The September Issue
I can't wait to see The September Issue, the documentary about Vogue editor Anna Wintour. She's known for being tough as nails and cold as ice. It will be fascinating to learn more about her daily life.

Home Inspiration: Books as Art
Designer Michelle Adams has such a bright and pretty apartment. Wouldn't you love to spend an afternoon poking around her bookshelves? Books can be great decor pieces in themselves--especially when the covers face outward (like the fabulous John Currin painting on the book Painting People).
P.S. Remember this?

Wedding makeup
This Friday, I'm excited to have my wedding makeup trial at Makeup Forever. After looking through wedding blogs for inspiration, I've narrowed it down to two favorite looks: soft mauve (above) vs. pale skin and red lipstick (below). Do you prefer one over the other? xo
P.S. Do you think you'll cry at your wedding?

Popping bubbles
Richard Heeks takes photos of soap bubbles. Apparently they don't pop, but instead rip and tear. How violent! But still so beautiful.

The Lost Tribes of New York City
Urban anthropologists Carolyn and Andy London animated street objects of New York using the voices of New Yorkers they had interviewed. Absolute genius.
(Even if you don't normally watch videos online, you should watch this.)

The Ugly Truth
Not sure what's happening to me (I swear I love documentaries!) but I'm suddenly dying to see every romantic comedy this summer. The Ugly Truth, with Katherine Heigl and Gerard Butler, looks hilarious. See the trailer here.
Stella McCartney
I'm loving Stella McCartney's resort 2010 collection. Not only do the clothes have wonderfully quirky shapes, but I love the photo shoot's balloons and bubbles! See more here.

A little love note.
Yesterday was exactly two months until our wedding (August 29th). I can't believe that in eight short weeks, Alex will be my husband. When I got home from my week-long trip yesterday afternoon, Alex had left me a bunch of yellow flowers, along with cute notes on the bed, coffee table and hung from deer antlers. It made me swoon.
Audrey Hepburn once said, "If I get married, I want to be very married."
Alex, I can't wait to very-marry you.

Birth announcement
How cute is this flip book birth announcement? (Also, the name Otto is great.)
