#dashingclashing?

Alright, I will be honest. I am not what one would call such a #fashionista, but I do know what looks good together and what doesn't. While I do not sport anything close to the #highfashion outfits models sport on the runways in other countries, I understand that some colors just shouldn't go. Over break I had begun looking at some fashion magazines in another light. I was inspecting them thoroughly and that is when it hit this betch. I must not understand the #powerofclashing! I don't agree that this outfit on Sarah Jessica Parker, which consists of red and pink, would work. This just screams #ValentinesDay to me! I would never leave my apartment looking like that. I know I would feel extremely #selfconscious and like the colors looked too similar to wear so close together.


This picture to the right made me very interested yet confused all at once. I still do not find this #fashionistabetch that fashionable. She is sporting what I would associate as being a #MulanBun in her hair, for one. Secondly, she is wearing a shirt that is not too flattering. Those prints are not one that I myself would certainly pick out, I suppose is what I am getting at with this one. The pants are #subpar, but I would only consider wearing them with a plain black or white top. Simple is always better. Never would I ever try wearing something so #daring as this betch has done. Also... side-note, but the #KentuckyDerby style hat just does not seem to go with the whole look...just my opinion though!

On a positive note, I enjoy the bag. I think the #lemonylime colors give off a really nice ambiance!


Hold up... this is just not working for me. Unless you are a big dinosaur that plays with children and has been on TV just a littleee too long, the #purple&green combo is not going to work for you. Barney & friends may be the only ones who could actually get away with this (in my mind) fashion faux pas!





Stay saucy & away from the questionable clashing!

#muploadmonday

My newest obsession is called #Pinterest. Lucky for me they have a convenient app for my #IPhone, but it's also a website that holds a collection of the most interesting and amazing muploads that people upload to the website every minute! I would definitely suggest checking it out. Very, very fun & saucy things await you there!!

Below are a few of my favorites!

Enjoy & stay saucy,
Cara

This is called a #BarbieShot! Made by combining 1 oz. Malibu Coconut Rum, 1 oz. Absolut Vodka,  1 oz. Cranberry Juice, and 1 oz. O.J. Enjoy it's zesty sparkle in color and taste!

#FreshPrinceofBelAir - Never gets old.

Shout out to my favorite painter, #BobRoss.

Okay. I know, I am not a cat-person...at all...but how could I resist this?! #Babycheetah lookalike!

Shout out for those decks supporting #movember and/or #noshaveNovember.

A real "animal person" eh?

Oreos, chocolate, and cookie dough, how many hours at the gym will this take to burn off?!

Looks like my definition of the best #cuddlebuddy!

This is my absolute favorite. Still waiting on the day where I will have a #babyHusky!

#highwayhiatus

Ok betches & decks. Let's face it. We all have fears. Common fears: sharks, spiders, end of the world, etc, etc, etc. This betch has a few #uniquefears including airport security line/pat-downs and driving on the highway. I am a #greatdriver on any back-road you put me on. I can navigate like I, my-betch-self, am a Tom-Tom GPS system. However, something must have been flawed with my #GPS-ness today because I found myself on I-695 during holiday rush hour. When I say that I am a great driver, I mean it. But I also mean it mostly because I stick to the back-roads for a reason! No worrying about merging and people letting me into the lane, no stress about horns honking at me, and especially no slow or fast lanes to be judged with how quickly I want to move my motorized vehicle!

Long story short, after I visited the #cobbler (or shoe repairman, since most people apparently think I've been visiting pie-makers) to get my newly re-heeled and polished #CiaoBella boots, I took the wrong turn out of the mall. I found myself merging onto the big highway. The whole time I was on the highway I was seeing signs about Washington D.C. and New York exits. I tried to calm myself down while swearing every other word thinking I was about to either really injure myself, or worse someone else! I found my way home quickly and thank goodness!!! I know what I'm giving thanks for this Thanksgiving!

Needless to say I will be staying only to back-roads for a long, long, LONG time. #highwayhiatus is definitely being set into effect.

Stay saucy & stay safe this holiday season,
Cara

#thankfulforthanksgiving

THANKSGIVING: November 24, 2011


Okay betches. Everyone has their own personal favorite dish for the holiday. Mine is most definitely the #stuffing! I don't know why I am so obsessed with a dish that is made up of mostly bread, celery bits, and sausage but I love it!




We all know the traditional courses that make up the fantastic feast that we all await when November 1 hits the calendar. Betches  and decks all around the states love indulging into the finest turkey, eating #Pillsbury biscuits, cranberry sauces, and all of the #standardworks. But it's time to get with 2011 and update that menu. After all, it's for your family!!!
Traditional dessert courses like #pumpkinpie is always a good choice, but this year if you feel the need to stray off the expected dessert trays, I would urge taking a few minutes to read over this recipe. This is a Hoosier Sugar Cream Pie. I know what you're thinking. Low-cal? I think not! But not to worry because as we all know, calories don't count during the holidays anyway.











Other unique ideas are turkey treats & pilgrim hat cookies. For the turkey just get a pack of #NutterButters and some icing. Use an oreo and stick it on the back of the #NButter so it serves as the turkey's back! Then add icing to to make the feathers pop to the eater's eyes with candycorn pieces! Any candy can serve the turkey justice for it's eyes, beak, and feet. As for the saucy pilgrim hat idea just flip a #Reesescup upside down and plop it on a chocolate wafer. Then use a light brown colored icing to decorate the hat with a buckle and to maintain the cup from sticking to the cookie. I promise you're guests won't complain!!
 When trying to make the table come together take a look at different ways to set it with different center pieces. This is a zesty pumpkin candle holder that will be #betchapproved with the colors of the holiday! It is very #autumnesque and brings any table together!

Stay saucy & happy thanksgiving betches!!

#Julie&Julia

Bouef Bouruignon
Yesterday after spending the day shopping for #mother-daughterbonding, my mom and I spent the rainy afternoon cuddled up on the couch watching #Julie&Julia to get into the cooking spirit for our big Thanksgiving feast!

We wore our pearls and really got into the movie. As her only daughter, it was nice learning new recipes and dishes that we can make together.

We are going to experiment with Julia Child's recipe for #BouefBourguignon which is a combination of beef, bacon, onions, carrots, salt & pepper, red wine, tomato paste, thyme, and bay leaf.

Pegs or Julia Child???
Personally, I am not a big #redmeateater, but I am willing to experiment this one time for the occasion!
I recommend any betches who are planning on helping out this Thanksgiving with recipes and in the kitchen to take a look at her cookbook and recipes.










They can all be found online at http://simplyrecipes.com/tag/Julia%20Child.  Good luck & branch out betches!!!

Stay saucy,
Cara

#peppermintparadise

What is more refreshing than Thanksgiving Break? The rush that comes when you bite into a peppermint patty, perhaps? Yes, I'd have to agree. This morning I went to #Starbucks to meet up with my best friend from high school, Marissa. I went out on a limb and decided to switch up my usual #icedcoffee for something new. With #Starbucks' new holiday drinks selection, I went for their skinny peppermint mocha. #Greatdecision. Plus, who can resist the #holidaycups they offer?!




Soon after that, I was suprised by my loving mother with a tin of #PeppermintBark. What could be better to get a betch into the holiday season than that?!

Stay saucy & refreshed with some peppermint this holiday!

#meanMUGGin

Ever wonder why things are made specifically for betches and some others just for decks?  It is because some things are more feminine and others masculine. Basic idea, right? Right. I'll say I do think that some betches should avoid sporting the long, down-to-your-knees baller shorts and take up some more #gender-appropriate shorts. Maybe even some cute mesh shorts so the transition isn't to #hasty or even starting out with yoga pants for the #comfortfactor. It never hurts to change up our styles and wardrobes. As a betch who tries her best to be true to herself, I am aware that I have to change up some wardrobe selections as the seasons seem to be rapidly changing.

This blog post isn't to poke fun at those who know a different sense of fashion than what most would consider conventionally #fashionable. Instead, this post is more of a #caveat as to help you from slipping into any #wardrobedangers. This post is for you decks. To my betches -- this can be easily shared with your deck if you are nervous he may start being fond of this #trend.

MUGGS (noun): simple definition/translation: MAN UGGS. Yes, we all have seen Tom Brady sporting the MUGGs #clogstyle, however those are not the worry I am trying to get across to you here. I am sincerely worried about the #MUGGs that are the most generic #UGG style offered on the market a.k.a. the one seen sported by Jason Segel in Forgetting Sarah Marshall down below.

It has come to my attention, thanks to a fellow blog-loving deck of mine, that the #MUGGsCrisis has hit the streets of Delaware, Ohio. If this doesn't stop now, who knows how far it may go. I don't want to see this turning into a #MUGGepidemic.
A clueless soul struts #MUGGs in Delco.

Decks, for all your sake please stick to the following rule of #MUGGingout:
If you choose to wear #UGGs, please do keep it to clogs and slippers. Any boot #UGG you place on your deck-toes to keep them warm or what not, will only end up in a comical demise at your expense. Please do not support this fashion faux-pas.



Acceptable #MUGGs in Delco.





Stay saucy and like #NewEnglandDecks Tom (above) and Jake (right) always choose to right footwear,
