    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:)

    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.....

    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. :]

    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.
