Tuesday Tunes: Aaron Carter - That's How I Beat Shaq

By
In the year 2000, when I was 9-10, this song replayed constantly on either Disney Channel or Nickelodeon. Probably Nickelodeon since it was used as a song in the commercial for the Hey Arnold movie. That means it was stuck in my head a lot even though I was never into the pop music of the late 90s-early 2000s back then. (Now it's wonderfully nostalgic and I realize I know more lyrics than I let myself believe.)

You're probably asking yourself, "Why are you subjecting me to this piece of nostalgia?" Because I'm going to an Aaron Carter concert on Thursday right here in Athens, Georgia! Jeanie thought a nostalgia bomb would be the best birthday present ever and I agreed. Plus we both love to quote Aaron Carter in the Food Network Celebrity Cook-Off from last year when he complained about how hard it was to cook pasta. Oh Aaron Carter. 


This venue he's performing at is really small so I'm sure I'll get to see him up close. Isn't it always weird seeing famous people in real life? I'm pumped though. 

Happy Tuesday!

haha this post bought back memories! My niece was sooo into Aaron Carter and she even wrote him a fan letter (she was like seven so it was pretty short, but cute)

It's defiantly weird seeing famous people up close, I went to a Lily Allen concert and she is so tiny in real life...they always look taller on t.v!

Enjoy the concert! x

Have a wonderful time. I remember Aaron so well. My sister had the CD and somehow I've ended up with it so it is in my apartment now. What's the song called that goes "aaron oh aaron what are we going to do with you" about tickets to the backstreet boys concert. that song is hilarious.

I COMPLETELY FORGOT ABOUT THIS SONG UNTIL JUST NOW! I love nostalgic things, and I was definitely a Nick kid growing up. I got into Disney Channel later on, though. I admit it...I enjoyed Lizzie McGuire, Hannah Montana, and Wizards of Waverly Place...lol. I was actually never really a fan of Aaron Carter, but I was in love with Nick Carter when I was around 9 or 10.

Botanical Fun

These pictures are from my outing to The State Botanical Garden of Georgia, which just so happens to be conveniently located about 8 minutes from my apartment. There were still a nice amount of flowers blooming so it was really pretty. I decided I needed to get more wears out of my pretty Steal the Game Show dress from Modcloth so I took some inspiration from other bloggers and wore it as a skirt! I actually really liked how this outfit turned out. Plus it was easy to walk around in all day because I wore nice, comfy Keds. dress (worn as a skirt): Modcloth.com blouse, belt, bag: thrifted cardigan: ann taylor loft; thrifted shoes: keds sunglasses: kohls earrings: forever 21 I quite enjoyed my brightly colored nails. They're China Glaze Papaya Punch with an accent nail of Electrify from the Capitol Colours collection. I've been loving having the whole Capitol Colours collection. Especially since it's Hunger Games themed. If there...

Work Outfit: Light Blue Jersey Knit Dress and White Block Heels

By

I'm a big fan of what I call "pajama dresses," which are really just jersey knit skater dresses . They're comfortable enough to sleep in, yet can look 100% put-together if styled nicely. That's exactly what I did with this light blue dress California-based shop Tobi sent me to style. (Someone even asked me why I was dressed so nice at the dog park! I told them I just came from work, of course.) For the debut of my newest pajama dress, I added my silvery beaded Stella and Dot necklace and a pair of white block heel sandals from Forever 21. I actually bought the shoes back in December on sale and had to wait for it to warm up to finally wear them. Happily, they're comfortable enough to walk back and forth to work, which is really all I can ask in a pair of cheap shoes.  daydreaming skater dress : c/o tobi | shoes : forever 21 | necklace: stella & dot | sunglasses: forever 21 Check out more from Tobi:  shorts  |  jewelry  |  casual dresses ...

Outfit: Concert Tee, Black Denim Mini Skirt, Pink Tights, and White Converse

Here I am wearing a concert t-shirt again. At this point I'm not sure I'll ever stop wearing them. Maybe when I'm 70 I won't wear them with bright pink tights and white wedge Converse, but really, who knows? Maybe we'll all be dressing like Zenon : Girl of the 21st Century by then. (I can only hope.) And if I really take a look at this outfit, all I need is a colorful vest and I may as well have come off the space station. They really liked vests in that movie. I guess they don't need sleeves when everything's climate controlled? It is, however, not climate controlled outside in Atlanta. These pictures are from a couple months ago but it still hasn't reliably warmed up here yet. Also, my hair is now completely different since I had it chopped off again into an asymmetrical pixie a couple weeks ago.
