April Fools!

I decided to try to change up the layout of blog, so if you haven't noticed thanks to help of Avalonne from the girl from hk, ldn & sf (thank you so much!) and my boyfriend I figured out the HTML to fix my blog up a bit (I know so fancy...) next is figuring out how to put in a background. I'm liking it, there's still a few things to fix up, so I apologize if you have visited or will visit and everything is all over the place! I should be done by the end of the weekend.

Anyway, in my last post I promised to talk about The Chapin Sisters, and now it's time. I was completely blown away by these two (used to be three) blonde bombshells as soon as they walked out on stage. Originally from Brooklyn now living in LA, they both have amazing voices and amazing outfits with hilarious personalities. They ended up singing back up for She & Him during the concert so I got to see them in two outfits, which was wonderful my jaw dropped at their first outfits! (I wish I had pictures from the show!) Anyway, they only have one album out now but one on the way soon, so check them out, look out for them and love them!

The Chapin Sisters were also chosen as to be on the list of 'Beautiful People of 2006", so they've been rockin' their amazing looks for years now!

"The Chapin girls were bred on vinyl, listening to Neil Young and the Beach Boys as toddlers. As children, they sang backup on Tom Chapin records. The middle child, Abigail, admits to stints as a grunge girl, hip-hopper and punk rocker. "It was a rebellion against my family," she admits. The group, however, is definitely a family affair. Jessica's oldest brother, Johnny Craven, is their manager, and Tom Chapin offers them sage advice on making it in the record business. "He has taught us how not to sell your soul to be a rock star," Lily says." -Paper Mag

Today I had my first interview for a summer job, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it works out, and I bought a BEAUTIFUL Trench coat at Zara, I'm excited to show you all. Tomorrow I'm off to the city with my family, pictures to come.

P.S. I fell for the 'Chanel designing a line for Target' joke that has been going around the internet/blogs today... I was so excited for that one or two minutes I believed it :(

I love She & Him

Okay readers! It's finally time to tell you all about seeing She & Him and seeing Zooey in real life! Unfortunately it was raining and I had to travel into New York City with my boyfriend, it wasn't the best day to go in, but it was so worth it! We got there an hour before the doors opened and I some how sneaked my way to the front of the line (I guess being small does pay off sometimes!) I was literally maybe two feet max away from the stage, right smack in the middle! Best spots I could have asked for (I was scared I wouldn't be able to see - I always get stuck behind someone tall). BUT She & Him had asked that no pictures, video or audio be taken at all........I was so upset!

....but don't worry readers, I never disappoint! During the 2nd encore (there was three) I whipped out my camera and said **ck it, it's going to be over soon anyway! I sneaked a handful of pictures just for my wonderful readers.

Their opening act was The Chapin Sisters (more about them soon) and then She & Him came on. They played almost both full records (Volume 1 and Volume 2) and even played an M. Ward song, there was not much talking to the audience it was more song playing but it was fine with me, Zooey sounded even better in person and has such an amazing voice! M. Ward is completely insane on the guitar and is awkward in the best way possible.

Sorry I couldn't get better ones, I'm waiting for some to eventually show up online, theres already some from the night before! If I find any I'll post them too!

Here's my one of two purchases from the concert (I also bought the opening acts album)

Cardigan; Zara

Tshirt; She & Him

Shorts; Thrifted

Tights; Target

Boots; Thrifted

Overall Zooey was more amazing than you could ever imagine, and I'll never forget it!
