The Royal Wedding Special Features : the dress

this dress, created by Sarah Burton of Alexander McQueen, took my breath away.  every aspect was perfect. the lace.. the "bustle," the train, the neckline.. every aspect worked so well together.  ..it could not have been more perfect.  When interviewed by NewYorkMagazine, Sarah Burton had this to say,  "Alexander McQueen's designs are all about bringing contrasts together to create startling and beautiful clothes and I hope that by marrying traditional fabrics and lacework, with a modern structure and design we have created a beautiful dress for Catherine on her wedding day."   well sarah.. it worked! :)

Derek Henderson : New Zealand Memories

i first spotted this Derek Henderson video over at the ANTHROPOLOGIST.  the description from the anthropologist is so beautifully written that i want to share it with you here.  please dont hesitate to take a few moments & enjoy this beautiful look into nature..

"As a child, there is something fabled about your family's stories of their youth. For photographer Derek Henderson, those epic tales always took place along the banks of the Waikato River in central New Zealand. In this short, serene film, Henderson physically and figuratively dives into the same waters his mother swam decades ago.

_One trip along this remote riverside, and we, like children, are struck with awe."

happy weekend! take advantage of the beauty of the nature around you..
