i am but a poor just graduated no longer student and i need some fly pants :(
ReplyDeleteStrapless dresses and high heeled booties are amazing together! Nearly anything looks great with high heeled booties, as long as you make sure to keep the other pieces according to the season.
ReplyDeleteBut as great as the top pictures are, i'm for some reason, kind of in love with that picture at the bottom. The model is in a green dress, and is wearing bright, hot pink socks with nearly fluorescent yellow heeled sandals, i'm kind of in love with that footwear combination :)
I also loveee infinity pools :) That Gucci dress is gorgeous too, darling CC! You always pick the most lovely things...I also love that you play gin rummy with your sister! So fun!
ReplyDeleteI just love Current/Elliott. These jeans look fabulous! :)
Who won that gin rummy game? And do you cheat? Just kidding, but hey cheat to win!
ReplyDeleteWould love those skinny jeans!
CC, i love styleshake too!! I've posted about it last month ^o^
ReplyDeleteAaand I loove those jeans (*drool).

ReplyDeleteAgneta from Sweden
i can vouch for the current/elliot legging jeans...they are DIVINE. most perfect-fitting, most comfortable lightweight jeans i've ever worn! plus they make my legs look miles long- that's something, considering i'm only 5'2".
ReplyDeletei've posted about these amazing jeans a few times on my blog (worn by moi).
since getting the black ones, i've been searching for a pair in blue denim, to no avail. :(
LOVE Current/Elliot they're so surprisingly soft, I could live in them.
