CC Loves & Contest Winner!

Darlings, can you believe it? This is the 500th CC post! In celebration, CC is delighted to announce the winner of the monthly CC StockinGirl Giveaway and the proud owner of these incredibly chic scrunch-bottom leggings in her choice of Espresso or Black: the lovely La Petite Fashionista! Congrats, darling!
Couture Carrie has really been a joy for me to maintain these past few years, and I owe a huge debt of gratitude to all my readers, Fellow Fashionistas, and Followers. So thank you, darlings! And now, just a smattering of things that CC loves:
Bustiers worn over shirts, as at Emanuel Ungaro (via style.com).
These Brian Atwood Marielle satin pumps, at net-a-porter.com.
These Christian Dior two-tone strappy booties, at bergdorfgoodman.com.
These Tibi feathered pumps, at chickdowntown.com.
Fashion Illustrations like this one by Peter Breese.
This Elizabeth and James silk chiffon shrug, at net-a-porter.com.
Patsy Stone.
Photos of models backstage. Christian Dior via nymag.com.
Rooftop terraces like this bar at 230 Fifth Avenue, NYC. CC can attest that it’s even better at night, packed with fabulously tanned New Yorkers sipping martinis!
This Russian Vogue editorial courtesy Fellow Fashionista Fashion Pulse.
This Tolani scarf at chickdowntown.com.
This V magazine spread aptly titled “Lady Lust.”
This Vivienne Westwood Gold Label Lily gown, at net-a-porter.com. No, CC is not getting married, but still…
Dress forms. Numero editorial, October 2006 by Lucia Val and Franco Musso.
These True Religion Gwen skinny jeans with ankle zippers, at shopbop.com.
These Rockstar biker jeans, at shopplanetblue.com.
These David Lerner leggings, at shopbop.com.
This Bliss Lau harness at 80spurple.com.
The architecture of Antoni Gaudí.
Super deals like this Purple Label tux dress, $36 at 80spurple.com.
These J. Crew horizon-stripe shorts. Is CC too old (33) to be wearing shorts?
This Alexander Wang Baggy Boaters dress, at shopbop.com.
This Marchesa dress at Bergdorf Goodman.
Tell CC, darlings: What are you loving right now?
xoxox,
CC
P.S. Fellow Fashionista Diane of Snapshot Fashion and several others are hosting a Fashion Party for bloggers on Saturday June 13th at Heathers (506 E. 13th Street between Ave. A & Ave. B) in NYC. The gathering starts at 4pm. Drinks are 2-for-1; since it is being held in a bar you must be 21 years old to attend. CC hopes to attend and would love to see all of you there! For more information, contact Diane at snapshotfashion@gmail.com. It’s going to be a fabulous event with giveaways and lots more!

Cammila said...

You are officially prolific! Congratulations! :)

And I'm totally feeling the dramatic makeup and tippy-tall hair. If I had enough of it, I'd make a bouffant like Patsy's, and hide a vodka bottle inside. You know, just to make it authentic.

Couture Carrie said...

Thank you for all your well wishes, darlings!

J'Adore ~ those jeans can be found here:

Well, congratulations on your 500th post! And many more to come.
As for Pilates, I'm just a beginner ... I do it because it's good for my posture and my health .. but I follow the instructions given by the trainer ... period!

Gabbi said...

•::♥Happy 500th dearest CC!♥::•

I ♥ your Lo♥es, especially those Tibi feathered pumps and the Peter Breese illustration. I definitely don't think 33 is too old for shorts... especially if you're a fabulous Pilates teacher.

Wish I was in New York for the blogger party and congratulations to the winner!xo

Amelia said...

Magdalena said...

CC I'm 43, I have 3 kids and wear shorts,( only on occasion and if they are really nice/classy) I work out like crazy everyday and still fit into my high school jeans.(not that I would ever wear them in public) You are drop dead gorgeous, Of course you can wear shorts!! I have already ordered the J Crew striped ones. With great jewelry, a lovely top and the perfect shoe, plus an awesome blowout and its a perfect look for for champagne cocktails in my garden on Friday evenings!!

Marmelindela said...

Congrats. Lovely pictures, lots of inspiration. I'm going to Barcelona in two weeks, to look at some Gaudí architecture, so exited. Lovely blog. x

Jim @ CoolStuffForDads.com said...

That rooftop terrace is looking like one cool place for a cocktail, cheers!

Jen Laceda | Milk Guides said...

I absolutely love those Christian Dior strappy booties -- they will go well with sarouel pants! That boater's dress from Bergdorf is a dream. I want to go buy one now!! Plus factor on the boater's dress: it's black and will hide all my post-baby chubbles! Haha!

Hi CC--- I feel so embarrassed, I have to resend it tomorrow, it was sent back to us last week--- and I can not believe this myself but I forgot to put the COUNTRY on it.. can you believe that? UGH..

My husband scolded me and said "you do the wrapping and I'll do the shipping"... opps...

On a more happier note, I know you'll love it!
