Carolyn Braden meeting Awolnation?

Yep...blogged that you needed to keep them in your in-style radar and well, here is why. Aaron Bruno, front man of Awolnation, is truly a talented person. I am blogging about him over and over again because I truly believe something great is going to happen in his music career. The album, Megalithic Symphony, is only $7.99 on iTunes. Buy it and you'll love it like many, many other music lovers. Sail seems to be everyone's favorite song but I personally love every single song on the album. The members of his band are very talented as well. Together, they all have a very bright future.

Gearing up for the Art Show, December 8th!

Here is just a preview of some of the art you will see at the art show on December 8th! These are only sketches and preliminary stages of a few projects. Every grade level will have a different project. Please remember to RSVP no matter if you are coming or not. If you are unsure, RSVP "yes" so your students art will be framed and displayed. If you wish to purchase the framed art, it's $24.95, with some of the proceeds benefiting my art program. This would be a great Christmas present for an art lover in your family. I hope to see many families there. Schaffner students are so talented!

Carolyn Braden says "Keep Awolnation on your in-style music radar "

I'm gearing up for Awolnation on Jay Leno tonight and for their concert at Southgate House. Keep them on your music radar. I believe they are going to be quite successful. Just look at their lead singer, Aaron Bruno. It's been a while since I've had a crush on a singer and he's the one many other girls should fall for too. I think Joey from NKOTB was the only other band crush I had and that was forever ago. I think it's the hair. Or maybe it's his catchy lyrics of "Sail". Just blame it on my ADD baby.

Carolyn Braden's Halloween Costumes: Kurt, Courtney and More!

I had a Halloween party last weekend and my wonderful friends certainly appeased my costume dress code. I really was unsure if anyone would actually dress up but they all did and looked great. My husband, Tommy, and I decided on Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love. We hit up thrift stores for our outfits. I think we did pretty good in matching the picture below of the couple. Tommy played the part well, taking on a very grungy personality to match the grunge style.

Happy Halloween everyone!

Carolyn Braden Loving "Ooh La Liscious" Red Carpet Manicure

I'm still preferring Red Carpet Manicure Gel Polish over CND Shellac. The polish stays perfect forever. The formula just seems like it is more stable. Here is my latest color, Ooh La Liscious.

Carolyn Braden says "Tarina for Paul"

I am a Tarina Tarantino super fan so when I saw she partnered up with Paul Mitchell, I was so happy. Her line consists of product gift sets for different hair types and a beautiful flat iron and hair dryer. What a great holiday gift idea for the hair guru in your life!


Picture taken from my latest Vogue! I am loving the November issue. I foresee lots of romantic floral connections in the upcoming spring fashion.
