DESCRIBE YOUR PERSONAL STYLE:Eclectic yet sophisticated. Right now, I am loving patterned dresses.

Loved reading these tags! I think your obsessions are fabulous - those P.Hardy heels are stunning! I can also relate to the printed dresses... I couldn't stop buying them last summer and now I have a whole wardrobe full. Hope you had a lovely weekend!
I love the first glasses. I am pretty sick of mine alr..
I LOVE this...wearing something that makes one uncomfortable psychologically. You said it sister! Oh and Balmain tortures me on a fairly regular basis!
Those Pierre Hardy shoes are great.
Happy Monday CC!!! What fabulous attire you're wearing. The zippered dress is FAB.U.LOUS. With fall in the air...i can't wait to wear tights :)
Those notecards are adorable...thanks for the chance to win.
patterned dresses scare me! but it's something that i am definitely willing to try...
Great tag! Nice answers! And the heels are pretty good!! i liked the white heels dear....
Cute post- that Candance Ang necklace is amazing! Those cards are soooo cute! :)
Great tags dearest CC! Fellow Scorpio♥♥ such a good sign. : )
Also, wonderful giveaway, as always. I love Fifi's work!
Wishing you a wonderful new week.♥xo

www.coquettishfacade.blogspot.com
the rodarte boots are definitely on the top of my list :)
Oh, how wonderful! I love the outfit you're wearing today...the Fifi flowers cards and of course, the fantasy designers you chose. Gorgeous!
You featured one of my favorite Vogue covers ever. I have never seen Natalia Vodianova look more gorgeous than she does there. All dewy-faced and glossy nude lips. Simply divine photo!
Ooh, Fifi Flowers is one of my favorites. Her work is so high fashion yet whimsical. Fabulous giveaway, darling! :)
Hi CC,how are you doing on this sunny monday?
Simple enjoyed to read your Q&A´s and also to
take a look at all the pictures!!
The Pierre Hardy heels with the multicolored oversized pailettes look like so much fun!!!
Have a beautiful monday!
The pumps are stunning!! Huge fan of Fifi and her work would love to win the note cards
That Pierre Hardy is major.. I like!!
Pierre Hardy! Those confetti shoes are killer.
The Candace Ang necklace has my name all over it!
Hey CC! Always enjoy reading your tags.. very cool that you're also a Pilates instructor. Enrolling in a Pilates class is near the top of my 'to do' list. LOVE those statement glasses and the blue asymmetrical dress! And I'm with you that if I won some dough tomorrow, it would def. go towards anything Balmain!
xo, Becs
This is one of the best answers yet - I totally love that you are doing what you love and that it trumps having lots of money. Also I totally agree with this statement: Wearing something that makes one uncomfortable (psychologically, not physically).
Oooh, who is that last dress by? I would feel psychologically sound in that dress and worthy of sitting for a portrait by gorgeous Fifi.
xoxo
Love the first photo!
always love learning more about you cc!
Happy Monday Dear!! Amazing post as usual...Lady Gaga + Balmain = super awesome!

Those Pierre Hardy pumps are rather fab!
I love statement frames too, but unfortunately ones quite so dark (brown, black) don't seem to suit me.
Florrie x
