First, it is so very pretty. Second, we support local designers so you can see how to get the look locally. Third, I was so incredibly sick at the time and dragged myself out of hospital, literally, to do this shoot, going back in the next day for surgery. I kid you not. It was 40 degrees in Paarl where we shot this and not even the healthy on the team loved that. So we actually sweated and bled to bring you this story. Is that enough to convince you?
If not, I hope these images, which we didn't include in the story, do. The best of them are in this month's issue of O, The Oprah Magazine, on shelves now. Go. Run. Don't miss out. Good.
