2 posts today, darlings!!

F is for Fluorescent (see next post!).
F is also for Fellow Fashionistas!
And CC has been tagged by several of them recently!

A. Happiness
The super stylish Arielle of http://hauteststyle.blogspot.com/ has given me a “Meme” which asks that you name 14 things that make you happy, and then tag six people, urging them to do the same . . .
1. soft serve frozen yogurt
2. huge, luxe, leather handbags (Valentino patent at left via wwd)
3. robust red wine (pref. with an oozy Brie or piquant Manchego)
4. art galleries and museums, especially opening galas!
5. ridiculously fancy shoes
6. picnics
7. Vogue – any country, any issue, any year . . .
8. lounging on the beach
9. Kiki de Montparnasse lingerie
10. Gossip Girl, Lipstick Jungle, Dirty Sexy Money, Desperate Housewives, 90210, etc.
11. Haute Couture (natch!)
12. chocolate chip cookies - baking them is great; but eating the batter is better!!
13. dinners out with the fam (pictured at right – that’s CC in the forest green Smythe velvet blazer!)
14. Fancy gowns and cakes
This is a really fun and rewarding exercise . . . reminds one of the little things that can sometimes matter so much!

B. Quirkiness
I've also been tagged by the very spunky and fabulous Songy of http://stylediscovery.blogspot.com/! Now here are the rules:
a) link back to the person who tagged you
b) mention the rules on your blog
c) tell about 6 unspectacular quirks of yours
d) tag 6 bloggers; and
e) leave a comment on each of the tagged bloggers’ blogs letting them know they've been tagged!
My 6 unspectacular quirks (okay some of them are just facts):
1). I can do calligraphy and origami.
2) My feet are huge. Size 11. Aaaargh.
3) I am sorta shy about putting my pic online, but here is [another] one anyway...
4) Though it is not my first language, I taught Spanish for four years.
5) I memorized Robert Frost’s “Stopping by Woods” in the sixth grade and can still recite it.
6) I like to eat cereal with a baby spoon (picture at right via luntsilver.com).

I am also incredibly honored to have received the Brillante Premio from the darling Claudia of http://flowerprintedmind.blogspot.com/. Be sure to check her out, as she is a star on the rise!
Thank you so much, Arielle, Songy and Claudia!
CC is tagging any & all of you fellow fashionistas out there who wish to do one of 2 tags above!
And darlings, don’t forget to check out today’s “ABCs of Fall Fashion” post below!!

Great minds think alike! I couldn't agree more with 2, 3, 4, 7, 12, and 13.

S (formerly of Modern-Guilt) said...

CC, you are absolutely gorgeous! A GREAT Smythe blazer you've got there!

I adore this post, it really does remind you that some seemingly 'superficial' (I hate that word) things really are joys in life and that you really (meaning "I" :p) shouldn't let yourself minimize or downplay what makes you legitimately happy.

P.S. I also LOVE Dirty Sexy Money!

Kate said...

Size 11 feet huh? Well, look at this way, at least you can find great shoes on clearance. I'm 7.5. There are never any good ones left for clearance.

PS - Linked to you again today for my tutorial. Feathers and fringe...

Viajante said...

Hello CC thank you for visited my blog, well unfortunatly I haven't a translation sistem. Althoug our two blogs are different, as you I do believe that fashion is not a mere frivolity

Take care

Hi there! Thanks a lot for your visit, CC! As per your question; it is pen+ink.

Syed said...

Yum to the frozen yogurt! And the cookies look divine!! Love the post :)

Annie Spandex said...

Lovely list! I'm all for red wine and beaches--though not at the same time. Pina coladas and beaches at the same time, yes. ;D

My mother has sz 11 shoes. But it goes with being fabulously tall, right? You're totally gorgeous, by the way!

Brown Girl Gumbo said...

I love eating cereal with a baby spoon too!! My husband thinks I'm crazy, but now I can tell him that there is another adult who does the same thing!!

LOVE YOUR BLOG!!! :-)

Songy said...

CC! You're gorgeous. Soooo good to see the face of a super blogger. So you're an origami queen like myself. We should do a origami-off sometime in our blogs!! That will be funny.. but hey that is so 'un-fashion'..

thank you for taking time to do the quirks tag I really appreciate it.

Now I'm moving onto a-z fashion posts. ;)

Little Bow Prep said...

That polyvore pic is awesome!

Thank you for your comment!!
I agree with the shoe thingy, I am only 14 and have huuge feet, it's so annoying when you see all your friends in really cute shoes and it's torture going into shops with them knowing I will never be able to squeeze my feet into any of the gorgeous creations!!!
Oooo yes small sppons rule, try eating out of a teacup, thats my obsession at the moment...
