Hey gorgeous CC, love this post. Are you a belt-kinda gal? I can see you as one....don't know why.
ReplyDeleteAnd check out the model in the 2nd shot (Philip Lim). LOVEEE her hair! Gorgeous.
Hope you're having a fab week bella, and that you found those wicked shoes :)
Wow, I LOVE belts, especially corset-belts, and this Louis Vuitton is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteHave a great Monday,
FM~FP~AF
I am trying to start rocking some belts to spruce up some older dresses! Such a great way to add a little something to an outfit. I am very much in love with that bronze chloe belt and I have just to dress to wear it with!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! I love belts! Seriously. It's the first thing I look at when I go to goodwill because they are only a dollar. That's probably why I own SO many!
ReplyDeleteLove the accessory post!
Love the look of the Moschino Cheap & Chic, so unusual. The McQueen also :)
ReplyDeleteBTW YAY! Having my 500th Post Contest FINALLY! Come one, come all to enter and win cool dresses :)
I live in belts! It is my favorite accessory!
ReplyDeleteI love the red belt with black dress. i was just reading about how to put on an obi on a kimono last night. how weird is that. : )
ReplyDeleteLove LV Belts.
ReplyDeleteXXX Carrie, Nice family ;)
I can't help myself... I'm always telling I'm a belts lover!!!
ReplyDeleteLove them all!!!
Have a nice week, dear
xoxo
Ohhhhhhhh. So many lovely pieces. LOVE that Stella and I'm also kind of digging that American Apparel bow number.
ReplyDeleteThese all look fantastic -- but personally I feel SO uncomfortable in belts. Like, constricted. And stubby. :-(
ReplyDeleteI love the Ted Baker double buckle waist belt! gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteOMG that post. Fab! I totally love that Hermés ones...
ReplyDeleteXoXo
this is exactly what I needed. A belt inspiration. Happy Monday CC!
ReplyDeleteI love that pink corset belt, tan belt, and fabric gathered belts. So pretty! Thanks for always keeping us gals updated on the latest fashion. ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm not really a belt person, i mean i have a few that i like to wear with dresses, sometimes with jeans but thats rare. I really want that AA bow belt though. idk for some reason i am just not big on accessories, i hardly ever buy belts!
ReplyDeleteugh those belts are orgasmic!! more women should cinch their waists with them!
ReplyDeleteI just ordered that jcrew belt!
ReplyDeleteI love these looks...belts can add so much to an outfit!
Givenchy.... I'd love to have it and wear with an LBD as a statement piece.
ReplyDeletex
Fab fab fab!! I especially love that gold sash. :)
ReplyDeleteI find belts such a nightmare, I can never find any really interesting ones on the high street so I skip them...because their just too, too bland.
ReplyDeleteHowever these belts are unique, now if only I could buy one or perhaps two of these!
PeAce & BoWs...

When i want to glam up my work outfit, i simply add a skinny belt.... the result= amazing!!!
ReplyDeleteWow, amazing post. REALLY. It would take me all day to put that together! Loving the Louis Vuitton black studded and the gold sash with bow in back (sexy!) from American A.
ReplyDeleteGot to love how belts, particularly the high waisted variety, accentuate the female figure so.
ReplyDeleteSuch an amazing selection of photos - great post!

ReplyDeleteHey Carrie. These belts are awesome. They definitely can make an outfit.
ReplyDeletelove love love all of the belts! they make any outfit fabulous!
ReplyDeletei am a total belt girl. Wearing a gold one right now! but I do need more with embellishments, I just never know how to wear them!
ReplyDeleteHi CC!
ReplyDeleteHappy sunny monday to you!
I felt directly in love with this gold multi-studded belt
from... is it Louis Vuitton?
Mon Dieu... it´s 2die4!!!!!
Yes to belts! For simple daily outfits, they're just so darn easy. In your previous post, you and your sisters look so lovely, like a wonderful trio xoxo
ReplyDeleteThank you CC! I haven't really been a belt wearer, but have been thinking about it a lot...and this post is full of inspiration. I swear you read all your followers minds, you're so perfect!
ReplyDeletexoxo
I love the look of contrasting belts. Great post, as usual.
ReplyDeletewow, I love the belts!
ReplyDeleteThe wider the better. It makes me look skinny :)
ReplyDeleteHi CC!
ReplyDeleteWell, now that my diet is in full gear I can start thinking about my wardrobe again - and having a waist!! I'll be popping by for lots of inspiration. Hope all is well. Loved seeing your photo below.

Such beautiful options, all of them! I'd be hard pressed to choose just one, but I do like the look of the black belt in the first picture and the Ted Baker belt--I like the ruggedness of the big buckles.
ReplyDeleteoh no, you keep making me add to my shopping list! i want the ones by ted baker and kris van assche.
ReplyDeleteI really want a belt now. Maybe with a little bow. Or a flower. Ban.do is loaded with belts that I want to call my own! :)
ReplyDeleteHi miss CC,
ReplyDeleteI have a question for you: I was in love with the dark blue big belt from Matthew Williamson for H&M with studs but was on holiday when they were sold in stores.
Do you know were to find alternatives that +/- range for the same price?
Hope you can help me ;)
Love the post!

ReplyDeleteI love the corset belts, can make an outfit.

I love belts. I've only recently discovered how great they are though. Oh well, better late than never.
ReplyDeletei like the skinny belts and love the balmain and LV belts--i guess i lean towards studded or rock appeal belts ;)
ReplyDeletexxox
All the belts are gorgeous. You have enough belts to make an old and a new testament of bibles.
ReplyDeletexo
Some of my favorite accesories!! Love the Oscar de la Renta blue and black dress!
ReplyDeleteBeso!
Simone
You have such a great blog. It's packed with inspiration and the layout is cool.
ReplyDeleteI love the power of a belt honey! they can do so much for the body line and figure. that fringed alberta ferreti is beautiful!

Loveee this post. Is that model in the teal tube dress wearing a scrunchie?!?!?!?!?? Let me guess. That's from American Apparel?
ReplyDeleteGiant, cinching belts are the best. Especially those double buckle ones! They're so flattering, my cat would probably look good in a double buckle belt.
ReplyDeleteWonderful images as always! That Italian Vogue image is fantastic.
ReplyDeleteI like wide belts. I love the lace up one,but the bouquet one is to die for.
ReplyDeleteOh I love that first one. Have been looking for another belt to add to the collection
ReplyDeletelove it!
ReplyDeletebut i don't wear belts all that often... i'm so lazy! ahahaha
Belts are such a necessary accessory now. I love multiple buckles and plays on texture. The Matthew Williamson belt is amazing! I also love the use of the belt in the Armani look...so chic! The Gaultier belt is super stunning as is the Elie Saab. The silhouettes belts create are mind-blowingly beautiful...if worn properly lol
ReplyDeleteImpossible to choose the best in this stunning collection! Absolutely gorgeous post for sure!
ReplyDeleteLove that Steven Meisel print on print shoot! Its one of my favorites!! Awesome post!
ReplyDeletexo!

I'd like to know how we lived without belts in the first place....where is our waist without them??! I love the look of the black leather wrap around...need to get me one that's tre long & the perfect texture for wrapping.
ReplyDeleteThey are all gorgeous but if I had to pick some, my favourites would be the emporio armani, louis vuitton and zac posen belts.
ReplyDeleteGreat post.

ReplyDeleteSo glamourous!

ReplyDeleteHi sweet Carrie,
ReplyDeleteyes, you're a belt girl for sure!
It's the same with belts and with sunglasses (and with shoes of course) - a woman can't have enough of them!

D&G and Matthew Williamson have won my heart for this Fall. *sigh!*
ReplyDeletei avoid wearing belts. i never find the right belt or if i find it, when i arrive home i don't like it anymore. i'm like a spoiled child
ReplyDeletei'm in need of a new belt or two...and everytime i go shopping for them lately i cant find what i'm looking for :(
ReplyDeleteOMG, I love it all! Overwhelminggg...

Fantastic group, I think wide, metal belts are my favorite, but they do nothing for my nonexistent waist. I stick to the skinny belts or hip slingers.
ReplyDeleteCan you believe the word "belt" can refer to so many different things? They complete an outfit like nothing else in my opinion!
ReplyDeleteIs that a belt/wrap flower? Oh my gosh, if it is .... I want it.. Jcrew? You make me feel like i need another PT job ....
ReplyDeleteI love love love the model's outfit with the blue ruffle collar blouse and suit with the light fishnet stockings! So business chic!
ReplyDeletehttp://www.wreckedstellar.wordpress.com
Mmm love the dresses at Balmain and Ungaro!
ReplyDeleteI'm really liking thin belts at the moment. Great selection :)
ReplyDeleteWow, fabulous post darling! Love belts of all kinds, recently I can;t get enough of the studded ones:)
ReplyDeletei love belts! at least how they look on other girls! haha. i've purchased about 3 belts but i haven't worn them out yet. must be brave....
