#FridayFinds: Angelina's Dress Tops the Charts!

Angelina Jolie got married on the 20th and her dress absolutely blew me away. Yes, of course she had a designer dress. Versace personally made this gorgeous number for her however, it wasn't the designer label that made it so special. She adorned her seemingly traditional wedding dress with the doodles of her 6 children in Crayola-colored embroidery. This is my favorite wedding personalization I've seen in a while and she pulled it off so effortlessly. I'm now wondering if this colorful embellishment is going to be popping up in more weddings around the country. I'm definitely a fan, keep it coming!

I'm absolutely loving Angelina's wedding dress choice. What do you all think of it?

Let's Talk About This Internet Scandal

So let's talk about this internet scandal shall we? More than 100 female celebrities have had their personal photographs leaked onto the internet. It's being called one of the largest internet hacks of all time with victims including Jennifer Lawrence, Kirsten Dunst and Kate Upton. So my question is simply:

When is this going to stop?

To begin, these private photos being published around the web is not just a scandal. It's a crime.
However, what truly rattled me about this internet breach is the fact that the links to these private photos are coming up on my Facebook timeline! With online magazines and blogs like Perez Hilton reporting the story with added links, and even uncensored images, the public has had the ability to further share these illegal images and further share in the crime. With people sharing these images it only further perpetuates the surrounding culture of excusable sexual harassment.

Seeking out these photos, and additionally sharing, these links only continues the abuse and victimization of these women and more in the future. Report these links and spread the word. Don't actively seek out these photos just to see what they look like. To take it down to the simplest level: What would you do if these photos were of you? We cannot casually share images like this on websites, magazines and our Facebook profiles and expect this harassment to disappear in the future. Efforts to condemn and stop the spread of crimes like these make a difference.

I hope that all of the women who have been victimized during this attack are appropriately supported by friends, family, fans and the authorities and I sincerely hope that more people take a stand against this inappropriate and inexcusable behavior.

What do you think of this "internet scandal"?

Just a Little Hump Day Inspo!

Just a little inspiration for this hump day! 

I can't believe that with only my fourth day of classes I am this swamped. I mean, absolutely swamped. I thrive off the energy but (whoo!) they weren't lying when they said Junior year was the busiest! I promise once these initial hectic weeks begin to die down I'll have thoughtful blog posts back up and running! Until then, enjoy this hump day and may the rest of your week be solidly downhill from here!

Time to take down this to-do list and punch today in the face!

Emily's August Faves!

Well another month has flown by and I'm back at it again letting you know my all-time faves from August! I headed to Memphis right in the first week so all of these go-to's are coming to you straight from my Memphis day to day! Let's kick it off!

Hustle Print // I ordered this 8x10 print from an Etsy store {here} as a hint of art and inspiration above my desk. I also ordered a gold foil elephant print and an ink blot print. Can't wait to show you all photos soon!

Stationary // I'm a letter addict and Target stationary is only fueling the fire. Right now they have tons of adorable graphic stationary for only a few dollars. Grab some packs and start your collection. Never underestimate the power of a letter!

Kate Spade Agenda // I honestly have no idea how I would function without this thing by my side. I've only had three classes so far and the whole calendar of September is already covered. Yikes! This one's going to be a go-to for the long haul! If you haven't yet gotten your agenda for this school year I would definitely recommend the Kate Spade. I wrote a post about it {here} if you'd like to read more!

Fossil Wristlet // I finally had to retire my Lilly Pulitzer wristlet that had roughed it through both freshman and sophomore year. (May it rest in peace). I was on the lookout for a carry-all that I could drag from class, to the gym and most importantly, the cafeteria. When I saw this Fossil wristlet on sale I took the plunge. I love the simple style and it holds all of my essentials!

Nautilus Pendant // I got this pendant at the Kappa Delta National Convention this spring and I hadn't actually taken it out of it's box until this fall! With Rush in full swing I've been sporting this necklace under button downs and over tshirts. I love this little reminder of my organization! AOT to any sisters out there!

Maybelline Vivid Lipstick // Okay. This brand is my all-time favorite lipstick. The color is so vibrant and it easily stains your lips for all-day and all-night wear. My favorite shade is this neon red, Vibrant Mandarin. It's always thrown in my Fossil Wristlet. Grab these lipsticks on your grocery run and you'll be glad that you did!

        Did any of my items make your August Favorites? What are you digging right now?!

Happy Labor Day!

Happy Labor Day everybody! Say goodbye to white shoes and hello to cooler days! I'm taking this day to relax, catch up on sleep and a little bit of Netflix! It's a little bittersweet with summer coming to a close but I don't think I've ever been so excited for a new school year. Fall's coming full speed ahead and I am so ready. Hope you all are having a labor day just as relaxing!

What are your plans for this Monday off?
