Fernando Mastrangelo's Drift Collection
Brooklyn-based artist Fernando Mastrangelo has unveiled the next additions to his 'Drift' collection with a range of glaciers and natural earth formations masquerading as furniture.
Mastrangelo uses materials such as salt, coffee, sand, glass and cement to cast strikingly sculptural objects. His Drift collection began with a not-so-humble bench made of sand and cement, which was exhibited during New York Design week and Collective Design Fair last year.
Now, further inspired by trips to Patagonia and the Grand Canyon, the collection has grown to include a sofa that is both ravishing and rugged in appearance. Like the Drift bench, it is made from sand and cement but is upholstered in luxurious velvet. It is joined by a coffee table also cast from sand and cement and 'petra' side tables in blue and pink. There is also a series of mirrors featuring a combination of stratified sand and steely glass.
The Patagonian landscape has inspired the subtle colour palette and Mastrangelo uses hand-dyed sand to reflect its ice-blue glaciers. The artist combines refined and polished elements with an unpredictable rugged surface to represent natural elements. The works are intriguingly contradictory – both raw and refined, durable and delicate, formal and functional.
The influence of the Grand Canyon is seen in the sand, which is cast in layers to create a delicate ombre effect. It recalls layers of earth and strata as the colours gradually blend from one hue to the next.
All designs in the Drift collection is handcrafted by Mastrangelo in his Brooklyn studio and are produced in very limited quantities. Each one represents an earthy inspiration.

Social and transitional identity: exploring social networks and their significance in a therapeutic community setting

There is considerable literature indicating the importance of social connectedness and its relationship to wellbeing. For problem substance users, a similar literature emphasises the importance of the transition from a social network supportive of use to one that fosters recovery. Within this framework, the therapeutic community (TC) is seen as a critical location for adopting a transitional identity (i.e. from a "drug user" to a "member of the TC"), as part of the emergence of a "recovery identity" following treatment. The purpose of this paper is to outline a model for conceptualising and measuring identity based on the theories of social identity and recovery capital, and pilots this model within a TC setting. A social identity mapping was used with TC residents to test their identification with "using" and "TC" groups, and their relationship to recovery capital. The network mapping method was acceptable to TC residents, and provided valuable insights into the social networks and social identity of TC residents. This paper explores issues around mapping social identity and its potential in the TC and other residential settings. The paper integrates a number of conceptual models to create a new framework for understanding transitions in social networks during treatment and reports on a novel measurement method underpinning this.

After that, go shopping!

Study reveals how ecstasy triggers euphoria
A study in the journal Biological Psychiatry reveals for the first time how the illicit drug ecstasy (3,4-methylenedioxy-N-methylamphetamine (MDMA)) produces feelings of euphoria in users. The researchers, from Imperial College London, say their findings hint at ways that ecstasy might be used in the treatment of anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). MDMA has previously been investigated as an adjunct to psychotherapy in the treatment of PTSD, with a recent study in the US reporting positive results.
Although MDMA has been a popular recreational drug since the 1980s, there has been little research on precisely which areas of the brain it affects. The new study is the first to use functional magnetic resonance imaging to scan the brains of subjects under its influence.
In the new study, 25 volunteers underwent brain scans on two occasions, one after taking the drug and one after taking a placebo, without knowing which they had been given.
The scans indicated that MDMA decreases activity in the limbic system - a set of brain structures involved in emotional responses. Additionally, communication between the medial temporal lobe and medial prefrontal cortex, which is involved in emotional control, was reduced. This effect and the drop in activity in the limbic system are opposite to the patterns seen in patients who suffer from anxiety.
Researcher Robin Carhart-Harris added that MDMA also increased communication between the amygdala and the hippocampus. Past studies on patients with PTSD have found a reduction in communication between these two areas. "We found that MDMA caused reduced blood flow in regions of the brain linked to emotion and memory," he explained. "These effects may be related to the feelings of euphoria that people experience on the drug."
As part of the study, the volunteers were asked to recall their favorite and worst memories while inside the scanner. The researchers say the subjects rated their favorite memories as more vivid, emotionally intense and positive after MDMA than placebo, and they rated their worst memories less negatively. This was reflected in the way that parts of the brain were activated more or less strongly under MDMA.
"MDMA seems to lessen the impact of painful memories," said Carhart-Harris. "This fits with the idea that it could help patients with PTSD revisit their traumatic experiences in psychotherapy without being overwhelmed by negative emotions."
Study leader David Nutt said the findings do suggest possible clinical uses for MDMA in treating anxiety and PTSD, but "we need to be careful about drawing too many conclusions from a study in healthy volunteers. We would have to do studies in patients to see if we find the same effects."

Book Review – Blackass
Furo Wariboko woke up and he had turned white. Naturally, I feel the need to ask why? Here's an unemployed 33-year-old university graduate still living in his parent's home, he's understandably struggling with self-esteem issues and so on; but why turn white? Well, you won't find your answer here. The author tells us to take it or leave it, he turned white. End of story. Let's move on.
Furo definitely doesn't waste any time moving on, 2 hours into his transformation and he's already reaping the benefits of his whiteness. He talks his way into the purse of a random stranger, he not only jumps the queue at the job interview he woke up for, he is offered a Senior Position, with reasonable perks, and at this point (I still don't get it) he decides not to go back home ( Why?, not because his family won't accept him… ). He talks his way into a room in the home a "Lagos Big Girl", who apparently is happy to feed, fuck and clothe him as long as he has the power to give her mixed race babies like all of her friends.
Something that bugs me about this is the writer inserting himself into the story. I know… It's just a character that happens to be a writer, and has dreadlocks whose name is Igoni; the purpose of this character appears to be providing an external view to Furo's story (I don't know!!) but I found his/her narrative too long and kind of pointless. So Furo's sister became a twitter celebrity, Who cares?
I won't say it wasn't entertaining though. One thing this book has in abundance is laughs, it is funny, educative for aspiring digital marketers etc but there are one too many aspects that turn me off. For example:
Introducing Igoni as a man and by the next chapter, he's a woman. Why? The Igoni we were introduced to showed no indication of desiring to be a woman. How did it happen? It's one thing for Furo to transform but sneaking another transformation on us, out of the blue with no explanation. No!!
I also wasn't happy with the blatant, 'it's a white man's world'- ness of the story (Does that make sense?). I am well aware of reality, but I don't want to read about it, especially in a character as disgusting as Furo. You see, Furo is a master manipulator, he doesn't think twice about using people and frankly I don't like him at all. Of course, this character flaw is nurtured by people who will do anything to be associated with his whiteness.
As much as I have issues with the story, the book is an interesting read. It is funny, and the writer's ability to bring Lagos to life with his words is flawless. He perfectly describes the economic disparity you'll find moving from one end of Lagos to another, even the plot is coming together nicely till we get to Igoni's transformation.
Would I recommend it? Sure, it's a great story and reactions can be subjective.
"Furo Wariboko awoke this morning to find that dreams can lose their way and turn up on the wrong side of sleep."
"Mosquitoes. Those Brit-massacring heroes of West Africa's anti-colonial resistance: the unacknowledged national insect of Nigeria."
Title: Blackass
Author: A. Igoni Barrett
Published by: Graywolf Press
Furo Wariboko, a young Nigerian, awakes the morning before a job interview to find that he's been transformed into a white man. In this condition he plunges into the bustle of Lagos to make his fortune. With his red hair, green eyes, and pale skin, it seems he's been completely changed. Well, almost. There is the matter of his family, his accent, his name. Oh, and his black ass.
Furo must quickly learn to navigate a world made unfamiliar, and deal with those who would use him for their own purposes. Taken in by a young woman called Syreeta and pursued by a writer named Igoni, Furo lands his first-ever job, adopts a new name, and soon finds himself evolving in unanticipated ways.
A. Igoni Barrett's Blackass is a fierce comic satire that touches on everything from race to social media while at the same time questioning the values society places on us, simply by virtue of the way we look. As he did in Love Is Power, or Something Like That, Barrett brilliantly depicts life in contemporary Nigeria, and details the double-dealing and code-switching that is implicit in everyday business. But it's Furo's search for an identity—one deeper than skin—that leads to the final unraveling of his own carefully constructed story.

Fabulola says:
When I read this book, and I got to the part where the author inserted himself and then transformed, it read to me like a sort of coming out story. If that makes sense? The book to me seemed like a cover up for the author coming out of some closet. Now I have no idea if he is in any closet, but it was sooo unnecessary for him to insert himself that it made me wonder, if he was trying to tell us something by putting himself in the story.
But then I read Metamorphorsis, which the book was allegedly "inspired by" and I was disappointed all over again. Blackass didn't work for me. The story seemed a little all over the place and didn't eventually tie back together at the end.

I thought about that too, whether he was coming out, but i realise that i don't give a @#$%. Come out on your own time, or put it in the blurb so i know what i'm getting into. Yeesh!!

Hunnis and the Chapel Royal under Elizabeth
Back to Mr WH
Shortly after Elizabeth's coronation in 1558 she released Mary's political prisoners; Hunnis was most likely among them. He was soon reappointed as a Gentleman of the Chapel, and his close association with Richard Farrant resumed.
Farrant left the Chapel Royal in 1564 to take the role of Master of the Children of the Chapel at Windsor, although he resumed his role as a Gentleman of the Chapel Royal with Hunnis in 1569, seemingly without relinquishing the role at Windsor.
From 1561, as a Gentleman of the Chapel, Hunnis served under the famous poet and dramatist Master Richard Edwards. Edwards and Hunnis were the two main contributors to the most popular poetical miscellany of the sixteenth century, The Paradise of Dainty Devices. Along with Edwards, Hunnis is credited with being one of the two fathers of Elizabethan song.
Perhaps even more significantly, in response to the appreciative encouragement of Elizabeth herself, theatre flourished under Edwards. When Edwards died in 1566, Hunnis was elected by the other 31 Gentlemen to become Master of the Children of The Chapel Royal. Stopes surmises that the election of Hunnis and his patent from the Queen were recognition of his skill in drama more so than in music, as drama had become the central concern of the Children of the Chapel.
Hunnis held this position that was so central to the life of Elizabeth's court until his death in 1597, over 30 years later.
This is a detailed account for services in his second year as Master of the Children:
... for seven plays, one tragedy and six masques. Six hundred four and thirty pounds nine shillings and five pence, employed upon these plays, tragedies, and masques following, namely, Imprimis for seven plays, the first named As plain as can be, the second The Painful Pilgrimage the third Jack and Jill, the fourth Six Fools, the fifth called Wit and Will; the sixth called Prodigality, the seventh of Oreste, and a tragedy of the King of Scots.
The volume of work produced in one year gives some indication of the intensity of theatrical production. Stopes also conjectures that the tragedy of The King of Scots may have provided the plot for Macbeth.
In 1575 Elizabeth was entertained at the Kenilworth festivities; lavish pageantry, dancing, performance, feasts, hunting parties and fireworks that lasted for 19 days - by which the Earl of Leicester sought to move her to marriage. It was the grandest performance festival of the century, and Leicester entrusted Master William Hunnis as the chief artist. Clearly Hunnis was extremely highly regarded.
George Gascoigne, a poet who also contributed to the event, recounts that as Elizabeth arrived at Kenilworth, Hunnis himself greeted her in the role of the Prophetess Sybil with verses he had written. Following this, The Lady of the Lake was presented. In this monumental production, Elizabeth observed from a bridge while she was addressed by a mermaid on the back of a huge dolphin who calmed the waters of the lake. Later she was serenaded by Arion (whom Gascoigne mistakenly calls Proteus) from an even larger dolphin. Its fins served as oars and it concealed six musicians. This production was also devised by Hunnis.
Many scholars have surmised that Shakespeare might have been present at this performance, since Oberon in A Midsummer Night's Dream recalls identical events:
... once I sat upon a promontory,
And heard a mermaid on a dolphin's backUttering such dulcet and harmonious breath
That the rude sea grew civil at her song
And certain stars shot madly from their spheres, [fireworks?]
To hear the sea-maid's music.
And, in Twelfth Night, the Captain recounts to Viola:
Where like Arion on the Dolphin's back I saw him hold acquaintance with the waves.
We speculate that as a child of the Chapel Royal, or alongside these children under Hunnis, the young Henry Neville may have seen or even participated in the festivities. He would have been between 12 and 13 years old at the time. Sonnet 59 seems to support this idea with its reference to "a former child" as we will explore later.
Stopes notes that it was prohibited for plays that had been printed to be performed before the Queen. It is perhaps for this reason that, other than the anonymous Jacob and Esau, none of Hunnis's dramatic works have been preserved. However, Stopes states:
I strongly believe that he was the author of the anonymous Comedy or Interlude of Jacob and Esau.
This play exhibits unusual subtlety of motivation and gives prominence to the servant characters to enliven the action. Stopes dates the play to the early reign of Queen Mary:
It is the first drama of its kind that eschews all allegorical treatment .... The most striking feature of the play perhaps, is the modernness of its style, a sign that the writer was one of the leaders in the literary developments of the Metropolis. The Dialogue is well-sustained; except for two lively soliloquies there are no long speeches, as were then too common. It is permeated with quiet humour that never approaches either coarseness or profanity.
Unlike Hunnis's dramas, several of his poetic works were published in his lifetime. Certayne Psalmes chosen out of the Psalter of David was published in 1550. In the extended title he described himself as servant to the Right Honorable Sir William Herbert, Knight. This was Sir William Herbert, grandfather to the Earl of Pembroke to whom the First Folio is dedicated.
Perhaps significantly in the context of encryption, Stopes notes that in William Webbe's 1586 Discourse on English Poetry, Hunnis was praised for his innovative use of acrostics in two poems:
These two verses by W. Hunnis are now as it were resolved into divers other, every two words or syllables being the beginning of another like verse of the sort.
In addition, Hunnis used acrostics extensively in his prefatory material to other works. Perhaps most relevant to the Dedication to the Sonnets are A Hyve Fvll of Hunnye: Contayning the Firste Booke of Moses, called Genesis (1578), and Hunnies Recreations(1595), both of which deal with the Book of Genesis and so may qualify Hunnis as "the onlie begetter".

The United Nations is at risk of running out of cash, the UN chief has warned, urging member states to pay their mandatory contributions on time and in full to ensure that the world body can continue to deliver on its key mandates.
In a letter to UN staff, Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said he had "written to member states regarding the troubling financial situation facing the United Nations".
"Caused primarily by the delayed contributions of member states to the regular budget, this new cash shortfall is unlike those we have experienced previously," he wrote in the letter.
"Our cash flow has never been this low so early in the calendar year, and the broader trend is also concerning: we are running out of cash sooner and staying in the red longer," the letter stated.
As of July 26, as many as 112 member states, including India, have paid their regular budget dues in full. India made a payment of 17.91 million dollars on January 29 this year.
At the end of June this year, the amount of money paid by member states for the 2018 assessment stood at around $1.49 billion. In the corresponding period last year, the amount paid to the regular budget was just over $1.70 billion.
So far this month, Iraq, Moldova, Japan, Lithuania and Mexico have paid their contributions, leaving the outstanding amount owed for 2018, at nearly $810 million.
A total of 81 nations are yet to pay their regular budget dues. These include Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Brazil, Egypt, Israel, Maldives, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Seychelles, Sudan, Syria, the United States and Zimbabwe.
The United States is the biggest contributor to the United Nations, paying 22 per cent of the $5.4 billion core budget and 28.5 per cent of the $7.9 billion peacekeeping budget.
US Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley had said that other countries need to "step up" and pay a bigger share, adding that Washington's contribution will be capped at 25 per cent.
Last year, the UN had agreed on $5.4 billion budget for the 2018-2019 fiscal year.
The US had negotiated a reduction of over USD 285 million from the budget, saying the "inefficiency and overspending" of the UN are well known and it will "no longer let the generosity of the American people be taken advantage of or remain unchecked".
Mr Guterres said he has appealed to member states to pay their assessments on time and in full, and highlighted the risk the current situation poses to the delivery of mandates and to the reputation of the organisation.
His spokesman Stephane Dujarric told journalists here that the UN fully understands that some member states operate on different fiscal timetables, but unlike in previous years, the cash flow has never been this low, so early in the calendar year.
He also said the UN does not have much financial flexibility and relies on member states to pay their dues on time and in full.
Mr Dujarric added that the UN Secretariat would now be looking into ways of reducing expenses, with a focus on non-staff costs.

For architectural design projects, while there's the emphasis on utilizing 3D models and architectural BIM modeling, the time-tested practice of utilizing architectural drafting and 2D technical drawings remains to be commonplace within the AEC industry. These are three components to search for in any home design plans that you simply think about using. Rather than looking for days, or even weeks, to find the fitting plans, you possibly can find a basic plan that is suitable and make little modifications to create your dream home. If you desire a two-automotive garage, for instance, you will want to search out plans that embrace that. Just remember to at least find a base plan that you simply enjoy and then make notes of customized changes that can need to be made to suit your wants. Once the conceptual design is permitted by the consumer, the design is then progressed into more element and shared with other events resembling structural and MEP engineers.
• Suitable as per value and budgetary requirements - In most cases, construction firms don't find the necessity to take a position extra in 3D models, when drafting solutions provide detailed technical drawings that are adequate and related enough for development. In the construction trade, the availability of drafting groups who can provide 2D technical drawings is ample in comparison with firms that provide 3D modelling providers. A building drawing set (CD set) contains all of the ground plans, elevations, sections and detailed drawings required for development. Architectural drafting is the process of making technical drawings which include the floor plan, sections, elevations, detailed drawings and other paperwork in a development drawing set (CD Set), which are sometimes required for the development of a building. Drafting practices help to supply architectural construction drawings that include the technical particulars of architectural, structural and electrical elements required for the construction of a building. • Availability of software program - The adoption of new software and practices is gradual and gradual in the development trade. The software program utilized in building tasks varies from nation to nation.
The common value of constructing from scratch varies considerably primarily based on the plan and constructing firm. It helps to discuss your necessities with a number of house building companies and/or designers to get an exact estimate of what it will value. Architectural 3D fashions are preferred by architects and designers as a result of they supply a 3D perspective of the conceptual plan of the building; it makes management of venture data simpler and allows for design adjustments on the go. 2D technical drawings in AutoCAD are widely used and suitable making it a preferred option to Revit 3D models. Technical codes, symbols and different additional data equivalent to the sort of material are offered in technical drawings. • Suitable as per development requirements - In some constructing initiatives, 2D technical drawings or architectural CAD drawings are sufficient to complete construction, where additional data that 3D fashions present is just not required. Architectural drafting refers to creating 2D technical drawings and architectural development drawings which are primarily utilized by contractors and consultants on site.
To understand the stage at which architectural drafting takes place, the workflow of a building design lifecycle should be considered. Many house building companies allow you to customise their plans, tailoring particular house options to go well with you. Due to the internet, it is less complicated than ever to search out totally different plans and learn about the choices that you've for constructing your new house. Home design plans are all totally different, so just remember to select plans that you can afford to build. The essential workflow of an architectural design project begins with the architect making a conceptual plan which is normally modelled into architectural 3D models and rendered as photorealistic images for marketing and presentation to shoppers and prospects. • Availability of technical sources - Not all firms have technical sources to deliver 3D models. You'll have to take the time to see what your options are and discover the plans which you can admire. Cost of designs. Some designs that you see might be perfect, however could be nicely out of your price vary if you aren't careful.
While it might not be in your plans to have a house that's 350 sq. metres, you want to determine how massive you want your house to be. If you end up just starting your search, it might be tough to determine exactly how to do that, nonetheless. Home design plans are not all created equally. Everyone has totally different ideas and needs for their new house design, and it will be up to you to choose the design that best suits your needs. Everyone has totally different ideas and needs for his or her new house design, so will probably be as much as you to seek out what works. Size and square metres: Everyone may have different part dimension necessities to work with. For those who prefer a mean size home, it could also be between 80 and a hundred and fifty square metres, relying on what number of rooms and bedrooms you select to have. It's at all times a good idea to view show houses with the identical number of rooms and fundamental format that you like, to assist give you an thought of the area required.

Wedding Wednesday- 31 More Good Ideas for ONE Month Out!
Alright people! We are exactly one month out today! So rather than just do one great idea, I figured I would do 31. I probably won't have another chance to trot out the fun ideas I come across on my blog hopping (which is almost over too! I mean, I am watching them slowly wane from my interest- once you have made your decisions, it just isn't as fun). I especially love that Offbeat Bride, and there a couple on here that I have left at the side for quite a while. So anyway, drink this in people, because it is almost over!
1. This isn't technically only for weddings (It would be awesome for like holidays too) but for a brunch wedding it would be really cool. I can easily explain why we did our wedding the way we did (we want to dance), but if you aren't dancey, I think a brunch wedding would be so cool.
2. Comic book postcards as your guest book. Very cool. I especially love the way they are displaying them.
3. A Unity Sandwich! As opposed to sand or candles or that business. The Boy HATES those, but we would do this if we could. Just amazing. Lifetime commitments do look like sandwiches.
4. A Tetris Invite- This is Genius!! Would be very cool for a gamer wedding.
5. This picture of guys getting ready. I just think this is pretty sweet.
6. Dinosaur bone motif- I just think this is adorable- very tongue and cheek without being overly cutesy.
7. Kids packs- I like this wayyy better than the coloring books that A) they don't use and B) are usually perpetuating a bunch of heteronormative silliness. I mean, if you are at a wedding for a heterosexual couple, some of this business is hard to avoid, but I think there is no reason to treat it like the only option. Or even something they should aspire to? If you just give them notepads, they can use it however they want!
8. This. I am pretty sure this was described as "something for the groom" but I think this could be awesome for anyone! Think of all the weirdness you could have crawling out of your wedding cake! This idea truly has a ton of potential.
9. This is probably the last time I will post a picture of this wedding, the dream one, on the blog. Yet another picture of it has been circulating around the internet, and it seriously has to be the prettiest yet. This is the reception that launched a thousand paper lanterns. Still, come on people! This is amazing!
10. Having a wedding at the cheesy astro turf oasis in the middle of Joshua Tree. Just so creative and bizarre. I love the kind of intentional cheesiness of it all, but Joshua Tree is also so beautiful, so you get a very strange combination.
11. Bride with each bridesmaid pictures- I really love these, because they turn out so much sweeter than the big group pictures. Melissa did these for her wedding, and I really thought they were great.
12. Pictures on the back of the bride and groom's chairs. I saw another one in a magazine wherre the pictures were of the bride and groom as kids. I thought that was such a sentimental idea without being saccharine or overly agressive in its cuteness.
13. Engagement pictures that prominently feature pets (and maybe nothing else)- this engagement pic is so cool because it isn't trying to hard. But putting them in a studio-like space, the photographer avoids some overly domesticated , Beidermeier style intimacy- but it is still intimate!
14. A Blue French Horn as your Guest Book- Perfect for the exceptionally avid How I Met Your Mother enthusiast (or french horn players, I guess).
15. Another great engagement picture- God Bless Neon shoe laces- also, couples which are not equally matched in their eccentricity- I totally get that!
16. Eye of Sauron groom's cake- Wow I wish I had thought of this! THis cake is AMAZING. Now I just think we need to have a Lord of the Ring's themed party so I can make this cake. Just about the most evil cake ever, in a good way. Seriously, one of my girlfriends with babies needs to have a Lord of the Rings themed 1st birthday party so their kid can eat the eye of Sauron!
17. Jenga block guest book- Just, cute. I would prefer a settlers of Cattan Guest Book. Maybe Uno. Or Pirateer.
18. Cookie Bouquet! Another genius sweets-related Idea- It is so sweet and they look delicious!
19. Ok, I am not a hot pink person, but I will happily respect any person's commitment to color. The inside of this skirt is just so cute. A great way to spice up a boring white dress.
20. Harry Potter Engagement Pictures. This is sooooo good. This is why you can't spend too much time on blogs after a decision is done and over with. How do you live with yourself when you realize that you didn't think of a Harry Potter themed engagement shoot?
21. Fruit Monster- I love this guy. Way better than your regular fruit display. The three eyes and strawberry ears are my favorite part.
22. These signs. I like the mix of fonts and colors on this particular one.
24. A beautiful Prego bridesmaid! I mean, I have a couple pregos in the mix, and i love the look they did for this girl! I just want them to feel cute too!
25. I go back and forth on loving this and thinking like it looks like a sea of hung up used tissues.My Dad's dog would love it!
26. These guestbooks- Probably the Boy's favorite thing we got for the whole wedding. It's very cute!
27. Brides with Bettie Page bangs. I miss my blunt bangs, but I hear having them for your wedding leads to all kinds of annoyances and such. Still, this girl looks adorable.
28. Suspenders! I love them, I love this picture, and I love the commitment of the two guys on the left.
29. Polka dot bridesmaid dresses- I love some pattern. In Pam and Carlo's wedding, we wore black and white patterned dresses and they were so cute. People shouldn't be afraid of patterns!
30. Quilting details. So pretty!
31. This veil. Just beautiful!
Alright people!! We only have 31 days to go!! It's almost the end of Wedding Wednesday!
