I never got into bustiers until I tried one on this February by Malene Grotrian, and then it was implanted in my brain as a must-buy. They're so versatile!
ReplyDeleteI love the back of the LaROK dress you picked out, CC. :-)

You've inspired me to rummage through and find those bustiers I haven't worn in ages...I wonder if I still have them? I also love the casual feel to the sleeved dresses.

ReplyDeleteI never really had one, maybe I should give one a try!
ReplyDeleteyou can never go wrong with a perfect corset! It's like the perfect mix of sex and class. That Cavalli dress is just moth atering. I remember when Snejana wore it back in the Spring 2007 collection, my heart skipped a beat. Anyways, I know it's been forever since I last paid a visit. So I hope everything is well.

Hello Couture Carrie...I love reading your blog and I was wondering how you could help me. I'm a very fashion conscious person...thanks to your blog and similar others...But in my town I don't have access to better private label designers. I was hoping you could give me a top ten list or more of your favorite online boutiques that have price points between $250.00 and $1,000.00 per item. I LOVE fashion accessories too. Please feel free helping me get very fashion creative.
ReplyDeleteAll other commenters, please feel free to contribute your favorite top 10 list as well.
Sincerely,
A Fashion Conscious Personality
Gorgeous corsets, especially the pink Pirelli Calendar. Lovely and feminine!xo
