Links to Beat the Monday Blues: June 28

I feel like I'm the only person who hasn't seen Toy Story 3. Hopefully I'll get a chance to catch up with Woody, Buzz, and the rest of the gang soon. In the mean time, I'll have to settle with looking at these cake pops from Bakerella.

The show doesn't premiere until tonight, but I can't help but nervously chuckle every the commercial comes on. Really ABC Family? You're going to name a show about fat camp, Huge? Does that make anyone else kind of uncomfortable? Maybe it's just me.

I'm a self proclaimed "Janeite," with an affection for Earl Grey. This Etsy seller must be my kindred spirit.

Looking for a way to help those affected by Gulf Coast oil spill? Kenneth Cole recently launched a line of custom t-shirts with 100% of the proceeds going to disaster relief. Click over to his Facebook page for more details. The shirts are only $35 and feature slogans like, "I clean up well."

Lucky Magazine reported on the ladies of the Twilight series and their fashion choices for the Eclipse premiere. Who do you think looked the best on the red carpet? My vote goes to Ashley Greene.

These new arrivals from Anthropologie are swoon-worthy.

I'm considering making this post a weekly thing. Readers-what do you think?  Let me know in the comments if you'd like to see more of this series. Happy Monday :)

Don't Judge A Book

I tend to steer away from graphic tees. My sorority provides me with enough t-shirts to outfit a small country, leaving little room in my wardrobe for additions to the collection. However, I might have to make an exception for Out of Print Clothing. This philanthropic brand, recently featured in the July issue of Lucky Magazine, partners with Books for Africa to provide, obviously enough, books for children in Africa. For every shirt sold through the website, one book is donated to Books for Africa in an effort to end the book shortage many communities face throughout the world. Each shirt sold features the cover art of a classic novel making it that much more appealing to English nerds like myself. Check out my favorites below:

Tales of the Jazz Age ($28)

Catcher in the Rye ($28)

I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings ($28)

PS Sorry for the lack of posts lately--Being sick and having a broken computer make it slightly more difficult. Hopefully both of those situations will be remedied soon!
