So In Love With Vera Wang

source

No, its not in the cards for me at the moment, but I can't help but go nuts over Vera Wang's bridal collections.

There's always something that I love, and there's always more than one that I want to buy. Everything is just so chic and beautiful, delicate and playful; she's got the wedding gown down to a tee.

I'm not gonna lie kiddies, I wish I was getting married right now solely to I could get a Vera Wang gown; that's terrible isn't it? Ha! Oh well, I guess that's why its not happening for me right now. Priorities!

If I could, I would totally buy one and wear it everyday at home. You know, just drinking coffee in my Vera Wang super beautiful, tulle and organza gown.

Le sigh.

A Breath of Fresh Air



source
I can't get over Vogue's Happily Ever After spread featuring Anne Hathaway! Just ... wow!
Everything about this spread is truly stunning, I haven't been this excited over a Vogue spread in the longest time.

Mario Testino has somehow managed to outdo himself. I don't know how this man does it but his photographs just keep getting amazing. I still don't know who was behind the styling but it was done perfectly. The gowns, the sets, the jewelry--sweet Jesus, the jewelry!--accessories, the hair and makeup it was all outstanding! Every detail in every shot was set perfectly, I loved everything.

Of course, Hathaway's interview was the cherry on top. She is such a level headed young woman, I love that about her. She talks about her fears, her plans and how she's changed and matured with her recent experiences, both romantically and on her own. It's so refreshing to see a young star talk about her life without putting up a facade, without pretending the only thing she worries about is getting to yoga class on time. Here, Hathaway lets us in on how much her relationships affect her and how she's trying to overcome what, not long ago, once intimidated her.
"When I begin a relationship, there’s that pressure to be the most, to be more comfortable and open than anyone else. When you finally realize that you can just be your own scared, fucked-up self and that you can still be sexy without trying to be, it’s such a great relief. When uncondensed you is enough.
There really is nothing better than having a real, no bullshit conversation. This is exactly what this interview is, its a day spent with Hathaway talking about life, dreams, fashion and boys. She's one truly admiring chick.

Please pick up a copy of November's Vogue to catch all the photos in their spreadtastic glory and catch up with Hathaway in Adam Green's interview. (Okay if you don't have time you can do so online at the fabulous Vogue.com, but it won't be the same!)
