Marriage
I know it’s cheap, but everyone has got to stop shopping at Wal-Mart…
“Dobbins’s [president and CEO of Carolina Mills, a 75-year-old North Carolina company that supplies thread, yarn, and textile finishing to apparel makers—half of which supply Wal-Mart] customers have begun to face imported clothing sold so cheaply to Wal-Mart that they could not compete even if they paid their workers nothing.
“People ask, ‘How can it be bad for things to come into the U.S. cheaply? How can it be bad to have a bargain at Wal-Mart?’ Sure, it’s held inflation down, and it’s great to have bargains,” says Dobbins. “But you can’t buy anything if you’re not employed. We are shopping ourselves out of jobs.”

This is why I love Annals of Online Dating:
+6 for calling a girl in your photo — who maybe you used to date? or at least were friends with? — a “bitch” who is “dead to me” on an internet dating site. I am sure all of the ladies will flock to such a nice young man, in the hopes that one day they can be the bitch he wishes were dead….
icecreamforall asked: I wish I could submit photos of the GORGEOUS circular lace/ruffled turquoise dress I bought here in December. It's a staple in my wardrobe now and I rack up at least one compliment every time I wear it.
Oh totally email us a photo and we’ll put it up! auh2oshop@gmail.com
An amazing belt we found thrifting! And my attempt to show it off with a cropped top but feeling like maybe its too cold outside for this.

DIY YELLOW OMBRE!
After my blue ombre post, I knew I needed to get down a good DIY ombre mani, so that all my readers can try it out for themselves. It’s SUPER simple! Grab two colors, I chose ‘Cab Cabinda Angola’ by USLU AIRLINES & ‘Minted’ by Revlon.
First, add one full base coat, choose the lighter color of the two. (I painted all of my nails with the yellow polish.) Secondly, paint half the bottom nails with the darker color. (I then painted with the green, halfway over the yellow). Next, paint the yellow (base color) again, this time on the top half of all nails, covering half of the green. Paint two coats of the third step, making the top of the nail a bit thicker/more opaque. Lastly, cover with top coat!!
VOILA! There you have yourself a spring DIY OMBRE #FRESHMANI! Try it out with these colors…the yellow polish by Uslu Airlines is my absolute favorite and only sold on www.femininrascal.com! (Fun Fact: FemininRascal.com delivers in NYC on the SAME DAY of your purchase!! How badass…)
Yo, so here’s the thing, in case you’re extra naive and thought there was some way that both sides of the Trayvon Martin discussion were decent people with a difference of opinion: this exists. Whenever you think racism is on the wane, or that people who are angered by racism are oversensitive, or that my language is too strong, remember: these fucks are celebrating the cold-blooded murder of a kid.
So amazing
