Everybody must get stoned & TAG!

ROCK THESE DETAILS!
Today's Couture Carrie post is about rock, in 2 ways: stones on clothes and accessories AND the fun music tag I recently got from both Marta http://withlovegabrielle.blogspot.com/ and Bostonista http://bostonista-bostonista.blogspot.com/ . See below!
We begin with stone-decorated dresses, from conservative ladylike luxe to beachy chic.
At left, Alberta Ferretti felt dress with stone detail, at Neiman Marcus.
At right, T-Bags stone embellished top, at Net-a-Porter.com
Of course, accessories were rocked as well!

"Gaud" was in the details at Missoni. See the brilliant runway looks at left, where stones embellished everything from necklaces to belts.
At right, a Missoni crocodile envelope clutch with stone details. Missoni photos courtesy style.com.
Erickson Beamon stone cluster ring. Go to net-a-porter.com.

Isharya Kadamba square bangle, also at net-a-porter.

Fave footwear choices, both practical and glamorous?

TAG, YOU'RE IT!
The rules: List seven songs you are into right now. No matter what the genre, whether they have words, or even if they’re not any good, but they must be songs you’re really enjoying now, shaping your summer. Post these instructions in your blog along with your 7 songs. Then tag 7 other people to see what they’re listening to.
1. Gift of Gab - Way of the Light
2. Simon & Garfunkel - The Only Living Boy in New York
3. Finger Eleven - One Thing
4. Maroon 5 - Secret
5. Ne-Yo - Because of You
6. Steve Winwood - Higher Love
7. Ugly Duckling - Get on This
I'm Tagging:
This is quite an enjoyable tag (many thanks to the lovely Marta and the stylish Bostonista!), and I know many of the above-named bloggers adore the tunes, as these fashionistas include music in their daily posts - check all of them out!

By the way, I love stones. My mom gets crazy because everytime we go to the beach I always pick up some of those beautiful little white stones, you know? I love them.

Couture Carrie said...

Fashion Peeps! I am totally grinning from ear to ear as I read your thoughtful, educated and enthusiastic comments!
First, thanks to both Fashion Chalet and Runaway Gallery for noting the derivation of the title - I meant to credit Mr. Dylan!!
Fashion Dreamer - I feel you on the NAP prices, but they are actually having an AWEsome sale right now. Indulge, you deserve it!
Clothes Horse: Good eye, as ever!
Razzzmatazz: Welcome back! P.S. I miss the beach!
Dapper Kid & Sinead - Aren't stoned sandals a "trip"?
Seeker - LOL!!! (that is the first time I have ever used that shorthand, I swear).
Cheers and many thanks to all; you are the best in the business!! xoxox CC
