Sunday Night Shoutouts

Welcome to another edition of Sunday Night Shoutouts, a post in which I gather some of the cool things I've come across on the internet lately to share with ya'll lovely people. Ready?

"If they tell you you're too big for a woman, tell them
you're just too big for your skin.
Tell them
a body just can't hold all this beauty.
Tell them
they only wish they had hills and valleys like the earth...
They will never see the life in your hands and you can never expect them to understand."
-Spoken-word artist Desdamona. Watch the full video here and see her myspace page here

Definately a step in the right direction. Though it's important to remember that we are not in a position to judge cultural practices often seen by Westerners as "oppressive" (i.e. the wearing of the hijab by Muslim women: it's something many women choose to wear!), Female Genital Mutilation is fundamentally dangerous to women's health. Learn more here.

And now for something a bit less heavy and more just pretty: Jon Schmidt's beautiful arrangement/mash-up of Love Story and Viva La Vida!

LOLcats meets Regretsy! My life is complete.

I want to make these. Om nom nom...

And now for something mildly fashion-related? Always been one of my favourite blogs

My plan for this upcoming week includes a six-page essay on feudalism, studying my face off to maintain my A+ in European Women's History, and finding a present for my work's Secret Santa! Sunday night will be the big pay-off: Staff party! Bellinis all around!

Don't forget to follow me on twitter, guys!

Love Always,
Amy

Breathe In

Shrug: H&M (In NYC, whut whut)
Tanktop: GAP $12
Skirt: Nine West, thrifted, $6
Heels: Spring
I must admit that the heels were NOT worn outside. It is October in Canada. 'Nuff said.


My theme today was roses. Rose earings and...


... rose ring both from Accessorize.

How cool is Jane??? She designs shoes for Urban Outfitters! And she's incredibly stylish, obviously. And prettier than me. Ugh, envy. Anyway i would sell my brother for those peep-toe bow heels. I looked for them on the site link she provided but they're not there? Life is against me today, basically. Can't get Jane's bow heels, she is prettier than me, AND i just drowned these sorrows in a very large amount of very expensive chocolate-covered malt balls that were supposed to last me all week. Sigh.

My solution to all of these obviously very terrible problems? Look really awesome tomorrow, ace midterm, feel better!

Love Always,
Amy
