Since we are sort of on the topic of fashion, I came across this little gem. Im obsessed with this band called The Veronicas..which consists of two aussie girls, Lisa & Jessica Origliasso. They are pretty well known for their songs "4ever", "Untouched", and "Take me on the floor" (which by the way is their new single, check it outt) and their fabulous stule. Every week, on their website (theveronicas.com) they post style tips, amongst other things and I found this so cute and hilarious. Im pretty obsessed with band and have been since I first heard their song 4ever back in 05 or 06.

2009 MET Ball Gala....
Fashion has always been something I have been very into, thanks to my mom and aunt, although I wouldnt necessarily make it a career or study it in school. I think its mostly because that kind of industry is dirty and cold. Its full of people who have their heads so far up their asses, that they like the smell of their own shit, its kind of like that SF south park episode. I wouldnt want my life to revolve around countless hours of working for something who treats me like shit and makes me feel badly about myself, meanwhile having no family or friends because you have no time, and mostly because people in the industry are so mean and cold that they simply dont care. Maybe its a stereotype, but ive seen it first hand. Im more into being happy with my career and being able to love myself, my body and my job. Its a neat thought, but in the end, its not for me. Needless to say, Im a girl...who loves fashion and clothes. I spend a good amount of time reading fashion magazines and looking stuff up online, so naturally I was very interested in seeing the MET gala pictures. I think its funny how half of these people who went have amazing style, but completely blew it on that day because they wanted to top everyone. I guess that goes to show that when you try too hard, you end up looking like a fool.
Here are my faves and my least faves (please remember, im not an expert...these are just opinions)
Kanye West and Amber Rose killed it! They look absolutely breathtaking! I have always liked them as a couple, they complement each other so well! Amber Rose's dress and skin color contrasts so nicely! Its one of the things ive always liked about being tan...reds and oranges look fabulous on you! Did I mention I envy her ability to rock the bald head?
Heidi Klum kind of disappointed me this time. I was a strong believer that she never fails at looking fashionable, but this Navy Blue J. Mendel dress is a bit tacky. I think its too voluminous, and although she IS pregnant, I dont know if it works. I do, however, love her up do! I think it elongates her neck and makes her look so fresh and naturally flawless (which she is).
Yikes! Way to ruin a beautiful Jason Wu gown by pairing it with a pair of hideous black heals and black tights. If she got rid of those two things, she would have looked amazing! Her hair is also looking a bit rough. Her pink clutch also blows.
ahhh, Blake Lively! Definitely one of my favorite fashionistas! She always looks so chic and yet so her own style, which I admire. I love her Versace dress, despite other critics. I love the slit, the sleeve, the hair, the make up and the shoes. That color especially compliments her very well!
oh jesus, can anyone ever criticize this woman? Look at her! She may be the only one who can rock that Marc Jacobs Asymmetrical frock. Never fails. Although, she should probably stop tanning?
two of my favorite ladies are present in this picture, and both look amazing! Kate Bosthworth is another celebrity I admire. She always looks so classy yet edgy and different. Red lips look good on very very few people, but she rocks it! Liv Tyler, look amazing!! She is such a classy lady, so chic and so flawless. Her Stella McCartney (whom also dressed Kate) is gorgeous. Love the detailing and I love how it looks against her pale skin. Her hair looks amazing as well as her make-up. I love love loooove it. As for the other two, Im just not feeling it. Especially that lacy get up. I mean honestly...being a very successful fashion designer (and one of my faves to follow) you should know how to not wear hideous outfits.
This is one of my top 2 favorites of the night! Im a huge fan of natural, classy beauty. Marion Cotillard looks breathtaking. Her pale pink Dior gown looks very chic with her curls and natural make-up. I admire natural beauty more than any else when it comes to the sort, mostly because its the true meaning of beautiful, anyone can cake makeup on and look good, very few can look this good otherwise. Her look appeals to me so much more! Hands down one of my top favorites.
I cant decide whether I like this or not. One thing I can say though is that I admire the fact that she kept her hair and make-up simple since she already has A LOT going on. Still very chic in my opinion, but when is she not?
One of the things you learn being a small framed girl is that its never ok to make yourself look smaller, which is something MK does ALL THE TIME! its really no wonder people call her a troll...she makes herlsef look stumpy and midget-like. Its a combo of the unnecessary layering and long hair.
Bar Refaeli rocked this look! Very simple yet very bold. Love it.
Kate Moss is one of my biggest fashion icons! I love that woman to death and I dont care what she has done in the past, her style is amazing. However, she let me down big time. This turban and gold gown are not doing it for me. Her make-up looks horrid as well, and to be honest she doesnt even look like herself. Big let down! However, Marc Jacobs looks dashing. I do love Kates Shoes!
ahh yes, A fashion icon of mine that did not let me down! Rachel Bilson looked amazing! The color and cut of her dress is so fierce. This is how short people should do it. Her shoes tie evertything together and makes it her own. Typical Rachel actually, she is known to be very simple with one splash of funk. Love it!
Eva Mendes, always a favorite of mine. Looking very simple yet very Chic in a Calvin Klein gown. Minimal make-up and subtle jewelry.
To be honest, I love this look. Rhianna is known to rock the most obscure outfits and still look extremely chic and gorgeous. I admire any woman who can make mens wear look extremely feminine and she does it all the time. The cropped pants with the shoes are perfect. Hair and make-up look fierce as well. I think she could have lost the gloves though....
No, just no!
eek. Katy Perry never stuns me with her attires. She looks awful. Everything about her look is so god damn awful. Yuck.
Beautiful! Claire Danes never fails to look absolutely gorgeous and classy.
I think this is super fun and flirty. I love her hair and the dress are edgy! I dont particularly like the sleeve though...or the blue bag.
Love this! I looove her wrap around pale pink dress, and I mostly love the black accents. Her shoes are super cute!
You all know my love for Anne Hathaway. She totally rocked it with her Marc Jacobs frock and 80s retro hair.
Yikes, for someone who also always looks flawless, Giselle sure did bomb this one! Nothing about this works.
I will give props to he usually very bland Jessica Biel for her dress and hair/MU...Although im not a HUGE fan of her dress, I think it works, and the color looks good on her. Her hair is very nice and classy along with her shoes! what is UP with JTs glasses? lets not turn into Kanye, Jt.
hands down my favorite look of the night! Iman looks FLAWLESS! The kind of flawless I wish I could be. Her dress falls in all the right places. The cream color of her dress looks amazing gorgeous against her dark skin! Her hair is very classy and beautiful and her jewerly as well. Ahhh she looks amazing for her age!!! I particularly love the top part of her dress. For someone small chested (like myself) its important to have ruffles and volume in that area of your body, it makes everything look proportionate and it makes your body look slim and perfect! Perfect perfect perfect!
Oh Molly Simms....no no noooo, again..trying wayyyy too hard.
ash much as I adore Milla Jovovich, I do not adore this dress. The color is no flattering to her skin color and the detailing is a tad bit silly.
again with the making yourself look smaller attires. Ugh.....at least Ashley keeps it classy without the layers and the cute bob and make-up. She was always the better twin.
yikes....
double yikes....and probably worst dressed, along with Madonna!
Thats all! Now its your turn! Who here follows fashion/is interested in it at all? Who are your favorite designers, fashion icons, trends, looks etc etc....I would love to hear!

Music
http://www.mtv.co.uk/shows/mtv-push/episode/mtv-push-presents-the-veronicas
^ I love those acoustic shows The Veronicas for MTV Push. Lisa's voice in the song "This Love" is incredible!! Im a huge fan of Lisa's voice without it being produced. Make sure to check these out.
In other news, I stole a bunch of music from Nick last night haha. I stole all of his Common Market and Blue Scholars songs as well as all of his Gorillaz music. Im pretty much obsessed with Blue Scholars. Coming from someone who doesnt normally like rap...at all, this shit is amazing. Their lyrics are so powerful and their beats are catchy but still not overly obnoxious. I already have a couple favorite songs; southwest revival, no rest for the weary and sagaba remix. Im a pretty big fan of Common Market too, I remember when Nick and I first started dating he would say that Common Market reminded him of me because it made him smile so much. hahaha what a cheesy thing to say, but still pretty damn cute. :)
My clothes from my shopping spree arrived today. Im still expecting one more from topshop but I dont think that will be coming until tomorrow....I hope.

I cant believe people in our country, the country who was built on equality for all etc, have such obscure thoughts about something that show be no different then racial issues. This whole much needed debate started at Miss USA this weekend when the openly gay Perez Hilton ( one of the judges) asked Miss California what her thoughts are on states legalizing same sex marriage. Of course, as you may already figured it out, she said she believed that marriage should be between a man and a woman. I honestly believe that everyone should have their own opinions. I mean, I cant believe that an abnormal amount of people in this country are still racists. We look back on those times and cringe at the fact that it ever happened. Whats the difference now? The video above is of a hot debate between Perez and some douche bag radio personal who is opposed to same sex marriage. If you listen to his opinions and his points about it, it makes absolutely no sense. Thats the thing, when we ask conservative people why they are opposed to it, the always bring up the issue of the bible/church/god/, restating the definition of marriage (which has been redefined before...and wasnt it for a good cause?) Anyways, this man brought up the fact that male and females are very different, in what way, im not sure since he failed to explain himself. Seriously though, what does that have to do with ANYTHING?? A family of a male and a female can give greater love to their children? No, that is so false in so many ways. I think its truly sick how anyone can ever say such a thing. Gay couples arent capable of giving greater love to their children and showing them, raising them to be civilized americans? Thats what people are scared of? Fucking ridiculous man. These people are normal, just like me and you and they are tax payers. Shouldn't that give them the right to have a civil union and share all of the great things about marriage? Marriage between two people is the same in every language, every culture and every country. Love is love and isnt THAT what marriage should be based on? hmm...Another argument that I cant quite wrap my finger around is that if America legalizes same sex marriage, they will have to legalize marriage for everyone else this includes; bestiality, incest, and marrying two people. Seriously? These people have their heads up so far in their ass that they cant see the CLEAR difference between two people of the same sex loving each other and someone wanting to marry and animal, or their fucking sister? Ugh I am so peeved. When will this country do what they preach and fucking get it together. I am so saddened by the many gay people I know who are being discriminated so badly by their own country. When will we wake up and look back on this and cringe just like we do now. So many suicides have been happening. Is this what we want for our country? For people to feel like they have to end their lives because they're not being accepted? Conservatives always preach about things not being patriotic and even the good ol precious Bill O' Reilly said that americans support each other and should be supported no matter what you believe....I mean he is full of shit clearly because he is nothing short of ignorant, but its true...we SHOULD all love each other. Gay, straight, black, white, asian, hispanic, we are all PEOPLE. We are all HUMANS and if normal humans, NORMAL TAX PAYERS cant have basic civil rights then wtf is this country living up to? Quick 2 second weddings in Vegas arent ruining the sanction of marriage but oh gosh what out for those gays, they will each your family.

Brilliant!
I just came across the most genius blogs of all time! Theres nothing like a good ol' blog about treacherous things you wouldnt even think about ever saying. ladies and gents (although....I doubt any "gents" read this) I introduce to you, TheBoobs Its bascially all about random shit like boobs, nail art, random findings of weird things (for example...check out the hello kitty lingerie get up and the hello kitty vibrator...). This blog definitely had me going for a good hour.

Sorry I have been abondening my poor little blog. I have been going back and forth between this and my lj. I guess if you still love me you can check out my stuff there as well click here!. I cant decide which one I like best, so if I go weeks and weeks without updating its most likely because I'm updating that.
Anyways, on too more important (or less important?) things, yesterday was such a nice day! 75 degrees!! 75 degrees doesnt seem like much to those living in warmer places, but 75 degrees for eastern washington is a blessing. Nick and I went outside to the park right by here and played cards. I bought my vogue to read as well. We just relaxed and enjoyed the sun! I loved every minute of it!! A bunch of random people were out too which made everything a little nicer :) By the way our 14 months was April 1st!! 14 months!! thats crazy and my longest official relationship! <333 Also while reading Vogue, I was reading a little tid bit on Adele, who is my new obsession by the way. In the article she was talking about her fashion sense and her favorite places to shop (around the world btw) and she said she particularly loved 21st street in Portland (specifically the vintage shops there)!!! I thought it was SO cool that out of all the places shes been to around the US alone, she chose the amazing little street in Portland! :) love it when one of my cities gets recognized by big names in big magazines like that (glamour also talks about Portland a lot too)!! I really liked the whole article as well, she seems like such a genuine artist and I love how although she looks like a sweetheart all innocent she actually has major attitude, she doesnt give two shits about her figure and I really admire that! Her voice is amazing as well, she has such strong vocals, very Etta James like. Definitely check out her songs if you havent!!
Also I discovered Twitter for the second time, and this time it actually clicked! If any of you have one and would like to follow me, my username is Sweetcarolinee. I actually update an absurd amount of times and I try to keep it a little more interesting then jus the usual "going to school...." things.
Edit: Does anyone here have an ipod touch/iphone? if so, what apps do you guys have and why? Im trying to find some cool ones but I get so impatient/ dont have enough time in a day to look for them, so please...spread the love.
