Thought you might enjoy this gorgeous video of Alison Sudol of A Fine Frenzy. It's a behind-the-scenes look at her photo shoot with Angela + Ithyle for the 3rd issue of Rue Magazine, giving us a peak inside her storybook cottage. Lovely loveliness.

My heart was thumping out of my chest the entire movie and it is still echoing days later. Have you watched it yet? I loved every second. Except for the horrific fingernail clipping scenes!

I've always been an admirer of Orla Kiely's 60's aesthetic. For her Spring/Summer 2011 collection, she teamed up with Gia Coppola to make a beautiful film which premiered at London Fashion Week.
Isn't it divine? Makes me fall in love with London all over again!

A cellist finds himself unemployed and returns to his home town with his wife to start fresh. He answers a help-wanted ad for someone to handle "departures", thinking it's a travel agency position. He finds out the job is for a funeral professional who prepares bodies for burial and entry into the next life. His wife and other townspeople frown upon it, but he begins to enjoy and respect the art of "nokanshi," acting as a gentle gatekeeper between life and death, and in doing, learns a profound lesson in living.

I cannot take credit for this perfect collection of Wizard of Oz inspired outfits. Lauren was displeased with the "WOO" and its wardrobe. So she updated their looks as if Dorothy, the Cowardly Lion (who is apparently now a woman), Glenda the Good Witch and the Wicked Witch had to get glammed up for a fabulous party. Didn't she nail it? I just had to share :)
P.S. I just found a treasure trove of Dorothy red slippers!

Last week, Blu Dot did an experiment. They placed 25 of their Real Good chairs around New York, free for the take. Each chair was embedded with a GPS device for tracking. They plan to contact the new chair owners and make a documentary about who grabbed them, where they went, how they get there, and what their new homes look like. I just love this idea!
