oh gosh, lets be glambitious YUM potato salad

from the title you can OBVIOUSLYYY guess what this post is about...right???
not so much

so (I know right! IT'S A VERY COMMON WORD) the other day (once I was talking to this girl and she was going on about this thing that happened to her the OTHER day, and I was like oh yeah, uhh and nodding my head intelligently, and then I found out that by the OTHER day she meant 8 WEEKS ago....but I mean literally the other day, as in 2 days ago) anyway...the other day I was at the shops and I walked past the shoe shop...and there was the coolest pair of Doc Martens EVER, I stopped in my tracks and screamed EH MAH GOSH (hence the title...very Massie Block in case you didn't know) and started jumping up and down...HERE THEY ARE


they are hello kitty inspired SQUEAL

I want them sooooo baaaad (SILENCE OF THE LAMBS...geddit)
but they were like $300, which I guess is the normal price of Docs even though I never had some...
But then my little brain kicked in and said 'now Caroline, do you REALLY want these shoes, I mean aren't the point of (REALLY EXPENSIVE) shoes to be able to go with everything you wear?'

I thought that was quite smart of my brain to think that, and though the Hello Kitty Docs are black, they are also pink and have bows (though I LOVEEE both of those things) and that made me think...'hmmm these are not the ONLY Docs out there...'
SO I WENT SURFING HURRAH not literally obviously...this generations surfing der and found some other lovely examples that I might consider splurging on...(and if you're really confused by now I can understand, see if two weeks after I buy these Docs I go 'EW I HATE pink, I HATE bows...(or even) I HATE hello kitty'...then I'm stuffed...so I'm going to expaaaaaand my horizons before I make a massive investment (wow I actually just said I was going to buy a pair of Docs EH MAH GAWD!!!) (yes, yes Miss Block we know) HURRAH

so here are the results of my searches...

Pros: Their a really pretty cotton candy pink...and they look kind of shiny, I also like the contrast of the chocolate coloured thread against the lighter shoe colour
Cons: What if I get sick of pink :(


Pros: These are kind of a twist on the classic black Doc...they're like a shiny, hazy gray mist kind of colour
Cons: Can the shine scratch off??


Pros: They are black with white flowers...and the toe is POINTY
Cons: The toe is pointy...will it scuff easier???


Pros: HELLO KITTY!!! CARTOONS!!! RAINBOW COLOURS!!!!
Cons: um...could they be too bright??


Pros: I LOVE the colour, and they look like buttery soft red leather...
Cons:ehhh I'm not sureee

hmmmm really tired now...WHO SHALL PROVAIL, WHO SHALL BE THE WINNERRRR (think Clash of the Titans)

Which one did you like best? Should I just go for a classic black? (BUT IT'S SO CLICHEEE)
Maybe this time (GLEE) I can save a tonne of money for 3 years or so and get TWO pairs...what to do, what to doooooooo
If I do get two, I can get a classic pair, and a CRAZY pair...me likey :)

well this was a very long post...close your eyes for a moment...BREATHE

a sock in the book

I can't begin to fathom how incredibly AWESOME the first part of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows was...it was what Harry Potter should be...SPECTACULAR!!! See the thing I love about HP movies is that it's not entirely serious and morbid, but they include humour (mostly thanks to Rupert Grint) I also found myself loving a few of the things that they were wearing in the movie, especially the Deathly Hallows pendant from Mr.Lovegood. So I searched the lovely Etsy store and found a really cool replacement for it...though it doesn't do the cool twist thing that the pendant does in the movie...

(from ccppolly)
how cool is it??? I want it sooo bad... :D so I might as well post a couple of the things I want for Christmas that I found on the lovely etsy... :)


the unicorn ring is from kimarijewelry (I love her stuff) and the heart (WHICH IS TITANIC INSPIRED OMG) is from wildemoon...

anyway while I was watching Harry Potter I was thinking about how much the movies have changed throughout time...I mean the first ever Harry Potter movie came out on video tape (the horror) and now we have the choice of watching it in 3D!!! Kind of AMAZING, so I'm going to post a few pictures of HARRY POTTER THROUGH THE AAAGES (dun dun duuun)















sooo lovely...makes me want to cry OH THE MEMORIES
anywhoo, I hope you have all enjoyed watching HP7 aswell :)

btw: for great Christmas presents go on etsy and if your budget is tight (like mineee) click on the Lowest Price button! Happy Saturday!!!

sandy horses wearing lace

I'm feeling very hazy lazy kinda crazy....anyone else feel that way? No? HANDS UP?...sad
I went strawberry picking today...which is a shame really because I can't look at another strawberry ever again (hahhah are you kidding me?)
But anyway, being out in the field all day (for about 20 minutes) gave me a chance to reflect on life and Plato-ish things alike...like for example, don't pick strawberries on the same lane someone else is picking because you will take all the good berries and leave them with NOTHING (this thought started off philosophically and then it started to go gibberish, as do so many other things)
moving on

So recently I have found a really big liking for summer-sand-dessert-sun drenched type photos....they be so pretty
I don't know why this is, maybe because I like the idea of sitting on a sandy slope in a lacy white dress with the sun setting in the far distance...and white horses galloping joyfully (really? how low I have sunk (hahahahahah anyone else get the pun?)) mmmm that kind of romantic thinking calms me....

PICTURES!!!!!ITALICS!!!!ITALIC PICTURES!!(ha I wish)







i think they all feel kind of drowsy, Sunday afternoon haze type thing....
except for the black and white one, where I was trying to portray a 50's beachy-I-know-what-you-did-last-summer-stalker vibe...I hope that came CLEARLY across
I hope you all have a spledifurous weekend ^_^

what are you REALLY burning

So I just quickly wanted to post this letter that I just finished and sent to Healtheries Australia...and it is as follows


ironic really

Dear Healtheries
I have enjoyed snacking on your products for many years, your products have been a part of many picnics, family outings and to quench our hunger in between meals, they also made a great treat to share at lunch time...but the taste of them fell sour in my mouth when a friend opened my eyes to the horrible secret behind those crunchy snacks...palm oil. After researching palm oil for a little bit I was shocked to find what it actually is, and the consequences it leaves behind. For in fact palm oil kills millions, upon billions of forests and wildlife every year, including orangutans, Orangutans are already a VERY endangered creature and the fact that you exploit them for food and for taste is beyond humane.
They are taken out of their natural environment, as a matter of fact the natural environment is taken out of them, they are killed, and so are the trees which have been growing around them for millions of years, feeding their ancestors, themselves and their children.
The fact that you include an ingredient with so many fatal consequences attributed to it is atrocious. What's even more horrific is that you advertise the product that the ingredient is in, as a HAPPY and HEALTHY one, let me tell you dear Healtheries killing orangutans for the pleasure of what goes in our stomachs is sickening, which I don't makes a very good marketing slogan, as it is an oxymoron.
Moreover the fact that this product is directed at children is horrible. Giving children something to eat under the pretence that it is 'healthy' and good for you, is very misleading, teaching our children a horrible lesson, you are telling them that it is ok to include said ingredient (palm oil) into our daily foods, that you decorate so inappropriately with smiling children and happy orange colours (which ironically is also the colour of an orangutan)
I would like to share with you this brief snapshot of what palm oil really does, I believe not following this link would be, on your behalf, extremely petulant and cowardly, please enjoy,
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RljdGj547GM

Now that we viewed this interesting video I would like to leave you with this final thought.
In our ever changing community one voice is not enough, a major company which influences so many households and which people so casually toss into their shopping trolleys would be enough. If you, Healtheries, find the courage to say NO to this slaughter (the killing of orangutans and rainforest) then more people would listen. As you can see in one of the comments of the video 'if we can get the government to ban palm oil...that is the only way to save the orangutans'....that is the ONLY WAY to save the orangutans...
Please dear Healtheries think about my email, before you hit delete think about what message you are casting aside. It is wrong to violate the safety and lives of animals, endangered animals. If you take Palm Oil off your ingredients list forever then you will make a real difference.

I am very happy with this email, and I am really looking forward to their reaction :)
These people use palm oil in their products which is VERY BAD (thus the email)
I am about to keel over form tired-ness from writing that email. I will post the reply as soon as it comes

an orangutan :)
