Givenchy Postage Stamp | France
This image makes me want to write a letter.
Two women represent the typical Givenchy style of the 50s and 60s: Audrey Hepburn and Jackie Kennedy. By furnishing Hollywood movie stars beginning in 1953, Givenchy achieved a popularity like never before. A rather sad event brought global attention to Givenchy dresses. When John F.Kennedy was assassinated, the world witnessed a mourning Kennedy family all dressed in Givenchy clothes. Jackie Kennedy ordered a Givenchy dress for the funeral, which was especially flown in from Paris. It is said, that at that time, the Givenchy atelier possessed individual patterns sheets for every female member of the Kennedy family. In 1955, he introduced separates and then the Orlon-fabric to the haute couture. His designs are elegant and refined. via google imagesFriday, June 18, 2010

Chateau de Chenonceau
"Built on the river Cher, where the unique beauty of its architecture reflects in the water, the Chateau de Chenonceau is the Val de Loire’s finial." This is definitely a must-see castle in France. Group trip?

23 Breathtaking Natural Swimming Pools
To me there are two joys in swimming pool ownership . . . getting one and getting rid of one. I do like a natural pool that looks more like a pond.

Beautiful Stone Church in New Zealand
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfKnYjk7IGnC2_jfTpY2NZd5A-h51VUbNU8R9BcH6epIpFRPm8zIL_o4VXPJI4kg2k-Nc0Ngpj9e0ue-VUW3dCUSsHKJDThYGq9-DU-P_BAfBiVusV9yxQKA1TlymRJ9jCr-vftTojRe36/s400/new+zealand+church.jpg)
I've never been to New Zealand but this beautiful photograph makes me want to go Down Under. Two readers send the following information: "This church was built on the lake shore as a memorial to the pioneers of the MacKenzie Country, nearby stands a very touching memorial to the dogs who worked this country as well. A stunningly beautiful spot. Just beyond the church is a lake with a color you have to see to believe." Now I really want to go.
