bucky covington has it figured out

'if money grew on trees, the branches on mine wouldn't have no leaves'

-from 'it's good to be us', bucky covington

SUPER cute song, by the way. but anyway - this is very true, because tonight i blew my budgeted 200kr/week (which just came out of my check TODAY) on white shorts at H&M and a cup of tea. so, expect lots of blogs cause my butt will be doing a lot of hangin' around this next week :)

anyway, remember me talking about the Carrie Underwood-inspired outfit i was going for? i think i've got it. here's the picture i was referring to -


do you ever just see something and think, 'i HAVE to have that'? i don't know what it was about this outfit, maybe the simplicity of it, but i looooved it. so i'm at H&M last week (yes, i buy nearly all my clothes over here at that store. it's cheap and usually has great basic pieces) and i find this black tank top that of COURSE is not on their website, but it looks very similar to carrie's tank top in this video. it's black, and drapes kind of like hers - a little less scandalously, however :) and the back has a really cute hang to it with a keyhole-type gathering. hard to explain, but it's the same idea as hers.

and for the bottoms, instead of wearing the long shorts (love 'em, but i have them in black already and not sure i'd wear them too often) i bought these white shorts, also from H&M. they're simple, rolled-cuff (that is HUGE here this summer, you can't find shorts without them...a little too 8th grade for me, but whatever), and have 3 cute buttons down the pockets.

and of course, the best accessory for this outfit? A TAN.

speaking of carrie underwood, do ya'll think she's too skinny? i look at her and think, 'gosh, she looks great'....she's slim, but she's definitely got muscle tone. but i've heard some people say that she looks too skinny. i don't know. that sentence just made me think of Skinny Cows. love those, too. they're not in Europe.

OH - and if you have access to a Lush store, you seriously need to go and buy some of their products. i have been using my Honey I Washed the Kids soap -

and i LOVE it. the lather is thick and smells soooo good, and your skin really does smell good and feel really soft afterwards. this particular one smells like vanilla and honey and CLEAN.

yes, i think she has gotten too skinny, but I like her new CD which I downloaded the other day from itunes...its still weird that they found her on American Idol...sorry there are no skinny cows there. you should take a picture of yourself in your carrie outfit!
