That Scottish accent draws me in almost as much as chocolate icecream on a day like today...and i guess the musics ok...haha

Hello all....I was just inspired to post right now even though it is nearly midnight, and i am going to have to wake up @ the un-godly hour of 7:45 to get up for Pilates, which is alright b/c that is how I will have a nice Pilates body....plus my teacher is basically the shizz....she's really nice....anyways, not more blogging about Pilates, although I am tempted to...and you know what , I will rant for a little while....Pilates is really good for you, I discovered it w/ my mom, and if you're into like not lifting iron, I mean pumping...haha....its very low impact but VERY strength building, and you get to do all sorts of gymnasticy things....I love it....and it makes your posture perfect, which makes me love it even more....








So onto what i actually meant to blog about....tonight I went to see Snow Patrol which was very excited, since they're one of my favorite bands, so seeing them live was amazing b/c I actually knew some of the lyrics....imagine that ha!



They played all of my favorite songs, "Chasing Cars" (of course), "Run", "Open Your Eyes", "Chocolate", "Make This Go on Forever" I dont know if there are any fans, but if you guys love them, try and see them in concert.....all of their lyrics are so romantic....omg i almost died when they spoke with their HOT Scottish accents, a la Sean Connery a.k.a. my extreme crush....so what if hes old? Hes still hot...



To think I might not see those eyes


Makes it so hard not to cry


And as we say our long goodbye


I nearly do





"Run" Lyrics



I mean how can you not just melt listening to that.....i love it....



Anyways, I am pretty tired but I have been dilligently searching like a good fashion addict for a pair of flat suede boots for fall....perferably "slouchy" if you get my jist...I found this really adorable pair on Zappos but then it said that they are sized REALLY small, and I already have a hard enough time trying to find shoes that fit my obnoxious giant size 11 feet...i hate it....but I am dying to get a pair of boots, I need them....they are going to be my key peice this fall....I NEED THEM....not that im getting frustrated at my stupid feet or anything....stupid genes.....

These are the Zappos ones...arent they really cute? I think so, and the heels not big, because I'm already 5'11 and I don't need to be even taller then the boys then I already am....

They're made by a company called Fitzwell Artisan...somehow I think thats funny....$100.00...babysitting is going to pay off....;)

And then I found this pair on Urban Outfitters....they're really cute too...nice and simple...easy to tuck jeans into and pair with my chic outfits...haha...and I'm debating which pair to get.....these come in like hot pink and yellow too, but I'm sticking with the classics....how boring of me....

Suede Color Block D'Orsay Flats...$48.00

And then these shoes....what can I say about them other then the fact that I am in love with them? They are so gorgeous....the colors and the cut and the gold lining and just everything....og i want them so badly to wear with my jeans....they also come in a black/grey/purple version which is also so pretty...too bad they dont even come in my size....FANTASY ENDED....

And then this...this isn't even for the clothes....its for the models malnurished-bony-skeleton-looking-back....I mean come on.....Thats just annoying... its not like we're @ Prada's Fall 2007 Runway show where all of the Eastern European beauties "natrually" look like that....this is frickin Urban Outfitters...I don't need a model whose back bones could literally be wings....and I'm not trying to be annoying here, but can we feed this girl....I just want to see a frickin model that looks like a girl...not a skeleton...there are kids in Africa who are starving, and we have models here looking like that volentarily....everyone says that, but comeone someone shove a cupcake in that girls mouth....

Now....I'm done being a complainer....I'm going to camp soon, and I'm trying to brainstorm what to where while trecking around the forest @ 8,000 feet.....

DOWNLOAD: In honor of Snow Patrol tonight...."Set the Fire to the Third Bar" featuring Martha Wrainright....this song is honestly amazing and if you need to be inspired by something...this is it...

xoxo...happy summer while its lasting

Footloose and all that jazzz...

DISCLAIMER: I DONT actually own a pair of these shoes yet, I wish I did and have cried to the heavens above for many hours wishing and hoping that they holiness that is my mom will grant me the happiness of a beautiful pair

Ok so I'm totally in love with sandals. And not run-of-the-mill-only-4-bucks-@-sears sandals, although I have a Havainnas obessession, I mean who doesnt? They're so comfy, and easy and come in seriously a jillion colors, although I am not one to talk since I have one black pair and they just broke, but.......I am planning on getting a new pair, so you can give me credit for that.

Back to the other sandals, I really want a pair of pretty sandals. The kind that look hoppin( I have no idea if that is a relevant word here but whatev) The kind that look hot with skinny jeans, and peeky out under the hems of long hippie summer dresses, and make you look like you are the most stylish person on earth which I am hehe jk I wish.

My friend has been rockin a pair, what is is with me and the weird verbs lol, anyways I am in love with them and found some I love.

The are so chic right now, and fancier then my rubber staples so I think I'm due for an upgrade....

Bernardo 'Medieval Woven' Sandal$98.00

Although it really isnt called this, I title this sandal the "Hoop Sandal" and it will hereby be known as "Hoop Sandal" All in favor of the hoop, say aye....aye

Delman 'Una' Sandal $299.99

Ok, I know this one is pretty pricy, but the first time I saw it, I was like "Wow...I need that...I want it, or those actually" the ties are just spectacular, so laid back and chic like I could wear them with my slouchiest skinny jeans(oxmoron) and huge glasses really relaxed like with these awesome shoes....thats how i role...yeah right, thats how I wish I rolled :))

Bernardo 'Must' Sandal $98.00 So cute, the shell or bead or whatever it is is gorgeous and I love these I would so wear them with a dress or jeans or actually anything.

Now we're getting into totally random land, but thats ok...I like to visit the locals sometimes...who am I kidding I totally live in random land, anyways....Rihanna's new song? Umbrella....do you love it? Hate it? Totally want to be like why is she making that "ela" song at the end of Umbrella? Tell me about it... Its posed to become the new summer anthem...I like it... its catchy and fun to sing, but her video? SCANDALOUS...the whole dipped in silver thing and whip and little booty shorts corset i was like whoa....

From THIS:

Little innocent Barbados girl with a pengence
for belly chains and midrift shirts

:

To THIS: Corset, little leather booty short wearing dipped in silver with hot little booths and umbrella sporting tart....what a difference 2 years can make

Check out the video....on Youtube

Only 1 more school day left...4 finals....a graduation...and then its SUMMER not that I'm keeping count or anything :)

Only 817101893 seconds left......

Bye bye :)

Standing for 4 Hours was DEFINIETELY worth it...

THE KILLERS

So hot I sorta can't handle it...
Ok, so now that I'm back on normal schedule, a.k.a, NO spring break, I have finally recovered from my first standing-in-the-pit-for-5-hours-with-the-strong-odor-of-pot-everywhere concert experience! HOORAY!!!

But I saw The Killers!!! Which was so awesome!! I love them, and Brandon Flowers is such a hottie *swoon*. So my friends and I were really close, like 20 feet, which was amazing. It was extremely loud, but in a good way. And it was really hot, in a not good way. Luckily there will a couple of gorgeous guys that we were sort of smushed against so I wasn't really complaining, :).

The first act was extremely weird, I couldnt even hear what their name was, but they were like out of a bad episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, seriously, one of their song's was called "Hell Diver". I was like, what the heck is this, I want the Killers. When the finished, I was like hooray the Killers, but then....there was a 2nd opening act! The Howling Bells, from Australia, who were actually pretty good, but by that point I was a little grouchy at being stuck standing for already like 2 hours and not seeing the band I came to.

It took another 40 mintues after the Howling Bells came on for the Killers to come out, but it was SO worth it. They played so well, and confetti came from the ceiling, and Brandon Flowers is such an amazing performer. <3>

This is such a good picture for a camera phone, I am seriously impressed.

Pretty purple lights, they lighting was awesome btw.

If the Killers come on tour near where you live I highly recommend trying to get tickets, they rock! :D

-F.A.

My favorites....

CHANEL IMAN

Ok, so I decided to do a post on one of my favorite models of the current time. I first saw her when she was in Teen Vogue, for a little article thingy and I thought she was gorgeous, and I LOVE her name. Chanel Iman? Its like the coolest name ever, her first name is one of the most famous fashion designers ever, and her last name is one of the most famous models ever. I wonder if it was a coincidence, or her parents named her that on purpose.

I think she is so pretty, and I really like all of the shows she's been in. Her look is just really soft but still exoctic which is hard to pull of. and she has really big lips(that might sound weird, but that doesnt matter :) ) and a nice smile, and she looks a lot different then all of the uber-skinny eastern european models that are so copious on the runways. My new favorite.

I love love love these glasses, they remind me of Risky Business(Tom Cruise movie in the 8o's)

If You Don't Have Anything Nice to Say...Come Sit by Me, tagged the whole blogosphere to reveal 7 songs they are listening to right now, and since I dont have anything better to do, and I love my music I have decided to do it.

1. "If You Leave"-Nada Surf. Ok I seriously love this song, it is so happy, and the words are so easy to memorize, because the verses are kind of short and sweet. If you like songs with nice little rhythms and words, you will like this. And yes I know I found it on Music from the OC Volume I, but dont tell anyone, its still cool ;)

2."The Mating Game"-BitterSweet. This song reminds me of James Bonds, I dont know why, it just does, like James Bond/ some really cool couple that doesnt know they're in love. Only I will interpret a song like that, but I love the beat to it, its awesome.

3."Samson"-Regina Spektor. I love all of Regina Spektor's stuff, or at least most of it, so this is no exception. Her voice kind of lulls me to sleep in a good way, and I love the beginning.

"You are my sweetest downfall" Such a amazing lyric <33333

4."Lover, You Don't Have to Love"-Bright Eyes. This has such a great steady beat in the backround, and its just really fun to listen to. Plus Bright Eyes has such a melodic/rough/amazing voice so I love the whole thing. If that made any sense at all.

5."Make This Go on Forever"-Snow Patrol. I will admit I heard this first on Greys Anatomy on the ferry accident episodes, but I love it now so much. The lyrics are really great, especially the end. I am not going to lie that I intenstly lip sync with my hair brush to the very last lyrics. Its all cool. The end is the best.

And I don't know where to look.

My words just break and melt.

Please just save me from this darknesssss.

I could listen to the end of the song forever, and make it go on forever. Get it haha, I'm so clever.

6. "Unlike Me"-Kate Havnevik. I was first drawn to this song when I heard the lyric I love the way you live so intensly, which btw I still think is such an amazing lyric, but now I love the whole thing. Kate Havnevik is is amazing, and her voice is just so great, and this song is intense but in a soothing way if that is possible. :)

7."I'll Follow You Into the Dark"-Death Cab For Cutie. This is my most played song on my Itunes, because it is just amazing. The solo accoustic guitar, with the amazing amazing amazing lyrics, it is such a beautiful song. Its bittersweet though, but I love Death Cab.
