what a fantastically thorough post! i'm most excited about hoods, layering and tiers. great job!
Thanks for stopping by my blog! What a fun post. You did a great job with the photoss! I'm excited about cool weather layering and the cordoroy. I think I'll pass on the florescents though. Frightening to see your accessories glow in your closet at night. Makes me think I'm getting some sort of radiation poisoning.
Hi Couture carrie-I love your posts, they are factual, exciting and bang on trend-keep up the good work! faves today are J & F-jumpsuits and fluros!! I do like this MJ bag!!
This is my favorite post ever!
Seriously--- HOW do you do this? Another fabulous post. :)
LOVE this post!!
I love this post! Gasp! You should write a book and save the world with your incredible-ness!
Great idea this ABCs, I definitely want the Louboutins!
I love everything for Fall!!!!My fave are the Eighties, Corduroy, and Layers. Great Post!
Hi cutie! I think your posts are great, I get a lot of inspiration from you! They are so well done and presented, keep up the good work!

What a great work.
Sorry my absence, you know... holidays, I'm very behind posts, but I'm recovering... ;)
xoxo
great job!
Great post! Great fashion!
I'm not sure how I feel about that "whiff whiff whiff" noise that corduroy makes. It brings back bad childhood memories.
thank you doll! :)
as always, love your posts as you always come up with something creative, these abc's are very fun.
fantastic!!!
CC, oohh total fab post.
the last two, wow! + brocade and cordoroy and deconstruction, yes!
Glad someone else is fixated with AW fashion - I am dying to get posting about it. Got to the 'underboob' bit and laughed out loud - very funny! Great post.

Whoa at the corduroy dress. Something very workmen about it.
Wow- what a great post! Although I always hate to see summer come to an end. Those Miu Miu shoes are crazy!
This is such a great idea! I'd be tempted to wear an alphabetised outfit every day until September 1 but I don't know how i'd go with the Underboob hehe.
The tiered skirt was just stunning - I need to find one very soon!
You had me at the d'Orsays. LOVE!
Drooling over all of this.

Corduroy is awesome for winter.
