Great legs! I've never seen those smiles. Are they potato product? Just my kinda thing! And Diana sauce rocks.

It was! I just had the other half, though it was not as good since the bagel was no longer freshly toasted :(

Thanks!

Yes they are! They're crispy on the outside and the inside is filled with mashed potatoes. I love potato-anything! My mom calls me "potato girl" in Cantonese because I will eat basically anything made from it.

I love both outfits. Your pictures are always so lovely. Those smileys look too cute to eat.

Cute, cute outfits and cute, cute edibles! I love both very ladylike outfits. Those red patterned tights are awesome!

Thank you. I actually go back and forth between the smileys looking cute and looking creepy. haha!

Thanks! Yeah, those tights are pretty awesome. Too bad it's now too cold to wear them again anytime soon!

oh your sandwich looks so yummy, almost as good as your outfits!

Ha! My first thought was John McCain, then I clicked the link. They look like such fun to eat.

Johanne | 2008-11-11 08:41 AM | Reply

It is interesting to see two of your outfits together, they both look so unique that I really cannot choose which one I like the best! The bagel looks yummy ^^

& it was yummy!

When I googled "McCain Smiles" to look for the website, a bunch of sites came up regarding John McCain's smile! haha.

Aw, thanks!

The food looks so good. I love McCain smiles! Remind me of being little! Love how you layered the tights, the colour combo is fab!

Shen-Shen | 2008-11-11 05:38 PM | Reply

Ahh, those tights in the second outfit are amazing!

And aww, those little smiley things.. But yuck, when I hear McCain I think of a certain senile old man..

yulanda replied to winnie | 2008-11-11 06:54 PM | Reply

Thank you! I never had Smiles when I was little. They were introduced to Canada around 2000, and my friend who grew up in the UK bought some so she could make me try them (knowing how much I love potatoes!).

yulanda replied to Shen-Shen | 2008-11-11 06:55 PM | Reply

Thanks! At least that certain senile old man lost ;)

Just wanted you to know I've been browsing through your blog, and I'm loving it! I find myself extremely inspired by all of your dresses, shoes, and romantic vintage looks. Really, really enjoying it.

i love the muted colors, and the quiet, and... the legs in the air shot. one of my favorite things to shoot.

incidentally, i'm also having a lox and cream cheese concoction as i write this.

seriously one of the best ways to start the day.

Oooooo, just love that H&M dress, I tried to buy it and it sold out and I am still crushed about it. Looks great on you...

yulanda replied to Vain & Vapid | 2008-11-13 10:06 PM | Reply

It's a pretty easy dress to replicate though...if you can find a strapless one like that. Or you could even make one with your mad skills :)

I am such a big proponent of fancy and detailed tights. I love this post.
