SHHHHHHH

And the count down begins!

I wasn't allowed to share my news with you last week because the whole audition and shoot were under wraps but tomorrow, the new Miley Cyrus video for "Who Owns My Heart" debuts and I'm dancing in it! The shoot took place last Monday at the Meadowbrook mansion outside of Detroit and I was lucky enough to be cast as a dancer for the huge club scene.

Check back tomorrow and I'll make sure to post the link

love to my killer agent tony and all of the rad dancers xx

THE BEARON IN BROOKLYN

Please forgive me for still posting photos from New York. I might physically be back in Michigan, but mentally I'm still all over the place (I'm getting better... I swear!). I can't believe I've already completed my internship and moved out of my NY apartment! So as an ode to the blissful days of summer in the city, here as some photos from my afternoon in Williamsburg, Brooklyn with my friend Ari.

We started our day at the taco cart...

went thrifting at Beacon's Closet

and ended up here...

Sick view, right??

this is my FAVORITE bag right now... from Boutique Nadine in Florence

And these are my new (well... thrifted...) Joan&David's that I found a

Beacon's. I LOVE them... they are perfectly masculine but in my itty bitty

size. The severe point makes me want to dance around in them all day and

I can't wait for the weather to get a little cooler so I can wear them with

over the knee socks around campus!

nude blouse (my nana's), H&M Paris denim shorts, Joan&David men's shoes, glasses: forever 21, belt: vintage, Florence, bag: vintage, Florence, jewelry: bangles from Giles & Bros, ribbons from Rivane Neuenschwander's exhibit, and THE BEARON love lock pendant

Dark Chocolate Raspberry Cupcakes

dark chocolate cupcakes with fresh raspberries

Something about being home has triggered my domestic nerve. Maybe it was the pure filth that was my New York apartment... or the fact that I never had time to cook, but now that I'm home, I just can't stop. Cupcakes, frostings, macaroons, and a pot of homemade mac and cheese later, I'm blaming my inspiration on the amazing, fresh ingredients that constantly turn up in my parents' refrigerator. This morning my mom's friend dropped off two dozen plums and three bags of grapes. WHO EATS 24 PLUMS???

My mom's response? "I think Ina makes a plum tart". And there we are.

Back to the Barefoot Contessa we go...

PS I attempted to make my own butter-cream frosting.

(I told you... really inspired).

HOWEVER Light salted butter is not the same as butter.

Don't be fooled.

It's only healthier because your frosting is ruined.

No frosting = Healthier. Lame.

Thanks Pillsbury Dough Boy for saving the day.

Back Back Back Back Again

So... It's been a while to say the least. Since December I've lived in Italy, traveled to Spain, Portugal, France, and Switzerland, and worked for 3 months in New York City. In the last 12 months, I have moved 8 times. It's been a whirlwind but I wouldn't trade my experiences for anything. The people I met, the places I saw, and the sheer excitement of being constantly on the move made me love life even more (who knew it was possible??). As some might say, my sparkle is back! I'm refreshed, empowered, and ready to take on the world... whether that's one t-shirt at a time... or one cupcake.

I'm looking forward to sharing my pictures and stories with you. As I begin my final year of college, I have no idea what's next. No matter how many lists I make (yup. I made a list of possible careers. yikes.) I keep reminding myself that the best opportunities come when you least expect it. There's no use worrying about it, the time will come. And so with that, I'll focus on what matters most. Sharing my passion, finding new hobbies, and making the most of it... whether that's in class, on the runway, in the kitchen, or on a t-shirt.

peace. love.

Pride 2010

Last weekend I joined some great friends to march with PFLAG at New York City Pride 2010. It was an awesome experience and so much fun to see the streets of New York packed with fellow supporters and friends of the gay community. We marched for hours behind the Macy's balloons, took loads of photos, and of course,

I rewarded my day in the sun with a ninja turtles popsicle.

(this was my favorite sign along the parade route)

there's just something about a man in a suit...

"I mean, would Fred Astaire

have looked as cool

dancing in cargo shorts?"

On Top of the World!

Hey guys, Caroline here.

Last week I had the great fortune to visit Interlaken, Switzerland

and spend my weekend tromping through the alps.

My friends Katie and Ryan joined me for a visit to Jungfrau,

also know as The Top of Europe,

one of the highest points of the alps at 11,340 feet.

Considering that my childhood dream was the climb Everest, this was

a surreal experience, and I loved every minute of it!

Plus we were able to take a couple shot of the Peace and Love shirt

at the top of Jungfrau. How cool is that!?

THE BEARON is making its way around the world.

Thank you to everyone who packs their shirt

as the perfect travel companion to their next big adventure.

Keep sending photos- We love to see them

and

Keep exploring!
