			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Welp, I&#8217;m back! It looks like the internet didn&#8217;t explode and my vacation went totally well, which was awesome. </p>
<p>A better post will come tomorrow or the next day, with actual photos of my finds and adventures, but since I was in Central Oregon I must say that I&#8217;ve learned quite a bit about fashion. You might say I&#8217;ve learned <i>everything I&#8217;ll ever need to know.</i></p>
<p>So, here are the top 5 things I didn&#8217;t know about fashion before I went to Central Oregon.</p>
<p>1. Turquoise matches everything.<br />
2. Ten gallon hats are for wimps! Go&#8217;fer the 20 gallon.<br />
3. Dreamcatchers are the new must-have for Summer AND Fall AND Winter 2009!<br />
4. <a href="http://www.shopmyrtlewood.com/c-98-earrings.aspx" target="_blanK">Myrtlewood earrings</a>* will bring some &#8220;jazz&#8221; to any hum-drum outfit.<br />
5. Nothing says, &#8220;I&#8217;m totally not a tourist!&#8221; like a hot-pink shirt with a glittery unicorn on it.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m <i>still</i> devastated the unicorn shirt didn&#8217;t come in my size.</p>
<p><i>*WHY is it always Myrtlewood? Does nobody love oak or pine jewelry?!</i></p>

<i>Or</i> Things I Am Adoring This Week:</p>
<p><img src="http://lemonlove.forgedpixels.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/liptint.jpg"><br />
<i>CO Bigelow&#8217;s Mentha Lip Tint  $7.50</i></p>
<p><a href="http://www.bigelowchemists.com/product_info.php/products_id/4886" target="_blank">This lip tint comes in many light shades of red and pink and also has 2% peppermint!</a><br />
 For those of us who A) love peppermint, and B) have issues with metal mouth (I blame the retainer that the dentist has left in my mouth for 6 years now) this product is a lifesaver! I&#8217;ve never understood the point of using lip gloss before, but when I wear this I feel shiny and delicious and lovely. </p>
<p><img src="http://lemonlove.forgedpixels.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/ipod.jpg"><br />
<i>My iPod / music device.</i></p>
<p>I rediscover my iPod every time when the weather decides to be nice enough to walk outside. Whether I&#8217;m walking to the bus stop or simply enjoying the (chance) moments of spring sunshine, my iPod has been glued to my hip this week, even more so than usual!<br />
Suggested tunes for spring jamming:<br />
<b><a href="http://www.last.fm/music/Franz+Ferdinand" target="_blank">Tonight: Franz Ferdinand</b>. by Franz Ferdinand (at last.fm)</a><br />
My favourite song: &#8220;Bite Hard&#8221;<br />
<b><a href="http://www.last.fm/music/The+Ting+Tings" target="_blank">We Started Nothing.</b> by The Ting Tings (at last.fm)</a><br />
My favourite song: &#8220;That&#8217;s Not My Name / We Walk / Great DJ&#8221; (I can&#8217;t decide!)<br />
<b><a href="http://www.last.fm/music/Imogen+Heap" target="_blank">Any songs.</b> by Imogen Heap (at last.fm)</a> I can&#8217;t tell you what my favourite song is because I love all of them. Equally. Her music is wonderful and perfect for melancholy gray, or beautiful sunshine.</p>
<p><img src="http://lemonlove.forgedpixels.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/rosering.jpg" target="_blank"><br />
<i>Rose Ring. From $6-$20, depending on where you go</i><br />
<a href="http://www.etsy.com/search_results.php?search_query=rose+ring&#038;search_type=tag_title&#038;order=&#038;min=&#038;max=&#038;page=2" target="_blank">(search results on etsy)</a></p>
<p>I have been wanting to buy myself a plastic rose ring for a coon&#8217;s age* and every few months I revisit the search results page on etsy.com to see if one has been made that I <i>need</i>. Someday I&#8217;ll actually buy one, (You know&#8230; the ONE I have envisioned in my miiind!) but until then I&#8217;ll just think about all of the outfits I could wear it with, and how appropriate it is for life right now. Hopeful, but still tiny.</p>
<p><i>*A friend of mine taught me that phrase, and then explained that it meant &#8220;a really really really really long time&#8221;. She actually uses it in day to day conversation! Am attempting to integrate it into my vocabulary, stat!</i></p>
<p><img src="http://lemonlove.forgedpixels.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/oregonpin.jpg"><br />
<i>Heart in Oregon pin.  $3</i></p>
<p><a href="http://www.heartinoregon.com/" target="_blank">Guess where I live. Guess! GUESS.</a><br />
I love this ad-campaign, and fully endorse it. I&#8217;m not sure if the company has started making hearts for other states yet, but I really thing this is a sweet way to show your patriotism/that you care about our local geography. And also that you embrace good design. (Which really, should be on everyone&#8217;s list.)<br />
Anyway, I bought one of these pins a few weeks ago, and have been proudly wearing it on my jacket ever since!</p>
<p><a href="http://lemonlove.forgedpixels.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/jjump.jpg"><img src="http://lemonlove.forgedpixels.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/jjump.jpg" width="200"></a></p>
<p><a href="http://community.livejournal.com/ru_glamour/2891914.html?style=mine#cutid1" target="_blank">I am loving this photo shoot:<br />
&#8220;The Right Stuff&#8221; photographed by Arthur Elgort.</a><br />
How awesome are these pictures? Pairing high fashion with astronauts needs to happen more often, I think.</p>
<p><img src="http://lemonlove.forgedpixels.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/lotion.jpg"><br />
<i>Lubriderm SPF 15 Daily UV protection lotion $10</i></p>
<p>I know, I know, I could talk about the change in the weather until your eyes bleed, but I tend to forget while my world is bathed in gloomy gray that there&#8217;s this Thing. Called <i>The Sun</i>. That you should be aware of. It began to peek out this month and I ran outside for a few minutes to play frisbee with my family (Why yes, we <i>are</i> so Leave It To Beaver!) and this happened:<br />
</center><br />
<b>Me:</b> &#8220;Ahhhhhh! Sunshine!&#8221;<br />
<b>My body:</b> &#8220;Let&#8217;s work up a sweat, while running around with a frisbee!&#8221;<br />
<b>Me:</b> &#8220;Okay!&#8221;<br />
<b>My skin:</b> &#8220;Yaknow, we don&#8217;t think this is a good idea&#8230;&#8221;<br />
<b>My body:</b> &#8220;<i>Man</i>, it really is freaking hot out here, in the sunshine, having a blast. Let&#8217;s take off this jacket, sweatshirt and long-sleeved shirt!&#8221;<br />
<b>Me:</b> &#8220;Okay!&#8221;<br />
<b>My skin:</b> &#8220;We&#8217;re not sure&#8230; we&#8217;ve been living in the caves for these past five years and&#8230;&#8221;<br />
<b>Me:</b> &#8220;Nah, don&#8217;t be a wuss, it feels nice!&#8221;<br />
<b>My skin:</b> &#8220;Y-yeah! We guess you&#8217;re right! We LIKE the sun! We LOVE the&#8211;AUGGGHGGHHH!&#8221;<br />
<b>Me:</b> &#8220;Dude, wtf?&#8221;<br />
<b>My skin:</b> &#8220;IT BURRRNS USSSSSSS&#8221;<br />
<b>Me:</b> &#8220;Five. Freaking. Minutes.&#8221;<br />
<b>My skin:</b> &#8220;WEEEE ARE SENNNNSITIVE. SHUT UP.&#8221;</p>
<p><center><br />
So here I go, piling on my trusty daily SPF. I guess I&#8217;m lucky enough that I can slather on a light lotion every morning and not suffer heinous consequences of the acne variety, but I&#8217;d really suggest that everyone try it. My skin is much closer to its happier, cursing-under-its-breath-self, (&#8220;It does not care if we be burned. It does not care if we should be covered in itchy bumpses!) and I am finally preserving my lily-white skin so that when I am on a busy street and there&#8217;s a disaster and George Clooney yells, &#8220;QUICK! IS ANYONE PALER THAN THIS PIECE OF PRINTER PAPER?!&#8221; I&#8217;ll be able to promptly scoot myself to the forefront and probably save a kitten&#8217;s life or something.</p>
<p><img src="http://lemonlove.forgedpixels.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/bunnies.jpg"><br />
<i>Chocolate Bunnies.</i></p>
<p>Because it&#8217;s that time of year, I find myself with access to what I would like to call &#8220;my own personal brand of kryptonite&#8221;.<br />
I know what you&#8217;re thinking. You&#8217;re thinking, &#8220;This Brittney, she is so refined. She obviously is referring to the <a href="http://www.godiva.com/catalog/collections.aspx?id=23" target="_blank">Godiva Easter Eggs</a> or even the delicious <a href="http://www.sugarstand.com/wt/wt0002-ferro-rocher-bunny.htm" target="_blank">Ferro Rocher Easter bunny candies</a>.&#8221;</p>
<p>But no.</p>
<p>I am, of course, referring to&#8230;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.godiva.com/catalog/collections.aspx?id=23" target="_blank">The bunny-shaped chocolate dipped marshmallow.</a><br />
You will see, if you click the link above, that you can, ahem, <i>acquire</i> a package of eight for the low, low price of $3.</p>
<p>And you can send them to me. Remember? I live in Oregon!</p>
