance. Watch: Michael Kors, Men's Chronograph, stacked with a bunch of cheap-o bangles. Bag: Coach
So, there you have it friends. How do you style from day to night? I'd love to know. Also, don't judge me on needing a tan...believe it or not, it's cool all year long here in SF so, ones skin can become damn near translucent.
Amanda, thank you so much for letting me entertain your readers. Hopefully, I kept the nutbag to a minimum...but if you like reading nutty rants and musings, stop by and say hi to me on my blog.
Champagne wishes and caviar dreams.
Angie

As I mentioned, I took a lil' trip to Joe Fresh and Winners the other day and came home with some goodies. Check 'em out.
As far as Winners goes, I didn't buy much, just some sunscreen and a pair of thigh-high tights like these.
Someone had a great night. Yes, that is four Sapporo beers taped together.
My favourite lip gloss for the past year and a half.
Our shopping cart at Winners (I ended up buying this dress).
WTF. How does this happen?

Hello lovelies, please forgive the slight absence - it's been a week and I was so busy and blah blah blah, who cares right? All that matters is I'm back and that's that.
So let's talk cars. I've decided I'm going to keep my car (I know, right, after the car shopping episodes and all) as it's the smarter choice right now. I would love to have something new (I've had my car for quite a long time) but this just makes sense for now. So yesterday I went to my parent's house and my wonderful Dad put my summer tires on, fixed my trunk latch, installed a new headlight switch (I've been driving around without lights... well, I had daytime running lights but those aren't very bright at night and I'd have to hold the lever halfway towards me in order to get the highbeams to come on... I know, a little bit ghetto, but, since I was planning on buying a new car so didn't want to spend the $75 for a new switch) and replaced my burnt out signal bulb. Having a (retired) mechanic for a Dad has huge perks.
After I left their house, I did a bit of shopping (Winners & Joe Fresh) and picked up a few goodies. I'll take some pics and show you what I picked up (exciting). Also, I know I promised you birthday gift pictures and I haven't forgotten, it's just life has gotten in the way and taking perfect pictures takes a lot of time!
Lastly, I created a vlog of my favourite hair products (as someone asked for that) and loaded it onto my computer and it crashed. It won't even turn on. Of course I didn't put the video on my laptop, that would just be too easy. Le sigh. So, you might or might not be seeing that video in the future. On that note, does anyone have a good (free) video editing software? Hook a sistah up.
