Wow @ those green boots. I used to think I "couldn't" wear green and now it's one of my favorite colors to wear.
I saw Cindy McCain this a.m. in green. I wonder if she saw your fantastic green post before she got dressed this a.m. Carrie, you have the most thorough and beautifully done trend reports of any blog I have seen.
So many beautiful things! I love the Smythe funnel neck jacket. I don't think I have any green items in my wardrobe, maybe it's about time...
Have a nice day cutie:)
Such a nice colour! Love the dsquared outfit, would look good with really red lips!
I just love the colour green! That bag Blair from GG has is gorgeous.
My heart stopped at the sight of the green Luiza dress. So pretty!
Well. what can I say? I just LOVE green... my mum still remembers taking me to buy shoes when I was about 5 and me throwing a tantrum because I wanted green shoes or nothing and there wasn't any then... Did I say I loved the post?!?
Thank you. <3
I find that so great about Foxes too.
Loving green this Season, great pick!
SO sweet knee socks!!! :)
loving the green. I've been thinking about my fall handbag lately and maybe I'll just go with green. My spring/summer has been a greyish blue botkier which I am now bored with. New mission: Green bag. Thanks for inspiring!
I am loving the green!!!!!! Beautiful colors :)
oh wow. your blog is absolutley amazing! so much inspiration and awesome pictures !:D
I think people with brown hair looks really good in green :)
that pinup girl reminded me a lot of a dark haired jessica simpson, dunno why..:P
i so loved blaire's green bag from the GG episode. i was literally droooooling mmm
x
LOL You know that I was preparing a post about green in F/W as an option to black or red? And I was thinking in name it "hope or envy?".... LOL
So I think that now it's not worth do it, because we've done such a great work. Well I can say that great minds think alike ;) :D
Yes, I think green will be a very nice colour to combine.
xoxo
And the layout is being very very pretty. I like it.
Hummm...just feel a bit sad because I'm not worth to be linked.....
xoxo
Amazing! This was so inspired!
love the new header girl.

green is so lively. so fresh. love it. always so wonderful...
ooh love green.. but some shades look terrible on me!

Those Pucci boots are fabulous!!
OOoh, I love the green. Very rich and lovely.
Hi sweety!!!
I love it green colour!!!
So many beautiful things!!!
Kisses!!!
Sa! MAG!
I've always had a fondness for garments that are green! One of my favorite dresses is a bright green, as well as my favorite part of Converse high tops are my bright green ones!
I love Blair's purse! and everything else!
ps looove the new layout!
incredible, these greens are amazing.!
Love the green theme...if you dont mind I will use the theme in a upcoming post.....(giving you props of course)
oh NO! Now I'm going to think about those green patent boots for the next three weeks!
I love green, I think it's my favourite colour because it looks so fresh and fun. I love all the dresses here and I really like that Lacoste look too!
gosh those green patent boots are gorgeous! i think green is underrated, people should wear them more often.
as usual, great job with the post! =D
i lovee blair's looks with the green bag! i haven't been on your blog for such a long time; i just took forever to read everything! =)
i've moved! http://lacouturiernyc.wordpress.com
this is my favorite post of yours so far...I can't get enough of the greens...Bravo!
never really a big fan of green, but am kinda embracing gradually. love the tracey reese dress-- i thing a green sock with boot will be nice for fall mix :)
xoxo
Getting ready for an early St. Patricks Day? I'm starting to like green actually. I never noticed that Dsquared dress on the runway, so great post! There's certainly alot of green in the SS 09 collections. It's more of a demure green though (except for Lacoste).
Thanks for the great comment! It really means alot coming from you. :]
Green is absolutly one of my favorite colors - I love everything in this post! Esp the Thakoon dress oh my GOODness. amazing.
My favorite color is green. So it's really nice to see those green bags, shoes, clothes and everything. Thanks CC! :)
Love the new header!
Wearing green makes me look more pink, but green purses? Love.
I adore GREEN... WOW... you found a photo of how I dress when I paint... LOL!
I used to be a big fan of green. Now I have like one green thing in my entire wardrobe. How weird! Hah.
pretty pretty greens! I especially like all the textured fabrics.
the first dress is really amazing! :) and maybe i shud start off with some green bag since its not actually my color :)
That purple/green circle print dress is SO cute!!
Oh i adore green! Just not on me lol. Seriously it just isn't a great look but i wish wish wish on a shooting planet that i could. Its such a raw and beautiful colour! Exiting for those who can pull it off!
A whole new AND fabulous look, CC, wow, I am in awe. As always, impeccably executed article by you, love it! Green is classics.
xxxxxx
Green is such a gorgeous colour! Love all of your choices, and I just adore the bag Blair is holding in that photo.
xox
holllerrr to my fav color!!
love the new layout :)
Such a terrible colour on me, but I LOVE these images and you are tempting me to give it another try!
P.S. Thank you for the amazing compliments CC, you are an absolute doll and it is reciprocated: I love your blog very, very much and find daily inspiration from it!
I swear, green really does go well with just about ANY skintone...it's the truth. Even people who have already olive skintones look great in green. I think it must be just the earthy nature of green...it really works on almost everybody.
I would take it all; I love green clothes!!
Besos!
your love for fashion is really inspiring.i admire your passion.
link me?
i really like the white nautical inspired one

I am not a big fan of green..but I've been pretty experimental lately... I love the Vanity Fair pin up look, so pretty :)
Green rocks!! Definitly!
