I know this has been around the blog-o-sphere, but I just can not stop staring.

Anthropologie has launched it’s wedding site, BHLDN.  I know, it’s ok, pick your self up off the floor.

This dress alone would be reason enough for me to plan…somethin’.

I love my hat. (pictures later)

Sandra Backlund has knit some incredible fantastic amazing outfits.

I first saw her work in one of my issues of Selvedge:

I’m very excited about her current collection:

I especially love the way she transforms the body with her organic exaggerated shapes (not to mention those fabulous wedge shoes!).  The shapes are quite beautiful and only make the bodies more beautiful.  Her work is dreamy.  Be sure to check the archives on her site to see more work.

Thanks to Design Milk for reminding me of Sandra Backlund.
