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 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…

Tell CC, darlings: What are you loving right now?
xoxox,
CC

  18. 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.

  42. 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!

  43. •::♥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

  50. 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!!
