Hello everyone!!

Since I’ve given ya’ll glimpses of the people I love back home in Texas, I figured I’d introduce ya’ll to my favorite girl up here in the city!!

So, without further ado, meet my dear friend and Big Apple roommate, CAROLINE THOMPSON!!

Mary Caroline Mitchell Thompson (or Caro to me!) was born in Dallas, Texas, where she lived for a few years until she moved to Santa Barbara, California (Montecito). Caroline is a senior at The University of Arizona where she’s majoring in Interdisciplinary Studies—a special major that mixes 3 areas of study together—she chose Business, Psychology and FASHION. (She’s SUCH a fashionista, too!) She is also a member of Kappa Kappa Gamma (wham bam!) just like me! So it’s really cool to exchange stories about Kappa at our schools!

Caroline and I met in the summer of 2007 doing a Texas tradition—a Debutante Ball!! This particular one, The Tyler Rose Festival, is a longstanding tradition that takes place in Tyler—a little city in East Texas. The Rose Festival is a celebration in which the girls, who are invited from around Texas, wear really elaborate costumes fitting the theme—in our case, the theme was Nature’s Majesty. Many girls were dressed as animals—I was an owl and Caroline was a Pheasant!

Since then, Caroline and I kept in touch and have become extremely good friends! We even went to Hawaii together in 2008 for spring break!! This fall, Caroline needed a getaway from the stresses of school, so she called me up and came down to see me in Waco over Halloween! While she was there, I told her about how I was going to be moving up to New York all by myself and she immediately decided to do the same! (Basically, she applied for a NY internship in the beginning of November and got it RIGHT away!! The girl’s amazing!!) Anyways, Caroline is working as an intern at Vogue this spring in the accessories department! It’s so cool hearing about what she gets to experience there every day! (She’s already been to a photo shoot!)

Obviously, Caro has a GREAT sense of fashion—so, naturally, she loves Juicy too!! Keep checking in on updates of our FABULOUS life up here in NYC!! Between Miss Fashionista and me I can guarantee there will be lots to love about this blog!

Stay Juicy!!
