// Hey all you recently-engaged or wedding-planning ladies! You could win $500 toward wedding stationery! My BFF Elle is a mega super talented designer and she's hosting a photo contest. All you gotta do is submit a photo of you and your love before February 24th and you're in the running! -- Also, if you're in the Nashville area and you want to learn how to make your own WordPress blog/site, she's hosting a class at The Skillery on March 16th!
// Good Life Advice From A 6 Year Old Is Even Better When Taken Literally. (This is so cute! The video is hilarious/adorable!)
// Teacher Raped By NYPD Cop Goes Public, Wants Albany To Change Rape Laws. (This story will give you chills. Good for her for standing up for herself and what's right! Rape is never the victim's fault and it is never okay!)
// A high school promoted a Valentine's "game", but the rules of said game were more than sexist. Girls were given one paper heart at the beginning of the day, and if they talked to a boy, they had to give him that paper heart. Boys were encouraged to collect as many as possible before the end of the day, yet each individual girl had only one to give. If you don't think this is screwed up, just read the first hand account. I love that some girls stood up for what they believe.
// Russia has all-female military boarding schools. This is fascinating.
// Colette is donating all proceeds from their Cinnamon pattern to marriage equality today! Perfect excuse to snag it and create something that makes you feel beautiful (all the while supporting a worthwhile cause!) (tip found via Lauren!)

// My JUX got a facelift! I am in love with the new streamlined look. (Are you on Jux? It's been a while since I asked and I need more people to subscribe to :P)
// Betsey Johnson is offering 20% off for President's Day! Now until February 18th!
// Wait Watchers. A Woman Reverses The Gaze. A bold and eye-opening photo project by a fellow Tennessean based on society's reaction to an overweight woman in public.
// I really really love Emily McCombs.
// Speaking of Emily, her article I Know The Line Between Straight and Plus Size is Fictional, But Crossing It Feels Super Real is so insightful and on point. The comments are really great for the most part, too. There's an entire market of women being forgotten about in the apparel industry.
// A big happy HELLO to some new sponsors over on the sidebar: Instasparkle (Instagram accessories you can wear!) -- Influence (a dreamy fashion + lifestyle blog!) -- Tiny Bird Heart (a sweet Scottish gal by the name of Karen!) // PS - Today is the last day to use HOLLA for 10% off sponsorship spots! Check it out!
